RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION TO NET (LOSS) INCOME
The Company uses the key indicator of adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”) primarily to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. OIBDA, which is commonly used as a measure of performance for broadcast companies, is used by investors to measure a company’s ability to service debt and other cash needs, and provides investors the opportunity to evaluate the Company’s performance as it is viewed by management. This indicator is presented on an adjusted basis consistent with the definition in our Bank Credit Agreement to exclude certain expenses as defined on pages 7 through 9.
OIBDA is not, and should not be used as, an indicator of or alternative to operating income or net (loss) income as reflected in the consolidated financial statements. It is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since the definition of OIBDA may vary among companies and industries it should not be used as a measure of performance among companies.
The tables below set forth a reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income for each segment and consolidated net income (loss), which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
