f)Indemnity to Qurate Retail, Inc. (“Qurate Retail”), pursuant to Liberty Broadband’s indemnification agreement with Qurate Retail with respect to the Liberty Interactive LLC ("LI LLC") 1.75% exchangeable debentures due 2046 (the "LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures"). Liberty Broadband was required to indemnify LI LLC for any payments made to a holder of such debentures that exercised its exchange right on or before the put/call date of October 5, 2023 in excess of the sum of the adjusted principal amount of such debentures plus certain estimated tax benefits to Qurate Retail, if any, resulting from the exchange. All remaining LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures were retired or exchanged in the fourth quarter of 2023.
g)Liquidation value of preferred stock. Preferred stock has a 7% coupon, $25/share liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends and 1/3 vote per share. The redemption date is the first business day following March 8, 2039. The preferred stock is considered a liability for GAAP purposes.

Liberty Broadband cash increased $70 million in the fourth quarter as proceeds from Charter share sales more than offset share repurchases in the period and debt reduction. GCI cash increased $41 million in the fourth quarter as cash from operations more than offset capital expenditures.

Liberty Broadband debt decreased by $69 million in the fourth quarter primarily due to repayment under the Charter margin loan. There is $840 million of available capacity under the Charter margin loan. GCI’s credit facility has undrawn capacity of $397 million (net of letters of credit), and GCI’s leverage as defined in its credit agreement is 2.9x.

a)

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes a $29 million legal settlement accrual related to discussions and settlement offers that GCI made to the DOJ and Enforcement Bureau of the FCC. The legal proceedings were finalized and settlement payments were made in the second quarter of 2023.

b)

See reconciling schedule 1.

c)

A cable modem subscriber is defined by the purchase of cable modem service regardless of the level of service purchased. If one entity purchases multiple cable modem service access points, each access point is counted as a subscriber. Data cable modem subscribers as of December 31, 2023 include 1,100 subscribers that were reclassified from GCI Business to GCI Consumer subscribers in the first quarter of 2023 and are not new additions.

d)

A wireless line in service is defined as a wireless device with a monthly fee for services. Wireless lines in service as of December 31, 2023 include 1,400 lines that were reclassified from GCI Business to GCI Consumer lines in the first quarter of 2023 and are not new additions.

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares financial information for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023.


GCI revenue was flat in the fourth quarter, with growth in business data offset by declines in other revenue in both business and consumer. GCI revenue increased 1% for the full year driven by robust demand for data in business customers throughout the year, partially offset by a decline in video and voice revenue.

Operating income increased in the fourth quarter and full year due to lower depreciation expense as certain assets became fully depreciated in 2022. The full year also benefited from lapping a legal settlement accrual recognized in 2022. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 1% in the fourth quarter and increased 1% for the full year in line with revenue growth. Business data growth was strong throughout 2023 highlighting the shift to higher margin revenue, offset primarily by higher selling, general and administrative expense due to increases in labor related costs, software contracts, bad debt and property taxes.

In 2023, GCI spent $216 million, net, on capital expenditures, which is elevated compared to prior expectations largely due to the timing of receiving certain grant proceeds. Capital expenditure spending was primarily related to improvements to the wireless and data networks, particularly in rural Alaska. GCI’s net capital expenditures for 2024 are expected to be approximately $200 million related to additional high-returning investments in middle and last mile connectivity, with continued network expansion in GCI’s most important markets in rural Alaska including the Bethel and AU-Aleutians fiber projects.

FOOTNOTES

1)Liberty Broadband will discuss these highlights and other matters on Liberty Broadband's earnings conference call that will begin at 11:00 a.m. (E.T.) on February 16, 2024. For information regarding how to access the call, please see “Important Notice” later in this document.
2)Calculated pursuant to the stockholder agreement between Liberty Broadband and Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”).
3)Liberty Broadband’s principal operating asset is GCI Holdings, LLC (“GCI” or “GCI Holdings”), Alaska's largest communications provider, and it also holds an interest in Charter.

Important Notice: Liberty Broadband (Nasdaq: LBRDA, LBRDK, LBRDP) will discuss Liberty Broadband’s earnings release on a conference call which will begin at 11:00 a.m. (E.T.) on February 16, 2024. The call can be accessed by dialing (877) 407-3944 or (412) 902-0038, passcode 13742819, at least 10 minutes prior to the start time. The call will also be broadcast live across the Internet and archived on our website. To access the webcast go to https://www.libertybroadband.com/investors/news-events/ir-calendar. Links to this press release and replays of the call will also be available on Liberty Broadband’s website.

This press release includes certain forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about business strategies, market potential, future financial prospects, capital expenditures, matters relating to Liberty Broadband’s equity interest in Charter and Charter’s buyback of common stock, Liberty Broadband’s participation in Charter’s buyback of common stock, the continuation of our stock repurchase program, the expansion and upgrade of GCI’s fiber network, expectations regarding Charter’s mobile growth and Spectrum One results and other matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including, without limitation, possible changes in market acceptance of new products or services, competitive issues, regulatory matters affecting our businesses, continued access to capital on terms acceptable to Liberty Broadband, changes in law and government regulations, the availability of investment opportunities, general market conditions (including as a result of inflationary pressures) and market conditions conducive to stock repurchases. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and Liberty Broadband 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 Broadband's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Please refer to the publicly filed documents of Liberty Broadband, including the most recent Form 10-K, for additional information about Liberty Broadband and about the risks and uncertainties related to Liberty Broadband which may affect the statements made in this press release.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Liberty Broadband (and certain of its subsidiaries) and GCI Holdings together with a reconciliation to that entity or such businesses’ operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Broadband defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, and impairment charges. Further, this press release includes Adjusted OIBDA margin which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Liberty Broadband defines Adjusted OIBDA margin as Adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.

Liberty Broadband believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business' performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because Adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Liberty Broadband views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty Broadband’s management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the tables below for applicable reconciliations.


SCHEDULE 1

The following table provides a reconciliation of GCI’s operating income to its Adjusted OIBDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023.
