COMCAST CORPORATION
TABLE 7
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Operating Cash Flow is the primary basis used to measure the operational
strength and performance of our businesses. Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free
Cash Flow are additional performance measures used as indicators of our
ability to service and repay debt, make investments and return capital to
investors, through stock repurchases and dividends. We also adjust certain
historical data on a pro forma basis following certain acquisitions or
dispositions to enhance comparability. Operating Cash Flow is defined as operating income before depreciation and
amortization, excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible
assets and gains or losses on sale of assets, if any. As such, it eliminates
the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that
results from the capital intensive nature of our businesses and intangible
assets recognized in business combinations, and is unaffected by our capital
structure or investment activities. Our management and Board of Directors use
this measure in evaluating our consolidated operating performance and the
operating performance of all of our operating segments. This metric is used to
allocate resources and capital to our operating segments and is a significant
performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. We believe
that Operating Cash Flow is also useful to investors as it is one of the bases
for comparing our operating performance with other companies in our
industries, although our measure of Operating Cash Flow may not be directly
comparable to similar measures used by other companies. As Operating Cash Flow is the measure of our segment profit or loss, we
reconcile it to operating income, the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), in the business segment
footnote of our quarterly and annual financial statements. Therefore, we
believe our measure of Operating Cash Flow for our business segments is not a
"non-GAAP financial measure" as contemplated by Regulation G adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Consolidated Operating Cash Flow is a non-
GAAP financial measure. Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as "Net
Cash Provided by Operating Activities" (as stated in our Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures and cash paid for
intangible assets; increased by any payments related to certain nonoperating
items, net of estimated tax benefits (such as income taxes on investment
sales, and nonrecurring payments related to income tax and litigation
contingencies of acquired companies) and decreased by any proceeds from the
sale of trading securities. Unlevered Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow before
cash paid interest. We believe that Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash
Flow are also useful to investors as the basis for comparing our performance
and coverage ratios with other companies in our industries, although our
measure of Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow may not be comparable
to similar measures used by other companies. Pro forma data is used by management to evaluate performance when certain
acquisitions or dispositions occur. Historical data reflects results of
acquired businesses only after the acquisition dates while pro forma data
enhances comparability of financial information between periods by adjusting
the data as if the acquisitions or dispositions occurred at the beginning of
the prior year. Our pro forma data is only adjusted for the timing of
acquisitions or dispositions and does not include adjustments for costs
related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or
may be achieved by the combined businesses. We believe our pro forma data is
not a non-GAAP financial measure as contemplated by Regulation G. In certain circumstances we also present data, as adjusted, in order to
enhance comparability between periods. Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow should
not be considered as substitutes for operating income (loss), net income
(loss), net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of
performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, in
the opinion of management, our pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of
future results or what results would have been had the acquired businesses
been operated by us after the assumed earlier date. We provide reconciliations of Consolidated Operating Cash Flow in Table 1,
Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow in Table 4, Pro Forma in Table 7-A
and Adjusted Net Income in Table 7-B.
