Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Triton PCS Holdings, Inc. will issue a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, and a copy of this press release is being furnished as an exhibit to this report. The press release contains disclosure of Adjusted EBIDTA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, average revenue per user (ARPU), ARPU less subscriber retention credits inclusive of roaming revenue, cash costs per user (CCPU) and cost per gross addition (CPGA), each of which is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Schedule 1 to the press release contains tabular reconciliations of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for each of these non-GAAP financial measures. Disclosure regarding management’s uses for such non-GAAP financial measures also appears on Schedule 1.

The press release also includes guidance with respect to Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2003. However, as stated in Schedule 1, management is unable to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to cash provided by operating activities on a forward-looking basis because it is impractical to project depreciation expense and changes in operating assets and liabilities, due to the uncertain timing for capital expenditures and other transactions that impact these items.

The information required to be furnished pursuant to Item 12 and Exhibit 99.1 of this report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, except if Triton specifically incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
