Reconciling Schedules We evaluate performance and make decisions about allocating resources to our operating segments based on financial measures such as Adjusted OIBDA. We define Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less programming costs, production and acquisition costs, home video cost of sales, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Our chief operating decision maker uses this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our operating segments’ performance and make decisions about allocating resources among our operating segments. We believe that Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our operating segments, including each operating segment’s ability to assist in servicing our debt and to fund investments in films and television programs. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between operating segments and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes stock compensation and depreciation and amortization that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, income before income taxes, net income, net cash provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less investment in property and equipment. Free cash flow is an important metric as it represents the cash that Starz is able to generate after funding operating activities and capital expenditures which can be used to pursue new opportunities, reduce debt or repurchase shares. The information shown in Schedule 1 provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to operating income and free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP for periods reflected.
