For Immediate Release
Mediacom Communications Reports Results
for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2005
 
Middletown, NY — February 23, 2006 — MEDIACOM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION (Nasdaq: MCCC) today reported financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2005. The Company will hold a teleconference to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2005 results today at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. A live broadcast of the Company’s teleconference can be accessed through the Company web site at www.mediacomcc.com.
Fourth Quarter 2005 Financial Highlights
    Revenues of $280.3 million, an increase of 5.7% over Q4 2004
 
    Operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”) of $100.7 million, a decrease of 1.7% compared to Q4 2004
 
    Adjusted OIBDA of $101.1 million, a decrease of 1.3% compared to Q4 2004. Adjusted OIBDA excludes non-cash compensation charges
 
    Net loss of $212.7 million, reflecting a $197.3 million non-cash tax charge, versus net income of $2.0 million in Q4 2004
 
    Capital expenditures of $49.0 million
 
    Total revenue generating units (“RGUs”) of 2,417,000, a gain of 56,000 during the quarter versus 28,000 RGU additions in the fourth quarter of 2004, consisting of:
    Basic subscriber losses of 6,000
 
    Digital customer gains of 17,000
 
    Data customer gains of 25,000
 
    Phone customer gains of 20,000
Full Year 2005 Financial Highlights
    Revenues of $1,098.8 million, an increase of 3.9% over full year 2004
 
    OIBDA of $405.3 million, a decrease of 2.0% compared to full year 2004
 
    Adjusted OIBDA of $406.6 million, a decrease of 1.7% compared to full year 2004
 
    Net loss of $222.2 million, reflecting the $197.3 million non-cash tax charge mentioned above, versus net income of $13.6 million for 2004
 
    Capital expenditures of $228.2 million

 


 

    Total RGUs of 2,417,000, a gain of 196,000 during the year versus 15,000 RGU additions in 2004, consisting of:
    Basic subscriber losses of 35,000
 
    Digital customer gains of 98,000
 
    Data customer gains of 111,000
 
    Phone customer gains of 22,000
“In 2005, Mediacom delivered record RGU growth,” said Rocco B. Commisso, Mediacom’s Chairman and CEO. “Our customers clearly responded to new product packinging and bundling initiatives, as evidenced by all-time high digital and data net additions. These strategies also contributed to a significant reduction in year-over-year basic subscriber losses. However, the effects of extended promotional discount periods, combined with incremental costs needed to ready our network for phone service and the cumulative impact of three major hurricanes disrupting Gulf Coast operations in 2004 and 2005, all weighed on revenue and cash flow results.”
“Our experience so far with the phone service launches has been encouraging, as we gained 20,000 phone customers this quarter. We finished the year marketing the triple-play bundle of video, data and voice to over half of the total homes in our markets. We anticipate that the phone business will be a meaningful contributor to revenue growth in 2006, helping lay the groundwork for improved financial performance this year,” Mr. Commisso concluded.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2004
For the fourth quarter of 2005, revenues were $280.3 million, an increase of 5.7% over $265.2 million in the comparable 2004 period.
    Video revenues increased 2.4%, as a result of rate increases applied on the Company’s subscribers and greater digital penetration and fees from advanced video products and services, offset by a decrease in basic subscribers and the impact of extended promotional discount offers. For the fourth quarter, basic subscriber losses amounted to 6,000, as compared to a loss of 3,000 in the prior year quarter. Digital customers rose by 17,000 during the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to a gain of 14,000 in the same period last year. Average monthly video revenue per basic subscriber increased 4.8% from the fourth quarter of 2004 to $49.67.
 
    Data revenues rose 24.4%, primarily due to a 30.2% year-over-year increase in data customers. Data customers grew by 25,000 during the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to a gain of 17,000 in the same period last year. Average monthly data revenue per data customer decreased 4.2% from the fourth quarter of 2004 to $37.33, largely due to extended promotional offers in 2005.
 
    Advertising revenues decreased 6.8%, largely as a result of an anticipated decline in political advertising from the 2004 election year.

Service costs grew 8.5%, primarily due to: (i) increased programming costs as a result of lower launch support received from programming suppliers and higher unit costs, partially offset by a lower base of basic subscribers; (ii) greater use of outside contractors for customer activity typically performed by service employees and, to a lesser extent, increases in routine plant repairs and maintenance; (iii) higher field operating costs driven by rising vehicle fuel costs; and (iv) greater employee costs caused by increased headcount and overtime of technicians to prepare the Company’s network for phone service and for customer installation activity, offset in part by higher levels of labor and overhead capitalization.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 11.8%, primarily due to increasing employee costs, including higher staffing, commissions and benefit costs of customer service and direct sales personnel, caused by greater levels of customer activity.
Corporate expenses rose 36.9%, principally due to increases in employee compensation, including non-cash compensation charges totaling $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, and higher legal and accounting fees. As a percentage of revenues, corporate expenses were 2.1% as compared to 1.6% in the prior year quarter.
Depreciation and amortization increased 8.6%, principally as a result of asset retirements and disposals related to Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina.
Interest expense, net, increased 10.1%, principally due to higher market interest rates on variable rate debt and, to a lesser extent, greater levels of indebtedness.
As a result of the quarterly mark-to-market valuation of the Company’s interest rate exchange agreements, the Company recorded a net gain on derivatives amounting to $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the net gain of $6.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004.
Provision for income taxes was approximately $197.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company took a non-cash charge of $197.3 million, reflecting its decision to raise the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, which principally consist of the Company’s pre-tax net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state purposes. These carryforwards totaled approximately $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2005.
The Company generated a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2005 of $212.7 million, as compared to net income of $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has included the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in Attachment 4 to provide more detail regarding its liquidity and capital resources.
Page 3 of 14

 


 

Significant sources of cash for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 were:
    Generation of net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $179.1 million;
 
    Net borrowings of $50.0 million under the Company’s revolving credit facilities; and
 
    Proceeds from the sale of assets and investments of $4.6 million.
Significant uses of cash for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 were:
    Capital expenditures of approximately $228.2 million;
 
    Repurchases of approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock for $14.5 million; and
 
    Financing costs of $11.8 million primarily related to: (i) the issuance in August 2005 of $200.0 million of 81/2% Notes due 2015; and (ii) the amendment of the revolving credit portion of one of the Company’s credit facilities.
Capital Raising Activities
In April 2005, the Company redeemed $200.0 million of 81/2% Senior Notes due 2008 with available funds from its senior secured credit facilities.
In August 2005, the Company issued $200.0 million of 81/2% Senior Notes due 2015; proceeds were used to reduce outstanding balances under the revolving credit portion of its senior secured credit facilities.
In October 2005, the Company amended the revolving credit portion of one of its senior secured credit facilities to: (i) increase the revolving credit commitment from approximately $543.0 million to approximately $650.5 million, of which approximately $430.3 million is not subject to scheduled reductions prior to the termination date; and (ii) extend the termination date of the commitments not subject to reductions from March 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012.
Financial Position
At December 31, 2005, the Company had total debt outstanding of $3,059.7 million, an increase of $50.1 million since December 31, 2004. As of the same date, the Company had unused credit facilities of $871.2 million, all of which could be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of the Company’s debt arrangements. As of the date of this press release, 70.9% of the Company’s total debt is at fixed interest rates or subject to interest rate protection, and the Company’s weighted average cost of debt capital, including interest rate swap agreements, is 7.3%.
2006 Guidance
The Company today announced its financial guidance for 2006, as follows:
    Revenue growth of between 8% and 9%
 
    Adjusted OIBDA growth of between 7% and 8%
 
    Capital expenditures of approximately $200 million

Stock Repurchase Program and Activity
In May 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $50.0 million stock repurchase program. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares for approximately $8.2 million. Subsequent to year-end 2005, the Company repurchased an additional 2.1 million shares for approximately $12.1 million. As of February 20, 2006, the Company had approximately $11.2 million of availability remaining under the program. On February 21, 2006, the Board authorized an additional $50.0 million stock repurchase program, bringing the total authorization for stock repurchases to $61.2 million.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“OIBDA,” “Adjusted OIBDA” and “free cash flow” are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Company defines free cash flow as OIBDA less interest expense, net, cash taxes and capital expenditures.
OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA are two of the primary measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance and to forecast future results. The Company believes these measures are useful for investors because they enable investors to assess the Company’s performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management, and provide measures that can be used to analyze, value and compare the companies in the cable television industry, which may have different depreciation and amortization policies, as well as different non-cash compensation programs. A limitation of OIBDA, however, is that it excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. Management utilizes a separate process to budget, measure and evaluate capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA has the limitation of not reflecting the effect of the Company’s non-cash compensation charges.
Free cash flow is used by management to evaluate the Company’s ability to service its debt and to fund continued growth with internally generated funds. The Company believes free cash flow is useful for investors because it enables them to assess the Company’s ability to service its debt and to fund continued growth with internally generated funds in a manner similar to the method used by management, and provide measures that can be used to analyze, value and compare companies in the cable television industry. The Company’s definition of free cash flow eliminates the impact of quarterly working capital fluctuations, most notably from the timing of semi-annual cash interest payments on the Company’s senior notes.
OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow should not be regarded as alternatives to either operating income, net income or net loss as indicators of operating performance or to the statement of cash flows as measures of liquidity, nor should they be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA, and that net cash flows provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to free cash flow. Reconciliations of historical presentations of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in Attachment 6. The Company is unable to reconcile these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable non-GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis primarily because it is impractical to project the timing of certain items, such as the initiation of depreciation relative to network construction project, or changes in working capital.
