Charter Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results

Stamford, Connecticut - July 27, 2017 - Charter Communications, Inc. (formerly known as CCH I, LLC, along with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Charter”) today reported financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. On May 18, 2016, Charter completed its transactions between the Company, Time Warner Cable Inc. ("Legacy TWC") and Charter Communications, Inc. ("Legacy Charter"), and Legacy Charter and Bright House Networks, LLC ("Legacy Bright House") (collectively, the “Transactions”). Pro forma¹ results give effect to the Transactions as if they had closed on January 1, 2015 and include the operations of Legacy Charter, Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Key highlights:


•	During the second quarter of 2017, Charter completed the roll-out of its high-value Spectrum pricing, packaging and brand across the Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House residential footprints, with the launch of Spectrum in Hawaii, in June.

•

Second quarter total customer relationships increased 211,000, compared to 231,000 on a pro forma basis during the second quarter of 2016, when excluding the impact of customer disconnect activity related to Legacy Bright House’s seasonal customer plan in 2016.² Second quarter total residential and SMB primary service units ("PSUs") increased by 243,000, while pro forma second quarter 2016 PSUs grew by 422,000, when adjusted for seasonal customer program changes at Legacy Bright House.


•	Second quarter revenues of $10.4 billion grew 3.9% on a pro forma basis, as compared to the prior year period, driven by residential revenue growth of 3.8% and commercial revenue growth of 9.5%. On an actual basis, second quarter revenue grew 68.1% year-over-year, driven primarily by the Transactions.


•	Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA³ of $3.8 billion grew 8.6% year-over-year on a pro forma basis, and 8.7% when excluding transition costs. On an actual basis, second quarter Adjusted EBITDA grew by 73.3%, driven primarily by the Transactions.

•

Net income attributable to Charter shareholders in the second quarter declined to $139 million from $248 million on a pro forma basis during the same period last year. The decline in year-over-year net income was driven by a pension curtailment gain in the second quarter of 2016 and an increase in depreciation and amortization in the second quarter of 2017, partly offset by a year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA. On an actual basis, net income declined to $139 million from $3.1 billion during the second quarter of 2016, primarily driven by an income tax benefit in the prior year quarter.

“With the rollout of our new pricing and packaging completed in June, we are now offering a simple, high value product across our 50 million passings, under one brand, Spectrum. That product is working in the marketplace, and we continue to see higher year-over-year customer connect volumes across our new footprint,” said Tom Rutledge, Chairman and CEO of Charter Communications, Inc. “As we move forward with our integration, more of our customers are getting better products at better prices, which will drive higher customer satisfaction, lower churn and greater value into our business.”

¹See Exhibit 99.1 in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2016, which includes reconciliations of the pro forma information to actual information for each quarter of 2015 and the first and second quarters of 2016. See the “Use of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Pro Forma Information” section of this document for additional information.

²In the second quarter of 2017, Charter conformed the seasonal customer program in the Legacy Bright House footprint to Charter's program. For additional information, see footnote j on page 6 of the addendum to this release.

³Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are defined in the “Use of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Pro Forma Information” section and are reconciled to consolidated net income and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the addendum of this news release.

Footnotes

In thousands, except per customer and penetration data. See footnotes to unaudited summary of operating statistics on page 6 of the addendum of this news release. The footnotes contain important disclosures regarding the definitions used for these operating statistics.

All percentages are calculated using whole numbers. Minor differences may exist due to rounding.

During the second quarter, Charter completed the launch of its Spectrum brand, and residential pricing and packaging to residences in the Legacy TWC and Bright House footprints, with the roll-out of Spectrum in Hawaii. In July, Charter completed the launch of Spectrum pricing and packaging for small and medium businesses in Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House markets.

In June, Charter restarted all-digital efforts for the approximately 40% of Legacy TWC's footprint and 60% of Legacy Bright House's footprint that are not yet all-digital. All-digital allows Charter to offer more advanced products and services, and provides residential customers with two-way digital set-tops, which offer better picture quality, an interactive programming guide and video on demand on all TV outlets in the home.

During the second quarter of 2017, Charter's residential customer relationships grew by 167,000, while pro forma second quarter 2016 customer relationships grew by 126,000, or 184,000 when adjusted for seasonal program changes made at Legacy Bright House.^1,2 Residential PSUs increased by 155,000 in the second quarter of 2017, while pro forma second quarter 2016 PSUs increased by 167,000, or 340,000 when adjusted for seasonal program changes at Legacy Bright House. As of June 30, 2017, Charter had 25.3 million residential customer relationships and 49.1 million residential PSUs.

Residential video customers decreased by 90,000 in the second quarter of 2017, while pro forma second quarter 2016 video customers decreased by 152,000, or 100,000 when adjusted for seasonal program changes at Legacy Bright House. Over the last twelve months, Legacy Charter grew residential video customers by 16,000 or 0.4%. As of June 30, 2017, Charter had 16.6 million residential video customers.

Charter added 231,000 residential Internet customers in the second quarter of 2017, while pro forma second quarter 2016 Internet customers grew by 236,000, or 308,000 when adjusted for seasonal program changes at Legacy Bright House. Charter now offers minimum Internet speeds of at least 100 Mbps to over 50% of its total footprint, with nearly all of Charter's remaining footprint offering minimum Internet speeds of at least 60 Mbps. As of June 30, 2017, 93% of Legacy Charter's residential Internet customers subscribed to tiers that provided speeds of 60 Mbps or more compared to 52% at Legacy TWC and 78% at Legacy Bright House. The Company continues to see strong demand for its Internet service as consumers value the speed and reliability of Charter's Internet offering. As of June 30, 2017, Charter had 22.0 million residential Internet customers.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company added 14,000 residential voice customers, while pro forma second quarter 2016 voice customers grew by 83,000, or 132,000 when adjusted for seasonal program changes at Legacy Bright House. The year-over-year decline in voice net additions was primarily driven by higher churn at Legacy TWC resulting from promotions launched prior to the closing of the Transactions. As of June 30, 2017, Charter had 10.4 million residential voice customers.

Second quarter residential revenue per customer relationship totaled $109.46, a slight decrease as compared to the prior year period, as promotional rate step-ups and modest rate adjustments, were offset by continued single play Internet sell-in and the migration of Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House customers to higher-value Spectrum pricing and packaging.

During the second quarter of 2017, SMB customer relationships grew by 44,000, versus customer growth of 47,000 during the second quarter of 2016. SMB PSUs increased 88,000, compared to 82,000 during the second quarter of 2016. As of June 30, 2017, Charter had 1.5 million SMB customer relationships and 2.6 million SMB PSUs.

¹All customer data referred to herein for periods prior to the third quarter of 2016, are pro forma for the Transactions as if they had closed on January 1, 2015.

²See footnote j on page 6 of the addendum to this release for additional information regarding changes made to Legacy Bright House's seasonal customer program in the second quarter of 2017.

Revenue

On a pro forma basis, second quarter revenues rose 3.9% year-over-year to $10.4 billion, driven by growth in Internet and commercial revenues. On an actual basis, second quarter revenue increased 68.1% year-over-year, driven by the Transactions.

Video revenues totaled $4.1 billion in the second quarter, and remained virtually unchanged compared to the prior year period on a pro forma basis, as annual and promotional rate adjustments and revenue allocation relating to the launch of Spectrum pricing and packaging in Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House, were offset by a decrease in video customers over the last 12 months. On an actual basis, second quarter video revenues increased by 58.3% compared to the prior year period, driven by the Transactions.

On a pro forma basis, Internet revenues grew 12.1%, compared to the year-ago quarter, to $3.5 billion, driven by growth in Internet customers during the last year, promotional rolloff and revenue allocation relating to the launch of Spectrum pricing and packaging in Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House. On an actual basis, Internet revenues grew 80.2% year-over-year, as a result of the Transactions.

Voice revenues totaled $650 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 10.9% on a pro forma basis compared to the second quarter of 2016, as promotions and value-based pricing more than offset voice

customer growth over the last twelve months. Voice revenues increased 53.4% year-over-year, on an actual basis, driven by the Transactions.

Commercial revenues rose to $1.5 billion, an increase of 9.5% on a pro forma basis over the prior year period, driven by SMB revenue growth of 9.7% and enterprise revenue growth of 9.3%. On an actual basis, commercial revenues grew 80.4% year-over-year, as a result of the Transactions.

Second quarter advertising sales revenues of $381 million decreased 5.8% on a pro forma basis compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by a decrease in political, local and barter advertising revenue. On an actual basis, advertising sales grew 61.3% year-over-year, driven by the Transactions. Other revenues fell to $217 million, a decrease of 6.8% on a pro forma basis compared to the year-ago quarter, due to a benefit in the second quarter of 2016 related to a contractual settlement at Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House. On an actual basis, other revenues grew 67.0% year-over-year, as a result of the Transactions.

Operating Costs and Expenses

On a pro forma basis, second quarter total operating costs and expenses increased by $83 million, or 1.3%, compared to the year-ago period. On an actual basis, total operating costs and expenses grew by 65.2% year-over-year as a result of the Transactions.

Second quarter programming expense increased by $232 million, or 9.6% on a pro forma basis, as compared to the second quarter of 2016, reflecting contractual programming increases, renewals and improving expanded basic video sell-in at Legacy TWC, partly offset by Transactions synergies.

Costs to service customers decreased by $77 million or 3.9% on a pro forma basis year-over-year, as a result of benefits from the combination of the three companies and lower bad debt expense.

Marketing expenses decreased by $15 million, or 2.4% year-over-year, on a pro forma basis, due to efficiencies from the consolidation of marketing strategies following the Transactions. Other expenses decreased by $44 million, or 5.2% on a pro forma basis, as compared to the second quarter of 2016, driven primarily by Transactions synergies.

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 billion grew by 8.6% year-over-year on a pro forma basis, reflecting revenue growth and operating expense growth of 3.9% and 1.3%, respectively. Excluding transition costs of $30 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $25 million in the prior year period, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA grew by 8.7% year-over-year.

On an actual basis, Adjusted EBITDA grew by 73.3% year-over-year, due to the Transactions.

Net Income Attributable to Charter Shareholders

Net income attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $139 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to pro forma net income of $248 million in the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in pro forma net income was primarily driven by a pension curtailment gain related to Charter's announcement to freeze TWC's legacy defined benefit plans in the second quarter of 2016 and higher depreciation and amortization in the second quarter of 2017, partly offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower severance-related and transactions expenses. Net income per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $0.53 in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $0.92, on a pro forma basis, during the same period last year. The decrease was primarily the result of the factors described above, partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in pro forma weighted average shares outstanding versus the prior year period.

On an actual basis, net income attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $139 million during the second quarter of 2017, compared to $3.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an income tax benefit in the second quarter of 2016 related to the reduction of substantially all of Charter's historical valuation allowance associated with its deferred tax assets, and higher interest expense, partly offset by higher income from operations as a result of the Transactions. Actual net income per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $0.53 in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $16.73 during the same period last year. The decrease was primarily the result of the factors described above, and a 43.7% increase in weighted average shares outstanding versus the prior year period, also a result of the Transactions.

Capital Expenditures

Property, plant and equipment expenditures totaled $2.148 billion in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $2.075 billion, on a pro forma basis, during the second quarter of 2016. The pro forma year-over-year increase in capital expenditures was driven by an increase in CPE spending related to higher customer connect volumes driven by the launch of Spectrum pricing and packaging in Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House and the related higher set-top box placement rate per Spectrum connect, and CPE inventory. The decrease in scalable infrastructure was related to the timing of spend. Transition capital expenditures accounted for $86 million of capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2017, versus $111 million in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding transition-related expenditures, second quarter 2017 capital expenditures totaled $2.062 billion, compared to $1.964 billion, on a pro forma basis, during the same period last year.

On an actual basis, second quarter 2017 capital expenditures increased by $888 million as compared to the prior year, due to the Transactions.

Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow

During the second quarter of 2017, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $2.9 billion, compared to $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase in net cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to higher Adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by higher cash paid for interest in the second quarter of 2017 versus the second quarter of 2016, following the close of the Transactions.

Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $1.1 billion, compared to $524 million during the same period last year. The increase was related to higher net cash flows from operating activities in the second quarter of 2017 versus the second quarter of 2016, given the close of the Transactions, partly offset by higher actual capital expenditures.

Liquidity & Financing

As of June 30, 2017, total principal amount of debt was $61.8 billion and Charter's credit facilities provided approximately $2.8 billion of additional liquidity in excess of Charter's $694 million cash position.

In April, Charter redeemed Time Warner Cable, LLC's 5.850% senior secured notes due 2017.

Also in April, CCO Holdings, LLC and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. issued $1.25 billion of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2027, which form part of the same series of senior unsecured notes that were originally issued on February 6, 2017, and Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating") and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. issued $1.25 billion of 5.375% senior secured notes due 2047. The net proceeds were used to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, including buybacks of Charter Class A common stock or common units of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC.

In July, Charter Operating and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. issued $1.0 billion of 3.75% senior secured notes due 2028, and an additional $500 million of 5.375% senior secured notes

due 2047. The net proceeds will be used to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, including potential buybacks of Charter Class A common stock or common units of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC.

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, Charter purchased approximately 11.2 million shares of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units for approximately $3.7 billion.

Additional Information Available on Website

A slide presentation to accompany the conference call and a trending schedule containing historical customer and financial data will also be available in the “Financial Information” section.

Use of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Pro Forma Information

The company uses certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, consolidated net income and net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are reconciled to consolidated net income and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the Addendum to this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on financial instruments, other pension benefits, other (income) expense, net and other operating (income) expenses, such as merger and restructuring costs, special charges and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company's businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.

Management and Charter's board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company's credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the the SEC). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, the Company uses Adjusted

EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by its operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. The Company's debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were $256 million and $202 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and were $529 million and $304 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Pro forma results give effect to the Transactions as if they had closed on January 1, 2015 and include the operations of Legacy Charter, Legacy TWC and Legacy Bright House for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Due to the transformative nature of the Transactions, the Company believes that providing a discussion of its results of operations on a pro forma basis provides management and investors a more meaningful perspective on the Company's financial and operational performance and trends. The results of operations data on a pro forma basis are provided for illustrative purposes only and are based on available information and assumptions that Charter believes are reasonable and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of Charter would have been had the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2015, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Exhibit 99.1 in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 filed with the SEC on November 3, 2016 provides pro forma financial information for each quarter of 2015 and the first and second quarters of 2016 and a reconciliation of the pro forma financial information to the actual results of operations of the Company.

Pro forma results reflect certain acquisitions of cable systems in 2016 as if they occurred as of January 1, 2015. All percentages are calculated using whole numbers. Minor differences may exist due to rounding. See footnotes to unaudited summary of operating statistics on page 6 of this addendum.

(a)	All customer statistics include the operations of Legacy TWC, Legacy Bright House and Legacy Charter each of which is based on individual legacy company reporting methodology. These methodologies differ and their differences may be material. Statistical reporting will be conformed over time to a single Charter reporting methodology.

	We calculate the aging of customer accounts based on the monthly billing cycle for each account. On that basis, at June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, actual customers include approximately 209,500, 168,400, 208,400 and 208,600 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 60 days past due, approximately 14,800, 13,300, 15,500 and 14,000 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 90 days past due and approximately 8,700, 7,900, 8,000 and 8,000 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 120 days past due.

(b)	Passings represent our estimate of the number of units, such as single family homes, apartment and condominium units and small and medium business and enterprise sites passed by our cable distribution network in the areas where we offer the service indicated. These estimates are based upon the information available at this time and are updated for all periods presented when new information becomes available.

(c)	Penetration represents residential, small and medium business and enterprise customers as a percentage of estimated passings for the service indicated.

(d)	Customer relationships include the number of customers that receive one or more levels of service, encompassing video, Internet and voice services, without regard to which service(s) such customers receive. Customers who reside in residential multiple dwelling units ("MDUs") and that are billed under bulk contracts are counted based on the number of billed units within each bulk MDU. Total customer relationships excludes enterprise customer relationships.

(e)	Single play, double play and triple play customers represent customers that subscribe to one, two or three of Charter service offerings, respectively.

(f)	Single play, double play and triple play penetration represents the number of residential single play, double play and triple play customers, respectively, as a percentage of residential customer relationships.

(g)	Pro forma monthly residential revenue per residential customer is calculated as total pro forma residential video, Internet and voice quarterly revenue divided by three divided by average pro forma residential customer relationships during the respective quarter.

(h)	Pro forma monthly small and medium business revenue per customer is calculated as total pro forma small and medium business quarterly revenue divided by three divided by average pro forma small and medium business customer relationships during the respective quarter.

(i)	Enterprise PSUs represents the aggregate number of fiber service offerings counting each separate service offering at each customer location as an individual PSU.

(j)	In the second quarter of 2017, Charter conformed the seasonal customer program in the Legacy Bright House footprint to Charter's program. Prior to the plan change, Legacy Bright House customers enrolling in the seasonal plan were charged a one-time fee and counted as customer disconnects, and as new connects, when moving off the seasonal plan. Under Charter's seasonal plan, residential customers pay a reduced monthly fee while the seasonal plan is active and remain reported as customers. Excluding the impact of customer disconnect activity related to the previous seasonal plan, Legacy Bright House residential customer relationships at June 30, 2016, would have been higher by approximately 58,000, and video, Internet and voice PSUs and net additions for the second quarter of 2016, would have been higher by 52,000, 72,000 and 49,000 respectively.
