Capital Expenditures
For
the first quarter of 2005, cash paid for capital expenditures
("capex") and capital leases was $27
million, compared with $32 million in the
first quarter of 2004 and $21 million in the fourth quarter
of 2004. This cash flow was driven by a net
loss from operations, 2004 annual cash bonuses that
were paid in the first
quarter, working capital changes resulting from the company's decision to
pay
certain maintenance-related obligations upfront in order to generate full-year
savings, and
repayment of capital leases.

As a result of restructuring activities initiated
in 2004, Global
Crossing's "manage for margin" revenue declined by 17 percent sequentially,
from
$264 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 to $219 million in the first
quarter of 2005. The year
-over-year increase in consolidated "invest and grow"
gross margins comprised an $18 million increase
in contribution from the rest
of the world, partially offset by a $2 million reduction from GCUK
. For the first quarter
of 2005, unusual items included $5 million in excess medical contributions
, $2
million in a legal settlement gain and a $24 million increase in the company's
real estate
restructuring reserve.

$7 million sequential decline in GCUK's gross margins in the "invest and grow"

offset by a $3 million increase to $72 million in
"invest and grow" gross margins for Global Crossing
's business in the rest of
the world.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses
for the first quarter of 2005 were $208 million,
compared with $198 million in the fourth quarter
of 2004 and $193 million for
the first quarter of 2004.
Approximately two-thirds of the company
's total capex was used for success-
based, revenue-generating opportunities in IP and managed services
, as well as
for enhancement of the company's Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network.
Specifically
, the sale of trader voice, which was completed on May 3, 2005,
yielded net proceeds of $22 million
, and the sale of the small business group,
scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2005, is expected
to generate net
proceeds of $35 million.S.newscom.

When comparing year
over year, GCUK experienced an "invest and grow" revenue decline of
$3
million, while the rest of the company's operations increased revenues by $8
million in this
revenue category. This category of revenue, which comprises Global Crossing's
wholesale voice business
, is one that management will continue to manage
closely in order to increase profitability.
The sequential and year-over-year reductions in access costs resulted
primarily from lower wholesale
voice volume, continued improvement in access
costs associated with all business categories, and
the company's strategic
shift toward a greater ratio of higher-margin IP services revenue, which
relies to a lesser extent on the services of access providers. This non-GAAP measure should be used
