(a)
|
|
|
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 benefited from
two additional months of Insight Communications Company, Inc.
revenue, which is discussed further in Note 2 to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Residential services revenue
Residential services revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase
in high-speed data revenue, partially offset by declines in video and
voice revenue.
-
The growth in residential high-speed data revenue was the result of an
increase in average revenue per subscriber, primarily due to an
increase in equipment rental charges and a greater percentage of
subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service, as well as
year-over-year growth in the number of high-speed data subscribers.
-
Residential video revenue decreased driven by declines in video
subscribers and premium network revenue (which was reduced by
approximately $15 million of subscriber credits issued in connection
with a temporary blackout of Showtime resulting from a dispute with
CBS), partially offset by price increases and a greater percentage of
subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service.
-
Residential voice revenue decreased due to a decline in average
revenue per subscriber and fewer voice subscribers.
Business services revenue
Business services revenue growth was primarily due to increases in the
number of high-speed data and voice subscribers and growth in cell tower
backhaul and Metro Ethernet revenue.
Advertising revenue
Advertising revenue decreased primarily due to declines in political
advertising revenue.
Other revenue
Other revenue increased primarily as a result of fees from distributors
of the Company’s two Los Angeles regional sports networks, which were
launched on October 1, 2012.
Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization
(“Adjusted OIBDA”) for the third quarter of 2013 increased 3.0% from
the third quarter of 2012 to $2.0 billion. The increase was driven by
revenue growth, partially offset by a 2.8% increase in operating
expenses.
Operating expenses grew primarily due to higher employee costs, video
programming expenses and marketing expenses, as well as costs associated
with advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors,
partially offset by a decrease in voice costs.
-
Employee costs were up 6.9% to $1.2 billion primarily due to an
increase in headcount (primarily related to business services) and
higher compensation costs per employee. Employee medical costs
increased $8 million.
-
Video programming expenses grew 2.8% to $1.2 billion due to an
increase in average monthly video programming costs per video
subscriber, offset in part by a decline in video subscribers. Average
monthly video programming costs per video subscriber increased 8.4%
year over year to $34.10 for the third quarter of 2013, primarily
driven by contractual rate increases and the carriage of new networks.
For the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, video programming costs were
reduced by approximately $10 million and $5 million, respectively, due
to changes in cost estimates for programming services primarily
resulting from contract negotiations, changes in programming audit
reserves and certain contract settlements.
-
Marketing expense increased 6.7% to $176 million and included the
impact of increased spending due to the temporary blackouts resulting
from the CBS and Journal Communications disputes.
-
Voice costs were down 9.9% to $136 million, primarily due to a
decrease in delivery costs per subscriber related to the in-sourcing
of voice transport, switching and interconnection services, as well as
a decline in voice subscribers.
Operating Income for the third quarter of 2013 increased 6.0%
from the third quarter of 2012 to $1.2 billion driven by higher Adjusted
OIBDA.

Adjusted OIBDA margin is defined as Adjusted OIBDA as a percentage
of total revenue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adjusted OIBDA less Capital Expenditures for the first nine
months of 2013 totaled $3.6 billion, a 1.5% decrease over the first nine
months of 2012, due to higher capital expenditures (primarily driven by
growth in scalable infrastructure and business services line
extensions), partially offset by higher Adjusted OIBDA. Capital
Expenditures were $2.4 billion for the first nine months of 2013.

Net Income Attributable to TWC Shareholders was $532 million, or
$1.86 per basic common share and $1.84 per diluted common share, for the
third quarter of 2013 compared to $808 million, or $2.64 per basic
common share and $2.60 per diluted common share, for the third quarter
of 2012.
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to TWC Shareholders and Adjusted
Diluted EPS, which exclude the 2012 SpectrumCo and Clearwire
investment-related gains and certain other items affecting the
comparability of TWC’s results for 2013 and 2012 detailed in Note 1 to
the accompanying consolidated financial statements, were $489 million
and $1.69, respectively, for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $438
million and $1.41, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012. These
increases were primarily due to higher Operating Income and lower
interest expense, net, partially offset by a higher income tax
provision. Adjusted Diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2013 also
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 nine months of 2013 decreased 6.7%
to $1.8 billion from $2.0 billion in the first nine months of 2012, due
mainly to an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset by
higher cash provided by operating activities. Cash Provided by
Operating Activities for the first nine months of 2013 was $4.2
billion, a 0.9% increase from the first nine months of 2012. This
increase was driven by higher Adjusted OIBDA and lower pension plan
contributions, partially offset by an increase in net income tax
payments and a change in working capital requirements.

Net Debt and Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Equity, which totaled
$23.9 billion as of September 30, 2013, increased from December 31,
2012, as cash used for share repurchases and dividend payments exceeded
Free Cash Flow and the decrease in the fair value of debt subject to
interest rate swaps.

3. 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 TWC’s separation from Time Warner on
March 12, 2009 (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 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 (i) considerable amounts of noncash
depreciation and amortization and (ii) items not within the control of
the Company’s operations managers (such as 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 revenue. 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 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.
