This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including certain statements relating to business strategies, expected future growth in cash flow and expenditures of capital, GCI’s planned acquisition of Quintillion and the quarterly dividend beginning in December 2026. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as “possible,” “potential,” “intends” or “expects” or other words or phrases of similar import or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” or “could,” or similar variations. These forward-looking statements involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including, without limitation, competitive issues, customer demand, economic conditions (including inflationary pressures), regulatory and legislative matters affecting Liberty Capital’s businesses, the completion of GCI’s acquisition of Quintillion, Liberty Capital’s capital resources and capital requirements as well as applicable laws and other considerations in declaring a dividend, and Liberty Capital’s ability to execute its growth strategy. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and Liberty Capital expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Liberty Capital’s expectations with regard thereto or any change of events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Please refer to the publicly filed documents of Liberty Capital, including the risk factors detailed in its most recent Form 10-K, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports Liberty Capital subsequently files with the SEC, for additional information about Liberty Capital and the risks and uncertainties related to Liberty Capital’s business that may affect the statements made in this press release.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
SCHEDULE 1
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA and trailing twelve months of free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, for Liberty Capital together with reconciliations to operating income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, as determined under GAAP, as well as Adjusted OIBDA margin. Liberty Capital defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition costs and impairment charges. Liberty Capital defines Adjusted OIBDA margin as Adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue. Liberty Capital defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures net of grant proceeds received for capital expenditures.
Liberty Capital believes Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow are important indicators of the operational strength and performance of its business by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of business performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, these measures allow management to assess Liberty Capital’s performance, its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve performance. Liberty Capital believes presenting free cash flow on a trailing twelve month basis more accurately demonstrates the company’s liquidity profile by minimizing seasonal fluctuations, particularly around timing of Universal Service Fund cash receipts. Because Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow are used as measures of operating performance and liquidity, respectively, Liberty Capital views operating income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, as the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow are not meant to replace or supersede operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty Capital’s management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the tables below for applicable reconciliations.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of Liberty Capital’s operating income to Adjusted OIBDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026 and net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
