BY READING THIS REPORT, ATTENDING A PRESENTATION OF THIS REPORT (THE “PRESENTATION”) AND/OR READING THE SLIDES USED FOR THE PRESENTATION (THE “PRESENTATION SLIDES”) YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND AS FOLLOWS: This Report, the Presentation and/or the Presentation slides, contains forward-looking statements, which include all statements other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, any statements preceded by, followed by or including the words “targets”, “believes”, “expects”, “aims”, “intends”, “may”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “would”, “will”, “could”, “should” or similar expressions or the negative thereof. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors beyond our control that could cause our actual performance or achievements to be materially different from future performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding our present and future strategies and the environment in which we will operate in the future. These forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of this presentation. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any of such statements are based. This Report contains summary audited financial information for Adria Midco B.V. and its subsidiaries for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, unless another source, such as management accounts, is specifically mentioned. Certain financial measures and ratios related thereto in this presentation, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditure, RGUs and ARPU (collectively, the ‘‘Non-IFRS Measures’’) are not specifically defined under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles. These measures are presented here because we believe that they and similar measures are widely used in our industry as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance and financing structure. Our management believes this information, along with comparable IFRS measures, is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the operating performance in the periods presented. These measures are used in the internal management of our business, along with the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, in evaluating the operating performance. These measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and are not measurements under IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles, and you should not consider such items as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS, and they may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. 2 FY 2018 HIGH YIELD REPORT 2018 Summary 29 April 2019 – United Group, the leading cable and media player in South Eastern Europe, today reports its financial results for 2018.
