EX-99.1 - PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY GRAY TELEVISION - GRAY TELEVISION INCd306382dex991.htm

Exhibit 99.2

From time to time, Gray Television, Inc. (the “Company”) supplements its financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) by disclosing certain non-GAAP financial measures, including operating cash flow (as defined in the Company’s credit facility (“operating cash flow”) and free cash flow. Management believes that operating cash flow and free cash flow are useful to investors and other users of the Company’s financial information because management regularly reviews operating cash flow and free cash flow as important indicators of how much cash is generated by normal business operations. Operating cash flow is defined as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization (including amortization of program broadcast rights), impairment of goodwill and broadcast licenses, loss on disposal of assets, loss on early extinguishment of debt, income tax expense, miscellaneous expense, interest expense, expense of common stock contributed to the Company’s 401(k) plan network expense per network affiliation agreement, pension expense and other, less gain on disposal of assets, payment for program broadcast rights, network compensation revenue, network compensation per network affiliation agreement, contributions to pension plans, miscellaneous income, income tax benefit and other. Interest expense, payment of federal and state income taxes and purchases of property and equipment are deducted and amortization of deferred loan costs, the discount on the Company’s 10 1/2% senior secured second lien notes due 2015 (the “Notes”), proceeds from asset sales and the receipt of federal and state income tax refunds are added to operating cash flow to calculate free cash flow.

These non-GAAP terms are not defined in GAAP and the Company’s definitions may differ from, and therefore not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting their usefulness. Such terms are used by management in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should be considered as supplements to, and not as substitutes for, net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP.
