The Company’s growth has been driven by its continued success in penetrating its customer base with new services, primarily Internet and Phone products. During the fiscal year 2009/2010, Kabel Deutschland added more than 290 thousand Internet and Phone subscribers. In the third quarter of the fiscal year 2009/2010 the Company surpassed one million Internet and Phone subscribers and one million Premium TV RGUs enjoying its innovative new services. The growth in RGUs translated into record results in revenues and EBITDA.

During the last fiscal year, Kabel Deutschland reached a number of operational milestones such as the successful restructuring of the technical operations division, which was outsourced and resulted in annual cost savings of approximately € 11 million. Further, Kabel Deutschland added several High Definition (HD) TV channels to its line up, feeding in ten popular HD channels at fiscal year end. Kabel Deutschland started to roll out DOCSIS 3.0 functionality where customers can realize download speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s.
The successful IPO of Kabel Deutschland on March 22, 2010 in a challenging market environment marked a milestone in the Company’s history. Further, on June 4, 2010 the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Deutsche Börse announced the inclusion of Kabel Deutschland in the German MDAX midcap share index which will become effective on June 21, 2010. The MDAX index includes the 50 Prime Standard shares from sectors other than technology that rank immediately below the companies included in the DAX index in terms of market capitalization and volume.
Adrian v. Hammerstein, Kabel Deutschland’s CEO, stated: “We are very pleased with our operational achievements and our record financial results in the last fiscal year. In a difficult macro-economic environment, we have been able to achieve double digit revenue and EBITDA growth.
Looking at the year ahead, we will continue to focus on offering leading products to our customers such as the new Video Center and super fast broadband products under DOCSIS 3.0.
With our competitively positioned products and our relentless focus on customer satisfaction we are confident that we will continue our growth trajectory.”
Strong operational performance with Internet, Phone and Premium TV driving RGU(5) and ARPU growth
Total direct subscribers were 7,473.8 thousand on March 31, 2010, down 33.1 thousand from previous year, primarily relating to one time consolidation adjustments related to the Orion acquisition and final integration. Pro-forma for these adjustments, Kabel Deutschland’s direct subscriber base increased by 15.5 thousand during fiscal year 2009/2010. Total subscribers decreased by 221.6 thousand year over year, mainly driven by the loss in the low ARPU indirect wholesale subscriber segment.
Internet and Phone subscribers grew by 291.1 thousand year over year and 67,5 thousand in the fourth quarter, to 1,097.0 thousand on March 31, 2010. Internet and Phone RGUs grew by 555.7 thousand units and reached 1,973.5 thousand, a 39.2% increase over prior year. In the Company’s fourth quarter, Internet and Phone RGUs increased by 129.5 thousand.
Total RGUs amounted to 12.05 million on March 31, 2010, up 3.6% or approximately 421.3 thousand from previous year. Growth in uptake of new services increased new Services RGUs(6) (Premium TV, Internet and Phone) to 25.3% of total RGUs compared to 20.5% in the previous year.

Monthly ARPU per subscriber for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 reached € 12.64 — up by € 1.21 or 10.6% over the last year. The blended monthly Internet and Phone ARPU per subscriber turned the corner and increased to € 28.43 in the fourth quarter from € 28.27 in the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Cash flow, capital expenditures and liquidity
Operating free cash flow (EBITDA — Capex) improved to € 331.9 million compared to € 197.6 million in the previous year, an increase of 68.0%. Operating free cash flow margin increased from 14.4% to 22.1% over the same period.
Capex amounted to € 327.2 million in the fiscal year 2009/2010 after € 373.0 million in the previous year. Around 71.3% was success based and driven by incremental RGUs.
Cash on hand of € 271.3 million coupled with revolver capacity of € 325.0 million provided € 596.3 million of liquidity on March 31, 2010.
Balance sheet
Total net debt as of March 31, 2010 amounted to € 2,865.8 million, implying a total net debt / EBITDA ratio of 4.3 times. This ratio has come down from 5.3 times on March 31, 2009 and 4.6 times on December 31, 2009 — underlining the Company’s quick de-leveraging profile.
Outlook for fiscal year 2010/2011
Revenues for the current fiscal year are expected to grow by approximately 6.5% to 7.0% year over year. EBITDA as adjusted is likely to come in between € 715.0 million and € 725.0 million while Capex is expected to amount to € 350.0 — € 360.0 million. Kabel Deutschland’s management foresees the leverage ratio at below 4.0 times total net debt / EBITDA at the end of the current fiscal year 2010/2011.
The financials for Kabel Deutschland Holding AG’s first quarter ending on June 30, 2010 will be released on August 24, 2010.

Footnotes
(1) EBITDA consists of profit from ordinary activities before depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as profit from ordinary activities before depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation, which consists primarily of expenses related to our MEP programs, and restructuring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to measure our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized accounting term or measure in accordance with IFRS, does not purport to be an alternative to profit from ordinary activities or cash flows from operating activities and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential differences caused by extraordinary effects, variations in tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or deferred taxes), amortization and depreciation and certain other items. Because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA identically to us, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. However, Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used term to compare the operating activities of cable companies.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA margin is a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.
(3) Capital expenditures consist of cash paid for investments in intangible assets and property and equipment and do not include cash paid for acquisitions.
(4) Total Blended monthly ARPU per subscriber is calculated by dividing Basic Cable, Premium TV, Internet and phone (“Internet and Phone”) and TKS (cable television) subscription revenues (excluding installation fees) for the relevant period by the sum of the monthly average number of total subscribers for that period.
(5) RGUs (revenue generating units) relate to sources of revenue, which may not always be the same as subscriber numbers. For example, one person may subscribe to two different services, thereby accounting for only one subscriber, but two RGUs.
(6) New Services RGUs consist of Premium TV RGUs, Internet RGUs and Phone RGUs.
(7) Homes Passed being marketed upgraded for two-way communication are those homes that we are currently able to sell our Internet and/or Phone products to.
(8) Internet and Phone “Solo” subscribers consist of non-Basic Cable service customers subscribing to Internet and/or phone services only.
(9) Premium TV RGUs consist of RGUs for our pay-TV product, Kabel Digital (Kabel Digital Home and various foreign language packages), and our DVR product, Kabel Digital+.
(10) Basic Cable RGUs: The difference between the number of Basic Cable subscribers and Basic Cable RGUs is due to one additional digital product component, Digitaler Empfang, which is sold directly to the end-customer on top of an analog Basic Cable service, which is provided and billed via a housing association. A customer subscribing to Digitaler Empfang would be counted as one Basic Cable subscriber (analog service via a housing association) and two Basic Cable RGUs (analog service via a housing association and digital service via a direct end-customer relationship).
