PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

We delivered solid financial results in the second quarter, growing Adjusted EPS by 3% and generating $4.5 billion of free cash flow, while continuing to invest in our growth businesses and returning $2.9 billion to shareholders," said Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation. "Importantly, we're pleased with the early progress we are seeing with our go-to-market pivot in residential broadband. In addition, our wireless business had its best quarter ever, adding 378,000 lines, further demonstrating our competitive advantage in convergence. And we continued to deliver strong performance in Business Services, where we grew revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by mid-single digits. In Content and Experiences, revenue grew 6% led by Theme Parks, with the successful opening of Epic Universe, which is having a positive impact on our overall Universal Orlando Resort. Peacock continues to differentiate itself with premium content and one of the most robust line-ups of live sports among streaming platforms, and we're excited to build on that leadership with the addition of NBA coverage this fall. With our strategic focus, world-class assets, and disciplined capital allocation, we are well-positioned for the future and confident in our path forward."

Change percentages represent year/year growth rates. The changes in Adjusted EBITDA margins are presented as year/year basis point changes in the rounded Adjusted EBITDA margins.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, commission revenue from the sale of certain direct to consumer (“DTC”) streaming services and revenue related to certain equipment are presented in video revenue. Previously, these amounts were presented in domestic broadband and international connectivity. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the current year presentation.

Revenue for Residential Connectivity & Platforms was consistent with the prior year period but decreased when excluding the impact of foreign currency, driven by decreases in video, other and advertising revenue, offset by increases in domestic wireless, international connectivity and domestic broadband revenue. Domestic broadband revenue increased due to higher average rates, partially offset by a decline in the number of domestic broadband customers. Domestic wireless revenue increased primarily due to an increase in the number of customer lines and device sales. International connectivity revenue increased due to increases in broadband revenue from higher average rates and in wireless revenue, reflecting higher sales of wireless services, which includes the positive impact of foreign currency. Video revenue decreased due to a decline in the number of video customers, partially offset by an overall increase in average rates and the positive impact of foreign currency. Advertising revenue decreased due to lower domestic nonpolitical and political advertising and lower international advertising, partially offset by the positive impact of foreign currency. Other revenue decreased primarily due to lower residential wireline voice revenue, driven by a decline in the number of customers.

Adjusted EBITDA for Residential Connectivity & Platforms was consistent with the prior year period reflecting lower revenue mostly offset by lower operating expenses when excluding the impact of foreign currency. Programming expenses decreased primarily due to a decline in the number of domestic video customers, partially offset by rate increases under our domestic programming contracts, an increase in programming expenses for our international sports networks and the impact of foreign currency. Non-programming expenses increased primarily due to an increase in direct product costs mainly due to higher mobile device sales, as well as higher marketing and promotion costs driven by our new broadband and mobile offers introduced in April 2025, as well as the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 39.8%.

Domestic advertising revenue decreased primarily due to lower revenue at our networks, partially offset by an increase in revenue at Peacock. Domestic distribution revenue increased primarily due to higher revenue at Peacock, partially offset by lower revenue at our networks. International networks revenue increased primarily due to an increase in revenue associated with the distribution of sports networks and the positive impact of foreign currency.

Adjusted EBITDA for Media increased due to higher revenue and consistent operating expenses. The consistent operating expenses were primarily due to decreases in programming and production costs, offset by an increase in marketing and promotion expenses, each primarily related to Peacock. Media results include $1.2 billion of revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA7 loss of $101 million related to Peacock, compared to $1.0 billion of revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA7 loss of $348 million in the prior year period.

Theatrical revenue increased primarily due to the successful performance of recent releases, including How to Train Your Dragon.

Adjusted EBITDA for Studios decreased due to higher operating expenses, which more than offset higher revenue. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by higher programming and production expenses, mainly due to higher costs associated with content licensing sales, and higher marketing and promotion expenses due to increased spending on recent and upcoming theatrical film releases.

Corporate & Other

Corporate & Other primarily includes overhead and personnel costs; our Sky-branded video services and television networks in Germany; Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Xumo. Corporate & Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily reflecting a decrease at Spectacor and higher costs related to corporate functions.

Eliminations

Amounts represent eliminations of transactions between Connectivity & Platforms, Content & Experiences and other businesses, the most significant being distribution of television network programming between the Media and Residential Connectivity & Platforms segments.

Notes:

1

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders, respectively, adjusted to exclude the effects of the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, investments that investors may want to evaluate separately (such as based on fair value) and the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect period-over-period comparisons. See Table 5 for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

2

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. See Table 4 for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure.

3

All earnings per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.

4

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets. From time to time, we may exclude from Free Cash Flow the impact of certain cash receipts or payments (such as significant legal settlements) that affect period-to-period comparability. Cash payments related to certain capital or intangible assets, such as the construction of Universal Beijing Resort, are presented separately in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and are therefore excluded from capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets for Free Cash Flow. See Table 4 for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure.

5

Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, Business Services Connectivity customer relationships and Domestic Broadband Business customers include connections from the acquisition of Nitel and other conforming changes, resulting in an increase of 124,000 Business Services Connectivity customer relationships and an increase of 123,000 domestic broadband business customers as of April 1, 2025. Because these adjustments were made as of April 1, 2025, they are not reflected in prior period customer metrics or in net additions / (losses) in prior and current year periods.

6

Constant currency growth rates are calculated by comparing the results for each comparable prior year period adjusted to reflect the average exchange rates from each current year period presented rather than the actual exchange rates that were in effect during the respective periods. See Table 6 for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

7

Adjusted EBITDA is the measure of profit or loss for our segments. From time to time, we may present Adjusted EBITDA for components of our reportable segments, such as Peacock. We believe these measures are useful to evaluate our financial results and provide a basis of comparison to others, although our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA for components are presented on a consistent basis with the respective segments and disaggregated in accordance with GAAP.

Numerical information is presented on a rounded basis using actual amounts, unless otherwise noted. The change in Peacock paid subscribers is calculated using rounded paid subscriber amounts. Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes transaction and transaction-related costs associated with the proposed spin-off of Versant, as well as other operating and administrative expenses related to our investment portfolio. Transaction costs are incremental costs directly related to effectuating the proposed spin-off and primarily include legal, audit and advisory fees as well as legal entity separation costs. Transaction-related costs are incremental costs incurred in anticipation of the separation, including costs that reflect strategic decisions about how the standalone Versant business will be structured or operated, which may be different than if it remained part of Comcast. Transaction-related costs primarily include certain spin-related employee compensation, severance and retention bonuses; IT separation and implementation costs; and other one-time costs.
