Collins Aerospace had fourth quarter 2024 reported sales of $7,537 million, up 6 percent versus the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by a 13 percent increase in defense and a 12 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, partially offset by a 6 percent decrease in commercial OE. The increase in defense sales was driven by higher volume across multiple programs and platforms, including new programs awarded in 2024. The increase in commercial aftermarket sales was driven by continued growth in commercial air traffic, and the decrease in commercial OE sales was driven by lower narrow-body volume. Adjusted sales* of $7,537 million, were up 8 percent versus the prior year.
Collins Aerospace reported operating profit of $1,106 million, down 2 percent versus the prior year. This included a $155 million charge related to the impairment of contract fulfillment costs which was partially offset by a $99 million gain on the sale of the Hoist & Winch business. Q4 2023 included a benefit of $112 million from a customer settlement. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $1,207 million was up 17 percent versus the prior year. Operationally, the increase was driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and defense volume, which was partially offset by lower commercial OE volume and unfavorable commercial OE mix.

Pratt & Whitney had fourth quarter 2024 reported and adjusted sales of $7,569 million, up 18 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by a 31 percent increase in commercial OE, a 17 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, and an 8 percent increase in military. The increase in commercial sales was driven by increased deliveries and favorable OE mix in Large Commercial Engines, and higher commercial aftermarket volume. The increase in military sales was driven by higher volume on F135 production, the F135 Engine Core Upgrade program, and F135 sustainment, which was partially offset by lower sustainment volume across legacy platforms, including the F100 and F117.
Pratt & Whitney reported operating profit of $504 million, up 32 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by favorable volume and mix in Large Commercial Engines OE, favorable mix in Pratt Canada aftermarket, and drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and military volume. Pratt & Whitney also benefited from an approximately $70 million insurance recovery. Reported operating profit included a $157 million charge related to a customer bankruptcy. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $717 million, was up 77 percent versus the prior year.

Raytheon had fourth quarter 2024 reported and adjusted sales of $7,157 million, up 4 percent versus the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by higher volume on land and air defense systems, including Global Patriot, NASAMS and counter-UAS programs, as well as higher volume from the restart of contracts with a Middle East customer. This was partially offset by the impact from the divestiture of the Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business completed in the first quarter of 2024 and lower volume on air and space defense systems. Excluding the impact of the divestiture, sales were up 10 percent versus the prior year*.
Raytheon reported operating profit of $824 million, up 36 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by drop through on higher volume, improved net productivity, and favorable mix which was partially offset by the impact from the divestiture of the Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business. Reported operating profit included a $102 million benefit related to reserve adjustments associated with the restart of contracts with a Middle East customer. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $728 million was up 18 percent versus the prior year.
*Adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted effective tax rate and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), adjusted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS and expected cash flow from operations) is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. See “Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
RTX Corporation (“RTX” or “the Company”) reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the Company’s ongoing business performance. Other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this Appendix. Certain non-GAAP financial adjustments are also described in this Appendix. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:
Non-GAAP measure
Definition
Adjusted net sales / Adjusted sales
Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding net significant and/or non-recurring items1 (hereinafter referred to as “net significant and/or non-recurring items”).
Organic sales
Organic sales represents the change in consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin
Adjusted operating profit (loss) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted operating profit margin represents adjusted operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted net sales.
Segment operating profit (loss) and margin
Segment operating profit (loss) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure) excluding Acquisition Accounting Adjustments2, the FAS/CAS operating adjustment3, Corporate expenses and other unallocated items, and Eliminations and other. Segment operating profit margin represents segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of segment sales (net sales, excluding Eliminations and other).
Adjusted segment sales
Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure) excluding eliminations and other and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin
Adjusted segment operating profit (loss) represents segment operating profit (loss) excluding restructuring costs, and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted segment operating profit margin represents adjusted segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted segment sales (adjusted net sales excluding Eliminations and other).
Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income represents net income (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted effective tax rate
Adjusted effective tax rate represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure), excluding the tax impact of restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing RTX’s ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of RTX’s common stock and distribution of earnings to shareowners.
1 Net significant and/or non-recurring items represent significant nonoperational items and/or significant operational items that may occur at irregular intervals.
2 Acquisition Accounting Adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, the amortization of the property, plant and equipment fair value adjustment acquired through acquisitions, the amortization of customer contractual obligations related to loss making or below market contracts acquired, and goodwill impairment, if applicable.
3 The FAS/CAS operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements of GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) primarily related to our Raytheon segment.
When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted EPS, adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow, on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures, as described above, generally are not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Description
Benefits related to litigation matters
The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 includes a net sales benefit of $112 million and $55 million, respectively and a corresponding net operating profit benefit of $119 million and $62 million, respectively related to the settlement of two customer litigation matters at Collins. Management has determined that the nature and significance of these settlements are considered unusual and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Segment and portfolio transformation and divestiture costs
The quarters and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 include certain segment and portfolio transformation costs incurred in connection with the 2023 completed segment realignment as well as separation costs incurred in advance of the completion of certain divestitures.
Charge associated with initiating alternative titanium sources
The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a net pre-tax charge of $0.2 billion related to the recognition of unfavorable purchase commitments and an impairment of contract fulfillment costs associated with initiating alternative titanium sources at Collins. These charges were recorded as a result of the Canadian government’s imposition of new sanctions in February 2024, which included U.S.- and German-based Russian-owned entities from which we source titanium for use in our Canadian operations. Management has determined that these impacts are directly attributable to the sanctions, incremental to similar costs incurred for reasons other than those related to the sanctions and has determined that the nature of the charge is considered significant and unusual, and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Impairment of contract fulfillment costs
The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 include a net pre-tax charge of $0.2 billion related to an impairment of contract fulfillment costs as a result of a contract cancellation during the fourth quarter of 2024 at Collins. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the charge is considered unusual and, therefore not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Powder Metal charge
The twelve months ended December 31, 2023 includes a net pre-tax charge of $2.9 billion related to the Pratt powder metal matter during the third quarter of 2023. The charge is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a reduction of sales of $5.4 billion which was partially offset by a net reduction of cost of sales of $2.5 billion primarily representing our partners’ 49% share of this charge. The charge includes the Company’s current best estimate of expected customer compensation for the estimated duration of the disruption as well as the third quarter Estimate-at-Completion (EAC) adjustment impact of this matter to Pratt & Whitney’s long-term maintenance contracts. Management has determined that these items are directly attributable to the powder metal matter, incremental to similar costs (or income) incurred for reasons other than those related to the powder metal matter and not expected to recur, and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Charge related to a customer insolvency
The twelve months ended December 31, 2023 includes a net pre-tax charge of $0.2 billion related to a customer insolvency during the second quarter of 2023. The charge primarily relates to Contract assets and Customer financing assets exposures with the customer. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the charge is considered unusual and, therefore not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Expected settlement of a litigation matter
The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a pre-tax charge of $34 million reflecting the expected settlement value relating to a litigation matter at Pratt & Whitney. Management has determined that the impact is directly attributable to the expected legal settlement and that the nature of the charge is considered non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Customer bankruptcy
The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 include a net pre-tax charge of approximately $0.2 billion related to a customer bankruptcy during the fourth quarter of 2024 at Pratt & Whitney. The charge primarily relates to contract asset exposures with the customer. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the charge is considered unusual and, therefore not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Contract termination
The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a pre-tax charge of $0.6 billion related to the termination of a fixed price development contract with a foreign customer at Raytheon. The charge includes the write-off of remaining contract assets and settlement with the customer. Management has determined that these impacts are directly attributable to the termination, incremental to similar costs incurred for reasons other than those attributable to the termination and has determined that the nature of the pre-tax charge is considered significant and unusual and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Gain on sale of business, net of transaction and other related costs
The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a pre-tax gain, net of transaction and other related costs, of $0.1 billion associated with the completed sale of the Hoist & Winch business at Collins. The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 also includes a pre-tax gain, net of transaction and other related costs, of $0.4 billion associated with the completed sale of the Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services (CIS) business at Raytheon. Management has determined that the nature of these net gains on the divestitures is considered significant and non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Middle East contracts restart adjustments
The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a net operating profit benefit of $0.1 billion primarily related to reserve and contract loss provision adjustments as a result of restarting work under certain contracts with a Middle East customer. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the benefit is considered unusual, therefore not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Prior year impact from R&D capitalization IRS notice
The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 includes a net pre-tax charge of $9 million and $39 million, respectively and a tax expense increase of $5 million and $13 million, respectively related to the 2022 impact of an IRS notice issued in September 2023 related to the capitalization of research and experimental expenditures for tax purposes. Management has determined that these items are directly attributable to the IRS notice and represents the impact to 2022, incremental to similar costs (or income) incurred for reasons other than the tax law change and not expected to recur, and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Tax audit settlements
The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a tax benefit of $0.3 billion recognized as a result of the closure of the examination phase of multiple federal tax audits. In addition, there was a pre-tax charge of $68 million for the write-off of certain tax related indemnity receivables and a pre-tax gain on the reversal of $78 million of interest accruals, both directly associated with these tax audit settlements. Management has determined that the nature of these impacts related to the tax audit settlements is considered significant and non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Legal matters
The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes charges of $0.9 billion related to the expected resolution of several outstanding legal matters. The charge includes an additional accrual of $0.3 billion to resolve the previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations of defective pricing claims for certain legacy Raytheon Company contracts entered into between 2011 and 2013 and in 2017; an additional accrual of $0.4 billion to resolve the previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations of improper payments made by Raytheon Company and its joint venture, Thales-Raytheon Systems, in connection with certain Middle East contracts since 2012; and an accrual of $0.3 billion related to certain voluntarily disclosed export controls violations, primarily identified in connection with the integration of Rockwell Collins and, to a lesser extent, Raytheon Company, including certain violations expected to be resolved pursuant to a consent agreement with the Department of State. Management has determined that these impacts are directly attributable to these legacy legal matters and that the nature of the charges are considered significant and unusual and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.
Tax matters and related indemnification
The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes the impact of a recent favorable international tax court ruling related to certain tax payments made by a previously separated entity. As a result of this ruling, and the expected reimbursement of international taxes to the previously separated entity, the Company will owe additional U.S. income tax of $0.2 billion and related interest. The Company recorded a pre-tax benefit of $0.2 billion to recognize recovery of the additional taxes and interest owed pursuant to a tax matters agreement entered into in connection with the separation. There was no net income impact in 2024 as a result of this adjustment. We also recognized an income tax benefit of $56 million in response to favorable U.S. Tax Court rulings issued to unrelated taxpayers, but with facts similar to ours. The nature of the tax item in the rulings is subject to the tax matters agreement with previously separated entities and therefore we recorded a pre-tax charge of $32 million for the indemnified amounts. Management has determined that the nature of these impacts to both pre-tax income and income tax expense is considered significant and non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance.

Divests its geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio to global technology firm SLB in order to sharpen focus on proprietary data and insightsLaunches Titan, a new customer facing AI-powered platform for upstream data and insightsPartners with SLB to distribute S&P Global Energy data and develop new tools
NEW YORK, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, S&P Global announced strategic innovations and changes to its upstream energy business, beginning with a definitive agreement to sell S&P Global Energy’s geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio to SLB, a global technology company driving energy innovation across more than 100 countries. This portfolio of subsurface and engineering software, widely used by U.S. onshore and unconventional operators, includes Kingdom Software, Petra, Harmony Enterprise, Analytics Explorer, SubPUMP, PowerTools, FieldDIRECT, Piper, WellTest, and The Element Platform, together with associated business services.
In addition, S&P Global Energy will launch an AI-powered upstream data platform known as Titan, designed to transform how customers discover, analyze, and act on high-quality data and insights. Built on comprehensive global coverage spanning 113 countries, Titan will serve an estimated 110,000 users across 4,000 client organizations, scaling from individual analysts to global enterprises.
Currently in beta testing with select customers, Titan is scheduled for full commercial launch later this year. The platform consolidates content and analytics into a single, high-performance workspace that accelerates critical decision-making. Titan differentiates through an AI-Powered experience that enables anticipatory discovery, surfacing relevant patterns before users need to search, and helping teams translate upstream market signals into faster commercial and strategic actions.
“This new strategic direction for our upstream business will allow us to transform a core part of our business and deliver enhanced value to our customers,” said Dave Ernsberger, President, S&P Global Energy. “Backed by an innovative new AI-powered platform, Titan, that will fundamentally change how our upstream data is connected and delivered, we are taking a significant leap forward in how we serve global energy markets as the most trusted provider of data and insights. These new investments could not come at a more important time as the world navigates a challenging energy environment, powered by the data and insights we provide.”
Along with launching Titan, divesting these software assets will allow S&P Global Energy to focus on providing world class data and insights and pursue a channel-agnostic approach toward the distribution of its content. As part of this transaction, S&P Global Energy will continue to distribute its leading proprietary data through the divested geoscience and petroleum engineering workflow tools. The parties have also entered an agreement to expand their partnership through further data distribution and collaboration on building new AI models to transform upstream business use cases.
“Unconventional markets demand speed, scale and efficiency,” said Olivier Le Peuch, Chief Executive Officer, SLB. “This software portfolio is widely used by U.S. land operators in their daily workflows. By integrating these capabilities with our industrial-scale digital platforms and AI technologies we can serve customers across the full spectrum of subsurface and planning needs.”
SLB’s upstream energy sector tools and services are designed to deliver insights and manage data to meet diverse client needs across exploration, production, logistics, and midstream infrastructure including pipelines, storage terminals, and ports. The customers include national and international energy companies, and independents, along with midstream-downstream operating companies.
The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2026 or early 2027. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

In thousands, except per customer and penetration data. See footnotes to unaudited summary of operating statistics on page 7 of the addendum of this news release. The footnotes contain important disclosures regarding the definitions used for these operating statistics. All percentages are calculated using whole numbers. Minor differences may exist due to rounding.
First quarter total Internet customers decreased by 120,000, compared to a decline of 59,000 during the first quarter of 2025. Spectrum Internet delivers the fastest Internet speeds1 in the nation. Spectrum is evolving its connectivity network to offer symmetrical and multi-gigabit Internet speeds across its entire footprint and has launched symmetrical Internet service in several markets. Spectrum expects to complete its network evolution initiative in 2027. Spectrum Advanced WiFi provides customers an optimized home network while providing greater control of connected devices with enhanced security and privacy. In February, Spectrum launched its Invincible WiFi™ product, a tri-band advanced WiFi 7 router that integrates 5G cellular and battery backup to keep customers seamlessly and fully connected during a power outage or network disruption. In the first quarter, Spectrum launched its $1,000 savings guarantee; customers signing up to Spectrum Internet and switching two or more mobile lines from Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile are now guaranteed $1,000 of savings in their first year, or Spectrum will cover the difference.
During the first quarter of 2026, Charter added 368,000 total mobile lines, compared to growth of 507,000 during the first quarter of 2025. Spectrum Mobile offers the fastest overall speeds,2 with plans that include 5G access, do not require contracts and include taxes and fees in the price. Spectrum Mobile is central to Charter’s converged network strategy to provide customers a differentiated connectivity experience with highly competitive, simple data plans and pricing.
Total video customers decreased by 60,000 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a decline of 181,000 in the first quarter of 2025, with the improvement driven by simplified pricing and packaging and benefits from the inclusion of programmers’ streaming applications in Spectrum’s expanded basic video packages. As of March 31, 2026, Charter had 12.5 million total video customers.
Spectrum TV Select video customers now receive up to approximately $120 per month (soon to be approximately $126 per month) of programmers’ streaming application retail value at no extra cost, including the ad-supported versions of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, AMC+, ViX, Tennis Channel and Fox One, with Discovery+ launching soon. In October 2025, Spectrum unveiled the Spectrum App Store, an innovative digital marketplace where Spectrum TV customers can activate, manage and upgrade the streaming apps included with their video plans. The Spectrum App Store also allows Spectrum customers without a traditional TV package to purchase and manage streaming apps à la carte.
During the first quarter of 2026, total wireline voice customers declined by 174,000, compared to a decline of 278,000 in the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2026, Charter had 5.9 million total wireline voice customers.

Revenues
First quarter revenue decreased by 1.0% year-over-year to $13.6 billion, driven by lower residential video revenue partly due to costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue and lower residential Internet revenue, partly offset by an increase in residential mobile service revenue and higher mobile device revenue. Excluding advertising sales revenue and costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, first quarter total revenue grew by 0.1% year-over-year.
Residential revenue totaled $10.5 billion in the first quarter, a decrease of 2.7% year-over-year, driven by a year-over-year decline in residential customers of 1.5% and a decrease in monthly residential revenue per residential customer of 1.4%.
First quarter 2026 monthly residential revenue per residential customer totaled $118.44, a decrease of 1.4% compared to the prior year period. The decline was driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter’s video customer base, $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups, rate adjustments and the growth of Spectrum Mobile. Excluding costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue, monthly residential revenue per residential customer increased 0.3% compared to the prior year period.
Internet revenue declined 1.3% year-over-year to $5.9 billion, driven by a decline in Internet customers year-over year, partly offset by a favorable change in bundled revenue allocation year-over-year, promotional rate step-ups and rate adjustments.
First quarter mobile service revenue totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of 15.1% year-over-year, driven by mobile line growth and rate adjustments, partly offset by less favorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year.
Video revenue totaled $3.3 billion in the first quarter, a decrease of 9.2% compared to the prior year period, driven by a higher mix of lower priced video packages within Charter’s video customer base, $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period, more unfavorable bundled revenue allocation year-over-year and a decline in video customers during the last year, partly offset by promotional rate step-ups and video rate adjustments that pass through programmer rate increases.
Voice revenue decreased by 5.0% year-over-year to $338 million, driven by a decline in wireline voice customers, partly offset by voice rate adjustments.
Commercial revenue increased by 1.0% year-over-year to $1.8 billion, driven by mid-market and large business revenue growth of 2.1% year-over-year and an increase in small business revenue of 0.2%. Mid-market and large business revenue excluding wholesale increased by 2.8% year-over-year, mostly reflecting PSU growth. The year-over-year increase in first quarter 2026 small business revenue was driven by a 0.9% increase year-over-year in monthly small business revenue per small business customer, mostly offset by a decline in small business customer relationships year-over-year.
First quarter advertising sales revenue of $358 million increased by 5.3% compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher political revenue. Excluding political revenue in both periods, advertising sales revenue decreased by 3.4% year-over-year driven by lower linear advertising revenue, partly offset by higher streaming advertising revenue.
Other revenue totaled $906 million in the first quarter, an increase of 14.2% compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher mobile device sales.
Operating Costs and Expenses
First quarter total operating costs and expenses declined 0.2% year-over-year to $8.0 billion driven by lower programming costs, mostly offset by higher other costs of revenue.
First quarter programming costs decreased by $214 million, or 9.3% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting $218 million of costs allocated to programmer streaming applications and netted within video revenue versus $47 million in the prior year period, a higher mix of lower cost packages within Charter’s video customer base and fewer video customers, partly offset by contractual programming rate increases and renewals.
Other costs of revenue increased by $181 million, or 11.4% year-over-year, primarily driven by higher mobile service direct costs, higher mobile device sales and higher advertising sales costs given higher political revenue.
Field and technology operations expenses decreased by $24 million, or 1.8% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower labor expense.
Customer operations expenses decreased by $6 million, or 0.8% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense.
Marketing and residential sales expenses decreased by $30 million or 3.2% year-over-year, due to lower marketing and labor expenses.
Transition expenses represent incremental costs incurred to prepare for the integration of the previously announced Cox transaction.
Other expenses increased by $57 million, or 5.3% as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to one-time benefits of $75 million in the prior year period.
Net Income Attributable to Charter Shareholders
Net income attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, with lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher depreciation and amortization, partly offset by a decrease in other operating expenses due to a non-strategic asset impairment charge in the first quarter of 2025.
Net income per basic common share attributable to Charter shareholders totaled $9.27 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $8.59 during the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of a 11.4% decrease in basic weighted average common shares outstanding versus the prior year period, partly offset by the factors described above.
Adjusted EBITDA
First quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $5.6 billion declined by 2.2% year-over-year, reflecting a decline in revenue of 1.0%, partly offset by a decrease in operating costs and expenses of 0.2%. Excluding transition expenses, Adjusted EBITDA declined 1.8% year-over-year.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures totaled $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $456 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 given timing of spend, with higher upgrade/rebuild (primarily network evolution) and CPE, partly offset by lower line extension spend.
Charter continues to expect full year 2026 capital expenditures, excluding impacts from the previously announced Cox transaction, to total approximately $11.4 billion. The actual amount of capital expenditures in 2026 will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of Charter’s network evolution and expansion initiatives, supply chain timing and growth rates in Charter’s residential and commercial businesses.
Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow
During the first quarter of 2026, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $4.3 billion, an increase from $4.2 billion in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a less unfavorable change in working capital, partly offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher cash paid for interest.
Free cash flow in the first quarter of 2026 totaled $1.4 billion, a decrease of $192 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease in free cash flow was driven by higher capital expenditures, partly offset by a less unfavorable change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures and higher net cash flows from operating activities.
Liquidity & Financing
As of March 31, 2026, total principal amount of debt was $94.3 billion and Charter’s credit facilities provided approximately $4.6 billion of additional liquidity in excess of Charter’s $517 million cash position.
In January 2026, CCO Holdings, LLC (“CCO Holdings”) and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. jointly issued $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due February 2033 at par and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due February 2036 at par. In February 2026, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp. redeemed $750 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.500% senior notes due 2026 and $2.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.125% senior notes due 2027.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Charter purchased 4.3 million shares of Charter Class A common stock for $963 million.

Additional Information Available on Website
The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which will be posted on the “Results & SEC Filings” section of the Company’s investor relations website at ir.charter.com, when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A slide presentation to accompany the conference call and a trending schedule containing historical customer and financial data will also be available in the “Results & SEC Filings” section.
Use of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Information
The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are reconciled to net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the Addendum to this release.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income (expenses), net and other operating (income) expenses, net, such as special charges, merger and acquisition costs and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company’s businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company’s capital structure or investment activities. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.
Management and Charter’s board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter’s performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company’s credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the SEC). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by its operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. The Company’s debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were $366 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
