Definitions and Disclosures Regarding non-GAAP Financial Information

Broadcast cash flow is calculated as income from operations plus corporate expenses, plus non-cash contract termination fees, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and broadcast rights (excluding barter), loss (gain) on asset exchange and loss (gain) on asset disposal, net, minus broadcast rights payments.

EBITDA is calculated as broadcast cash flow less corporate expenses.

Free cash flow is calculated as income from operations plus depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and broadcast rights (excluding barter), loss (gain) on asset exchange, loss (gain) on asset disposal, net, non-cash stock option expense and non-cash contract termination fees, less payments for broadcast rights, cash interest expense, capital expenditures and net cash income taxes.

Broadcast cash flow, EBITDA, free cash flow and net debt results are non-GAAP financial measures. Nexstar believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they are used by lenders to measure the Company’s ability to service debt; by industry analysts to determine the market value of stations and their operating performance; by management to identify the cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain capital assets and fund ongoing operations and working capital needs; and, because they reflect the most up-to-date operating results of the stations inclusive of pending acquisitions, TBAs or LMAs. Management believes they also provide an additional basis from which investors can establish forecasts and valuations for the Company’s business. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measurements to the GAAP financial results cited in this news announcement, please see the supplemental tables at the end of this release.
