Revenue
On a reported basis, for the year ended December 31, 2018, Total Revenue
decreased 2.9% to $1.154 billion compared to the year ended December 31,
2017. Total Revenue Including Acquisitions and Dispositions decreased
1.2% to $1.159 billion compared to the year ended 2017, which was driven
primarily by Video and Telephony RGU losses, partially offset by
increases in ARPU, HSD RGU growth and Business Services Subscription
Revenue growth.
On a reported basis, Total Subscription Revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2018, was $1.063 billion. Residential Subscription Revenue,
as reported, was $933.3 million, and Business Services Subscription
Revenue, as reported, totaled $129.5 million. Adjusting for the impact
of Hurricane Michael, Residential Subscription Revenue, Including
Acquisitions and Dispositions, for the year ended December 31, 2018,
totaled $937.2 million. Business Services Subscription Revenue,
Including Acquisitions and Dispositions, increased $16.1 million, or
14.0%, compared with the year ended December 31, 2017.
Other Business Services Revenue totaled $28.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2018, down $11.8 million compared to the year ended
December 31, 2017, primarily due to decreased Revenue generated by
network construction activities associated with the Chicago network sale
to a subsidiary of Verizon.
Other Revenue totaled $62.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2018, down $45.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2017,
primarily due to the reclassification of Franchise Fees to Video
Subscription Revenue.
Costs and Expenses
Operating Expenses (excluding Depreciation and Amortization) totaled
$619.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Selling, General,
and Administrative expenses were $154.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2018, was $(90.6) million,
compared to Net Income of $184.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2017. Net Loss Per Share for the year ended December 31, 2018, was
$(1.11), compared to Diluted Earnings Per Share of $2.34 for the year
ended December 31, 2017. The year-over-year decline in Net Income is
attributable to an increase in the Impairment Losses on Intangibles and
Goodwill, Gain on Sale of Verizon and Lawrence in 2017, and corporate
tax reform in 2017. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share for the year
ended December 31, 2018, was $1.31.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $409.7 million.
Excluding the impact of Hurricane Michael, Transaction Adjusted EBITDA
totaled $415.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, at the
mid-point of our guidance range. Transaction Adjusted EBITDA for the
three months ended December 31, 2018, was $110.6 million, an increase of
5.5% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017. Transaction
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 38.0% for the three months ended December 31,
2018, an increase of over 190 basis points compared to the three months
ended December 31, 2017.

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated
Financial Statements
As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 7, 2019,
the Company has restated its previously issued financial statements as
of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, as well as
unaudited quarterly financial information for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2017, and the first three quarters of 2018, in the 2018
Annual Report on Form 10-K and will be reporting a material weakness in
internal controls over financial reporting relating to complex tax
transactions involving partnership interests as of December 31, 2018, as
a result of such restatement.
Background
On May 1, 2006, an agreement and plan of merger (the “2006 Merger
Transaction”) was consummated whereby proceeds from new equity and debt
financing were utilized by Racecar Acquisition, LLC to indirectly
acquire 100% of the outstanding ownership interests of WideOpenWest,
Inc. and the other existing Members at that time (collectively, the
“Members”) of WOW Finance, LLC (“WOW Finance”) from the Company’s
previous ultimate Parent company, WideOpenWest Holdings, LLC.
As part of preparing its 2018 consolidated financial statements, the
Company identified past errors in the accounting for deferred income tax
liabilities and goodwill that resulted from the 2006 Merger Transaction.
Specifically, the Company identified a past error in that a
distribution, which occurred as part of the 2006 Merger Transaction, was
not properly reflected as a reduction to the Members’ outside tax basis
in WOW Finance, which resulted in an understatement of deferred income
tax liabilities and goodwill of $97.8 million at the time of the 2006
Merger Transaction. The above resulted in an understatement of both
goodwill and stockholders’ equity totaling $97.8 million in the
Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.
Following the 2006 Merger Transaction, WOW Finance continued as a
partnership for tax purposes until 2016, at which point the
Restructuring occurred creating a change in tax status for WOW Finance.
Upon the change in tax status, the Members were deemed to have exchanged
the deferred tax liability associated with their investment in WOW
Finance for separate deferred tax positions in the underlying assets and
liabilities of WOW Finance. As a result of the above, the Company
determined that the deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax expense
associated with its remeasurement of its interest in WOW Finance at the
time of the 2016 Restructuring was incorrectly calculated as it was
based upon the incorrect outside tax basis calculation made at the time
of the 2006 Merger Transaction. The correction of the error resulted in
increases to non-cash deferred tax expense and deferred tax liabilities
of $59.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
For 2017, the change to the deferred tax liabilities caused by the
aforementioned error required revaluation due to the effects of the 2017
Tax Act. This impact, along with further insignificant income tax errors
in the recorded tax effects related to the remeasurement of the
previously held interest in WOW Finance, resulted in a required
correction to decrease non-cash deferred tax expense and deferred tax
liabilities by $24.7 million, resulting in increases to the Company’s
net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2017.
As part of its review and assessment of the deferred income tax matter
described above, the Company identified a past error in the allocation
of goodwill at the time of the 2006 Merger Transaction. Specifically,
goodwill was allocated in a manner consistent with the partnership
agreement for the allocation of profits and losses to the Members, but
not recorded and tested at the reporting unit level. Historically, the
Company has had an excess of estimated fair value over carrying value of
goodwill in the reporting units which were eventually impacted and as
such, a quantitative impairment analysis was not required. Accordingly,
the error was not discovered until further investigation of the deferred
income tax matter discussed above. In order to correct the allocation
error, the Company reallocated goodwill among reporting units in
accordance with the reporting unit methodology in place at 2006. This
correction resulted in a decrease in the impairment charge recorded
during the first quarter of 2018 by $40.1 million, which is reflected in
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2018. See the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K filing for additional details.
Impacts
The above described historical errors from the 2006 Merger Transaction
affected reported 2016 and 2017 calculations of non-cash deferred tax
expense, first quarter of 2018 calculations of non-cash impairment
charges to goodwill, and reported balances of goodwill, deferred tax
liabilities and stockholders’ equity during the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The cumulative impacts of the above
described historical errors on the Company’s balance sheet as of
December 31, 2018, prior to giving effect to the restatements, are
understatements of goodwill of approximately $138.0 million, deferred
tax liabilities of approximately $41.0 million and stockholders’ equity
of approximately $97.0 million. Accordingly, all financial information
referred to herein has been adjusted to reflect the effects of the
restatements.
The effects of these corrections to impacted financial statement line
items for fiscal year 2017 are as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this
release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our
financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future
performance and business. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of future performance and we caution you not to place undue reliance on
such statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable
by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “continue,” or the negative
of these words, or other similar words or terms. The forward-looking
statements included in this release are made as of the date hereof. We
assume no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
even if new information becomes available in the future or if experience
or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or
implied in such statements will not be realized. If we do update one or
more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we
will make additional updates with respect to those or other
forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from
those expected because of various risks and uncertainties, many of which
are beyond our control, including the wide range of competition we face
in our business; competitors that are larger and possess more resources;
dependence upon a business services strategy; conditions in the economy,
including potentially uncertain economic conditions; our ability to
secure new businesses as customers; demand for our bundled broadband
communications services may be lower than we expect; our ability to
respond to rapid technological change; increases in programming and
retransmission costs; a decline in advertising revenues; the effects of
regulatory changes in our business; our substantial level of
indebtedness; certain covenants in our debt documents; programming
exclusivity in favor of our competitors; inability to obtain necessary
hardware, software and operational support; strain on business and
resources from future acquisitions, or the inability to identify
suitable acquisitions; the occurrence of natural disasters, including
hurricanes, in one or more of our geographic markets; potential negative
reactions to our restatement and other factors that are described from
time to time in our filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements
are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Operating
Metrics
We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release,
including total Revenue Including Acquisitions and Dispositions,
residential subscription Revenue Including Acquisitions and
Dispositions, Business Services Subscription Revenue Including
Acquisitions and Dispositions, Adjusted EBITDA, Transaction Adjusted
EBITDA, Transaction Adjusted Capital Expenditures, Adjusted Diluted EPS,
and Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow. The presentation of these
financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America (“GAAP”).
We believe that these non-GAAP measures enhance an investor’s
understanding of our financial performance. We believe that these
non-GAAP measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating
performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we
believe are not representative of our core business. We believe that
these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful information for
assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate
cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to
undertake Capital Expenditures. We use these non-GAAP measures for
business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to
that of our competitors. We believe these non-GAAP measures are measures
commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our
competitors.
Total Revenue Including Acquisitions and Dispositions, Residential
Subscription Revenue Including Acquisitions and Dispositions, Business
Services Subscription Revenue Including Acquisitions and Dispositions,
and Transaction Adjusted Capital Expenditures give effect to certain
acquisitions and divestitures made by WOW!, the reimbursement of Chicago
Fiber asset build, exclude the effects associated with Hurricane Michael
and are included herein because they are key metrics used by management
and our Board of Directors to assess our financial performance. We
believe that these non-GAAP measures are appropriate measures of
operating performance because they are meaningful to investors by
showing how certain acquisitions and divestitures might have affected
our historical financial statements as well as adjustments associated
with Hurricane Michael. The presentation of these measures is not made
in accordance with GAAP and our use of these terms herein varies from
the use of similar terms by other companies in our industry due to
different methods of calculation and therefore are not necessarily
comparable. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an
alternative to revenue, capital expenditures or any other performance
measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating
performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a key metric used by
management and our Board of Directors to assess our financial
performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure
of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses
that do not relate to business performance, and that the presentation of
this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial
performance. Transaction Adjusted EBITDA makes certain additional
adjustments to the historical financial information that WOW! believes
is meaningful to investors by showing how certain acquisitions and
divestitures might have affected WOW!’s historical financial statements
as well as adjustments associated with the Hurricane Michael.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by WOW! as net income (loss) before net
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (including
impairments), impairment losses on intangibles and goodwill, management
fees to related party, the write-up or write-off of any asset, loss on
early extinguishment of debt, integration and restructuring expenses and
all non-cash charges and expenses (including equity based compensation
expense) and certain other income and expenses. Transaction Adjusted
EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to the impact of
acquisitions and dispositions that were completed during the relevant
periods as if they occurred at the beginning of the period presented as
well as adjustments associated with Hurricane Michael. The presentation
of Adjusted EBITDA and Transaction Adjusted EBITDA is not made in
accordance with GAAP and our use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA and
Transaction Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA and Transaction Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered
as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of
operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA and Transaction Adjusted EBITDA have important
limitations as analytical tools. For example, adjusted EBITDA and
Transaction Adjusted EBITDA:
-
exclude certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash
available to us;
-
do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the
assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in
the future;
-
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
capital needs; and
-
do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on
our debt.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) is included herein because it
is a key metric used by management and our Board of Directors to assess
our financial performance. Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial
measure that eliminates the effect of management fees to related party,
loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on sale of assets,
impairment losses on intangibles and goodwill, non-recurring
professional fees, M&A integration and restructuring expense, non-cash
stock compensation, expenses associated with Hurricane Michael and other
(income) and expenses. We then add or subtract an estimated incremental
income tax effect applicable to those items. We believe that this
measurement is useful to investors as an additional way to analyze the
underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods
presented.
The presentation of Adjusted Diluted EPS is not made in accordance with
GAAP and our use of the term Adjusted Diluted EPS herein varies from the
use of similar terms by other companies in our industry due to different
methods of calculation and is not necessarily comparable. Adjusted
Diluted EPS should not be considered as an alternative to Diluted EPS or
any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as
measures of operating performance.
See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures”
and the accompanying tables below for a reconciliation of adjusted
EBITDA to our Net Income (Loss), which is the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings Per
Share to Diluted Earnings Per Share, which is the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure.
Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow is included herein because it is a
key metric used by management and our Board of Directors to assess our
financial performance. We define Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow as
Net cash flows provided by operating activities less Transaction
Adjusted Capital Expenditures. We believe that Transaction Adjusted Free
Cash Flow is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it
is meaningful to investors because it presents the cash generated or
used by the business in a given period, and that the presentation of
this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial
performance.
The presentation of Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not made in
accordance with GAAP and our use of the term Transaction Adjusted Free
Cash Flow herein varies from the use of similar terms by other companies
in our industry due to different methods of calculation and is not
necessarily comparable. Transaction Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not
be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance
measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating
performance.
In addition, we use the following subscriber information in this release:
-
Homes Passed – We report homes passed as
the number of serviceable addresses, such as single residence homes,
apartments and condominium units, and businesses passed by our
broadband network and listed in our database.
-
Subscribers – Because we deliver multiple
services to our customers, we report Total Subscribers as the number
of Subscribers who receive at least one of our HSD, Video or Telephony
services, without regard to which or how many services they subscribe.
We define each of the individual HSD Subscribers, Video Subscribers
and Telephony Subscribers as a Revenue generating unit (“RGU”).
While we take appropriate steps to ensure subscriber information is
presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet
date, we periodically review our policies in light of the variability we
may encounter across our different markets due to the nature and pricing
of products and services and billing systems. Accordingly, we may from
time to time make appropriate adjustments to our subscriber information
based on such reviews.

See “Unaudited Transaction Adjusted Condensed Consolidated Financial
and Subscriber Information” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to Transaction Adjusted EBITDA for the respective quarters
giving effect the divestiture of a portion of our Chicago Fiber
Network in December 2017, our divestiture of the Lawrence, Kansas,
system in January 2017 and the impact of Hurricane Michael in
October 2018, as if such transactions had been completed at the
beginning of the respective periods presented.

The income tax impacts are determined using the applicable rates in
the taxing jurisdictions in which expense or income occurred and
includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit)
based on the nature of the non-GAAP performance measure.

Unaudited Transaction Adjusted Condensed
Consolidated Financial and Subscriber Information
The SEC requires that pro forma financial information be presented in a
registrant’s periodic filings when events occur for which disclosure
would be material to investors, including significant business
combinations or the disposition of a significant portion of the
business. The significance of an acquired or disposed business is
determined based on the “significant subsidiary” tests specified in
Regulation S-X, Article 11, Rule 1-02(w). Although the Company has made
certain acquisitions and divestitures, such transactions do not meet the
“significant subsidiary” tests and, accordingly, the Company’s
historical financial information as filed with the SEC does not contain
pro forma financial information relating to those transactions.
Nevertheless, we make certain adjustments in this release to the
historical financial and subscriber information of the Company as filed
with the SEC (“Transaction Adjusted”) because we believe such
information would be meaningful to investors by showing how such
transactions might have affected the Company’s historical financial
statements. The unaudited Transaction Adjusted financial and subscriber
information in this release has been prepared giving effect to the
divestiture of a portion of our Chicago Fiber Network in December 2017,
and our divestiture of the Lawrence, Kansas system in 2017 and the
impact of Hurricane Michael in October 2018, as if such transactions had
been completed at the beginning of the respective periods presented. The
unaudited Transaction Adjusted financial and subscriber information is
for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what
our results of operations, financial or subscriber information would
have been if such transactions had occurred at any date, nor does such
information purport to project the results of operations for any future
period.
The unaudited Transaction Adjusted condensed consolidated financial and
subscriber information in this release was prepared based on our books
and records for the respective periods presented for the Lawrence,
Kansas system, the portion of the Chicago Fiber Network that was
divested, and the impact of Hurricane Michael in October 2018. Such
historical unaudited financial and subscriber information has been
adjusted to give a Transaction Adjusted effect to events that are
directly attributable to such transactions, factually supportable and
expected to have a continuing impact on the results. The unaudited
Transaction Adjusted financial information herein does not reflect
non-recurring charges that have been incurred in connection with the
transaction including legal fees, broker fees and accounting fees.
The following table provides an unaudited reconciliation of our
residential subscription revenue to residential subscription revenue
including Acquisitions and Dispositions, business services subscription
revenue to business services subscription revenue including Acquisitions
and Dispositions, Total Revenue to Total Revenue including Acquisitions
and Dispositions, Adjusted EBITDA to Transaction Adjusted EBITDA and
Capital Expenditures to Transaction Adjusted Capital Expenditures for
