Meredith Holdings Corporation
Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables show results of operations as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and segment adjusted EBITDA. Segment adjusted EBITDA and special items are non-GAAP measures. Management uses and presents GAAP and non-GAAP results to evaluate and communicate its performance. While non-GAAP measures should not be construed as alternatives to GAAP measures, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful as an aid to further understand Meredith Holdings Corporation's current performance, performance trends, and financial condition.
Segment adjusted EBITDA is a measure of segment operating profit and non-operating income, net before depreciation, amortization, and special items. These special items have been removed as they have been deemed to be non-operational in nature. Management does not use adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity or funds available for management's discretionary use because it excludes certain contractual and nondiscretionary expenditures.
