Discontinuation of basic video RGU reporting: Following the successful completion of our analog TV switch-off program across our entire footprint at the end of November 2021, we will no longer distinguish between basic and enhanced video subscribers and will only report the total number of video customers as of January 1, 2022.
Rebased information for the year ended December 31, 2021: On June 1, 2022, we successfully completed the sale of our mobile tower infrastructure business ("TowerCo") to DigitalBridge Investments, LLC, an affiliate of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. ("DigitalBridge"). In addition, on October 1, 2022, we closed the acquisition of an additional 21% stake in the media group Caviar; this acquisition brings our total shareholding to 70% and we have consolidated Caviar's financial results since October 1, 2022. For purposes of calculating rebased growth rates on a comparable basis, we have adjusted our historical revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to exclude/include the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of TowerCo and Caviar, respectively, to the extent revenue and Adjusted EBITDA related to these transactions are no longer included/included in our current results. The rebased growth percentages have been presented as a basis for assessing growth rates on a comparable basis. Rebased growth is a non-GAAP measure as contemplated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and is an additional measure used by management to demonstrate the Company's underlying performance and should not replace the measures in accordance with EU IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance, but rather should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable EU IFRS measure.
Inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA after leases ("Adjusted EBITDAaL"): Following the aforementioned sale of our mobile tower infrastructure business on June 1, 2022, we will now include Adjusted EBITDA after leases as a core financial metric in addition to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDAaL is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as further adjusted to include lease-related depreciation and interest expense as mentioned under 6.3 Definitions. As a result of the tower disposal, Telenet has entered into a 15year Master Lease Agreement ("MLA") with DigitalBridge with two renewal periods of 10 years each. As a result, Telenet will make substantial payments to DigitalBridge for the use of Telenet's former mobile tower infrastructure. As a result, we believe Adjusted EBITDAaL is a helpful financial metric to (i) demonstrate the Company's underlying performance after including all lease-related expenses necessary to run our business and (ii) provide comparability between Telenet's performance and the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although Telenet's measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies.
Operating Free Cash Flow renamed Adjusted EBITDA less property & equipment additions: Effective with the release of our Q3 2021 earnings, we have stopped using the term Operating Free Cash Flow and now use the term "Adjusted EBITDA less property & equipment additions". As we define the term, Adjusted EBITDA less property & equipment additions has the same meaning as Operating Free Cash Flow had previously, and therefore does not impact any previously reported amounts.
Revised definition of Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Effective Q4 2021, we have changed the way we calculate Adjusted Free Cash Flow by deducting (i) cash payments for direct acquisition and divestiture costs and (ii) principal payments on pre-acquisition additions to network leases from our Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Prior to implementing this change, our Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluded both payments, in line with our historical guidance. We have represented our Adjusted Free Cash Flow on that basis for all comparative 2021 periods as further detailed under 5.2 EU IFRS condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Accrued capital expenditures are defined as additions to property, equipment and intangible assets, including additions from leases and other financing arrangements, as reported in the Company's consolidated statement of financial position on an accrued basis.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, measurement period and post-measurement period adjustments related to business acquisitions and restructuring charges, and before operating charges or credits related to successful or unsuccessful acquisitions or divestitures. Operating charges or credits related to acquisitions or divestitures include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) due diligence, legal, advisory and other third-party costs directly related to the Company's efforts to acquire or divest controlling interests in businesses, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure as contemplated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and (i) represents an additional measure used by management to demonstrate the Company's underlying performance both before and after including all lease-related expenses necessary to run the business and (ii) provides comparability between Telenet's performance and the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although Telenet's measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not replace the measure in accordance with EU IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance, but rather should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable EU IFRS measure.
Adjusted EBITDAaL (Adjusted EBITDA after leases) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to include lease-related depreciation and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDAaL is a non-GAAP measure as contemplated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and (i) represents an additional measure used by management to demonstrate the Company's underlying performance both before and after including all lease-related expenses necessary to run the business and (ii) provides comparability between Telenet's performance and the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although Telenet's measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted EBITDAaL should not replace the measure in accordance with EU IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance, but rather should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable EU IFRS measure.
Adjusted EBITDA less property & equipment additions is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus accrued capital expenditures as reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accrued capital expenditures exclude the recognition of football broadcasting rights, mobile spectrum licenses and certain lease related capital additions. Adjusted EBITDA less property & equipment additions is a non-GAAP measure as contemplated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and is a meaningful measure because it provides (i) a transparent view of Adjusted EBITDA that remains after the Company's capital spend, which the Company believes is important to take into account when evaluating overall performance of the business and (ii) a comparable view of the Company's performance relative to other telecommunications companies. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA less property and equipment additions measure may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of similar measures.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by the Company's operating activities, plus operating-related vendor financed expenses (which represents an increase in the period to the Company's actual cash available as a result of extending vendor payment terms beyond normal payment terms, which are typically 90 days or less, through non-cash financing activities), less (i) cash payments in the period for capital expenditures as reported in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows, (ii) principal payments on operating- and capital-related amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries (which represents a decrease in the period to the Company's actual cash available as a result of paying amounts to vendors and intermediaries where we previously had extended vendor payments beyond the normal payment terms), and (iii) principal payments on finance leases (which represents a decrease in the period to our actual cash available) each as reported in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company believes its presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP measure as contemplated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G, provides useful information to its investors because this measure can be used to gauge the Company's ability to (i) service debt and (ii) fund new investment opportunities after consideration of all actual cash payments related to working capital activities and expenses that are capital in nature whether paid inside normal vendor payment terms or paid later outside normal vendor payment terms (in which case the Company typically pays in less than 365 days). Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not be understood to represent the Company's ability to fund discretionary amounts, as the Company has various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, that are not deducted to arrive at these amounts. Investors should view Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a supplement to, and not a substitute for EU IFRS measures of liquidity included in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, the Company's Adjusted Free Cash Flow may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
Average Revenue Per Unit ("ARPU") refers to the average monthly subscription revenue per average customer relationship and is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue (excluding mobile services, Business-to-Business ("B2B") services, interconnect, channel carriage fees, mobile handset sales and installation fees) for the indicated period, by the average of the opening and closing balances for customer relationships for the period.
Customer Churn represents the rate at which customers relinquish their subscriptions. The annual rolling average basis is calculated by dividing the number of disconnects during the preceding 12 months by the average number of customer relationships. For the purpose of computing churn, a disconnect is deemed to have occurred if the customer no longer receives any level of service from Telenet and is required to return Telenet's equipment. A partial product downgrade, typically used to encourage customers to pay an outstanding bill and avoid complete service disconnection is not considered to be disconnected for purposes of Telenet's churn calculations. Customers who move within Telenet's cable footprint and upgrades and downgrades between services are also excluded from the disconnect figures used in the churn calculation.
Customer Relationships are the number of customers who receive at least one of Telenet's video, internet or telephony services that Telenet counts as RGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. Customer Relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives Telenet's services in two premises (e.g. a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two Customer Relationships. Telenet excludes mobileonly customers from Customer Relationships.
EBITDA is defined as profit before net finance expense, the share of the result of equity accounted investees, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment.
Fixed-line Telephony Subscriber is a home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives Telenet's fixed-line voice services over the Telenet and Partner Networks (commonly referred to as the "Combined Network"). Fixed-line Telephony Subscribers exclude mobile telephony subscribers.
Homes Passed are homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to the Combined Network without materially extending the distribution plant. Telenet's Homes Passed counts are based on census data that can change based on either revisions to the data or from new census results.
Internet Subscriber is a home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives Telenet's internet services over the Combined Network.
Mobile subscriber count represents the number of active subscriber identification module ("SIM") cards in service rather than services provided. For example, if a mobile subscriber has both a data and voice plan on a smartphone this would equate to one mobile subscriber. Alternatively, a subscriber who has a voice and data plan for a mobile handset and a data plan for a laptop (via a dongle) would be counted as two mobile subscribers. Customers who do not pay a recurring monthly fee are excluded from Telenet's mobile telephony subscriber counts after a 90-day inactivity period.
Net total leverage is defined as the sum of loans and borrowings under current and non-current liabilities (excluding lease-related liabilities) minus cash and cash equivalents ("Net Total Debt"), as recorded in the Company's statement of financial position, divided by the last two quarters' Consolidated Annualized Adjusted EBITDAaL In its statement of financial position, Telenet's USD-denominated debt has been converted into EUR using the December 31, 2022 EUR/USD exchange rate. As Telenet has entered into several derivative transactions to hedge both the underlying floating interest rate and exchange risks, the EUR-equivalent hedged amounts were €2,041.5 million (USD 2,295.0 million Term Loan AR) and €882.8 million (USD 1.0 billion Senior Secured Notes due 2028), respectively. For the calculation of its net leverage ratio, Telenet uses the EUR-equivalent hedged amounts given the underlying economic risk exposure. Net total leverage is a non-GAAP measure as contemplated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G.
Net covenant leverage is calculated as per the 2020 Amended Senior Credit Facility definition, using Net Total Debt (using the €-equivalent hedged amounts for its USD-denominated debt as highlighted above), excluding (i) subordinated shareholder loans, (ii) capitalized elements of indebtedness under the Clientele and Annuity Fees, (iii) any finance leases entered into on or prior to August 1, 2007, (iv) any indebtedness incurred under the network lease entered into with the pure intermunicipalities, (v) any vendor financing-related liabilities, and including (vi) the Credit Facility Excluded Amount (which is the greater of (a) €400.0 million and (b) 0.25x Consolidated Annualized Adjusted EBITDA), divided by last two quarters' Consolidated Annualized Adjusted EBITDA.

In addition, on October 1, 2022, we closed the acquisition of an additional 21% stake in the media group Caviar; this acquisition brings our total shareholding to 70% and we have consolidated Caviar's financial results since October 1, 2022. For purposes of calculating rebased growth rates on a comparable basis, we have adjusted our historical revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to exclude/include the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of TowerCo and Caviar, respectively, to the extent revenue and Adjusted EBITDA related to these transactions are no longer included/included in our current results. The rebased growth percentages have been presented as a basis for assessing growth rates on a comparable basis. Rebased growth is a non-GAAP measure as contemplated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and is an additional measure used by management to demonstrate the Company's underlying performance and should not replace the measures in accordance with EU IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance, but rather should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable EU IFRS measure.
RGU is separately a Video Subscriber, Internet Subscriber or Fixed-line Telephony Subscriber. A home, residential multiple dwelling unit, or commercial unit may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residential customer subscribed to Telenet's video service, fixed-line telephony service and broadband internet service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. Total RGUs is the sum of Video, Internet and Fixed-line Telephony Subscribers. RGUs generally are counted on a unique premises basis such that a given premises does not count as more than one RGU for any given service. On the other hand, if an individual receives one of Telenet's services in two premises (e.g. a primary home and a vacation home), that individual will count as two RGUs for that service. Each bundled cable, internet or fixed-line telephony service is counted as a separate RGU regardless of the nature of any bundling discount or promotion. Non-paying subscribers are counted as subscribers during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers may choose to disconnect after their free service period. Services offered without charge on a long-term basis (e.g. VIP subscribers, free service to employees) generally are not counted as RGUs. Telenet does not include subscriptions to mobile services in its externally reported RGU counts.
Video Subscriber is a home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives Telenet's video service over the Combined Network.
