 per share basis, EBDDT for the year was $1.18 per share, a 26% increase over $0.94 per share in 1998. Net income was $70.2 million, or $0.64 per share on a diluted basis, before extraordinary gains of $26.7 million or $0.25 per share.

NOTE: We use a supplemental performance measure, earnings before
depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDDT), along with net income to
report our operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating
results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should
not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity. However, we believe that EBDDT provides relevant
information about our operations and is useful, along with net income,
for an understanding of our operating results.

EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income.
Depreciation expense, amortization and deferred income taxes are
excluded from EBDDT as they represent non-cash charges. Since
depreciation expense is excluded from EBDDT, the portion of property
sales gain attributable to depreciation recapture is excluded from
EBDDT. In addition, gains on the sale of non-strategic assets and
extraordinary items, including their current tax effect, represent
unusual and/or non-recurring items and are excluded from the EBDDT
calculation.
