•As of March 31, 2026, customer relationships totaled 31.7 million and connectivity customers totaled 30.5 million.

First quarter total Internet customers decreased by 120,000, compared to a decline of 59,000 during the first quarter of 2025. Spectrum Internet delivers the fastest Internet speeds1 in the nation. Spectrum is evolving its connectivity network to offer symmetrical and multi-gigabit Internet speeds across its entire footprint and has launched symmetrical Internet service in several markets. Spectrum expects to complete its network evolution initiative in 2027. Spectrum Advanced WiFi provides customers an optimized home network while providing greater control of connected devices with enhanced security and privacy. In February, Spectrum launched its Invincible WiFiTM product, a tri-band advanced WiFi 7 router that integrates 5G cellular and battery backup to keep customers seamlessly and fully connected during a power outage or network disruption. In the first quarter, Spectrum launched its $1,000 savings guarantee; customers signing up to Spectrum Internet and switching two or more mobile lines from Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile are now guaranteed $1,000 of savings in their first year, or Spectrum will cover the difference.

During the first quarter of 2026, Charter added 368,000 total mobile lines, compared to growth of 507,000 during the first quarter of 2025. Spectrum Mobile offers the fastest overall speeds,2 with plans that include 5G access, do not require contracts and include taxes and fees in the price. Spectrum Mobile is central to Charter's converged network strategy to provide customers a differentiated connectivity experience with highly competitive, simple data plans and pricing.

Total video customers decreased by 60,000 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a decline of 181,000 in the first quarter of 2025, with the improvement driven by simplified pricing and packaging and benefits from the inclusion of programmers' streaming applications in Spectrum's expanded basic video packages. As of March 31, 2026, Charter had 12.5 million total video customers.

Spectrum TV Select video customers now receive up to approximately $120 per month (soon to be approximately $126 per month) of programmers' streaming application retail value at no extra cost, including the ad-supported versions of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, AMC+, ViX, Tennis Channel and Fox One, with Discovery+ launching soon. In October 2025, Spectrum unveiled the Spectrum App Store, an innovative digital marketplace where Spectrum TV customers can activate, manage and upgrade the streaming apps included with their video plans. The Spectrum App Store also allows Spectrum customers without a traditional TV package to purchase and manage streaming apps à la carte.

During the first quarter of 2026, total wireline voice customers declined by 174,000, compared to a decline of 278,000 in the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2026, Charter had 5.9 million total wireline voice customers.

Charter continues to work with federal, state and local governments to bring Spectrum Internet to unserved and underserved communities. During the first quarter of 2026, Charter activated 89,000 subsidized rural passings. Within Charter's subsidized rural footprint, total customer relationships increased by 41,000 in the first quarter of 2026.

Revenues

First quarter revenue decreased by 1.0% year-over-year to $13.6 billion, driven by lower residential video revenue partly due to costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue and lower residential Internet revenue, partly offset by an increase in residential mobile service revenue and higher mobile device revenue. Excluding advertising sales revenue and costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, first quarter total revenue grew by 0.1% year-over-year.

Residential revenue totaled $10.5 billion in the first quarter, a decrease of 2.7% year-over-year, driven by a year-over-year decline in residential customers of 1.5% and a decrease in monthly residential revenue per residential customer of 1.4%.

First quarter 2026 monthly residential revenue per residential customer totaled $118.44, a decrease of 1.4% compared to the prior year period. The decline was driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base, $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups, rate adjustments and the growth of Spectrum Mobile. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, monthly residential revenue per residential customer increased 0.3% compared to the prior year period.

4

Internet revenue declined 1.3% year-over-year to $5.9 billion, driven by a decline in Internet customers year-over year, partly offset by a favorable change in bundled revenue allocation year-over-year, promotional rate step-ups and rate adjustments.

First quarter mobile service revenue totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of 15.1% year-over-year, driven by mobile line growth and rate adjustments, partly offset by less favorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year.

Video revenue totaled $3.3 billion in the first quarter, a decrease of 9.2% compared to the prior year period, driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter's video customer base, $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period, more unfavorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups and video rate adjustments that pass through programmer rate increases.

Voice revenue decreased by 5.0% year-over-year to $338 million, driven by a decline in wireline voice customers, partly offset by voice rate adjustments.

Commercial revenue increased by 1.0% year-over-year to $1.8 billion, driven by mid-market and large business revenue growth of 2.1% year-over-year and an increase in small business revenue of 0.2%. Mid-market and large business revenue excluding wholesale increased by 2.8% year-over-year, mostly reflecting PSU growth. The year-over-year increase in first quarter 2026 small business revenue was driven by a 0.9% increase year-over-year in monthly small business revenue per small business customer, mostly offset by a decline in small business customer relationships year-over-year.

First quarter advertising sales revenue of $358 million increased by 5.3% compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher political revenue. Excluding political revenue in both periods, advertising sales revenue decreased by 3.4% year-over-year driven by lower linear advertising revenue, partly offset by higher streaming advertising revenue.

Other revenue totaled $906 million in the first quarter, an increase of 14.2% compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales.

Operating Costs and Expenses

First quarter total operating costs and expenses declined 0.2% year-over-year to $8.0 billion driven by lower programming costs, mostly offset by higher other costs of revenue.

First quarter programming costs decreased by $214 million, or 9.3% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period, a higher mix of lower cost packages within Charter's video customer base and fewer video customers, partly offset by contractual programming rate increases and renewals.

Other costs of revenue increased by $181 million, or 11.4% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher mobile service direct costs, higher mobile device sales and higher advertising sales costs given higher political revenue.

Field and technology operations expenses decreased by $24 million, or 1.8% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower labor expense.

Customer operations expenses decreased by $6 million, or 0.8% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense.

5

Marketing and residential sales expenses decreased by $30 million or 3.2% year-over-year, due to lower marketing and labor expenses.

Transition expenses represent incremental costs incurred to prepare for the integration of the previously announced Cox transaction.

Other expenses increased by $57 million, or 5.3% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to one-time benefits of $75 million in the prior year period.

Net Income Attributable to Charter Shareholders

Net income attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, with lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher depreciation and amortization, partly offset by a decrease in other operating expenses due to a non-strategic asset impairment charge in the first quarter of 2025.

Net income per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $9.27 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $8.59 during the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of a 11.4% decrease in basic weighted average common shares outstanding versus the prior year period, partly offset by the factors described above.

Adjusted EBITDA

First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5.6 billion declined by 2.2% year-over-year, reflecting a decline in revenue of 1.0%, partly offset by a decrease in operating costs and expenses of 0.2%. Excluding transition expenses, Adjusted EBITDA declined 1.8% year-over-year.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $456 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 given timing of spend, with higher upgrade/rebuild (primarily network evolution) and CPE, partly offset by lower line extension spend.

Charter continues to expect full year 2026 capital expenditures, excluding impacts from the previously announced Cox transaction, to total approximately $11.4 billion. The actual amount of capital expenditures in 2026 will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of Charter's network evolution and expansion initiatives, supply chain timing and growth rates in Charter's residential and commercial businesses.

Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow

During the first quarter of 2026, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $4.3 billion, an increase from $4.2 billion in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a less unfavorable change in working capital, partly offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher cash paid for interest.

Free cash flow in the first quarter of 2026 totaled $1.4 billion, a decrease of $192 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease in free cash flow was driven by higher capital expenditures, partly offset by a less unfavorable change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures and higher net cash flows from operating activities.

6

Liquidity & Financing

As of March 31, 2026, total principal amount of debt was $94.3 billion and Charter's credit facilities provided approximately $4.6 billion of additional liquidity in excess of Charter's $517 million cash position.

In January 2026, CCO Holdings, LLC ("CCO Holdings") and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due February 2033 at par and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due February 2036 at par. In February 2026, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. redeemed $750 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.500% senior notes due 2026 and $2.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.125% senior notes due 2027.

Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income attributable to Charter shareholders 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 net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the Addendum to this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income (expenses), net and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as special charges, merger and acquisition costs 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 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 $366 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

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 exclude mid-market & large business customer relationships.

(f)Penetration represents residential and small business customers as a percentage of estimated passings.

(g)Monthly residential revenue per residential customer is calculated as total residential quarterly revenue divided by three divided by average residential customer relationships during the respective quarter.
