USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The amount of Operating Income before Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion and the As Adjusted amounts reported in the table of Financial Highlights on the inside front cover and in the above table of Supplemental Shareholder Information are non-GAAP financial measures under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The reason for such information is to show the impact of amounts that have had a significant effect on measures determined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). TDS does not intend to imply that any of the amounts that are included or excluded are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual or that they are not reasonably likely to recur. The non-GAAP measures are used by management to assess the operating performance of TDS. TDS believes that such non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding its results of operations in that they provide additional details regarding TDS’s operating performance and facilitate comparison from period to period or with other companies. Nevertheless, such measures may not be consistent with similarly captioned measures reported by other companies, and such measures should not be construed as alternatives to measures of performance determined under GAAP.
