Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains information about adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). This is a non-GAAP financial measure used

comparisons of current results of operations with past and future periods. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.
A detailed reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (including the Company’s definition of these
terms) to comparable GAAP financial measures have been included in the tables appearing in
the Appendix to this presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains information about adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA).  This is a
non-GAAP financial measure used by Cincinnati Bell management when
evaluating results of operations.  Management believes this measure also
provides users of the financial statements with additional and useful
comparisons of current results of operations with past and future periods.  A
non-GAAP financial measure should not be construed as being more
important
than
a
comparable
GAAP
measure.
The
following
slide
reconciles
this non-GAAP measure to a comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA
provides a useful measure of operational performance.
The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP operating income plus
depreciation, amortization, restructuring charges, asset impairments, and
other special items.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative
to
comparable
GAAP
measures
of
profitability
and
may
not
be
comparable with the measure as defined by other companies.
