Englewood, Colorado, February 17, 2023 – Liberty Broadband Corporation ("Liberty Broadband") (Nasdaq: LBRDA, LBRDK, LBRDP) today reported fourth quarter and year end 2022 results.

We are pleased to welcome Chris Winfrey's leadership and believe these initiatives will drive value for customers and shareholders," said Greg Maffei, Liberty Broadband President & CEO.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Represents fair value of the investment in Charter as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022. A portion of the Charter equity securities are considered covered shares and subject to certain contractual restrictions in accordance with the indemnification obligation, as described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Principal amount of Senior Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) Includes the Wells Fargo Note Payable and current and long-term obligations under tower obligations and finance leases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) As defined in GCI's credit agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) Principal amount of Senior Exchangeable Debentures exclusive of fair market value adjustments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) Indemnity to Qurate Retail, Inc. ("Qurate Retail"), pursuant to an indemnification agreement (the "indemnification agreement"), with respect to the Liberty Interactive LLC ("LI LLC") 1.75% exchangeable debentures due 2046 (the "LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures"), as described below. LI LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) Liquidation value of preferred stock. Preferred stock has a 7% coupon, $25/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 $172 million in the fourth quarter as proceeds from Charter share sales more than offset share repurchases in the period. GCI cash increased $48 million in the fourth quarter as cash from operations and grant proceeds received in the fourth quarter more than offset capital expenditures.

Liberty Broadband debt remained flat in the fourth quarter. There is $900 million of available capacity under the Charter margin loan. GCI's credit facility has undrawn capacity of $397 million (net of letters of credit), and GCI's leverage as defined in its credit agreement is 2.8x.

Liberty Broadband has an indemnification agreement with Qurate Retail with respect to the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, Liberty Broadband will be required to indemnify LI LLC for any payments made to a holder of such debentures that exercises its exchange right on or before the put/call date of October 5, 2023 in excess of the sum of the adjusted principal amount of such debentures plus certain estimated tax benefits to Qurate Retail, if any, resulting from the exchange. This indemnity is supported by a negative pledge in favor of Qurate Retail on the reference shares of Class A common stock of Charter held at Liberty Broadband that underlie the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures. The indemnification obligation on Liberty Broadband's balance sheet is valued based on the estimated exchange feature in the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures. As of December 31, 2022, holders of the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures have the ability to exchange their debentures on October 5, 2023, and accordingly, the indemnification obligation is classified as a current liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes a $29 million legal settlement accrual recognized in the second and third quarters of 2022 related to discussions and settlement offers that GCI made to the DOJ and Enforcement Bureau of the FCC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) See reconciling schedule 1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) A wireless line in service is defined as a wireless device with a monthly fee for services.

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares financial information for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

GCI revenue increased 2% in the fourth quarter, driven by strength in demand for data in both business and consumer. GCI revenue was flat for the full year due to robust demand for data in both business and consumer customers throughout the year, offset by the decline in video and voice subscriber counts and the impact of extending a roaming wireless contract

------

with a large partner in the fourth quarter of 2021. The extension of the agreement resulted in lower revenue through the third quarter of 2022, but will benefit GCI for several years from the extension of the agreement as well as the continued receipt of backhaul services for GCI's network post expiration. The previous agreement was expected to be terminated in 2022.

Operating income increased in the fourth quarter due to higher revenue and mix shift into higher margin revenue and declined for the full year primarily due to a $29 million accrual for a potential litigation settlement related to RHC matters. Adjusted OIBDA grew 14% in the fourth quarter and 1% for the full year. Data growth was strong throughout 2022, highlighting this shift to higher margin revenue, and the fourth quarter also benefited from lapping the impact of the aforementioned roaming agreement.

In 2022, GCI spent $156 million, net on capital expenditures. Capital expenditure spending was related primarily to improvements to the wireless and hybrid fiber coax networks. GCI's net capital expenditures for 2023 are expected to be approximately $185 million related to increased investment in middle mile and last mile data connectivity, including network expansion in rural Alaska.

<u>Rural Healthcare Update</u> 

There were no material RHC updates in the fourth quarter. Please reference our latest Form 10-K for a summary of RHC matters.

**FOOTNOTES**

2) Calculated pursuant to Liberty Broadband and Charter's stockholder agreement.

*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, 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, indemnification by Liberty Broadband, the continuation of our stock repurchase program, benefits from extending a roaming contract, backhaul services 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 COVID-19) 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 Form 10-K, 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.
