NEW YORK, NY, November 5, 2008 —Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE: TWC) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Time Warner Cable President and Chief Executive Officer Glenn Britt said: “Time Warner Cable delivered another strong quarter of operational and financial growth. Our communications and entertainment services continue to be a vital part of consumers’ lives, as evidenced this quarter by growth in bundled services and customer relationships. In particular, we generated very strong high-speed data net additions that far outpaced the telcos’ broadband additions.”
Britt added: “While the uncertain economy is presenting numerous challenges for companies and consumers alike, Time Warner Cable will continue to manage its business and balance sheet prudently and strategically for competitive strength, long-term growth and shareholder value.”
THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS
Revenuesfor the third quarter of 2008 increased 8% ($339 million) over the prior year quarter to $4.3 billion. Subscription revenues grew 9% ($336 million) to $4.1 billion. Video revenues rose 4% ($109 million) to $2.6 billion, driven by continued growth in digital video services and video price increases. High-speed data revenues increased 12% ($114 million) to $1.1 billion, as a result of continued high-speed data subscriber growth. Voice revenues were up 37% ($113 million) to $421 million, reflecting growth in Digital Phone subscribers. Advertising revenues grew 1% ($3 million) to $224 million primarily due to an increase in political advertising revenues, partially offset by a decline in advertising revenues from national, regional and local businesses.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”)rose 9% ($126 million) over the third quarter of 2007 to $1.6 billion, benefiting from revenue growth, offset partially by higher employee, video programming and voice costs. Employee costs grew 9% ($72 million), resulting primarily from headcount and salary increases. Video programming expenses rose 8% ($68 million) to $949 million, due to contractual rate increases and a higher percentage of basic video subscribers who also subscribe to expanded tiers of video services. Voice costs climbed 25% ($29 million) primarily reflecting growth in Digital Phone subscribers.
OIBDA in the third quarter of 2008 also included a $13 million benefit due to changes in estimates of previously established casualty insurance accruals and a $10 million negative impact as a result of service outages and damage to plant infrastructure caused by Hurricane Ike. Additionally, the current year period included restructuring expenses of $8 million, compared to merger-related and restructuring expenses of $4 million in the prior year period.
Operating Incomewas up 16% ($107 million) over the third quarter of 2007 to $788 million, due to higher OIBDA, offset in part by increased depreciation expense ($17 million).
Income and Per Share Results
For the third quarter of 2008, net income was $301 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted common share, compared to net income of $248 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2007. This increase was due to higher Operating Income, offset in part by higher income tax provision and minority interest expense.
Certain pretax items in the current year quarter affected comparability, including $53 million of costs associated with the Company’s planned separation from Time Warner. The $53 million of separation-related costs consisted of $3 million of direct transaction costs and $50 million of financing costs primarily related to the funding of the planned $10.9 billion special dividend. On an after-tax basis, these items reduced net income by $32 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted common share.
Cash Provided by Operating Activitiesfor the first nine months of 2008 was $3.9 billion, an increase of $611 million over the first nine months of 2007. This increase was driven by higher Adjusted OIBDA, a favorable change in working capital requirements and lower tax and interest payments, offset partially by higher pension plan contributions.
Capital Expendituresfor the first nine months of 2008 totaled $2.6 billion, an increase of $167 million compared to the first nine months of 2007, largely reflecting higher customer premise equipment purchases, which rose 12% ($131 million).
Free Cash Flowfor the first nine months of 2008 was $1.3 billion, an increase of $501 million, or 64%, over the first nine months of 2007, due mainly to an increase in cash provided by operating activities, offset in part by higher capital expenditures. Net debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity membership units, as of September 30, 2008, totaled $13.0 billion compared to $13.6 billion as of December 31, 2007.

Use of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Free Cash Flow
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”) is a financial measure not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company defines OIBDA as Operating Income before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets. The Company also evaluates the performance of its business using OIBDA excluding the impact of noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets, as well as gains and losses on asset sales (referred to herein as “Adjusted OIBDA”). Management utilizes OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business because they eliminate the uneven effect across its business of considerable amounts of depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets recognized in business combinations. Additionally, management utilizes OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA because it believes these measures provide valuable insight into the underlying performance of the Company’s individual cable systems by removing the effects of items that are not within the control of local personnel charged with managing these systems such as income tax provision, other income (expense), net, minority interest expense, net, income from equity investments, net, and interest expense, net. In this regard, OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA are significant measures used in the Company’s annual incentive compensation programs. OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA also are metrics used by the Company’s parent, Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”), to evaluate the Company’s performance, and OIBDA is an important measure in the Time Warner reportable segment disclosures. A limitation of OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA, however, is that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. Moreover, Adjusted OIBDA does not reflect gains and losses on asset sales or any impairment charge related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates the investments in such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analyses. Another limitation of these measures is that they do not reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income taxes, debt servicing costs, the share of OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA related to the minority ownership, the results of the Company’s equity investments or other non-operational income or expense. Management compensates for this limitation through other financial measures such as a review of net income and earnings per share.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) plus excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, less cash provided by (used by) discontinued operations, capital expenditures, partnership distributions and principal payments on capital leases. Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate the Company’s business. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of its liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt and make strategic investments, because it reflects the Company’s operating cash flow after considering the significant capital expenditures required to operate its business. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect payments made in connection with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates such expenditures through other financial measures such as return on investment analyses.
OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company’s Operating Income, net income 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.
