2Forward-looking Statements
- This presentation includes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. All statements included
herein, other than statements of historical fact,
may constitute forward-looking statements.
Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the
Company's expectations are disclosed in the risk
factors contained in the Company's 2003 Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 16, 2004. All
forward-looking statements are expressly
qualified in their entirety by such factors. - This presentation contains references to
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization expense,
loss on debt extinguishment, merger and
restructuring expenses and amortization of
deferred stock compensation, gain on disposal and
impairment of operating assets, minority interest
in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries and
other, net) was approximately 553.4 million, or
21.9 of total revenues, for the four quarters
ended July 1, 2004. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Free Cash Flow provide useful measures
of cash flows from operations for our investors
because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash
Flow are industry comparative measures of cash
flows generated by our operations and because
they are financial measures used by management to
assess the performance and liquidity of our
Company. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash
Flow are not measurements of financial
performance or liquidity under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and should not be considered in
isolation or construed as a substitutes for net
income or other operations data or cash flow data
prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of
America for purposes of analyzing our
profitability or liquidity. In addition, not all
funds depicted by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
Free Cash Flow are available for management's
discretionary use. For example, a portion of
such funds are subject to contractual
restrictions and functional requirements to pay
debt service, fund necessary capital expenditures
and meet other commitments from time to time as
described in more detail in the Companys 2003
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16,
2004. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash
Flow, as calculated, may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. Regal Entertainment Group has
provided a reconciliation of net cash provided by
operating activities and operating income to
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on its Web site at
www.REGmovies.com. All forward-looking
statements are expressly qualified in their
entirety by such factors.
