Comcast Reports 2nd Quarter 2026
About this update from Comcast Corporation
Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. “ Second quarter results show continued progress against our strategic priorities, " said Brian L. Roberts and Mike Cavanagh, co-CEOs of Comcast Corporation. " In Connectivity & Platforms, our strategic pivot in broadband is gaining traction, and we are seeing that progress extend across the broader connectivity portfolio. We delivered our best wireless quarter ever, surpassing 10 million total lines, while penetration remains below 7% of addressable wireless lines in our footprint - giving us substantial runway to deepen convergence and grow customer relationships. Business Services also continued its industry-leading growth, reinforcing the strength and breadth of our portfolio. Within Content & Experiences, Media delivered mid-single digit EBITDA growth and Peacock reached profitability for the first time, supported by a broad slate of sports, entertainment and major live events that drove strong engagement across our platforms. Our Studios continued to perform at a high level across franchises, animation, originals and specialty titles, capped by the recent success of The Odyssey. While we are seeing some near-term softness in Theme Parks, we remain confident in the long-term opportunity, supported by our world-class brands, attractive locations and proven ability to create attractions and experiences that drive real consumer demand. Across the company, we generated $4.6 billion of free cash flow, returned $2.1 billion to shareholders and announced our intention to separate NBCUniversal and Sky - an important step toward creating two focused companies with the financial strength and flexibility to pursue their respective growth strategies.

Revenue for Residential Connectivity & Platforms decreased compared to the prior year period, reflecting decreases in video, domestic broadband and other revenue, partially offset by increases in domestic wireless service, domestic wireless equipment, international connectivity and advertising revenue. Domestic broadband revenue decreased due to lower average rates and a decline in the number of domestic broadband customers. Domestic wireless service revenue increased due to an increase in the number of customer lines. Domestic wireless equipment revenue increased due to an increase in device sales. International connectivity revenue increased primarily due to an increase in wireless revenue, reflecting higher equipment and services revenue, as well as the positive impact of foreign currency. Video revenue decreased primarily due to a decline in the number of video customers. Advertising revenue increased primarily due to higher domestic political advertising and higher revenue from our advanced advertising business, partially offset by lower domestic nonpolitical advertising and lower international advertising. Other revenue decreased primarily due to lower residential wireline voice revenue, driven by a decline in the number of customers. Adjusted EBITDA for Residential Connectivity & Platforms decreased due to lower revenue, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Programming expenses decreased primarily due to a decline in the number of domestic video customers. Non-programming expenses increased primarily reflecting an increase in direct product costs, mainly due to growth in our domestic wireless business, higher marketing and promotion costs and the impact of foreign currency. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 37.7%.

Revenue for Content & Experiences increased compared to the prior year period driven by Media, which included $440 million of incremental revenue from the FIFA World Cup, and Studios. Adjusted EBITDA for Content & Experiences increased primarily due to growth in Studios and Media, partially offset by a decline in Theme Parks. Media ($ in millions) 2nd Quarter 2026 2025 6 Change Revenue Domestic Advertising $2,163 $1,395 55.0 % Excluding FIFA World Cup 10 1,723 1,395 23.5 % Domestic Distribution 1,993 1,632 22.1 % International Networks 1,330 1,254 6.1 % Other 204 261 (21.9 %) Total Revenue $5,691 $4,543 25.3 % Excluding FIFA World Cup 10 5,250 4,543 15.6 % Operating Expenses 4,983 3,860 29.1 % Adjusted EBITDA $708 $683 3.7 % Revenue for Media increased primarily due to higher domestic advertising and domestic distribution revenue. Excluding $440 million of incremental revenue from the FIFA World Cup, Media revenue increased 15.6%. Domestic advertising revenue increased, including the impact of the FIFA World Cup. Excluding the incremental revenue associated with this event, domestic advertising revenue increased reflecting the positive impact of the NBA this quarter and higher revenue at Peacock. Domestic distribution revenue increased primarily due to higher revenue at Peacock, driven by higher average rates and an increase in paid subscribers compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for Media increased due to higher revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects higher programming costs associated with NBA rights and the FIFA World Cup in the current year period. Media results include $1.9 billion of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA 11 of $189 million related to Peacock, which includes amounts attributable to the FIFA World Cup, compared to $1.2 billion of revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA 11 loss of $101 million in the prior year period.

Revenue for Studios increased due to higher theatrical revenue, driven by the successful performance of recent releases, including The Super Mario Galaxy Movie , Obsession and the international distribution of Michael . Content licensing revenue was consistent as lower content licensing revenue at our film studios was offset by higher content licensing revenue at our television studios. Adjusted EBITDA for Studios increased due to higher revenue, which more than offset higher operating expenses. The higher operating expenses reflected higher programming and production expenses, primarily due to higher costs associated with theatrical releases, as well as higher marketing and promotion expenses primarily due to increased spending on recent and upcoming theatrical releases. Theme Parks ($ in millions) 2nd Quarter 2026 2025 6 Change Revenue $2,413 $2,349 2.7% Operating Expenses 1,805 1,708 5.7% Adjusted EBITDA $609 $641 (5.1%) Revenue for Theme Parks increased primarily due to higher revenue at our theme parks in Orlando driven by the successful opening of Epic Universe in May 2025, partially offset by lower revenue at our international parks. Adjusted EBITDA for Theme Parks decreased, reflecting higher operating expenses, which more than offset higher revenue. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to operating costs associated with our domestic parks. Headquarters & Other Content & Experiences Headquarters & Other includes overhead, personnel costs and costs associated with corporate initiatives. Headquarters & Other Adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter was $214 million, compared to a loss of $201 million in the prior year period. Eliminations Amounts represent eliminations of transactions between our Content & Experiences segments, the most significant being content licensing between the Studios and Media segments, which are affected by the timing of recognition of content licenses. Revenue eliminations were $435 million, compared to $604 million in the prior year period, and Adjusted EBITDA eliminations were a benefit of $25 million, compared to a benefit of $56 million in the prior year period. Corporate, Other and Eliminations ($ in millions) 2nd Quarter 2026 2025 6 Change Corporate & Other Revenue $368 $322 14.5 % Operating Expenses 742 609 21.9 % Adjusted EBITDA ($374 ) ($287 ) (30.2 %) Eliminations Revenue ($1,324 ) ($1,217 ) 8.8 % Operating Expenses (1,327 ) (1,237 ) 7.3 % Adjusted EBITDA $3 $20 (83.4 %) Amounts for 2025 exclude the impacts of Versant and our Sky operations in Germany. Amounts for 2026 exclude the impacts of our Sky operations in Germany through the date of sale. See Table 8 for the reconciliation to consolidated results. Corporate & Other Corporate & Other primarily includes overhead and personnel costs; our regional sports networks; and Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Corporate & Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily reflecting higher costs related to corporate functions and lower revenue associated with our regional sports networks. Eliminations Amounts represent eliminations of transactions between Connectivity & Platforms, Content & Experiences and other businesses, the most significant being distribution of television network programming between the Media and Residential Connectivity & Platforms segments. Revenue eliminations were $1.3 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in the prior year period, and Adjusted EBITDA eliminations were a benefit of $3 million compared to a benefit of $20 million in the prior year period. Notes: 1 Certain financial information is presented on a pro forma basis in connection with the separation of Versant, which was completed on January 2, 2026 (the “Versant Separation”), and the sale of our Sky operations in Germany, which was completed on May 31, 2026 (the "Sale"). The pro forma financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented as if the Versant Separation and the Sale had both occurred on January 1, 2024. The pro forma information is primarily based on historical results of operations and includes pro forma adjustments in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X that are directly attributable to the Versant Separation and the Sale. For the Versant Separation, this includes adjustments related to the commercial services agreement for the sale and use of Versant’s advertising and promotional inventory. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future results. See Table 8 for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. 2 We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders, respectively, adjusted to exclude the effects of the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, investments that investors may want to evaluate separately (such as based on fair value) and the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect period-over-period comparisons. See Table 5 for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. 3 We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. See Table 4 for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure. 4 All earnings per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis. 5 We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets. From time to time, we may exclude from Free Cash Flow the impact of certain cash receipts or payments (such as significant legal settlements) that affect period-to-period comparability. Cash payments related to certain capital or intangible assets, such as the construction of Universal Beijing Resort, are presented separately in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and are therefore excluded from capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets for Free Cash Flow. See Table 4 for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure. 6 Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we updated the composition of our segments to align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to our chief operating decision maker, including (1) adjusting the Media segment to exclude the historical results of Versant; (2) reclassifying the results of our regional sports networks to Corporate and other from the Media segment; (3) reclassifying the results of Xumo, our streaming platform joint venture with Charter Communications, to the Residential Connectivity & Platforms segment from Corporate and other; (4) reclassifying certain shared expenses into the related Media, Studios and Theme Parks segments from Content & Experiences Headquarters & Other; and (5) adjusting the Media segment and Versant for the effects of our commercial services agreement. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the current year presentation. 7 Constant currency growth rates are calculated by comparing the results for each comparable prior year period adjusted to reflect the average exchange rates from each current year period presented rather than the actual exchange rates that were in effect during the respective periods. See Table 6 for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. 8 Residential Connectivity & Platforms customer relationships and International Residential Connectivity & Platforms customer relationships were updated in the first quarter of 2026 due to a conforming change in methodology, resulting in a decrease of 125,000 customers. There was no impact to net additions and information for all periods have been recast on a comparable basis. 9 Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, commission revenue from the sale of certain direct to consumer (“DTC”) streaming services is presented in domestic broadband revenue or video revenue based on whether a customer is entitled to receive the DTC streaming service through a broadband or video service offering. Domestic broadband revenue also includes revenue from streaming devices available to our broadband customers. Previously, all of these amounts were in video revenue. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the current year presentation. 10 From time to time, we may present adjusted information (e.g., Adjusted Revenues) to exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges affecting period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. See Table 7 for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. 11 Adjusted EBITDA is the measure of profit or loss for our segments. From time to time, we may present Adjusted EBITDA for components of our reportable segments, such as Peacock. We believe these measures are useful to evaluate our financial results and provide a basis of comparison to others, although our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA for components are presented on a consistent basis with the respective segments and disaggregated in accordance with GAAP. Numerical information is presented on a rounded basis using actual amounts, unless otherwise noted. The change in Peacock paid subscribers is calculated using rounded paid subscriber amounts. Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding.
