Mediacom Communications Reports Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. — MEDIACOM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION (Nasdaq: MCCC) today reported financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007.
Revenues rose 6.2% to $332.5 million, reflecting strong contributions from Mediacom’s data and phone businesses.
- Video revenues increased 1.5% from the fourth quarter of 2006, due to higher service fees from our advanced video products and services, including DVRs and HDTV, and basic video rate increases, offset in part by a lower number of basic subscribers. During the quarter, the Company lost 7,000 basic subscribers, as compared to a loss of 14,000 for the same period last year, which included the negative impact of the Company’s retransmission consent dispute with a major television station group.
- Digital customers grew by 16,000, as compared to an increase of 14,000 in the prior year period, ending the year with 557,000 customers, or 42.1% penetration of basic subscribers. As of December 31, 2007, 29.1% of digital customers received DVR and/or HDTV services, up from 20.0% the prior year-end.
