TABLE 4
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“OIBDA,” “Adjusted OIBDA,” “cash interest expense,” “estimated federal / state 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 estimated amount of federal and state income taxes that Mediacom Broadband LLC and Mediacom LLC would have paid during the three months ended June 30, 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, estimated federal and state taxes and dividends to preferred members. For Mediacom LLC, we define free cash flow as Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures, cash interest expense and estimated federal and state taxes. After-tax free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
