(1) Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.2 million and $0.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $0.4 million and $0.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets and gain (loss) on debt extinguishment.
(2) Corporate expenses include $0.3 million and $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $0.4 million and $0.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(3) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, other income (loss), net interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our revolving credit facility and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, other income (loss), net interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, other income (loss), net interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.
(4) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, less non-cash interest expense relating to discount amortization on our $400 million aggregate principal amount of 8.750% senior secured first lien notes due 2017 (the "Notes"), less interest income and less the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Free cash flow per share is defined as free cash flow divided by the basic or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Commenting on the Company's earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the second quarter of 2011, we faced challenging comparisons to last year's second quarter, when we benefited from World Cup, political and census advertising revenue. Nevertheless, our audience shares remain strong, and we believe we are well positioned to benefit as the U.S. Hispanic market continues to expand and advertisers increasingly recognize the importance of reaching our target audience. The release of the 2010 U.S. census data reconfirms the growth and importance of the U.S. Hispanic population and our position in some of the fastest-growing and most densely-populated Hispanic markets. We remain focused on improving our operating performance while continuing to carefully manage our costs."

Net revenue decreased to $50.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 from $53.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $3.1 million. Of the overall decrease, $1.7 million came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2010, which is absent in 2011, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue.

Operating expenses increased to $31.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 from $31.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $0.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011 and expenses associated with Lotus/Entravision Reps LLC, partially offset by a decrease in national representation fees and other expenses associated with the decrease in net revenue.

Corporate expenses increased to $3.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 from $3.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $0.3 million. The increase was attributable to an increase in professional fees.

Of the overall decrease, $1.5 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to advertising revenue from the World Cup and census in 2010, both of which are absent in 2011. Additionally, $0.7 million of the overall decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to advertising revenue from the World Cup and political advertising revenue in 2010, both of which are not material in 2011, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue.
