Notes:
1. Represents the revenue and direct costs from Sprint directories published prior to the SPA acquisition that
would have been recognized during the period had it not been for purchase accounting adjustments required under
GAAP and includes an adjustment for the difference in SPA's historical accounting policy with respect to expense
recognition and RHD's current policy.
2. On September 1, 2004, R.H. Donnelley completed the acquisition of SBC Communications Inc.'s directory
publishing business in Illinois and Northwest Indiana, including SBC's interest in the DonTech partnership. For
illustration purposes, we are presenting a reconciliation of the expected impact on 2004 net income to adjusted
EBITDA, reflecting a September 1, 2004 close. Additionally, we are presenting a reconciliation of pro forma net
income outlook to pro forma adjusted EBITDA outlook to show full year adjusted pro forma EBITDA as if the
transaction closed on January 1, 2004.
3. The 2004 as adjusted results assume that the estimated pro rata portion of the revenue and direct costs of SBC-
branded directories that published prior to the SBC acquisition were recognized during the period pursuant to the
deferral and amortization method. As a result of purchase accounting, these pre-SBC acquisition revenues and
expenses will not be included in our reported GAAP results.
