Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 6, 2009, Knology, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its 2009 third quarter results. The full text of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

In the attached press release, we use the Non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, as adjusted, and EBITDA margin. EBITDA, as adjusted, is calculated as net loss before interest; taxes; depreciation and amortization; non-cash stock compensation; restructuring expense; gain on interest rate swaps; amortization of deferred loss on interest rate swaps; and other expense (income). EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA, as adjusted, divided by total revenue for the relevant period. EBITDA, as adjusted, is an operational measure that is not calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates the uneven effect on operating income of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of certain intangible assets and, therefore, is useful to management in measuring the overall operational strength and performance of the Company. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used for generating our revenues. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures and investment spending. Another limitation of EBITDA, as adjusted, is that it does not reflect income net of interest expense, which is a significant expense because of the substantial debt we have incurred.

In the attached press release, we also use the Non-GAAP financial measure Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is calculated as EBITDA, as adjusted, less capitalized tangible and intangible expenditures and cash interest paid net of cash interest received. The use of Free Cash Flow is important because it allows management, as well as investors and analysts, to assess our ability to make additional investments and meet our debt obligations.

The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein includes a reconciliation of EBITDA, as adjusted, and Free Cash Flow to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.
