TIME WARNER CABLE REPORTS
2010 THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS

NEW YORK, NY, November 4, 2010 –Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE: TWC) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Time Warner Cable Chief Executive Officer Glenn Britt said: “This is an exciting time at Time Warner Cable. We’re introducing several new offerings that give our customers control in ways that are simple and easy. We’re performing well financially, despite the economic and competitive climate. And our confidence in the strength and stability of our cash flow makes it possible to return a large amount of capital to shareholders through regular dividends and the $4 billion share repurchase program we announced this morning.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenuesfor the third quarter of 2010 increased 5.2% from the third quarter of 2009 to $4.7 billion. Subscription revenues grew 4.5% year-over-year to $4.5 billion, driven by a 3.5% increase in residential subscription revenues and a 21.6% increase in commercial subscription revenues. Advertising revenues increased 22.5% to $223 million. Residential subscription revenue growth was driven by increases in high-speed data, video and voice revenues. The growth in residential high-speed data revenues was the result of growth in high-speed data subscribers and, to a lesser extent, increases in average revenues per subscriber. Residential video revenues increased as a result of video price increases, year-over-year growth of digital video subscribers and an increase in DVR service revenues, partially offset by a year-over-year decline in video subscribers and a decrease in transactional video-on-demand revenues. The growth in residential voice revenues was driven by an increase in Digital Phone subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in average monthly revenues per Digital Phone subscriber. Commercial subscription revenue growth was due primarily to an increase in cell tower backhaul revenues and increases in Business Class Phone and commercial high-speed data subscribers. Advertising revenue growth was driven by year-over-year increases in a wide range of categories, most significantly automotive, media and political.

Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted OIBDA”)rose 5.7% over the third quarter of 2009 to $1.7 billion driven by revenue growth, partially offset by a 5.0% increase in operating expenses, in particular, higher employee, video programming, marketing and voice expenses.
Employee expenses of $979 million were 4.0% higher than the third quarter of 2009, driven by higher headcount and compensation offset, in part, by a decrease in pension expense. Video programming expenses grew 3.5% to $1.0 billion due to contractual rate increases and incremental retransmission consent expense offset, in part, by a decline in video subscribers. Additionally, video programming costs were reduced by approximately $15 million in the third quarter of 2010 and increased by approximately $5 million in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of changes in cost estimates for programming services carried without a contract, reversals of previously accrued audit reserves and certain contract settlements. Marketing expense was up 11.4% to $156 million, while voice costs increased 4.3% to $168 million due to subscriber growth.
Operating Incomewas up 12.0% over the third quarter of 2009 to $927 million primarily as a result of higher Adjusted OIBDA and a decrease in amortization expense, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense.
Adjusted OIBDA for the third quarter of 2010 excludes the expenses noted in the table below.

Adjusted OIBDA less Capital Expendituresfor the first nine months of 2010 totaled $3.0 billion, a 19.8% increase over the first nine months of 2009, due to higher Adjusted OIBDA and lower capital expenditures.Capital Expenditureswere $2.1 billion in the first nine months of 2010, a 6.1% decrease from the first nine months of 2009, largely reflecting lower residential capital spending, partly offset by higher commercial capital spending. The decline in residential capital spending was primarily attributable to lower spending on support capital, customer premise equipment and scalable infrastructure. The increase in commercial capital spending was primarily related to higher spending on line extensions and scalable infrastructure.

Free Cash Flowfor the first nine months of 2010 increased 8.2% to $1.6 billion from $1.5 billion in the first nine months of 2009, due to an increase in Adjusted OIBDA and decreases in capital expenditures and pension plan contributions, offset partly by higher cash tax and interest payments.Cash Provided by Operating Activitiesfor the first nine months of 2010 was $3.8 billion, a 0.8% decrease from the first nine months of 2009. This decrease was related primarily to increases in cash tax and interest payments, offset partly by higher Adjusted OIBDA and lower pension plan contributions.

Net Debt and Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Equitytotaled $20.5 billion as of September 30, 2010, down $1.1 billion since December 31, 2009. The decline in net debt and preferred equity was driven by Free Cash Flow offset, in part, by the quarterly cash dividend payments and the increase in the fair value of debt subject to interest rate swap contracts (which was equal to the increase in the fair value of the underlying swaps which are separately recorded as assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet).

^(a)		Pursuant to an agreement with Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”), Time Warner Cable Inc. (“TWC” or the “Company”) is obligated to reimburse Time Warner for the cost of certain Time Warner equity awards held by TWC employees upon exercise or vesting of such awards. Amounts represent the change in the reimbursement obligation, which fluctuates primarily with the fair value of the underlying equity awards and is recorded in earnings in the period of change.

^(b)		As a result of the Company’s separation (the “Separation”) from Time Warner, pursuant to their terms, Time Warner equity awards held by TWC employees were forfeited and/or experienced a reduction in value as of the date of the Separation. Amounts represent the costs associated with TWC stock options and restricted stock units granted to TWC employees during the second quarter of 2009 to offset these forfeitures and/or reduced values.

^(c)		Amounts represent adjustments to reduce excess amortization recorded in prior years.

^(d)		Amount consists of direct transaction costs (e.g., legal and professional fees) and debt issuance costs ($28 million and $13 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009).

^(e)		Amount represents a gain related to the fourth quarter 2008 sale of cable systems as a result of a post-closing purchase price adjustment.

^(f)		As a result of the Separation on March 12, 2009, TWC employees who held stock options under Time Warner equity plans were treated as if their employment with Time Warner had been terminated without cause at the time of the Separation. In most cases, this treatment resulted in shortened exercise periods, generally one year from the date of Separation, for vested Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, TWC recorded a net noncash charge of $68 million related to the reversal of previously recognized deferred income tax benefits primarily as a result of the expiration, on March 12, 2010, of these Time Warner stock options.

^(g)		Amounts represent adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets associated with an equity-method investment.

2. 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 and Free Cash Flow, which the Company defines as follows:

Adjusted OIBDAmeans 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 the Separation.

•

Adjusted OIBDA less Capital Expendituresmeans Adjusted OIBDA minus capital expenditures.

•

Free Cash Flowmeans cash provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) excluding the impact, if any, of cash provided or used by discontinued operations, plus any excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, less (i) capital expenditures, (ii) cash paid for other intangible assets, (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 (1) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and amortization and (2) items not within the control of the Company’s operations managers (such as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax benefit (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. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is an important indicator of the Company’s liquidity after the payment of cash taxes, interest and other cash items, including its ability to reduce net debt, pay dividends, repurchase common stock and make strategic investments. 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 revenues. 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 share of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less Capital Expenditures attributable to noncontrolling interests, the results of the Company’s equity investments and other non-operational income or expense. Management compensates for these limitations by using other analytics such as a review of net income (loss) 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 measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, the Company’s Operating Income (Loss), net income (loss) 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.
