PR Newswire (US) Key TakeawaysUltra-low latency internet with L4S technology goes beyond speed, delivering less lag and more control.Built for real-time moments: smoother gameplay, clearer video calls, immersive experiences and more responsive apps.Currently launched in the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Rochester, Minn.; and St. Louis, Mo. areas, with a nationwide rollout to follow.STAMFORD, Conn., May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever hit a button in a game and watch your character react a split second too late? Or talk over someone on a video call because of that awkward delay? That's latency, and Spectrum is working to eliminate it. With the launch of ultra-low latency internet powered by L4S technology (low latency, low loss, scalable throughput), Spectrum is making everyday online experiences feel faster, smoother, and more natural in real time. "Speed gets you there, but latency determines how it feels once you arrive," said Danny Bowman, Executive Vice President, Product. "Many of today's most popular applications require real-time responsiveness. This is about eliminating delays so customers can enjoy gaming, working or connecting with family via video in a way that feels immediate."Customers increasingly rely on instant connections to make the most of every moment. L4S technology enables smoother, more responsive connections for latency-sensitive applications including AI tools, gaming and video chatting. Spectrum's low-latency network works with products from companies like NVIDIA and any other developers who build their applications to meet L4S standards. When both the product and network are optimized, the customer wins.Automatically included with Spectrum Internet service at no additional cost, low latency technology is already live for Spectrum customers in the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Rochester, Minn.; and St. Louis, Mo. areas. The service will expand to additional markets across the country as the Company completes its ongoing network evolution project, bringing enhanced connectivity to customers nationwide.More information about Spectrum Internet is available at Spectrum.com/Internet.About Spectrum

Charter Communications Slips After Q1 Earnings Miss Despite Revenue BeatApril 24, 2026 9:56 AM
IH Market News
Shares of Charter Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) edged lower in premarket trading on Friday after the company reported first-quarter earnings below expectations, even as revenue slightly exceeded forecasts.The stock fell around 1.98% following the release.



Earnings Miss, Revenue Holds Up



Charter posted adjusted earnings per share of $9.17 for the quarter ended March 31, missing the $9.91 consensus estimate by $0.74.Revenue declined 1.0% year-on-year to $13.6 billion but came in just ahead of analyst expectations of $13.55 billion. The drop was largely driven by weaker residential video revenue, partly offset by continued growth in mobile services.



Customer Trends Mixed



The company reported a loss of 120,000 internet customers during the quarter, compared with a loss of 59,000 in the same period last year.Charter added 368,000 mobile lines, down from 507,000 additions a year earlier.

Cash Flow Pressured by Investment



Adjusted EBITDA fell 2.2% year-on-year to $5.6 billion, while free cash flow dropped 12.3% to $1.4 billion, mainly due to higher capital spending.Capital expenditures rose 19.0% from the prior year to $2.9 billion, including $812 million spent on network line extensions during the quarter.



Buybacks and Outlook



Charter repurchased 4.3 million shares for $963 million over the period.The company expects full-year 2026 capital expenditures to reach approximately $11.4 billion as it continues investing in network expansion and infrastructure.Charter Communications stock price

Excluding advertising sales revenue and costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, first quarter total revenue grew by 0.1% year-over-year.Residential revenue totaled $10.5 billion in the first quarter, a decrease of 2.7% year-over-year, driven by a year-over-year decline in residential customers of 1.5% and a decrease in monthly residential revenue per residential customer of 1.4%.First quarter 2026 monthly residential revenue per residential customer totaled $118.44, a decrease of 1.4% compared to the prior year period. The decline was driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base, $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups, rate adjustments and the growth of Spectrum Mobile. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, monthly residential revenue per residential customer increased 0.3% compared to the prior year period.Internet revenue declined 1.3% year-over-year to $5.9 billion, driven by a decline in Internet customers year-over year, partly offset by a favorable change in bundled revenue allocation year-over-year, promotional rate step-ups and rate adjustments.First quarter mobile service revenue totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of 15.1% year-over-year, driven by mobile line growth and rate adjustments, partly offset by less favorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year.Video revenue totaled $3.3 billion in the first quarter, a decrease of 9.2% compared to the prior year period, driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base, $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period, more unfavorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups and video rate adjustments that pass through programmer rate increases.Voice revenue decreased by 5.0% year-over-year to $338 million, driven by a decline in wireline voice customers, partly offset by voice rate adjustments.Commercial revenue increased by 1.0% year-over-year to $1.8 billion, driven by mid-market and large business revenue growth of 2.1% year-over-year and an increase in small business revenue of 0.2%. Mid-market and large business revenue excluding wholesale increased by 2.8% year-over-year, mostly reflecting PSU growth. The year-over-year increase in first quarter 2026 small business revenue was driven by a 0.9% increase year-over-year in monthly small business revenue per small business customer, mostly offset by a decline in small business customer relationships year-over-year.First quarter advertising sales revenue of $358 million increased by 5.3% compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher political revenue. Excluding political revenue in both periods, advertising sales revenue decreased by 3.4% year-over-year driven by lower linear advertising revenue, partly offset by higher streaming advertising revenue.Other revenue totaled $906 million in the first quarter, an increase of 14.2% compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales.Operating Costs and ExpensesFirst quarter total operating costs and expenses declined 0.2% year-over-year to $8.0 billion driven by lower programming costs, mostly offset by higher other costs of revenue.First quarter programming costs decreased by $214 million, or 9.3% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period, a higher mix of lower cost packages within Charter's video customer base and fewer video customers, partly offset by contractual programming rate increases and renewals.Other costs of revenue increased by $181 million, or 11.4% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher mobile service direct costs, higher mobile device sales and higher advertising sales costs given higher political revenue.Field and technology operations expenses decreased by $24 million, or 1.8% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower labor expense.Customer operations expenses decreased by $6 million, or 0.8% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense.Marketing and residential sales expenses decreased by $30 million or 3.2% year-over-year, due to lower marketing and labor expenses.Transition expenses represent incremental costs incurred to prepare for the integration of the previously announced Cox transaction.Other expenses increased by $57 million, or 5.3% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to one-time benefits of $75 million in the prior year period.Net Income Attributable to Charter ShareholdersNet income attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, with lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher depreciation and amortization, partly offset by a decrease in other operating expenses due to a non-strategic asset impairment charge in the first quarter of 2025.Net income per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $9.27 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $8.59 during the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of a 11.4% decrease in basic weighted average common shares outstanding versus the prior year period, partly offset by the factors described above.Adjusted EBITDAFirst quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5.6 billion declined by 2.2% year-over-year, reflecting a decline in revenue of 1.0%, partly offset by a decrease in operating costs and expenses of 0.2%. Excluding transition expenses, Adjusted EBITDA declined 1.8% year-over-year.Capital ExpendituresCapital expenditures totaled $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $456 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 given timing of spend, with higher upgrade/rebuild (primarily network evolution) and CPE, partly offset by lower line extension spend.Charter continues to expect full year 2026 capital expenditures, excluding impacts from the previously announced Cox transaction, to total approximately $11.4 billion. The actual amount of capital expenditures in 2026 will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of Charter's network evolution and expansion initiatives, supply chain timing and growth rates in Charter's residential and commercial businesses.Cash Flow and Free Cash FlowDuring the first quarter of 2026, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $4.3 billion, an increase from $4.2 billion in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a less unfavorable change in working capital, partly offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher cash paid for interest.Free cash flow in the first quarter of 2026 totaled $1.4 billion, a decrease of $192 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease in free cash flow was driven by higher capital expenditures, partly offset by a less unfavorable change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures and higher net cash flows from operating activities.Liquidity & FinancingAs of March 31, 2026, total principal amount of debt was $94.3 billion and Charter's credit facilities provided approximately $4.6 billion of additional liquidity in excess of Charter's $517 million cash position.In January 2026, CCO Holdings, LLC ("CCO Holdings") and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due February 2033 at par and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due February 2036 at par. In February 2026, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. redeemed $750 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.500% senior notes due 2026 and $2.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.125% senior notes due 2027.Share RepurchasesDuring the three months ended March 31, 2026, Charter purchased 4.3 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for $963 million.WebcastCharter will host a webcast on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) related to the contents of this release.The webcast can be accessed live via the Company's investor relations website at ir.charter.com. Participants should go to the webcast link no later than 10 minutes prior to the start time to register. The webcast will be archived at ir.charter.com two hours after completion of the webcast.Additional Information Available on WebsiteThe information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which will be posted on the "Results & SEC Filings" section of the Company's investor relations website at ir.charter.com, when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). A slide presentation to accompany the conference call and a trending schedule containing historical customer and financial data will also be available in the "Results & SEC Filings" section.Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow InformationThe Company uses certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are reconciled to net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the Addendum to this release.Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income (expenses), net and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as special charges, merger and acquisition costs and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company's businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.Management and Charter's board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company's credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the SEC). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by its operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. The Company's debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were $366 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.About CharterCharter Communications, Inc.

SPECTRUM GUARANTEES $1,000 SAVINGS IN THE FIRST YEAR FOR CUSTOMERS WHO FLEE THE BIG 3February 24, 2026 10:20 AM
PR Newswire (US)

New Customers Can Switch Risk-Free to Spectrum Fiber-Powered Internet and Two Mobile Lines and Lock in $30/Month for Each Product for Two YearsKey Takeaways:Savings Guarantee is for new customers who switch from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon and take Spectrum Internet and at least two Spectrum Mobile lines.Spectrum will guarantee a savings of $1,000 to new customers or credit them the difference in their first year.Reliable Seamless Connectivity from Spectrum delivers the fastest Internet, WiFi and wireless speeds coast-to-coast.STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectrum – America's Connectivity Company™ – has unveiled one of its most powerful value pledges to date, guaranteeing new customers $1,000 in savings their first year if they switch their mobile service from AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon to at least two Unlimited lines of Spectrum Mobile and transfer their internet service from any provider to Spectrum Internet Advantage or a higher speed tier.

 

Why it matters: Internet and mobile bundles shouldn't break the bank. Spectrum already backs its broadband connectivity products and services with performance guarantees through its industry-first Customer Commitment. By offering customers the ability to switch risk-free to Spectrum Internet – with same or next day installation – and to switch to Spectrum Mobile with guaranteed savings, Spectrum has upped the competitive ante by providing consumers with lasting value and savings certainty when compared to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.How it works: New customers can switch to Spectrum's Fiber-Powered Premier Internet and a minimum of two Unlimited or Unlimited Plus Mobile lines starting at $30 per month for each product – with taxes and fees included – and lock in a two-year price guarantee. Customers then upload their prior wireless bill from AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon and from their internet provider, and if the switch to Spectrum Internet and Mobile does not save them $1,000 in their first year, Spectrum will cover the difference. For example, if the bill analysis shows that the customer will save only $800 in their first year with Spectrum, the Company will credit the customer a total of $200 in monthly installments over the year.What is Spectrum Seamless Connectivity: With a Fiber Broadband Network that covers more than one million miles nationwide, Spectrum offers customers the fastest Internet and WiFi and industry-leading reliability, with speeds up to 1 Gig available everywhere the Company operates. Additionally, Spectrum Mobile is the nation's fastest-growing mobile provider, offering cost-effective plans that include 5G access; no contracts; unlimited talk, text and data; and reliable and secure connections when combined with WiFi. Nearly 90% of Spectrum's mobile traffic goes over the Spectrum Fiber Broadband Network at higher speeds, meaning Spectrum Mobile customers enjoy the fastest wireless speeds when combined with Spectrum WiFi.What about TV: In addition to guaranteed savings with Internet and Mobile, Spectrum packs a lot of punch on video value through its innovative Seamless Entertainment offering. This experience delivers live TV in addition to the most popular streaming apps at no extra cost to customers with eligible Spectrum TV plans – more than $125 per month in retail streaming app value – giving customers even more powerful options to save.Do the math: Prospective new customers can learn more about the Spectrum Savings Guarantee at Spectrum.com and all customers – new and current – can calculate their own potential savings at Spectrum.com/packages/savings-calculator.Fastest Speeds claim based on Broadband Download Speed among the top 5 national providers in Opensignal USA: Fixed Broadband Experience Report – May 2025.

SPECTRUM PARTNERS WITH CARSON HOCEVAR, SPIRE MOTORSPORTS, FOR NASCAR CUP SERIES CAMPAIGNFebruary 10, 2026 10:01 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Multi-Year Partnership Jump Starts with 68th Running of Daytona 500 and Spans Tracks NationwideKey Takeaways:Spectrum will be showcased as primary sponsor of the No. 77 Chevy Camaro driven by Carson Hocevar for multiple NASCAR Cup Series races in 2026.The partnership spotlights a full-circle moment for Hocevar, who was sponsored by Spectrum in his early racing days.With Spectrum's Seamless Connectivity and Entertainment, fans get reliable speed and performance to watch NASCAR races live at home or stream on the go.MOORESVILLE, N.C., Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Start your engines: Spectrum is headed to NASCAR, debuting a new multi-year partnership with Spire Motorsports and 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year Carson Hocevar. Spectrum will rev up as the team's primary sponsor for multiple NASCAR Cup Series races in 2026, beginning Sunday, February 15th with the 68th running of the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.







"NASCAR is built on speed, passion and innovation — and that spirit aligns perfectly with what we deliver every day at Spectrum as America's Connectivity Company," said Sharon Peters, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Spectrum. "Carson and Spire are not only incredible competitors, but also proud Spectrum customers. With our fastest, most reliable Fiber-Powered Internet and Seamless Connectivity, we help fans follow every moment of the race wherever they watch — and support the teams and businesses behind the sport with the technology and reliability they depend on."Following the season-opener at the famed 2.5-mile Daytona Beach superspeedway, Hocevar's No. 77 Chevrolet will continue to feature the Spectrum livery at a host of races as NASCAR's premier division traverses the country. Additionally, the Spectrum partnership serves as a reunion of sorts for Hocevar. As a young driver growing up in Portage, Mich., Hocevar sported a logo from Spectrum on his cars."Spectrum is a blue chip, iconic American brand that we know resonates with the NASCAR fan base," said Spire Motorsports Co-owner Jeff Dickerson. "This is a high-energy partnership to roll out, beginning with the Daytona 500. Carson is one of the most talented drivers across the sport, so I'm not sure we could have found a more perfect fit. We're thrilled to welcome Spectrum to Spire Motorsports' family of partners and to see them market their platform to the NASCAR fanbase by building a program around our No. 77 team and one of the sport's most exciting personalities."Hocevar Draws on Racing Roots as He Begins Spectrum Partnership at Daytona 500 
Hocevar is fresh off a 2025 campaign featuring two top five and nine top 10 results, including a pair of career-best runner-up finishes at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway. The sophomore driver also secured his first career pole award at Texas Motor Speedway."It's really cool to have Spectrum on our No. 77 Chevrolet Camaro," Hocevar said. "It's truly a full circle deal. Spectrum was on my quarter midget cars and late models growing up. My dad made a deal to put their logos on my race cars in exchange for local commercials for his coin and jewelry store. It's surreal to reflect on that time and think now I'm racing on Sundays, going into my third season in the Cup Series with Spectrum as a key partner. I'm eager to get to work and wear the Spectrum blue at Daytona."Hocevar was impressive throughout his rookie season in 2024, earning top rookie honors on the strength of one top five, six top 10 and 13 top 15 finishes.The 23-year-old driver made his NASCAR Cup Series debut for Spire Motorsports on June 4, 2023, at World Wide Technology Raceway. In addition to his first appearance in NASCAR's premier division, Hocevar made four NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series starts for Spire Motorsports in 2023, earning top 10 finishes at Darlington Raceway (sixth) and Charlotte Motor Speedway (eighth).The 68th running of the Daytona 500 will be televised live on FOX, Sunday, Feb. 15 beginning at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

The decline was driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base, a decline in video customers during the last year, $165 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $37 million in the prior year period, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups, rate adjustments and the growth of Spectrum Mobile.Internet revenue grew by 0.7% year-over-year to $5.9 billion, driven by promotional rate step-ups, rate adjustments and a favorable change in bundled revenue allocation year-over-year, partly offset by a decline in Internet customers year-over-year and a free months promotion for new customers offered by Spectrum early in the fourth quarter.Fourth quarter mobile service revenue totaled $973 million, an increase of 13.1% year-over-year, driven by mobile line growth, partly offset by less favorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year.Video revenue totaled $3.2 billion in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 10.3% compared to the prior year period, driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base, a decline in video customers during the last year, $165 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $37 million in the prior year period and more unfavorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups and video rate adjustments that pass through programmer rate increases.Voice revenue decreased by 10.3% year-over-year to $316 million, driven by a decline in wireline voice customers, partly offset by voice rate adjustments.Commercial revenue increased by 0.3% year-over-year to $1.8 billion, driven by mid-market and large business revenue growth of 2.6% year-over-year, partly offset by a decline in small business revenue of 1.3%. Mid-market and large business revenue excluding wholesale increased by 3.0% year-over-year, mostly reflecting PSU growth. The year-over-year decrease in fourth quarter 2025 small business revenue was driven by a decline in small business customer relationships year-over-year and a 0.6% decrease  year-over-year in monthly small business revenue per small business customer.Fourth quarter advertising sales revenue of $401 million decreased by 25.8% compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by lower political revenue. Excluding political revenue in both periods, advertising sales revenue increased by 0.6% year-over-year due to higher advanced advertising revenue, mostly offset by a more challenged local and national advertising market.Other revenue totaled $948 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 7.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales.Operating Costs and ExpensesFourth quarter programming costs decreased by $192 million, or 8.4% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting a higher mix of lower cost packages within Charter's video customer base, fewer video customers and $165 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $37 million in the prior year period, partly offset by contractual programming rate increases and renewals.Other costs of revenue increased by $41 million, or 2.4% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher mobile service direct costs and mobile device sales, partly offset by lower advertising sales costs given lower political revenue and lower franchise and regulatory fees.Field and technology operations expenses decreased by $69 million, or 5.1% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower labor expense.Customer operations expenses decreased by $15 million, or 1.9% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense.Marketing and residential sales expenses decreased by $2 million or 0.1% year-over-year, due to lower labor expense, offset by a change in sales mix to higher cost sales channels.Transition expenses represent incremental costs incurred to prepare for the integration of the previously announced Cox transaction.Other expenses decreased by $34 million, or 3.1% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by lower labor expense.Net Income Attributable to Charter ShareholdersNet income attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA, merger and acquisition costs related to the previously announced Cox transaction and higher income tax expense.Net income per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $10.47 in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $10.32 during the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of a 10.5% decrease in basic weighted average common shares outstanding versus the prior year period, partly offset by the factors described above.Adjusted EBITDAFourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 billion declined by 1.2% year-over-year, reflecting a decline in revenue of 2.3%, partly offset by a decrease in operating expenses of 3.1%.Capital ExpendituresCapital expenditures totaled $3.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $273 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by higher support capital and higher upgrade/rebuild (primarily network evolution) spend.Charter currently expects full year 2026 capital expenditures to total approximately $11.4 billion. The actual amount of capital expenditures in 2026 will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of Charter's network evolution and expansion initiatives, supply chain timing and growth rates in Charter's residential and commercial businesses.Cash Flow and Free Cash FlowDuring the fourth quarter of 2025, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $3.8 billion, an increase from $3.5 billion in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to lower cash taxes and lower cash paid for interest, partly offset by a more unfavorable change in working capital and lower Adjusted EBITDA.Free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $773 million, a decrease of $211 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease in free cash flow was driven by higher capital expenditures and a less favorable change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures, partly offset by higher net cash flows from operating activities.Liquidity & FinancingAs of December 31, 2025, total principal amount of debt was $94.6 billion and Charter's credit facilities provided approximately $4.4 billion of additional liquidity in excess of Charter's $477 million cash position.In January 2026, CCO Holdings, LLC ("CCO Holdings") and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due February 2033 at par and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due February 2036 at par.  The net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including to repay certain indebtedness, including the call of $750 million of CCO Holdings 5.500% senior notes due 2026 and partial call of $2.25 billion of CCO Holdings 5.125% senior notes due 2027.Share RepurchasesDuring the three months ended December 31, 2025, Charter purchased 2.9 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for $760 million.WebcastCharter will host a webcast on Friday, January 30, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) related to the contents of this release.The webcast can be accessed live via the Company's investor relations website at ir.charter.com. Participants should go to the webcast link no later than 10 minutes prior to the start time to register. The webcast will be archived at ir.charter.com two hours after completion of the webcast.Additional Information Available on WebsiteThe information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which will be posted on the "Results & SEC Filings" section of the Company's investor relations website at ir.charter.com, when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). A slide presentation to accompany the conference call and a trending schedule containing historical customer and financial data will also be available in the "Results & SEC Filings" section.Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow InformationThe Company uses certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are reconciled to net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the Addendum to this release.Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income (expenses), net and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as special charges, merger and acquisition costs and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company's businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.     Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.   Management and Charter's board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company's credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the SEC). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by its operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. The Company's debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were $331 million and $375 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.About CharterCharter Communications, Inc.

(a)Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other (income) expenses, net and other operating (income) expenses, net such as special charges, merger and acquisition costs and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by our capital structure or investment activities.  Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.(b)Other expense excludes stock compensation expense.  Total operating costs and expenses excludes stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and other operating (income) expenses, net.(c)To better reflect the converged and integrated nature of our business and operations, in the fourth quarter of 2025, we revised our customer relationship statistics to include all mobile customers, including mobile-only customers, and have added information on total connectivity customers, which represent all customers receiving our Internet and/or mobile connectivity services.  In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2025, certain reporting policies related to mobile lines were revised to better align with other Charter services.  Other minor changes were made to small business Internet customers and mid-market & large business PSUs to standardize reporting methodologies.  Prior periods have been revised accordingly.(d)We calculate the aging of customer accounts based on the monthly billing cycle for each account in accordance with our collection policies.  On that basis, at December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, customers included approximately 82,300, 87,100 and 102,500 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 60 days past due, approximately 9,700, 10,500 and 12,100 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 90 days past due and approximately 13,600, 13,200 and 13,600 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 120 days past due.     (e)Passings represent our estimate of the number of units, such as single family homes, apartment and condominium units and small business and mid-market & large business sites passed by our cable distribution network in the areas where we offer the service indicated.  These estimates are based upon the information available at this time and are updated for all periods presented when new information becomes available. (f)Customer relationships include the number of customers that receive one or more levels of service, encompassing Internet, mobile, video and voice services, without regard to which service(s) such customers receive.  Customers who reside in residential multiple dwelling units ("MDUs") and that are billed under bulk contracts are counted based on the number of billed units within each bulk MDU.  Total customer relationships exclude mid-market & large business customer relationships.(g)Penetration represents residential and small business customers as a percentage of estimated passings. (h)Monthly residential revenue per residential customer is calculated as total residential quarterly revenue divided by three divided by average residential customer relationships during the respective quarter.(i)Monthly small business revenue per small business customer is calculated as total small business quarterly revenue divided by three divided by average small business customer relationships during the respective quarter.(j)One product, two product and three or more product penetration represents the number of residential customers that subscribe to one product, two products or three or more products, respectively, as a percentage of residential customer relationships.(k)Mobile lines include phones and tablets which require one of our standard rate plans (e.g., "Unlimited" or "By the Gig").  Mobile lines exclude wearables and other devices that do not require standard phone rate plans.(l)Mid-market & large business PSUs represents the aggregate number of fiber service offerings counting each separate service offering at each customer location as an individual PSU.(m)Customer premise equipment includes equipment and devices located at the customer's premise used to deliver our Internet, video and voice services (e.g., modems, routers and set-top boxes), as well as installation costs.(n)Scalable infrastructure includes costs, not related to customer premise equipment or our network, to secure growth of new customers or provide service enhancements (e.g., headend equipment).(o)Upgrade/rebuild includes costs to modify or replace existing fiber/coaxial cable networks, including our network evolution initiative.(p)Support capital includes costs associated with the replacement or enhancement of non-network assets (e.g., back-office systems, non-network equipment, land and buildings, vehicles, tools and test equipment).(q)Line extensions include network costs associated with entering new service areas (e.g., fiber/coaxial cable, amplifiers, electronic equipment, make-ready and design engineering).(r)The subsidized rural construction initiative subcategory includes projects for which we are receiving subsidies from federal, state and local governments, excluding customer premise equipment and installation.

5G Wireless: A Dangerous ‘Experiment on Humanity’


Scientists, environmental groups, doctors and citizens around the world are appealing to all governments to halt telecommunications companies’ deployment of 5G (fifth generation) wireless networks, which they call “an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.” Research has shown that wireless radiation can cause DNA damage, neuropsychiatric effects and other health problems. RT America’s Michele Greenstein joins Rick Sanchez to discuss.
