"In 2005, Mediacom delivered record RGU growth," said Rocco B.Commisso, Mediacom's Chairman and CEO. "Our customers clearlyresponded to new product packaging and bundling initiatives, asevidenced by all-time high digital and data net additions. Thesestrategies also contributed to a significant reduction inyear-over-year basic subscriber losses. However, the effects ofextended promotional discount periods, combined with incremental costsneeded to ready our network for phone service and the cumulativeimpact of three major hurricanes disrupting Gulf Coast operations in2004 and 2005, all weighed on revenue and cash flow results."

"Our experience so far with the phone service launches has beenencouraging, as we gained 20,000 phone customers this quarter. Wefinished the year marketing the triple-play bundle of video, data andvoice to over half of the total homes in our markets. We anticipatethat the phone business will be a meaningful contributor to revenuegrowth in 2006, helping lay the groundwork for improved financialperformance this year," Mr. Commisso concluded.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Three MonthsEnded December 31, 2004

For the fourth quarter of 2005, revenues were $280.3 million, anincrease of 5.7% over $265.2 million in the comparable 2004 period.

-- Video revenues increased 2.4%, as a result of rate increases applied on the Company's subscribers and greater digital penetration and fees from advanced video products and services, offset by a decrease in basic subscribers and the impact of extended promotional discount offers. For the fourth quarter, basic subscriber losses amounted to 6,000, as compared to a loss of 3,000 in the prior year quarter. Digital customers rose by 17,000 during the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to a gain of 14,000 in the same period last year. Average monthly video revenue per basic subscriber increased 4.8% from the fourth quarter of 2004 to $49.67.

-- Data revenues rose 24.4%, primarily due to a 30.2% year-over-year increase in data customers. Data customers grew by 25,000 during the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to a gain of 17,000 in the same period last year. Average monthly data revenue per data customer decreased 4.2% from the fourth quarter of 2004 to $37.33, largely due to extended promotional offers in 2005.

-- Advertising revenues decreased 6.8%, largely as a result of an anticipated decline in political advertising from the 2004 election year.

Service costs grew 8.5%, primarily due to: (i) increasedprogramming costs as a result of lower launch support received fromprogramming suppliers and higher unit costs, partially offset by alower base of basic subscribers; (ii) greater use of outsidecontractors for customer activity typically performed by serviceemployees and, to a lesser extent, increases in routine plant repairsand maintenance; (iii) higher field operating costs driven by risingvehicle fuel costs; and (iv) greater employee costs caused byincreased headcount and overtime of technicians to prepare theCompany's network for phone service and for customer installationactivity, offset in part by higher levels of labor and overheadcapitalization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 11.8%, primarilydue to increasing employee costs, including higher staffing,commissions and benefit costs of customer service and direct salespersonnel, caused by greater levels of customer activity.

Corporate expenses rose 36.9%, principally due to increases inemployee compensation, including non-cash compensation chargestotaling $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, and higher legaland accounting fees. As a percentage of revenues, corporate expenseswere 2.1% as compared to 1.6% in the prior year quarter.

Depreciation and amortization increased 8.6%, principally as aresult of asset retirements and disposals related to Hurricanes Dennisand Katrina.

Interest expense, net, increased 10.1%, principally due to highermarket interest rates on variable rate debt and, to a lesser extent,greater levels of indebtedness.

As a result of the quarterly mark-to-market valuation of theCompany's interest rate exchange agreements, the Company recorded anet gain on derivatives amounting to $1.0 million for the three monthsended December 31, 2005, as compared to the net gain of $6.6 millionfor the three months ended December 31, 2004.

Provision for income taxes was approximately $197.4 million forthe three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to a benefit fromincome taxes of $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31,2004. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company took a non-cashcharge of $197.3 million, reflecting its decision to raise thevaluation allowance against its deferred tax assets, which principallyconsist of the Company's pre-tax net operating loss carryforwards forfederal and state purposes. These carryforwards totaled approximately$1.7 billion as of December 31, 2005.

The Company generated a net loss for the three months endedDecember 31, 2005 of $212.7 million, as compared to net income of $2.0million for the three months ended December 31, 2004.

On February 21, 2006, the Boardauthorized an additional $50.0 million stock repurchase program,bringing the total authorization for stock repurchases to $61.2million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

"OIBDA," "Adjusted OIBDA" and "free cash flow" are not financialmeasures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accountingprinciples (GAAP) in the United States. The Company defines free cashflow as OIBDA less interest expense, net, cash taxes and capitalexpenditures.

OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA are two of the primary measures used bymanagement to evaluate the Company's performance and to forecastfuture results. The Company believes these measures are useful forinvestors because they enable investors to assess the Company'sperformance in a manner similar to the methods used by management, andprovide measures that can be used to analyze, value and compare thecompanies in the cable television industry, which may have differentdepreciation and amortization policies, as well as different non-cashcompensation programs. A limitation of OIBDA, however, is that itexcludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodiccosts of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used ingenerating revenues in the Company's business. Management utilizes aseparate process to budget, measure and evaluate capital expenditures.In addition, Adjusted OIBDA has the limitation of not reflecting theeffect of the Company's non-cash compensation charges.

Free cash flow is used by management to evaluate the Company'sability to service its debt and to fund continued growth withinternally generated funds. The Company believes free cash flow isuseful for investors because it enables them to assess the Company'sability to service its debt and to fund continued growth withinternally generated funds in a manner similar to the method used bymanagement, and provide measures that can be used to analyze, valueand compare companies in the cable television industry. The Company'sdefinition of free cash flow eliminates the impact of quarterlyworking capital fluctuations, most notably from the timing ofsemi-annual cash interest payments on the Company's senior notes.

OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and free cash flow should not be regarded asalternatives to either operating income, net income or net loss asindicators of operating performance or to the statement of cash flowsas measures of liquidity, nor should they be considered in isolationor as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance withGAAP. The Company believes that operating income is the most directlycomparable GAAP financial measure to OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA, andthat net cash flows provided by operating activities is the mostdirectly comparable GAAP financial measure to free cash flow.Reconciliations of historical presentations of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDAand free cash flow to their most directly comparable GAAP financialmeasures are provided in Attachment 6. The Company is unable toreconcile these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparablenon-GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis primarily because it isimpractical to project the timing of certain items, such as theinitiation of depreciation relative to network construction project,or changes in working capital.
