Notes:

1     We define Operating Cash Flow as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of assets, if any. See Table 4 for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

 

2     Earnings per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.

 

3     We define Free Cash Flow as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (as stated in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures, cash paid for intangible assets, principal payments on capital leases and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests; and adjusted for any payments and receipts related to certain nonoperating items, net of estimated tax benefits.  The definition of Free Cash Flow excludes any impact from Economic Stimulus packages.  These amounts have been excluded from Free Cash Flow to provide an appropriate comparison. See Table 4 for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

 

4     Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, certain operations and businesses including several strategic business initiatives that were previously presented in Corporate, Other and Eliminations are now presented in our Cable Communications segment to reflect a change in our management reporting presentation. For segment reporting purposes, we have adjusted all periods presented to reflect this change.

 

5     Pro forma information is presented for the acquisition of the 51% interest of Universal Studios Japan. See Table 6 for more detailed information.

 

All percentages are calculated on whole numbers. Minor differences may exist due to rounding.

(1)   Nonoperating items include adjustments for cash taxes paid related to certain investing and financing transactions and to reflect cash taxes paid in the year of the related taxable income. Our definition of Free Cash Flow specifically excludes any impact from the Economic Stimulus Packages and these amounts are presented separately. Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities for 2016 includes a $146 million payment for the settlement of a tax receivable agreement immediately after the DreamWorks acquisition. For Free Cash Flow purposes, we consider this payment to be nonrecurring in nature and therefore, we excluded this amount from Free Cash Flow as a nonoperating item.

 

(2)   Cash taxes on operating items (including Economic Stimulus Packages) has been adjusted to include the impact of excess tax benefits under share-based compensation arrangements and to exclude the impact of nonoperating items. Nonoperating items include adjustments for cash taxes paid related to certain investing and financing transactions and to reflect cash taxes paid in the year of the related taxable income. Our definition of Free Cash Flow specifically excludes any impact from the Economic Stimulus Packages and these amounts are presented separately.

(3)   Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2016 includes a $146 million decrease in August 2016 resulting from a payment for the settlement of a tax receivable agreement immediately after the DreamWorks acquisition. For Free Cash Flow purposes, we consider this payment to be nonrecurring in nature and therefore, we excluded the amount from Free Cash Flow. Because the amount has no impact on Free Cash Flow, it is not included in the changes in operating assets and liabilities for this presentation.

(1) Pro Forma information is presented as if the acquisition of the 51% interest of Universal Studios Japan occurred January 1, 2014. Pro forma data does not include adjustments for transaction-related costs, costs related to integration activities, or cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved by the combined businesses. The pro forma amounts are based on historical results of operations and are subject to change as valuations are finalized. Pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what our results would have been had we operated Universal Studios Japan since January 1, 2014, nor of our future results.

 

(2) As reported results for Theme Parks and total NBCUniversal for 2015 have been adjusted for the change in NBCUniversal’s method of accounting for a contractual obligation that involves an interest held by a third party in the revenue of certain theme parks. As a result of the change, the amounts that are payable based on current period revenue are now presented in operating costs and expenses, rather than other income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of income. The change was effective beginning in the 4th quarter of 2015 and for segment reporting purposes we also adjusted prior periods to reflect management reporting presentation of such amounts on a consistent basis.
