Safe Harbor Statement

Forward-Looking Statements We have included in this presentation certain "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs as well as on a number of assumptions concerning future events made using information currently available to management. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside Alaska Communications' control. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with Alaska Communications' business, please refer to the Alaska Communications’ SEC filings, including, but not limited to, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequently, and other filings with the SEC, included under headings such as “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Non-GAAP Measures In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, in particular with regards to our liquidity and capital resources, we have disclosed certain non-GAAP financial information such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Net Debt, which management utilizes to assess performance and believes provides useful information to investors. The definition of these non- GAAP measures are contained in our quarterly earnings press releases. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute for Net Income, Net Cash Provided (Used) By Operating Activities and other measures

  • f financial performance recorded in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to our nearest GAAP measures can

be found in our earnings releases. Other companies may not calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner as Alaska Communications. We do not provide guidance for Net Income and Net Cash Provided (Used) By Operating Activities.
