TABLE 7
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“OIBDA,” “Adjusted OIBDA,” “cash interest expense,” “income taxes” and “after-tax free cash flow” are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. We define OIBDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization and Adjusted OIBDA as OIBDA plus investment income from affiliate and excluding non-cash share-based compensation. OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may have different depreciation and amortization policies, and are key components in our covenant calculations.

We define cash interest expense as interest expense, net, less amortization of deferred financing costs. Cash interest expense excludes the amortization of financing costs which were paid upon the financing of the relevant debt.

We define income taxes as the restricted payments (“RPs”) made by Mediacom Broadband LLC and Mediacom LLC to fund their pro rata share of federal and state income taxes owed by their parent company. These RPs reflected amounts that Mediacom Broadband LLC and Mediacom LLC would have incurred during the three months and full year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in the event they were each tax-paying corporations.

For Mediacom Broadband LLC, we define after-tax free cash flow as Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures, cash interest expense, income taxes and dividends to preferred members. For Mediacom LLC, we define free cash flow as Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures, cash interest expense and income taxes. After-tax free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Reference to “Mediacom Combined” reflects the combined results of Mediacom Broadband LLC and Mediacom LLC, eliminating intercompany amounts between them.

TABLE 8
Footnotes

(a) See Table 7 for information regarding our usage of non-GAAP financial measures.

(b) Represents Adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of total revenues.

(c) Total debt excludes the effect of deferred financing costs, net.

(d) Represents unused and available commitments under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to outstanding borrowings and letters of credit issued thereunder.

(e) Represents net debt at period end divided by annualized Adjusted OIBDA for the period.

(f) Represents Adjusted OIBDA divided by cash interest expense for the period.
