Adjusted 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  increased to $45.2 million during the first quarter of 2004 from $24.6 million during the two months ended March 31, 2003, and $12.2 million during the one month ended January 31, 2003. Other expense items in the amount of $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2004 and $1.2 million during the two months ended March 31, 2003, and $0.5 million during the one month ended January 31, 2003, are included in the Company's Adjusted EBITDA calculations.

The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is based on recent regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") related to non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA for the Reorganized Company as net income (loss) before depreciation, amortization and accretion The act of adding portions of soil to the soil already in possession of the owner by gradual deposition through the operation of natural causes.

The growth of the value of a particular item given to a person as a specific bequest under the provisions of a will between the

 and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. For the Predecessor Company, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes gain on debt discharge To liberate or free; to terminate or extinguish. A discharge is the act or instrument by which a contract or agreement is ended. A mortgage is discharged if it has been carried out to the full extent originally contemplated or terminated prior to total execution. , reorganization The process of carrying out, through agreements and legal proceedings, a business plan for winding up the affairs of, or foreclosing a mortgage upon, the property of a corporation that has become insolvent.  items, and write-offs of investments in and loans to affiliates. The Company uses a different definition of Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal periods prior to its reorganization to enable investors to view the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis before the impact of the items discussed above on the Predecessor Company. Each of these historical items was incurred prior to, or in connection with, the Company's reorganization and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the results of the Company's core operations. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance Accordance is Bible Study Software for Macintosh developed by OakTree Software, Inc.[]

Purchases of property and equipment during the first quarter of 2004 were $6.3 million, as compared to $2.3 million for the two months ended March 31, 2003, and $2.7 million the one month ended January 31, 2003. Free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, during the first quarter of 2004 was $21.5 million as compared to free cash flow of $9.7 million during the two months ended March 31, 2003, and $3.2 million during the one month ended January 31, 2003.

Based on trailing twelve-month revenues on towers owned or operated as of March 31, 2003, and still owned or operated as of March 31, 2004, same tower revenue growth was 10.0%. The Company owned or operated 7,582 towers and in-building sites as of March 31, 2004.

Amendment to Credit Facility

On February 9, 2004, SpectraSite Communications, Inc. ("Communications"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, completed an amendment to its credit facility that reduced the interest rate on its term loan from, at Communications' option, Canadian Canadian (kənā`dēən), river, 906 mi (1,458 km) long, rising in NE New Mexico. and flowing E across N Texas and central Oklahoma into the Arkansas River in E Oklahoma.  Imperial Bank of Commerce's base rate plus 1.75% per annum Per annum

The amendment also provides that the interest rate margins will automatically be further reduced if Communications' credit ratings improve. As a result of this transaction, the Company expects to generate annual interest expense savings of approximately $1.9 million.

A sublease may be prohibited by the original lease, or require written permission from the owner.  up to 600 SBC towers between May, 2003, and August, 2004, subject to the towers meeting certain requirements. The agreement with SBC provides that the Company will lease or sublease no more than 100 towers per quarter beginning with the second quarter of 2003 and ending in the second quarter of 2004. In the event that the Company leases or subleases fewer than 100 SBC towers in any quarter, the final closing in the third quarter of 2004 may include additional SBC towers necessary to meet the 600 tower commitment. During the first quarter of 2004 the Company leased or subleased 6 SBC towers, for which it paid approximately $1.7 million in cash. As of March 31, 2004, the Company was committed to leasing or subleasing an additional 474 SBC towers during 2004.

Updated 2004 Guidance

The Company's 2004 outlook includes estimates and assumptions relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

 the Company's existing business without regard to possible additional tower acquisitions under the Company's contract with affiliates of SBC.

Without giving effect to possible SBC tower acquisitions during 2004, the Company expects 2004 site leasing and licensing revenues will be between $342 million and $348 million, representing an increase from the Company's prior guidance of $336 million to $341 million.

The Company has not changed its outlook for 2004 site operations costs excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses In accounting, accretion expense is the expense created when updating the present value(PV) of a financial instrument.

For example, if one originally recognizes the present value of a liability at $650, which has a future value (FV) of $1000, every year one must increase the
. The Company expects these costs will be between $108 million and $111 million.

The Company expects 2004 selling, general and administrative expenses will be between $48 million and $50 million representing a reduction from its prior guidance range of $48 million to $51 million.

The Company's 2004 cash interest expense is expected to be approximately $35 million to $38 million, representing a reduction from the Company's prior guidance of $37 million to $41 million.

During 2004, the Company expects to spend approximately $15 million to $20 million in capital expenditures related to tower upgrades, information technology purchases, and other general corporate requirements. The Company also expects to spend between $25 million to $30 million in discretionary capital expenditures related to its in-building initiative and the purchase of ground rights under certain towers. The Company's overall capital expenditure range of $40 million to $50 million represents an increase from its prior guidance range of $25 million to $40 million, primarily due to the allocation The apportionment or designation of an item for a specific purpose or to a particular place.

In the law of trusts, the allocation of cash dividends earned by a stock that makes up the principal of a trust for a beneficiary usually means that the dividends will be treated as

At March 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $639 million of outstanding debt and approximately $84 million of cash on hand. Based on current assumptions, the Company does not expect to require borrowings from its $200 million unused revolving credit Revolving Credit
