How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

Charter lost Internet and video customers on a pro forma basis but added mobile lines in the quarter.

During the third quarter, Charter Operating and a co-issuer issued four senior secured note tranches—one for $1.75 billion and three for $1 billion each—adding debt obligations.

The proceeds were used for the Cox Transactions’ cash consideration and general corporate purposes, including debt repayment and related costs.

At September 30, 2026, total principal debt was $108.6 billion; credit facilities provided approximately $2.4 billion of additional liquidity above the company’s $573 million cash position.

On a pro forma basis, quarterly net additions were negative for Internet customers (233,000) and video customers (77,000), while mobile lines increased by 508,000.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

Free cash flow financial

"Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

Pro forma financial

"Pro forma results present the Cox Transactions as if they had closed on January 1, 2024"

Pro forma refers to financial information that is prepared based on estimates or adjustments to show what a company's results might look like under certain scenarios, such as new projects or acquisitions. It helps investors understand the potential impact of future events by providing a clear, hypothetical view of financial performance, much like a weather forecast shows possible future conditions.

Charter Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results and Launches New Operating Model

New operating model designed to return Charter to growth and transform organization for speed and efficiency.

Will strengthen core Internet offerings and leverage differentiated mobile and video products to drive customer growth and maximize revenue per passing.

Announces new $2 billion in annualized expense savings plan, in addition to the over $1 billion in planned Cox Transactions synergies.

STAMFORD, Connecticut - November 6, 2026 - Charter Communications, Inc. (along with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Charter”) today reported financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and announced a new operating model designed to return the Company to growth, unlock the full potential of its expanded scale following its acquisition of Cox Communications and capitalize on the market growth in demand for data.

"With the combination of Charter and Cox, we have the scale and network capabilities to connect more Americans than ever before," said Chris Winfrey, President and CEO of Charter. "We are America’s Internet Company® and our purpose is Connecting Gigabit America. Today, we are announcing decisive steps to unlock our full potential."

Winfrey continued, "We are fundamentally rethinking how we operate and compete, with a renewed focus on delivering the best products and services. We will return Charter to Internet customer growth and transform Charter into a simpler, faster, more agile organization – and reignite our culture to win. We have the assets and competitive advantages to succeed and are moving with urgency to deliver more value for our customers and stronger results for our investors."

New Operating Model Centered on Growth and Efficiency

Charter is reformulating its go-to-market approach for its core Internet offering, marketing and distribution, and will further leverage its differentiated mobile and video products to drive growth and provide greater value for customers. This new operating model is focused on accelerating new customer connects as well as improving retention and customer satisfaction with improved execution of its service delivery. By delivering added value and improving its service reputation, Charter will deepen customer relationships and maximize revenue per passing over the long term.

In parallel, Charter is undertaking a fundamental redesign of how it operates, reducing complexity, accelerating decision-making and focusing resources on the activities that contribute most directly to growth and stronger performance. As part of this transformation, the Company is targeting $2 billion in annualized run-rate operating expense savings over the next 18 months, in addition to more than $1 billion in anticipated Cox Transactions synergies.

The savings program will focus on eliminating nonessential activities, simplifying organizational structures and driving greater efficiencies through vendor partnerships. Together, these initiatives are expected to strengthen Charter's competitive position, drive improved financial performance and support significantly higher free cash flow generation over time.

Cox Transactions Completed, Adding Significant Opportunity for Charter’s Growth

On August 19, 2026, Charter completed its transactions between the Company and Cox Communications, Inc. ("Cox Communications") (the "Cox Transactions"). The Cox Transactions added more than 11 million passings and over 5 million customer relationships, making Charter the nation's leading Internet and video provider. The acquisition expands Charter's presence in attractive, high-growth markets, including Phoenix and Las Vegas, and complementary markets across the country, creating significant opportunities to increase residential and small business customer penetration.

•In this release, actual results reflect the operations of Charter for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and Cox Communications for the period from August 20, 2026 through September 30, 2026.

•Pro forma results present the Cox Transactions as if they had closed on January 1, 2024 and include the operations of Charter and Cox Communications for the full three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

On September 16, 2026, Charter launched Spectrum's products, pricing and packaging across the legacy Cox footprint, bringing its Internet, mobile and video offerings to more than 11 million homes and businesses. Since launch, Charter has seen strong demand from consumers and an improvement in customer trends across the legacy Cox footprint.

•Spectrum Internet® customers declined by 233,000 on a pro forma basis during the third quarter, including a decline of 156,000 Internet customers at legacy Charter and 77,000 at legacy Cox. As of September 30, 2026, Charter served 34.3 million Internet customers.

•On a pro forma basis, video customers decreased by 77,000 in the third quarter compared to a decline of 121,000 in the prior-year period, and declined by 256,000, or 1.8%, over the last twelve months.

•As of September 30, 2026, Spectrum customer relationships totaled 36.7 million and connectivity customers totaled 35.4 million.

•Pro forma third quarter revenue of $16.5 billion declined 1.5% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower residential revenue. On an actual basis, third quarter revenue of $14.9 billion increased 9.1% year-over-year, primarily driven by the Cox Transactions.

•Pro forma third quarter net loss attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $2.1 billion, while on an actual basis, net loss attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $2.4 billion, with both results primarily driven by a $6.3 billion franchise impairment charge.

•Pro forma third quarter Adjusted EBITDA2 of $6.6 billion declined 4.0% year-over-year and 3.0% excluding transition expenses. On an actual basis, third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 billion grew 6.9% year-over-year, primarily driven by the Cox Transactions.

•Third quarter actual net cash flows from operating activities of $4.0 billion versus $4.5 billion in the prior year driven by timing of cash tax payments year-over-year and one-time cash costs related to the Cox Transactions.

•Third quarter actual free cash flow2 of $674 million declined $947 million versus the prior year, primarily due to lower net cash flows from operating activities and an unfavorable change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.

•During the quarter, Charter exchanged $5.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of secured notes for a combination of approximately $4.0 billion in cash and new secured notes, resulting in approximately $1.5 billion in deleveraging, and repaid $1.0 billion of legacy Cox notes at maturity.

2.Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures defined in the “Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Information” section and are reconciled to net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the addendum of this news release.

Third Quarter Performance Highlights

On September 16, 2026, Charter launched Spectrum Day across the legacy Cox footprint, introducing Spectrum’s products, pricing and packaging to more than 11 million homes and businesses. Customers in legacy Cox markets now have access to Internet with no data caps, a year of free Spectrum Mobile for eligible customers, a $1,000 Savings Guarantee for customers who bundle Internet and two Mobile lines and TV plans with up to $132 per month in streaming app value. Customers will also benefit from Spectrum’s Customer Commitment, supported by 100% U.S.-based employees, with Spectrum fully returning legacy Cox’s customer service function to the U.S. over the next 18 months. Since launch, Charter has seen strong demand from consumers and an improvement in customer trends across the legacy Cox footprint.

On a pro forma basis, third quarter Internet customers decreased by 233,000, compared to a decline of 171,000 during the third quarter of 2025. Legacy Charter lost 156,000 Internet customers versus a loss of 109,000 during the third quarter of 2025. Spectrum increasingly offers symmetrical and multi-gigabit Internet speeds across its entire footprint and has launched symmetrical Internet service in several markets. In February 2026, Spectrum launched its Invincible WiFiTM product, a tri-band advanced WiFi 7 router that integrates 5G cellular and battery backup to keep customers seamlessly and fully connected during a power outage or network disruption. In the first quarter of 2026, Spectrum launched its $1,000 savings guarantee; new or existing Spectrum Internet customers switching two or more mobile lines from Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile are guaranteed $1,000 of savings in their first year, or Spectrum will cover the difference.

During the third quarter of 2026, Charter added 508,000 mobile lines on a pro forma basis, compared to an increase of 514,000 during the third quarter of 2025. Legacy Charter added 440,000 mobile lines versus an increase of 482,000 during the third quarter of 2025. Spectrum Mobile has faster wireless speeds than the competition (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon).1

Video customers decreased by 77,000 in the third quarter of 2026 on a pro forma basis, compared to a decline of 121,000 in the third quarter of 2025. Legacy Charter lost 38,000 video customers versus a loss of 70,000 during the third quarter of 2025, with the improvement driven by benefits from the inclusion of programmers' streaming applications in Spectrum's expanded basic video packages and simplified pricing and packaging.

Spectrum Stream TV video customers now receive up to approximately $132 per month of programmers' streaming application retail value at no extra cost, including the ad-supported versions of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, AMC+, ViX, Tennis Channel, Fox One and Discovery+. Beginning in June 2026, Spectrum customers can purchase ad-supported and ad-free versions of Netflix through Spectrum App Central. Spectrum App Central is an innovative digital marketplace where Spectrum TV customers can activate, manage and upgrade the streaming apps included with their video plans. Spectrum App Central also allows Spectrum customers without a traditional TV package to purchase and manage streaming apps à la carte.

Charter continues to work with federal, state and local governments to bring Spectrum Internet to unserved and underserved communities. During the third quarter of 2026, legacy Charter activated 116,000 subsidized rural passings. Within legacy Charter's subsidized rural footprint, total customer relationships increased by 48,000 in the third quarter of 2026.

Revenues

On a pro forma basis, third quarter revenue decreased by 1.5% year-over-year to $16.5 billion, driven by lower residential video revenue mostly due to higher costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue and lower residential Internet revenue, partly offset by higher mobile device revenue, an increase in residential mobile service revenue and higher advertising sales revenue. Excluding advertising sales revenue and costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, third quarter total revenue declined by 1.0% year-over-year on a pro forma basis. On an actual basis, third quarter revenue increased by 9.1% year-over-year to $14.9 billion, driven by the Cox Transactions.

Pro forma residential revenue totaled $12.2 billion in the third quarter, a decrease of 4.1% year-over-year, driven by a year-over-year decline in residential customers of 2.7% and a decrease in monthly residential revenue per residential customer of 1.6%. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, residential revenue declined by 2.6% on a pro forma basis. On an actual basis, residential revenue totaled $11.2 billion in the third quarter, an increase of 4.8% year-over-year, driven by the Cox Transactions.

Third quarter pro forma 2026 monthly residential revenue per residential customer totaled $117.85, a decrease of 1.6% compared to the prior year period. The decline was driven by pricing and packaging mix within Charter's customer base, $286 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications

and netted within video revenue versus $106 million in the prior year period and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by the growth of Spectrum Mobile. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, monthly residential revenue per residential customer decreased 0.1% compared to the prior year period on a pro forma basis.

On a pro forma basis, Internet revenue declined 3.7% year-over-year to $7.1 billion, driven by a decline in Internet customers year-over-year and pricing and packaging mix within Charter's customer base, partly offset by more favorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year, promotional rate step-ups and rate adjustments. On an actual basis, Internet revenue increased 7.1% year-over-year to $6.4 billion, driven by the Cox Transactions.

Pro forma third quarter mobile service revenue totaled $1.2 billion, an increase of 17.3% year-over-year, driven by mobile line growth and rate adjustments. On an actual basis, third quarter mobile service revenue totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of 18.9% year-over-year, driven by the Cox Transactions.

Pro forma video revenue totaled $3.6 billion in the third quarter, a decrease of 9.8% compared to the prior year period, driven by $286 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $106 million in the prior year period, more unfavorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year, a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base 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. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, video revenue declined 5.2% year-over-year. On an actual basis, video revenue totaled $3.3 billion in the third quarter, a decrease of 2.9% compared to the prior year period, with the Cox Transactions partly offsetting the decrease.

On a pro forma basis, voice revenue decreased by 6.8% year-over-year to $366 million, driven by a decline in wireline voice customers, partly offset by voice rate adjustments. On an actual basis, voice revenue increased by 2.6% year-over-year to $340 million, driven by the Cox Transactions.

On a pro forma basis, commercial revenue increased by 0.3% year-over-year to $2.7 billion, driven by legacy Charter mid-market and large business revenue growth of 2.1% year-over-year, partly offset by a decline in legacy Cox business revenue of 1.1%. On an actual basis, commercial revenue increased by 22.6% year-over-year to $2.2 billion, driven by the Cox Transactions.

Pro forma third quarter advertising sales revenue of $487 million increased by 21.0% compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher political advertising revenue. On a pro forma basis, excluding political advertising revenue in both periods, advertising sales revenue decreased by 5.2% year-over-year driven by lower linear advertising revenue, partly offset by higher streaming advertising revenue. On an actual basis, third quarter advertising sales revenue of $460 million increased by 29.2% compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher political advertising revenue and the Cox Transactions.

On a pro forma basis, other revenue totaled $1.1 billion in the third quarter, an increase of 18.1% compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales. On an actual basis, other revenue totaled $1.1 billion in the third quarter, an increase of 26.0% compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales and the Cox Transactions.

Operating Costs and Expenses

On a pro forma basis, third quarter total operating costs and expenses increased 0.2% year-over-year to $9.9 billion, primarily driven by higher other costs of revenue, offset by lower programming costs. On an actual basis, third quarter total operating costs and expenses increased by 10.7% year-over-year, primarily driven by the Cox Transactions.

On a pro forma basis, third quarter programming costs decreased by $271 million, or 10.3% as compared to the third quarter of 2025, reflecting $286 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $106 million in the prior year period, fewer video customers and a higher mix of lower cost packages within Charter's video customer base, partly offset by contractual programming rate increases and renewals.

Other costs of revenue increased by $295 million, or 15.0% year-over-year, on a pro forma basis, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales, higher mobile service direct costs and higher advertising sales costs given higher political revenue.

On a pro forma basis, field and technology operations expenses increased by $62 million, or 3.8% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher vehicle fuel costs, higher labor expense and higher pole rent.

Customer operations expenses decreased by $18 million, or 1.9% year-over-year, on a pro forma basis, driven by lower labor expense.

Marketing and residential sales expenses decreased by $21 million or 1.8% year-over-year, on a pro forma basis, due to lower marketing expenses from cost savings, despite higher marketing activity.

Transition expenses, which represent incremental costs incurred for the integration of the Cox Transactions, totaled $76 million.

On a pro forma basis, other expenses decreased by $103 million, or 6.3% as compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by lower labor expense.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Charter Shareholders

Pro forma net loss attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decline in pro forma net income was primarily driven by an impairment of franchises of $6.3 billion, partly offset by a gain on extinguishment of debt related to debt exchanges of $1.4 billion, lower net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and lower income tax expense. On an actual basis, net loss attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the aforementioned factors.

Actual net loss per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $20.50 in the third quarter of 2026 compared to income of $8.50 during the same period last year. The change was primarily the result of the factors described above as well as a 12.6% decrease in basic weighted average common shares outstanding versus the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA

Third quarter pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $6.6 billion declined by 4.0% year-over-year, reflecting a decline in revenue of 1.5% and an increase in operating costs and expenses of 0.2%. Excluding transition expenses, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA declined 3.0% year-over-year. On an actual basis, third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 billion increased by 6.9% year-over-year due to the Cox Transactions.

Capital Expenditures

Pro forma capital expenditures totaled $3.2 billion in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.6 billion in the prior year period, given lower line extension spend and lower scalable infrastructure spend, partly offset by higher upgrade/rebuild (primarily network evolution). On an actual basis, capital

expenditures totaled $3.0 billion in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.1 billion in the third quarter of 2025.

Charter expects pro forma full year 2026 capital expenditures, excluding transition capital expenditures, to total approximately $13.0 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 Flow

During the third quarter of 2026, actual net cash flows from operating activities totaled $4.0 billion, a decrease from $4.5 billion in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease was driven by timing of cash tax payments and one-time cash costs related to the Cox Transactions.

Actual free cash flow in the third quarter of 2026 totaled $674 million, a decrease of $947 million compared to the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease in free cash flow was driven by lower net cash flows from operating activities and an unfavorable change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.

Liquidity & Financing

As of September 30, 2026, total principal amount of debt was $108.6 billion and Charter's credit facilities provided approximately $2.4 billion of additional liquidity in excess of Charter's $573 million cash position.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating") and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.75 billion of 6.050% senior secured notes due February 2032 at a price of 99.839% of the aggregate principal amount, $1.0 billion of 6.600% senior secured notes due February 2034 at a price of 99.896% of the aggregate principal amount, $1.0 billion of 6.950% senior secured notes due August 2036 at a price of 99.937% of the aggregate principal amount and $1.0 billion of 7.850% senior secured notes due August 2056 at a price of 99.921% of the aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds were used to pay the cash consideration for the Cox Transactions and for general corporate purposes, including to repay certain indebtedness and to pay related fees and expenses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, Charter Operating, Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. and Time Warner Cable, LLC exchanged approximately $5.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of various series of senior secured notes for a combination of $622 million in cash and approximately $1.7 billion of 7.087% senior secured notes due September 2038 issued at par and approximately $1.7 billion of 7.337% senior secured notes due September 2041 issued at par.

Share Repurchases

During the third quarter, Charter purchased 139,807 shares of Charter Class A common stock for $19 million.

Additional Information Available on Website

The 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 Information

The 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 (loss) attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment of franchises, stock compensation expense, other income (expenses), net and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as restructuring costs, 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 $377 million and $1.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $350 million and $1.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FOOTNOTES

(a)Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment of franchises, stock compensation expense, other (income) expenses, net and other operating (income) expenses, net such as restructuring costs, 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)Pro forma results reflect the acquisition of Cox Communications as if it occurred as of the earliest period presented.

(c)Transition represents incremental costs incurred to prepare for the integration of Cox Communications’ operations and to bring systems and processes into a uniform operating structure.

(d)Other expense excludes stock compensation expense. Total operating costs and expenses excludes stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and other operating (income) expenses, net.

(e)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 September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, customers included approximately 101,800, 84,000, 82,300 and 87,100 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 60 days past due, approximately 11,700, 10,100, 9,700 and 10,500 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 90 days past due and approximately 17,700, 13,400, 13,600 and 13,200 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 120 days past due. Past due accounts for periods prior to September 30, 2026 are for legacy Charter only.

(f)Legacy Charter passings represent an estimate of the number of units passed by legacy Charter’s cable distribution network in areas where the indicated service is offered, such as single-family homes, apartment and condominium units, as well as small business and mid-market & large business sites. Legacy Cox Communications passings are residential only and represent an estimate of the number of units passed by legacy Cox Communications’ cable distribution network in areas where the indicated service is offered, including single-family homes and apartment and condominium units. These estimates are based on the information currently available and are updated for all periods presented as new information becomes available.

(g)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 legacy Charter mid-market & large business customer relationships and legacy Cox Communications business customers.

(h)Small business and mid-market & large customer statistics reflect data for legacy Charter customers only.

(i)Penetration represents customer relationships as a percentage of the applicable estimated passings.

(j)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.

(k)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.

(l)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.

(m)Connectivity customers represent all customers receiving our Internet and/or mobile connectivity services.

(n)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.

(o)Video customers only include customers that purchase traditional or streaming linear video packages and exclude customers that only purchase streaming applications.

(p)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.

(q)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).

(r)Upgrade/rebuild includes costs to modify or replace existing fiber/coaxial cable networks, including our network evolution initiative.

(s)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).

(t)Line extensions include network costs associated with entering new service areas (e.g., fiber/coaxial cable, amplifiers, electronic equipment, make-ready and design engineering).
