Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not determined in
accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.These financial performance measures
are not indicative of cash provided or used by operating activities and exclude the effects of certain
operating, capital and financing costs and may differ from comparable information provided by other
companies, and they should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or more meaningful
than measures of financial performance determined in accordance with US generally accepted
accounting principles.These financial performance measures are commonly used in the industry and
are presented because Shentel believes they provide relevant and useful information to investors.
Shentel utilizes these financial performance measures to assess its ability to meet future capital
expenditure and working capital requirements, to incur indebtedness if necessary, return investment
to shareholders and to fund continued growth.Shentel also uses these financial performance
measures to evaluate the performance of its businesses and for budget planning purposes.
