Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The following information is furnished pursuant to Regulation FD: On October 2, 2012, Shenandoah Telecommunications Company hosted a meeting for regional investment professionals. The materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 were presented at the meeting. The presentation is also available on the Company’s website.
The presentation may contain forward-looking statements about Shenandoah Telecommunications regarding, among other things, our business strategy, our prospects and our financial position. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” or “anticipates” or the negative or other variation of these or similar words, or by discussions of strategy or risks and uncertainties. Shenandoah Telecommunications undertakes no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
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 Shenandoah Telecommunications believes they provide relevant and useful information to investors. Shenandoah Telecommunications 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. Shenandoah Telecommunications also uses these financial performance measures to evaluate the performance of its businesses and for budget planning purposes.
