OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA
We define OIBDA as operating income before depreciation, amortization and accretion. Adjusted OIBDA consists of OIBDA excluding certain non-cash items and other out-of-ordinary business expense and operational expansion items. OIBDA and adjusted OIBDA are both non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that adjusting out these items from OIBDA, including but not limited to purchase accounting adjustments, stock-based compensation, out-of-ordinary expenses/income, asset impairment charges and other miscellaneous charges, is useful to investors because it provides an overall understanding of our historical financial performance and future prospects. We believe that each of OIBDA and adjusted OIBDA is an indication of our base-line performance. Exclusion of these items permits evaluation and comparison of results for our core business operations, and it is on this basis that we internally assess our business' performance.
