EBITDA refers to profit before finance costs, interests income, dividend income, deficit on revaluation of fixed assets, income tax, depreciation and amortization, share of profit of associated companies. To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the Hong Kong GAAP, we use the non-Hong Kong GAAP measure of EBITDA, which is adjusted from our results based on Hong Kong GAAP. We believes that EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors to further analyze our operating results since we, as a company operating in the capital intensive telecommunication industry, incurred significant capital expenditure and finance costs which have significant impact to our results based on Hong Kong GAAP. EBITDA should only be considered in addition to our Hong Kong GAAP results. It should not be considered a substitute for or superior to our Hong Kong GAAP results as it cannot be used to measure operation results and liquidity and does not represent operation cash flows. In addition, our EBITDA may not be comparable to similar indicators of other companies. |
