Liberty Global defines operating cash flow as revenue less operating and SG&A expenses (excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, and restructuring and other charges). Liberty Global believes this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including the ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. In this regard, Liberty Global believes that operating cash flow is meaningful because it provides investors a means to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and its reportable segments on an ongoing basis using criteria that is used by Liberty Global’s internal decision makers. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, operating cash flow should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Liberty Global generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

Operating Cash Flow Definition

Appendix

Revenue Generating Unit (“RGU”) is separately an Analog Cable Subscriber, Digital Cable Subscriber, DTH Subscriber, MMDS Subscriber, Internet Subscriber or Telephony Subscriber. A home may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residential customer in our Austrian system subscribed to our digital cable service, telephony service and high-speed broadband Internet access service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. “Total RGUs” is the sum of Analog, Digital Cable, DTH, MMDS, Internet and Telephony Subscribers. In some cases, non-paying subscribers are counted as subscribers during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers choose to disconnect after their free service period. We revised our methodology for RGUs (the new methodology), whereby a Digital RGU is no longer double counted as an Analog RGU, which was the case under the “Old Method”.

Average Revenue Per Unit (“ARPU”) is calculated as follows: average monthly broadband revenue for the period as indicated, divided by the average of the opening and closing RGUs for the period.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(1) We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forecasted Operating Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), because certain items are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For example, it is impractical to: (1) estimate future fluctuations in interest rates on our variable-rate debt facilities; (2) estimate the fluctuations in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and its impact on our results of operations; (3) estimate the financial results of our non-consolidated affiliates; and (4) estimate changes in circumstances that lead to gains and/or losses such as sales of investments in affiliates and other assets. Any and/or all of these items could be significant to our forecasted financial results.

Free Cash Flow is not a GAAP measure of liquidity. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe our presentation of free cash flow provides useful information to our investors because it can be used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. Investors should view free cash flow as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.
