Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 12, 2017, in connection with a lender presentation to private lenders and potential lenders, Mediacom LLC provided preliminary estimates for the three months ended December 31, 2016, and such estimates are provided below. Investors are cautioned that Mediacom LLC has not yet completed its financial closing procedures for the year ended December 31, 2016, and these estimates have not been audited or verified by Mediacom LLC’s independent auditors. Accordingly, such preliminary financial and operating data may change, and those changes may be material. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these estimates.

Mediacom LLC estimates that as of, and for the three months ended December 31, 2016:

 

  - Revenues were between $197.0 - $198.0 million

 

  - Operating income was between $41.5 - $44.0 million

 

  - Adjusted system cash flow (“ASCF”) was between $84.5 - $85.5 million

 

  - Ending senior secured debt under Mediacom LLC’s existing bank credit facility of $897.0 million

 

  - Ending video customers of 365,000

 

  - Ending high-speed data customers of 513,000

 

  - Ending phone customers of 215,000

ASCF is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Mediacom LLC defines ASCF as operating income before depreciation and amortization and management fees, plus investment income from affiliate. Mediacom LLC believes that ASCF is useful for investors because it enables them to assess our performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management, and provide measures that can be used to analyze its value and evaluate its performance compared to other companies in the cable industry. For a reconciliation of ASCF to operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2016, see below (dollars in millions).
