Because of this geographic concentration, growth of GCI Holdings’ business and operations depends upon economic conditions in Alaska. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">GCI Holdings receives support from each of the various Universal Service Fund ("USF") programs: rural health care, schools and libraries, high-cost, and lifeline. The programs are subject to change by regulatory actions taken by the FCC or legislative actions, therefore, changes to the programs could result in a material decrease in revenue that the Company has recorded. Historical revenue recognized from the programs was 32%, 29% and 24% of GCI Holdings’ revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company had USF net receivables of $148 million at December 31, 2021. See note 14 for more information regarding the rural health care receivables. </p>

Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers (i) the application of the equity method of accounting for its affiliates, (ii) non-recurring fair value measurements of non-financial instruments and (iii) accounting for income taxes to be its most significant estimates. </p>
