Telecommunications Services – Cable Television and Lightpath
Telecommunications Services includes Cable Television – Cablevision’s video, high-speed data, and voice residential and commercial services offered over its cable infrastructure – and Lightpath, a provider of integrated business communications solutions for larger companies.
Telecommunications Services net revenues for the third quarter 2013 increased 1.8% to $1.486 billion, AOCF decreased 4.5% to $486.2 million and operating income decreased 5.7% to $272.5 million, all compared with the prior year period. Third quarter 2012 results included a $12.0 million favorable settlement with a voice carrier. If excluded, consolidated net revenues would have increased 2.7%, AOCF would have decreased 2.2% and operating income would have decreased 1.6%, all compared to the prior year period.
Cable Television
Cable Television third quarter 2013 net revenues increased 1.8% to $1.407 billion principally due to higher data rates, higher video revenues and increased advertising revenues, compared to the prior year period. AOCF decreased 5.4% to $447.7 million and operating income decreased 7.2% to $255.8 million, all compared with the prior year period. Third quarter 2013 AOCF results reflect higher operating expenses, primarily programming and other costs. Excluding the favorable settlement with a voice carrier mentioned above, consolidated net revenues would have increased 2.7%, AOCF would have decreased 2.9% and operating income would have decreased 3.1%, all compared to the prior year period.
The following table illustrates the change in the Cable Television customer base during the third quarter of 2013:

Lightpath
For third quarter 2013, Lightpath net revenues increased 1.7% to $82.7 million, AOCF increased 7.2% to $38.6 million and operating income increased 27.0% to $16.6 million, each as compared with the prior year period. Third quarter results reflect an increase in revenue from Ethernet services versus the prior year period and a higher overall gross margin.
Page 2 of 12
Other
Other primarily consists of Newsday, News 12 Networks, MSG Varsity, Cablevision Media Sales Corporation and certain other businesses and unallocated corporate costs.
Third quarter 2013 net revenues increased 2.0% to $87.6 million, AOCF deficit decreased by 9.2% to a deficit of $45.1 million and operating loss decreased 33.9% to a loss of $47.0 million, all compared with the prior year period. Third quarter AOCF results principally reflect lower operating costs as a result of reduced activity at MSG Varsity. The improvement in operating loss reflects lower depreciation expense, primarily due to a $13.2 million adjustment related to prior periods.
Other Matters
On November 6, 2013, the Board of Directors of Cablevision declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share on each outstanding share of both its Cablevision NY Group Class A Stock and its Cablevision NY Group Class B Stock. This quarterly dividend is payable on December 13, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 22, 2013.
There were no repurchases of stock during the third quarter of 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $455 million available under its stock repurchase authorizations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define adjusted operating cash flow (“AOCF”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization (including impairments), excluding share-based compensation expense or benefit and restructuring charges or credits. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), AOCF also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of our business without regard to the distortive effects of fluctuating stock prices in the case of stock appreciation rights and, in the case of restricted shares, restricted stock units and stock options, the expense associated with an award that is not expected to be made in cash.
We present AOCF as a measure of our ability to service our debt and make continuing investments, including in our capital infrastructure. We believe AOCF is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our business segments and the company on a consolidated basis. AOCF and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts and peers to compare performance in our industry. Internally, we use net revenues and AOCF measures as the most important indicators of our business performance, and evaluate management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. AOCF should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Since AOCF is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of AOCF to operating income (loss), please see page 6 of this release.
We define Consolidated Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations (“Free Cash Flow”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash from operating activities (continuing operations) plus any excess tax benefit related to share-based awards less capital expenditures (continuing operations), all of which are reported in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Net cash from operating activities excludes net cash from operating activities of our discontinued operations. We believe the most comparable GAAP financial measure of our liquidity is net cash from operating activities. We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful as an indicator of our overall liquidity, as the amount of Free Cash Flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. It is also one of several indicators of our ability to make investments and/or return capital to our shareholders. We also believe that Free Cash Flow is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow our industry for comparison of our liquidity with other companies in our industry, although our measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

| (a) | Collateralized indebtedness is excluded from the leverage calculation because it is viewed as a forward sale of the stock of unaffiliated companies and the Company's only obligation at maturity is to deliver, at its option, the stock or its cash equivalent. |
| (b) | Leverage ratios are based on face amount of outstanding debt. |
| (c) | AOCF is annualized based on the third quarter 2013 results, as reported. |
| (d) | Reflects the net debt to cash flow ratio as defined in the CSC Holdings’ credit facility debt agreement (which excludes approximately $2.9 billion of Cablevision’s senior notes and the debt and cash flows related to CSC Holdings’ unrestricted subsidiaries which are primarily comprised of Newsday). The annualized AOCF (as defined) used in the Restricted Group leverage ratio was $1.846 billion. |
| (e) | Includes CSC Holdings’ guarantee of Newsday LLC’s $640 million senior secured credit facility. |
| (f) | Reflects the debt to cash flow ratio applicable under CSC Holdings’ senior notes and debentures indentures (which excludes approximately $2.9 billion of Cablevision’s senior notes and the debt and cash flows related to CSC Holdings’ unrestricted subsidiaries which are primarily comprised of Newsday). The annualized AOCF (as defined) used in the CSC Holdings notes and debentures leverage ratio was $1.797 billion. |
| (g) | Adjusts the debt to cash flow ratio as calculated under the CSC Holdings notes and debentures leverage ratio to include approximately $2.9 billion of Cablevision’s senior notes plus $754 million of Cablevision’s senior notes that were contributed to Newsday Holdings LLC. |
