29 Appendix Non-GAAP Financial Measures Invitel Holdings A/S has included certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA (for Invitel Holdings A/S, Invitel, Invitel Telecom and Invitel International, together the ”Company”), in this presentation. Reconciliations of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA for the Company and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is included in this presentation on a pro-forma basis. The non-GAAP financial measures presented are by definition not a measure of financial performance or financial condition under generally accepted accounting principles and are not alternatives to operating income or net income/loss reflected in the statement of operations and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. These non-GAAP financial measures used by Invitel Holdings A/S may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for various purposes including: measuring and evaluating the Company’s financial and operational performance and its financial condition; making compensation decisions; planning and budgeting decisions; and financial planning purposes. Invitel Holdings A/S believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) reflects management’s view of core operations and cash flow generation and financial condition upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (ii) presents a measurement that equity and debt investors and lending banks have indicated to management is important in assessing Invitel Holdings A/S's financial performance and financial condition. While Invitel Holdings A/S utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures in managing its business and believes that they are useful to management and to investors for the reasons described above, these non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. In particular, these EBITDA measurements do not take into account changes in working capital and financial statement items below income from operations, and the resultant effect of these items on Invitel Holdings A/S's cash flow. Management compensates for the shortcomings of these measures by utilizing them in conjunction with their comparable GAAP financial measures. The information in this presentation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in Invitel Holdings A/S's documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |
