The measure isolates unusual, infrequent or non-cash transactions from the operating performance of the business. This allows users to easily compare operating performance among various fiscal periods and understand how management measures the performance of the business. This measure also provides users with a benchmark that can be used when forecasting future operating performance of the Company that excludes unusual, nonrecurring or one time transactions. Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of the calculation used by stockholders and analysts to determine the value of our business when using the market approach, which applies a market multiple to financial metrics. It is also a measure used to calculate the leverage ratio of the Company, which is a key financial ratio monitored and used by the Company and its investors. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus nonoperating expenses, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, loss (gain) on sale of assets, impairment charges, workforce adjustment costs, stock compensation and our 50% share of EBITDA from TNI and MNI, minus equity in earnings of TNI and MNI and curtailment gains.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Adjusted Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share are non-GAAP financial performance measures that we believe offer a useful metric to evaluate overall performance of the Company by providing financial statement users the operating performance of the Company on a per share basis excluding unusual and infrequent transactions. It is defined as income (loss) attributable to Lee Enterprises, Incorporated and earnings (loss) per common share adjusted to exclude both unusual matters and those of a substantially non-recurring nature. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Cash Costs is a non-GAAP financial performance measure of operating expenses that are settled in cash and is useful to investors in understanding the components of the Company&#8217;s cash operating costs. Generally, the Company provides forward looking guidance of Cash Costs, which can be used by financial statement users to assess the Company's ability to manage and control its operating cost structure. Cash Costs is defined as compensation, newsprint and ink, other operating expenses and certain unusual matters, such as workforce adjustment costs. Depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, other non-cash operating expenses and other unusual matters are excluded. Cash Costs are also presented excluding workforce adjustments, which are paid in cash.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP liquidity measures that provide a useful view into the Company&#8217;s cash flow generation capabilities. Financial statement users can use these measures to understand the cash flow generated by the Company and that is available to service outstanding debt or return to stockholders. These measures can also used by stockholders, analysts and lenders to determine the valuation of the Company. Unlevered Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted to exclude changes in operating assets and liabilities and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities plus income tax expense, interest expense, distributions greater than TNI earnings and cash income tax refunds, minus capital expenditures and cash income tax payments. Free Cash Flow is calculated by adding financial income and deducting interest expense settled in cash and debt financing and administrative costs paid from unlevered free cash flow.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Tables reconciling Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) and Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow to Net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable measures under GAAP, are set forth in Item 2, included herein, under the caption "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Reconciliations of adjusted income (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per common share to income (loss) attributable to Lee Enterprises, Incorporated and earnings (loss) per common share, respectively, the most directly comparable measures under GAAP, are set forth in Item 2, included herein, under the caption &#8220;Overall Results&#8221;.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the related consolidated GAAP measures, and should be read together with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="sc70c0de134f44611b77df89fac385c26"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Comment 4:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;">Reference is made to Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow. From page 13, it appears unlevered free cash flow represents a non-GAAP liquidity measure. In this regard, please tell us why operating income is considered the most directly comparable financial measure for reconciliation purposes. Additionally, please be advised that Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-K prohibits "excluding charges or liabilities that required, or will require, cash settlement, or would have required cash settlement absent an ability to settle in another manner, from non-GAAP liquidity measures.&#8221; It appears from your reconciliation on page 39 that certain amounts requiring cash settlement have been included in the measures. Please advise or revise your disclosures and reconciliations accordingly. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Response:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">As discussed in our response to comment 3, we consider unlevered free cash flow and free cash flow to be non-GAAP liquidity measures.

accounting policy. You disclose that during fiscal 2015 you performed additional quantitative analysis regarding the carrying value of your goodwill and concluded the implied fair value of goodwill was in excess of its carrying value; thus, no impairment was recorded. Please tell us whether you were at risk of failing step one of the impairment test. If so, please consider disclosing the percentage by which fair value exceeded carrying value as of the most recent test.

As noted in the Company&#8217;s Form 10-K for the year ended September 27, 2015, Lee has one reporting unit. As of June 28, 2015, Lee reported a stockholders&#8217; deficit of $163.3 million and as such had a negative carrying value for its single reporting unit. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-8A, due to certain qualitative factors and the negative carry value, the Company did not perform the Step 1 exercise and proceeded to the Step 2 analysis. The result of the Step 2 analysis was that implied goodwill was more than double its carrying amount and as a result there was no impairment. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">As you note in your comment, our current disclosure provides a summary of the methods we use to calculate fair value under the income and market approaches.  Due to the fact the implied fair value is significantly in excess of carrying value we did not deem it necessary to provide any sensitivity analysis in our disclosure. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">In our future 10-K filings, we will include an expanded description of the impairment testing performed in the &#8220;Critical Accounting Policies&#8221; section of &#8220;Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.&#8221; This disclosure will include a comment about some of the estimation uncertainties and will include a description of the valuation methods used to determine fair value of the reporting unit and the material assumptions used in each valuation method, and disclose that the fair value of goodwill was substantially in excess of the carrying value.  A draft of the expected disclosure is as follows:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">&#8220;Should we determine that a goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we make a determination of the fair value of our business. Fair value is determined using a combination of an income approach and a market approach. In 2015, the implied fair value of goodwill was substantially in excess of the carrying value.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Under the income approach, fair value is determined by estimating future cash flows discounted to their present value. The market approach estimates fair value using market multiples of various financial measures compared to a set of comparable public companies in the publishing industry. Determining the fair value is judgmental in nature and involves significant estimates and assumptions including estimates of future revenue, cash costs, operating margins, discount rates, valuation multiples of entities engaged in the same or similar lines of business and future economic and market conditions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">There are significant inherent uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating fair value. An extension or deepening of the industry downturn could have a negative impact on the cash flow analysis. While we believe we have used reasonable estimates and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit, it is possible that material changes could occur due to factors impacting our industry. If actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions, such as future revenue, operating margins, EBITDA, growth rates and discount rates, we may be required to reassess our goodwill for impairment in the future.&#8220; </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Selected Consolidated Financial Information, page 39 </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Comment 6: </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;">Please revise the titles of the tables &#8220;Selected Consolidated Financial Information&#8221; starting on page 39.
