Risk Factors

Customer Base Erosion Continues Total customer relationships fell to 31,058K as of September 30, 2025, reflecting ongoing subscriber losses across core services.
Video Subscriber Losses Mount Residential video customers decreased by 414,000 year-over-year, driven by rate mix changes and seamless entertainment adoption.
Cox Transaction Integration Risk Integrating Cox Communications involves substantial complexity, high capital expenditure, and potential delays impacting expected benefits.
Significant Debt Obligations Total debt stands at $95.0B principal amount; leverage ratio is 4.2x Adjusted EBITDA, requiring future debt management.

Outlook

Focus on Cox Transaction Closing Charter expects to fund $4.0B cash consideration and assume $12.4B debt/leases upon successful completion of the Cox Transactions.
High Capital Expenditure Forecast Full year 2025 capital expenditures are currently expected to total approximately $11.5B for network evolution and expansion.
Adjusted Leverage Target Set Long-term leverage target adjusting to 3.5 to 4.0 times Adjusted EBITDA post-Closing, maintaining significant debt levels.
Favorable Tax Legislation Impact New OBBBA legislation reduced cash paid for taxes in 2025, resulting in a $402M decrease in cash paid for taxes, net.
