Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On February 2, 2009, Virgin Media Inc.

The information contained in this Item 7.01, including the exhibit incorporated herein by reference, is furnished to, but not filed with, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

EX-99.1 2 a09-4367_1ex99d1.htm PRESENTATION & RECONCILIATION RELATING TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE

Exhibit 99.1

 

Free Cash Flow

 

We define Free Cash Flow (FCF) as operating income before depreciation, amortization, goodwill impairment and restructuring and other charges (OCF) reduced by purchase of fixed and intangible assets, as reported in our statements of cash flows, and net interest expense, as reported in our statements of operations. Our definition of FCF excludes the impact of working capital fluctuations and restructuring costs as defined by FAS 146. FCF is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe the most directly comparable financial measure recognized under GAAP is net cash provided by operating activities.

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer, consider FCF as a helpful measure in assessing our liquidity and prospects for the future. We also believe FCF is useful to investors as a basis for comparing our performance and coverage ratios with other companies in our industry. In particular, this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconcilition to net cash provided by operating activities shown below, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. FCF should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various contractual obligations which are not deducted to arrive at FCF. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare our FCF with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures that have the same or similar names.

 

The presentation of this supplemental information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities, or other measures of financial performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.
