MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes ("Notes") included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a global media and technology company with two primary businesses: Connectivity & Platforms and Content & Experiences. We present the operations of (1) our Connectivity & Platforms business in two segments: Residential Connectivity & Platforms and Business Services Connectivity; and (2) our Content & Experiences business in three segments: Media, Studios and Theme Parks. Refer to Note 2 for information on our segments, including a description of the segment composition change implemented in the first quarter of 2026. All amounts are presented under the updated segment structure.
The Separation of Versant occurred on January 2, 2026. The results of Versant are included in our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and are excluded from our segment operating results (see Note 2).

Consolidated revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to increases in the Content & Experiences business and in Corporate and Other, partially offset by a decrease due to the Separation in 2026 and a decrease in the Connectivity & Platforms business. Consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes the results of Versant. Revenue for our segments and other businesses is discussed separately below under the heading "Segment Operating Results."
Consolidated costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to increases in the Content & Experiences business, in Corporate and Other and in the Connectivity and Platforms business, partially offset by a decrease due to the Separation in 2026. Consolidated costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes the results of Versant.
Costs and expenses for our segments and our corporate operations and other businesses are discussed separately below under the heading "Segment Operating Results."
Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent with the prior year period for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily driven by increased depreciation due to the opening of Epic Universe in May 2025 and impairments of certain long-lived assets in the current year period, partially offset by lower amortization of customer relationships and other agreements and rights due to the Separation.
Amortization expense from acquisition-related intangible assets totaled $528 million and $789 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Amounts primarily relate to intangible assets, including customer relationships and other agreements and rights, recorded in connection with the Sky transaction in 2018 and the NBCUniversal transaction in 2011.
Consolidated interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to decreases in capitalized interest driven by the opening of Epic Universe.
Consolidated investment and other income (loss), net decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

The change in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to our investment in Atairos. The income (losses) at Atairos were driven by fair value adjustments on its underlying investments with income (loss) of $(335) million and $(169) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The change in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to higher net unrealized losses on nonmarketable securities in the prior year period.
The change in other income (loss), net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily resulted from foreign exchange remeasurement gains in the prior year period.
Consolidated income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 reflects an effective income tax rate that differs from the federal statutory rate due to state and foreign income taxes and adjustments associated with uncertain tax positions. The decrease in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily driven by lower domestic income before income taxes.
Consolidated net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests changed for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to our regional sports networks and Universal Beijing Resort.

Total Connectivity & Platforms Adjusted EBITDA margin 39.6 % 41.0 % (140) bps (100) bps
(a)Our Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We believe this metric is useful particularly as we continue to focus on growing our higher-margin businesses and improving overall operating cost management. The changes reflect the year-over-year basis point changes in the rounded Adjusted EBITDA margins.
(b)Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section on page 25 for additional information, including our definition and our use of constant currency, and for a reconciliation of constant currency amounts.
We continue to focus on growing our higher-margin connectivity businesses while managing overall operating costs. We also continue to invest in our network to support higher-speed broadband offerings and to expand the number of residential and business passings. Our customer relationship additions/(losses) continue to be negatively impacted by an increasingly competitive environment. We are focused on increasing our residential connectivity revenue. In 2025, we simplified our broadband pricing structure and began offering a free wireless line for one year to new and existing domestic broadband customers, which we expect will improve customer retention and strengthen our ability to compete for new customers, but will negatively impact average domestic broadband revenue per customer. We also expect continued declines in video revenue as a result of domestic customer net losses due to shifting video consumption patterns and the competitive environment, although customer net losses typically mitigate the impact of continued rate increases on programming expenses, as well as continued declines in other revenue related to declines in wireline voice revenue. We are also focused on growing our Business Services Connectivity segment revenue by offering competitive services, including enterprise solutions, and driving higher adoption of our advanced solutions.

(a)Residential Connectivity & Platforms customer relationships generally represent the number of residential customers that subscribe to at least one of our services. International Residential Connectivity & Platforms customer relationships represent customers receiving Sky services in the United Kingdom and Italy. Because each of our services includes a variety of product tiers, which may change from time to time, net additions or losses in any one period will
reflect a mix of customers at various tiers.
(b)Total Residential Connectivity & Platforms customer relationships and International Residential Connectivity & Platforms customer relationships were updated in the first quarter of 2026 due to a conforming change in methodology, resulting in a decrease of 125,000 customers. There was no impact to net additions and information for the prior period has been recast on a comparable basis.
(c)Connectivity & Platforms domestic residential passings are considered passed if we can connect them to our network in the United States without further extending the transmission lines. The number of residential passings is an estimate based on the best available information.
(d)Penetration is calculated by dividing the number of domestic broadband residential customers located within our network by the number of domestic residential passings.
(e)Domestic wireless lines represent the number of residential and business customers' wireless devices. An individual customer relationship may have multiple wireless lines.

We operate our Media segment as a combined television and streaming business. We expect that the number of subscribers and audience ratings at our linear television networks will continue to decline as a result of the competitive environment and shifting video consumption patterns, which we aim to mitigate over time by growth in both paid subscribers and advertising revenue at Peacock. We expect to continue to incur significant costs related to content and marketing at Peacock. Revenue and programming expenses are also impacted by the timing of certain sporting events, including the Milan Cortina Olympics and Super Bowl in the first quarter of 2026 and the NBA season beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Our Studios segment generates revenue primarily from third parties and from licensing content to our Media segment. While the results of operations for our Studios segment are not impacted, results for our total Content & Experiences business may be impacted as the Studios segment licenses content to the Media segment, including for Peacock, rather than licensing the content to third parties.
We continue to invest significantly in existing and new theme park attractions, hotels and infrastructure, including Epic Universe in Orlando, which opened in May 2025, as well as in new destinations and experiences, including a Universal theme park and resort in the United Kingdom with a projected opening date in 2031, subject to various approvals.

Excluding the incremental revenue associated with this event, domestic distribution revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily due to an increase in revenue at Peacock driven by an increase in paid subscribers and higher average rates compared to the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in revenue at our linear television networks. The decrease at our linear television networks was primarily due to a decline in the number of subscribers, partially offset by contractual rate increases.
International networks revenue primarily consists of revenue generated by our networks operating predominantly outside the United States, including the Sky Sports networks in the United Kingdom and Italy. This revenue primarily results from the distribution of our television networks to traditional and virtual multichannel video providers and other platforms, as well as sales of advertising.

Media segment total revenue included $2.1 billion related to Peacock for the three months ended March 31, 2026, including amounts related to the Milan Cortina Olympics and Super Bowl. Media segment total revenue included $1.2 billion related to Peacock for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

We had 46 million and 41 million paid subscribers of Peacock as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Peacock paid subscribers represent customers from which we recognize distribution revenue from the Peacock service, including both customers that pay us directly and customers receiving the service through arrangements with companies who sell Peacock on our behalf. In these arrangements, paid subscribers are counted based on the terms of the arrangement when the related revenue is recognized. As a result, certain customers are counted when they activate their account, while other customers are counted when the Peacock service is made available to them as part of their bundled service offering regardless of whether it is activated.
Media Segment - Costs and Expenses
Programming and production costs primarily consists of the amortization of owned and licensed content, including sports rights, direct production costs, production overhead, on-air talent costs and costs associated with the distribution of our television networks to multichannel video providers.
Programming and production costs increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to costs associated with the Milan Cortina Olympics and Super Bowl and an increase due to the impact of NBA rights in the current year period.

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

(a)Transaction costs are incremental costs directly related to effectuating the Separation and primarily include advisory, legal and audit fees, as well as legal entity separation costs. Transaction-related costs are incremental costs incurred related to the Separation, including costs that reflect strategic decisions about how the standalone Versant business will be structured or operated, which may be different than if it remained part of Comcast. Transaction-related costs primarily include certain separation-related employee compensation, severance and retention bonuses; IT separation and implementation costs; and other one-time costs.
(b)Amounts represent the impact of certain other events, gains, losses or other charges that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. The three months ended March 31, 2026 includes a gain related to a legal settlement, certain share-based compensation expenses and costs related to our investment portfolio. The three months ended March 31, 2025 includes certain costs related to our investment portfolio.
Constant Currency
Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are non-GAAP financial measures that present our results of operations excluding the estimated effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Certain of our businesses, including Connectivity & Platforms, have operations outside the United States that are conducted in local currencies. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In our Connectivity & Platforms business, we use constant currency and constant currency growth rates to evaluate the underlying performance of the businesses, and we believe they are helpful for investors because such measures present operating results on a comparable basis year over year to allow the evaluation of their underlying performance.
Constant currency and constant currency growth rates are calculated by comparing the results for each comparable prior year period adjusted to reflect the average exchange rates from each current year period presented rather than the actual exchange rates that were in effect during the respective periods.

Our businesses generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements, including fixed charges, through our cash flows from operating activities; existing cash, cash equivalents and investments; available borrowings under our existing credit facility; and our ability to obtain future external financing. We anticipate that we will continue to use a substantial portion of our cash flows from operating activities in repaying our debt obligations, funding our capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets, investing in business opportunities, and returning capital to shareholders.
We maintain significant availability under our revolving credit facility and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Our commercial paper program generally provides a lower-cost source of borrowing to fund our short-term working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2026, amounts available under our revolving credit facility, net of amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program and outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, totaled $11.8 billion.
Our revolving credit facility contains a financial covenant pertaining to leverage, which is the ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined in the agreement. Compliance with this financial covenant is tested on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2026, we met this financial covenant, and we expect to remain in compliance with this financial covenant.

Net cash provided by operating activities $ 6,891 $ 8,294
The variance in changes in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily related to the timing of amortization and related payments for our film and television costs, including the timing of sports, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and decreases in deferred revenue, which included the impacts of our broadcasts of the Olympics and Super Bowl.
Payments of interest increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to decreased capitalized interest driven by the opening of Epic Universe.
Payments of income taxes decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to decreased third-party transferable tax credits purchased in the current year period.
Legislation signed into law in 2025 in the United States is expected to significantly reduce our payments of income taxes over the next several years, with variability across the years, primarily due to additional depreciation deductions.
Proceeds from investments and other decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to a gain on a legal settlement in the current year period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to proceeds from a legal settlement and cash from derivative settlements in the current year period, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures and an increase in purchases of investments. Capital expenditures increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to increased spending by the Connectivity & Platforms businesses primarily on customer premise equipment, scalable infrastructure and support capital, partially offset by decreased spending driven by the opening of Epic Universe in 2025.
In 2025, we entered into an agreement with RTL Group to sell our Sky operations in Germany, subject to various conditions and approvals, and we expect the sale to be completed in 2026. The related assets and liabilities are presented as held for sale as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (see Note 6).
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to higher repurchases and repayments of debt, partially offset by impacts from the Versant transaction and lower repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program and employee plans in the current year period.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Versant incurred $1.0 billion of indebtedness from the issuance of certain notes and on January 2, 2026, before the Distribution, Versant borrowed $2.0 billion of indebtedness from certain credit facilities. Versant's $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of indebtedness ceased to be consolidated indebtedness of Comcast in connection with the Separation. On the Separation date, Versant distributed to us $2.25 billion of cash, which was funded by the $3.0 billion of prior indebtedness, resulting in a net cash distribution of $750 million to Versant in the first quarter of 2026.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we made debt repayments of $3.2 billion, including $2.1 billion of 3.150% Notes due March 2026 and $629 million of 5.350% Notes due November 2027, which were paid using the proceeds from the distribution from Versant, together with cash on hand. We also made debt repayments of $418 million principal amount of notes due at maturity.
We have made, and may from time to time in the future make, optional repayments on our debt obligations, which may include repurchases or exchanges of our outstanding public notes and debentures, depending on various factors, such as market conditions. Any such repurchases may be effected through privately negotiated transactions, market transactions, tender offers, redemptions or otherwise. In particular, we may repurchase varying amounts of our outstanding public notes and debentures with short to medium term maturities through privately negotiated or market transactions. See Notes 5 and 7 for additional information on our financing activities.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
In January 2025, our Board of Directors terminated the existing share repurchase program authorization and approved a new share repurchase program authorization of $15.0 billion, which has no expiration date. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased a total of 42 million shares of our Class A common stock for $1.3 billion under this share repurchase program. We did not purchase any shares outside of this program. As of March 31, 2026, we had $7.6 billion remaining under the authorization. We expect to repurchase additional shares of our Class A common stock under this authorization in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market and other conditions.
In addition, we paid $242 million and $219 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to employee taxes associated with the administration of our share-based compensation plans.
In January 2026, our Board of Directors approved a dividend consistent with the prior year of $1.32 per share on an annualized basis and approved our first quarter dividend of $0.33 per share, which was paid in April 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid dividends of $1.2 billion. We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors.
Guarantee Structure
Our debt is primarily issued at Comcast, although we also have debt at certain of our subsidiaries as a result of acquisitions and other issuances. A substantial amount of this debt is subject to guarantees by Comcast and by certain subsidiaries that we have put in place to simplify our capital structure. We believe this guarantee structure provides liquidity benefits to debt investors and helps to simplify credit analysis with respect to relative value considerations of guaranteed subsidiary debt.

Cross-Guarantees
Comcast, NBCUniversal and Comcast Cable (the "Guarantors") fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee each other's debt securities. NBCUniversal and Comcast Cable also guarantee other borrowings of Comcast, including its revolving credit facility. These guarantees rank equally with all other general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the respective Guarantors. However, the obligations of the Guarantors under the guarantees are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of their respective non-guarantor subsidiaries. The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor's obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of U.S. and non-U.S. law. Each Guarantor's obligations will remain in effect until all amounts payable with respect to the guaranteed securities have been paid in full. However, a guarantee by NBCUniversal or Comcast Cable of Comcast's debt securities, or by NBCUniversal of Comcast Cable's debt securities, will terminate upon a disposition of such Guarantor entity or all or substantially all of its assets.
The Guarantors are each holding companies that principally hold investments in, borrow from and lend to non-guarantor subsidiary operating companies; issue and service third-party debt obligations; repurchase shares and pay dividends; and engage in certain corporate and headquarters activities. The Guarantors are generally dependent on non-guarantor subsidiary operating companies to fund these activities.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the combined Guarantors have noncurrent notes payable to non-guarantor subsidiaries of $112 billion and $107 billion, respectively, and noncurrent notes receivable from non-guarantor subsidiaries of $15 billion and $14 billion, respectively. This financial information is that of the Guarantors presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances between the Guarantors eliminated. The combined financial information excludes financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries. The underlying net assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries are significantly in excess of the Guarantor obligations. Excluding investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries, external debt and the noncurrent notes payable and receivable with non-guarantor subsidiaries, the Guarantors do not have material assets, liabilities or results of operations.
One-Way Guarantees
Comcast provides full and unconditional guarantees of certain debt issued by Sky Limited ("Sky"), including all of its senior notes, and other consolidated subsidiaries not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the SEC.
Comcast also provides a full and unconditional guarantee of $138 million principal amount of subordinated debt issued by Comcast Holdings. Comcast's obligations under this guarantee are subordinated and subject, in right of payment, to the prior payment in full of all of Comcast's senior indebtedness, including debt guaranteed by Comcast on a senior basis, and are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of its non-guarantor subsidiaries (for purposes of this Comcast Holdings discussion, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal are included within the non-guarantor subsidiary group). Comcast's obligations as guarantor will remain in effect until all amounts payable with respect to the guaranteed debt have been paid in full. However, the guarantee will terminate upon a disposition of Comcast Holdings or all or substantially all of its assets. Comcast Holdings is a consolidated subsidiary holding company that directly or indirectly holds 100% and approximately 32% of our equity interests in Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Comcast and Comcast Holdings, the combined issuer and guarantor of the guaranteed subordinated debt, have noncurrent senior notes payable to non-guarantor subsidiaries of $76 billion and $71 billion, respectively, and noncurrent notes receivable from non-guarantor subsidiaries of $11 billion for both periods. This financial information is that of Comcast and Comcast Holdings presented on a combined basis with intercompany balances between Comcast and Comcast Holdings eliminated. The combined financial information excludes financial information of non-guarantor subsidiaries of Comcast and Comcast Holdings. The underlying net assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of Comcast and Comcast Holdings are significantly in excess of the obligations of Comcast and Comcast Holdings. Excluding investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries, external debt, and the noncurrent notes payable and receivable with non-guarantor subsidiaries, Comcast and Comcast Holdings do not have material assets, liabilities or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe our estimates associated with the valuation and impairment testing of goodwill are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We assessed goodwill for impairment in connection with the Separation and our change in segment composition in the first quarter of 2026. Based on our assessment, no impairment was required, and the estimated fair values of our reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values.
For a more complete discussion of the accounting estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
