Fourth Quarter Full Year 2006 2006 ($ in millions) Revenue range $325 - 335 $1,255 - 1,265 Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization range (1) $125 - 130 $471 - 476 Capital expenditures range $65 - 75 $280 - 290 Change in Revenue Generating Units(2) +70,000 +318,000 Change in basic customers(3) +4,000 +41,000 (4) _____________________________
(1) We utilize Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of our businesses. Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization is considered an important indicator of the operational strength of our businesses and is a component of our annual compensation programs. In addition, our debt agreements use Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, adjusted for certain non-recurring items, in our leverage and other covenant calculations. We also use this measure to determine how we will allocate resources and capital. Our management finds this measure helpful because it captures all of the revenue and ongoing operating expenses of our businesses and therefore provides a means to directly evaluate the ability of our business operations to generate returns and to compare operating capabilities across our businesses. This measure is also used by equity and fixed income research analysts in their reports to investors evaluating our businesses and other companies in the cable television industry. We believe Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization is useful to investors because it enables them to assess our performance in a manner similar to the methods used by our management and provides a measure that can be used to analyze, value and compare companies in the cable television industry, which may have different depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation policies. A limitation of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our businesses. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures, investment spending and free cash flow. Management also evaluates the costs of capitalized tangible and intangible assets by analyzing returns provided on the capital dollars deployed. Another limitation of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization is that it does not reflect income net of interest expense, which is a significant expense for us because of the substantial debt we incurred to acquire cable television systems and finance capital expenditures to upgrade our cable network. Management evaluates the impact of interest expense through measures including interest expense, free cash flow, the returns analysis discussed above and debt service covenant ratios under our credit facility. Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income, net income and various cash flow measures (e.g., net cash provided by operating activities), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. (2) Revenue Generating Units (RGUs) represent the sum of basic, digital, high-speed Internet and telephone customers. (3) Basic customers are customers of a cable television system who receive a package of over-the-air broadcast stations, local access channels and certain satellite-delivered cable television services, other than premium services, and who are usually charged a flat monthly rate for a number of channels. (4) Represents a 3.2% increase from basic customers at December 31, 2005. At this time, we are unable to reconcile Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization with net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, without unreasonable efforts, and we will provide reconciliations when we release final fourth quarter and year end results. The results presented above are preliminary and, although based on information currently available to us, the presented results include estimates and assumptions. As we and our independent auditors continue to review and refine our results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006, the estimates and assumptions may change, possibly materially.
