NonGAAP Measures:
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results as determined by GAAP, the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP information which management utilizes to assess recurring performance and believes provides useful information to investors regarding baseline operating results.
Free cash flow ("FCF") is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less capital expenditures that create an obligation to pay (“incurred capital expenditures”), plus milestone billings for a fiber build project for a carrier customer, less amortization of capacity revenue (which is a non cash revenue item), less cash interest expense. Note that incurred capital spending includes the costs associated with a two year fiber build project with a strategic customer however we are adding back the cash we receive from the customer for the funding of that project to FCF. Accordingly, our capital spending will be elevated because of this project, but the project will be accretive to FCF. |
