LIBERTY GLOBAL FULL COMPANY ADJUSTED FCF & DISTRIBUTABLE CF
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted FCF) & Distributable Cash Flow:
Adjusted FCF: We define Adjusted FCF as net cash provided by the operating activities of our continuing operations, plus operating-related
vendor financed expenses (which represents an increase in the period to our actual cash available as a result of extending vendor payment
terms beyond normal payment terms, which are typically 90 days or less, through non-cash financing activities), less (i) cash payments in the
period for capital expenditures, (ii) principal payments on operating- and capital-related amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries
(which represents a decrease in the period to our actual cash available as a result of paying amounts to vendors and intermediaries where we
previously had extended vendor payments beyond the normal payment terms), and (iii) principal payments on finance leases (which
represents a decrease in the period to our actual cash available), each as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows
with each item excluding any cash provided or used by our discontinued operations. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2021, our definition of
Adjusted FCF excluded cash payments for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, we changed our definition of Adjusted FCF to include these cash payments. Cash paid for third-party costs
directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisition and dispositions was $13.4 million and $13.2 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Distributable Cash Flow. We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted FCF, as re-defined during the fourth quarter of 2021, plus any
dividends received from our equity affiliates that are funded by activities outside of their normal course of operations, including, for example,
those funded by recapitalizations (referred to as "Other Affiliate Dividends").
We believe our presentation of Adjusted FCF and Distributable Cash Flow, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, provides useful information
to our investors because these measures can be used to gauge our ability to (a) service debt and (b) fund new investment opportunities after
consideration of all actual cash payments related to our working capital activities and expenses that are capital in nature, whether paid inside
normal vendor payment terms or paid later outside normal vendor payment terms (in which case we typically pay in less than 365 days).
Adjusted FCF and Distributable Cash Flow should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have
various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, that are not deducted to arrive at these amounts. Investors should
view Adjusted FCF and Distributable Cash Flow as supplements to, and not substitutes for, U.S. GAAP measures of liquidity included in our
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, our Adjusted FCF and Distributable Cash Flow may differ from how other
companies define and apply their definition of Adjusted FCF or other similar measures. Consistent with the basis for our full year 2022
Distributable Cash Flow guidance, the following table provides a reconciliation of our Full Company net cash provided by operating activities to
Full Company Adjusted FCF and Full Company Distributable Cash Flow for the indicated periods.
