decline in equipment sales, year-over-year comparisons of revenue are affected
by $2 million of equipment amortization relating to sales of equipment in prior

equipment revenue would have declined by 29.8% versus 34.3%.</font></div>

addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with

measure and management believes it is the most comparable measure to GAAP net
income. Operational EBITDA represents earnings before interest; income taxes;
depreciation and amortization; Iridium NEXT (second-generation system
development) revenue and expenses; and expenses associated with the proposed
transaction with GHL Acquisition. Additionally, Operational EBITDA does not
include the impact of purchase accounting and other transaction-related
adjustments that will be reflected in the post-transaction performance.
Operational EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered an

company uses operational EBITDA as a supplemental measure for operating
performance because, by eliminating interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, transaction expenses and Iridium NEXT revenue and expenses, the
company believes it is a useful measure across time in evaluating the company&#8217;s
performance. The company believes that operational EBITDA is also useful to
investors because like measures are frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in
similar industries. As indicated, operational EBITDA does not include interest
expense on borrowed money or depreciation expense on our capital assets or the
payment of income taxes, which are necessary elements of the company&#8217;s
operations. Because operational EBITDA does not account for these expenses, its
utility as a measure of the company&#8217;s operating performance has material
limitations. Because of these limitations, the company&#8217;s management does not
view operational EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as
net income, revenues and operating profit, to measure operating performance.
Iridium&#8217;s calculations of operational EBITDA may also differ from the
calculation of operational EBITDA or like measures by its competitors and other
companies and, as such, their utility as comparative measures is
limited.&#160;&#160;Included in this release is a reconciliation of net income
