that could give rise to the delay or termination of the Merger
Agreement; the outcome or length of any legal proceedings that have
been, or will be, instituted related to the Merger Agreement; the
inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to timely or at all
obtain stockholder approval for the Merger or the failure to satisfy
other conditions to completion of the Merger, including the receipt on a
timely basis or at all of any required regulatory clearances related to
the Merger; the failure of Parent to obtain or provide on a timely basis
or at all the necessary financing as set forth in the equity commitment
letters delivered pursuant to the Merger Agreement; risks that the
proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the
potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the Merger;
the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market
conditions on the economy in general; and the other risks and
uncertainties described herein, as well as those risks and uncertainties
discussed from time to time in our other reports and other public
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as
described below. The foregoing review of important factors that could
cause actual events to differ from expectations should not be construed
as exhaustive.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company provides financial measures that are not defined under
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP,
including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, adjusted unlevered
free cash flow and levered free cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below and in Note 16 – Segment Reporting
of our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
our Annual Report, is the primary measure used by our chief operating
decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings/(loss) from operations before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)
adjusted to exclude acquisition or disposal-related transaction costs,
losses on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, unrealized
foreign currency gains/(losses) on intercompany loans, gains/(losses) on
business dispositions and non-cash income/(loss) on equity and cost
method investments. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA
divided by revenue. Adjusted unlevered free cash flow is defined as
Adjusted EBITDA less purchases of property and equipment, net of
stimulus grants, plus additions to deferred revenue, less non-cash
monthly amortized revenue. Levered free cash flow is defined as net cash
provided by operating activities less purchases of property and
equipment, net of stimulus grants. Adjusted unlevered free cash flow and
levered free cash flow are not measurements of our financial performance
under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives
to net income, net cash flows provided by operating activities, total
net cash flows or any other performance measures derived in accordance
with GAAP or as alternatives to net cash flows from operating activities
or total net cash flows as measures of our liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA is a performance rather than cash flow measure. In
addition to Adjusted EBITDA, management uses adjusted unlevered free
cash flow, which measures the ability of Adjusted EBITDA to cover
capital expenditures. We use levered free cash flow as a measure to
evaluate cash generated through normal operating activities. These
metrics are among the primary measures used by management for planning
and forecasting future periods. We believe the presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors
to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and
make it easier to compare our results with the results of other
companies that have different financing and capital structures. We
believe that the presentation of levered free cash flow is relevant and
useful to investors because it provides a measure of cash available to
pay the principal on our debt and pursue acquisitions of businesses or
other strategic investments or uses of capital.

We also monitor Adjusted EBITDA because our subsidiaries have debt
covenants that restrict their borrowing capacity that are based on a
leverage ratio, which utilizes a modified EBITDA, as defined in our
credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes. The modified
EBITDA is consistent with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA; however, it
includes the pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of and expected cost synergies
from the companies acquired by us during the quarter for which the debt
compliance certification is due. Adjusted EBITDA results, along with the
quantitative and qualitative information, are also utilized by
management and our Compensation Committee, as an input for determining
incentive payments to employees.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our
results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under GAAP.
For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

  • does not reflect capital expenditures, or future requirements for
    capital and major maintenance expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
    capital needs;
  • does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements
    necessary to service the interest payments, on our debt; and
  • does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.

Adjusted unlevered free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool
and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for,
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, adjusted
unlevered free cash flow:

  • does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
    capital needs;
  • does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements
    necessary to service the interest payments, on our debt; and
  • does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.

Levered free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should
not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of
our results as reported under GAAP. For example, levered free cash flow:

  • does not reflect principal payments on debt;
  • does not reflect principal payments on capital lease obligations;
  • does not reflect dividend payments, if any; and
  • does not reflect the cost of acquisitions.

Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, and levered free cash flow may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other
companies because all companies do not calculate these measures in the
same fashion.

Because we have acquired numerous entities since our inception and
incurred transaction costs in connection with each acquisition, borrowed
money in order to finance our operations and acquisitions, and used
capital and intangible assets in our business, and because the payment
of income taxes is necessary if we generate taxable income after the
utilization of our net operating loss carry forwards, any measure that
excludes these items has material limitations. As a result of these
limitations, these measures should not be considered as a measure of
discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our
business or as a measure of our liquidity. See “Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a quantitative reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and for quantitative
reconciliations of adjusted unlevered free cash flow and levered free
cash flow, each to net cash provided by operating activities.

Annualized revenue and annualized Adjusted EBITDA are derived by
multiplying the total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, for the
most recent quarterly period by four. Our computations of annualized
revenue and annualized Adjusted EBITDA may not be representative of our
actual annual results.

Measures referred to as being calculated on a constant currency basis
are intended to present the relevant information assuming a constant
exchange rate between the two periods being compared. Such metrics are
calculated by applying the currency exchange rates used in the
preparation of the prior period financial results to the subsequent
period results.

Tables reconciling non-GAAP measures are included in the Reconciliation
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this earnings release and in a
supplemental earnings presentation. A glossary of terms used throughout
and the supplemental earnings presentation are available under the
investor section of the Company’s website at http://investors.zayo.com.
