USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
16
In discussing its performance, the Company may use certain measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  These
measures include OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures, Adjusted net income attributable to TWC shareholders, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow, which the
Company defines as follows:
paid on investment sales and (ii) any excess tax benefit from equity-based compensation, less (i) capital expenditures, (ii) cash paid for other intangible assets (excluding those associated with
business combinations), (iii) partnership distributions to third parties and (iv) principal payments on capital leases.
Management uses OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business because they eliminate the effects of (i) considerable amounts of
noncash depreciation and amortization and (ii) items not within the control of the Company’s operations managers (such as income tax provision, other income (expense), net, and interest expense,
net).  Adjusted OIBDA further eliminates the effects of certain noncash items identified in the definition of Adjusted OIBDA above.  Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures also allows
management to evaluate performance including the effect of capital spending decisions.  Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures are also significant performance measures
used in the Company’s annual incentive compensation programs.  Adjusted net income attributable to TWC shareholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS are considered important indicators of the
operational strength of the Company as these measures eliminate amounts that do not reflect the fundamental performance of the Company. The Company utilizes Adjusted Diluted EPS, among
other measures, to evaluate its performance both on an absolute basis and relative to its peers and the broader market.   Management believes that Free Cash Flow is an important indicator of the
Company’s ability to generate cash, reduce net debt, pay dividends, repurchase common stock and make strategic investments, after the payment of cash taxes, interest and other cash items.  In 
addition, all of these measures are commonly used by analysts, investors and others in evaluating the Company’s performance and liquidity.
These measures have inherent limitations.  For example, OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA do not reflect capital expenditures or the periodic costs of certain capitalized assets used in generating
revenue.  To compensate for such limitations, management evaluates performance through Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures and Free Cash Flow, which reflect capital expenditure
decisions, and net income attributable to TWC shareholders, which reflects the periodic costs of capitalized assets.  Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures do not reflect
any of the items noted as exclusions in the definition of Adjusted OIBDA above.  To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates performance through OIBDA and net income
attributable to TWC shareholders, which do reflect such items.  OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures also fail to reflect the significant costs borne by the Company
for income taxes and debt servicing costs, the results of the Company’s equity investments and other non-operational income or expense.  Additionally, Adjusted net income attributable to TWC
shareholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of the Company and they involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating
performance.  Management compensates for these limitations by using other analytics such as a review of net income attributable to TWC shareholders.  Free Cash Flow, a liquidity measure, does
not reflect payments made in connection with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity.  To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates such investments and acquisitions
through other measures such as return on investment analyses.
These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, the Company’s Operating Income, net income attributable to TWC shareholders and various cash flow
measures (e.g., cash provided by operating activities), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies.
