| Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Forward-Looking Measures 18 EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Presentation of EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the entertainment industry and by financial analysts and others who follow the industry to measure operating performance. The Company’s management believes EBITDA to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance which provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations. While the Company’s management considers EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income and cash flow from operating activities and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the forward looking projected EBITDA to net income for the three years from April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2015. ($000s) Three Years Ended March 31, 2015 EBITDA $900,000 Depreciation and Amortization (21,100) Contractual Cash Interest Expense * Noncash Interest Expense * Interest and Other Income 4,500 Income Tax Provision ** Net Income *** |
| Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Forward-Looking Measures (cont.) 19 * Due to possible strategic alternatives available to the Company, the variability of the extent of the use of the Company’s cash flows to reduce its debt balances, and possible conversion of certain of its debt instruments, the Company’s debt balances may vary widely. In addition, some of the Company’s interest rates are variable. Accordingly, even though these amounts are currently anticipated to be significant, these interest amounts cannot be estimated without unreasonable effort. The Company’s interest expense for its year ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $78 million ($62.4 million was cash based interest and $15.7 million was amortization of debt discount (premium) and deferred financing costs) and with the addition of the Summit Entertainment term loan entered into in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, these amounts may increase in the Company’s fiscal year 2013 and then decrease as the Company pays off the term loan and other debt with excess cash flows. ** Due to the inherent difficulties in forecasting the timing of tax deductions and the use of the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards in various jurisdictions, as well as the inability to forecast its interest charges, these amounts cannot be estimated without unreasonable effort. However, the Company does believe it will begin to pay taxes in fiscal 2014 and 2015 after the use of its NOL’s. *** Due to the amounts above which are not estimated, a net income estimate is not presented. Safe Harbor Statement The preceding forward-looking projection of EBITDA over the three years ended March 31, 2015 represents forward-looking statements and projections based on expectations, assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable given its assessment of historical trends and other information reasonably available as of May 31, 2012. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as “expect” and “anticipate”. The amounts consists of projections only, and are subject to a wide range of known and unknown business risks and uncertainties, including those described in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings referred to below, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements such as those contained above should not be regarded as representations by the Company that the projected results will be achieved. Projections and estimates are necessarily speculative in nature and actual results may vary materially from the outlook the Company provides today. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, including the forecasts set forth herein, except as required by law. The forecast set forth above should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012 including the risks identified under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the Company’s other SEC filings. |
