Revenue is projected to reach $2.7 billion in 2009, up to $4.1 billion in 2013, with adjusted EBITDA expected to reach $3 million in 2009 and $1.5 billion in 2013. Free cash flow is projected to be zero in 2009, going into positive territory in 2010 at $4 million, and hitting $1.4 billion in 2013. 

The company's third-quarter numbers will be released MONDAY (11/10).
