This "smart-build" design will enable the company to quickly deliver the infrastructure requirements associated with growth in ISP business as well as open new markets for accelerated growth in sales to local businesses planned for 2001. Beyond network expansion, ICG is focused on delivering value-added services A value-added service (VAS) is a telecommunications industry term for non-core services or, in short, all services beyond standard voice calls and fax transmissions. and continues to introduce products and services that complement its existing portfolio to meet the changing and growing demands of both its ISP and business customers. The company recently completed restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics). of its management team with the addition of two experienced industry leaders to head up network services and sales and marketing. In addition, over 350 talented new employees have been hired over the past six months, including experienced marketing, sales and product development leaders. Funding raised over the last 60 days of nearly $1.2 billion will fund ICG's business plan into 2001. Completion of the 2000 business plan will position ICG for even more aggressive line growth, revenue growth and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) A metric used to show a company's profitability, but not its cash flow. EBITDA became popular in the 1980s to show the potential profitability of leveraged buyouts, but has become growth in 2001. The new employees, in combination with the company's increased funding, are key elements to ensure delivery of ICG's business plan for 2000 and beyond.

Operating Costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales and Gross Operating Margin Fourth quarter operating costs of $59.5 million resulted in full year operating costs of $238.9 million.

Encouraging; propitious: a favorable diagnosis. 3. compares to 1998 of 38 percent. The higher gross operating margin is due to increased volume on ICG's network that greatly improved network efficiency, and higher margin revenue per line/port from remote access services and special access services. Fourth quarter operating costs were lower than the third quarter primarily due to a fourth quarter 1999 in-depth management review of network costs that was conducted following the centralization cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1.

The analysis identified $9.5 million in costs from the first nine months of 1999 that related to capital activities under the existing ICG policy. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses SG&A expenses of $59.4 million for the fourth quarter are up approximately $10.0 million over the prior quarter (excluding the one-time third quarter provision for doubtful accounts of $45.2 million) as a result of costs associated with increased fourth quarter revenue and an acceleration of the company's expansion plan.
