“We’re making steady progress as we reposition the company for long-term, sustained growth,” said Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation. “In Connectivity, we’re taking deliberate steps to strengthen our broadband foundation and accelerate wireless as a meaningful growth engine, adding a record 414,000 wireless lines this quarter – clear evidence of the value of our converged offerings. In addition, Business Services delivered another solid performance, with mid-single digit revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. In Content & Experiences, we’re building momentum across NBC and Peacock as we head into one of the most exciting stretches of live sports in our history, including robust NBA coverage which just began last week. The early success of Epic Universe contributed to 19% revenue growth at our Theme Parks, reflecting the strength of our newest attractions and the enduring appeal of the Universal brand. We generated $4.9 billion of free cash flow this quarter and $14.9 billion year-to-date despite significant investment we’re making in repositioning our company, a testament to both the durability and resilience of our underlying business.”

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 decreased compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting decreases in video, advertising and other revenue, partially offset by increases in domestic wireless and international connectivity revenue. Domestic broadband revenue was consistent due to higher average rates, offset by a decline in the number of domestic broadband customers. Domestic wireless revenue increased 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 primarily due to lower domestic political and nonpolitical advertising. 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 decreased due to lower revenue and consistent operating expenses. 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, the impact of foreign currency and higher marketing and promotion costs driven by our new broadband and mobile offers introduced in April 2025, partially offset by lower fees paid to third-party channels relating to advertising sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 37.2%.

Excluding $1.9 billion of incremental revenue from this event, Media revenue increased 4.2%. Domestic advertising revenue decreased primarily reflecting the Paris Olympics in the prior year period. Excluding the incremental revenue from this event, domestic advertising revenue increased 2.6%, primarily due to an increase in revenue at Peacock. Domestic distribution revenue decreased primarily reflecting the Paris Olympics in the prior year period. Excluding the incremental revenue from this event, domestic distribution revenue increased 1.5%, primarily due to higher revenue at Peacock, partially offset by lower revenue at our linear television 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 lower operating expenses, which more than offset lower revenue. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower sports programming costs associated with the Paris Olympics in the prior year period and a decrease in other sports programming costs for our domestic television networks, mainly reflecting lower sports volumes compared to the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in sports costs for our international networks. Media results include $1.4 billion of revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA⁶ loss of $217 million related to Peacock, compared to $1.5 billion of revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA⁶ loss of $436 million in the prior year period, which included amounts attributable to the Paris Olympics.

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	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.
6	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.
7	From time to time, we may present adjusted information (e.g., Adjusted Revenues) to exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges affecting period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. See Table 7 for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.
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 separation 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 separation 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 separation-related employee compensation, severance and retention bonuses; IT separation and implementation costs; and other one-time costs.
