(1) EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is the sum of operating profit (loss) and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues. EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. EBITDA does not reflect the funds available for investment in the business of HUGHES, dividends or other discretionary uses. EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
