Revenue

Total Revenue from continuing operations was $180.5 million and $704.9 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, up $2.2 million and down $20.8 million as compared to the corresponding periods in 2021.

Total Subscription Revenue from continuing operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 was $163.1 million and $648.7 million, down $2.0 million, or 1%, and $23.3 million, or 3%, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. The decreases were primarily driven by a shift in service offering mix, as we continue to experience a reduction in Video and Telephony RGUs. These decreases were partially offset by increases in average revenue per unit ("ARPU"), as HSD customers continue to purchase higher speed tiers, as well as HSD and Video rate increases.

Other Business Services Revenue from continuing operations totaled $5.1 million and $21.2 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, down $0.3 million, or 6%, and $1.1 million, or 5%, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. These decreases were primarily due to decreases in data center revenue.

Other Revenue from continuing operations totaled $12.3 million and $35.0 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, up $4.5 million, or 58%, and $3.6 million, or 11%, compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. The increases are primarily related to a one-time receipt of government grant revenue.

Costs and Expenses

Operating Expenses (excluding Depreciation and Amortization) from continuing operations totaled $77.6 million and $327.0 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, down $11.9 million, or 13%, and $49.4 million, or 13%, compared to the corresponding periods in 2021 primarily due to lower direct operating expenses and decreases in call center and cash compensation related expenses.

Selling, General, and Administrative expenses from continuing operations totaled $48.1 million and $165.4 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, up $5.7 million, or 13%, and down $9.8 million, or 6%, compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. The increase for the quarter-to-date period is primarily associated with an increase in restructuring costs related to employee severance charges and stock compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in debt refinancing costs. The decrease for the year-to-date period is primarily attributable to decreases in costs associated with digital transformation initiatives, debt refinancing and marketing expenses, partially offset by increases in restructuring costs related to employee severance charges and stock compensation expense.

Net (Loss) Income

Net (Loss) Income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 was ($12.7) million and ($2.5) million, compared to $230.6 million and $770.5 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. The net profit margin was (7.0)% and (0.4)% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to a net profit margin of 119.7% and 74.5% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA Post Asset Sale

Adjusted EBITDA Post Asset Sale for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 was $74.6 million and $280.1 million, an increase of $5.6 million and $18.5 million, compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA Margin Post Asset Sale was 41.3% and 39.7% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 38.7% and 36.0% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

Subscribers

WOW! reported Total Subscribers from continuing operations of 530,600 as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of 2,300 compared to December 31, 2021, down 7,500 compared to September 30, 2022. HSD RGUs totaled 511,600 as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of 100 compared to December 31, 2021, down 7,000 compared to September 30, 2022.

Edge-Outs

Edge-Out Projects from continuing operations reached a total of 81,100 homes passed and 20,300 Subscribers since inception.

The 2020 Edge-Out projects from continuing operations include 800 Subscribers, which represents 23.5% penetration on such nodes.

Capital Expenditures

Capital Expenditures from continuing operations totaled $167.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a $4.9 million, or 3%, increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily related to an increase in line extensions as we focus on expanding our network through our greenfield initiatives, partially offset by decreases in support capital and customer premise equipment ("CPE") expenditures. Core Capital Expenditures, or total capital expenditures excluding expansion capital expenditures, equated to 18% of Total Revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Leverage

As of December 31, 2022, the total outstanding amount of long-term debt and finance lease obligations was $742.7 million, and cash and cash equivalents were $31.0 million.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 3, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $50 million of shares of its common stock over an eighteen-month period. WOW! may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The authorization expires on May 3, 2024, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of shares of common stock. WOW repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares for $12.3 million during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Although these forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith belief and reasonable judgment based on current information, these statements are qualified by important factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ materially are set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other reports subsequently filed with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA. These terms, as defined herein, are not intended to be considered in isolation, 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"). These terms may vary from the use of similar terms by other companies in our industry due to different methods of calculation and therefore are not necessarily comparable.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to overall business performance and is defined by WOW! as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (including impairments), impairment losses on intangibles and goodwill, write-off of any asset, loss on early extinguishment of debt, integration and restructuring expenses and all non-cash charges and expenses (including stock compensation expense) and certain other income and expenses. 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 Post Asset Sale takes into account the 2021 sales of five service areas as though such transactions had occurred prior to the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin Post Asset Sale is defined as Adjusted EBITDA Post Asset Sale divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as an alternative to Net Profit margin.

Refer to "Reconciliations of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures" and the accompanying tables below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income which is the most directly comparable to their corresponding GAAP financial measure.

Subscriber Information

The Company uses the terms defined below throughout this release.

Homes passed are reported 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.

We deliver multiple services to our customers, as such 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.
