Section 2 – Financial Information





Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition





On November 2, 2011, GCI, Inc.'s parent company, General Communication, Inc. (GCI), issued a press release announcing earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.





The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.





The earnings release attached as Exhibit 99.1 discloses the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, Share-based Compensation Expense, Accretion Expense and Non-cash Contribution Adjustment) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the closely related GAAP financial measure, Net Income (Loss), within the earnings release.





Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of Net Income (Loss), Interest Expense (including Amortization of Deferred Loan Fees), Interest Income, Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Depreciation and Amortization Expense, Share-based Compensation Expense, Accretion Expense and Non-cash Contribution Adjustment.  Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of net income (loss), operating income or cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  GCI's management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of its business, and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes.  GCI believes Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used as an analytical indicator of income generated to service debt and fund capital expenditures.  In addition, multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA are used to estimate current or prospective enterprise value.  Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements, and thus does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses.  Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
