On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The accounting impacts from the law change were included in our third quarter results.

Pause in Federal Financial Assistance. On January 27, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) issued a memorandum directing a pause in federal financial assistance pending review for consistency with presidential executive actions. On January 28, 2025, OMB clarified that this only applied to programs affected by certain specified executive actions, which do not appear to include FCC universal service support programs. OMB subsequently withdrew the memorandum, which has also been subject to preliminary injunction by two federal district courts. However, if this or another pause were to extend to federal universal service support programs, or to other infrastructure grants that GCI Holdings receives, and such a pause were to become extended, it could have a material adverse effect on GCI Holdings’ business and the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

GCI Holdings offers wireless and wireline telecommunication services, data services, and managed services to customers primarily throughout Alaska. Because of this geographic concentration, growth of GCI Holdings’ business and operations depends upon economic conditions in Alaska. Unfavorable economic conditions, such as a recession or economic slowdown in the U.S., or inflation in the markets in which GCI operates, could negatively affect the affordability of and demand for GCI’s products and services and its cost of doing business. In recent years, varying factors have contributed to significant volatility and disruption of financial markets and global supply chains. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Reserve began decreasing interest rates in 2024 after several years of higher rates, and while interest rates remained steady throughout most of 2025, the U.S. Federal Reserve further decreased rates in the second half of 2025. Mounting inflationary cost pressures and recessionary fears have negatively impacted the U.S. and global economy. Increased equipment costs, for example due to increased tariffs, could also impact GCI’s results.

The Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, and impairment charges. The Company’s chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate its business decisions and allocate resources. The Company believes this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its business by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of business performance or indicative of ongoing business trends.

The following table provides a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA:
