NEW YORK – February 2, 2016 – SiriusXM today
announced fourth quarter and full-year 2015 operating and financial results, including record revenue of $1.2 billion and $4.6
billion, respectively, up 10% and 9% versus the prior year periods.
Net income totaled $135 million and $510 million in the fourth
quarter and full-year 2015, respectively, compared to $143 million and $493 million in the fourth quarter and full-year 2014. Net
income per diluted common share was $0.03 and $0.09 in the fourth quarter and full-year 2015, respectively, versus $0.03 and $0.08
in the fourth quarter and full-year 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was $396 million and $1.66 billion in the fourth quarter and full-year,
respectively, up 4% and 13% compared to the prior year periods.
“We produced our best subscriber growth in eight years,
taking our subscriber base to approximately 29.6 million. The company also set records in 2015 for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and
free cash flow. We are investing in new marketing capabilities, our connected vehicle business, new satellites, a next generation
wideband chipset and, most importantly, our world-class and exclusive content. We expect that these investments, together with
our long-standing focus on execution, will help us continue our long history of strong, profitable growth” said Jim Meyer,
Chief Executive Officer, SiriusXM.
“SiriusXM’s strong, resilient business model and
ability to deploy capital to benefit our stockholders present a compelling investment opportunity. Our content bundle of commercial-free
music channels, live sports events, expanded comedy and entertainment programming remains a unique value in audio entertainment.
And the development and deployment of our next-generation SXM17 entertainment platform and telematics services in connected vehicles
position us well to continue our enviable place in the dashboard,” added Meyer.
FULL-YEAR 2015 HIGHLIGHTS
| · | Subscriber Growth
Continues. SiriusXM
added 2,283,000 net new
subscribers in 2015,
the highest growth in
net subscribers since
2007, before Sirius and
XM merged. The growth
in net new subscribers
in 2015 represents a
30% increase from the
1,752,000 net new subscribers
added in 2014. Self-pay
net subscriber additions
were 1,765,000 in 2015,
approximately 23% higher
than in 2014. Total paid
subscribers |
| | climbed 8% in 2015 to approximately 29.6 million, and self-pay subscribers
also increased 8% in 2015 to 24.3 million, both record highs. |
| · | Full-year Adjusted EBITDA Rose 13% to a Record High.
Adjusted EBITDA of $1.66 billion in 2015 was the highest in the
company’s history, an increase of 13% over the $1.47 billion
reported in 2014. The company’s adjusted EBITDA margin
was also a record high of 36%, an increase from 35% in 2014. |
| · | Free Cash Flow Per Diluted Share Increased 23%. Free
cash flow of $1.32 billion in 2015 was up 14% from $1.16 billion
in 2014. With increased cash flow and a 7% lower average diluted
share count from the company’s share repurchase program,
free cash flow per diluted share climbed 23% to 24.2 cents in
2015, up from 19.7 cents in 2014. |
“During the fourth quarter, we spent $369 million to repurchase
92 million of our shares. In January, as our stock fell alongside the worldwide market declines, we accelerated our repurchases
to nearly $200 million, repurchasing an additional 52 million shares. Our stock repurchase plan has now delivered $6.5 billion
into the hands of our stockholders in just three years. We continue to maintain modest leverage of just 3.3 times adjusted EBITDA,
and with no near term maturities and growing free cash flow, we have ample options on how we deploy our capital going forward,”
remarked David Frear, Chief Financial Officer, SiriusXM.
2016 GUIDANCE
Our full-year 2016 guidance for continued growth in net subscribers,
revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, originally issued on January 5, 2016, is as follows:
| · | Net subscriber additions
of approximately 1.4
million, |
| · | Revenue of approximately
$4.9 billion, |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA of
approximately $1.78 billion,
and |
| · | Free cash flow of
approximately $1.4 billion. |

Adjusted
EBITDA –
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, net of amounts capitalized; income tax expense and depreciation and amortization.
We adjust EBITDA to exclude the impact of other income, loss on disposal of assets, 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 on-going core operating results period over period, (ii) base our internal
budgets and (iii) compensate management. As such, 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, (iii) share-based payment expense and (iv) other significant operating expense (income) that do not relate to
the on-going performance of our business. 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 believe the exclusion of share-based payment expense
and loss on disposal of assets is useful as they are not directly related to the operational conditions of our business. We also
believe the exclusion of settlements related only to the historical use of pre-1972 sound recordings is useful as it does not represent
an expense incurred as part of normal operations for the period.
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:

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
- We define these Non-GAAP financial measures as our actual net income adjusted to exclude the impact of certain purchase price
accounting adjustments, the pre-1972 sound recordings legal settlements, the loss on disposal of assets, and the loss on change
in value of derivatives, net of income tax expense. Adjusted earnings per share is derived from adjusted net income divided by
our weighted average common shares outstanding. The following table reconciles our actual income before
income taxes to our adjusted net income for the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

exclude the incremental depreciation and amortization associated with the $785,000 stepped up basis in property, equipment and
intangible assets as a result of the merger of Sirius and XM. The increased depreciation and amortization for the twelve months

historical legal settlements, and the loss on disposal of assets. The following table reconciles our actual operating expenses
to our adjusted cash operating expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Average self-pay monthly churn - is defined as the monthly

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:

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, divided by the
number of satellite radio installations in new vehicles and shipments of aftermarket radios for the period. SAC, per installation,
is calculated as follows:
