Revenue for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 2.4% to $16.2 billion. Excluding $1.2 billion of revenue generated by the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012, revenue increased 5.2%. Operating Cash Flow increased 6.4% to $5.3 billion. Excluding $120 million of operating cash flow generated by the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012 and $74 million of costs in the third quarter of 2013 associated with the termination of a pension plan, operating cash flow increased 10.5% (see Table 5). Operating Income increased 12.0% to $3.4 billion.

 



 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue increased 2.4% to $47.7 billion.  Excluding $259 million of revenue generated by the NFL’s Super Bowl in the first quarter of 2012 and the impact of the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012, revenue increased 5.6%.  Operating cash flow increased 7.4% to $15.8 billion. Excluding the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012 and pension termination costs in the third quarter of 2013, operating cash flow increased 8.8% (see Table 5). Operating income increased 11.6% to $9.9 billion.

 

Earnings per Share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.65, a 16.7% decrease from the $0.78 reported in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding gains of $0.32 per share related to our share of SpectrumCo’s sale of wireless spectrum licenses and NBCUniversal’s interest in A&E Television Networks in the third quarter of 2012, EPS increased 41.3% in the third quarter of 2013. Our third quarter 2013 EPS of $0.65 reflects a non-recurring $0.11 gain related to the sale of our investment in Clearwire, fully offset by other investment losses and pension termination costs (see Table 4).

 

EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.84, a 7.0% increase from the $1.72 reported in the prior year.  Excluding gains on asset sales, investment losses and pension termination costs, EPS increased 29.3% (see Table 4).

 

Capital Expenditures increased 9.1% to $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. Cable Communications’ capital expenditures increased $68 million, or 5.0%, to $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting increased investment on customer premises equipment, such as advanced digital boxes, including X1, and wireless gateways.  Cable capital expenditures represented 13.6% of Cable revenue in the third quarter of 2013, consistent with last year’s third quarter. NBCUniversal’s capital expenditures increased $75 million to $284 million in the third quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting increased investments in Theme Parks.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, capital expenditures increased 13.6% to $4.6 billion compared to the prior year.  Cable Communications capital expenditures increased $222 million, or 6.3%, to $3.8 billion and represented 12.1% of Cable revenue. NBCUniversal’s capital expenditures increased $331 million to $807 million for the first nine months of 2013.

 

Free Cash Flow (excluding any impact from the Economic Stimulus packages) increased 30.0% to $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting growth in consolidated operating cash flow and improvements in working capital, partially offset by higher capital expenditures and taxes. Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 15.5% to $7.1 billion compared to $6.1 billion in 2012.

Note: The definition of Free Cash Flow excludes any impact from Economic Stimulus packages. These amounts have been excluded from Free Cash Flow to provide an appropriate comparison.  “Other” in 2013 is substantially comprised of adjustments for cash taxes paid related to certain nonoperating transactions, cash taxes paid in 2013 related to 2012 taxable income that were reflected as a reduction of 2012 Free Cash Flow and payments associated with the pension termination. NM=comparison not meaningful.

 

Dividends and Share Repurchases. During the third quarter of 2013, Comcast paid dividends totaling $512 million and repurchased 12.0 million of its common shares for $500 million.  In the first nine months of 2013, Comcast has repurchased 37.9 million of its common shares for $1.5 billion.  As of September 30, 2013, Comcast had approximately $2.0 billion available under its share repurchase authorization.

Revenue for Cable Communications increased 5.2% to $10.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $10.0 billion in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting increases of 7.9% in high-speed Internet, 26.4% in business services and 2.9% in video, partially offset by a 10.8% decline in advertising primarily due to lower political advertising revenue. The increase in Cable revenue reflects rate adjustments, customers receiving higher levels of services and customer growth (see below).

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Cable revenue increased 5.8% to $31.2 billion compared to $29.5 billion in 2012.

 

Combined Video, High-Speed Internet and Voice Customers increased by 337,000 in the third quarter of 2013, a 14.9% increase in net additions compared to third quarter 2012, driven by growth in high-speed Internet and voice customers, partially offset by video customer losses. As of September 30, 2013, video, high-speed Internet and voice customers totaled 52.4 million, an increase of 1.6 million or 3.2% over last year’s third quarter.

Revenue for NBCUniversal decreased 14.2% to $5.9 billion in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $6.8 billion in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding $1.2 billion of revenue generated by the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012, revenue increased 3.9%.  Operating Cash Flow increased 9.6% to $1.3 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2012.  Excluding $120 million of operating cash flow generated by the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012, operating cash flow increased 22.4% reflecting improved operating performance in all segments (see Table 5).

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, NBCUniversal revenue decreased 3.4% to $17.2 billion compared to $17.8 billion in 2012.  Excluding $259 million of revenue generated by the broadcast of the NFL’s Super Bowl in the first quarter of 2012 and the impact of the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012, revenue increased 5.1%.  Operating cash flow increased 15.6% to $3.4 billion compared to $2.9 billion in the first nine months of 2012.  Excluding the impact of the Olympics in the third quarter of 2012, operating cash flow increased 20.5% (see Table 5).

 

Cable Networks

 

For the third quarter of 2013, revenue from the Cable Networks segment increased 4.0% to $2.2 billion compared to the third quarter of 2012, reflecting a 5.4% increase in distribution revenue and a 4.6% increase in advertising revenue, partially offset by a 6.5% decline in content licensing and other revenue.  Operating cash flow increased 5.4% to $853 million compared to $809 million in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by higher programming and production costs from our continued investment in original programming and higher sports programming rights costs.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue from the Cable Networks segment increased 5.5% to $6.9 billion compared to $6.5 billion in 2012.  Operating cash flow increased 6.8% to $2.6 billion compared to $2.4 billion in the first nine months of 2012.

Filmed Entertainment

 

For the third quarter of 2013, revenue from the Filmed Entertainment segment increased 3.3% to $1.4 billion compared to the third quarter of 2012, driven by higher theatrical revenue from the strong box office performance of Despicable Me 2, partially offset by a decrease in home entertainment revenue due to lower volume of new releases compared to last year. Operating cash flow increased $117 million to $189 million compared to $72 million in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting the strong performance of the film slate.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue from the Filmed Entertainment segment increased 6.0% to $4.0 billion compared to $3.8 billion in 2012.  Operating cash flow increased $296 million to $291 million compared to a loss of $5 million in the first nine months of 2012.

 

Theme Parks

 

For the third quarter of 2013, revenue from the Theme Parks segment increased 7.9% to $661 million compared to $614 million in the third quarter of 2012, driven by higher per capita spending at the Orlando and Hollywood theme parks and higher guest attendance at our Orlando park following the launch of the Transformers attraction. Third quarter operating cash flow increased 8.6% to $343 million compared to $316 million in the third quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by increased operating costs to support new attractions.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue from the Theme Parks segment increased 6.7% to $1.7 billion compared to $1.6 billion in 2012.  Operating cash flow increased 5.6% to $747 million compared to $708 million in the first nine months of 2012.

 

Headquarters, Other and Eliminations

 

NBCUniversal Headquarters, Other and Eliminations include overhead and eliminations among the NBCUniversal businesses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, NBCUniversal Headquarters, Other and Eliminations operating cash flow loss was $169 million compared to a loss of $145 million in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting higher employee costs.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, NBCUniversal Headquarters, Other and Eliminations operating cash flow loss was $421 million compared to a loss of $444 million in 2012.

 

 

Corporate, Other and Eliminations

 

Corporate, Other and Eliminations include corporate operations, Comcast-Spectacor and eliminations among Comcast’s businesses. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, Corporate, Other and Eliminations revenue was ($191) million compared to ($254) million in 2012. The operating cash flow loss was $166 million, including $74 million of costs associated with the termination of a pension plan, and compared to a loss of $130 million in the third quarter of 2012.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Corporate, Other and Eliminations revenue was ($630) million compared to ($637) million in 2012.  The operating cash flow loss was $405 million, including $74 million of costs associated with the termination of a pension plan, compared to a loss of $289 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Notes:

 

1     We define Operating Cash Flow as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of assets, if any.

 

2     Earnings per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.

 

3     We define Free Cash Flow as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (as stated in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures, cash paid for intangible assets and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests; and adjusted for any payments and receipts related to certain nonoperating items, net of estimated tax benefits.

 

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

Exhibit 99.2

 

Exhibit 99.2 – Explanation of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

 

This Exhibit 99.2 to the accompanying Current Report on Form 8-K for Comcast Corporation (“Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) sets forth the reasons we believe that presentation of financial measures not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) contained in the earnings press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations.  To the extent material, this Exhibit also discloses the additional purposes, if any, for which our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures.  A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the earnings press release itself.

 

Operating Cash Flow is the primary basis used to measure the operational strength and performance of our businesses. Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow are additional performance measures used as indicators of our ability to service and repay debt, make investments and return capital to investors, through stock repurchases and dividends.  We also adjust certain historical data on a pro forma basis following certain acquisitions or dispositions to enhance comparability.

 

Operating Cash Flow is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on sale of assets, if any. This measure eliminates the significant level of non-cash 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 structure or investment activities. 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.  We believe that Operating Cash Flow is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with other companies in our industries, although our measure of Operating Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

 

Because we use Operating Cash Flow to measure our segment profit or loss, we reconcile it to operating income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, in the business segment footnote to our quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements.  Therefore, we believe our measure of Operating Cash Flow for our segments is not a “non-GAAP financial measure” as contemplated by Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Consolidated Operating Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure.

 

Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as “Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities” (as stated in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures, cash paid for intangible assets and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests; and adjusted for any payments and receipts related to certain nonoperating items, net of estimated tax benefits (such as income taxes on investment sales and nonrecurring payments related to income tax and litigation contingencies of acquired companies).  Unlevered Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow before cash paid interest.  We believe that Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow are also useful to investors as the basis for comparing our performance and coverage ratios with other companies in our industries, although our measure of Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

 

Pro forma data is used by management to evaluate performance when certain acquisitions or dispositions occur.  Historical data reflects results of acquired businesses only after the acquisition dates while pro forma data enhances comparability of financial information between periods by adjusting the data as if the acquisitions or dispositions occurred at the beginning of the preceding year.  Our pro forma data is adjusted for the timing of acquisitions or dispositions, the effects of acquisition accounting, eliminating the costs and expenses directly related to the transaction, but does not include adjustments for costs related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved by the combined businesses. We do not believe our pro forma data is a non-GAAP financial measure as contemplated by Regulation G.

 

In certain circumstances we also present “adjusted” data, to exclude certain gains, losses or other charges, net of tax (such as from the sales of investments or dispositions of businesses).  This “adjusted” data is a non-GAAP financial measure.  We believe, among other things, that the “adjusted” data may help investors evaluate our ongoing operations and can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons.

 



 

Exhibit 99.2 – Explanation of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures, cont’d

 

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Comcast Corporation, net cash provided by operating activities or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.

 

Additionally, in the opinion of management, our pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of future results or what our results would have been had the acquired businesses been operated by us after the assumed earlier date.

 

In Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K we provide reconciliations of Free Cash Flow in Table 4, Consolidated Operating Cash Flow in Table 1 and “adjusted” data in Tables 4 and 5.
