    Liquidation value of preferred stock. Preferred stock has a 7% coupon, $25 per 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 $95 million in the third quarter primarily due to proceeds from Charter share sales. GCI cash was flat in the third quarter as cash from operations were offset by capital expenditures (net of grant proceeds) and net debt repayment.

    Liberty Broadband debt was relatively flat in the third quarter as net debt issuance at Liberty Broadband offset net debt repayment at GCI. On July 2, 2024, Liberty Broadband closed a private offering of $860 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2054 and used net proceeds to repay $540 million of borrowings under the Charter margin loan, leaving $1.15 billion of available capacity under the Charter margin loan, and also repurchased $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2053. GCI repaid $20 million under its senior credit facility in the third quarter. As of September 30, 2024, GCI's credit facility has undrawn capacity of $367 million (net of letters of credit), and GCI's leverage as defined in its credit agreement is 3.1x.

    See reconciling schedule 1.

    b)

    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 September 30, 2024 include 900 subscribers that were reclassified from GCI Business to GCI Consumer subscribers in the first quarter of 2024 and are not new additions.

    c)

    A wireless line in service is defined as a wireless device with a monthly fee for services. Wireless lines in service as of September 30, 2024 include 1,800 lines that were reclassified from GCI Business to GCI Consumer lines in the first quarter of 2024 and are not new additions.

    Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares financial information for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the same period in 2023.

    GCI revenue increased 9% in the third quarter. Consumer revenue increased 2% driven by growth in data revenue. Business revenue increased 16% driven by a strong upgrade cycle in schools and healthcare corporations in remote Alaska.

    Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA increased $12 million and $11 million, respectively, in the third quarter in line with higher revenue, partially offset by increased operating and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses grew driven by higher distribution costs to healthcare, education and consumer customers. Selling, general and administrative expenses grew due to increases in labor-related and software subscription costs, partially offset by lower lease expense.

    In the third quarter, GCI spent $39 million, net, on capital expenditures. Capital expenditure spending was related primarily to improvements to the wireless and data networks in rural Alaska. GCI's net capital expenditures for the full year 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.

    Important Notice: Liberty Broadband (NASDAQ:LBRDA, LBRDK, LBRDP)) will discuss Liberty Broadband's earnings release on a conference call which will begin at 11:15 a.m. (E.T.) on November 7, 2024. The call can be accessed by dialing (877) 407-3944 or (412) 902-0038, passcode 13744090, 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, the proposed transaction with Charter and its expected benefits, 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 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 Forms 10-K and 10-Q, 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, transaction costs, 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 months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024.
