"Our robust backhaul network, diverse portfolio of rooftop locations, and strong partnerships with equipment vendors will enable us to deliver a one stop, total solution to carriers as the densification begins over the next few quarters."
“Our new 100 megabit offering continues to gain traction and customer additions, and we have targeted additional buildings for deployment over the balance of the year,” stated Joseph Hernon, Chief Financial Officer. “Our newly formed customer retention team has restored churn to our historical levels of approximately 1.7 percent which has been our average for the past 36 months.”

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company has two reportable segments. The Fixed Wireless segment provides fixed wireless broadband services to commercial customers and delivers access over a wireless network transmitting over both regulated and unregulated radio spectrum. The Shared Wireless Infrastructure segment offers a range of rental options on street level rooftops related to (i) the installation of customer owned Small Cells, (ii) Wi-Fi access and the offloading of mobile data, and (iii) backhaul, power and other related telecommunications.
The Corporate group includes corporate overhead and centralized activities which support our overall operations. Corporate overhead includes administrative personnel, including executive management, and other support functions such as information technology and facilities. Centralized operations include network operations, customer care, and the management of network assets. Corporate costs are not allocated to the segments because such costs are managed on a centralized basis. Management also believes that not allocating these centralized costs provides a better reflection of the direct operating performance of each segment.

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations to GAAP Measures
We use certain Non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company's business performance and that of our segments. These Non-GAAP measures are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Accordingly, investors are cautioned about using or relying on these measures as alternatives to recognized GAAP measures. Our methods of calculating these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
A definition of the Non-GAAP measures that we employ, and how we use them to monitor business performance, are as follows:
“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding, when applicable, stock-based compensation, deferred rent expense, other non-operating income or expenses, as well as gain or loss on (i) disposal of property and equipment, (ii) nonmonetary transactions, and (iii) business acquisitions.
“Adjusted Market EBITDA” also excludes corporate overhead expenses and other centralized costs. We believe that Adjusted Market EBITDA trends are insightful indicators of our markets’ relative performance, and whether our markets are able to produce sufficient market cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditure needs.
“ARPU” refers to the monthly average revenue per user, or customer, being generated from those customers under contract at the end of each indicated period. We calculate ARPU by dividing our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) at the end of a period by the number of customers generating that MRR.
“ARPU of new customers” is calculated in the same manner but only includes new customers who entered into contracts during the indicated period.
“Churn” and “Churn rate” refer to the percent of revenue lost on a monthly basis from customers disconnecting from our network or reducing the amount of their bandwidth.
“Corporate” includes corporate overhead and centralized activities which support our overall operations.
“EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
“Market Cash Flow” represents the amount of cash generated in a market after deducting a market’s direct operating expenses from that market’s revenues. Market Cash Flow does not include (i) centralized costs which support all markets collectively or (ii) any network related capital expenditures incurred in a market.
“Net Cash Flows” represents Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures.
"Shared Wireless Infrastructure, Net" represents the net operating results for that business segment.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP financial measures is as follows (amounts in thousands):
