Excluding the impact from acquisitions, residential services revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in high-speed data revenues, partially offset by a decline in video revenues.

 

•

The growth in residential high-speed data revenues was the result of growth in high-speed data subscribers and an increase in average revenues per subscriber (due to both price increases and a greater percentage of subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service).

•

Residential video revenues decreased driven by declines in video subscribers and revenues from premium channels and transactional video-on-demand, partially offset by price increases, a greater percentage of subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service and increased revenues from equipment rental charges.

•

Residential voice revenues remained essentially flat as growth in voice subscribers was offset by a decrease in average revenues per subscriber.

---

Excluding the impact from acquisitions, business services revenue growth was primarily due to increases in high-speed data and voice subscribers and growth in Metro Ethernet revenues.

Excluding the impact from acquisitions, advertising revenues increased primarily as a result of increases in political advertising and revenues from advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors.

Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted OIBDA”) for the second quarter of 2012 increased 10.3% from the second quarter of 2011 to $2.0 billion. The increase was driven by revenue growth, partially offset by an 8.8% increase in operating expenses.

Operating expenses grew primarily due to higher employee costs, video programming expenses, other operating costs and bad debt expense, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense. Employee costs were up 11.3% to $1.1 billion, primarily as a result of acquisitions, increased business services headcount and higher compensation costs per employee. Pension costs increased $15 million. Video programming expenses grew 5.9% to $1.2 billion due to contractual rate increases and the acquisition of Insight offset, in part, by an organic decline in video subscribers. For the second quarter of 2012, video programming costs were reduced by approximately $15 million due to net changes in cost estimates for programming services carried without a contract, changes in programming audit reserves and certain contract settlements. Average monthly video programming costs per video subscriber increased 3.7% year-over-year to $30.92 for the second quarter of 2012. Bad debt expense increased 44.1% to $49 million, primarily as a result of higher collection expense, as well as the Insight acquisition.

Operating Income for the second quarter of 2012 increased 7.2% from the second quarter of 2011 to $1.1 billion. Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements details certain items affecting the comparability of TWC’s results for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011. Excluding these items, second-quarter 2012 Operating Income would have grown 8.3% to $1.2 billion, driven by higher Adjusted OIBDA, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses primarily as a result of the Company’s recent acquisitions (largely Insight).

Adjusted OIBDA less Capital Expenditures for the first six months of 2012 totaled $2.5 billion, a 12.5% increase over the first six months of 2011, due to higher Adjusted OIBDA, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. Capital Expenditures were $1.4 billion for the first six months of 2012, a 4.0% increase over the first six months of 2011, largely reflecting higher spending in support capital (primarily residential services and other), as well as business services line extensions, partially offset by lower spending in residential services scalable infrastructure.

Net Income Attributable to TWC Shareholders was $452 million, or $1.44 per basic common share and $1.43 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $420 million, or $1.25 per basic common share and $1.24 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2011. Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements details certain items affecting the comparability of TWC’s net income attributable to TWC shareholders for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to TWC Shareholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which exclude the items detailed in Note 1, were $466 million and $1.48, respectively, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $408 million and $1.20, respectively, for the second quarter of 2011. These increases were primarily due to higher Operating Income and lower other expense, net, partially offset by higher income tax provision and interest expense, net. Additionally, Adjusted Diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2012 benefited from lower average common shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Free Cash Flow for the first six months of 2012 decreased 11.5% to $1.5 billion from $1.7 billion in the first six months of 2011, due mainly to lower cash provided by operating activities and an increase in capital expenditures. Cash Provided by Operating Activities for the first six months of 2012 was $2.9 billion, a 5.2% decrease from $3.1 billion in the first six months of 2011. This decrease was driven by a significant income tax refund received in the first quarter of 2011 and an increase in net interest payments, partially offset by higher Adjusted OIBDA.

2.	USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In discussing its performance, the Company may use certain measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures include OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures, Adjusted net income attributable to TWC shareholders, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow, which the Company defines as follows:

 

•

OIBDA (Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization) means Operating Income before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets.

 

•

Adjusted OIBDA means OIBDA excluding the impact, if any, of noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; gains and losses on asset sales; merger-related and restructuring costs; and costs associated with certain equity awards granted to employees to offset value lost as a result of the Company’s separation from Time Warner (the “Separation”).

 

•

Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures means Adjusted OIBDA minus capital expenditures.

 

•

Adjusted net income attributable to TWC shareholders means net income attributable to TWC shareholders (as defined under GAAP) excluding the impact, if any, of noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets and investments; gains and losses on asset sales; merger-related and restructuring costs; changes in the Company’s equity award reimbursement obligation to Time Warner; certain changes to income tax provision; and costs associated with certain equity awards granted to employees to offset value lost as a result of the Separation; as well as the impact of taxes and noncontrolling interests on the above items. Similarly, Adjusted Diluted EPS means net income per diluted common share attributable to TWC common shareholders excluding the above items.

 

•

Free Cash Flow means cash provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) excluding the impact, if any, of cash provided or used by discontinued operations, plus (i) any income taxes paid on investment sales and (ii) any excess tax benefit from equity-based compensation, less (i) capital expenditures, (ii) cash paid for other intangible assets (excluding those associated with business combinations), (iii) partnership distributions to third parties and (iv) principal payments on capital leases.

Management uses OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business because they eliminate the effects of (1) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and amortization and (2) items not within the control of the Company’s operations managers (such as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax provision, other income (expense), net, and interest expense, net). Adjusted OIBDA further eliminates the effects of certain noncash items identified in the definition of Adjusted OIBDA above. Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures also allows management to evaluate performance including the effect of capital spending decisions. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures are also significant performance measures used in the Company’s annual incentive compensation programs. Adjusted net income attributable to TWC shareholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS are considered important indicators of the operational strength of the Company as these measures eliminate amounts that do not reflect the fundamental performance of the Company. The Company utilizes Adjusted Diluted EPS, among other measures, to evaluate its performance both on an absolute basis and relative to its peers and the broader market. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is an important indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash, reduce net debt, pay dividends, repurchase common stock and make

strategic investments, after the payment of cash taxes, interest and other cash items. In addition, all of these measures are commonly used by analysts, investors and others in evaluating the Company’s performance and liquidity.

These measures have inherent limitations. For example, OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA do not reflect capital expenditures or the periodic costs of certain capitalized assets used in generating revenues. To compensate for such limitations, management evaluates performance through Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures and Free Cash Flow, which reflect capital expenditure decisions, and net income attributable to TWC shareholders, which reflects the periodic costs of capitalized assets. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures do not reflect any of the items noted as exclusions in the definition of Adjusted OIBDA above. To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates performance through OIBDA and net income attributable to TWC shareholders, which do reflect such items. OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures also fail to reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income taxes and debt servicing costs, the share of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less capital expenditures attributable to noncontrolling interests, the results of the Company’s equity investments and other non-operational income or expense. Additionally, Adjusted net income attributable to TWC shareholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of the Company and they involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance. Management compensates for these limitations by using other analytics such as a review of net income attributable to TWC shareholders. Free Cash Flow, a liquidity measure, does not reflect payments made in connection with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates such investments and acquisitions through other measures such as return on investment analyses.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, the Company’s Operating Income, net income attributable to TWC shareholders and various cash flow measures (e.g., cash provided by operating activities), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
