(2)	During the second quarter of 2022, Cable One divested its Tallahassee, Florida system and certain other non-core assets (collectively, the "Divested Operations"). The results discussed and presented in the tables within this press release exclude the Divested Operations from their respective divestiture dates.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results Compared to First Quarter 2022

Revenues decreased $4.8 million, or 1.1%, to $421.9 million for the first quarter of 2023 due primarily to decreases in residential video and residential voice revenues, partially offset by an increase in residential data revenues. Year-over-year business services revenues were essentially flat. Business services revenues for the first quarter of 2022 included $2.4 million from the Divested Operations.

Net income was $57.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $171.5 million in the prior year quarter. Net income for the first quarter of 2023 reflected interest expense of $41.2 million, an $11.1 million increase year-over-year, and income tax expense of $22.3 million, a $19.2 million decrease year-over-year. Net income for the first quarter of 2023 also included a $12.3 million non-cash mark-to-market gain on the investment in Point Broadband Holdings, LLC and an $8.0 million non-cash loss on fair value adjustment associated with the call and put options to acquire the remaining equity interests in Mega Broadband Investments Holdings LLC (the "MBI Net Option"). Net income for the first quarter of 2022 included an $84.6 million non-cash gain on fair value adjustment associated with the MBI Net Option fair value adjustment and a $22.1 million non-cash gain associated with the Company's contribution of certain fiber operations to Clearwave Fiber LLC, a joint venture amongst the Company and certain unaffiliated third-party investors. Net profit margin was 13.6% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 40.2% in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $228.8 million and $226.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 reflected lower programming expenses as a result of video customer losses, and decreased marketing and health insurance costs. The decrease is partially offset by higher labor and other compensation- related expenses, software costs and property taxes. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 54.2% in the first quarter of 2023 from 53.1% in the prior year quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $161.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $188.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, driven by higher interest and tax payments and the timing of working capital changes. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $96.1 million compared to $99.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2023 was $132.7 million compared to $127.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $202.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand compared to $215.2 million at December 31, 2022. The Company's debt balance was approximately $3.8 billion at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company had $488.0 million of borrowings and $512.0 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2023.

On February 22, 2023, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of commitments under its revolving credit facility by $500.0 million to $1.0 billion; (ii) extend the scheduled maturity of its revolving credit facility from October 2025 to February 2028; (iii) upsize the outstanding principal amount under its $625.0 million original principal term loan maturing in 2027 (the "Term Loan B-3") by $150.0 million to $757.0 million; (iv) extend the scheduled maturities of its $250.0 million term loan maturing in 2027 (the "Term Loan B-2") and the Term Loan B-3 from October 2027 to October 2029 (subject to certain adjustments); and (v) transition the benchmark interest rate for its revolving credit facility, the Term Loan B-2 and the Term Loan B-3 from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment. The variable interest rate spread on the Company's revolving credit facility remained unchanged while the fixed spreads on the Term Loan B-2 and the Term Loan B-3 increased from 2.00% to 2.25%. Except as described above, the New Credit Agreement did not make any material changes to the principal terms of its revolving credit facility or its term loans. Upon the effectiveness of the New Credit Agreement, the Company drew $488.0 million under its revolving credit facility and, together with the net proceeds from the upsized Term Loan B-3, repaid all $638.3 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding term "A-2" loan tranche that was scheduled to mature on October 30, 2025.

Additional Information Available on Website

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, which will be posted on the "SEC Filings" section of the Cable One Investor Relations website at ir.cableone.net when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Investors and others interested in more information about Cable One should consult the Company's website, which is regularly updated with financial and other important information about the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as superior to, or as a substitute for, net income, net profit margin, net cash provided by operating activities or capital expenditures as a percentage of net income reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are reconciled to net income, Adjusted EBITDA margin is reconciled to net profit margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to capital expenditures as a percentage of net income. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is also reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities. These reconciliations are included in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" tables within this press release.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, (gain) loss on deferred compensation, acquisition-related costs, (gain) loss on asset sales and disposals, system conversion costs, (gain) loss on sale of business, equity method investment (income) loss, other (income) expense and other unusual items, as provided in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" tables within this press release. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital- intensive nature of the Company's business as well as other non-cash or special items and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. This measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the Company's cash cost of debt financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

"Adjusted EBITDA margin" is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

"Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures," when used as a liquidity measure, is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the impact of capital expenditures, interest expense, income tax provision, changes in operating assets and liabilities, change in deferred income taxes and other unusual items, as provided in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" tables within this press release.

"Capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as capital expenditures divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to assess its performance, and it also uses Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures as an indicator of its ability to fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the measure used in the leverage ratio calculations under the Company's credit agreement and the indenture governing the Company's non-convertible senior unsecured notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the credit agreement and the ability to take certain actions under the indenture governing the non-convertible senior unsecured notes. Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are also significant performance measures used by the Company in its incentive compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account cash used for mandatory debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures, and thus does not represent residual funds available for discretionary uses.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is useful to investors as it shows the Company's performance while taking into account cash outflows for capital expenditures and is one of several indicators of the Company's ability to service debt, make investments and/or return capital to its stockholders.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures with similar titles are common measures used by investors, analysts and peers to compare performance in the Company's industry, although the Company's measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
