Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are subject to review by regulatory authorities. However, in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

price of 94.668% of the aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds were used to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, including distributions to the Company's parent companies to fund buybacks of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units as well as repaying certain indebtedness, including $750 million of CCO Holdings' 5.750% notes due February 2026.

In June 2021, Charter Operating and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. issued an additional $1.4 billion of 3.900% senior secured notes due June 2052 priced at 95.578% of the aggregate principal amount and $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.400% senior secured notes due December 2061 at a price of 99.906% of the aggregate principal amount. Net proceeds were used to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, including distributions to the Company's parent companies to fund buybacks of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units as well as repaying certain indebtedness, including $500 million of CCO Holdings' 5.750% notes due February 2026, all of CCO Holdings' 5.875% notes due May 2027, and in July 2021, $1.0 billion of Time Warner Cable, LLC's 4.000% notes due September 2021.

The Charter Operating notes are guaranteed by CCO Holdings and substantially all of the subsidiaries of Charter Operating. In addition, the Charter Operating notes are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Charter Operating and substantially all of its subsidiaries to the extent such liens can be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code by the filing of a financing statement and the liens rank equally with the liens on the collateral securing obligations under the Charter Operating credit facilities. Charter Operating may redeem some or all of the Charter Operating notes at any time at a premium.

The Charter Operating notes are subject to the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the Charter Operating notes. The Charter Operating notes contain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants with limited negative covenants. The Charter Operating indenture also contains customary events of default.

In April 2021, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.0 billion of 4.500% senior unsecured notes due June 2033 at par, and in June 2021, an additional $750 million of the same series of notes was issued at a price of 99.250% of the aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including distributions to the Company's parent companies to fund potential buybacks of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units, to repay certain indebtedness and to pay related fees and expenses.

The CCO Holdings notes are senior debt obligations of CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. and rank equally with all other current and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. They are structurally subordinated to all obligations of subsidiaries of CCO Holdings.

CCO Holdings may redeem some or all of the notes at any time at a premium. Beginning in 2030, the optional redemption price declines to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

In addition, at any time prior to 2024, CCO Holdings may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings (as defined in the indenture); provided that certain conditions are met. In the event of specified change of control events, CCO Holdings must offer to purchase the outstanding notes from the holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the total principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

~~8. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities~~

~~The Company uses derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange risk on the Sterling Notes, and does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.~~

Cross-currency derivative instruments are used to effectively convert £1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate British pound sterling denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. The cross-currency swaps have maturities of June 2031 and July 2042. The Company is required to post collateral on the cross-currency derivative instruments when the derivative contracts are in a liability position. In April 2019, the Company entered into a collateral holiday agreement for 60% of both the 2031 and 2042 cross-currency swaps, which eliminates the requirement to post collateral for three years, as well as a ten year collateral cap on the remaining 40% of the cross-currency swaps which limits the required collateral posting on that 40% of the cross-currency swaps to $150 million. In March 2021, the collateral holiday for 20% of the swaps was extended to November 2022 in consideration for the Company's agreement to post collateral over a threshold amount on that 20% portion of the swaps from March 2021 through October 2021. The fair value of the Company's cross-currency derivatives was $206 million and $184 million and is included in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company’s derivative instruments are not designated as hedges and are marked to fair value each period, with the impact recorded as a gain or loss on financial instruments in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expenses), net. While these derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, management continues to believe such instruments are closely correlated with the respective debt, thus managing associated risk.

~~The effect of financial instruments are recorded in other income (expenses), net in the consolidated statements of operations and consisted of the following.~~

~~9. Fair Value Measurements~~

~~Accounting guidanceestablishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements, based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, as follows:~~

•~~Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.~~

•Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•~~Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.~~

~~Financial Assets and Liabilities~~

The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment, however, is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange.

~~The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.~~

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets includes approximately $363 million and $338 million of current equipment installment plan receivables, respectively, and other noncurrent assets includes approximately $173 million and $134 million of noncurrent equipment installment plan receivables, respectively.

Financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy include the Company's cross-currency derivative instruments which are recorded in other-long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and were valued at $206 million and $184 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured and secured notes and debentures as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 is based on quoted market prices in active markets and is classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy, while the estimated fair value of the Company’s credit facilities is based on quoted market prices in inactive markets and is classified within Level 2.

In January 2022, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.2 billion of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due February 2032 at par. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including distributions to the Company's parent companies to fund buybacks of Charter Class A ~~summary~~common stock and Charter Holdings common units, to repay certain indebtedness and to pay related fees and expenses.

In March 2022, Charter Operating and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.400% senior secured notes due April 2033 at a price of 99.634% of the ~~carrying value~~aggregate principal amount, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior secured notes due April 2053 at a price of 99.300% of the aggregate principal amount and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior secured notes due April 2063 at a price of 99.255% of the aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including distributions

~~15. Income Taxes~~

CCO Holdings is a single member limited liability company not subject to income tax. CCO Holdings holds all operations through indirect subsidiaries. The majority of these indirect subsidiaries are limited liability companies that are not subject to income tax.Charter has elected the accounting policy not to allocate income taxes to its subsidiaries that are not subject to income tax. Certain indirect subsidiaries that are required to file separate returns are subject to federal and state tax. CCO Holdings’ tax provision reflects the tax provision of the entities required to file separate returns.

Generally, the taxable income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of CCO Holdings are passed through to its indirect members, Charter and Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“A/N”). Charter is responsible for its share of taxable income or loss of CCO Holdings allocated to it in accordance with the Charter Holdings Limited Liability Company Agreement and partnership tax rules and regulations. Charter also records financial statement deferred tax assets and liabilities related to its investment, and its underlying net assets, in CCO Holdings. The Company recorded income tax expense of $11 million and $21 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $7 million and $13 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

In determining the Company’s tax provision for financial reporting purposes, the Company establishes a reserve for uncertain tax positions unless such positions are determined to be “more likely than not” of being sustained upon examination, based on their technical merits. There is considerable judgment involved in making such a determination. The Company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits totaling approximately $102 million, excluding interest and penalties, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not currently anticipate that its reserve for uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease during 2021; however, various events could cause the Company’s current expectations to change in the future. These uncertain tax positions, if ever recognized in the financial statements, would be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as part of the income tax provision.

No tax years for Charter are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for income tax purposes. Charter's 2016 through 2020 tax years remain open for examination and assessment. Charter’s short period return dated May 17, 2016 (prior to the merger with Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC") and acquisition of Bright House Networks, LLC ("Bright House")) and prior years remain open solely for purposes of examination of Charter’s loss and credit carryforwards. The IRS is currently examining Charter Holdings’ income tax return for 2016. Charter Holdings’ 2017 through 2020 tax years remain open for examination and assessment. The IRS is currently examining TWC’s income tax returns for 2011 through 2014. TWC’s tax year 2015 remains subject to examination and assessment. Prior to TWC’s separation from Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”) in March 2009, TWC was included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Time Warner. The IRS has examined Time Warner’s 2008 through 2010 income tax returns and the results are under appeal. The Company does not anticipate that these examinations will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. In addition, the Company is also subject to ongoing examinations of the Company’s tax returns by state and local tax authorities for various periods. Activity related to these state and local examinations did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, nor does the Company anticipate a material impact in the future.

~~17.~~ ~~Related Party Transactions~~

~~The following sets forth certain transactions in which the Company and the directors, executive officers, and affiliates of the Company or its parent companies are involved.~~

~~Liberty Broadband and A/N~~

Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the number of Charter’s directors is fixed at 13, and includes its CEO. Two designees selected by A/N are members of the board of directors of Charter and three designees selected by Liberty Broadband Corporation ("Liberty Broadband") are members of the board of directors of Charter. The remaining eight directors are not affiliated with either A/N or Liberty Broadband. Each of A/N and Liberty Broadband is entitled to nominate at least one director to each of the committees of Charter’s board of directors, subject to applicable stock exchange listing rules and certain specified voting or equity ownership thresholds for each of A/N and Liberty Broadband, and provided that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation and Benefit Committee each have at least a majority of directors independent from A/N, Liberty Broadband and Charter (referred to as the “unaffiliated directors”). Each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation and Benefits Committee is currently comprised of three unaffiliated directors and one designee of each of A/N and Liberty Broadband. A/N and Liberty Broadband also have certain other committee designations and other governance rights. Mr. Thomas Rutledge, the Company’s CEO, is the chairman of the board of Charter.

In December 2016, Charter and A/N entered into a letter agreement, as amended in December 2017 (the “A/N Letter Agreement”), that requires A/N to sell to Charter or to Charter Holdings, on a monthly basis, a number of shares of Charter Class A common stock or Charter Holdings common units that represents a pro rata participation by A/N and its affiliates in any repurchases of shares of Charter Class A common stock from persons other than A/N effected by Charter during the immediately preceding calendar month, at a purchase price equal to the average price paid by Charter for the shares repurchased from persons other than A/N during such immediately preceding calendar month. A/N and Charter both have the right to terminate or suspend the pro rata repurchase arrangement on a prospective basis.

In February 2021, Charter and Liberty Broadband entered into a letter agreement (the “LBB Letter Agreement”). The LBB Letter Agreement implements Liberty Broadband’s obligations under the Stockholders Agreement to participate in share repurchases by Charter. Under the LBB Letter Agreement, Liberty Broadband will sell to Charter, generally on a monthly basis, a number of shares of Charter Class A common stock representing an amount sufficient for Liberty Broadband’s ownership of Charter to be reduced such that it does not exceed the ownership cap then applicable to Liberty Broadband under the Stockholders Agreement at a purchase price per share equal to the volume weighted average price per share paid by Charter for shares repurchased during such immediately preceding calendar month other than (i) purchases from A/N, (ii) purchases in privately negotiated transactions or (iii) purchases for the withholding of shares of Charter Class A common stock pursuant to equity compensation programs of Charter.

Gregory Maffei, a director of Charter and President and CEO and director and holder of 12.6% voting interest in Liberty Broadband, is Chairman of the board of directors of Qurate Retail, Inc. ("Qurate") and Dr. John Malone, a director emeritus of Charter and Chairman of the board of directors and holder of 45.8% of voting interest in Liberty Broadband, also serves on the Qurate board of directors. As reported in SEC filings of Qurate, Mr. Maffei and Dr. Malone, Mr. Maffei has ownership of an approximate 6.3% voting interest in Quarate and Dr. Malone has ownership of an approximate 41.2% voting interest in Qurate. Qurate wholly owns HSN, Inc. (“HSN”) and QVC, Inc. (“QVC”). The Company has programming relationships with HSN and QVC. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded revenue in aggregate of approximately $12 million and $23 million, respectively, from HSN and QVC as part of channel carriage fees and revenue sharing arrangements for home shopping sales made to customers in the Company’s footprint, and approximately $12 million and $24 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Dr. Malone and Mr. Steven Miron, a member of Charter’s board of directors, also serve on the board of directors of Discovery, Inc. (“Discovery”). As reported in Discovery's SEC filings, Dr. Malone owns less than 1.0% of the series A common stock, 95.0% of the series B common stock and 3.7% of the series C common stock of Discovery and has a 26.5% voting interest in Discovery for the election of directors. As reported in Discovery's SEC filings, Advance/Newhouse Programming Partnership (“A/N PP”), an affiliate of A/N and in which Mr. Miron is the CEO, owns 100% of the Series A-1 preferred stock of Discovery and 100% of the Series C-1 preferred stock of Discovery and has a 23.2% voting interest for matters other than the election of

directors. A/N PP also has the right to appoint three directors out of a total of twelve directors to Discovery’s board. The Company purchases programming from Discovery. Based on publicly available information, the Company does not believe that Discovery would currently be considered a related party. The amount paid in the aggregate to Discovery represents less than 2% of total operating costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

~~Equity Investments~~

The Company and its parent companies have agreements with certain equity investees pursuant to which the Company has made or received related party transaction payments. The Company and its parent companies recorded payments to equity investees totaling $59 million and $117 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $54 million and $117 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

~~18.~~11. Contingencies

In August 2015, a purported stockholder of Charter, Matthew Sciabacucchi, filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, on behalf of a putative class of Charter stockholders, challenging the transactions involving Charter, TWC, A/N, and Liberty Broadband announced by Charter on May 26, 2015. The lawsuit, which named as defendants Charter and its board of directors, alleged that the transactions resulted from breaches of fiduciary duty by Charter’s directors and that Liberty Broadband improperly benefited from the challenged transactions at the expense of other Charter stockholders. Charter denies any liability, believes that it has substantial defenses, and is vigorously defending this lawsuit. Although Charter is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit, it does not expect the outcome will have a material effect on its operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The California Attorney General and the Alameda County, California District Attorney are investigating whether certain of Charter’s waste disposal policies, procedures and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. That investigation was commenced in January 2014. A similar investigation involving TWC was initiated in February 2012. Charter is cooperating with these investigations. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these investigations, it does not expect that the outcome will have a material effect on its operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Sprint filed a patent suit against Charter and Bright House Networks, LLC ("Bright House") on December 2, 2017 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. This suit alleges infringement of 9 patents related to the Company's provision of Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services. Sprint previously sued TWC with respect to eight of these patents and obtained a final judgment of $151 million inclusive of interest and costs, which the Company paid in November 2019. The Company ~~has also~~ brought a patent suit against Sprint (TC Tech, LLC v. Sprint) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware implicating Sprint's LTE technology and a similar suit against T-Mobile in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.

Sprint filed a subsequent patent suit against Charter on May 17, 2018 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. This suit alleges infringement of two patents related to the Company's video on demand services. The court transferred this case to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on December 20, 2018 pursuant to an agreement between the parties.

2018. On February 18, 2020, Sprint filed a lawsuit against Charter, Bright House and ~~TWC. Sprint alleges~~Time Warner Cable Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas alleging that Charter misappropriated trade secrets from Sprint years ago through employees hired by Bright House. ~~Sprint asserts that the alleged trade secrets relate to the VoIP business of Charter, TWC and Bright House. The case is now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas.~~

Charter, T-Mobile and Sprint have ~~tentatively~~ reached a settlement of all of the foregoing suits that ~~would result~~resulted in a payment of $220 million in 2022 by Charter to ~~T-Mobile. The Company can give no assurance that this tentative settlement will be finalized. Pending finalization~~T-Mobile, and all of the settlement and in the event the settlement is not finalized, the Company will vigorously defend these Sprint suits and prosecute the suits it has brought against T-Mobile and Sprint. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, it does not expect that the litigation willcases have ~~a material effect on its operations, financial condition, or cash flows.~~been dismissed with prejudice.

~~(dollars in millions, except where indicated)~~

~~In addition to the Sprint litigation described above, the~~The Company and its parent companies are defendants or co-defendants in several ~~additional~~ lawsuits involving alleged infringement of various intellectual property relating to various aspects of their businesses. Other industry participants are also defendants in certain of these cases or related cases. In the event that a court ultimately determines that the Company infringes on any intellectual property, the Company may be subject to substantial damages and/or an injunction that could require the Company or its vendors to modify certain products and services the Company offers to its subscribers, as well as negotiate royalty or license agreements with respect to the intellectual property at issue. While the Company believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously, no assurance can be given that any adverse outcome would not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any such claims nor can it reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

The Company and its parent companies are party to other lawsuits, claims and regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of conducting their business. The ultimate outcome of these other legal matters pending against the Company cannot be predicted, and although such lawsuits and claims are not expected individually to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, such lawsuits could have, in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Whether or not the Company ultimately prevails in any particular lawsuit or claim, litigation can be time consuming and costly and injure the Company’s reputation.

~~19.~~ ~~Employee Benefit Plans~~

~~The Company sponsors qualified defined and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans that provide pension benefits to a majority of employees who were employed by TWC before the merger with TWC.~~

Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees’ years of service and compensation during their employment period. Actuarial gains or losses are changes in the amount of either the benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets resulting from experience different from that assumed or from changes in assumptions. The Company has elected to follow a mark-to-market pension accounting policy for recording the actuarial gains or losses annually during the fourth quarter, or earlier if a remeasurement event occurs during an interim period. No future compensation increases or future service will be credited to participants of the pension plans given the frozen nature of the plans.

The components of net periodic pension benefit (costs) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are recorded in in other income (expenses), net in the consolidated statements of operations and consisted of the following:

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Interest cost $ (24) $ (28) $ (48) $ (56)
Expected return on plan assets 42 39 84 77
Remeasurement gain, net 155 0 155 0
Net periodic pension benefits $ 173 $ 11 $ 191 $ 21

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, settlements for lump-sum distributions to pension plan participants exceeded the estimated annual interest cost of the plans. As a result, the pension liability and pension asset values were reassessed as of June 30, 2021 utilizing remeasurement date assumptions in accordance with the Company's mark-to-market pension accounting policy to record gains and losses in the period in which a remeasurement event occurs. The $155 million remeasurement gain recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by changes in the discount rate.

The Company made no cash contributions to the qualified pension plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020; however, the Company may make discretionary cash contributions to the qualified pension plans in the future. Such contributions will be dependent on a variety of factors, including current and expected interest rates, asset performance, the funded status of the qualified pension plans and management’s judgment. For the nonqualified unfunded pension plan, the Company will continue to make contributions during 2021 to the extent benefits are paid.

Overview

In the first half of both 2021 and 2020, the Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has significantly impacted how our customers use our products and services, how they interact with us, and how our employees work and provide services to our customers. During the first half of 2021, customer activity levels remained below normal which contributed to lower operating expense from reduced service transactions and significantly lower bad debt, however, those trends are slowly returning to pre-COVID-19 levels and we expect that to continue throughout 2021 as the economy reopens and normal activities resume.

In May 2021, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") introduced the Emergency Broadband Benefit ("EBB") program to help households pay for Internet service. The EBB program provides eligible low-income households with up to $50 per month toward Internet service. We estimate that the EBB program favorably impacted our net increase in customer relationships by approximately 60,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Additional new and existing customers also enrolled in the EBB program.

~~Although the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be predicted,~~2022, we remain focused on driving customer relationship ~~growth by deploying superior products~~growth. We continue to see lower customer move rates and ~~services packaged with attractive pricing. Further,~~switching behavior among providers, which has reduced our selling opportunities. Our rural construction initiative is underway which we expect to ~~continue to drive customer relationship growth through sales of bundled services~~expand our footprint by approximately 1 million homes and ~~improving customer retention despite~~businesses over the ~~expectation for continued losses of video and wireline voice customers.~~

~~Our Spectrum Mobile service is offered to customers subscribing to our Internet service and runs on Verizon Communications Inc.'s ("Verizon") mobile network combined with Spectrum WiFi.~~next six years. We continue to ~~explore ways~~evolve our network to ~~drive even more~~provide increased Internet speeds and reliability with a minimum speed of 200 megabits per second now offered to new customers in 100% of our footprint with continued investment in our products and customer service platforms. We continue to invest in our ability to provide a differentiated Internet connectivity experience for our mobile ~~traffic~~and fixed Internet customers with the availability of Advanced Home WiFi and over 500,000 out of home WiFi access points across our footprint. In addition, we continue to work towards the construction of our ~~network. We intend to use~~own 5G mobile data-only network leveraging the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (“CBRS”) Priority Access Licenses (“PALs”) we purchased in ~~2020, along with unlicensed CBRS spectrum~~2020. By continually improving our product set and offering consumers the opportunity to ~~build~~save money by switching to our ~~own 5G~~services, we believe we can continue to penetrate our expanding footprint and attract more spend on additional products for our existing customers. In the first quarter of 2022, we added 373,000 mobile ~~network which~~lines driven by Spectrum Mobile multi-line pricing introduced in late 2021 and we ~~plan to use in combination with our mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”) reseller agreement with Verizon and WiFi network to enhance the customer’s experience and improve our cost structure.~~added 185,000 Internet customers.

We believe Spectrum-branded mobile services will drive higher sales of our core products, create longer customer lives and increase profitability and cash flow over time. As a result of growth costs associated with our new mobile product line, we cannot be certain that we will be able to grow revenues or maintain our margins at recent historical rates. During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, our mobile product line increased revenues by ~~$519~~$690 million and ~~$1.0 billion,~~$492 million, respectively, reduced Adjusted EBITDA by approximately ~~$67~~$70 million and ~~$147~~$80 million, respectively, and reduced free cash flow by approximately ~~$277~~$290 million and ~~$461~~$184 million, respectively. ~~During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our mobile product line increased revenues by $310 million and $568 million, respectively, reduced~~Mobile Adjusted EBITDA ~~by approximately $103 million and $219 million, respectively, and reduced free cash flow by approximately $233 million and $493 million, respectively. Primarily~~may continue to be negative primarily as a result of growth-related sales and marketing and other customer acquisition costs for mobile services, and depending on the pace of that ~~growth, we expect mobile Adjusted EBITDA will continue to be negative.~~growth. We also expect to continue to see negative free cash flow from the timing of device-related cash flows when we sell devices to customers pursuant to equipment installment plans and capital expenditures related to ~~retail store and~~ CBRS build-out.

We expect programming rates per customer will continue to increase due to a variety of factors, including annual increases imposed by programmers with additional selling power as a result of media and broadcast station groups consolidation, increased demands by owners of broadcast stations for payment for retransmission consent or linking carriage of other services to retransmission consent, and additional programming. We have been unable to fully pass these increases on to our customers and do not expect to be able to do so in the future without a potential loss of customers.

Regulatory, connectivity and produced content ~~increased $180 million and $229~~decreased $44 million during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding ~~periods~~period in ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~higher~~lower sports rights costs as a result of more basketball ~~and baseball~~ games during the ~~first half of~~three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to ~~the corresponding period in 2020~~2022 as the prior ~~period had postponement of games and the current~~ period had additional games due to the delayed start of the 2020 - 2021 NBA season as aof result of ~~COVID-19.~~COVID-19 as well as lower costs of video devices sold to customers and regulatory pass-through fees.

Costs to service customers ~~decreased $21 million and $65~~increased $95 million during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding ~~periods~~period in ~~2020 despite 4.2% customer growth~~2021 primarily due to ~~fewer transactions and a decrease in~~unusually low bad debt ~~expense partly driven by~~in the first quarter of 2021 which benefited from government stimulus packages, ~~offset by the~~ higher labor costs associated with our commitment to a minimum $20 per hour wage in ~~2022.~~2022, and higher health benefit and fuel costs.

Marketing increased $75 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021 primarily due to higher labor costs driven by the wage rate increase mentioned above and insourcing of inbound sales and retention call centers.

Mobile costs of ~~$586~~$760 million and ~~$1.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $413 million and $787~~$572 million for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were comprised of mobile device costs and mobile service, customer acquisition and operating costs. The increase is attributable to an increase in the number of mobile lines.

Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

We use certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of our business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, consolidated net income ~~attributable to CCO Holdings member~~ and net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are reconciled to consolidated net income ~~attributable to CCO Holdings member~~ and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, below.

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by our 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 our 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 our performance and our ability to service our debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under our 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, we use Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by our operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. Our debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were ~~$365~~$342 million and ~~$642~~$277 million for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~respectively, and $308 million and $619 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,~~ respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

This section contains a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources, including a discussion of our cash position, sources and uses of cash, access to credit facilities and other financing sources, historical financing activities, cash needs, capital expenditures and outstanding debt.

Recent Events

In March ~~2021,~~2022, Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating") and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.400% senior secured notes due April 2033 at a price of 99.634% of the aggregate principal amount, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of ~~3.500%~~5.250% senior secured notes due ~~June 2041~~April 2053 at a price of ~~99.544%~~99.300% of the aggregate principal amount and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of ~~3.900% senior secured notes due June 2052 at a price of 99.951% of the aggregate principal amount and an additional $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850%~~5.500% senior secured notes due April ~~2061~~2063 at a price of ~~94.668%~~99.255% of the aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds were used ~~to pay related fees and expenses and~~ for general corporate purposes, including distributions to parent companies to fund buybacks of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units, ~~as well as repaying certain indebtedness, including $750 million of CCO Holdings' 5.750% notes due February 2026.~~

In April 2021, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.0 billion of 4.500% senior unsecured notes due June 2033 at par, and in June 2021, an additional $750 million of the same series of notes was issued at a price of 99.250% of the aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including distributions to parent companies to fund potential buybacks of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units, to repay certain indebtedness and to pay related fees and expenses.

In June 2021, Charter Operating and Charter Communications Operating Capital Corp. issued an additional $1.4 billion of 3.900% senior secured notes due June 2052 priced at 95.578% of the aggregate principal amount and $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.400% senior secured notes due December 2061 at a price of 99.906% of the aggregate principal amount. Net proceeds were used to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, including distributions to parent companies to fund buybacks of Charter Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units as well as repaying certain

indebtedness, including $500 million of CCO Holdings' 5.750% notes due February 2026, all of CCO Holdings' 5.875% notes due May 2027, and in July 2021, $1.0 billion of Time Warner Cable, LLC's 4.000% notes due September 2021.

Overview of Our Contractual Obligations and Liquidity

We have significant amounts of debt. The principal amount of our debt as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was ~~$87.5~~$94.9 billion, consisting of ~~$10.0~~$9.8 billion of credit facility debt, ~~$53.6~~$60.0 billion of investment grade senior secured notes and ~~$24.0~~$25.2 billion of high-yield senior unsecured notes. Our business requires significant cash to fund principal and interest payments on our debt.

Our projected cash needs and projected sources of liquidity depend upon, among other things, our actual results, and the timing and amount of our expenditures. As we continue to grow our market penetration of our mobile ~~services,~~product, we ~~expect an initial funding period~~will continue to ~~grow a new product as well as~~experience negative working capital impacts from the timing of device-related cash flows when we sell devices to customers pursuant to equipment installment plans. Further, in 2022, Charter ~~expects to~~has become a meaningful federal cash tax payer as the majority of their net operating losses ~~will~~ have been ~~utilized.~~utilized which will be funded by distributions from us. Free cash flow was ~~$2.1 billion and $3.9~~$1.8 billion for both the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$1.8 billion and $3.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.~~2021. See table below for factors impacting free cash flow during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding prior ~~periods.~~period. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the amount available under our credit facilities was approximately $4.7 billion and cash on hand was approximately ~~$1.5~~$2.1 billion. We expect to utilize free cash flow, cash on hand and availability under our credit facilities as well as future refinancing transactions to further extend the maturities of our obligations. The timing and terms of any refinancing transactions will be subject to market conditions among other considerations. Additionally, we may, from time to time, and depending on market conditions and other factors, use cash on hand and the proceeds from securities offerings or other borrowings to retire our debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, tender offers or redemption provisions. We believe we have

sufficient liquidity from cash on hand, free cash flow and Charter Operating’s revolving credit facility as well as access to the capital markets to fund our projected cash needs.

We continue to evaluate the deployment of our cash on hand and anticipated future free cash flow including to invest in our business growth and other strategic opportunities, including expanding the capacity of our network, the expansion of our network ~~such as~~ through our ~~Rural Digital Opportunity Fund ("RDOF") project,~~rural broadband construction initiative, the build-out and deployment of our CBRS spectrum, and mergers and acquisitions as well as distributions to parent companies for stock repurchases and dividends. Charter's target leverage of net debt to the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA remains at 4 to 4.5 times Adjusted EBITDA, and up to 3.5 times Adjusted EBITDA at the Charter Operating first lien level. Our leverage ratio was 4.4 times Adjusted EBITDA as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. As Adjusted EBITDA grows, we expect to increase the total amount of our indebtedness to maintain leverage within Charter's target leverage range. Excluding purchases from Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) discussed below, during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, Charter purchased in the public market approximately ~~3.2~~4.4 million and ~~7.9~~4.7 million shares of Charter Class A common stock, respectively, for approximately ~~$2.1~~$2.6 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Charter purchased approximately 2.0 million and 6.5 million shares of Charter Class A common stock, respectively, for approximately $1.0 billion and $3.2$3.0 billion, respectively. Since the beginning of its buyback program in September 2016 through ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, Charter has purchased in the public market approximately ~~95.6~~131.6 million shares of Class A common stock and Charter Holdings common units for approximately ~~$39.7 billion.~~$60.4 billion, including purchases from Liberty Broadband and A/N discussed below.

In February 2021, Charter and Liberty Broadband entered into a letter agreement (the “LBB Letter Agreement”). The LBB Letter Agreement implements Liberty Broadband’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement ~~with~~among Charter, Liberty Broadband and ~~Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“~~A/~~N”),~~N, dated as of May 23, 2015 (as amended, the “Stockholders Agreement”) to participate in share repurchases by Charter. Under the LBB Letter Agreement, Liberty Broadband will sell to Charter, generally on a monthly basis, a number of shares of Charter Class A common stock representing an amount sufficient for Liberty Broadband’s ownership of Charter to be reduced such that it does not exceed the ownership cap then applicable to Liberty Broadband under the Stockholders Agreement at a purchase price per share equal to the volume weighted average price per share paid by Charter for shares repurchased during such immediately preceding calendar month other than (i) purchases from A/N, (ii) purchases in privately negotiated transactions or (iii) purchases for the withholding of shares of Charter Class A common stock pursuant to equity compensation programs of Charter. Charter purchased from Liberty Broadband ~~1.9~~1.0 million and ~~2.8~~0.8 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for approximately ~~$1.2 billion~~$602 million and ~~$1.8 billion~~$518 million during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In ~~July 2021,~~April 2022, Charter purchased from Liberty Broadband an additional ~~0.4~~0.9 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for approximately ~~$279~~$491 million.

In December 2016, Charter and A/N entered into a letter agreement, as amended in December 2017 (the "A/N Letter Agreement"), that requires A/N to sell to Charter or to Charter Holdings, on a monthly basis, a number of shares of Charter Class A common stock or Charter Holdings common units that represents a pro rata participation by A/N and its affiliates in

any repurchases of shares of Charter Class A common stock from persons other than A/N effected by Charter during the immediately preceding calendar month, at a purchase price equal to the average price paid by Charter for the shares repurchased from persons other than A/N during such immediately preceding calendar month. A/N and Charter both have the right to terminate or suspend the pro rata repurchase arrangement on a prospective basis. During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, Charter Holdings purchased from A/N ~~0.9~~0.7 million and ~~1.7~~0.8 million Charter Holdings common units, respectively, for approximately ~~$583~~$416 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Charter Holdings purchased from A/N 0.3 million and 1.1 million Charter Holdings common units, respectively, for approximately $125 million and $518$507 million, respectively.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, Charter had remaining board authority to purchase an additional ~~$1.7~~$1.2 billion of Charter’s Class A common stock and/or Charter Holdings common units, excluding purchases from Liberty Broadband. Although Charter expects to continue to buy back its common stock consistent with its leverage target range, Charter is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the timing of any purchases that may occur cannot be predicted and will largely depend on market conditions and other potential uses of capital.Purchases may include open market purchases, tender offers or negotiated transactions. To the extent such purchases occur, CCO Holdings and its subsidiaries are the primary source for funding such purchases through distributions to their parent companies.

As possible acquisitions, swaps or dispositions arise, we actively review them against our objectives including, among other considerations, improving the operational efficiency, geographic clustering of assets, product development or technology capabilities of our business and achieving appropriate return targets, and we may participate to the extent we believe these possibilities present attractive opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that we will actually complete any acquisitions, dispositions or system swaps, or that any such transactions will be material to our operations or results.

Financial Information about Guarantors, Issuers of Guaranteed Securities, Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Each of CCO Holdings, Charter Operating, Time Warner Cable, LLC and Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (collectively, the “Issuers”) and substantially all of Charter Operating’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Obligor Subsidiaries” and together with the Issuers, collectively, the “Obligor Group” and each an “Obligor”) jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the outstanding debt securities of the respective Issuers (other than the CCO Holdings unsecured notes) and Charter Operating’s credit facilities on a senior basis (collectively, the “Guaranteed and Secured Debt”). Such guarantees are pari passu in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of the guarantors and senior in right of payment to subordinated obligations of the guarantors. Each guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the relevant guarantor without rendering the relevant guarantee, as it relates to that guarantor, voidable or otherwise ineffective or limited under applicable law, and enforcement of each guarantee would be subject to certain generally available defenses. The Guaranteed

and Secured Debt is structurally subordinated to the creditors (including trade creditors) and preference shareholders (if any) of Charter Operating’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The Guaranteed and Secured Debt and the subsidiary guarantees thereof are also secured by (i) a lien on substantially all of the assets of Charter Operating and the Obligor Subsidiaries, to the extent such lien can be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code by the filing of a financing statement, and (ii) a pledge of substantially all of the equity interests of subsidiaries owned by Charter Operating or the Obligor Subsidiaries (the “Pledged Equity Interests”), as well as intercompany obligations owing to it by any of such entities ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Collateral”). In addition, payments of a mortgage note, currently outstanding for approximately ~~$325~~$317 million, incurred by a single-asset special purpose entity to finance construction of the first building of the new Charter headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut are guaranteed by the Obligor Group and rank equally with the liens on the Collateral securing the Guaranteed and Secured Debt. No assets of any of Charter Operating’s non-guarantor subsidiaries (including any capital stock owned by any such subsidiary) will constitute Collateral. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively senior to all unsecured debt or debt secured by a junior liens of the subsidiary guarantors, in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the guarantee obligations of the subsidiary guarantors. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Guaranteed and Secured Debt, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement, the security documents governing the Guaranteed and Secured Debt provide for (among other available remedies) the foreclosure upon and sale of the Collateral by the collateral agent(s) of the respective Guaranteed and Secured Debt and the distribution of the net proceeds of any such sale to the holders and/or the lenders of the Guaranteed and Secured Debt on a pro rata basis, subject to any prior liens on the Collateral. We believe there is no separate trading market for the Pledged Equity Interests.

Certain Charter Operating subsidiaries that are regulated entities are only designated as guarantor subsidiaries, and certain related assets (including the capital stock of such regulated entities) are only required to be pledged as Collateral, upon approval by regulators. The guaranteed obligations and collateral of an Obligor Subsidiary (including Pledged Equity Interests) may be released under certain circumstances permitted under the documentation governing the Guaranteed and Secured Debt, including if an Obligor Subsidiary no longer qualifies as a “Subsidiary” of Charter Operating under transactions not prohibited by the Charter Operating credit agreement.

See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details about the terms, conditions and other factors that may affect payments to holders and the collateral arrangements of the Guaranteed and Secured Debt.

Because the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined Obligor Group are not materially different than corresponding amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of CCO Holdings, summarized financial information of the Obligor Group have been omitted pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X Rule 13-01, Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered and S-X Rule 13-02, Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize Securities Registered Or Being Registered. The information below is being presented to comply with the terms of the Charter Operating credit agreement.

Limitations on Distributions

Distributions by us and our subsidiaries to a parent company for payment of principal on parent company notes are restricted under CCO Holdings indentures and Charter Operating credit facilities governing our indebtedness, unless there is no default under the applicable indenture and credit facilities, and unless each applicable entity’s leverage ratio test is met at the time of such distribution. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, there was no default under any of these indentures or credit facilities, and each applicable entity met its applicable leverage ratio tests based on ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 financial results. There can be no assurance that they will satisfy these tests at the time of the contemplated distribution. Distributions by Charter Operating for payment of principal on parent company (CCO Holdings) notes are further restricted by the covenants in its credit facilities.

However, without regard to leverage, during any calendar year or any portion thereof during which the borrower is a flow-through entity for tax purposes, and so long as no event of default exists, the borrower may make distributions to the equity interests of the borrower in an amount sufficient to make permitted tax payments.

In addition to the limitation on distributions under the various indentures, distributions by our subsidiaries may be limited by applicable law, including the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, under which our subsidiaries may only make distributions if they have “surplus” as defined in the act.

Historical Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We held ~~$1.5~~$2.1 billion and ~~$710~~$321 million in cash and cash equivalents as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities ~~increased $1.0 billion~~decreased $88 million during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, primarily due to the payment of a previously recorded litigation settlement of $220 million and changes in working capital, excluding the change in accrued interest and accrued expenses related to capital expenditures, that used $204 million more cash offset by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of ~~$1.1 billion.~~$265 million.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities ~~was $3.7 billion and $3.5 billion for~~remained relatively consistent during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase~~March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in ~~cash used was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures.~~2021.

Financing Activities. Net cash ~~used in~~provided by financing activities ~~decreased $1.4~~increased $2.1 billion during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 due to an increase in the amount by which borrowings of long-term debt exceeded repayments ~~offset by~~as well as a decrease in distributions to parent companies.

Capital Expenditures

We have significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements. Capital expenditures were $1.9 billion and ~~$3.7~~$1.8 billion for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~respectively, and $1.9 billion and $3.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,~~ respectively. The increase ~~during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020~~ was primarily due to an increase in line extensions, partly offset by decreases in support capital, scalable infrastructure ~~driven by augmentation of network capacity for~~and customer ~~growth and usage, with incremental spending to reclaim network headroom maintained prior to COVID-19, and higher~~premise equipment. The increase in line extensions ~~driven by~~was due to continued network expansion, including to rural areas. See the table below for more details.

We currently expect ~~2021~~full year 2022 cable capital expenditures, excluding ~~RDOF investments,~~capital expenditures associated with our rural construction initiative, to be ~~relatively consistent as a percentage of cable revenue versus 2020.~~between $7.1 billion and $7.3 billion. The actual amount of our capital expenditures in ~~2021~~2022 will depend on a number of factors including further spend related to product development and growth rates of both our residential and commercial ~~businesses.~~businesses as well as the pace of rural construction.

Our capital expenditures are funded primarily from cash flows from operating activities and borrowings on our credit facility. In addition, our accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures increased by $10 million and decreased by ~~$125 million and $174~~$75 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively.

The following tables present our major capital expenditures categories in accordance with National Cable and Telecommunications Association (“NCTA”) disclosure guidelines for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. These

disclosure guidelines are not required disclosures under GAAP, nor do they impact our accounting for capital expenditures under GAAP (dollars in millions):

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

~~For a discussion of our recently issued accounting policies, see~~See Note 2122 to the ~~consolidated financial statements contained in our 2020~~ Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards. There have been no material changes from the recently issued accounting ~~policies~~standards described in our Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

~~We use derivative instruments~~There have been no material changes to ~~manage foreign exchange~~the interest rate risk as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~Sterling Notes, and do not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.~~

Cross-currency derivative instruments are used to effectively convert £1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate British pound sterling denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. The cross-currency derivative instruments have maturities of June 2031 and July 2042. We are required to post collateral on the cross-currency derivative instruments when such instruments are in a liability position. In April 2019, we entered into a collateral holiday agreement for 60% of both the 2031 and 2042 cross-currency swaps, which eliminates the requirement to post collateral for three years, as well as a ten year collateral cap on the remaining 40% of the cross-currency swaps which limits the required collateral posting on that 40% of the cross-currency swaps to $150 million. In March 2021, the collateral holiday for 20% of the swaps was extended to November 2022 in consideration for our agreement to post collateral over a threshold amount on that 20% portion of the swaps from March 2021 through Octoberended December 31, 2021. ~~For more information, see~~See Note 83 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in “Item 1. Financial ~~Statements.”~~

AsStatements” for a discussion of ~~June 30, 2021 and December~~notes issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on credit facility debt was approximately 1.7% and 1.7%, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate on the senior notes was approximately 4.9% and 5.1%, respectively, resulting in a blended weighted average interest rate of 4.6% and 4.7%, respectively. The interest rate on approximately 88% and 87% of the total principal amount of our debt was effectively fixed as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

~~The table set forth below summarizes the fair values and contract terms of financial instruments subject to interest rate risk maintained by us as of June 30, 2021 (dollars in millions).~~

2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total Fair Value
Debt:
Fixed-Rate $ 1,000 $ 3,000 $ 1,500 $ 1,100 $ 4,500 $ 65,514 $ 76,614 $ 87,032
Average Interest Rate 4.00 % 4.46 % 6.92 % 4.50 % 4.91 % 5.04 % 5.02 %

Interest rates on variable-rate debt are estimated using the average implied forward LIBOR for the year of maturity based on the yield curve in effect at June 30, 2021 including applicable bank spread.2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this quarterly report. The evaluation was based upon reports and certifications provided by a number of executives. Based on, and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the

desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit

relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, we believe that our controls provide such reasonable assurances.

During the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

~~Item 5.Other Information.~~

~~On July 27, 2021, Charter entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with David G. Ellen, Charter’s Senior Executive Vice President.~~

The Agreement, which is effective as of July 1, 2021, has a term ending July 1, 2023 (or upon an earlier termination of employment) and provides that Mr. Ellen will continue to serve as Senior Executive Vice President. The Agreement provides that Mr. Ellen will receive an annual base salary of at least $1,250,000 and a target annual cash bonus opportunity of 160% of his annual base salary.

Mr. Ellen is also entitled to use the company aircraft for up to 30 hours of discretionary personal use per calendar year (without carryover).

If the employment of Mr. Ellen is terminated involuntarily by Charter without cause or by him for good reason, he would be entitled to (a) a cash severance payment equal to the product of 2.0 multiplied by the sum of his annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity for the year in which the termination occurs, (b) a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination, determined based on actual performance, (c) a cash payment equal to the cost of COBRA coverage for 24 months following termination and (d) up to 12 months of executive-level outplacement services.

In the event of the termination of Mr. Ellen’s employment due to death or disability or if Charter does not renew the Agreement and Mr. Ellen terminates his employment during the year following the non-renewal, in addition to payment of amounts earned but unpaid and reimbursement of expenses through the date of termination, he would be eligible for a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination, determined based on actual performance.
