Explanatory Note

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report being filed separately by Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and NBCUniversal Media, LLC (“NBCUniversal”). Comcast owns all of the common equity interests in NBCUniversal, and NBCUniversal meets the conditions set forth in General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10-Q and is therefore filing its information within this Form 10-Q with the reduced disclosure format. Each of Comcast and NBCUniversal is filing on its own behalf the information contained in this report that relates to itself, and neither company makes any representation as to information relating to the other company. Where information or an explanation is provided that is substantially the same for each company, such information or explanation has been combined in this report. Where information or an explanation is not substantially the same for each company, separate information and explanation has been provided. In addition, separate condensed consolidated financial statements for each company, along with notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are included in this report. Unless indicated otherwise, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to Comcast and its consolidated subsidiaries, including NBCUniversal and its consolidated subsidiaries, as “we,” “us” and “our;” Comcast Cable Communications, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries as “Comcast Cable;” Comcast Holdings Corporation as “Comcast Holdings;” NBCUniversal, LLC as “NBCUniversal Holdings;” and NBCUniversal Enterprise, Inc. as “NBCUniversal Enterprise.”

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q modifies and supersedes documents filed before it. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you directly to those documents. Information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

You should carefully review the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and particularly consider any risk factors set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the

SEC. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these words, and other comparable words. You should be aware that these statements are only our predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined below and in other reports we file with the SEC. Actual events or our actual results could differ materially from our forward-looking statements as a result of any such factors, which could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Our businesses may be affected by, among other things, the following:


•	our businesses currently face a wide range of competition, and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not compete effectively


•	changes in consumer behavior driven by new technologies and distribution platforms for viewing content may adversely affect our businesses and challenge existing business models


•	a decline in advertisers’ expenditures or changes in advertising markets could negatively impact our businesses


•	our businesses depend on keeping pace with technological developments


•	we are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and foreign authorities, which may impose additional costs and restrictions on our businesses


•	changes to existing statutes, rules, regulations, or interpretations thereof, or adoption of new ones, could have an adverse effect on our businesses


•	programming expenses for our video services are increasing, which could adversely affect our Cable Communications segment’s video business


•	NBCUniversal’s success depends on consumer acceptance of its content, and its businesses may be adversely affected if its content fails to achieve sufficient consumer acceptance or the costs to create or acquire content increase


•	the loss of NBCUniversal’s programming distribution agreements, or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms, could adversely affect its businesses


•	we rely on network and information systems and other technologies, as well as key properties, and a disruption, cyber attack, failure or destruction of such networks, systems, technologies or properties may disrupt our businesses


•	we may be unable to obtain necessary hardware, software and operational support


•	weak economic conditions may have a negative impact on our businesses


•	our businesses depend on using and protecting certain intellectual property rights and on not infringing the intellectual property rights of others


•	acquisitions and other strategic initiatives, including the launch of our wireless phone service, present many risks, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals that we had contemplated


•	labor disputes, whether involving employees or sports organizations, may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our businesses


•	the loss of key management personnel or popular on-air and creative talent could have an adverse effect on our businesses


•	we face risks relating to doing business internationally that could adversely affect our businesses


•	our Class B common stock has substantial voting rights and separate approval rights over several potentially material transactions, and our Chairman and CEO has considerable influence over our company through his beneficial ownership of our Class B common stock

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and certain other information, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock Split

On January 24, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend that was distributed on February 17, 2017 to shareholders of record as of February 8, 2017. The stock split was in the form of one additional share for every share held and was payable in shares of Class A common stock on the existing Class A common stock and Class B common stock. All share-based data, including the number of shares outstanding and per share amounts, have been adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications have been made to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year periods to conform to classifications used in 2017.

Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. The updated accounting guidance provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model to help improve financial reporting by providing clearer guidance on when an entity should recognize revenue and by reducing the number of standards to which an entity has to refer. The updated accounting guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2018.

We have substantially completed the review of our revenue arrangements and do not currently expect that the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. However, we do expect that the new standard will impact the timing of recognition for (1) our Cable Communications segment’s installation revenue and commission expenses, which will be recognized as revenue and costs over a period of time instead of immediately, and (2) our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments’ content licensing revenue associated with renewals or extensions of existing program licensing agreements, which will be recognized as revenue when the licensed content becomes available under the renewal or extension instead of when the agreement is renewed or extended. In addition, upon adoption, we anticipate implementing certain changes in the presentation of revenue and expenses, including changes related to the allocation of revenue among the cable services included in a bundle that our residential customers purchase at a discount. The updated guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue transactions. We intend to adopt the provisions of the guidance using the full retrospective method, under which we will adjust any prior periods presented to reflect the updated guidance.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires that all nonconsolidated equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method, be measured at fair value and that the changes in fair value be recognized in net income. The updated guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2018. The updated accounting guidance requires a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the year the guidance is adopted with certain exceptions. If we had adopted the provisions of the updated guidance as of January 1, 2017 for our equity investments classified as available-for-sale securities, primarily our investment in Snap Inc. (see Note 6), net income attributable to Comcast Corporation would have decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017 by $88 million and increased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 by $16 million. We are currently in the process of determining the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on our cost method investments.

Comcast Corporation

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases. The updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. The asset and liability are initially measured based on the present value of committed lease payments. For a lessee, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease do not significantly change from previous guidance. For a lessor, the accounting applied is also largely unchanged from previous guidance. The updated guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The updated accounting guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. We are currently in the process of determining the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance that affects several aspects of the accounting for share-based compensation. The most significant change for us relates to the presentation of the income and withholding tax consequences of share-based compensation in our consolidated financial statements. Among the changes, the updated guidance requires that the excess income tax benefits or deficiencies that arise when the tax consequences of share-based compensation differ from amounts previously recognized in the statement of income be recognized as income tax benefit or expense in the statement of income rather than as additional paid-in capital in the balance sheet. The guidance also states that excess income tax benefits should not be presented separately from other income taxes in the statement of cash flows and, thus, should be classified as an operating activity rather than a financing activity as they were under the prior guidance. In addition, the updated guidance requires that, when an employer withholds shares upon exercise of options or the vesting of restricted stock for the purpose of meeting withholding tax requirements, the cash paid for withholding taxes be classified as a financing activity and we include these amounts in the caption “repurchases of common stock under repurchase program and employee plans” in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We previously recorded these amounts as operating activities.

We adopted the updated guidance as of January 1, 2017 and, as required, we prospectively adopted the provisions that relate to the recognition of the excess income tax benefits or deficiencies in our condensed consolidated statement of income. The excess tax benefits resulted in a decrease to income tax expense of $59 million and $198 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. In addition, the excess tax benefits resulted in an increase to diluted earnings per common share attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders of $0.01 and $0.03 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. As required by the updated guidance, the prior year periods in our condensed consolidated statement of income were not adjusted as a result of these provisions.

In addition, we retrospectively adopted the provisions of this guidance related to changes to the statement of cash flows for all periods presented. This resulted in increases to net cash provided by operating activities and decreases to net cash provided by (used in) financing activities of $543 million and $411 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Diluted earnings per common share attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders (“diluted EPS”) considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options and our restricted share units (“RSUs”). The amount of potential common shares related to our share-based compensation plans that were excluded from diluted EPS because their effect would have been antidilutive was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note 4: Significant Transactions

FCC Spectrum Auction

On April 13, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission announced the results of its spectrum auction. In the auction, NBCUniversal relinquished its spectrum rights in the New York, Philadelphia and Chicago designated market areas (“DMAs”) where NBC and Telemundo had overlapping spectrum. NBCUniversal received proceeds of $482 million in July 2017. NBC and Telemundo stations will share broadcast signals in these DMAs. In connection with the auction, we also acquired the rights to $1.7 billion of spectrum, which were recorded to other intangible assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. We had previously made a deposit of $1.8 billion to participate in the auction in the third quarter of 2016 and received a refund for amounts in excess of the purchase price in the second quarter of 2017.

Universal Studios Japan

On April 6, 2017, we acquired the remaining interests in Universal Studios Japan that we did not already own for $2.3 billion. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under our commercial paper program. Because we maintained control of Universal Studios Japan, the difference between the consideration transferred and the recorded value of the noncontrolling interests, as well as the related tax and accumulated other comprehensive income impacts, were recorded to additional paid-in capital.

DreamWorks Animation

On August 22, 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion. DreamWorks Animation’s stockholders received $41 in cash for each share of DreamWorks Animation common stock. DreamWorks Animation creates animated feature films, television series and specials, live entertainment, and related consumer products. The results of operations for DreamWorks Animation are reported in our Filmed Entertainment segment following the acquisition date.

Allocation of Purchase Price

The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities are to be recorded at their fair market values as of the acquisition date. We recorded the acquired assets and liabilities of DreamWorks Animation at their estimated fair values based on valuation analyses. In valuing acquired assets and liabilities, fair value estimates were primarily based on Level 3 inputs, including future expected cash flows, market rate assumptions and discount rates. The fair value of the assumed debt was primarily based on quoted market values. The fair value of the liability related to a tax receivable agreement that DreamWorks Animation had previously entered into with one of its former stockholders (the “tax receivable agreement”) was based on the contractual settlement provisions in the agreement. Further, we recorded deferred income taxes based on our estimates of the tax basis of the acquired net assets and the valuation allowances based on the expected use of net operating loss carryforwards. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we updated the preliminary allocation of purchase price for DreamWorks Animation, which primarily resulted in increases to noncontrolling interests, intangible assets and goodwill and decreases to working capital and deferred income tax assets. The changes did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We may adjust these amounts further

as valuations are finalized and we obtain information necessary to complete the analyses, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The table below presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of DreamWorks Animation.

The tax receivable agreement was settled immediately following the acquisition and the payment was recorded as an operating activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in the third quarter of 2016. We also repaid all of the assumed debt of DreamWorks Animation in the third quarter of 2016.

Revenue and net income attributable to the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Snap

In March 2017, we acquired an interest in Snap Inc. for $500 million as part of its initial public offering, which we have classified as an available-for-sale security. Snap is a camera company whose primary product is Snapchat, a camera app that was created to help people communicate through short videos and images.

Equity Method

Atairos

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we made cash capital contributions totaling $994 million to Atairos Group, Inc., which included amounts accrued as of December 31, 2016. Atairos follows investment company accounting and records its investments at their fair values each reporting period with the net gains or losses reflected in its statement of income. We recognize our share of these gains and losses in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our share of Atairos income was $42 million and $99 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, our share of Atairos losses was $12 million and $27 million, respectively.

The Weather Channel

In January 2016, following a legal restructuring at The Weather Channel, we and the other investors sold the entity holding The Weather Channel’s product and technology businesses to IBM. Following the close of the transaction, we continue to hold an investment in The Weather Channel cable network through a new holding company. As a result of the sale of our investment, we recognized a pretax gain of $108 million in other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

AirTouch

We hold two series of preferred stock of Verizon Americas, Inc., formerly known as AirTouch Communications, Inc. (“AirTouch”), a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc., which are redeemable in April 2020. As of June 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of the AirTouch preferred stock and the estimated fair value of the associated liability related to the redeemable subsidiary preferred shares issued by one of our consolidated subsidiaries were each $1.7 billion. The estimated fair values are based on Level 2 inputs that use pricing models whose inputs are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Note 7: Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2017, our debt had a carrying value of $63.6 billion and an estimated fair value of $70.3 billion. The estimated fair value of our publicly traded debt was primarily based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market values for the debt. The estimated fair value of debt for which there are no quoted market prices was based on Level 2 inputs that use interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Debt Borrowings and Repayments

In June 2017, NBCUniversal Enterprise issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes due 2021. In March 2017, we issued $1.005 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.45% senior notes due 2047. In January 2017, we issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.00% senior notes due 2024 and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.30% senior notes due 2027.

In May 2017, we repaid at maturity $550 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2017. In January 2017, we repaid at maturity $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2017.

In May 2017, Universal Studios Japan entered into a new ¥450 billion ($3.9 billion at issuance) term loan with a final maturity of March 2022. We used the proceeds from this borrowing to repay in full $3.3 billion of Universal Studios Japan’s existing yen-denominated term loans and a portion of amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program.

Revolving Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2017, amounts available under our consolidated revolving credit facilities, net of amounts outstanding under our commercial paper programs and outstanding letters of credit, totaled $7.2 billion, which included $1.5 billion available under NBCUniversal Enterprise’s revolving credit facility.

Commercial Paper Programs

In June 2017, we increased the Comcast and NBCUniversal Enterprise commercial paper programs to $7.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, to coincide with the Comcast and NBCUniversal Enterprise revolving credit facilities’ commitments.

As of June 30, 2017, Comcast had $1.1 billion face amount of commercial paper outstanding and NBCUniversal Enterprise had no commercial paper outstanding.

Note 8: Share-Based Compensation

Our share-based compensation plans consist primarily of awards of RSUs and stock options to certain employees and directors as part of our approach to long-term incentive compensation. Additionally, through our employee stock purchase plans, employees are able to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions.

In March 2017, we granted 10.6 million RSUs and 39.1 million stock options related to our annual management awards. The weighted-average fair values associated with these grants were $37.42 per RSU and $7.01 per stock option.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies

Redeemable Subsidiary Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of the NBCUniversal Enterprise redeemable subsidiary preferred stock was $762 million. The estimated fair value is based on Level 2 inputs that use pricing models whose inputs are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Contingencies

We are a defendant in a lawsuit filed in December 2011 by Sprint Communications Company L.P. (“Sprint”) in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. Sprint’s initial complaint alleged that Comcast Digital Voice and XFINITY Voice infringe twelve Sprint patents covering various aspects of a telecommunications system. In March 2015, Sprint withdrew its allegations of infringement for two of the patents. In December 2016, the Court granted summary judgment for us with respect to non-infringement on one of the patents and granted summary judgment for Sprint on one of the patents as to infringement with respect to some but not all of our accused telecommunications systems but not as to the patent’s validity. In January 2017, the Court entered judgment in favor of us on Sprint’s claims for infringement of two of the patents. In March 2017, Sprint indicated that it would not proceed to trial on three of the patents. Trial with respect to the four remaining patents, including the patent for which the Court granted partial summary judgment to Sprint, is set to begin in late October 2017. Sprint seeks approximately $950 million in damages, plus pre-judgment interest. In July 2017, Sprint filed a motion to amend the pre-trial order seeking to add an allegation that we willfully infringed Sprint’s patents and should be subject to increased damages, which could as much as triple the amount of any damages awarded. In July 2017, Sprint also filed a motion for partial summary judgment of certain of our defenses.

We believe the claims in the Sprint lawsuit are without merit and are defending the action vigorously. We cannot predict the outcome of the Sprint lawsuit, estimate a range of possible loss or determine how the final resolution of the action would affect our results of operations or cash flows for any one period or our consolidated financial position. In addition, as any action nears a trial, there is an increased possibility that the action may be settled by the parties. Nevertheless, we do not expect the final disposition of the Sprint lawsuit to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, but it could be material to our consolidated results of operations or cash flows for any one period.

We also are a defendant in several unrelated lawsuits claiming infringement of various patents relating to various aspects of our businesses. In certain of these cases, other industry participants are also defendants, and also in certain of these cases, we expect that any potential liability would be in part or in whole the responsibility of our equipment and technology vendors under applicable contractual indemnification provisions, including the Sprint lawsuit above. In addition, we are subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions is not expected to materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position, any litigation resulting from any such legal proceedings or claims could be time-consuming and injure our reputation.

Note 11: Financial Data by Business Segment

We present our operations in five reportable business segments:


•	Cable Communications: Consists of the operations of Comcast Cable, which is one of the nation’s largest providers of video, high-speed Internet, voice, and security and automation services to residential customers under the XFINITY brand; we also provide these and other services to business customers and sell advertising.


•	Cable Networks: Consists primarily of our national cable networks, our regional sports and news networks, our international cable networks, and our cable television studio production operations.


•	Broadcast Television: Consists primarily of the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, our NBC and Telemundo owned local broadcast television stations, the NBC Universo national cable network, and our broadcast television studio production operations.


•	Filmed Entertainment: Consists primarily of the operations of Universal Pictures, which produces, acquires, markets and distributes filmed entertainment worldwide; our films are also produced under the Illumination, Focus Features and DreamWorks Animation names.


•	Theme Parks: Consists primarily of our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan.

We use Adjusted EBITDA (formerly operating income before depreciation and amortization) to evaluate the profitability of our operating segments and the components of net income attributable to Comcast Corporation below Adjusted EBITDA are not separately evaluated.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 2.8% of Cable Communications segment revenue was derived from franchise and other regulatory fees.


(b)	NBCUniversal Headquarters and Other activities include costs associated with overhead, allocations, personnel costs and headquarter initiatives.


(c)	Included in Eliminations are transactions that our segments enter into with one another. The most common types of transactions are the following:


•	our Cable Networks segment generates revenue by selling programming to our Cable Communications segment, which represents a substantial majority of the revenue elimination amount


•	our Broadcast Television segment generates revenue from the fees received under retransmission consent agreements with our Cable Communications segment


•	our Cable Communications segment generates revenue by selling advertising and by selling the use of satellite feeds to our Cable Networks segment


•	our Filmed Entertainment and Broadcast Television segments generate revenue from the licensing of film and television content to our Cable Networks segment


(d)	Corporate and Other activities include costs associated with overhead and personnel, the costs of other business initiatives, including our new wireless phone service, and the operations of Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and operates arena management-related businesses.


(e)	No single customer accounted for a significant amount of revenue in any period.

We use Adjusted EBITDA as the measure of profit or loss for our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation before net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiary preferred stock, income tax expense, other income (expense) items, net, and depreciation and amortization, and excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets, if any. Other income (expense) items, net include interest expense, investment income (loss), equity in net income (losses) of investees, and other income (expense), net (as stated in our condensed consolidated statement of income). This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of certain of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. Additionally, it is unaffected by our capital and tax structures and by our investment activities. We use this measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. We believe that this measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Comcast Corporation, net cash provided by operating activities, or other measures of performance or liquidity we have reported in accordance with GAAP. Our reconciliation of the aggregate amount of Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments to consolidated income before income taxes is presented in the table below.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a global media and technology company with two primary businesses, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. We present our operations for Comcast Cable in one reportable business segment, referred to as Cable Communications, and our operations for NBCUniversal in four reportable business segments: Cable Networks, Broadcast Television, Filmed Entertainment and Theme Parks (collectively, the “NBCUniversal segments”).

Cable Communications Segment

Comcast Cable is one of the nation’s largest providers of video, high-speed Internet, voice, and security and automation services (“cable services”) to residential customers under the XFINITY brand; we also provide these and other services to business customers and sell advertising. As of June 30, 2017, our cable systems had 29.0 million total customer relationships, including 26.9 million residential and 2.1 million business customer relationships, and passed more than 56 million homes and businesses. Our Cable Communications segment generates revenue primarily from residential and business customers that subscribe to our cable services, which we market individually and as bundled services, and from the sale of advertising. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, our Cable Communications segment generated 61% of our consolidated revenue and 70% of the aggregate Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable business segments.

NBCUniversal Segments

NBCUniversal is one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies that develops, produces and distributes entertainment, news and information, sports, and other content for global audiences, and owns and operates theme parks worldwide.

Cable Networks

Our Cable Networks segment consists primarily of a diversified portfolio of cable television networks. Our cable networks are comprised of our national cable networks that provide a variety of entertainment, news and information, and sports content; our regional sports and news networks; our international cable networks; our cable television studio production operations; and related digital media properties. Our Cable Networks segment generates revenue primarily from the distribution of our cable network programming to traditional and virtual multichannel video providers, from the sale of advertising on our cable networks and related digital media properties, from the licensing of our owned programming, including programming from our cable television studio production operations, to cable and broadcast networks and subscription video on demand services, and from the sale of our owned programming on standard-definition digital video discs and Blu-ray discs (together, “DVDs”) and through digital distribution services such as iTunes.

Broadcast Television

Our Broadcast Television segment consists primarily of the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, our NBC and Telemundo owned local broadcast television stations, the NBC Universo national cable network, our broadcast television studio production operations, and related digital media properties. Our Broadcast Television segment generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising on our broadcast networks, owned local broadcast television stations and related digital media properties; from the licensing of our owned programming by our broadcast television studio production operations to various distribution platforms, including to cable and broadcast networks as well as to subscription video on demand services; from the fees received under retransmission consent agreements and associated fees received from NBC-affiliated local broadcast television stations; and from the sale of our owned programming on DVDs and through digital distribution services.

Filmed Entertainment

Our Filmed Entertainment segment primarily produces, acquires, markets and distributes filmed entertainment worldwide, and it also develops, produces and licenses live stage plays. Our films are produced primarily under the Universal Pictures, Illumination, Focus Features and DreamWorks Animation names. Our Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenue primarily from the worldwide distribution of our produced and acquired films for exhibition in movie theaters, from the licensing of produced and acquired films through various distribution platforms, and from the sale of produced and acquired films on DVDs and through digital distribution services. Our Filmed Entertainment segment also generates revenue from producing and licensing live stage plays, from the distribution of filmed entertainment produced by third parties, and from Fandango, our movie ticketing and entertainment business.

Table of Contents

Theme Parks

Our Theme Parks segment consists primarily of our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan. In addition, along with a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies, we are developing a theme park in China. Our Theme Parks segment generates revenue primarily from ticket sales and guest spending at our Universal theme parks.

Corporate and Other

Our other business interests consist primarily of the operations of Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and operates arena management-related businesses.

We are also pursuing other business initiatives, such as our wireless phone service that we launched in the second quarter of 2017 on a small scale to our residential cable customers using our virtual network operator rights to provide the service over Verizon’s wireless network and our existing network of in-home and outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots. We offer the wireless phone service only as part of our bundled service offerings to residential customers subscribing to our high-speed Internet service within our cable distribution footprint and may in the future also offer wireless phone service to our small business customers on similar terms. The wireless phone service has success-based working capital requirements, primarily associated with the procurement of handsets, which customers are able to pay for upfront or finance interest-free over 24 months, and other equipment.

Competition

The results of operations of our reportable business segments are affected by competition, as all of our businesses operate in intensely competitive, consumer-driven and rapidly changing environments and compete with a growing number of companies that provide a broad range of communications products and services and entertainment, news and information content to consumers. For additional information on the competition our businesses face, see Item 1: Business included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and refer to the “Competition” discussion within that section and see Item 1A: Risk Factors included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and refer to the risk factors within that section entitled “Our businesses currently face a wide range of competition, and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not compete effectively” and “Changes in consumer behavior driven by new technologies and distribution platforms for viewing content may adversely affect our businesses and challenge existing business models.”

Seasonality and Cyclicality

Each of our businesses is subject to seasonal and cyclical variations. In our Cable Communications segment, our results are impacted by the seasonal nature of customers receiving our cable services in college and vacation markets. This generally results in a reduction in net customer additions in the second quarter and an increase in net customer additions in the third and fourth quarters of each year.

Revenue in our Cable Communications, Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments is subject to cyclical advertising patterns and changes in viewership levels. Advertising revenue in the U.S. is generally higher in the second and fourth quarters of each year, due in part to increases in consumer advertising in the spring and in the period leading up to and including the holiday season. Advertising revenue in the U.S. is also cyclical, with a benefit in even-numbered years due to advertising related to candidates running for political office and issue-oriented advertising. Revenue in our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments fluctuates depending on the timing of when our programming is aired, which typically results in higher advertising revenue in the second and fourth quarters of each year. Our revenue and operating costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization (“operating costs and expenses”) are cyclical as a result of our periodic broadcasts of major sporting events, such as the Olympic Games, which affect our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments, and the Super Bowl, which affects our Broadcast Television segment. Our advertising revenue increases in the period of these broadcasts due to increased demand for advertising time, and our operating costs and expenses also increase as a result of our production costs and the amortization of the related rights fees.

Revenue in our Filmed Entertainment segment fluctuates due to the timing of the release of films in movie theaters, on DVDs and through various other distribution platforms. Release dates are determined by several factors, including competition and the timing of vacation and holiday periods. As a result, revenue tends to be seasonal, with increases experienced each year during the summer months and around the holiday season. Revenue in our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments also fluctuates due to the timing of when our content is made available to licensees.

Revenue in our Theme Parks segment fluctuates with changes in theme park attendance that result from the seasonal nature of vacation travel and weather variations, local entertainment offerings and the opening of new attractions, as well as with changes in currency exchange rates. Our theme parks generally experience peak attendance during the spring holiday period, the summer months when schools are closed and the holiday season.

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to increases in capital expenditures, as well as expenditures for software in our Cable Communications segment in recent years. We continue to invest to increase our network capacity and in customer premise equipment, primarily for our X1 platform, cloud DVR technology and wireless gateways. These assets generally have shorter estimated useful lives, which is also a contributor to our increase in depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. NBCUniversal depreciation and amortization expense also increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 due to our investments in new attractions in our Theme Parks segment.

Segment Operating Results

Our segment operating results are presented based on how we assess operating performance and internally report financial information. We use Adjusted EBITDA (formerly referred to as operating income before depreciation and amortization) as the measure of profit or loss for our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation before net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiary preferred stock, income tax expense, other income (expense) items, net and depreciation and amortization, and excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets, if any. Other income (expense) items, net include interest expense, investment income (loss), equity in net income (losses) of investees and other income (expense), net, as stated in our condensed consolidated statement of income. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of certain of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. Additionally, it is unaffected by our capital and tax structures and by our investment activities. We use this measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. We believe that this measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We reconcile the aggregate amount of Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments to consolidated income before income taxes in the business segment footnote to our condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 11 to Comcast’s condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 10 to NBCUniversal’s condensed consolidated financial statements). This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Comcast Corporation or NBCUniversal, net cash provided by operating activities, or other measures of performance or liquidity we have reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

To be consistent with our current management reporting presentation, certain 2016 operating results were reclassified within the Cable Communications segment.

Cable Communications Segment—Revenue

Video

Video revenue increased 3.9% and 4.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The primary contributors to revenue growth were rate adjustments and increases in the number of residential customers subscribing to additional services such as premium channels and advanced services. These contributors accounted for increases in revenue of 3.5% and 3.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. We have in the past, and may in the future, experience declines in the number of residential video customers due to competitive pressures and the impact of rate adjustments. Competition is intense, both from traditional multichannel video providers and from new technologies and distribution platforms for viewing content. We have responded to this competition, and have attempted to mitigate industry-wide declines in residential video customers at traditional multichannel video providers, through our X1 platform and sales and marketing programs, such as promotions, bundled service offerings and service offerings targeted at market segments.

High-Speed Internet

High-speed Internet revenue increased 9.2% and 9.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. Increases in the number of residential customers receiving our high-speed Internet services accounted for increases in revenue of 5.4% and 5.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The remaining increases in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily due to increases in the number of customers receiving higher levels of service and the impact of rate adjustments. Our customer base continues to grow as consumers choose our high-speed Internet services and seek higher-speed offerings.

Voice

Voice revenue decreased 4.1% and 3.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases were primarily due to the allocation of voice revenue for our customers who received bundled services. The amount allocated to voice revenue in the rate charged for bundled services decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 because video and high-speed Internet rates increased while voice rates remained relatively flat.

Business Services

Business services revenue increased 12.6% and 13.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases were primarily due to increases in the number of customers receiving our small and medium-sized business services offerings. We believe the increases in the number of business customers are primarily the result of our efforts to gain market share from competitors by offering competitive services and pricing, although the rate of growth in the number of our small business customers may slow as the business matures.

Advertising

Advertising revenue decreased 2.1% and 4.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to decreases in revenue from core linear advertising markets across several categories and political advertising revenue, which were partially offset by increases in revenue from interactive advertising. Excluding political advertising revenue, advertising revenue decreased 1.0% and 1.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, 4% of our Cable Communications segment advertising revenue was generated from our NBCUniversal segments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, 4% and 5%, respectively, of our Cable Communications segment advertising revenue was generated from our NBCUniversal segments. These amounts are eliminated in our condensed consolidated financial statements but are included in the amounts presented above.

Other

Other revenue increased 5.0% and 4.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to increases in revenue from our security and automation services and increases in cable franchise and other regulatory fees.

Cable Communications Segment—Operating Costs and Expenses

Programming expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to the timing of contract renewals and other increases in programming license fees, including retransmission consent fees and sports programming costs.

Technical and product support expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to expenses related to the development, delivery and support of our X1 platform, cloud DVR technology

Table of Contents

and wireless gateways, and the continued growth in business services and security and automation services. The increases were also due to expenses related to investments to improve the customer experience.

Customer service expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to reduced call volumes.

Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to increases in spending associated with attracting new customers and encouraging existing customers to add additional or higher-tier services.

Franchise and other regulatory fees increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to increases in the revenue to which the fees apply.

Other costs and expenses remained relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016.

Cable Communications Segment—Operating Margin

Our Cable Communications segment operating margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. The most significant operating costs and expenses for our Cable Communications segment are the programming expenses we incur to provide content to our video customers. We expect that our programming expenses will continue to increase, which may negatively impact our operating margin. We will attempt to mitigate increases in operating costs and expenses by growing revenue, particularly in our high-speed Internet, video and business services businesses, and through cost management.

Our operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 40.5% and 40.6%, respectively. Our operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 40.4% and 40.3%, respectively.

Cable Networks Segment—Revenue

Cable Networks revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 due to increases in distribution revenue and content licensing and other revenue, which were partially offset by decreases in advertising revenue.

Investment Income (Loss), Net

The components of investment income (loss), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are presented in a table in Note 6 to Comcast’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equity in Net Income (Losses) of Investees, Net

The changes in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 were primarily related to our equity method investments in Atairos Group, Inc. and Hulu, LLC. Atairos follows investment company accounting and records its investments at their fair values each reporting period with the net gains or losses reflected in its statement of income. We recognize our share of these gains and losses in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net. The losses at Hulu were driven by its higher programming and marketing costs. The equity in net income (losses) of Atairos and Hulu for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are presented in the table below.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included a gain of $108 million related to the sale of our investment in The Weather Channel’s product and technology businesses.

Consolidated Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 reflects an effective income tax rate that differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and adjustments associated with uncertain tax positions. In 2017, we prospectively adopted the new accounting guidance related to share-based compensation, which resulted in decreases in income tax expense of $59 million and $198 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. We expect our 2017 annual effective tax rate to be in the range of 35% to 37%, absent changes in tax laws or significant changes in uncertain tax positions. The expected annual effective tax rate includes the impact of the adoption of the new accounting guidance related to share-based compensation (see Note 2 to Comcast’s condensed consolidated financial statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our businesses generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements, including fixed charges, through our cash flows from operating activities; existing cash, cash equivalents and investments; available borrowings under our existing credit facilities; and our ability to obtain future external financing. We anticipate that we will continue to use a substantial portion of our cash flows in repaying our debt obligations, funding our capital expenditures, investing in business opportunities and returning capital to shareholders.

On April 13, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission announced the results of its spectrum auction. In the auction, NBCUniversal relinquished its spectrum rights in the New York, Philadelphia and Chicago designated market areas where NBC and Telemundo had overlapping spectrum. NBCUniversal received proceeds of $482 million in July 2017. In connection with the auction, we also acquired the rights to $1.7 billion of spectrum, which were recorded to other intangible assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. We had previously made a deposit of $1.8 billion to participate in the auction in the third quarter of 2016 and received a refund for amounts in excess of the purchase price in the second quarter of 2017.

The variance in changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily due to the timing of film and television spending, which was partially offset by the timing of collections on our receivables related to theatrical releases in the current year period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisted primarily of capital expenditures, purchases of investments, cash paid for intangible assets and acquisitions. Capital expenditures increased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to increased spending in our Cable Communications segment on continued

Table of Contents

investment in scalable infrastructure to increase network capacity and increased investment in line extensions primarily for the expansion of business services. NBCUniversal capital expenditures decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to the timing of real estate and infrastructure spending offset by continued investment at our Theme Parks segment. Purchases of investments for the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisted primarily of our cash capital contributions to Atairos of $994 million and our investment in Snap Inc. of $500 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisted primarily of repayments of debt, repurchases of common stock under our repurchase program and employee plans, the purchase of the remaining 49% noncontrolling interests in Universal Studios Japan, and dividend payments, which were partially offset by proceeds from borrowings.

We have made, and may from time to time in the future make, optional repayments on our debt obligations, which may include repurchases of our outstanding public notes and debentures, depending on various factors, such as market conditions. See Note 7 to Comcast’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our financing activities, including details of our debt repayments and borrowings.

Available Borrowings Under Credit Facilities

We also maintain significant availability under our lines of credit and commercial paper programs to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.

As of June 30, 2017, amounts available under our consolidated revolving credit facilities, net of amounts outstanding under our commercial paper programs and outstanding letters of credit, totaled $7.2 billion, which included $1.5 billion available under the NBCUniversal Enterprise revolving credit facility.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

Effective January 1, 2017, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase program authorization to $12 billion, which does not have an expiration date. Under the authorization, we may repurchase shares in the open market or in private transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased a total of 56 million shares of our Class A common stock for $2.1 billion. We expect to make $2.9 billion more in repurchases under this authorization during the remainder of 2017, subject to market conditions.

In addition, we paid $345 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to employee taxes associated with the administration of our share-based compensation plans.

In January 2017, our Board of Directors approved a 15% increase in our dividend to $0.63 per share on an annualized basis. In May 2017, our Board of Directors approved our second quarter dividend of $0.1575 per share to be paid in July 2017. We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, although each dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a more complete discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Under this authorization, we may repurchase shares in the open market or in private transactions. We expect to make $2.9 billion more in repurchases under this authorization during the remainder of 2017, subject to market conditions.

The total number of shares purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2017 does not include any shares received in the administration of employee share-based compensation plans.

ITEM 5: OTHER INFORMATION

Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act Disclosure

Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, companies are required, among other things, to disclose certain activities, transactions or dealings with the Government of Iran or entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Government of Iran. Disclosure is generally required even where the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and are de minimis. As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any activity, transaction or dealing during the three months ended June 30, 2017 that requires disclosure under the Act, except with respect to a January 2016 licensing agreement by a non-U.S. subsidiary of DreamWorks Animation prior to our August 2016 DreamWorks Animation acquisition. The agreement licensed a prior season of a children’s animated television series for a three-year, non-cancelable term and for a one-time fee of $5,200 to a broadcasting company that is owned and controlled by the Government of Iran. The broadcasting company paid the license fee in the first quarter of 2016. We believe that DreamWorks Animation conducted its licensing activity in compliance with applicable laws and that the license is for the permissible exportation of informational materials pursuant to certain statutory and regulatory exemptions from U.S. sanctions.

Employment Agreement

On July 26, 2017, Comcast Corporation entered into a new employment agreement with Brian L. Roberts, Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation, effective as of August 1, 2017. The new employment agreement provides for an initial term of employment through July 31, 2020, which term will be extended automatically so that the term of the agreement will always be three years, unless otherwise terminated by either party in accordance with the employment agreement. The new employment agreement does not change Mr. Roberts’ base salary or target bonus opportunity, in each case as provided under Mr. Roberts’ prior employment agreement. The new employment agreement sets forth the annual crediting contributions to Mr. Roberts’ deferred compensation plan account, with annual contributions increasing by 5% each year during the term of the agreement. The new employment agreement also provides for certain changes with respect to Mr. Roberts’ compensation following a termination of employment as a result of his disability, by Comcast Corporation without cause or by Mr. Roberts for good reason, in each case as set forth in the new employment agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions set forth in the new employment agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

Unless indicated otherwise, throughout these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we refer to NBCUniversal and its consolidated subsidiaries as “we,” “us” and “our.” We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires that all nonconsolidated equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method, be measured at fair value and that the changes in fair value be recognized in net income. The updated guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2018. The updated accounting guidance requires a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the year the guidance is adopted with certain exceptions. If we had adopted the provisions of the updated guidance as of January 1, 2017 for our equity investments classified as available-for-sale securities, primarily our investment in Snap Inc. (see Note 6), net income attributable to NBCUniversal would have decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 by $140 million and $139 million, respectively. We are currently in the process of determining the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on our cost method investments.

Note 3: Significant Transactions

FCC Spectrum Auction

On April 13, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission announced the results of its spectrum auction. In the auction, we relinquished our spectrum rights in the New York, Philadelphia and Chicago designated market areas (“DMAs”) where NBC and Telemundo had overlapping spectrum. We received proceeds of $482 million in July 2017. NBC and Telemundo stations will share broadcast signals in these DMAs.

Universal Studios Japan

On April 6, 2017, we acquired the remaining interests in Universal Studios Japan that we did not already own for $2.3 billion. The acquisition was funded through borrowings under our revolving credit agreement with Comcast. Because we maintained control of Universal Studios Japan, the difference between the consideration transferred and the recorded value of the noncontrolling interests, as well as the related accumulated other comprehensive income impact, were recorded to additional paid-in capital.

DreamWorks Animation

On August 22, 2016, Comcast acquired all of the outstanding stock of DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion. DreamWorks Animation’s stockholders received $41 in cash for each share of DreamWorks Animation common stock. DreamWorks Animation creates animated feature films, television series and specials, live entertainment, and related consumer products.

Following the acquisition, Comcast converted DreamWorks Animation to a limited liability company and contributed its equity to us as a capital contribution. The net assets contributed to us excluded deferred income taxes and other tax-related items recorded by Comcast. The results of operations for DreamWorks Animation are reported in our Filmed Entertainment segment following the acquisition date and are presented as if the initial equity contribution occurred on the date of Comcast’s acquisition.

Allocation of Purchase Price

The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities are to be recorded at their fair market values as of the acquisition date. We recorded the acquired assets and liabilities of DreamWorks Animation at their estimated fair values based on valuation analyses. In valuing acquired assets and liabilities, fair value estimates were primarily based on Level 3 inputs, including future expected cash flows, market rate assumptions and discount rates. The fair value of the assumed debt was primarily based on quoted market values. The fair value of the liability related to a tax receivable agreement that DreamWorks Animation had previously entered into with one of its former stockholders (the “tax receivable agreement”) was based on the contractual settlement provisions in the agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we updated the preliminary allocation of purchase price for DreamWorks Animation, which primarily resulted in increases to noncontrolling interests, intangible assets and goodwill and a decrease to working capital. The changes did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We may adjust these amounts further as valuations are finalized and we obtain information necessary to complete the analyses, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The table below presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of DreamWorks Animation.



Allocation of Purchase Price
(in millions)
Film and television costs	$	854
Intangible assets	396
Working capital	163
Debt	(381		)
Tax receivable agreement^(a)	(146		)

Identifiable net assets (liabilities) acquired	1,321
Noncontrolling interests	(337		)
Goodwill	2,789
Cash consideration transferred	$	3,773

(a)

The tax receivable agreement was settled immediately following the acquisition and the payment was recorded as an operating activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in the third quarter of 2016. Comcast made a separate cash capital contribution of $146 million to fund the settlement which was recorded as a financing activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in the third quarter of 2016.


(b)	Other included $289 million recorded to member’s capital that represented deferred income tax assets and other tax-related items recorded by Comcast but excluded from the net assets contributed to us.

Revenue and net income attributable to the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Note 4: Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into transactions with Comcast.

We generate revenue from Comcast primarily from the distribution of our cable network programming, the fees received under retransmission consent agreements in our Broadcast Television segment and, to a lesser extent, the sale of advertising and our owned programming, and we incur expenses primarily related to advertising and various support services provided by Comcast to us.

Comcast is also the counterparty to one of our contractual obligations. As of June 30, 2017, the carrying value of the liability associated with this contractual obligation was $383 million.

The following tables present transactions with Comcast and its consolidated subsidiaries that are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Method

Snap

In March 2017, Comcast acquired an interest in Snap Inc. as part of its initial public offering. On March 31, 2017, Comcast contributed its investment in Snap to us as an equity contribution of $662 million, which was recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of equity based on the fair value of the investment as of March 31, 2017. We have classified our investment as an available-for-sale security. Snap is a camera company whose primary product is Snapchat, a camera app that was created to help people communicate through short videos and images.

Equity Method

The Weather Channel

Note 7: Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2017, our debt, excluding the note payable to Comcast, had a carrying value of $12.3 billion and an estimated fair value of $13.5 billion. The estimated fair value of our publicly traded debt was primarily based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market values for the debt. The estimated fair value of debt for which there are no quoted market prices was based on Level 2 inputs that use interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Cross-Guarantee Structure

We, Comcast and a 100% owned cable holding company subsidiary of Comcast (“CCCL Parent”) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed each other’s debt securities, including the $7 billion Comcast revolving credit facility due 2021. As of June 30, 2017, outstanding debt securities of $46.1 billion of Comcast and CCCL Parent were subject to the guarantee structure.

We do not, however, guarantee the obligations of NBCUniversal Enterprise with respect to its $4.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, commercial paper program, or $725 million liquidation preference of Series A cumulative preferred stock.

The Universal Studios Japan term loan is not subject to the cross-guarantee structure, however it has a separate guarantee from Comcast.

Note 8: Share-Based Compensation

Comcast maintains share-based compensation plans that consist primarily of awards of restricted share units and stock options to certain employees and directors as part of its approach to long-term incentive compensation. Additionally, through its employee stock purchase plans, employees are able to purchase shares of Comcast common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. Certain of our employees participate in these plans and the expense associated with their participation is settled in cash with Comcast.

Note 10: Financial Data by Business Segment

We present our operations in four reportable business segments:


•	Cable Networks: Consists primarily of our national cable networks, our regional sports and news networks, our international cable networks, and our cable television studio production operations.


•	Broadcast Television: Consists primarily of the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, our NBC and Telemundo owned local broadcast television stations, the NBC Universo national cable network, and our broadcast television studio production operations.


•	Filmed Entertainment: Consists primarily of the operations of Universal Pictures, which produces, acquires, markets and distributes filmed entertainment worldwide; our films are also produced under the Illumination, Focus Features and DreamWorks Animation names.


•	Theme Parks: Consists primarily of our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan.

We use Adjusted EBITDA (formerly operating income before depreciation and amortization) to evaluate the profitability of our operating segments and the components of net income attributable to NBCUniversal below Adjusted EBITDA are not separately evaluated. Our financial data by business segment is presented in the tables below.

(d)

We use Adjusted EBITDA as the measure of profit or loss for our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to NBCUniversal before net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, other income (expense) items, net, and depreciation and amortization, and excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets, if any. Other income (expense) items, net include interest expense, investment income (loss), equity in net income (losses) of investees, and other income (expense), net (as stated in our condensed consolidated statement of income). This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash amortization expense that results from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. Additionally, it is unaffected by our capital and tax structures and by our investment activities. We use this measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. We believe that this measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to NBCUniversal, net cash provided by operating activities, or other measures of performance or liquidity we have reported in accordance with GAAP. Our reconciliation of the aggregate amount of Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments to consolidated income before income taxes is presented in the table below.
