On November 26, 2025, the Company acquired the remaining 17% of RLJ Entertainment that it had not previously owned for $75 million in cash.

The carrying amount of the related noncontrolling interest was reduced to zero, reflecting the Company's 100% ownership of RLJ Entertainment. The Company will continue to consolidate RLJ Entertainment.

Impairment and other charges of $98 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of a $93 million goodwill impairment charge for AMC Networks International and a $4 million impairment charge for indefinite-lived intangible assets related to SundanceTV trademarks.

***<u>Restructuring and Other Related Charges</u>*** 

Restructuring and other related charges were $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, of which $17 million was related to our restructuring plan in our International segment designed to achieve cost reductions and streamline operations including channel re-branding and a reduction of workforce in Southern Europe, the wind-down of a UK joint venture, and a voluntary buyout program for employees in Argentina. An additional $12 million was related to our voluntary buyout program for U.S. employees, which is expected to result in modifications to the organizational structure of the Company and reduced employee costs.

***<u>Stock Repurchase Program & Outstanding Shares</u>***

The Company repurchased 854,692 shares of its Class A Common Stock for $7.5 million in the fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $117 million of authorization remaining for repurchase under its Stock Repurchase Program.

------

**<u>Description of Non-GAAP Measures</u>**

Internally, the Company uses Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Free Cash Flow measures as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators.

The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before share-based compensation expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses), restructuring and other related charges, cloud computing amortization, and including the Company's proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority-owned equity method investees. From time to time, the Company may exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses, or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) from Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) that affect the Company's operating performance. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of the business without regard to the effect of the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash.

The Company believes that Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts, and peers to compare performance in the industry.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Since Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), please see page 11 of this release.

The Company defines Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, all of which are reported in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure of its liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful as an indicator of its overall liquidity, as the amount of Free Cash Flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment, investment, and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. The Company also believes that Free Cash Flow is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its liquidity with other companies in the industry, although the Company's measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, please see page 11 of this release.

The Company defines Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS"), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings per diluted share excluding the following items: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses); non-cash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; restructuring and other related charges; and the impact associated with the modification of debt arrangements, including gains and losses related to the extinguishment of debt; as well as the impact of taxes on the aforementioned items and other one-time tax charges/benefits. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure is earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that Adjusted EPS is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its performance with other companies in the industry, although the Company's measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of earnings per diluted share to Adjusted EPS, please see pages 12-13 of this release.

(1) Represents a timing adjustment between current and deferred tax expense as a result of tax reform. This offsets the adjustment in the third quarter of 2025, therefore there is no impact on a full year basis.

(2) For the reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS, the item "Dilutive income and share basis difference - GAAP vs. Adjusted" represents the impact of the adjustments from a net loss to net income position, which required an adjustment for the interest expense associated with the convertible debt and a change in the dilutive shares outstanding to reflect additional dilutive shares associated with restricted stock units and convertible debt that were considered anti-dilutive on a GAAP basis.
