UGC Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

All 2004 Guidance Targets Achieved or Exceeded

DENVER, March 14 – UnitedGlobalCom, Inc. (UGC) (Nasdaq: UCOMA) today announces operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and year-ended December 31, 2004.

Highlights for the fiscal year include:

* Revenue growth of 34% to $2.53 billion

* Operating Cash Flow growth of 40% to $879 million(2)

* Net RGU additions of 552,800 on an organic basis(3)

* Net loss of $(382) million compared to net income of $2.0 billion(4)

* Free Cash Flow growth of 272% to $219 million(5)

Mike Fries, President and Chief Executive Officer of UGC said, "Our 2004 results were excellent across the board, as we achieved or exceeded all of our public guidance targets. Organic subscriber growth was robust as we added 552,800 RGUs for the full year, excluding acquisitions, compared to guidance of 500,000. This solid performance was driven by record fourth quarter net additions of over 250,000 RGUs. At year-end 2004, we had over 11.6 million consolidated RGUs and growth remains strong in early 2005. During the first two months of the year, we've added over 100,000 RGUs."

"On a reported basis, revenue and Operating Cash Flow (OCF) in fiscal 2004 increased 34% and 40%, respectively, in part due to favorable foreign currency (FX) movements. Adjusting for FX changes and excluding acquisitions, our full year organic revenue growth was 10.5%, modestly ahead of our 10% guidance target. Due to the strong RGU growth we generated toward the end of the year, our fourth quarter organic revenue growth accelerated significantly, increasing 4.0% on a sequential basis from the third quarter. Our full year OCF growth was 20% on an organic basis, consistent with our guidance on that metric and despite the additional costs associated with our better than expected subscriber additions. And, excluding approximately $22 million of fourth quarter costs associated with the termination and settlement of a Dutch programming contract (MovieCo), our organic cash flow growth rate for the full year would have been 24%."

"We made significant progress on a number of our strategic initiatives during the fourth quarter, including the launch of our digital phone (VoIP) services in The Netherlands and Hungary, as well as successful trials of 30 Mbps broadband Internet speeds and "off-net" voice and data services outside of our cable footprint. We have added over 55,000 digital phone subscribers since October of last year, and this month we expect to begin the commercial launch of our digital phone products across France. In addition, we are planning upcoming launches of digital phone services in Austria, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Poland and Czech Republic and, in total, we expect to have 5.5 million VoIP homes serviceable this Summer."

"Consistent with our strategy of disciplined footprint expansion, we completed several acquisitions in the quarter, including Irish pay-TV provider Chorus, an indirect 14% interest in Belgian cable company Telenet, and in February 2005, we closed the acquisition of Telemach, the largest cable company in Slovenia. We applied the same disciplined approach to the purchase of ZoneVision, a global programming company with a significant presence in Eastern Europe."

"We continue to have strong access to the senior secured and institutional debt markets, as evidenced by the latest partial refinancing of our European credit facility. Last week, we closed three new tranches totaling EUR 3.0 billion, primarily to refinance existing debt. The total facility size has increased from EUR 3.5 billion to EUR 3.8 billion, of which EUR 2.8 billion was outstanding at close. We have full access to our increased revolver capacity of EUR 1.0 billion, which can be used for financing potential acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The average maturity of the loan has been extended to approximately 6 years, with no amortization payments required until 2010. In addition, the average credit spread on the facility has been reduced to 262 basis points over Euribor."

"Looking ahead to fiscal 2005, we announced today aggressive guidance targets that we believe position UGC as the fastest growing public cable company in terms of Operating Cash Flow. Including a full year of Noos' results in France and, together with other announced acquisitions, we expect to grow revenue and OCF by 20% on a consolidated basis in 2005. In addition, driven by data and digital phone launches, we expect to add at least 800,000 net new RGUs, an improvement of 34% compared to last year."

Recent Events

On March 10, 2005, the Chilean Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the prior regulatory approval of the combination of UGC's wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary, VTR GlobalCom S.A. ("VTR"), with Metropolis Intercom S.A. ("Metropolis"). The combination of VTR and Metropolis had been previously approved, subject to certain conditions, by the Chilean anti-trust tribunal in October 2004.

On January 18, 2005, Liberty Media International, Inc. (LMI) (Nasdaq: LBTYA, LBTYB) and UGC announced that the two companies reached an agreement to combine the businesses under a single entity to be named Liberty Global, Inc. Liberty Global will be one of the largest owners and operators of broadband communications systems outside the United States with ownership interests in companies serving more than 14 million RGUs in 17 countries.

Fiscal 2004 Results

Our significant and consolidated operating subsidiaries in Europe include UPC Broadband -- our cable television and broadband division with operations in 13 countries, and chellomedia -- our media and programming division, which also includes our Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC), Priority Telecom. In Latin America, our primary operation is VTR, our cable television and broadband provider in Chile. Please refer to the end of this press release for additional segment financial information.

Revenue

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $2.53 billion, an increase of 34% or $634 million compared to the same period in 2003. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates and the acquisitions of Noos and Chorus, organic year-over-year revenue growth was approximately 10.5% for fiscal 2004 as a result of higher average monthly revenue per subscriber (ARPU) and RGU growth. Please refer to the table on page 11 for additional information.

Total European revenue increased 34% to $2.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to a 35% increase in our core triple play operation, UPC Broadband. Revenue in Western Europe increased 18%, or $215 million (excluding Noos and Chorus) compared to the same period in 2003, while revenue in Central and Eastern Europe increased 30% or $106 million. In Chile, revenue at VTR increased 31% or $70 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to last year.

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2004 was $775 million, an increase of 50% compared to the same period last year. On a sequential basis from September 30, 2004, revenue increased 18% or approximately 71% on an annualized basis. On an organic basis our sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter was 4.0%. This represents a meaningful acceleration of our revenue growth compared to our previous results this year driven primarily by faster customer growth resulting from aggressive new product launches.

Average monthly revenue (ARPU) per RGU, excluding acquisitions, for the three months ended December 31, 2004 was $20.67, an increase of 16.6% compared to the same period in 2003. Excluding foreign currency movements, the organic increase in ARPU per RGU was approximately 8% year-over-year. ARPU per customer relationship was $25.62 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, a sequential increase of 10% from $23.30 in third quarter 2004. Excluding foreign currency movements, the organic increase in ARPU per customer relationships was 4.3% on a sequential basis.

Operating Cash Flow

Operating Cash Flow (OCF) for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $879 million, an increase of 40% compared to the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions, our organic OCF growth was approximately 20% for the period, in line with our guidance of 20% for the full year. Excluding approximately $22 million of fourth quarter charges associated with the termination and settlement of a Dutch programming contract, our organic cash flow growth rate for the full year would have been 24%. Please refer to the table on page 12 for additional information.

Total European OCF increased 36% to $778 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to a 35% increase at UPC Broadband. OCF in Western Europe increased 39% to $626 million (including Noos and Chorus), while OCF in Central and Eastern Europe increased 39% to $182 million. Excluding Noos and Chorus, OCF in Western Europe increased 27% to $573 million. In Chile, 2004 OCF increased 55% to $109 million as compared to 2003.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, our consolidated OCF margin was 34.8% compared to 33.2% for the same period last year. However, our consolidated OCF margin decreased sequentially to 30.8% for fourth quarter 2004, compared to 36.7% in the third quarter. Excluding the results of Noos and Chorus and approximately $22 million of costs associated with the termination and settlement of a Dutch programming contract, our fourth quarter overall OCF margin was 35.8% compared to 36.1% for the same period last year.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss was $382 million or $(0.50) per share for the year ended December 31, 2004, which compares with net income of $2.0 billion or $7.41 per share for the prior year. The 2003 result was due primarily to a $2.2 billion gain related to the extinguishment of debt.

Free Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures

Free Cash Flow (FCF) for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $219 million, a $160 million improvement compared to $59 million of FCF in 2003. The increase was driven by a 78% improvement in cash flow from operating activities, offset by a 44% increase in reported capital expenditures. For the three months ended December 31, 2004, FCF was $39 million, a 192% increase or $25 million improvement compared to the same period last year despite higher marketing costs associated with the 72% increase in subscriber growth between the periods.

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $480 million (19.0% of revenues) compared to $333 million (17.6% of revenues) for fiscal year 2003. The primary reason for the increase was higher spending on customer premise equipment (CPE) due to the significant increase in RGU growth in fourth quarter 2004 compared to the same period last year, as well as foreign currency movements.

Balance Sheet, Leverage, and Liquidity

At December 31, 2004, total long-term debt was $4.8 billion and we had cash and cash equivalents (including short-term liquid investments) of $1.0 billion. Net debt to annualized Operating Cash Flow(6) or consolidated leverage ratio was 4.0x compared to 5.4x for the same period in the prior year. Excluding approximately $22 million of costs associated with the MovieCo programming contract, our year-end leverage was 3.8x.

In addition to our cash balances, as a result of the partial refinancing of our European Credit Facility, we currently have EUR 1.0 billion available under the revolvers. Together with the market value of our interests in the publicly traded securities of SBS Broadcasting and Austar United, we have total liquidity of approximately $3.0 billion.

Operating Statistics

Total RGUs were over 11.6 million at December 31, 2004, including 1.9 million RGUs at Noos and Chorus. Excluding Noos and Chorus, total RGUs at December 31, 2004 were 9.7 million. Since December 31, 2003, we added 552,800 net new RGUs (excluding acquisitions), which exceeded our full year guidance target of 500,000 RGUs by 11%.

In terms of net additions by product and excluding acquisitions, we added a total of 264,800 broadband Internet subscribers during 2004, including 216,800 in Europe. Together with the 211,200 broadband Internet subscribers we acquired from Noos and Chorus, our total broadband Internet subscriber base now exceeds 1.4 million. Digital video RGU additions were over 100,000 for the year driven primarily by the success of our digital HITs product in France. Including the acquisition of Noos' and Chorus' digital subscribers, we had a total of 725,100 digital subscribers at the end of the year. Telephony additions were 70,200 for the year including 42,000 during the fourth quarter following our commercial VoIP launches in The Netherlands and Hungary, and we had a total of 803,500 telephony subscribers at December 31, 2004.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, we added 254,200 net new RGUs (excluding acquisitions) which represents the strongest single quarter in the Company's history and a 72% improvement compared to last year's fourth quarter. In Europe we added 218,500 RGUs during the fourth quarter and in Chile we added 35,600 RGUs. We ended 2004 with a backlog of over 60,000 RGUs awaiting installation which is approximately double our normal backlog due to the strong demand we are experiencing for our new broadband Internet and VoIP products.

2005 Guidance

In 2005, we expect to generate a significant increase in customer growth compared to 2004 driven primarily by the continued aggressive rollout of digital phone services across Europe as well as continued broadband product innovation. As a result we expect to add 800,000 net new RGUs in 2005, a 34% increase compared to the 599,000 RGUs that we added in 2004 (which includes approximately 47,000 net gain at Noos, which we acquired in July of last year).

We expect revenue to increase 20% for 2005 compared to 2004, including the impact of announced acquisitions (i.e. Noos, Chorus, Telemach, and ZoneVision) and assuming an average exchange rate of 1.24 dollars per euro for the full year. Operating Cash Flow is also expected to increase by 20% on the same basis.

Capital expenditures for the year are expected to range between 20% and 22% of sales, an increase from 19% in 2004. The spending increase is primarily to support such new product launches as digital phone, and resultant higher RGU growth anticipated this year, as well as to support the upgrade of approximately 1.0 million new two way homes, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, we expect to continue to be meaningfully Free Cash Flow positive in fiscal 2005.

New Basis of Accounting Effective January 1, 2004

On January 5, 2004, Liberty Media Corporation (together with its subsidiaries "LMC") acquired 8,198,016 shares of Class B common stock from our founding stockholders in exchange for securities of LMC and cash (the "Founders Transaction"). Upon completion of this transaction, the restriction on LMC's right to exercise its voting power over us was terminated. LMC then had the ability to elect our entire board of directors and control us. LMC acquired its cumulative interest in us over a period of several years in separate acquisitions. LMC's largest acquisition of us occurred in January 2002 whereby its economic and voting interest increased from approximately 11% and 37%, respectively, to approximately 73% and 94%, respectively. Because of certain voting and standstill agreements entered into between LMC and our founding stockholders in connection with this January 2002 transaction, LMC was unable to control us and therefore accounted for its investment in us under the equity method of accounting. Upon consummation of the Founders Transaction, our financial statements changed to reflect the push down of LMC's basis and, as a result, we have a new basis of accounting effective January 1, 2004. Accordingly, for periods prior to January 1, 2004 the assets and liabilities of UnitedGlobalCom, Inc. and the related consolidated financial statements are sometimes referred to herein as "UGC Pre-Founders Transaction," and for periods subsequent to January 1, 2004 the assets and liabilities of UnitedGlobalCom, Inc. and the related consolidated financial statements are sometimes referred to herein as "UGC Post-Founders Transaction."

Revenue

The following table provides an analysis of our revenue by business segment for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands, except percentages). The first two columns present our consolidated revenue for each comparative period. The third and fourth columns present the U.S. dollar change and percent change, respectively, from period to period. The fifth and sixth columns present the U.S. dollar change and percent change, respectively, after removing foreign currency translation effects, or "F/X." These columns demonstrate what the revenue change would have been had exchange rates remained the same as the comparative period in the prior year. These amounts are based on the Euro for the Netherlands, Austria, France, Ireland, Belgium, chellomedia, UGC Europe corporate and other, Norwegian Krone for Norway, Swedish Krona for Sweden, Hungarian Forint for Hungary, Polish Zloty for Poland, Czech Koruna for Czech Republic, Slovak Koruna for Slovak Republic, Romanian Leu for Romania, Chilean Peso for Chile, and U.S. dollars for Brazil, Peru and other UGC corporate. Certain percentages are denoted as not meaningful ("n/m"). At the bottom of the table we subtract the consolidated revenue from our material acquisitions in 2004, Noos and Chorus (Ireland), to present our revenue growth without the results of these new businesses.

Operating Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation

Operating Cash Flow is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision makers to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. As we use the term, Operating Cash Flow is defined as revenue less operating, selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, restructuring charges and other and stock-based compensation). We believe Operating Cash Flow is meaningful because it provides investors a means to evaluate the operating performance of our segments and our company on an ongoing basis using criteria that is used by our internal decision makers. Our internal decision makers believe Operating Cash Flow is a meaningful measure and is superior to other available GAAP measures because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance and allows management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments in the different countries in which we operate and identify strategies to improve operating performance. For example, our internal decision makers believe that the inclusion of impairment and restructuring charges within Operating Cash Flow distorts the ability to efficiently assess and view the core operating trends in our segments. In addition, our internal decision makers believe our measure of Operating Cash Flow is important because analysts and investors use it to compare our performance to other companies in our industry. We reconcile the total of the reportable segments' Operating Cash Flow to our consolidated net income as presented in our consolidated statements of operations, because we believe consolidated net income is the most directly comparable financial measure to total segment operating performance. Investors should view Operating Cash Flow as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow from operating activities and other GAAP measures of income as a measure of operating performance.

We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forecasted Operating Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), because certain items are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For example, it is impractical to: (1) estimate future fluctuations in interest rates on our variable-rate debt facilities; (2) estimate the fluctuations in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and its impact on our results of operations; (3) estimate the financial results of our non- consolidated affiliates; and (4) estimate changes in circumstances that lead to gains and/or losses such as sales of investments in affiliates and other assets. Any and/or all of these items could be significant to our financial results.

Free Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation

Free Cash Flow is not a GAAP measure of liquidity. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe our presentation of free cash flow provides useful information to our investors because it can be used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. Investors should view free cash flow as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

The Revenue and Operating Cash Flow of UPCD for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004 includes twelve months of UPC Poland and six months of Noos. UPC Poland and Noos were transferred into UPCD in July 2004. The Operating Cash Flow of UPCD for the twelve and three months ended December 31, 2004 excludes corporate costs, which primarily relates to costs on a programming agreement.

Please note that for Q4 2004 chello access has been contributed into UPCD at December 31, 2004. We are currently reviewing intercompany arrangements with respect to interactive, arrivo, VOD and other services to be procured by UPCD from chellomedia. Currently these services are not settled in cash and as a result are not included in OCF. Total Q4 2004 amount with respect to these service totaled approximately Euro 1.9 million.

(1) "Homes Passed" are homes that can be connected to our networks

without further extending the distribution plant, except for DTH and

MMDS homes. With respect to DTH, we do not count homes passed. With

respect to MMDS, one home passed is equal to one MMDS subscriber.

(2) "Two-way Homes Passed" are homes passed by our networks where

customers can request and receive the installation of a two-way

addressable set-top converter, cable modem, transceiver and/or voice

port which, in most cases, allows for the provision of video and

Internet services and, in some cases, telephony services.

(3) "Customer Relationships" are the number of customers who receive at

least one level of service without regard to which service(s) they

subscribe.

(4) "Revenue Generating Unit" is separately an Analog Cable Subscriber,

Digital Cable Subscriber, DTH Subscriber, MMDS Subscriber, Internet

Subscriber or Telephony Subscriber. A home may contain one or more

RGUs. For example, if a residential customer in our Austrian system

subscribed to our analog cable service, digital cable service,

telephony service and high-speed broadband Internet access service,

the customer would constitute four RGUs. "Total RGUs" is the sum of

Analog, Digital Cable, DTH, MMDS, Internet and Telephony

Subscribers. In some cases, non-paying subscribers are counted as

subscribers during their free promotional service period. Some of

these subscribers choose to disconnect after their free service

period.

(5) "Analog Cable Subscriber" is comprised of basic cable video

customers that are counted on a per connection basis. We have

approximately 1.34 million "lifeline" customers that are counted on

a per connection basis, representing the least expensive regulated

tier of basic cable service, with only a few channels. Commercial

contracts such as hotels and hospitals are counted on an equivalent

bulk unit (EBU) basis. EBU is calculated by dividing the bulk price

charged to accounts in an area by the most prevalent price charged

to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable

tier of service.

(6) "Digital Cable Subscriber" is a customer with one or more digital

converter boxes that receives our digital video service. A Digital

Cable Subscriber is counted as one Analog Cable Subscriber in column

5 of the table above whether such customer receives only our digital

video service or both analog and digital video services.

(7) "DTH Subscriber" is a home or commercial unit that receives our

video programming broadcast directly to the home via a

geosynchronous satellite.

(8) "MMDS Subscriber" is a home or commercial unit that receives our

video programming via a multipoint microwave (wireless) distribution

system.

(9) "Internet Homes Serviceable" are homes that can be connected to our

broadband networks, where customers can request and receive Internet

access services.
