ARPU(1)

(1) ARPU (Average Revenue Per Unit) is measured as the recurring portion of our wireless services revenue stream attributed to subscribing customers (plus certain activation fees) divided by the average number of subscribers for the period. We believe this metric can be a useful measure of the revenue performance of our wireless business on a per-customer basis. We use ARPU internally to assess the revenue performance of our wireless business and the impact on this business of periodic customer initiatives and product roll-outs. ARPU is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for our wireless segment revenue or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Wireless ARPU includes surcharges for the recovery of costs associated with providing number portability and wireless 911 services.

(1) EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Other companies may calculate these measures (or similarly titled measures) differently. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating our capital-intensive business because they reflect our operating performance before the impacts of non-cash items and are indicators of our ability to service debt, pay taxes and fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures. Management also uses EBITDA for a number of purposes, including setting targets for compensation and assessing the performance of our operations.

Net Debt:(1)

(1) Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as our total borrowings (current plus long-term) less our cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments. We believe net debt is helpful in analyzing our leverage, and management uses this measure in making decisions regarding potential financings. Net debt is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for “current borrowings”, “long-term borrowings” or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

Free Cash Flow from Operations:(1)

(1) Free cash flow from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that indicates cash generated by our business after operating expenses, capital expenditures and interest expense. We believe this measure provides useful information to our investors for purposes of evaluating our ability to satisfy our debt and other mandatory payment obligations and because it reflects cash flows available for financing activities, voluntary debt repayment and to strengthen our balance sheet. This is of particular relevance for our business given our significant debt balance. We also use free cash flow from operations internally for a variety of purposes, including setting targets for compensation and budgeting our cash needs. Free cash flow from operations is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for “operating income” or “net cash flow from operating activities” or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

ARPU is calculated as follows:(1)

(1)ARPU (Average Revenue Per Unit) is measured as the recurring portion of our wireless services revenue stream attributed to subscribing customers (plus certain activation fees) divided by the average number of subscribers for the period. We believe this metric can be a useful measure of the revenue performance of our wireless business on a per-customer basis. We use ARPU internally to assess the revenue performance of our wireless business and the impact on this business of periodic customer initiatives and product roll-outs. ARPU is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for our wireless segment revenue or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Wireless ARPU includes surcharges for the recovery of costs associated with providing number portability and wireless 911 services.
