24. Appendix
Definitions and Additional Information
Revenue Generating Unit (“RGU”) is separately an Analog Cable Subscriber, Digital Cable Subscriber, DTH Subscriber, MMDS Subscriber, Internet Subscriber or
Telephone 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,
telephone service and broadband Internet service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. Total RGUs is the sum of Analog Cable, Digital Cable, DTH, MMDS,
Internet and Telephone 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. Please refer to our February 26, 2008 press release for additional subscriber definitions.
Average Revenue Per Unit (“ARPU”) refers to the average monthly subscription revenue per average RGU. ARPU per customer relationship refers to the average
monthly subscription revenue per average customer relationship. In both cases, the amounts are calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue
(excluding installation and mobile telephony revenue) for the indicated period, by the average of the opening and closing balances for RGUs or customer
relationships, as the case may be, for the period. RGUs and customer relationships of entities acquired during the period are normalized.
OCF margin is calculated by dividing OCF by total revenue for the applicable period.
Information on Rebased Growth: For purposes of calculating rebased growth rates on a comparable basis for all businesses that we owned during 2007, we
have adjusted our historical revenue and OCF for the three months and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively to (i) include the pre-acquisition revenue and
OCF of certain entities acquired during 2006 and 2007 in our rebased amounts for the three months and year ended December 31, 2006 to the same extent that the
revenue and OCF of such entities are included in our results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007 and (ii) reflect the translation of our rebased
amounts for the three months and year ended December 31 2006 at the applicable average exchange rates that were used to translate our results for the three
31,
months and year ended December 31, 2007. The acquired entities that have been included in the determination of our rebased revenue and OCF for the three
months ended December 31, 2006 include Telenet, JTV Thematics, Telesystems Tirol, ten small acquisitions in Europe and one small acquisition in Japan. The
acquired entities that have been included in the determination of our rebased revenue and OCF for the year ended December 31, 2006 include Telenet, Cable West,
Karneval, INODE, JTV Thematics, Telesystems Tirol, thirteen small acquisitions in Europe and three small acquisitions in Japan. We have reflected the revenue and
OCF of these acquired entities in our 2006 rebased amounts based on what we believe to be the most reliable information that is currently available to us (generally
pre-acquisition financial statements), as adjusted for the estimated effects of (i) any significant differences between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
( GAAP )
(“GAAP”) and local generally accepted accounting principles (ii) any significant effects of post-acquisition purchase accounting adjustments (iii) any significant
principles, adjustments,
differences between our accounting policies and those of the acquired entities and (iv) other items we deem appropriate. As we did not own or operate these
businesses during the pre-acquisition periods, no assurance can be given that we have identified all adjustments necessary to present the revenue and OCF of these
entities on a basis that is comparable to the corresponding post-acquisition amounts that are included in our historical 2007 results or that the pre-acquisition
financial statements we have relied upon do not contain undetected errors. The adjustments reflected in our 2006 rebased amounts have not been prepared with a
view towards complying with Article 11 of the SEC's Regulation S-X. In addition, the rebased growth percentages are not necessarily indicative of the revenue and
OCF that would have occurred if these transactions had occurred on the dates assumed for purposes of calculating our rebased 2006 amounts or the revenue and
OCF that will occur in the future The rebased growth percentages have been presented as a basis for assessing 2007 growth rates on a comparable basis and are
future. basis,
not presented as a measure of our pro forma financial performance for 2006. Therefore, we believe our rebased data is not a non-GAAP measure as contemplated
by Regulation G or Item 10 of Regulation S-K.

25. Appendix
Operating Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation
Operating cash flow is not a GAAP measure. Operating cash flow is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating
performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. As we use the term, operating cash flow is defined as revenue less operating and SG&A
expenses (excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, provisions for litigation, and impairment, restructuring and other operating charges
or credits). We believe operating cash flow is meaningful because it provides investors a means to evaluate the operating performance of our segments and our
company on an ongoing basis using criteria that is used by our internal decision makers. Our internal decision makers believe operating cash flow is a meaningful
measure and is superior to other available GAAP measures because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance and allows
management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve
operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. For example, our internal decision makers believe that the inclusion of impairment and
restructuring charges within operating cash flow would distort the ability to efficiently assess and view the core operating trends in our segments. In addition, our
internal decision makers believe our measure of operating cash flow is important because analysts and investors use it to compare our performance to other
companies in our industry. However, our definition of operating cash flow may differ from cash flow measurements provided by other public companies. A
reconciliation of total segment operating cash fl
ili i f l i h flow to our consolidated earnings (l ) b f
lid d i (loss) before i
income taxes, minority i
i i interests and di
d discontinued operations, i
i d i is
presented below. Operating cash flow should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating
income, net earnings, cash flow from operating activities and other GAAP measures of income.

27. Appendix
Free Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation
FCF includes amounts from both our continuing and discontinued operations and is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures,
each as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows. We have modified this definition from previous reporting so that non-cash capital lease additions are
no longer deducted to arrive at FCF. Accordingly, prior period FCF amounts have been revised to conform to our new FCF definition. Adjusted FCF represents FCF
less non-cash capital lease additions. Unlevered FCF represents FCF plus cash paid for interest. FCF, Adjusted FCF and Unlevered FCF are not GAAP measures of
p p p p , j
liquidity. We believe that our presentation of FCF, Adjusted FCF and Unlevered FCF provides useful information to our investors because these measures can be
used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. These FCF measures should not be understood to represent our ability to fund
discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, which are not deducted to arrive at these amounts.
Investors should view these FCF measures as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of liquidity included in our consolidated cash flow
statements. The table below highlights the reconciliation of net cash from operating activities to FCF, FCF to Adjusted FCF and FCF to Unlevered FCF for the three
months and year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively:
