Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 1, 2011, SBA Communications Corporation issued a press release announcing its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, providing its third quarter 2011 guidance and updating its full year 2011 guidance. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including (i) Site Leasing Segment Operating Profit, Site Development Segment Operating Profit and Segment Operating Profit Margin, (ii) Tower Cash Flow and Tower Cash Flow Margin, (iii) Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (iv) Net Debt, Net Secured Debt, Leverage Ratio and Secured Leverage Ratio (collectively, our “Non-GAAP Debt Measures”) and (v) Equity Free Cash Flow and Equity Free Cash Flow Per Share.

We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they provide investors additional tools in understanding our financial performance and condition. Specifically, we believe that:

 

  (1) Segment Operating Profit is an indicator of the operating performance of our site leasing and site development segments;

 

  (2) Tower Cash Flow is an indicator of the performance of our site leasing operations;

 

  (3) Adjusted EBITDA, Equity Free Cash Flow and Equity Free Cash Flow Per Share are useful indicators of the financial performance of our core businesses; and

 

  (4) our Non-GAAP Debt Measures provide investors a more complete understanding of our net debt and leverage position as they include the full principal amount of our debt which will be due at maturity.

In addition, Tower Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA and our Non-GAAP Debt Measures are components of the calculations used by our lenders to determine compliance with certain covenants under our senior credit agreement and senior notes. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be an alternative to any of the financial measures provided in our results of operations or our balance sheet as determined in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the press release.
