Liberty Global Reports Q3 2025 Results
Driving value creation across our strategic pillars including reshaped corporate operating model
DENVER, Colorado–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Liberty Global Ltd. announces its Q3 2025 financial results.
CEO Mike Fries stated, “In the third quarter, we continued to execute against our key strategic initiatives. Despite challenging competitive environments across our Telecom markets, our operations each showed signs of commercial progress. Liberty Growth saw the conclusion of an outstanding Season 11 at Formula E, with fan engagement and TV viewership at record levels, while our data center assets continued to appreciate during the quarter. At Liberty Services & Corporate, we implemented an extensive program to reshape our operating model, driving cost efficiencies and resulting in a more agile platform going forward with Liberty Blume and Liberty Tech well-positioned to create value. An unwavering focus on fostering, crystallizing and delivering value to shareholders remains our top priority.
- Liberty Telecom: Our telco operations in the UK, Netherlands and Ireland all delivered improved net adds across both their broadband and postpaid commercial results in Q3, while Belgium remained broadly stable. VMO2 successfully launched giffgaff broadband, underpinning its multi-brand approach in fixed alongside a similar strategy in mobile. VodafoneZiggo’s new strategic plan helped deliver its best quarterly broadband performance in over two years and in October, VodafoneZiggo launched a 2 Gbps offering, reaching nearly 7 million homes by year-end. Lastly, in Belgium the authorities launched a market test to assess the proposed network collaboration between Telenet, Wyre, Proximus and Fiberklaar; this is a significant step towards finalizing the agreement. Additionally, the recent €4.35B1 underwritten financing for Wyre fully funds the fiber build-out and reduces Telenet servco leverage.
- Liberty Growth: Our portfolio remains concentrated, with the top six investments2 comprising >80% of its $3.4B3 FMV. Formula E concluded a record growth year, with a double-digit increase in the global fanbase year-over-year and 17% growth in cumulative TV-viewership to 561 million. With Gen4 coming in Season 13, and a great schedule already set for Season 12, we could not be more excited about the path ahead for Formula E. We remain committed to our non-core asset disposal target of $500-750m, with the recent partial ITV stake sale taking us to ~$300m4 of proceeds YTD.
- Liberty Services and Corporate: We implemented a significant reshaping of our corporate operating model in the third quarter, driving a material improvement in our projected Adj. EBITDA outlook. Including run-rate cost savings across Liberty Corporate and Liberty Tech, we now anticipate that our 2026 negative Adj. EBITDA will be ~$100m5, a 50% reduction from our run-rate going into 2025. We continue to view our tech-enabled back office (Liberty Blume) and technology (LG Tech) platforms as potential sources of value creation going forward.
Guidance update: In the UK, we are confirming expected growth in combined consumer and wholesale revenue (excl. handsets and nexfibre construction) and are currently reviewing the impact of the Daisy Group transaction on B2B reporting6; with all other full-year guidance metrics for our Liberty Telecom operations reconfirmed. Following our corporate reshaping and associated cost savings, we now expect an improved outlook for Liberty Services & Corporate Adj. EBITDA of approximately negative $150m for full year 20255, an improvement from negative ~$175m at our Q2 upgrade and <$200m negative in our original 2025 guidance.

VMO2 continues growth in guided Adjusted EBITDA7 and achieves significant operational milestones
During the third quarter, VMO2 sustained Adj. EBITDA growth and saw an improvement in commercial performance. Despite further competitive intensity, new commercial initiatives and continued mobile network improvements drove better broadband and postpaid net adds as compared to Q2. VMO2 executed key strategic steps including launching giffgaff broadband, completing the O2 Daisy merger, and enabling the spectrum acquired from Vodafone UK. VMO2 is confirming all guidance metrics, including growth in combined consumer and wholesale revenue (excluding handsets and nexfibre construction) and continuing to review the impact of the Daisy M&A transaction on B2B6due to weaker fixed trends YTD and the intense competitive environment.
Highlights for Q3
- Completed the B2B merger of O2 Daisy: Targeting ~£600 million of operational synergies on a net present value basis
- Launched giffgaff broadband: Increasing brand reach in the fixed market with challenger brand giffgaff
- Spectrum: Launched VMO2’s first Giga Site, enabled by spectrum transferred from Vodafone UK, and successfully acquired one third of available spectrum in recent mmWave auction
- Starlink Partnership: VMO2 and Starlink have agreed to a UK-first deal that is set to boost mobile coverage in rural areas using Direct-to-Cell satellite technology
Q3 Financial Highlights (in U.S. GAAP, as reported by Liberty Global)11
-
Revenue of $3,436.0 million, -2.2% YoY on a reported basis and -5.6% YoY on a rebased12 basis

-
Adjusted EBITDA13 of $1,250.3 million, +6.8% YoY on a reported basis and +3.1% on a rebased basis
- Primarily driven by (i) lower operating expenses, including lower costs to capture, partially offset by negative profitability associated with nexfibre construction. Additionally, an approximately $27 million handset inventory-related insurance recovery was substantially offset by a provision for legal matters which did not impact cash in the quarter
- Property and equipment additions of $647.7 million, -5.8% YoY on a reported basis and -9.3% on a rebased basis
- Adjusted EBITDA less P&E additions13 of $602.6 million, +24.7% YoY on a reported basis and +20.8% on a rebased basis

-
Adjusted EBITDA of £1,015.8 million, +2.2% YoY on a reported and rebased basis
- Q3 2025 included the benefit of £87.0 million of U.S. GAAP/IFRS differences, primarily related to (i) the VMO2 JV’s investment in CTIL and (ii) leases

Q3 Operating Highlights10
- Broadband net losses of 26,300 improved sequentially, despite elevated churn due to ongoing intense competition and the impact of One Touch Switch
- Postpaid net losses of 36,300, primarily driven by B2B losses, while the consumer base remained stable, with improved churn supported by O2 free EU roaming campaign and continued network improvements
- Fixed ARPU declined modestly by 1.2%, reflecting pricing pressure
2025 VMO2 guidance (in IFRS)(i)
-
We are confirming6:
- Growth in combined consumer and wholesale revenue excluding handsets and the impact of nexfibre construction. Reviewing impact of the Daisy M&A transaction on B2B, with approximately £125 million incremental revenue expected from consolidation of Daisy Group

(i) Quantitative reconciliations to net earnings/loss (including net earnings/loss growth rates) and cash flow from operating activities for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAaL and Adjusted FCF guidance for Liberty Global and each of its OpCos cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts as we do not forecast (i) certain non-cash charges including: the components of non-operating income/expense, depreciation and amortization, and impairment, restructuring and other operating items included in net earnings/loss from continuing operations, nor (ii) specific changes in working capital that impact cash flows from operating activities. The items we do not forecast may vary significantly from period to period.
VodafoneZiggo executing on strategic plan with commercial momentum continuing in Q3
VodafoneZiggo’s third quarter financial results saw the continued impact from the strategic plan implemented in the first quarter. Commercial momentum continued to grow in Q3, with both broadband net adds and churn metrics improving as customers were proactively migrated onto new tariffs. For the remainder of the year, we are committed to building on the early success so far, and remain on track to deliver guidance for 2025 as revised at Q1.
Highlights for Q3
- Broadband momentum: VodafoneZiggo delivered its strongest broadband net adds performance since Q1 2023, with customer churn improving through the quarter as a result of the proactive recontracting of existing customers onto the new front book tariffs
- Network investment: 2 Gbps offering launched in October, reaching nearly 7 million homes by year-end and becoming the only operator in the Netherlands with 2 Gbps speeds nationwide, and 2.2 Gbps offering for B2B customers; 1.8GHz technology deployed in preparation for the DOCSIS 4.0 rollout scheduled for late 2026
- Re-energizing the brand: Launched several campaigns including OH Yeah Unlimited as of June, Ziggo Switch & Save to coincide with the start of the UEFA Champions League, and Battery Guarantee for Vodafone customers
Q3 Financial Highlights (in U.S. GAAP)
-
Revenue of $1,156.8 million, +2.3% YoY on a reported basis and -3.9% on a rebased basis

-
Adjusted EBITDA of $522.2 million, -1.1% YoY on a reported basis and -6.9% on a rebased basis
- Primarily driven by (i) the aforementioned revenue decline and (ii) slightly higher operating costs related to third-party consulting fees
- Cash flows from operating activities of $324.7 million, cash flows from investing activities of -$154.2 million and cash flows from financing activities of -$86.3 million
Q3 Financial Highlights (in U.S. GAAP) in local currency
- Revenue of €989.8 million,-3.9% YoY on both a reported and rebased basis
- Adjusted EBITDA of €447.2 million,-6.9% YoY on both a reported and rebased basis
Q3 Operating Highlights
- Broadband net losses of 18,500 improved sequentially, reflecting higher sales and a continued improvement in churn as a result of proactive customer recontracting
- Postpaid net adds of 17,200 were driven by continued strength in consumer
- Fixed ARPU increased 1.1% YoY, as the fixed price rise of 3.3% was offset by the proactive right-pricing of the new front book

- Low-single digit decline in revenue growth
- Mid- to high-single digit decline in Adjusted EBITDA growth

Telenet continued to deliver broadband growth and welcomed the launch of a market test on the proposed network collaboration
Commercial momentum improved further in the third quarter, supported by strong performance by BASE and successful back-to-school campaigns. Financially, Q3 results were impacted by a tough year-over-year comparison as Q3’24 included a positive one-off deferred revenue unwind ($18m). Strategically, the Belgian Competition Authority (BCA) launched a public consultation regarding the proposed fiber sharing agreement between Telenet, Wyre, Proximus and Fiberklaar. Telenet remains on track for all 2025 financial guidance.
Highlights for Q3
- Gigabit network collaboration: The BCA launched a market test in October to assess the proposed network sharing agreement in Flanders; Telenet & Wyre expect to finalize the agreement after the market test, subject to BCA approval
- Capital structure: Secured underwritten €4.35 billion debt facility1 which fully funds Wyre fiber roll-out and reduces Telenet leverage
- Commercial momentum growing: Telenet and BASE continued to build on recent commercial momentum, supported by successful back-to-school and DTV campaigns
Q3 Financial Highlights (in U.S. GAAP, as consolidated by Liberty Global)
-
Revenue of $804.9 million, +2.5% YoY on a reported basis and -3.6% on a rebased basis

- Broadband net adds of 4,400 continued to improve sequentially, supported by the growth of BASE FMC in the South and successful back-to-school campaigns
- The postpaid base declined by 2,000, driven by increased competition at Telenet and partially offset by continued growth at BASE
- Fixed ARPU grew modestly by 0.2% YoY, as the benefit of the ~3% price adjustment from April was partially offset by changes to the customer mix
2025 Telenet guidance (in IFRS)15
-
We are confirming:
- Broadly stable revenue (FY 2024: €2,851.4 million)
- Low-single digit decline in Adjusted EBITDAaL (FY 2024: €1,279.9 million)
- P&E Additions as a percentage of revenue of around 38%
- Adjusted FCF between -€180.0 and -€150.0 million
Virgin Media Ireland delivered further growth in mobile and continued to expand full fiber network
Virgin Media Ireland’s performance in the third quarter continued to be impacted by intense market competition, which drove a decline in revenue and Adj. EBITDA. Despite the competitive pressure, the business saw strong performance in mobile, supported by new offers that drove higher gross adds in the quarter. Strategically, Virgin Media Ireland continued to make strong progress on its targets, including FTTH rollout and off-net footprint expansion.
Highlights for Q3
- Network upgrade: Biggest quarter for fiber build and on track to complete ~73% of roll-out by end of 2025
- Mobile momentum: Continued strong mobile performance in Q3, benefitting from the €15/month offer launched in May
Q3 Financial Highlights (in U.S. GAAP)
-
Revenue of $122.2 million, +2.0% YoY on a reported basis and -3.9% on a rebased basis
- Primarily driven by lower consumer fixed and mobile revenue due to the high level of market competition, partially offset by continued strong performance in B2B revenue
-
Adjusted EBITDA of $41.8 million, +1.0% YoY on a reported basis and -5.3% on a rebased basis
- Primarily due to the aforementioned revenue declined, partially offset by lower programming costs during the quarter
- Cash flows from operating activities of $14.4 million, cash flows from investing activities of -$56.2 million, and cash flows from financing activities of $45.4 million
Q3 Financial Highlights (in U.S. GAAP) in local currency
- Revenue of €104.6 million, -3.9% YoY on both a reported and rebased basis
- Adjusted EBITDA of €35.7 million,-5.3% YoY on both a reported and rebased basis
Q3 Operating Highlights
- Broadband net losses of 800 improved sequentially, despite continued competitive intensity in the market
- The postpaid customer base continued to grow sequentially and YoY, with net adds of 4,600 supported by the launch of a new mobile offer during Q2
- ~15% of the broadband base now on fiber
Consolidated Leverage & Liquidity
- Total principal amount of debt and finance leases: $8.5 billion
- Average debt tenor17: 3.3 years, with ~39% not due until 2029 or thereafter
- Borrowing costs: Blended, fully-swapped cost of debt was 3.8%

Footnotes for Operating Data and Subscriber Variance Tables:
|
(i) |
|
In a number of countries, our mobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts. The mobile subscriber count for the VMO2 JV includes IoT connections, which are Machine-to-Machine contract mobile connections, including Smart Metering contract connections. The mobile subscriber count presented above for the VMO2 JV excludes wholesale mobile connections of approximately 10,191,500 that are included in the total mobile subscriber count as defined and presented by the VMO2 JV. |
|
(ii) |
|
Fixed-line counts for the VodafoneZiggo JV include certain B2B customers and subscribers. |
|
(iii) |
|
Organic movements for the periods presented exclude the impact of the O2 Daisy Merger. All net additions (losses) reflect changes in the underlying business performance, independent of merger-related activity at the VMO2 JV. |
Additional General Notes to Tables:
Most of our broadband communications subsidiaries provide broadband, telephony, data, video or other B2B services. Certain of our B2B revenue is derived from SOHO subscribers that pay a premium price to receive enhanced service levels along with broadband, video or telephony services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. All mass marketed products provided to SOHOs, whether or not accompanied by enhanced service levels and/or premium prices, are included in the respective RGU and customer counts of our broadband communications operations, with only those services provided at premium prices considered to be “SOHO RGUs” or “SOHO customers”. To the extent our existing customers upgrade from a residential product offering to a SOHO product offering, the number of SOHO RGUs or SOHO customers will increase, but there is no impact to our total RGU or customer counts. With the exception of our B2B SOHO subscribers and mobile subscribers at medium and large enterprises, we generally do not count customers of B2B services as customers or RGUs for external reporting purposes.
While we take appropriate steps to ensure that subscriber statistics are presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet date, the variability from country to country in (i) the nature and pricing of products and services, (ii) the distribution platform, (iii) billing systems, (iv) bad debt collection experience and (v) other factors add complexity to the subscriber counting process. We periodically review our subscriber counting policies and underlying systems to improve the accuracy and consistency of the data reported on a prospective basis. Accordingly, we may from time to time make appropriate adjustments to our subscriber statistics based on those reviews.

Rebase Information
Rebase growth percentages, which are non-GAAP measures, are presented as a basis for assessing growth rates on a comparable basis. For purposes of calculating rebase growth rates on a comparable basis for all businesses that we owned during 2025, we have adjusted our historical revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to (i) include the pre-acquisition revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and P&E Additions to the same extent these entities are included in our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, (ii) exclude from our rebased amounts the revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and P&E Additions of entities disposed of to the same extent these entities are excluded in our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, (iii) include in our rebased amounts the impact to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of activity between our continuing and discontinued operations related to the Tech Framework that previously eliminated within our consolidated results, (iv) include in our rebased amounts the revenue and costs for the temporary elements of transitional and other services provided to iliad, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and Sunrise, to reflect amounts related to these services equal to those included in our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and (v) reflect the translation of our rebased amounts at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. For entities we have acquired during 2024, we have reflected the revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and P&E Additions of these acquired entities in our 2024 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 (a) any significant differences between U.S. GAAP and local generally accepted accounting principles, (b) any significant effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, (c) any significant differences between our accounting policies and those of the acquired entities and (d) other items we deem appropriate. We do not adjust pre-acquisition periods to eliminate nonrecurring items or to give retroactive effect to any changes in estimates that might be implemented during post-acquisition periods. As we did not own or operate the acquired businesses during the pre-acquisition periods, no assurance can be given that we have identified all adjustments necessary to present the revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions of these entities on a basis that is comparable to the corresponding post-acquisition amounts that are included in our results or that the pre-acquisition financial statements we have relied upon do not contain undetected errors. In addition, the rebase growth percentages are not necessarily indicative of the revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions that would have occurred if these transactions had occurred on the dates assumed for purposes of calculating our rebased amounts or the revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions that will occur in the future. Investors should view rebase growth as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of performance included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table provides adjustments made to 2024 amounts (i) for our consolidated continuing operations and (ii) for the nonconsolidated VMO2 JV and VodafoneZiggo JV to derive our rebased growth rates:

|
(i) |
In addition to our acquisitions and dispositions, these rebase adjustments include amounts related to agreements to provide transitional and other services to iliad, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and Sunrise. These adjustments result in an equal amount of fees in both the 2025 and 2024 periods for those services that are deemed to be temporary in nature. |
|
|
(ii) |
Amounts reflect 100% of the adjustments made related to the VMO2 JV’s and the VodafoneZiggo JV’s revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions, which we do not consolidate, as we hold a 50% noncontrolling interest in the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV. |

For purposes of calculating our average tenor, total third-party debt excludes vendor financing, certain debt obligations that we assumed in connection with various acquisitions, debt collateralized by certain trade receivables of Telenet and Formula E and liabilities related to Telenet’s acquisition of mobile spectrum licenses. The percentage of debt not due until 2029 or thereafter includes all of these amounts. |

Our aggregate unused borrowing capacity of $0.9 billion represents the maximum availability under the applicable facilities at September 30, 2025 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. Upon completion of the relevant September 30, 2025 compliance reporting requirements for our credit facilities, and assuming no further changes from quarter-end borrowing levels, we anticipate that the full unused borrowing capacity will continue to be available under each of the respective subsidiary facilities. Our above expectations do not consider any actual or potential changes to our borrowing levels or any amounts loaned or distributed subsequent to September 30, 2025, or the full impact of additional amounts that may be available to borrow, loan or distribute under certain defined baskets within each respective facility. |
Glossary
See Reconciliations section of the Appendix below for applicable non-GAAP reconciliations.
10-Q or 10-K: As used herein, the terms 10-Q and 10-K refer to our most recent quarterly or annual report as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions and Property and Equipment Additions (P&E Additions):
- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance and is also a key factor that is used by our internal decision makers to (i) determine how to allocate resources and (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of our management for purposes of annual and other incentive compensation plans. As we use the term, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before net income tax benefit (expense), other non-operating income or expenses, net share of results of affiliates, net gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) due to changes in fair values of certain investments, net foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (a) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (b) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (c) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (1) readily view operating trends, (2) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (3) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. We believe our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA measure, which is a non-GAAP measure, is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted EBITDA of our Liberty Growth strategic platform and our Liberty Services strategic platform, together with our corporate functions, are each non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of income included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
- Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions: We define Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions, which is a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions on an accrual basis. Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions is a meaningful measure because it provides (i) a transparent view of Adjusted EBITDA that remains after our capital spend, which we believe is important to take into account when evaluating our overall performance and (ii) a comparable view of our performance relative to other telecommunications companies. Our Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions measure may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of similar measures. Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of income included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
- P&E Additions: Includes capital expenditures, including capitalized software, on an accrual basis, amounts financed under vendor financing or finance lease arrangements and other non-cash additions.
Adjusted EBITDA after leases (Adjusted EBITDAaL): We define Adjusted EBITDAaL as Adjusted EBITDA as further adjusted to include finance lease related depreciation and interest expense. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted EBITDAaL is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that includes recurring lease expenses necessary to operate our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDAaL, which is a non-GAAP measure, is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted EBITDAaL should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of income included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted FCF) & Distributable Cash Flow:
- Adjusted FCF: We define Adjusted FCF as net cash provided by 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. Net cash provided by operating activities of our continuing operations includes cash paid for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisition and dispositions of $2.2 million and $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, operating-related vendor financing additions represent operating-related expenses financed by an intermediary that are treated as constructive operating cash outflows and constructive financing cash inflows when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor. When the financing intermediary is paid, a financing cash outflow is recorded in the statements of cash flows. For purposes of Adjusted FCF, we (i) add in the constructive financing cash inflow when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor as our actual net cash available at that time is not affected and (ii) subsequently deduct the related financing cash outflow when we actually pay the financing intermediary, reflecting the actual reduction to our cash available to service debt or fund new investment opportunities.
- Distributable Cash Flow:We define Distributable Cash Flow as Adjusted FCF 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”).
- VodafoneZiggo Adjusted FCF: VodafoneZiggo defines Adjusted FCF as net cash provided by operating activities, plus (i) operating-related vendor financed expenses (which represents an increase in the period to 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) and (ii) interest payments on shareholder loans, less (a) cash payments in the period for capital expenditures (excluding spectrum payments), (b) principal payments on operating- and capital-related amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries (which represents a decrease in the period to 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 (c) principal payments on finance leases (which represents a decrease in the period to actual cash available).
We believe our presentation of Adjusted FCF, Distributable Cash Flow and VodafoneZiggo Adjusted FCF, 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 (i) service debt and (ii) 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, Distributable Cash Flow and VodafoneZiggo Adjusted FCF 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, Distributable Cash Flow and VodafoneZiggo Adjusted FCF 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, Distributable Cash Flow and VodafoneZiggo Adjusted FCF may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of Adjusted FCF or other similar measures.
ARPU: Average Revenue Per Unit is the average monthly subscription revenue per average fixed customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. ARPU per average fixed-line customer relationship is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from residential fixed and SOHO services by the average number of fixed-line customer relationships for the period. ARPU per average mobile subscriber is calculated by dividing mobile subscription revenue for the indicated period by the average number of mobile subscribers for the period. Unless otherwise indicated, ARPU per fixed customer relationship or mobile subscriber is not adjusted for currency impacts. ARPU per RGU refers to average monthly revenue per average RGU, which is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from residential and SOHO services for the indicated period, by the average number of the applicable RGUs for the period. Unless otherwise noted, ARPU in this release is considered to be ARPU per average fixed customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. Fixed-line customer relationships, mobile subscribers and RGUs of entities acquired during the period are normalized. In addition, for purposes of calculating the percentage change in ARPU on a rebased basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, we adjust the prior-year subscription revenue, fixed-line customer relationships, mobile subscribers and RGUs, as applicable, to reflect acquisitions, dispositions and FX on a comparable basis with the current year, consistent with how we calculate our rebased growth for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, as further described in the body of this release.
ARPU per Consumer Postpaid Mobile Subscriber: Our ARPU per consumer postpaid mobile subscriber calculation refers to the average monthly postpaid mobile subscription revenue per average consumer postpaid mobile subscriber and is calculated by dividing the average monthly postpaid mobile subscription revenue (excluding handset sales and late fees) for the indicated period, by the monthly average of the opening and closing balances of consumer postpaid mobile subscribers in service for the period.
Blended, fully-swapped debt borrowing cost (or WACD): The weighted average interest rate on our aggregate variable- and fixed-rate indebtedness (excluding finance leases and including vendor financing obligations), including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs. The weighted average interest rate calculation includes principal amounts outstanding associated with all of our secured and unsecured borrowings.
Broadband Subscriber: A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives internet services over our networks, or that we service through a partner network.
B2B: Business-to-Business.
Costs to capture: Costs to capture generally include incremental, third-party operating and capital related costs that are directly associated with integration activities, restructuring activities and certain other costs associated with aligning an acquiree to our business processes to derive synergies. These costs are necessary to combine the operations of a business being acquired (or joint venture being formed) with ours or are incidental to the acquisition. As a result, costs to capture may include certain (i) operating costs that are included in Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) capital-related costs that are included in property and equipment additions and Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions and (iii) certain integration-related restructuring expenses that are not included within Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA less P&E Additions. Given the achievement of synergies occurs over time, certain of our costs to capture are recurring by nature, and generally incurred within a few years of completing the transaction.
Customer Churn: The rate at which customers relinquish their subscriptions. The annual rolling average basis is calculated by dividing the number of disconnects during the preceding 12 months by the average number of customer relationships. For the purpose of computing churn, a disconnect is deemed to have occurred if the customer no longer receives any level of service from us and is required to return our equipment. A partial product downgrade, typically used to encourage customers to pay an outstanding bill and avoid complete service disconnection, is not considered to be disconnected for purposes of our churn calculations. Customers who move within our footprint and upgrades and downgrades between services are also excluded from the disconnect figures used in the churn calculation.
Fixed-Line Customer Relationships: The number of customers who receive at least one of our broadband, video or telephony services that we count as RGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. Fixed-Line Customer Relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two Fixed-Line Customer Relationships. We exclude mobile-only customers from Fixed-Line Customer Relationships.
Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC): Fixed-mobile convergence penetration represents the number of customers who subscribe to both a fixed broadband service and postpaid mobile telephony service, divided by the total number of customers who subscribe to our fixed broadband service.
Homes Passed: Homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to our networks without materially extending the distribution plant. Certain of our Homes Passed counts are based on census data that can change based on either revisions to the data or from new census results.
Homes Serviceable: As defined by VMO2, this includes homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to VMO2’s networks that are technologically capable of providing two-way services (including broadband, video and telephony services) or partner networks with which VMO2 has a service agreement, where customers can request and receive services, without materially extending the distribution plant. Certain of VMO2’s Homes Serviceable counts are based on census data that can change based on either revisions to the data or from new census results.
Liberty Growth: Represents certain investments in technology, media, sports and digital infrastructure companies that we view as scalable businesses. Our Liberty Growth strategic platform is included in the “all other category” in the 10-Q.
Liberty Services & Corporate: Includes our Liberty Services strategic platform and certain corporate activities, each of which is included in the “all other category” in the 10-Q. While certain of these functions provide services to investments included in our Liberty Growth strategic platform, we have not allocated these costs or cash flows in our internal management reporting or external disclosures.
Mobile Subscriber Count: For residential and business subscribers, the number of active SIM cards in service rather than services provided. For example, if a mobile subscriber has both a data and voice plan on a smartphone this would equate to one mobile subscriber. Alternatively, a subscriber who has a voice and data plan for a mobile handset and a data plan for a laptop would be counted as two mobile subscribers. In a number of countries, our mobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts. Customers who do not pay a recurring monthly fee are excluded from our mobile telephony subscriber counts after periods of inactivity ranging from 30 to 90 days, based on industry standards within the respective country. Prepaid mobile customers are excluded from the VMO2 JV’s and the VodafoneZiggo JV’s mobile subscriber counts after a period of inactivity of three months and nine months, respectively.
MVNO: Mobile Virtual Network Operator.
RGU: A Revenue Generating Unit is separately a Broadband Subscriber, Video Subscriber or Telephony Subscriber. A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residential customer subscribed to our broadband service, video service and fixed-line telephony service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. Total RGUs is the sum of Broadband, Video and Telephony Subscribers. RGUs generally are counted on a unique premises basis such that a given premise does not count as more than one RGU for any given service. On the other hand, if an individual receives one of our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual will count as two RGUs for that service. Each bundled broadband, video or telephony service is counted as a separate RGU regardless of the nature of any bundling discount or promotion. Non-paying subscribers are counted as subscribers during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers may choose to disconnect after their free service period. Services offered without charge on a long-term basis (e.g., VIP subscribers or free service to employees) generally are not counted as RGUs. We do not include subscriptions to mobile services in our externally reported RGU counts. In this regard, our RGU counts exclude our separately reported postpaid and prepaid mobile subscribers.
SIM: Subscriber Identification Module.
SOHO: Small or Home Office Subscribers.
Tech Framework: Our centrally-managed technology and innovation function (our T&I Function) provides, and allocates charges for, certain products and services to our consolidated reportable segments (the Tech Framework). These products and services include CPE hardware and related essential software, maintenance, hosting and other services. Our consolidated reportable segments capitalize the combined cost of the CPE hardware and essential software as property and equipment additions and the corresponding amounts charged by our T&I Function are reflected as revenue when earned.
Telephony Subscriber: A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives voice services over our networks, or that we service through a partner network. Telephony Subscribers exclude mobile telephony subscribers.
Video Subscriber: A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives our video service over our broadband network or through a partner network.
