Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of each
such measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, together with an explanation of why management
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, is provided below.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), or AOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company defines as operating
income (loss) before acquisition expenses (including merger bonuses, payments under the Azoff Trust note and merger-
related severance), depreciation and amortization (including goodwill impairment), loss (gain) on sale of operating assets
and non-cash compensation expense. The company uses AOI to evaluate the performance of its operating segments. The
company believes that information about AOI assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating
results of the company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus
providing insights into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. AOI is not calculated or presented
in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of the use of AOI as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic
costs of certain amortizing assets used in generating revenue in the company’s business. Accordingly, AOI should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and other measures of
financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, this measure may vary among other companies;
thus, AOI as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company defines as Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) less
maintenance capital expenditures, less net cash interest expense, less cash taxes, less net distributions to minority interest
partners, plus distributions from investments in nonconsolidated affiliates net of contributions to investments in
nonconsolidated affiliates. The company uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its
operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than maintenance capital expenditures. The company
believes that information about free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to
service debt and make acquisitions. Free cash flow is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of
the use of free cash flow as a performance measure is that it does not necessarily represent funds available for operations
and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Accordingly, free cash flow should be considered in
addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating income (loss) and other measures of financial performance reported in
accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, this measure may vary among other companies; thus, free cash flow as presented
herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
