Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Comcast’s Q2 2025 10-Q shows modest top-line growth but results are dominated by a one-time Hulu gain. Revenue rose 2.1% YoY to $30.3 bn as Connectivity & Platforms remained flat (+0.7%) and Content & Experiences climbed 5.6% on a 18.9% surge at Theme Parks following Epic Universe’s May opening. Programming and production spend fell 4.8%, yet total costs rose 5.5%, compressing operating income 9.7% to $6.0 bn.
Bottom-line benefited from portfolio actions. A $9.4 bn pre-tax gain on the sale of the 33% Hulu stake propelled investment & other income to $9.8 bn, driving net income attributable to Comcast to $11.1 bn (EPS $2.98) versus $3.9 bn (EPS $1.00) a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA edged up 1.1% to $10.3 bn.
Cash & balance sheet. Six-month operating cash flow jumped 28% to $16.1 bn, comfortably covering $4.9 bn capex, $4.1 bn share buybacks and $2.5 bn dividends. Net debt rose slightly to $101.5 bn carrying value; fair value sits at $93.3 bn. Cash ended at $9.7 bn, augmented by Hulu proceeds.
Strategic moves. Comcast closed the $1.3 bn cash purchase of managed-network provider Nitel, folded into Business Services Connectivity, and reaffirmed plans to spin off Versant Media Group by end-2025.
- Domestic broadband customers –426k YTD; video customers –751k YTD.
- Theme Parks revenue $2.35 bn (+19%); Studios revenue +8% to $2.43 bn.
- Quarterly dividend declared $0.33; 40 m RSUs granted at $35.78.
Il 10-Q del secondo trimestre 2025 di Comcast mostra una modesta crescita dei ricavi, ma i risultati sono dominati da un guadagno una tantum derivante da Hulu. I ricavi sono aumentati del 2,1% su base annua, raggiungendo i 30,3 miliardi di dollari, con la divisione Connectivity & Platforms sostanzialmente stabile (+0,7%) e Content & Experiences in crescita del 5,6%, trainata da un aumento del 18,9% nei parchi a tema dopo l'apertura di Epic Universe a maggio. La spesa per programmazione e produzione è diminuita del 4,8%, ma i costi totali sono saliti del 5,5%, comprimendo l'utile operativo del 9,7% a 6,0 miliardi di dollari.
Il risultato netto ha beneficiato di operazioni sul portafoglio. Un guadagno ante imposte di 9,4 miliardi di dollari dalla vendita della quota del 33% in Hulu ha portato i ricavi da investimenti e altre attività a 9,8 miliardi, spingendo l'utile netto attribuibile a Comcast a 11,1 miliardi di dollari (EPS 2,98$) rispetto ai 3,9 miliardi (EPS 1,00$) dell'anno precedente. L'EBITDA rettificato è aumentato dell'1,1%, raggiungendo i 10,3 miliardi.
Flussi di cassa e bilancio. Il flusso di cassa operativo semestrale è salito del 28% a 16,1 miliardi di dollari, coprendo agevolmente 4,9 miliardi di investimenti in capitale, 4,1 miliardi di riacquisti di azioni e 2,5 miliardi di dividendi. Il debito netto è leggermente aumentato a 101,5 miliardi di valore contabile; il valore equo è di 93,3 miliardi. La liquidità finale è stata di 9,7 miliardi, incrementata dai proventi di Hulu.
Mosse strategiche. Comcast ha completato l'acquisto in contanti da 1,3 miliardi di dollari del fornitore di reti gestite Nitel, integrandolo nella divisione Business Services Connectivity, e ha confermato i piani per lo spin-off di Versant Media Group entro la fine del 2025.
- Clienti domestici broadband: -426mila da inizio anno; clienti video: -751mila da inizio anno.
- Ricavi parchi a tema: 2,35 miliardi (+19%); ricavi studi cinematografici: +8% a 2,43 miliardi.

Comcasts 10-Q für das zweite Quartal 2025 zeigt ein moderates Umsatzwachstum, wobei die Ergebnisse von einem einmaligen Gewinn aus Hulu dominiert werden. Der Umsatz stieg im Jahresvergleich um 2,1 % auf 30,3 Mrd. USD, wobei Connectivity & Platforms nahezu unverändert blieb (+0,7 %) und Content & Experiences um 5,6 % zulegte, angetrieben von einem 18,9 %igen Anstieg in den Freizeitparks nach der Eröffnung von Epic Universe im Mai. Die Ausgaben für Programmierung und Produktion sanken um 4,8 %, jedoch stiegen die Gesamtkosten um 5,5 %, was das Betriebsergebnis um 9,7 % auf 6,0 Mrd. USD drückte.
Das Nettoergebnis profitierte von Portfolioaktionen. Ein Vorsteuergewinn von 9,4 Mrd. USD aus dem Verkauf des 33%-Anteils an Hulu trieb die Erträge aus Investitionen und anderen Quellen auf 9,8 Mrd. USD und führte zu einem dem Comcast zurechenbaren Nettogewinn von 11,1 Mrd. USD (EPS 2,98) gegenüber 3,9 Mrd. USD (EPS 1,00) im Vorjahr. Das bereinigte EBITDA stieg leicht um 1,1 % auf 10,3 Mrd. USD.
Barmittel & Bilanz. Der operative Cashflow über sechs Monate stieg um 28 % auf 16,1 Mrd. USD und deckte bequem 4,9 Mrd. USD Investitionen, 4,1 Mrd. USD Aktienrückkäufe und 2,5 Mrd. USD Dividenden ab. Die Nettoverschuldung stieg leicht auf 101,5 Mrd. USD Buchwert; der beizulegende Zeitwert liegt bei 93,3 Mrd. USD. Der Kassenbestand schloss bei 9,7 Mrd. USD, verstärkt durch die Hulu-Erlöse.

Positive
- $9.4 bn gain and $9.6 bn cash infusion from Hulu sale strengthen liquidity.
- Operating cash flow $16.1 bn YTD, up 28%, comfortably funds capex, buybacks and dividends.

- Programming costs down 5.9% in Q2, aiding margin preservation.
- Adjusted EBITDA reached $10.3 bn, a record for a second quarter.
Negative

- Domestic broadband customers fell 426 k YTD; video losses 751 k, highlighting competitive headwinds.
- Debt remains high at $101.5 bn carrying value with rising interest expense (+7.7%).
- Marketing & promotion spend rose 12.8%, reflecting higher acquisition costs amid subscriber churn.
Insights
TL;DR: Earnings beat headline, but core operations mixed; one-off Hulu gain inflates EPS.
Core connectivity remains challenged: domestic broadband and video subscribers declined again despite modest ARPU gains, and operating income fell almost 10%. However, cost discipline in programming and incremental price actions kept Adjusted EBITDA positive. The $9.4 bn Hulu divestiture crystallises value and boosts cash, partially offsetting a still-hefty $102 bn debt load. Cash flow strength funds buybacks and the 3% yield without stressing leverage. Near term, shares will trade on ex-Hulu optics; investors should adjust models for a cleaner FY-26 base once Versant spins.
TL;DR: Park momentum solid; Media modest; broadband softness persists.
Epic Universe lifted Theme Parks revenue almost 19%, validating Comcast’s capex into experiential assets. Media ad revenue slipped 5.8% amid softer domestic markets, but distribution fees held up. Studios gained 8% thanks to content licensing. The proposed Versant spin should streamline NBCU cable assets, yet execution and market multiples remain open questions. Management must arrest broadband churn—now 48.6% penetration versus 50.7% LY—to underpin long-term growth.

Explanatory Note
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q modifies and supersedes documents filed before it. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you directly to those documents. Information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless indicated otherwise, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to Comcast and its consolidated subsidiaries as “Comcast,” “we,” “us” and “our.”
Numerical information in this report is presented on a rounded basis using actual amounts. Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding.
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. These may include estimates, projections and statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, which are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “potential,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “commit,” “plan,” “goal,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks and uncertainties we describe in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in other reports we file with the SEC.
Any of these factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, which could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
Our businesses may be affected by, among other things, the following:
•our businesses operate in highly competitive and dynamic industries, and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not compete effectively
•changes in consumer behavior continue to adversely affect our businesses and challenge existing business models
•a decline in advertisers’ expenditures or changes in advertising markets could negatively impact our businesses
•our success depends on consumer acceptance of our content, and our businesses may be adversely affected if our content fails to achieve sufficient consumer acceptance
•programming expenses for our video services are increasing on a per subscriber basis, which could adversely affect our video businesses
•the loss of programming distribution agreements, or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms, could adversely affect our businesses
•our businesses depend on using and protecting certain intellectual property rights and on not infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others
•we may be unable to obtain necessary hardware, software and operational support
•our businesses depend on keeping pace with technological developments
•a cyber attack, information or security breach, or technology disruption or failure may negatively impact our ability to conduct our business or result in the misuse of confidential information, all of which could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations
•weak economic conditions may have a negative impact on our businesses
•acquisitions and other strategic initiatives present many risks, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals that we had contemplated
•we face risks relating to doing business internationally that could adversely affect our businesses
•natural disasters, severe weather and other uncontrollable events could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations
•the loss of key management personnel or popular on-air and creative talent could have an adverse effect on our businesses
•labor disputes, whether involving employees or sports organizations, may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our businesses
•we are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and foreign authorities, which impose additional costs and restrictions on our businesses
•unfavorable litigation or governmental investigation results could require us to pay significant amounts or lead to onerous operating procedures
•our Class B common stock has substantial voting rights and separate approval rights over several potentially material transactions, and our Chairman and CEO has considerable influence over our company through his beneficial ownership of our Class B common stock

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
In November 2024, we announced our intention to create Versant Media Group, Inc. (“Versant”), a new independent publicly traded company comprised of select cable television networks along with complementary digital assets through a tax-free spin-off. We are targeting to complete the spin-off around the end of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including obtaining final approval from our Board of Directors, satisfactory completion of Versant financings, receipt of tax opinions and receipt of any regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that a separation transaction will occur, or, if one does, of its terms or timing. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes do not reflect the proposed spin-off.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Refer to Note 3 for a discussion of the changes in our presentation of disaggregated revenue.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated accounting guidance related to income tax disclosures. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires additional disclosure primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We will adopt the updated accounting guidance in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance related to disclosures about certain costs and expenses. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires quantitative disclosures for employee compensation, selling expenses and purchases of inventory. The updated guidance is effective beginning in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027.
Note 2: Segment Information
We are a global media and technology company with five segments: Residential Connectivity & Platforms, Business Services Connectivity, Media, Studios and Theme Parks.
Our financial data by segment is presented in the tables below. We do not present asset information for our segments as this information is not used to allocate resources.

Acquisitions
In April 2025, we acquired Nitel, a network-as-a-service managed service provider, for total cash consideration of $1.3 billion. The acquisition will enhance our ability to serve and provide connectivity solutions to enterprise customers. Nitel’s results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition and are reported in our Business Services Connectivity segment. We have recorded a preliminary estimate of Nitel’s assets and liabilities with approximately $1.1 billion recorded to goodwill and the remainder primarily attributed to customer relationship intangible assets. These estimates are not yet final and are subject to change. The acquisition was not material to our consolidated results of operations.

The amount of cash distributions received from equity method investments presented within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $69 million and $66 million, respectively.
Atairos
Atairos is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that follows investment company accounting and records its investments at their fair values each reporting period with the net gains or losses reflected in its statement of operations. We recognize our share of these gains and losses in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we made cash capital contributions totaling $103 million and $26 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our investment, inclusive of advances classified within other investments, was $5.0 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, our remaining unfunded capital commitment was $1.3 billion.
Hulu
In June 2025, we sold our 33 % interest in Hulu following the finalization of a third-party appraisal of Hulu’s fair value performed pursuant to the terms of our put right exercised in November 2023. We received total cash proceeds of $9.6 billion for our interest, consisting of $439 million in the second quarter of 2025 and a $9.2 billion advance received in the fourth quarter of 2023. The advance represented our guaranteed share of Hulu’s minimum equity value pursuant to the terms of our put right and was reduced by $557 million in 2023 for our share of prior capital calls. Upon the sale of our interest in Hulu in the second quarter of 2025, we recorded a receivable of $792 million relating to our right to receive 50 % of the estimated future tax benefits resulting from the transaction and we recognized a pre-tax gain of $9.4 billion.
The gain on the sale of our investment in Hulu is presented in “other income (loss), net” within “investment and other income (loss), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of income. The additional proceeds received in the current year period are presented in “proceeds from sales of businesses and investments” in investing activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The receivable relating to our right to receive estimated future tax benefits is presented in “other current assets” and “other noncurrent assets, net” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (“Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a global media and technology company with two primary businesses: Connectivity & Platforms and Content & Experiences. We present the operations of (1) our Connectivity & Platforms business in two segments: Residential Connectivity & Platforms and Business Services Connectivity; and (2) our Content & Experiences business in three segments: Media, Studios and Theme Parks. The discussion and analysis that follows includes the results of the cable television networks and complementary digital assets proposed to be included in the spin-off and does not reflect or give effect to what our results of operations and financial condition may be following the spin-off, if consummated.
A substantial portion of our revenue comes from customers whose spending patterns may be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Uncertain economic conditions, including as a result of geopolitical dynamics, changes in trade policies and foreign exchange rates could adversely affect demand for our products or services and have a negative impact on our results of operations. For a discussion of these factors and other risks, refer to Risk Factors in Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consolidated revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in the Content & Experiences business. Consolidated revenue remained consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by an increase in the Content & Experiences business, offset by a decrease in Corporate and Other. Revenue for our segments and other businesses is discussed separately below under the heading “Segment Operating Results.”
Consolidated costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases in the Content & Experiences business and in Corporate and Other. Consolidated costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, remained consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in the Content & Experiences business, partially offset by a decrease in Corporate and Other. Costs and expenses for our segments and our corporate operations and other businesses are discussed separately below under the heading “Segment Operating Results.”
Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to increased amortization of certain acquisition-related intangible assets related to the linear media business, impairments of certain long-lived assets in the current year period and increased depreciation due to the opening of Epic Universe in May 2025.
Amortization expense from acquisition-related intangible assets totaled $810 million and $1.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $563 million and $1.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Amounts primarily relate to customer relationship intangible assets recorded in connection with the Sky transaction in 2018 and the NBCUniversal transaction in 2011.
Consolidated interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in average debt outstanding and higher weighted-average interest rates in the current year periods, as well as decreased capitalized interest.
Consolidated investment and other income (loss), net increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024.

The change in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to our investments in Atairos and Hulu. The change in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to our investment in Hulu. The income (losses) at Atairos were driven by fair value adjustments on its underlying investments with income (loss) of $(26) million and $(194) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $(391) million and $(196) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
The change in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a gain on the sale of a nonmarketable security in the current year periods and by higher net unrealized losses on nonmarketable and marketable securities in the prior year periods.
The change in other income (loss), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily resulted from a $9.4 billion gain from the sale of our interest in Hulu in the current year period (see Note 7).
Consolidated income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 reflects an effective income tax rate that differs from the federal statutory rate due to state and foreign income taxes and adjustments associated with uncertain tax positions. The increase in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 were primarily driven by higher domestic income before income taxes.
Consolidated net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests changed for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to Universal Beijing Resort. Consolidated net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests changed for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to Universal Beijing Resort, partially offset by our regional sports networks and Xumo.

(a)Our Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

(b)Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section on page 26 for additional information, including our definition and our use of constant currency, and for a reconciliation of constant currency amounts.
We continue to focus on growing our higher-margin connectivity businesses while managing overall operating costs. We also continue to invest in our network to support higher-speed broadband offerings and to expand the number of homes and businesses passed. Our customer relationship additions/(losses) continue to be negatively impacted by an increasingly competitive environment. We are focused on increasing our residential connectivity revenue through growth in domestic broadband, domestic wireless and international connectivity revenue. At the same time, we expect continued declines in video revenue as a result of domestic customer net losses due to shifting video consumption patterns and the competitive environment, although customer net losses typically mitigate the impact of continued rate increases on programming expenses. We also expect continued declines in other revenue related to declines in wireline voice revenue. We are also focused on growing our Business Services Connectivity segment revenue by offering competitive services, including enterprise solutions.

Average monthly total revenue per customer relationship is impacted by rate adjustments and changes in the types and levels of services received by our residential and business customers, as well as changes in advertising and other revenue and in foreign currency exchange rates. While revenue from our individual service offerings is also impacted by changes in the allocation of revenue among services sold in a bundle, the allocation does not impact average monthly total revenue per customer relationship. Each of our services has a different contribution to Adjusted EBITDA margin. We use average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customer relationship to evaluate the profitability of our customer base across our service offerings. We believe both metrics are useful to understand the trends in our business, and average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customer relationship is useful particularly as we continue to focus on growing our higher-margin businesses.

We operate our Media segment as a combined television and streaming business. We expect that the number of subscribers and audience ratings at our linear television networks will continue to decline as a result of the competitive environment and shifting video consumption patterns, which we aim to mitigate over time by growth in paid subscribers and advertising revenue at Peacock. We expect to continue to incur significant costs related to content and marketing at Peacock. Revenue and programming expenses are also impacted by the timing of certain sporting events, including our acquisition of NBA rights, which begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Our Studios segment generates revenue primarily from third parties and from licensing content to our Media segment. While results of operations for our Studios segment are not impacted, results for our total Content & Experiences business may be impacted as the Studios segment licenses content to the Media segment, including for Peacock, rather than licensing the content to third parties.
We continue to invest significantly in existing and new theme park attractions, hotels and infrastructure, including Epic Universe in Orlando, which opened in May 2025, as well as in new destinations and experiences, which we believe will have a positive impact on attendance and guest spending at our theme parks.

Media Segment – Revenue
Domestic advertising revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to decreases in revenue at our linear television networks.
Domestic distribution revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to increases in revenue at Peacock, partially offset by decreases in revenue at our linear television networks. The decreases at our networks were primarily due to declines in the number of subscribers, partially offset by contractual rate increases.
International networks revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to increases in revenue associated with the distribution of sports networks and the positive impact of foreign currency.
* * *
Media segment total revenue included $1.2 billion and $2.5 billion related to Peacock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Media segment total revenue included $1.0 billion and $2.1 billion related to Peacock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. We had 41 million and 33 million paid subscribers of Peacock as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Peacock paid subscribers represent customers from which we recognize distribution revenue, including both customers that pay us directly and customers receiving the service through arrangements with companies who sell Peacock on our behalf. In these arrangements, paid subscribers are counted based on the terms of the arrangement when the related revenue is recognized. As a result, certain customers are counted when they activate their account, while other customers are counted when the Peacock service is made available to them as part of their bundled service offering regardless of whether it is activated. The increase in paid subscribers in 2025 is mainly due to availability of Peacock through a third-party’s bundled service offering.
Media Segment – Costs and Expenses
Programming and production costs decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to lower sports programming costs at our domestic television networks, mainly reflecting lower sports volumes compared to the prior year periods, and lower programming costs at Peacock, partially offset by increases in entertainment content costs for our domestic television networks and increases in sports programming costs for our international television networks. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was also partially offset by the impact of foreign currency.
Marketing and promotion expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher costs related to marketing for Peacock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses as well as to assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our businesses. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of certain of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures, and by our investment activities, including the results of entities that we do not consolidate, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
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.
We reconcile consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Comcast Corporation. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Comcast Corporation, or net cash provided by operating activities that we have reported in accordance with GAAP.

For the periods presented, 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.

Constant Currency
Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures that present our results of operations excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Certain of our businesses, including Connectivity & Platforms, have operations outside the United States that are conducted in local currencies. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In our Connectivity & Platforms business, we use constant currency and constant currency growth rates to evaluate the underlying performance of the businesses, and we believe they are helpful for investors because such measures present operating results on a comparable basis year over year to allow the evaluation of their underlying performance.
Constant currency and 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.

Our businesses generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements, including fixed charges, through our cash flows from operating activities; existing cash, cash equivalents and investments; available borrowings under our existing credit facility; and our ability to obtain future external financing. We anticipate that we will continue to use a substantial portion of our cash flows from operating activities in repaying our debt obligations, funding our capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets, investing in business opportunities, and returning capital to shareholders.
We maintain significant availability under our revolving credit facility and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Our commercial paper program generally provides a lower-cost source of borrowing to fund our short-term working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2025, amounts available under our revolving credit facility, net of amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program and outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, totaled $11.8 billion.
Our revolving credit facility contains a financial covenant pertaining to leverage, which is the ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined in the agreement. Compliance with this financial covenant is tested on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2025, we met this financial covenant, and we expect to remain in compliance with this financial covenant.

The variance in changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily related to the timing of our accounts payables, decreases in receivables and the timing of amortization and related payments for our film and television costs, including the timing of sports, partially offset by increases in inventory.
Payments of income taxes decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher payments in the prior year period relating to the preceding tax year, primarily driven by the sale of our investment in Hulu, partially offset by the timing of transferable tax credit purchases.
We expect to receive a federal income tax refund in the current year as a result of carrying back a capital loss created primarily as part of a 2024 internal corporate reorganization to offset capital gains recognized in our federal income tax returns for 2021 through 2023.
Additionally, on July 4, 2025, legislation was signed into law in the United States, which is expected to significantly reduce our payments of income taxes beginning in the second half of 2025. Among other things, this legislation provides for immediate deduction of 100% of the costs of qualified property, including significant portions of our capital expenditures and film and television production costs, acquired and placed into service after January 19, 2025, compared to the 40% and 20% deductions that would have applied in 2025 and 2026, respectively, under prior law. The legislation also reinstates the immediate deduction of domestic research and development expenses, retroactive to 2022, repealing the prior requirement to capitalize and amortize such costs over five years. We are continuing to determine the impact the legislation will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to the acquisition of Nitel in 2025, the purchase of an equity method investment in the current year period and proceeds from the maturity of short-term investments in the prior year period, partially offset by $439 million of additional proceeds received in the current year period for the sale of our interest in Hulu (see Note 7), decreased capital expenditures, purchases of short-term investments in the prior year period and proceeds from the sale of a nonmarketable security in the current year period. Capital expenditures decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily reflecting decreased spending on Epic Universe driven by the opening in 2025 and decreased spending by the Connectivity & Platforms businesses on scalable infrastructure and customer premise equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to lower proceeds from borrowings in the current year period, partially offset by lower repurchases of common stock in the current year period.
In May 2025, we issued $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate senior notes, which have maturities ranging between 2032 and 2055 and a weighted-average interest rate of 5.51%. The net proceeds from this issuance were intended for the early redemption of all outstanding amounts of our $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.375% Notes due August 2025, which was completed in June 2025, and for general corporate purposes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we made debt repayments of $1.9 billion, including $1.2 billion of 3.375% Notes due August 2025 and $129 million of 3.950% Notes due October 2025, as well as $419 million principal amount of notes due at maturity.

Table of Contents
We have made, and may from time to time in the future make, optional repayments on our debt obligations, which may include repurchases or exchanges of our outstanding public notes and debentures, depending on various factors, such as market conditions. Any such repurchases may be effected through privately negotiated transactions, market transactions, tender offers, redemptions or otherwise. In particular, we may repurchase varying amounts of our outstanding public notes and debentures with short to medium term maturities through privately negotiated or market transactions. See Notes 5 and 7 for additional information on our financing activities.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 106 million shares of our Class A common stock for $3.7 billion. In January 2025, our Board of Directors terminated the existing share repurchase program authorization and approved a new share repurchase program authorization of $15.0 billion, which has no expiration date. As of June 30, 2025, we had $12.0 billion remaining under the authorization. We did not purchase any shares outside of this program. We expect to repurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock under this new authorization in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market and other conditions.
In addition, we paid $345 million and $307 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to employee taxes associated with the administration of our share-based compensation plans and excise taxes related to share repurchases.
In January 2025, our Board of Directors approved a 6.5% increase in our dividend to $1.32 per share on an annualized basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we paid dividends of $2.5 billion. In May 2025, our Board of Directors approved our second quarter dividend of $0.33 per share, which was paid in July 2025. We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors.
Guarantee Structure
Our debt is primarily issued at Comcast, although we also have debt at certain of our subsidiaries as a result of acquisitions and other issuances. A substantial amount of this debt is subject to guarantees by Comcast and by certain subsidiaries that we have put in place to simplify our capital structure. We believe this guarantee structure provides liquidity benefits to debt investors and helps to simplify credit analysis with respect to relative value considerations of guaranteed subsidiary debt.

Cross-Guarantees
Comcast, NBCUniversal and Comcast Cable (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee each other’s debt securities. NBCUniversal and Comcast Cable also guarantee other borrowings of Comcast, including its revolving credit facility. These guarantees rank equally with all other general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the respective Guarantors. However, the obligations of the Guarantors under the guarantees are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of their respective non-guarantor subsidiaries. The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of U.S. and non-U.S. law. Each Guarantor’s obligations will remain in effect until all amounts payable with respect to the guaranteed securities have been paid in full. However, a guarantee by NBCUniversal or Comcast Cable of Comcast’s debt securities, or by NBCUniversal of Comcast Cable’s debt securities, will terminate upon a disposition of such Guarantor entity or all or substantially all of its assets.
The Guarantors are each holding companies that principally hold investments in, borrow from and lend to non-guarantor subsidiary operating companies; issue and service third-party debt obligations; repurchase shares and pay dividends; and engage in certain corporate and headquarters activities. The Guarantors are generally dependent on non-guarantor subsidiary operating companies to fund these activities.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the combined Guarantors have noncurrent notes payable to non-guarantor subsidiaries of $98 billion and $88 billion, respectively, and noncurrent notes receivable from non-guarantor subsidiaries of $14 billion for both periods. This financial information is that of the Guarantors presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances between the Guarantors eliminated. The combined financial information excludes financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries. The underlying net assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries are significantly in excess of the Guarantor obligations. Excluding investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries, external debt and the noncurrent notes payable and receivable with non-guarantor subsidiaries, the Guarantors do not have material assets, liabilities or results of operations.
One-Way Guarantees
Comcast provides full and unconditional guarantees of certain debt issued by Sky Limited (“Sky”), including all of its senior notes, and other consolidated subsidiaries not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the SEC.
Comcast also provides a full and unconditional guarantee of $138 million principal amount of subordinated debt issued by Comcast Holdings. Comcast’s obligations under this guarantee are subordinated and subject, in right of payment, to the prior payment in full of all of Comcast’s senior indebtedness, including debt guaranteed by Comcast on a senior basis, and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of its non-guarantor subsidiaries (for purposes of this Comcast Holdings discussion, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal are included within the non-guarantor subsidiary group). Comcast’s obligations as guarantor will remain in effect until all amounts payable with respect to the guaranteed debt have been paid in full. However, the guarantee will terminate upon a disposition of Comcast Holdings or all or substantially all of its assets. Comcast Holdings is a consolidated subsidiary holding company that directly or indirectly holds 100% and approximately 37% of our equity interests in Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Comcast and Comcast Holdings, the combined issuer and guarantor of the guaranteed subordinated debt, have noncurrent senior notes payable to non-guarantor subsidiaries of $63 billion and $53 billion, respectively, and noncurrent notes receivable from non-guarantor subsidiaries of $10 billion for both periods. This financial information is that of Comcast and Comcast Holdings presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances between Comcast and Comcast Holdings eliminated. The combined financial information excludes financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries of Comcast and Comcast Holdings. The underlying net assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of Comcast and Comcast Holdings are significantly in excess of the obligations of Comcast and Comcast Holdings. Excluding investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries, external debt, and the noncurrent notes payable and receivable with non-guarantor subsidiaries, Comcast and Comcast Holdings do not have material assets, liabilities or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
