EXHIBIT 99.1

Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (Pre-SAC) are non-GAAP measures that we believe are useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business and to provide additional information to investors about certain non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items that are not core to our operations. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (Pre-SAC) provide a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of subscriber system assets and other fixed assets and amortization of dealer and other intangible assets, (iv) amortization of deferred costs and deferred revenue associated with subscriber acquisitions, (vi) merger, restructuring, integration, and other, (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (viii) radio conversion costs, (ix) financing and consent fees, (x) foreign currency gains/losses, (xi) acquisition related adjustments, and (xii) other charges and non-cash items. We define Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (Pre-SAC) as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for costs in our statement of operations associated with the acquisition of customers, net of revenue associated with the sale of equipment (expensed net SAC).
There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (Pre-SAC). Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA do not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest, taxes, and other adjustments, including subscriber acquisition costs, which directly affect our net income or loss. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently and by considering Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (Pre-SAC) in conjunction with net income or loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The table below reconciles net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA (Pre-SAC) for the periods presented.
