"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this quarterly report. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations as reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations.

• our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to raise prices to offset, in whole or in part, the effects of higher programming costs (including retransmission consents and distribution requirements);

• the ability to hire and retain key personnel;

• the availability and access, in general, of funds to meet our debt obligations prior to or when they become due and to fund our operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through (i) cash on hand, (ii) free cash flow, or (iii) access to the capital or credit markets;

• our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities, any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default provisions;

• our ability to satisfy the conditions to consummate the Liberty Broadband Combination and/or the Cox Transactions and/or to consummate the Liberty Broadband Combination and/or the Cox Transactions in a timely manner or at all;

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Organization and Basis of Presentation** 

**Organization** 

Charter Communications, Inc. (together with its controlled subsidiaries, "Charter," or the "Company") is a leading broadband connectivity company with services available to homes and small to large businesses through its Spectrum<sup>®</sup> brand. Founded in 1993, the Company has evolved from providing cable TV to streaming, and from high-speed Internet to a converged broadband, WiFi and mobile experience. Over the Spectrum Fiber Broadband Network and supported by our 100% U.S.-based employees, the Company offers Seamless Connectivity and Entertainment with Spectrum Internet<sup>®</sup>, Mobile, TV and Voice products.

Charter is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling equity interest in Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter Holdings"), an indirect owner of Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating") under which substantially all of the operations reside. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.

**Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are subject to review by regulatory authorities. However, in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas involving significant judgments and estimates include capitalization of labor and overhead costs, pension benefits and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2025 presentation.

Comprehensive income equaled net income attributable to Charter shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mergers and Acquisitions**

On May 16, 2025, Charter, Charter Holdings, and Cox Enterprises, Inc. ("Cox Enterprises") entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") pursuant to which (i) Cox Enterprises will sell and transfer to Charter 100% of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Cox Communications, Inc. ("Cox Communications") that conduct Cox Communications' commercial fiber and managed IT and cloud services businesses (the "Equity Sale"), (ii) Cox Enterprises will contribute the equity interests of Cox Communications and certain other assets (other than certain excluded assets) primarily related to Cox Communications' residential cable business to Charter Holdings (the "Contribution"), and (iii) Cox Enterprises will pay $1.00 to Charter (collectively, the "Cox Transactions"). Under the Transaction Agreement, Charter and Cox Enterprises may designate one or more wholly owned subsidiaries to take actions with respect to Charter and Cox Enterprises, respectively.

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the closing of the Cox Transactions:

• in consideration of the Equity Sale, Charter will pay $3.5 billion in cash to Cox Enterprises;

• in consideration of the Contribution, Charter Holdings will (i) pay to Cox Enterprises $500 million in cash and (ii) issue to Cox Enterprises convertible preferred units of Charter Holdings with an aggregate liquidation preference of $6.0 billion, which will pay a 6.875% dividend per annum, and approximately 33.6 million Charter Holdings common units.

Charter Holdings convertible preferred units will be convertible into Charter Holdings common units, with an initial conversion price of $477.41, subject to certain adjustments.

• in consideration of the $1.00 payment from Cox Enterprises to Charter, Charter will issue to Cox Enterprises one share of the newly created Charter Class C common stock. The Charter Class C common stock will be equivalent, economically, to the outstanding Charter Class A common stock and the Charter Class B common stock but will have a number of votes per share that reflect the voting power of the Charter Holdings common units and the Charter Holdings convertible preferred units held by Cox Enterprises on an as-converted, as-exchanged basis.

The combined entity will assume Cox Communications' approximately $12.4 billion in outstanding net debt and finance leases.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equipment Installment Plan Financing Facility**

The EIP Financing Facility has a final maturity date of December 20, 2028, comprised of a six-month revolving loan period subject to renewal, and if not renewed, cash flows on EIP Receivables are applied to amortize the loan which may occur over a period of up to three years.

**10. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Reporting**

The Company's operations are managed and reported to its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), on a consolidated basis. The Company provides broadband connectivity services with all of its services delivered to customers over an advanced communications network. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, as the converged network requires the CODM to manage and evaluate the results of the business in a consolidated manner to drive efficiencies and develop uniform strategies. Accordingly, key components and processes of the Company's operations are managed centrally, including contracting for programming, capital and new technology development and deployment, plant engineering, customer service, marketing, legal and government affairs. Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to allocate resources. Under this organizational and reporting structure, the Company has one reportable segment.

Stock options and restricted stock units generally cliff vest three years from the date of grant. Certain stock options and restricted stock units vest based on achievement of stock price hurdles. Stock options generally expire ten years from the grant date and restricted stock units have no voting rights. Restricted stock generally vests one year from the date of grant.

As of September 30, 2025, total unrecognized compensation remaining to be recognized in future periods totaled $255 million for stock options, $452 million for restricted stock units and $2 million for restricted stock and the weighted average period over which they are expected to be recognized is two years for stock options and restricted stock units and seven months for restricted stock.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA contains numerous business tax provisions, including business extenders made permanent such as restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, IRC Section 174 expensing for US-based research, and the EBITDA-based business interest expense limitation under IRC Section 163(j). As a result of this legislation, we reflected a discrete tax event in the three months ended September 30, 2025 to adjust our current year estimated tax deductions and remeasure our deferred taxes resulting in a current tax benefit offset by a deferred tax expense with no net impact to the effective tax rate. The impact to the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 is a $547 million decrease to current income taxes payable and corresponding increase to deferred income tax liabilities.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earnings Per Share**

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Charter shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock and if-converted methods and is based on the weighted average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, equity awards with market conditions and Charter Holdings common units. Charter Holdings common units of 16 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 17 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following is the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software ("Subtopic 350-40"): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under Subtopic 350-40. The amendments improve the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (year ending December 31, 2028 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

**General**

Charter Communications, Inc. (together with its controlled subsidiaries, "Charter") is a leading broadband connectivity company with services available to 58 million homes and small to large businesses across 41 states through our Spectrum brand. Founded in 1993, we have evolved from providing cable TV to streaming, and from high-speed Internet to a converged broadband, WiFi and mobile experience. Over the Spectrum Fiber Broadband Network and supported by our 100% U.S.-based employees, we offer Seamless Connectivity and Entertainment with Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice products.

Charter is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling equity interest in Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter Holdings"), an indirect owner of Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating") under which substantially all of the operations reside. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.

**The Cox Transactions**

On May 16, 2025, Charter, Charter Holdings, and Cox Enterprises, Inc. ("Cox Enterprises") entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") pursuant to which (i) Cox Enterprises will sell and transfer to Charter 100% of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Cox Communications, Inc. ("Cox Communications") that conduct Cox Communications' commercial fiber and managed IT and cloud services businesses (the "Equity Sale"), (ii) Cox Enterprises will contribute the equity interests of Cox Communications and certain other assets (other than certain excluded assets) primarily related to Cox Communications' residential cable business to Charter Holdings (the "Contribution"), and (iii) Cox Enterprises will pay $1.00 to Charter (collectively, the "Cox Transactions"). Under the Transaction Agreement, Charter and Cox Enterprises may designate one or more wholly owned subsidiaries to take actions with respect to Charter and Cox Enterprises, respectively.

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the closing of the Cox Transactions (the "Closing"):

• in consideration of the Equity Sale, Charter will pay $3.5 billion in cash to Cox Enterprises;

• in consideration of the Contribution, Charter Holdings will (i) pay to Cox Enterprises $500 million in cash and (ii) issue to Cox Enterprises convertible preferred units of Charter Holdings with an aggregate liquidation preference of $6.0 billion, which will pay a 6.875% dividend per annum, and approximately 33.6 million Charter Holdings common units. The Charter Holdings convertible preferred units will be convertible into Charter Holdings common units, with an initial conversion price of $477.41, subject to certain adjustments. The Charter Holdings common units will be exchangeable by the holder, in certain circumstances, for cash or, at the election of Charter, Charter Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments; and

• in consideration of the $1.00 payment from Cox Enterprises to Charter, Charter will issue to Cox Enterprises one share of the newly created Charter Class C common stock. The Charter Class C common stock will be equivalent, economically, to the outstanding Charter Class A common stock and the Charter Class B common stock but will have a number of votes per share that reflect the voting power of the Charter Holdings common units and the Charter Holdings convertible preferred units held by Cox Enterprises on an as-converted, as-exchanged basis.

The combined entity will assume Cox Communications' approximately $12.4 billion in outstanding net debt and finance leases.

**Overview**

During the third quarter of 2025, we added 493,000 mobile lines and video losses improved as compared to the prior year period. Internet losses remained relatively flat as compared to the prior year period. Sales were challenged by the competitive environment offset by lower customer churn. However, we remain focused on improving customer results through our pricing and packaging strategy launched in September 2024 and our brand platform, Life Unlimited. Life Unlimited emphasizes the power of our advanced network and cutting-edge connectivity products and services, and our simplified pricing and packaging strategy better utilizes our seamless connectivity and entertainment products to offer lower promotional and persistent bundled pricing to drive growth. Our Internet and mobile product bundles provide a differentiated connectivity experience by bringing together Spectrum Internet, Advanced WiFi and Unlimited Spectrum Mobile to offer consumers fast, reliable and secure online connections on their favorite devices at home and on the go in high-value packages. We have completed deals with every

major programmer to deliver better flexibility and greater value to our customers by including seamless entertainment applications with our Spectrum TV services at no additional cost. In July 2025, we began launching the sale of these seamless entertainment applications to customers à la carte and just recently launched the Spectrum App Store, a digital storefront that helps customers activate, upgrade, buy and manage their streaming applications in one place. We also continue to evolve other elements of our video product and are deploying Xumo stream boxes to new video customers.

Our new customer commitments focus on reliable connectivity, transparency, exceptional service and always improving. By continually improving our product set and offering consumers the opportunity to save money by switching to our services, we believe we can continue to penetrate our expanding footprint and sell additional products to our existing customers. We see operational benefits from the targeted investments we made in employee wages and benefits to build employee skill sets and tenure, as well as the continued investments in digitization of our customer service platforms, all with the goal of improving the customer experience, reducing transactions and driving customer growth and retention.

We spent $582 million and $1.6 billion on our subsidized rural construction initiative during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and activated approximately 124,000 and 336,000 subsidized rural passings, respectively. And we are upgrading our network to deliver symmetrical and multi-gigabit speeds across our footprint as part of our network evolution initiative.

We realized revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and income from operations during the periods presented as follows (in millions; all percentages are calculated using whole numbers; minor differences may exist due to rounding):

| Income from operations | $3131 | $3335 | (6.1)% | $9647 | $9729 | (0.8)% |

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income (expenses), net and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as special charges, merger and acquisition costs and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. See "Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow" for further information on Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow.

Total revenues decreased slightly during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and remained relatively constant during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to lower customers and lower advertising sales offset by mobile line growth and higher average revenue per customer. Adjusted EBITDA and income from operations were also impacted by an increase in marketing and residential sales expense.

***Revenues.*** Total revenues decreased $123 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and remained relatively constant during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. The decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to lower customers and lower advertising sales, partly offset by growth in mobile lines and average revenue per customer.

The increase in Internet revenues from our residential customers is attributable to the following (dollars in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three months ended <br>September 30, 2025<br>compared to <br>three months ended <br>September 30, 2024** | **Nine months ended <br>September 30, 2025<br>compared to <br>nine months ended <br>September 30, 2024** |
| Increase related to rate and product mix changes | $193 | $663 |
| Decrease in average residential Internet customers | (94) | (297) |
|  | $99 | $366 |

---

The increase related to rate and product mix was primarily due to promotional rate step-ups, rate adjustments, and a favorable change in bundled revenue allocation. Residential Internet customers decreased by 445,000 customers from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025.

The increase in mobile service revenues from our residential customers is attributable to the following (dollars in millions):

---

|  | $(347) | $(1058) |

---

Residential video customers decreased by 414,000 from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The decrease related to rate and product mix was primarily due to a higher mix of lower priced video packages within our video customer base and more unfavorable bundled revenue allocation, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups and video rate adjustments that pass-through programming rate increases. Seamless entertainment allocation represents programming costs netted within video revenue. The growth is due to more seamless entertainment applications and higher activations.

The decrease in voice revenues from our residential customers is attributable to the following (dollars in millions):

|  | $(10) | $(19) |

---

Small business customers decreased by 25,000 from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025.

Mid-market & large business revenues increased $26 million and $75 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to an increase in Internet PSUs. Mid-market & large business PSUs increased 21,000 from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025.

Advertising sales revenues consist primarily of revenues from commercial advertising customers, programmers and other vendors, as well as local cable and advertising on regional sports and news channels. Advertising sales revenues decreased $96 million and $173 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to a decrease in political, national and local ad revenue partly offset by higher enterprise advanced advertising.

------

Other revenues consist of revenue from mobile and video device sales, processing fees, regional sports and news channels (excluding intercompany charges or advertising sales on those channels), Rural Development Opportunity Fund ("RDOF") subsidy revenue, home shopping, wire maintenance fees and other miscellaneous revenues. Other revenues increased $80 million and $307 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to higher mobile device sales.

***Operating costs and expenses*.** The change in our operating costs and expenses, exclusive of items shown separately in the consolidated statements of operations, are attributable to the following (dollars in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three months ended <br>September 30, 2025<br>compared to <br>three months ended <br>September 30, 2024** | **Nine months ended <br>September 30, 2025<br>compared to <br>nine months ended <br>September 30, 2024** |

| Marketing and residential sales | 50 | 194 |
| Other | 13 | (59) |
|  | $(32) | $(177) |

---

Programming costs were approximately $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, representing 26% and 28% of total operating costs and expenses, respectively, and $6.7 billion and $7.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, representing 27% and 30% of total operating costs and expenses, respectively. Programming costs consist primarily of costs paid to programmers for basic, premium, video on demand, and pay-per-view programming. Programming costs decreased as a result of fewer video customers and a higher mix of lower cost video packages within our video customer base as well as costs allocated to seamless entertainment applications and netted within video revenue, partly offset by contractual rate adjustments, including renewals and increases in amounts paid for retransmission consent.

Other costs of revenue increased $73 million and $312 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to higher mobile service direct costs and mobile device sales due to an increase in mobile lines.

Field and technology operations increased $3 million and $48 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to higher network utilities and pole rent expense.

Customer operations decreased $19 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024 primarily due to lower bad debt expense. Customer operations decreased $33 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024 primarily due to lower labor costs, partly offset by higher bad debt expense.

Marketing and residential sales increased $50 million and $194 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to a change in sales mix to higher cost sales channels.

Other expense increased $13 million and decreased $59 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024 is primarily due to one-time favorable adjustments of $75 million.

***Depreciation and amortization.*** Depreciation and amortization expense increased $15 million and $12 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024.

***Interest expense, net.*** Net interest expense decreased by $43 million and $183 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily due to a decrease in weighted average interest rates and debt.

***Other expenses, net.*** The change in other expenses, net is attributable to the following (dollars in millions):

***Income tax expense.*** We recognized income tax expense of $418 million and $1.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $406 million and $1.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

***Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.*** Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for financial reporting purposes represents Advance/Newhouse Partnership's ("A/N") portion of Charter Holdings' net income based on its effective common unit ownership interest. For more information, see Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in "Item 1. Financial Statements."

***Net income attributable to Charter shareholders.*** Net income attributable to Charter shareholders decreased $143 million and increased $38 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 primarily as a result of the factors described above.

**Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow**

We use certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of our 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 us, 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, below.

Adjusted EBITDA 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. 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 our 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 our performance and our ability to service our debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under our 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, we use Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by our operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. Our debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were $350 million and $1.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $373 million and $1.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

***Overview***

We have significant amounts of debt and require significant cash to fund principal and interest payments on our debt. The principal amount of our debt as of September 30, 2025 was $95.0 billion, consisting of $12.4 billion of credit facility debt, $55.4 billion of investment grade senior secured notes and $27.3 billion of high-yield senior unsecured notes. Our split credit rating allows us to access both the investment grade debt and the high yield debt markets. Additionally, our bankruptcy remote special purpose vehicle is the borrower of a senior secured revolving credit facility to finance the purchase of equipment installment plan receivables with a number of financial institutions (the "EIP Financing Facility"). As of September 30, 2025,

------

the carrying value of the EIP Financing Facility was $1.4 billion. For more information on the EIP Financing Facility, see Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in "Item 1. Financial Statements."

Our projected cash needs and projected sources of liquidity depend upon, among other things, our actual results, and the timing and amount of our expenditures. Free cash flow was $1.6 billion and $4.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.6 billion and $3.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. See the table below for factors impacting free cash flow during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding prior periods. As of September 30, 2025, the amount available under our credit facilities was approximately $4.0 billion and cash on hand was approximately $464 million. We expect to utilize free cash flow, cash on hand and availability under our credit facilities as well as future refinancing transactions to further extend the maturities of our obligations. The timing and terms of any refinancing transactions will be subject to market conditions among other considerations. Additionally, we may, from time to time, and depending on market conditions and other factors, use cash on hand and the proceeds from securities offerings or other borrowings to retire our debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, tender offers or redemption provisions. We believe we have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, free cash flow and Charter Operating's revolving credit facility as well as access to the capital markets to fund our projected cash needs.

We continue to evaluate the deployment of our cash on hand and anticipated future free cash flow, including investing in our business growth and other strategic opportunities, including expanding the capacity of our network, the expansion of our network through our rural broadband construction initiative, the build-out and deployment of our CBRS spectrum, and mergers and acquisitions as well as stock repurchases and dividends. Charter's leverage ratio of net debt to the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 4.2 times as of September 30, 2025. Charter plans to maintain a leverage ratio, pro forma for the closing of the Liberty Broadband Corporation ("Liberty Broadband") Combination near the midpoint of its stated range of 4 to 4.5 times Adjusted EBITDA in the period leading up to the Closing, and up to 3.5 times Adjusted EBITDA at the Charter Operating first lien level. Charter plans to adjust its long-term target leverage range after the Closing to 3.5 to 4.0 times Adjusted EBITDA but will still have a significant amount of debt. As Adjusted EBITDA grows, we expect to increase the total amount of our indebtedness to maintain leverage within Charter's target leverage range.

Excluding purchases from Liberty Broadband discussed below, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Charter purchased in the public market approximately 6.4 million and 10.6 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for approximately $1.8 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Charter purchased in the public market approximately 0.3 million and 2.7 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for approximately $108 million and $822 million, respectively. Since the beginning of its buyback program in September 2016 through September 30, 2025, Charter has purchased approximately 176.8 million shares of Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units for approximately $78.0 billion, including purchases from Liberty Broadband and A/N discussed below.

On November 12, 2024, Charter, Liberty Broadband, Fusion Merger Sub 1, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter, and Fusion Merger Sub 2, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fusion Merger Sub 1, LLC, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Charter will acquire Liberty Broadband through the merger of Fusion Merger Sub 2, Inc. with and into Liberty Broadband (the "Merger"), with Liberty Broadband surviving the Merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Charter. Immediately following the Merger, Liberty Broadband, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, will merge with and into Fusion Merger Sub 1, LLC (the "Upstream Merger" and together with the Merger, the "Liberty Broadband Combination"), with Fusion Merger Sub 1, LLC surviving the Upstream Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter.

On November 12, 2024, Charter and Liberty Broadband also entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement and the Letter Agreement (the "Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment"). The Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment sets forth, among other things, the terms of Liberty Broadband's participation in Charter's share repurchases during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the Merger. Pursuant to the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment, each month during the pendency of the proposed transaction, Charter will repurchase shares of Charter Class A common stock from Liberty Broadband in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $100 million and (ii) the Liberty Broadband minimum liquidity threshold as set forth in the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment, provided that if any repurchase would reduce Liberty Broadband's equity interest in Charter below 25.25% after giving effect to such repurchase or if all or a portion of such repurchase is not permitted under applicable law, then Charter shall instead loan to Liberty Broadband an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the repurchase amount that cannot be repurchased and (y) the Liberty Broadband minimum liquidity threshold as set forth in the Stockholders and Letter

------

Agreement Amendment less the repurchase amount that is repurchased, with such loan on the terms set forth in the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment. From and after the date Liberty Broadband's exchangeable debentures are no longer outstanding, the amount of monthly repurchases will be the lesser of (i) $100 million and (ii) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount needed, in the reasonable judgment of Charter, to maintain an unrestricted cash balance of Liberty Broadband and its subsidiaries (other than GCI Holdings, LLC, GCI Spinco (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and their respective subsidiaries) of $50 million plus (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Liberty Broadband margin loan. The purchase price payable by Charter to Liberty Broadband in connection with such monthly repurchases will equal (i) the average price paid by Charter for shares of Charter Class A common stock repurchased during the immediately preceding calendar month (excluding shares repurchased from A/N and certain other excluded repurchases) or (ii) if Charter has not engaged in any repurchases of shares of Charter Class A common stock during the immediately preceding calendar month (other than any repurchases from A/N and certain other excluded repurchases), a purchase price based on a Bloomberg volume-weighted average price methodology proposed by Charter and reasonably acceptable to Liberty Broadband. Liberty Broadband will apply the proceeds from any such repurchases or borrowings from Charter to repay certain of its outstanding indebtedness in accordance with the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment. The Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment provides that Liberty Broadband will be exempt from the standstill restrictions and the ownership cap under the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement among Charter, Liberty Broadband and A/N, dated as of May 23, 2015 to the extent its ownership in Charter exceeds such ownership cap solely as a result of the repurchase provisions in the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Charter purchased from Liberty Broadband 0.9 million and 2.5 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for approximately $300 million and $900 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Charter purchased from Liberty Broadband 0.4 million and 0.7 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for approximately $110 million and $226 million, respectively.

In December 2016, Charter and A/N entered into a letter agreement, as amended in December 2017 (the "Existing A/N Letter Agreement"), that requires A/N to sell to Charter or to Charter Holdings, on a monthly basis, a number of shares of Charter Class A common stock or Charter Holdings common units that represents a pro rata participation by A/N and its affiliates in any repurchases of shares of Charter Class A common stock from persons other than A/N effected by Charter during the immediately preceding calendar month, at a purchase price equal to the average price paid by Charter for the shares repurchased from persons other than A/N during such immediately preceding calendar month. In connection with the Cox Transactions, Charter, Charter Holdings and A/N entered into an amendment to the Existing A/N Repurchase Letter, dated as of May 16, 2025 (the "A/N Repurchase Letter Amendment") which sets forth, among other things, the updated terms of A/N's participation in Charter's share repurchases going forward. The right to participate pro rata in repurchases on the terms and conditions set forth in the A/N Repurchase Letter Amendment is effective only from the earlier of the Closing and, in the event the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the date of such termination (such earlier date, the "Trigger Date"). Prior to the Trigger Date, the Existing A/N Letter Agreement will remain in full force and continue to govern A/N's participation in Charter's share repurchases, except for certain specific amendments set forth in the A/N Repurchase Letter Amendment which became effective upon execution of the A/N Repurchase Letter Amendment, including, in certain circumstances, where A/N elects not to participate in redemptions by Charter Holdings because such participation would cause A/N's equity interest in Charter to be less than 11% prior to the Trigger Date, A/N may, subject to certain conditions, elect to receive a tax loan from Charter Holdings on the terms set forth in the A/N Repurchase Letter Amendment and in definitive documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Charter and A/N. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Charter Holdings purchased from A/N 0.3 million and 1.0 million Charter Holdings common units for approximately $121 million and $373 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Charter Holdings purchased from A/N 0.1 million and 0.6 million Charter Holdings common units for approximately $44 million and $185 million, respectively.

On August 4, 2025, Charter received a notice from A/N pursuant to the Existing Letter Agreement, whereby A/N notified Charter that A/N was suspending the standing share repurchase agreement between A/N and Charter (the "Suspension"). The Suspension took effect immediately after the first repurchase closing date under the Existing Letter Agreement to occur following the date of the notice. In the notice, A/N informed Charter that it intends for the Suspension to continue through the consummation of the closing of the Cox Transactions or the termination thereof, but reserved the right to end such Suspension before or after such time.

As of September 30, 2025, Charter had remaining board authority to purchase an additional $252 million of Charter's Class A common stock and/or Charter Holdings common units, excluding purchases from Liberty Broadband. Although Charter expects to continue to buy back its common stock consistent with its leverage target range, Charter is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the timing of any purchases that may occur cannot be predicted and will largely

------

depend on market conditions and other potential uses of capital. Purchases may include open market purchases, tender offers or negotiated transactions.

As possible acquisitions, swaps or dispositions arise, we actively review them against our objectives including, among other considerations, improving the operational efficiency, geographic clustering of assets, product development or technology capabilities of our business and achieving appropriate return targets, and we may participate to the extent we believe these possibilities present attractive opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that we will actually complete any acquisitions, including the Cox Transactions, dispositions or system swaps, or that any such transactions will be material to our operations or results.

***New Tax Legislation***

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA contains numerous business tax provisions, including business extenders made permanent such as restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, IRC Section 174 expensing for US-based research, and the EBITDA-based business interest expense limitation under IRC Section 163(j). The OBBBA reduced cash paid for taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

***Recent Events***

In July 2025, Charter Operating and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. paid in full all of their outstanding 4.908% senior secured notes due 2025 at maturity.

In September 2025, Charter Operating and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.25 billion of 5.850% senior secured notes due December 2035 at a price of 99.932% of the aggregate principal amount and $750 million of 6.700% senior secured notes due December 2055 at a price of 99.832% of the aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including to repay certain indebtedness, including Charter Operating's 6.150% senior secured notes due 2026, to fund potential buybacks of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units, and to pay related fees and expenses.

***Free Cash Flow***

Free cash flow increased $2 million and $958 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior periods in 2024 due to the following (dollars in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three months ended <br>September 30, 2025<br>compared to <br>three months ended <br>September 30, 2024** | **Nine months ended <br>September 30, 2025<br>compared to <br>nine months ended <br>September 30, 2024** |
| Decrease in cash paid for taxes, net | $402 | $347 |
| Changes in working capital, mobile devices | 154 | 287 |
| Increase (decrease) in Adjusted EBITDA | (86) | 208 |
| Decrease in cash paid for interest, net | 46 | 204 |
| Increase in capital expenditures | (488) | (117) |
| Changes in working capital, excluding mobile devices | 68 | (48) |
| Other, net | (94) | 77 |
|  | $2 | $958 |

---

Other, net primarily included the payment of a litigation settlement during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2025.

***Limitations on Distributions***

Distributions by our subsidiaries to a parent company for payment of principal on parent company notes are restricted under CCO Holdings indentures governing CCO Holdings' indebtedness, unless there is no default under the applicable indenture, and unless CCO Holdings' leverage ratio test is met at the time of such distribution. As of September 30, 2025, there was no default

------

under any of these indentures, and CCO Holdings met its leverage ratio test based on September 30, 2025 financial results. There can be no assurance that CCO Holdings will satisfy its leverage ratio test at the time of the contemplated distribution.

In addition to the limitation on distributions under the various indentures, distributions by our subsidiaries may be limited by applicable law, including the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, under which our subsidiaries may only make distributions if they have "surplus" as defined in the act.

***Historical Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities*** 

***Cash and Cash Equivalents.*** We held $464 million and $459 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, we held $57 million and $47 million in restricted cash included in prepaid and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

***Operating Activities.*** Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for taxes and interest, increase in Adjusted EBITDA and the payment of litigation settlements in 2024.

***Investing Activities.*** Net cash used in investing activities was $8.6 billion and $8.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.

***Financing Activities.*** Net cash used in financing activities increased $865 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in the purchase of treasury stock and decrease in borrowings under the EIP Financing Facility, partly offset by an increase in the amount by which borrowings of long-term debt exceeded repayments.

***Capital Expenditures*** 

We have significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements. Capital expenditures were $3.1 billion and $8.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $2.6 billion and $8.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The increase during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 was primarily driven by timing of customer premise equipment spend, higher spend on network evolution and an increase in scalable infrastructure spend, partly offset by a decrease in line extensions. See the table below for more details.

We currently expect full year 2025 capital expenditures to total approximately $11.5 billion. The actual amount of capital expenditures in 2025 will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of our network evolution and expansion initiatives, supply chain timing and residential and business customer growth rates.

Our capital expenditures are funded primarily from cash flows from operating activities and borrowings on our credit facility. In addition, our accrued expenses related to capital expenditures increased by $239 million and $510 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following tables present our major capital expenditures categories in accordance with National Cable and Telecommunications Association ("NCTA") disclosure guidelines for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. These disclosure guidelines are not required disclosures under GAAP, nor do they impact our accounting for capital expenditures under GAAP (dollars in millions):

**Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

See Note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in "Item 1. Financial Statements" and Note 21 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards. There have been no material changes from the recently issued accounting standards described in our Form 10-K.

**Item 3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.*** 

There have been no material changes to the interest rate risk as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Item 4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Controls and Procedures.***

As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this quarterly report. The evaluation was based upon reports and certifications provided by a number of executives. Based on, and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the

------

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, we believe that our controls provide such reasonable assurances.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Legal Proceedings.*** 

See Note 19 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of legal proceedings. Within this section, we use a threshold of $1 million in disclosing environmental proceedings involving a governmental authority, if any.

**Item 1A. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Risk Factors.***

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes "Risk Factors" under Item 1A of Part I. There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K except to add the risk factors set forth below.

**Risks Related to the Cox Transactions**

***The Cox Transactions are subject to conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied, or completed on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Cox Transactions could have a material adverse effect on us.***

The completion of the Cox Transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, (i) the approval of the certificate amendment proposal by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Charter Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a single class; (ii) the approval of the share issuance proposal by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Charter Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a single class; (iii) any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and any commitments by the parties not to close before a certain date under any timing agreement entered into with a government entity, in each case, with respect to the Cox Transactions shall have expired or been terminated (solely with respect to the obligations of the Charter parties to close, without the imposition of a burdensome condition); (iv) the receipt of certain other required regulatory approvals, including approval of the Federal Communications Commission and certain local franchise authority, state franchising and state public utility commission approvals (solely with respect to the obligations of the Charter parties to close, without the imposition of a burdensome condition); (v) the absence of any law, rule, executive order, decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which makes unlawful, prohibits, delays, enjoins or otherwise prevents or restrains the completion of the Cox Transactions; (vi) each party's representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality and material adverse effect qualifications); (vii) the absence of a material adverse effect on each party; and (viii) each party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Transaction Agreement.

While the parties have agreed in the Transaction Agreement to use reasonable best efforts to satisfy the closing conditions, the parties may not be successful in their efforts to do so. The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the Cox Transactions for a significant period of time or prevent completion from occurring at all. Any delay in completing the Cox Transactions could cause us not to realize some or all of the benefits of the Cox Transactions, or realize them on a different timeline than expected. There can be no assurance that the conditions in the Transaction Agreement will be satisfied or (to the extent permitted) waived or that the Cox Transactions will be completed. In addition, subject to limited exceptions, either Charter or Cox Enterprises may terminate the Transaction Agreement if the Cox Transactions have not been consummated by the end date, so long as the terminating party's failure to comply in all material respects with the Transaction Agreement has not been a primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the end date.

If the Cox Transactions are not completed, we may be materially adversely affected, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of having completed the Cox Transactions, and we will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

• the market price of Charter common stock could decline;

• we could owe a substantial termination fee to Cox Enterprises under certain circumstances;

• if the Transaction Agreement is terminated and we seek another transaction, we may not find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms comparable to or more attractive than the terms agreed to in the Transaction Agreement;

• time and resources, financial and other, committed by Charter's and its subsidiaries' management to matters relating to the Cox Transactions could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities;

• Charter and its subsidiaries may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or from our customers, suppliers, regulators or employees;

------

• we will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Cox Transactions, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, filing, printing and mailing fees, whether or not the Cox Transactions are completed;

• Charter and Cox Communications are subject to restrictions on the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the effective time, as set forth in the Transaction Agreement, which may prevent us or Cox Communications, as applicable, from making certain acquisitions or taking other actions during the pendency of the Cox Transactions; and

• we may experience reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the Cox Transactions.

In addition, if the Cox Transactions are not completed, we could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Cox Transactions or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations under the Transaction Agreement. Any of these risks could materially and adversely impact our financial condition, financial results and stock price.

***Our plans for funding the cash consideration and assuming indebtedness of Cox Communications may be adversely affected to the extent of any greater-than-expected increases in our indebtedness, lower-than-expected operating results, credit rating downgrades, or significant financial market disruptions.***

We are obligated to fund $4.0 billion of cash consideration under the Transaction Agreement which we expect to fund by incurring indebtedness, and expect to assume approximately $12.4 billion of Cox Communications' outstanding net debt and finance leases in connection with the Cox Transactions, including Cox Communications' outstanding unsecured notes as of Closing (the "Cox Notes"). The indentures and supplemental indentures governing the Cox Notes contain certain negative covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of secured indebtedness and indebtedness of restricted subsidiaries. If our indebtedness increases more than expected, our operating results are lower than expected, or significant financial markets disruptions occur, our cash on hand and available liquidity under our existing credit facilities may be insufficient to fund the cash portion of the consideration. Further, completion of the Cox Transactions may constitute a "change of control repurchase event" under the supplemental indentures governing certain of the Cox Notes if, in connection with the Cox Transactions, each of S&P Global Ratings, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc. downgrade the credit rating of certain series of Cox Notes to a rating below "investment grade" (regardless of whether the rating prior to such downgrade was "investment grade" or below "investment grade") prior to 60 days following consummation of a change of control (which period may be extended in certain circumstances). In such a circumstance, Charter (or one of its subsidiaries that, at the time, is the primary obligor of such series of notes) would be required to offer to repurchase each applicable holder's Cox Notes of such series at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of Cox Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of such ratings downgrades, we may require additional debt financing to fund such repurchases, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. A failure to make the applicable change of control offer or to pay the applicable change of control purchase price when due would result in a default in respect of the applicable series of Cox Notes and could result in a default under the terms of other indebtedness of Charter and its subsidiaries.

***Charter and Cox Communications are subject to contractual restrictions while the Cox Transactions are pending, which could adversely affect their respective businesses and operations.***

Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Charter and Cox Communications are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the Closing. Such limitations may affect Charter's or Cox Communications' ability to execute certain of their business strategies, including the ability in certain cases to amend their organizational documents, repurchase shares or declare dividends in certain circumstances, incur certain indebtedness or complete certain acquisitions and other transactions, which could adversely affect Charter or Cox Communications prior to the effective time.

The risks described above may be exacerbated by delays or other adverse developments with respect to the completion of the Cox Transactions.

***We will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the Cox Transactions.***

We will incur substantial expenses in connection with and as a result of completing the Cox Transactions, including advisory, legal and other transaction costs, and, following the completion of the Cox Transactions, we expect to incur additional expenses in connection with combining the companies. A portion of these costs have already been incurred or will be incurred regardless of whether the Cox Transactions are completed. Factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or timing of these expenses, many of which, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. Our management continues to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Cox Transactions.

------

Although we expect that the realization of benefits related to the Cox Transactions will offset such costs and expenses over time, no assurances can be made that this net benefit will be achieved in the near term, or at all.

***A/N and Liberty Broadband currently have governance rights that give them influence over corporate transactions and other matters. In connection with the Cox Transactions, Liberty Broadband will lose its governance rights (assuming the closing of the Liberty Broadband Combination), A/N's governance rights will be modified and Cox Enterprises will receive governance rights pursuant to the amended stockholders agreement and amendments to Charter's governing documents, and Cox Enterprises and A/N will have influence over corporate transactions and other matters.***

The Transaction Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, Charter, A/N and Cox Enterprises will enter into the amended stockholders agreement, which will amend and restate in its entirety the existing stockholders agreement. If the Liberty Broadband Combination is completed, the existing stockholders agreement, which sets forth, among other things, certain of Liberty Broadband's governance rights with respect to Charter, will terminate with respect to Liberty Broadband. The Liberty Broadband side letter further provides that Liberty Broadband will cause the three Liberty Broadband designees serving on Charter's board of directors (the "Charter Board") to resign effective immediately prior to the effective time of the closing of the Liberty Broadband Combination.

Based on Charter's share count as of September 30, 2025, Charter expects that Cox Enterprises will own approximately 24.8% of the combined entity's diluted shares outstanding, on an as-exchanged, as-converted basis and assuming the contemporaneous closing of the previously announced Liberty Broadband Combination. Pursuant to the amended stockholders agreement and the amended certificate of incorporation, the size of the Charter Board will continue to be fixed at 13 directors, and at the Closing, the directors then serving as A/N's designees will continue to serve on the Charter Board and three designees selected by Cox Enterprises (with the prior approval of Charter (not to be unreasonably withheld)) will become members of the Charter Board. Thereafter, each of Cox Enterprises and A/N will be entitled to designate up to three nominees to be elected to the Charter Board provided that each maintains certain specified voting or equity ownership thresholds. Cox Enterprises and A/N will be required to vote (subject to the applicable voting cap) their respective shares of Charter common stock for the director nominees nominated by the nominating committee of the Charter Board, including the respective designees of Cox Enterprises and A/N, and against any other nominees, except that, with respect to the directors that were not designated by either Cox Enterprises or A/N (the "Unaffiliated Directors"), Cox Enterprises and A/N must instead vote in the same proportion as the voting securities are voted by stockholders other than Cox Enterprises and A/N or any group (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which includes any of them are voted, if doing so would cause a different outcome with respect to the Unaffiliated Directors. Cox Enterprises and A/N also will have certain committee designation and other governance rights. Additionally, the amended stockholders agreement will provide that each of Cox Enterprises and A/N will be subject to certain limits on acquisitions of Charter shares (30% in the case of Cox Enterprises; 19% in the case of A/N). In addition, any shares owned by Cox Enterprises or A/N in excess of its applicable voting cap (30% in the case of Cox Enterprises; 15% in the case of A/N) must be voted in proportion to the public stockholders of Charter, other than with respect to certain excluded matters.

The amended stockholders agreement will also provide that at the Closing, Alexander C. Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cox Enterprises, will serve as the Chairman of the Charter Board for an initial three-year term (unless Mr. Taylor ceases to serve as a member of the Charter Board prior thereto). The lead independent director of the Charter Board at the Closing will be Eric L. Zinterhofer, current Non-executive Chairman of the Charter Board. Following Mr. Taylor's term as Chairman, the Charter Board will return to its normal annual process. Additionally, following Mr. Taylor's term as Chairman, Christopher L. Winfrey, the Chief Executive Officer of Charter, will serve as Chairman of the Charter Board; provided that if Mr. Winfrey is no longer a member of the Charter Board or is unwilling to serve as Chairman, then Mr. Zinterhofer instead will serve as Chairman (subject to his continued membership on the Charter Board and willingness to serve).

At the Closing, Charter will amend its certificate of incorporation and bylaws in order to, among other things, reflect the agreed-upon governance terms to be included in the amended stockholders agreement.

As a result of their rights under the amended stockholders agreement and their significant equity and voting stakes in Charter, Cox Enterprises and/or A/N, who may have interests different from those of other stockholders, will be able to exercise substantial influence over certain matters relating to the governance of Charter, including the approval of significant corporate actions, such as mergers and other business combination transactions.

------

***The amended stockholders agreement will provide A/N and Cox Enterprises with preemptive rights with respect to issuances of Charter equity in connection with certain transactions, and in the event that A/N or Cox Enterprises exercises these rights, holders of Charter Class A common stock may experience further dilution.***

The amended stockholders agreement will provide that after the Closing, if Charter proposes to issue any equity securities of Charter in a capital raising transaction, each of Cox Enterprises and A/N (for so long as each party's equity interest in Charter is equal to or greater than 10%), will have the right to purchase, in whole or in part, for cash a number of such securities that will be determined based on such investor's pro rata equity interest in Charter. The amended stockholders agreement will define a capital raising transaction as any offering of shares of Charter Class A common stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Charter Class A common stock) for cash, whether registered under the Securities Act or otherwise (other than pursuant to a stockholders rights plan).

As a result, if Cox Enterprises and/or A/N elect to exercise their preemptive rights, (i) these parties would not experience the dilution experienced by the other holders of Charter Class A common stock, and (ii) such other holders of Charter Class A common stock may experience further dilution of their interest in Charter upon such exercise.

***We currently have a significant amount of debt and expect to incur additional debt in connection with the Cox Transactions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to react to changes in our business.***

We have significant debt, with total principal amount of approximately $95.0 billion and a leverage ratio of 4.2 times Adjusted EBITDA as of September 30, 2025. We expect to incur additional debt in the future as Charter plans to maintain leverage near the midpoint of its stated 4.0 to 4.5 times Adjusted EBITDA target leverage range (net debt divided by the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA) in the period leading up to the Closing and to fund the $4.0 billion of cash consideration required in the Cox Transactions using debt. Charter will also assume Cox Communications' approximately $12.4 billion of net debt and finance leases as part of the Cox Transactions. Charter plans to adjust its long-term target leverage range after Closing to 3.5 to 4.0 times Adjusted EBITDA but will still have a significant amount of debt.

Our significant amount of debt could have adverse consequences, such as to:

• impact our ability to raise additional debt capital at reasonable rates, or at all;

• make us vulnerable to interest rate increases, in part because approximately 13% of our borrowings as of September 30, 2025 were, and may continue to be, subject to variable rates of interest;

• expose us to increased interest expense to the extent we refinance existing debt with higher cost debt;

• require us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operating activities to make payments on our debt, reducing our funds available for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the cable and telecommunications industries, and the economy at large;

• place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionately less debt; and

• adversely affect our relationship with customers and suppliers.

In addition, we expect to incur additional indebtedness in the future, including to refinance and/or in connection with the assumption of indebtedness of Cox Communications and/or its subsidiaries after the completion of the Cox Transactions. To the extent our current debt amounts increase more than expected, our operating results are lower than expected, credit rating agencies downgrade our debt thereby increasing our costs of borrowing and potentially limiting our access to investment grade markets, or significant financial market disruptions occur, the related risks that we now face will intensify.

***If we are not able to successfully integrate Cox Communications' business within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated cost savings and other benefits of the Cox Transactions may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. In such circumstances, in the event the Cox Transactions are completed, we may not perform as expected and the value of the Charter Class A common stock may be adversely affected.***

Charter and Cox Communications have operated and, until completion of the Cox Transactions will continue to operate, independently, and there can be no assurances that their businesses can be integrated successfully. After the consummation of the Cox Transactions the combined company will have significantly more systems, assets, investments, businesses, customers and employees than each company did prior to the Cox Transactions. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key Charter and/or Cox Communications employees, the loss of subscribers and customers, the disruption of the companies' ongoing businesses or unexpected integration issues, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. The process of integrating Cox Communications

------

with the businesses Charter operated prior to the Cox Transactions will require significant capital expenditures and the expansion of certain operations and operating and financial systems. Management of each company will be required to devote a significant amount of time and attention to the integration process before the Cox Transactions are completed. There is a significant degree of difficulty and management involvement inherent in that process. These difficulties include:

• integrating the companies' operations and corporate functions;

• integrating the companies' technologies, networks and customer service platforms;

• integrating and unifying the product offerings and services available to customers;

• harmonizing the companies' operating practices, employee development and compensation programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;

• maintaining existing relationships and agreements with customers, providers, programmers and other vendors and avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers, providers and vendors;

• addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;

• consolidating the companies' administrative and information technology infrastructure;

• coordinating programming and marketing efforts;

• coordinating geographically dispersed organizations;

• integrating information, purchasing, provisioning, accounting, finance, sales, billing, payroll, reporting and regulatory compliance systems;

• integrating and unifying the product offerings and services available to customers, including customer premise equipment and video user interfaces;

• managing a larger company than before the completion of the Cox Transactions; and

• attracting and retaining the necessary personnel associated with the acquired assets.

Even if the new businesses are successfully integrated, it may not be possible to realize the benefits that are expected to result from the Cox Transactions, or realize these benefits within the time frame that is expected. For example, the elimination of duplicative costs may not be possible or may take longer than anticipated, or the benefits from the Cox Transactions may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating the businesses and increased operating costs. If the combined company fails to realize the anticipated benefits from the Cox Transactions, its liquidity, results of operations, financial condition and/or share price may be adversely affected. In addition, at times, the attention of certain members of Charter's and/or Cox Communications' management and resources may be focused on the completion of the Cox Transactions and the integration of the businesses and diverted from day-to-day business operations, which may disrupt each company's business and the business of the combined company.

***The market prices of Charter Class A common stock may decline as a result of the Cox Transactions.***

The market prices of Charter Class A common stock may decline as a result of the Cox Transactions if, among other things, the costs of the Cox Transactions are greater than expected, we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the Cox Transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or the effect of the Cox Transactions on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. Any of these events may make it more difficult for Charter to sell equity or equity-related securities and have an adverse impact on the price of Charter Class A common stock.

***The Cox Transactions raise other risks.***

The pending Cox Transactions raise additional risks not described above. For additional information, see the definitive proxy statement with respect to the Cox Transactions, filed by Charter on July 2, 2025, including the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Where You Can Find More Information" included therein.
