million in the fourth quarter and full-year 2013. Net
income per diluted common share was $0.03 and $0.08,
respectively, in the fourth quarter and full-year 2014, versus
$0.01 and $0.06 in the fourth quarter and full-year 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA was $381 million and
$1.47 billion, respectively, in the
fourth quarter and full-year, up 17% and 26% versus the prior year
periods.
"As our results demonstrate, SiriusXM had a great year by
delivering to subscribers new and exciting music, sports, and talk
programming; executing on our growth plan; and driving 36% growth
in free cash flow per diluted share, all while investing in the
future of the connected car," said Jim
Meyer, Chief Executive Officer, SiriusXM.
"We have once again set ambitious targets for 2015 to grow our
subscriber base, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to
new, record-high levels. I'm confident in our ability to be
creative and innovative as the leader in audio entertainment,
making our superior service an even better experience for our
subscribers in 2015," added Meyer.
FOURTH QUARTER 2014 HIGHLIGHTS
- Strong fourth quarter net subscriber
gains. SiriusXM recorded 576,689 net new subscribers in the
fourth quarter, marking the largest fourth-quarter increase since
2007. Self-pay net subscriber additions were 508,032 in the fourth
quarter of 2014 compared to 411,484 in the fourth quarter of
2013.
- Record high fourth quarter adjusted
EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA of $381
million in the fourth quarter of 2014 was the highest
quarterly amount in the company's history, an increase of 17% over
the fourth quarter 2013.
- Record free cash flow per diluted
share. Free cash flow reached a fourth quarter record of
$331 million, while free cash flow
per diluted share reached an all-time high of 5.9 cents in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 20%
from the fourth quarter of 2013.
FULL-YEAR 2014 HIGHLIGHTS
- Full-year subscriber gains exceed
targets. SiriusXM reported 2014 total and self-pay net
subscriber additions, respectively, of 1,751,777 and 1,440,821,
each ahead of the company's original full-year guidance of
1,250,000. The company ended 2014 with 27.3 million total paying
subscribers and 22.5 million self-pay subscribers, each up 7% from
the end of 2013.
- Share buybacks reach $2.5 billion in 2014. The company returned
$2.5 billion to stockholders by
repurchasing 739 million shares in 2014. As of year-end,
approximately $1.7 billion remained
under the company's existing $6
billion share repurchase authorization.
- Record-high adjusted EBITDA and
margin. Adjusted EBITDA grew 26% to a record $1.47 billion in 2014 from $1.17 billion in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA margin
grew approximately 440 basis points to a record high 35.0%.
- Rapid expansion of free cash flow.
SiriusXM reported $1.16 billion of
free cash flow in 2014, up 25% from $927
million in 2013. The company reported 19.7 cents of free cash flow per diluted share in
2014, up 36% from 14.5 cents per
diluted share in 2013.
"Our repurchases of 739 million shares in 2014 represented
approximately 12% of the shares outstanding at the beginning of
last year. Even as we returned $2.5
billion to our stockholders, SiriusXM's leverage remained
steady at about 3.1 times EBITDA, a result of rapid growth in
adjusted EBITDA and the conversion of our 7% Exchangeable Notes
into equity in December. In the two years since we began our
capital return program with a special dividend, we have paid our
shareholders over $4.8 billion and
retired more than 1.3 billion shares," noted David Frear, Chief Financial Officer,
SiriusXM.
2015 GUIDANCE
The company also reiterated its 2015 guidance, originally given
on January 7, 2015, for net
subscriber additions, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash
flow:
- Net subscriber additions of approximately 1.2 million,
- Revenue of approximately $4.4
billion,
- Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.6
billion, and
- Free cash flow of approximately $1.25
billion.

Glossary
Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA is defined as net income
before interest and investment income (loss); interest expense, net
of amounts capitalized; income tax expense and depreciation and
amortization. We adjust EBITDA to exclude the impact of other
income and expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on change
in value of derivatives as well as certain other charges discussed
below. This measure is one of the primary Non-GAAP financial
measures on which we (i) evaluate the performance of our
businesses, (ii) base our internal budgets and (iii) compensate
management. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance
measure that excludes (if applicable): (i) certain
adjustments as a result of the purchase price accounting for the
merger of Sirius and XM, (ii) depreciation and amortization and
(iii) share-based payment expense. The purchase price accounting
adjustments include: (i) the elimination of deferred revenue
associated with the investment in XM Canada, (ii) recognition of
deferred subscriber revenues not recognized in purchase price
accounting, and (iii) elimination of the benefit of deferred
credits on executory contracts, which are primarily attributable to
third party arrangements with an OEM and programming
providers. We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of
the underlying trend of our operating performance, which provides
useful information about our business apart from the costs
associated with our physical plant, capital structure and purchase
price accounting. We believe investors find this Non-GAAP financial
measure useful when analyzing our results and comparing our
operating performance to the performance of other communications,
entertainment and media companies. We believe investors use current
and projected adjusted EBITDA to estimate our current and
prospective enterprise value and to make investment decisions.
Because we fund and build-out our satellite radio system through
the periodic raising and expenditure of large amounts of capital,
our results of operations reflect significant charges for
depreciation expense. The exclusion of depreciation and
amortization expense is useful given significant variation in
depreciation and amortization expense that can result from the
potential variations in estimated useful lives, all of which can
vary widely across different industries or among companies within
the same industry. We also believe the exclusion of share-based
payment expense is useful given share-based payment expense is not
directly related to the operational conditions of our business.
Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take
into account the impact to our statements of comprehensive income
of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense and
certain purchase price accounting for the merger of Sirius and XM.
We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the Non-GAAP
measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure
with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the
reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the
Non-GAAP measure. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate
our operating results after giving effect for these costs, should
refer to net income as disclosed in our consolidated statements of
comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial
performance measure, our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be
susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be
considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The reconciliation of net income to the adjusted EBITDA is
calculated as follows (in thousands):

Adjusted Revenues and Operating Expenses - We define
this Non-GAAP financial measure as our actual revenues and
operating expenses adjusted to exclude the impact of certain
purchase price accounting adjustments from the merger of Sirius and
XM and share-based payment expense. We use this Non-GAAP financial
measure to manage our business, to set operational goals and as a
basis for determining performance-based compensation for our
employees. The following tables reconcile our actual revenues
and operating expenses to our adjusted revenues and operating
expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

ARPU - is derived from total earned subscriber
revenue, advertising revenue and other subscription-related
revenue, excluding revenue associated with our connected vehicle
business, net of purchase price accounting adjustments, divided by
the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted
average number of subscribers for the period. Other
subscription-related revenue includes the U.S. Music Royalty
Fee. ARPU is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for
subscriber and per subscriber amounts):

Average self-pay monthly churn - is defined as the
monthly average of self-pay deactivations for the period divided by
the average number of self-pay subscribers for the period.
Customer service and billing expenses, per average
subscriber - is derived from total customer service and billing
expenses, excluding connected vehicle customer service and billing
expenses and share-based payment expense, divided by the number of
months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number
of subscribers for the period. We believe the exclusion of
share-based payment expense in our calculation of customer service
and billing expenses, per average subscriber, is useful as
share-based payment expense is not directly related to the
operational conditions that give rise to variations in the
components of our customer service and billing expenses. Customer
service and billing expenses, per average subscriber, is calculated
as follows (in thousands, except for subscriber and per subscriber
amounts):

New vehicle consumer conversion rate - is defined as
the percentage of owners and lessees of new vehicles that receive
our satellite radio service and convert to become self-paying
subscribers after the initial promotion period. At the time
satellite radio enabled vehicles are sold or leased, the owners or
lessees generally receive trial subscriptions ranging from three to
twelve months. We measure conversion rate three months after the
period in which the trial service ends. The metric excludes rental
and fleet vehicles.
Subscriber acquisition cost, per installation - or SAC,
per installation, is derived from subscriber acquisition costs and
margins from the sale of radios and accessories, excluding purchase
price accounting adjustments, divided by the number of satellite
radio installations in new vehicles and shipments of aftermarket
radios for the period. Purchase price accounting adjustments
associated with the merger of Sirius and XM include the elimination
of the benefit of amortization of deferred credits on executory
contracts recognized at the merger date attributable to an OEM.
SAC, per installation, is calculated as follows (in thousands,
except for installation amounts):
