Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations minus construction and capital expenditures. Free cash flow after dividends is defined as cash from operations minus construction, capital expenditures and dividends. We believe these metrics provide useful information to our investors because management regularly reviews free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated by normal business operations, including capital expenditures, and makes decisions based on it. Management also views free cash flow as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to shareowners.

*Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the benefit plan actuarial loss in order to better represent AT&T's operational performance.
 
Adjusted EBITDA excludes all actuarial losses ($10 billion loss in 2012) associated with our pension and postemployment benefit plans, which we immediately recognize in the income statement, pursuant to our accounting policy for the recognition of actuarial gains/losses. As a result, the Adjusted EBITDA reflects an expected return on plan assets of $4.3 billion (based on an average expected return on plan assets of 8.25%), rather than the actual return on plan assets of $6.3 billion (actual return of 12.1%), as included in the GAAP measure of income.
 
Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

EBITDA is defined as Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization. Annual Service EBITDA Margin is calculated as the sum of quarterly EBITDA divided by the sum of quarterly Service Revenues.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding from operating revenues and operating expenses significant items that are non-operational or non-recurring in nature. Management believes that this measure provides relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends.
 
Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
