NOTE 1:Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-operating items, and excludes network optimization costs, stock-basedcompensation and reorganization costs. We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides an enhancement to overall understanding of our past financial performance and ourprospects for the future as well as useful information to investors because of; (i) the historical use by Mpower of Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of performance;(ii) the value of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance before gains, losses or other charges considered to be outside the company's core business operating results;and (iii) the use of Adjusted EBITDA, or a similar term, by almost all companies in the CLEC sector as a measurement of performance. We exclude from our presentation ofAdjusted EBITDA, network optimization costs (which are costs resulting principally from the closure of certain of our markets), stock-based compensation expenses (whichare costs related to stock options issued with an exercise price below fair market value), gain or loss on sale of assets, and reorganization costs (which are non-recurring costs related to our bankruptcy) because we do not believe that including such costs in Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with an appropriate measure of determining Mpower'sperformance in its core business. Mpower's utilization of Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for loss from continuing operations, netloss, cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measurement and Mpower's use of it may notbe comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies in the telecommunications industry.
