(A) Core consolidated revenue, core consolidated EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures and have no standardized measurement prescribed by GAAP. Core consolidated revenue is the sum of the revenue of ICG's three core consolidated companies. Core consolidated EBITDA is the sum of the earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and unusual items of ICG's three core consolidated companies. ICG's management considers charges unusual when they are transactional-driven or non-recurring. Adjusted operating income (loss) is consolidated operating income (loss), adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment related and other amounts of ICG and its three core consolidated companies. ICG's management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others that enables each such group to evaluate core consolidated companies' current and future prospects in a similar manner as ICG's management and to review results on a comparable basis for all periods presented.
