Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes presentations of Adjusted EBITDA and recurring cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted EBITDA and recurring cash flow are presented as additional information because management believes these measures are useful indicators of the financial performance of our core businesses. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of current financial performance used in our debt covenant calculations. Our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and recurring cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including other companies in the tower sector. The tables set forth below reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures.

Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements and information that are based on our management's current expectations. Such statements include, but are not limited to, plans, projections, Outlook and estimates regarding (i) leasing demand for our sites and towers, (ii) trends in wireless communications, including the migration to wireless communications and the demand for and resilience of wireless communications and 3G data services, and our ability to take advantage of such trends, (iii) the repayment, repurchase or refinancing of our debt, (iv) the use and impact of the proceeds of our 9% senior notes offering, (v) currency exchange rates, including the impact on our results, (vi) site rental revenues, (vii) site rental cost of operations, (viii) site rental gross margin, (ix) Adjusted EBITDA, (x) interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, (xi) capital expenditures, including expenditures on land and new towers, revenue generating expenditures and sustaining capital expenditures, (xii) recurring cash flow, including on a per share basis, (xiii) net income (loss), including on a per share basis, and (xiv) the utility of certain financial measures in analyzing our results. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to prevailing market conditions and the following:
* We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, the majority, if not all, of which we anticipate refinancing or repaying within the next three years. In the event we do not repay or refinance such indebtedness, we could face substantial liquidity issues and might be required to issue equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, or sell some of our assets to meet our debt payment obligations. * Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to react to changes in our business, and the terms of our debt instruments limit our ability to take a number of actions that our management might otherwise believe to be in our best interests. In addition, if we fail to comply with our covenants, our debt could be accelerated. * Our interest rate swaps are currently in a substantial liability position and will need to be cash settled within the next three years, which could adversely affect our financial condition. * Our business depends on the demand for wireless communications and towers, and we may be adversely affected by any slowdown in such demand. * A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of customers, and the loss, consolidation or financial instability of, or network sharing among, any of our limited number of customers may materially decrease revenues. * Consolidation among our customers may result in duplicate or overlapping parts of networks, which may result in a reduction of sites and have a negative effect on revenues and cash flows. * Sales or issuances of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. * A wireless communications industry slowdown may materially and adversely affect our business (including reducing demand for our towers and network services) and the business of our customers. * As a result of competition in our industry, including from some competitors with significantly more resources or less debt than we have, we may find it more difficult to achieve favorable rental rates on our towers. * New technologies may significantly reduce demand for our towers and negatively impact our revenues. * New wireless technologies may not deploy or be adopted by customers as rapidly or in the manner projected. * If we fail to retain rights to the land under our towers, our business may be adversely affected. * If we are unable to raise capital in the future when needed, we may not be able to fund future growth opportunities. * Our lease relating to our Spectrum has certain risk factors different from our core tower business, including that the Spectrum lease may not be renewed or continued, that the option to acquire the Spectrum may not be exercised, and that the Spectrum may not be deployed, which may result in the revenues derived from the Spectrum being less than those that may otherwise have been anticipated. * If we fail to comply with laws and regulations which regulate our business and which may change at any time, we may be fined or even lose our right to conduct some of our business. * Our network services business has historically experienced significant volatility in demand, which reduces the predictability of our results. * If radio frequency emissions from wireless handsets or equipment on our towers are demonstrated to cause negative health effects, potential future claims could adversely affect our operations, costs and revenues. * Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and operative agreements and domestic and international competition laws may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or for us to acquire control of a third party, even if such a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. * We are exposed to counterparty risk through our interest rate swaps and a counterparty default could adversely affect our financial condition. * We may be adversely affected by our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relating to our operations inAustralia .
Should one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expected. More information about potential risk factors which could affect our results is included in our filings with the SEC.
