All historical financial results presented herein for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 have been restated to reflect the Company’s change in its method of accounting for ground lease expense as detailed in our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2004. Additionally, as previously announced in the first half of 2004, the Company adopted a plan to sell all of its services business in the western United States and completed the sale of all portions of its western services business in 2004. The results of the Company’s western services segment are reflected as discontinued operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004. Other than the net loss information presented below, all other financial information contained in the text of this press release is from the Company’s continuing operations.
Operating Results
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2005 were $63.2 million, compared to $56.3 million in the year earlier period, an increase of 12.2%. Site leasing revenue of $38.9 million and site leasing segment operating profit of $27.2 million were up 9.8% and 16.3%, respectively, over the year earlier period. Site leasing revenue in the year earlier period of $35.5 million included $.6 million of non-recurring items. Cost of site leasing revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was reduced by approximately $.4 million of non-recurring benefits. Site leasing contributed 95.4% of the Company’s total segment operating profit in the second quarter of 2005. Same tower revenue and site leasing segment operating profit growth on the 3,045 towers owned at June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 were 9% and 15%, respectively.
Tower Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $28.4 million, a 15.2% increase over the year earlier period. Tower Cash Flow margin for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 73.3%, a 340 basis point improvement over the year earlier period. SBA defines Tower Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the non-cash impact from straight-line calculations used to determine leasing revenue and ground rent expense. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP terms to reported GAAP financial results are provided below.
Site development revenues were $24.3 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $20.9 million in the year earlier period, a 16.4% increase. Site development segment operating profit margin was 5.5% in the second quarter of 2005, compared to 8.1% in the year earlier period.

Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2005 was $26.4 million or $(.38) per share, compared to $26.2 million or $(.46) per share in the year earlier period. Net loss in the second quarter of 2005 was $26.3 million, or $(.38) per share, compared to a net loss of $26.6 million, or $(.47) per share, in the year earlier period. Excluding $8.2 million relating to the write-off of deferred financing fees and extinguishment of debt charges, second quarter 2005 loss from continuing operations was $18.2 million or $(.26) per share. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.7 million, compared to $19.3 million in the year earlier period, or a 17.3% increase. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.0% in the second quarter of 2005.
Net cash interest expense and non-cash interest expense was $9.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2005, compared to $11.7 million and $6.8 million in the year earlier period.
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.8 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Equity free cash flow (defined below) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $(6.3) million compared to $4.8 million in the year earlier period.
“We are very pleased with our second quarter results,” said Jeffrey A. Stoops, SBA’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our customers were very busy in the quarter, and we experienced the strongest operational lease-up we have had since the first quarter of 2002. We ended the quarter with solid backlog in both our leasing and services segments, and we believe that customer activity and backlogs will remain solid into 2006. We also performed well on the expense side of our leasing business and added towers to our portfolio. As a result, we have increased the mid-point of our full year outlook for 2005 in a number of areas, including site leasing revenue, tower cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA. We materially improved our balance sheet in the quarter through our issuance of eight million shares of common stock and the redemption of a portion of our 9.75% senior discount notes. We continue to be focused on refinancing our senior credit facility by the end of 2005. Our focus for the refinancing is in the mortgage-backed securities market, and we will continue to monitor opportunities in other markets as appropriate. We remain very optimistic about our prospects for a solid operational second half of 2005 and a stronger financial position as we enter 2006.”
Investing Activities
During the second quarter of 2005, SBA purchased 23 towers, built two towers and sold or otherwise disposed of five towers, all of which were previously held for sale. As a result of these activities, as of June 30, 2005 SBA owned 3,138 towers in continuing operations. Total cash capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2005 were $9.9 million, consisting of $0.7 million of non-discretionary cash capital expenditures (tower maintenance and general corporate) and $9.2 million of discretionary cash capital expenditures (new tower builds, tower augmentations, tower acquisitions and related earn-outs, and ground lease purchases). The 23 towers were purchased for an aggregate amount of $7.8 million, with the consideration consisting of $4.3 million in cash and 0.3 million shares of SBA common stock.
Since June 30, 2005, SBA has built five additional towers and purchased 19 additional towers. The 19 towers were purchased for an aggregate amount of $11.1 million, with the consideration consisting of $10.5 million in cash and approximately 40 thousand shares of SBA common stock. The Company has agreed to purchase an additional 31 towers for an aggregate amount of $10.2 million, which the Company expects to fund from approximately $.3 million of its cash and the remainder from the issuance of SBA common stock. The Company anticipates that these acquisitions will be consummated by the end of the fourth quarter of 2005.
Financing Activities and Liquidity
SBA ended the second quarter with $331.8 million outstanding under its $400.0 million senior credit facility, $248.3 million of 9¾% senior discount notes, $250.0 million of 8½% senior notes, and net debt of $806.9 million. In the second quarter, SBA issued 8 million shares of common stock in exchange for gross proceeds of $77.1 million. The Company used the net proceeds of $75.6 million to redeem $68.9 million ($87.0 million face amount) of its 9¾% senior discount notes. The Company’s net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio was 8.9x at June 30, 2005. Liquidity at June 30, 2005 was approximately $77.0 million, consisting of $23.2 million of cash and restricted cash, and approximately $53.8 million of additional availability under the senior credit facility.

Information on non-GAAP financial measures is presented below under “Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.” This press release will be available on our website atwww.sbasite.com.
For additional information about SBA, please contact Pam Kline, Vice-President-Capital Markets, at (561) 995-7670, or visit our website atwww.sbasite.com.
SBA is a leading independent owner and operator of wireless communications infrastructure in the United States. SBA generates revenue from two primary businesses – site leasing and site development services. The primary focus of the Company is the leasing of antenna space on its multi-tenant towers to a variety of wireless service providers under long-term lease contracts. Since it was founded in 1989, SBA has participated in the development of over 25,000 antenna sites in the United States.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, including our 2005 Outlook, includes disclosures regarding Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net Debt and Leverage ratio, each of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as loss from continuing operations plus net interest expenses, taxes, depreciation, accretion and amortization, asset impairment charges, non-cash compensation, restructuring and other charges, and other expenses and excluding non-cash leasing revenue and non-cash ground lease expense. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe these items are indicators of the profitability and performance of our core operations and reflect the changes in our operating results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a component of the calculation used by our lenders to determine compliance with some of our debt instruments, particularly our senior credit facility. Neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA margin are intended to be alternative measures of operating income or gross profit margin as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Non-GAAP measurements of Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted EBITDA margin have certain material limitations, including:
* They do not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits and cash flows. Therefore any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations;
* They do not include depreciation and amortization expense. Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits. Therefore any measure that excludes depreciation and amortization expense has material limitations;
* They do not include taxes. Because the payment of taxes is a necessary element of our costs, particularly in the future, any measure that excludes tax expense has material limitations; and
* They do not include non-cash expenses such as asset impairment charges, non-cash compensation, restructuring and other charges, other expenses, non-cash leasing revenue and non-cash ground lease expense. Because these non-cash expenses are a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate profits, any measure that excludes these non-cash expenses has material limitations.
We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin as only two of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our profitability and operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are calculated below:

| (3) | Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the sum of total revenues minus non-cash leasing revenue. |
The Non-GAAP measurements of Net Debt and Leverage ratio (which is defined as our Net Debt divided by our Annualized Adjusted EBITDA) have certain material limitations. Specifically these measurements net cash out of our debt position. Because we may not be able to use our cash to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis, this measure may have material limitations. In addition since a component of our Leverage ratio is Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, this measure is subject to the same material limitations associated with Adjusted EBITDA discussed above. We compensate for these limitations by using Net Debt and our Leverage ratio as only two of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our financial condition.

Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin
This press release includes disclosures regarding our Site Leasing Segment Operating Profit and Site Development Segment Operating Profit, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Each respective Segment Operating Profit is defined as segment revenues less segment cost of revenues (excluding depreciation, accretion and amortization) and Segment Operating Profit Margin is defined as Segment Operating Profit divided by Segment revenues. Total Segment Operating Profit is the total of the operating profits of the two segments. Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin are, in our opinion, an indicator of the operating performance of our site leasing and site development segments and are used to provide management with the ability to monitor the operating results and margin of each segment, while excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization. Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin are not intended to be alternative measures of revenue or operating income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Non-GAAP measurements of Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin have certain material limitations. Specifically these measurements do not include depreciation expense. Because depreciation expense is required by GAAP as it is deemed to reflect additional operating expenses relating to our site leasing and site development segments, any measure that excludes these items has material limitations. We compensate for these limitations by using Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin as only two of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of the cash generation of our segment operations.

Tower Cash Flow and Tower Cash Flow Margin
This press release, including our 2005 Outlook includes disclosures regarding Tower Cash Flow and Tower Cash Flow margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Tower Cash Flow is defined as site leasing segment operating profit excluding non-cash leasing revenue and non-cash ground lease expense and Tower Cash Flow margin is defined as Tower Cash Flow divided by the sum of site leasing revenue minus non-cash site leasing revenue. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe these items are indicators of the profitability of our site leasing operations. In addition, Tower Cash Flow is a component of the calculation used by our lenders to determine compliance with some of our debt instruments, particularly our senior credit facility. Neither Tower Cash Flow nor Tower Cash Flow margin are intended to be alternative measures of site leasing gross profit nor of site leasing gross profit margin as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Non-GAAP measurements of Tower Cash Flow and Tower Cash Flow margin have certain material limitations. Specifically these measurements do not include non-cash leasing revenue and non-cash ground lease expense. Because these non-cash leasing revenue and non-cash ground lease expenses are required by GAAP as they are deemed to reflect the straight-line impact of our site leasing operations, any measure that excludes these non-cash items has material limitations. We compensate for these limitations by using Tower Cash Flow and Tower Cash Flow margin as only two of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of the cash generation of our site leasing operations.

| (2) | Tower Cash Flow Margin for a particular quarterly period is Tower Cash Flow divided by the sum of site leasing revenues minus non-cash leasing revenue for such period. |
Equity Free Cash Flow
This press release, including our 2005 Outlook, also includes disclosures regarding Equity Free Cash Flow which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Equity Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities minus non-cash interest expense minus non-discretionary cash capital expenditures. Equity Free Cash Flow is in our opinion an indicator of the amount of cash produced by our business (after treating our 9.75% senior discount notes as bearing current cash interest) and thus reflects the amount that may be available for reinvestment in the business through discretionary capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness or return to shareholders. Equity Free Cash Flow is not intended to be an alternative measure of cash flow from operations or operating income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The use of Equity Free Cash Flow has certain material limitations. Specifically this measurement does not include discretionary capital expenditures. Because the determination of which capital expenditures are discretionary is subject to various interpretations and because these types of capital expenditures are an integral part of our plans for growth, any measure that excludes these items has material limitations. We compensate for this limitation by using Equity Free Cash Flow as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our cash flow.
Equity Free Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is calculated below:
