MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

MD&A is organized as follows:

 

   

Overview.  This section provides a general description of TWC’s business, as well as any recent developments the Company believes are important in understanding the results of operations and financial condition or in understanding anticipated future trends.

 

   

Financial statement presentation.  This section provides a summary of how the Company’s operations are presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

   

Results of operations.  This section provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

   

Financial condition and liquidity.  This section provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of March 31, 2013 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

   

Caution concerning forward-looking statements.  This section provides a description of the use of forward-looking information appearing in this report, including in MD&A and the consolidated financial statements. Such information is based on management’s current expectations about future events, which are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”) for a discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Company.

OVERVIEW

TWC is among the largest providers of video, high-speed data and voice services in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered cable systems located mainly in five geographic areas – New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, the Midwest (including Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin), Southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of March 31, 2013, TWC served approximately 15.3 million customers (approximately 14.7 million residential services customers and 579,000 business services customers) who subscribed to one or more of its three primary services, totaling approximately 28.9 million primary service units.

TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services to residential and business services customers over the Company’s broadband cable systems. TWC’s business services also include networking and transport services (including cell tower backhaul services) and enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, TWC generated total revenue of approximately $5.5 billion. Of this total, approximately $4.6 billion and $537 million were from the provision of residential and business services, respectively. TWC also sells advertising to a variety of national, regional and local customers, which resulted in advertising revenue of $228 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Additionally, TWC generated $99 million of revenue from other sources during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, TWC had approximately 11.9 million residential video subscribers, 11.1 million residential high-speed data subscribers and 5.0 million residential voice subscribers, as well as 189,000 business video subscribers, 472,000 business high-speed data subscribers and 237,000 business voice subscribers. TWC markets its services separately and in “bundled” packages of multiple services and features. As of March 31, 2013, 61.1% of TWC’s customers subscribed to two or more of its primary services, including 27.9% of its customers who subscribed to all three primary services.

TWC believes it will continue to increase business services revenue for the foreseeable future through growth in customers, an increasing percentage of customers purchasing more services, as well as higher-priced tiers of service, and price increases. TWC also believes it will continue to increase residential services revenue for the foreseeable future, primarily through growth in residential high-speed data revenue, which is expected to increase due to growth in subscribers, an increasing percentage of subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service and increases in prices and equipment rental charges. Future revenue growth rates will depend on the Company’s ability to attract, retain and upsell customers and increase pricing, which can be impacted by competitive factors, the state of the economy and regulation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

TWC faces intense competition for residential services customers from a variety of alternative communications, information and entertainment delivery sources. TWC competes with incumbent local telephone companies and other overbuilders across each of its primary residential services. Some of these competitors offer a broad range of services with features and functions comparable to those provided by TWC and in bundles similar to those offered by TWC, sometimes including wireless service. Each of TWC’s residential services also faces competition from other companies that provide services on a stand-alone basis. TWC’s residential video service faces competition from direct broadcast satellite services, and increasingly from companies that deliver content to consumers over the Internet and on mobile devices. TWC’s residential high-speed data and voice services face competition from wireless Internet and voice providers. TWC’s residential voice service also faces competition from “over-the-top” phone services and other alternatives.

TWC also competes across each of its business high-speed data, networking and voice services with local and long-distance service providers. TWC’s cell tower backhaul service also faces competition from local and long-distance service providers, as well as other carriers, such as metro and regional fiber providers. TWC’s business video service faces competition from direct broadcast satellite providers. TWC also competes with cloud, hosting and related service providers and application-service providers. Technological advances and product innovations have increased and will likely continue to increase the number of alternatives available to TWC’s current and potential residential and business services customers, further intensifying competition.

TWC faces intense competition in its advertising business across many different platforms and from a wide range of local and national competitors. Competition has increased and will likely continue to increase as new formats for advertising seek to attract the same advertisers. TWC competes for advertising revenue against, among others, local broadcast stations, national cable and broadcast networks, radio, newspapers, magazines and outdoor advertisers, as well as online advertising companies.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, video programming and employee costs represented 33.9% and 34.7%, respectively, of the Company’s total operating expenses. Video programming costs are expected to continue to increase, reflecting rate increases on existing programming services (particularly sports-related programming) and the carriage of new networks, partially offset by a decline in total video subscribers and the removal of certain existing, low-performing networks. TWC expects that its video programming costs as a percentage of video revenue will continue to increase, in part due to the more competitive environment discussed above. Employee costs are also expected to continue to increase as a result of many factors, including higher compensation expenses and headcount, reflecting the Company’s investment in business services, regional sports networks and other areas of growth.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

Revenue

The Company’s revenue consists of residential services, business services, advertising and other revenue.

Residential services.  Residential services revenue consists of revenue from residential video, high-speed data, voice and other services, each discussed below. The Company sells residential video, high-speed data and voice services to subscribers separately and in bundled packages at a rate lower than if the subscriber purchases each product on an individual basis. Revenue received from such subscribers is allocated to each product in a pro-rata manner based on the standalone selling price of each of the respective services on an individual basis.

Video.   Video revenue includes residential subscriber fees for the Company’s various tiers or packages of video programming services generally distinguished from one another by the number and type of programming networks they include. Video revenue also includes related equipment rental charges, installation charges and fees collected on behalf of local franchising authorities and the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”). Additionally, video revenue includes revenue from premium networks, transactional video-on-demand (e.g., events and movies) and digital video recorder (“DVR”) service.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

High-speed data.  High-speed data revenue primarily includes residential subscriber fees for the Company’s high-speed data services and related equipment rental and installation charges. The Company offers multiple tiers of high-speed data services providing various service speeds, data usage levels and other attributes to meet the different needs of its subscribers. In addition, high-speed data revenue includes fees received from third-party Internet service providers (e.g., Earthlink) whose online services are provided to some of TWC’s customers.

Voice.   Voice revenue includes residential subscriber fees for the Company’s voice services, along with related installation charges, as well as fees collected on behalf of governmental authorities.

Other.  Other revenue includes revenue from security and home management services and other residential subscriber-related fees.

Business services.  Business services revenue consists of revenue from business video, high-speed data, voice, wholesale transport and other services, each discussed below. The Company sells business video, high-speed data and voice services to subscribers separately and in bundled packages and the revenue is allocated to each product as described above under residential services.

Video.   Video revenue includes the same fee categories received from business video subscribers as described above under residential video revenue.

High-speed data.  High-speed data revenue primarily includes business subscriber fees for the Company’s high-speed data services and related installation charges. High-speed data revenue also includes amounts generated by the sale of commercial networking and point-to-point transport services, such as Metro Ethernet services.

Voice.  Voice revenue includes business subscriber fees for the Company’s voice services, along with related installation charges, as well as fees collected on behalf of governmental authorities.

Wholesale transport.  Wholesale transport revenue primarily includes amounts generated by the sale of point-to-point transport services offered to wireless telephone providers (i.e., cell tower backhaul) and other carriers.

Other.  Other revenue primarily includes revenue from enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services and other business subscriber-related fees.

Advertising.   Advertising revenue is generated through the sale of video and online advertising inventory to local, regional and national advertising customers. The Company derives most of its advertising revenue from the sale of advertising inventory on cable networks owned by third parties. The rights to such advertising inventory are acquired by the Company in connection with its agreements to carry such networks or through contractual agreements to sell advertising inventory on behalf of other video distributors (including, among others, Verizon Communications Inc.’s FiOS and AT&T Inc.’s U-verse). The Company also generates advertising revenue from the sale of inventory on its own local sports, news and lifestyle channels, including Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes (collectively, the “LA RSNs,” discussed further below) and NY1 News, and related websites.

Other.  Other revenue primarily includes (i) fees paid to TWC by the Advance/Newhouse Partnership for (a) the ability to distribute the Company’s high-speed data service and (b) TWC’s management of certain functions, including, among others, programming, as well as the provision of certain functions, including engineering; (ii) beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, fees from distributors of the LA RSNs, the Company’s two Los Angeles regional sports networks launched on October 1, 2012 that carry Los Angeles Lakers’ basketball games and other sports programming; and (iii) home shopping network-related revenue (including commissions earned on the sale of merchandise and carriage fees).

Costs and Expenses

Cost of revenue includes the following costs directly associated with the delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Company’s delivery systems: video programming costs; high-speed data connectivity costs; voice network costs; other service-related expenses, including non-administrative labor; franchise fees; and other related costs. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, cost of revenue also includes costs directly associated with the LA RSNs, including content acquisition costs. Content acquisition costs for the Los Angeles Lakers’ basketball games are recorded as games are exhibited over the applicable season.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses include amounts not directly associated with the delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Company’s delivery systems, such as administrative labor costs, marketing expenses, bad debt expense, billing system charges, non-plant repair and maintenance costs and other administrative overhead costs.

Cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses exclude depreciation expense, which is presented separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Use of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

In discussing its performance, the Company may use certain measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures include Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”), which the Company defines as Operating Income before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets.

Management uses OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business because it eliminates the effects of (i) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and amortization and (ii) items not within the control of the Company’s operations managers (such as income tax provision, other income (expense), net, and interest expense, net). Performance measures derived from OIBDA are also used in the Company’s annual incentive compensation programs. In addition, this measure is commonly used by analysts, investors and others in evaluating the Company’s performance.

This measure has inherent limitations. For example, OIBDA does not reflect capital expenditures or the periodic costs of certain capitalized assets used in generating revenue. To compensate for such limitations, management evaluates performance through, among other measures, various cash flow measures, which reflect capital expenditure decisions, and net income attributable to TWC shareholders, which reflects the periodic costs of capitalized assets. OIBDA also fails to reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income taxes and debt servicing costs, the results of the Company’s equity investments and other non-operational income or expense. Management compensates for these limitations by using other analytics such as a review of net income attributable to TWC shareholders.

This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company’s Operating Income and net income attributable to TWC shareholders, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(a) 

Customer relationships represent the number of subscribers who purchase at least one of the Company’s primary services. For example, a subscriber who purchases only high-speed data service and no video service will count as one customer relationship, and a subscriber who purchases both video and high-speed data services will also count as only one customer relationship.

(b) 

Video subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who purchase at least the basic service video programming tier. The determination of whether a video subscriber is categorized as residential or business is based on the type of subscriber purchasing the service.

(c) 

High-speed data subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who purchase any of the high-speed data services offered by TWC. The determination of whether a high-speed data subscriber is categorized as residential or business is generally based upon the type of service provided to that subscriber. For example, if TWC provides a business service, the subscriber is classified as business.

(d) 

Voice subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who purchase an IP-based telephony service, as well as a small number of subscribers acquired from Insight who receive traditional, circuit-switched telephone service. The determination of whether a voice subscriber is categorized as residential or business is generally based upon the type of service provided to that subscriber. For example, if TWC provides a business service, the subscriber is classified as business.

(e) 

Double play subscriber numbers reflect customers who subscribe to two of the Company’s primary services.

(f) 

Triple play subscriber numbers reflect customers who subscribe to all three of the Company’s primary services.

(c) 

Franchise and other fees include fees collected on behalf of franchising authorities and the FCC.

The decrease in residential video revenue was primarily due to decreases in video subscribers and average revenue per subscriber, partially offset by two additional months of Insight revenue. The decrease in average revenue per subscriber was primarily due to decreases in premium network and transactional video-on-demand revenue, partially offset by price increases and a greater percentage of subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service.

Residential high-speed data revenue increased due to growth in average revenue per subscriber and an increase in high-speed data subscribers, as well as two additional months of Insight revenue. The increase in average revenue per subscriber was primarily due to an increase in equipment rental charges and a greater percentage of subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service.

The increase in residential voice revenue was due to two additional months of Insight revenue and growth in voice subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per subscriber.

The Company expects that residential services revenue in 2013 (which includes two additional months of Insight revenue in the first quarter, as discussed above) will increase compared to 2012, primarily due to growth in residential high-speed data revenue, which is expected to increase as a result of continued growth in subscribers and average revenue per subscriber. The increase in residential high-speed data revenue is expected to be partially offset by a decline in residential video revenue, primarily as a result of a continued decline in residential video subscribers.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

Business services revenue increased primarily due to growth in high-speed data and voice subscribers, two additional months of Insight revenue and an increase in cell tower backhaul revenue of $9 million.

Advertising revenue.  Advertising revenue increased primarily due to growth in lower margin revenue from advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors (“ad rep agreements”), as well as two additional months of Insight revenue. The Company expects advertising revenue in 2013 to be similar to 2012 as growth in lower margin revenue from ad rep agreements and revenue from advertising sold on networks carried by TWC will offset a significant decline in high margin political advertising revenue.

Other revenue. Other revenue increased primarily due to fees from distributors of the LA RSNs. The Company expects other revenue to increase significantly in 2013 as a result of a full year of LA RSN distributor fees.

Cost of revenue. The major components of cost of revenue were as follows (in millions, except per subscriber data):

 

      Three Months Ended March 31,          
     2013      2012         % Change

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue

     48.1%           46.8%        
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

Average monthly video programming costs per video subscriber

   $ 33.16        $ 30.85          7.5%   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

Average monthly voice costs per voice subscriber

   $ 9.93        $ 10.21          (2.7%)   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

(a) 

Employee and other direct operating costs include costs directly associated with the delivery of the Company’s video, high-speed data, voice and other services to subscribers and the maintenance of the Company’s delivery systems.

(b) 

Video franchise and other fees include fees collected on behalf of franchising authorities and the FCC.

Cost of revenue increased primarily related to increases in video programming, employee and other direct operating costs.

The increase in video programming costs was primarily due to contractual rate increases, carriage of new networks and two additional months of Insight costs, partially offset by a decline in video subscribers. The Company expects the rate of growth in video programming costs per video subscriber in 2013 to increase compared to that in 2012.

Employee costs increased primarily as a result of two additional months of Insight costs, higher compensation costs per employee and increased business services headcount, partially offset by a decline in residential services headcount. Employee medical and pension costs increased $7 million and $5 million, respectively.

Voice costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of voice services, including network connectivity costs. Voice costs increased primarily due to growth in voice subscribers and two additional months of Insight costs, partially offset by a decrease in delivery costs per subscriber as a result of the ongoing replacement of Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint”) as the provider of voice transport, switching and interconnection services. The Sprint replacement process began in the fourth quarter of 2010 and, as of March 31, 2013, TWC had replaced Sprint with respect to nearly half of TWC’s voice lines. The Company expects to migrate the majority of the remaining voice lines during the second half of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, when the process is expected to be completed. The Company expects average voice costs per voice subscriber to decrease modestly in 2013 compared to 2012 due to the timing of the migration process during 2013.

Other direct operating costs increased as a result of costs associated with the LA RSNs and ad rep agreements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  The components of selling, general and administrative expenses were as follows (in millions):

 

      Three Months Ended March 31,          
     2013      2012         % Change     

Employee

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in employee costs and two additional months of Insight costs. The growth in employee costs was primarily the result of increased business and residential services headcount and higher compensation costs per employee. Employee medical and pension costs increased $6 million and $4 million, respectively.

Merger-related and restructuring costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred merger-related costs of $2 million and $35 million, respectively, in connection with the Insight acquisition.

The Company incurred restructuring costs of $29 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily related to employee terminations and other exit costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs during 2013 primarily related to employee terminations in connection with initiatives intended to improve operating efficiency.

Reconciliation of OIBDA to Operating Income.  The following table reconciles OIBDA to Operating Income. In addition, the table provides the components from Operating Income to net income attributable to TWC shareholders for purposes of the discussions that follow (in millions):

OIBDA.  OIBDA increased principally as a result of revenue growth, partially offset by higher cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation.  Depreciation increased primarily as a result of two additional months of Insight costs associated with its property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a decrease of $52 million associated with certain assets acquired in the July 31, 2006 transactions with Adelphia Communications Corporation and Comcast Corporation that were fully depreciated as of July 31, 2012.

Amortization.  Amortization increased primarily as a result of two additional months of Insight costs associated with its customer relationship intangible assets.

Operating Income. Operating Income increased primarily due to the growth in OIBDA, partially offset by the increases in depreciation and amortization, as discussed above.

Income tax provision.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $260 million and $251 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 39.3% and 39.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net income attributable to TWC shareholders and net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders.  Net income attributable to TWC shareholders and net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,         
           2013                   2012                % Change

Diluted

   $ 1.34        $     1.20            11.7%   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

Net income attributable to TWC shareholders increased primarily due to an increase in Operating Income and a decrease in interest expense, net, partially offset by an increase in the income tax provision. Net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 benefited from lower average common shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases under the Company’s common stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”).

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter, including quarterly dividend payments, common stock repurchases and maturities of long-term debt and the TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units (defined below). TWC’s sources of cash include cash and equivalents on hand, short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities, cash provided by operating activities and borrowing capacity under the Company’s $3.5 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and the Company’s $2.5 billion unsecured commercial paper program, as well as access to capital markets.

In accordance with the Company’s investment policy of diversifying its investments and limiting the amount of its investments in a single entity or fund, the Company may invest its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market and government funds and U.S. Treasury securities, as well as other similar instruments. As of March 31, 2013, nearly all of the Company’s cash and equivalents was invested in money market funds and income earning bank deposits, including certificates of deposit. Additionally, as of March 31, 2013, the Company held short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities.

TWC’s unused committed financial capacity was $6.703 billion as of March 31, 2013, reflecting $2.793 billion of cash and equivalents, $475 million of short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities and $3.435 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Current Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $26.521 billion of debt, $2.793 billion of cash and equivalents, $475 million of short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities (net debt of $23.253 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents and short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities), $300 million of mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A Preferred Equity Membership Units (the “TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units”) issued by a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (“TW NY Cable”), and $6.938 billion of total TWC shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $26.689 billion of debt, $3.304 billion of cash and equivalents, $150 million of short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities (net debt of $23.235 billion), $300 million of TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units and $7.279 billion of total TWC shareholders’ equity.

The following table shows the significant items contributing to the change in net debt from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 (in millions):

(a) 

As discussed further in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has entered into cross-currency swaps to effectively convert its £1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate British pound sterling denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt.

On April 28, 2011, TWC filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that allows TWC to offer and sell from time to time a variety of securities.

From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program in the fourth quarter of 2010 through April 23, 2013, the Company repurchased 76.4 million shares of TWC common stock for $5.857 billion, of which $847 million was repurchased during 2013. As of April 23, 2013, the Company had $1.385 billion remaining under the Stock Repurchase Program. The size and timing of the Company’s purchases under the Stock Repurchase Program are based on a number of factors, including business and market conditions, financial capacity and TWC’s common stock price. Absent any significant events, the Company expects to repurchase at least $2.5 billion of TWC common stock during 2013.

Cash Flows

Cash and equivalents decreased $511 million and $2.548 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Components of these changes are discussed below in more detail.

Cash provided by operating activities

   $ 1,394        $ 1,383    
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

(a) 

Amounts include interest income received (including amounts received under interest rate swap contracts) of $39 million and $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(b) 

Amounts include income tax refunds received of $1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Cash provided by operating activities increased slightly from $1.383 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1.394 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily related to an increase in OIBDA, partially offset by an increase in working capital requirements.

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted, which provides for the extension of 2012 bonus depreciation deductions of 50% of the cost of the Company’s qualified capital expenditures for 2013. This extension largely offsets the Company’s expected increase in net income tax payments in 2013 from the reversal of bonus depreciation benefits recorded in prior years. As discussed in the 2012 Form 10-K, net income tax payments in 2012 benefited from a number of deductions that will not recur in 2013 and, as a result, the Company expects that net income tax payments in 2013 will increase compared to 2012.

Net interest payments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased primarily as a result of the maturity of TWC’s 5.400% senior notes due July 2012 ($1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount), partially offset by interest payments related to the 4.500% senior unsecured debentures due 2042 ($1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount) issued in August 2012.

The Company was not required to make any cash contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans (the “qualified pension plans”) during the three months ended March 31, 2013, but may make discretionary cash contributions to the qualified pension plans during the remainder of 2013. Such contributions will be dependent on a variety of factors, including current and expected interest rates, asset performance, the funded status of the qualified pension plans and management’s judgment. As of March 31, 2013, the qualified pension plans were overfunded by $89 million. For its nonqualified defined benefit pension plan (the “nonqualified pension plan”), the Company contributed $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and will continue to make contributions during the remainder of 2013 to the extent benefits are paid. As of March 31, 2013, the projected benefit obligation for the nonqualified pension plan was $44 million.

Amount represents a loan made to Sterling Entertainment Enterprises, LLC (doing business as SportsNet New York), an equity-method investee, in the first quarter of 2012 that was repaid during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Cash used by investing activities decreased from $2.093 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1.093 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013, principally due to the 2012 acquisition of Insight, partially offset by the 2013 short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities and an increase in capital expenditures.

TWC’s capital expenditures by major category were as follows (in millions):

(a) 

Outstanding balance amounts of the TWC notes and debentures as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 each include £1.266 billion of senior unsecured notes valued at $1.924 billion and $2.058 billion, respectively, using the exchange rates at each date.

(b) 

Rate represents a weighted-average effective interest rate as of March 31, 2013 and, for the TWC notes and debentures, includes the effects of interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps.

(c) 

Outstanding balance amounts of the Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWCE”) debentures as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 include an unamortized fair value adjustment of $69 million and $70 million, respectively, primarily consisting of the fair value adjustment recognized as a result of the 2001 merger of America Online, Inc. (now known as AOL Inc.) and Time Warner Inc. (now known as Historic TW Inc.).

(d) 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $3.435 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (which reflects a reduction of $65 million for outstanding letters of credit backed by the Revolving Credit Facility).

(e) 

Outstanding balance amounts of total debt as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 include current maturities of long-term debt of $2.273 billion and $1.518 billion, respectively. Additionally, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units, which mature on August 1, 2013, are classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

See the 2012 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Company’s outstanding debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity and other financing arrangements, including certain information about maturities, covenants and rating triggers related to such debt and financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2013, TWC was in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant of the Revolving Credit Facility, with a ratio of consolidated total debt as of March 31, 2013 to consolidated EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 of approximately 2.9 times. In accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility agreement, consolidated total debt as of March 31, 2013 was calculated as (a) total debt per the accompanying consolidated balance sheet less the TWCE unamortized fair value adjustment (discussed above) and the fair value of debt

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenue, OIBDA, cash provided by operating activities and other financial measures. Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are included throughout this report and are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances.

The Company operates in a highly competitive, consumer and technology driven and rapidly changing business that is affected by government regulation and economic, strategic, political and social conditions. Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in the future and cause TWC’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the 2012 Form 10-K, and in TWC’s other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report. In addition, important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements include:

 

   

increased competition from video, high-speed data, networking and voice providers, particularly direct broadcast satellite operators, local and long-distance service providers, companies that deliver programming over broadband Internet connections, and wireless broadband and phone providers;

 

   

the Company’s ability to deal effectively with the current challenging economic environment or further deterioration in the economy, which may negatively impact customers’ demand for the Company’s services and also result in a reduction in the Company’s advertising revenue;

 

   

the Company’s continued ability to exploit new and existing technologies that appeal to residential and business services customers and advertisers;

 

   

changes in the regulatory and tax environments in which the Company operates, including, among others, regulation of broadband Internet services, “net neutrality” legislation or regulation and federal, state and local taxation;

 

   

increased difficulty negotiating programming and retransmission agreements on favorable terms, resulting in increased costs to the Company and/or the loss of popular programming; and

 

   

changes in the Company’s plans, initiatives and strategies.

Any forward-looking statements made by the Company in this document speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of changes in circumstances, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TWC” or the “Company”) is among the largest providers of video, high-speed data and voice services in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered cable systems located mainly in five geographic areas – New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, the Midwest (including Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin), Southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services to residential and business services customers over the Company’s broadband cable systems. TWC’s business services also include networking and transport services (including cell tower backhaul services) and enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services. TWC also sells advertising to a variety of national, regional and local customers.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“TWE-A/N”) only for the TWE-A/N cable systems that are controlled by TWC and for which TWC holds an economic interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, derivative financial instruments, pension benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, loss contingencies, certain programming arrangements and asset impairments. Allocation methodologies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the notes, where appropriate.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of TWC included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders is determined using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net income attributable to TWC common shareholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Diluted net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders reflects the more dilutive earnings per share amount calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method.

The Company’s restricted stock units granted to employees and non-employee directors are considered participating securities with respect to regular quarterly cash dividends.

Diluted net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 excludes 2.7 million common shares that may be issued under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan because they do not have a dilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were no antidilutive common shares.

(a) 

The Company’s interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts with multiple counterparties are subject to contractual terms that provide for the net settlement of all such contracts with each counterparty through a single payment in the event of default on or termination of any one contract by either party. The fair values of the assets and liabilities associated with interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheet and are classified as current or noncurrent based on the maturity date of the respective contract.

(b) 

Of the total interest rate swap assets recorded as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $22 million and $16 million, respectively, is recorded in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The total interest rate swap liabilities recorded as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

(c) 

The fair values of the assets and liabilities associated with cross-currency swaps are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

(d) 

The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by effectively converting fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. Under such contracts, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at fixed rates and is required to make semi-annual interest payments at variable rates, without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Such contracts are designated as fair value hedges. The Company recognizes no gain or loss related to its interest rate swaps because the changes in the fair values of such instruments are completely offset by the changes in the fair values of the

hedged fixed-rate debt. The following table summarizes the terms of the Company’s existing fixed to variable interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

The notional amounts of interest rate instruments, as presented in the above table, are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses cross-currency swaps to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign currency denominated debt by effectively converting foreign currency denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to U.S. dollar denominated debt. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company has entered into cross-currency swaps to effectively convert its £1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate British pound sterling denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. The cross-currency swaps have maturities ranging from June 2031 to July 2042. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of cross currency swap assets (liabilities), net, was $(5) million and $112 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the deferred gain (loss) activity related to cash flow hedges recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

Deferred gains (losses) on cross-currency swaps were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, to other expense, net, which offsets the re-measurement gains (losses) recognized in other expense, net, on the British pound sterling denominated debt.

Any ineffectiveness related to the Company’s cash flow hedges has been and is expected to be immaterial.

Equity Award Reimbursement Obligation

Prior to 2007, some of TWC’s employees were granted options to purchase shares of Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”) common stock in connection with their past employment with subsidiaries and affiliates of Time Warner, including TWC. Upon the exercise of Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees, TWC is obligated to reimburse Time Warner for the excess of the market price of Time Warner common stock on the day of exercise over the option exercise price (the “intrinsic” value of the award). The Company records the equity award reimbursement obligation at fair value in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, which is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The change in the equity award reimbursement obligation fluctuates primarily with the fair value and expected volatility of Time Warner common stock and changes in fair value are recorded in other expense, net, in the period of change. As of March 31, 2013, the weighted-average remaining contractual term of outstanding Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees was 0.90 years. Changes in the fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation are discussed in Note 4 below.

The fair value of interest rate swaps, classified as Level 2, utilized a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis based on the terms of the contract and expected forward interest rates, and incorporates the credit risk of the Company and each counterparty. The fair value of cross-currency swaps, classified as Level 2, utilized a DCF analysis based on expected forward interest and exchange rates, and incorporates the credit risk of the Company and each counterparty. The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation, classified as Level 3, utilized a Black-Scholes model to determine the estimated weighted-average fair value of Time Warner stock options outstanding, which was $20.41 per option as of March 31, 2013. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were as follows: expected volatility of Time Warner common stock of 21.75%, expected term of 0.70 years, risk-free rate of 0.12% and expected dividend yield of 2.00%.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include equity-method investments, long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually as of July 1 for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the asset be recorded at its fair value.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The Company’s other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include (a) cash and equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity, which are reflected at cost in the consolidated financial statements, and (b) short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities and long-

term debt not subject to fair value hedge accounting, which are reflected at amortized cost in the consolidated financial statements. With the exception of long-term debt, cost and amortized cost approximates fair value for these instruments due to their short-term nature. The carrying value and related estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $26.492 billion and $30.554 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2013 and $26.664 billion and $31.759 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. Estimated fair values for long-term debt have generally been determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where a quoted market value is not available, fair value is based on an estimate using a DCF analysis value or other valuation techniques.

Purchases under the Stock Repurchase Program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of the Company’s purchases under the Stock Repurchase Program are based on a number of factors, including business and market conditions, financial capacity and TWC’s common stock price. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 7.1 million shares of TWC common stock for $660 million, including 0.3 million shares repurchased for $33 million that settled in April 2013.

6. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

TWC is authorized, under the Company’s stock incentive plan (the “2011 Plan”), to grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to purchase shares of TWC common stock to its employees and non-employee directors. As of March 31, 2013, the 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 20.0 million shares of TWC common stock, of which 12.0 million shares were available for grant.

Equity-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (in millions):

Restricted Stock Units

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, TWC granted 1.160 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $86.77 per RSU, including 133,000 RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBUs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $86.76 per PBU. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, TWC granted 1.430 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $77.02 per RSU, including 194,000 PBUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $77.04 per PBU. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2013, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $206 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.96 years.

Table of Contents

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

RSUs, including PBUs, generally vest equally on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. RSUs provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantee’s termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of service and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBUs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will generally be issued in connection with a director’s termination of service as a director. Pursuant to the directors’ compensation program, certain directors with more than three years of service on the Board of Directors have elected an in-service vesting period for their RSU awards. Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents or retained distributions related to regular cash dividends or other distributions, respectively, paid by TWC. In the case of PBUs, the receipt of the dividend equivalents is subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. Retained distributions are subject to the vesting requirements of the underlying RSUs.

Stock Options

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, TWC granted 2.387 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.40 per option, including 283,000 stock options subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBOs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.43 per PBO. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, TWC granted 3.009 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.85 per option, including 372,000 PBOs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.85 per PBO. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2013, without taking into account expected forfeitures, is $74 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.90 years.

Stock options, including PBOs, have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of TWC common stock at the date of grant. Generally, stock options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance condition. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantee’s termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of service and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBOs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied.

The table below presents the assumptions used to value stock options at their grant date for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and reflects the weighted average of all awards granted within each period:

7. PENSION COSTS

TWC sponsors the Time Warner Cable Pension Plan (the “TWC Pension Plan”) and the Time Warner Cable Union Pension Plan (the “Union Pension Plan” and, together with the TWC Pension Plan, the “qualified pension plans”), both qualified defined benefit pension plans, that together provide pension benefits to a majority of the Company’s employees. TWC also provides a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan for certain employees (the “nonqualified pension plan” and, together with the qualified pension plans, the “pension plans”). Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees’ years of service and compensation during their employment period. TWC uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension plans. The components of net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in millions):

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,  
     2013      2012  

Service cost

    $ 53         $ 42    

Interest cost

Net periodic benefit costs

    $             54         $             45    
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The Company was not required to make any cash contributions to its qualified pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2013, but may make discretionary cash contributions to the qualified pension plans during the remainder of 2013. Such contributions will be dependent on a variety of factors, including current and expected interest rates, asset performance, the funded status of the qualified pension plans and management’s judgment. For the nonqualified pension plan, the Company contributed $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and will continue to make contributions during the remainder of 2013 to the extent benefits are paid.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is the defendant in In re: Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, ten purported class actions filed in federal district courts throughout the U.S. These actions are subject to a Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) Order transferring the cases for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 26, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a third amended consolidated class action complaint (the “Third Amended Complaint”), alleging that the Company violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, various state antitrust laws and state unfair/deceptive trade practices statutes by tying the sales of premium cable television services to the leasing of set-top converter boxes. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to cease such alleged practices. On September 30, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint, which the court granted on April 8, 2011. On June 17, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On August 9, 2010, the plaintiffs in Michelle Downs and Laurie Jarrett, et al. v. Insight Communications Company, L.P. filed a second amended complaint in a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky alleging that Insight Communications Company, L.P. violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by tying the sales of premium cable television services to the leasing of set-top converter boxes, which is similar to the federal claim against the Company in In re: Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, discussed above. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to cease such alleged practices. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On August 7, 2009, the plaintiffs in Jessica Fink, et al. v. Time Warner Cable Inc. filed an amended complaint in a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the Company uses a throttling technique which intentionally delays and/or blocks a user’s high-speed data service. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. On December 23, 2011, the district court granted with prejudice the Company’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ second amended complaint. On January 23, 2012, the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

The Company is the defendant in three purported class action lawsuits alleging breach of contract and violation of various state consumer protection statutes in connection with the Company’s high-speed data modem fee. On November 30, 2012, the plaintiffs in Fred W. Elmore v. Time Warner Cable Inc. filed a complaint in a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina alleging that the Company breached its contract with customers and violated South Carolina state consumer protection statutes by charging a fee for the provision of a high-speed data modem. On February 4, 2013, the plaintiffs in Mark Cox v. Time Warner Cable Inc. filed an amended complaint in a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina alleging that the Company breached its contract with customers whose high-speed data service is provided as part of a promotional package by charging a fee for the provision of a high-speed data modem. On February 26, 2013, the plaintiffs in Lorraine Damato, et al. v. Time Warner Cable Inc. filed a complaint in a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that the Company breached its contract with customers and violated New York, New Jersey and California state consumer protection statutes by charging a fee for the provision of a high-speed data modem. In each case, the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and an injunction to prevent the Company from charging a fee for the provision of a high-speed data modem. The Company intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuits or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

The Company is a defendant in Motorola Mobility, Inc., et al. v. TiVo Inc. (the “Motorola Mobility Lawsuit”). On February 25, 2011, Motorola Mobility, Inc. (“Motorola Mobility”) and General Instrument Corporation, a subsidiary of Motorola Mobility, filed a complaint against TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging infringement of three Motorola Mobility patents by TiVo digital video recorder (“DVR”) products and requesting a declaration that patents of TiVo are invalid and not infringed by certain Motorola Mobility DVR products. Motorola Mobility and General Instrument Corporation are seeking, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction. On March 26, 2012, TiVo filed amended counterclaims adding the Company as a defendant to the Motorola Mobility Lawsuit and a new patent claim. TiVo is seeking, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction. On May 17, 2012, the Company filed a motion to dismiss TiVo’s claims against it for failure to state a claim and, on May 20, 2012, the Company filed a motion to sever and stay TiVo’s claims against it. On June 29, 2012, TiVo served the Company with infringement contentions alleging infringement by the Company based on its use of Motorola Mobility DVR products and Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”) DVR products. On July 18, 2012, the court denied the Company’s request to sever and stay TiVo’s claims against the Company relating to the Motorola Mobility DVR products, and it severed TiVo’s claims against the Company relating to the Cisco DVR products from the Motorola Mobility Lawsuit and ordered that the Company be added as a party to TiVo Inc. v. Cisco Systems, Inc., discussed below. The trial in the Motorola Mobility Lawsuit is currently scheduled to commence in June 2013. The Company intends to defend against the Motorola Mobility Lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On June 4, 2012, TiVo filed a complaint against Cisco in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging infringement of four TiVo patents by Cisco DVR products and seeking, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction (the “Cisco Lawsuit”). As stated above, on July 18, 2012, the court ordered that the Company be added as a party to the Cisco Lawsuit. On August 15, 2012, TiVo served the Company with infringement contentions alleging infringement by the Company based on its use of Cisco DVR products. The Company intends to defend against the Cisco Lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On December 19, 2011, Sprint Communications L.P. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas alleging that the Company infringes 12 patents purportedly relating to Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On September 1, 2006, Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (“Katz”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company and several other cable operators, among other defendants, infringe 18 patents purportedly relating to the Company’s customer call center operations and/or voicemail services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a MDL Order transferring the cases for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. In April 2008, TWC and other defendants filed “common” motions for summary judgment, which argued, among other things, that a number of claims in the patents at issue are invalid under Sections 112 and 103 of the Patent Act. On June 19, 2008 and August 4, 2008, the court issued orders granting, in part, and denying, in part, those

motions. The defendants filed additional individual motions for summary judgment in August 2008, which argued, among other things, that the defendants’ respective products do not infringe the surviving claims in the plaintiff’s patents. On August 13, 2009, the district court found one additional patent invalid, but denied the defendants’ motions for summary judgment on three remaining patents and, on October 27, 2009, the district court denied the defendants’ requests for reconsideration of the decision. Based on motions for summary judgment brought by other defendants, the district court found, in decisions on January 29, 2010 and December 3, 2010, two of the three remaining patents invalid with respect to those defendants. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties and, in some cases, is party to litigation alleging that certain of the Company’s services or technologies infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require TWC to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question. In addition, certain agreements entered into by the Company may require it to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the Company’s damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if the claims are without merit, defending against the claims can be time consuming and costly.

Other Matters

The California Attorney General and the Alameda County, California District Attorney are investigating whether certain of the Company’s waste disposal policies, procedures and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. These entities are seeking injunctive relief, unspecified civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this investigation or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On June 18, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) served the Company with two civil investigative demands (“CIDs”) addressing the Company’s practices and policies relating to the use of credit bureaus. TWC has responded to portions of the CIDs as well as a few supplemental requests from the FTC. On February 12, 2013, TWC received a supplemental CID from the FTC, requesting additional information about how the Company informs customers who, based on a review of their credit scores, are required to pay a deposit or make an advance payment. The FTC has not informed the Company whether it intends to seek relief. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this investigation or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

In March 2003, the interests in cable networks and filmed entertainment held by Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”) were transferred to Time Warner and all of Time Warner’s interests in cable systems were transferred to the Company (the “TWE Restructuring”). As part of the TWE Restructuring, Time Warner agreed to indemnify the Company from and against any and all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from specified litigation matters brought against the TWE non-cable businesses. Although Time Warner has agreed to indemnify the Company against such liabilities, TWE remains a named party in certain litigation matters. In connection with an internal reorganization discussed further in Note 11, on September 30, 2012, TWE merged with and into Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWCE”), with TWCE as the surviving entity.

The costs and other effects of future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in pending matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Time Warner Cable Inc.

Basis of Presentation

On September 30, 2012, the Company completed an internal reorganization to simplify its organizational structure. As part of this reorganization, on September 30, 2012, TWE, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into TWCE, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, with TWCE as the surviving entity. In addition, on September 30, 2012, the Company, TW NY, TWCE, TWC Internet Holdings II, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, entered into supplemental indentures amending the TWC Indenture and the TWCE Indenture, providing for (i) TWCE’s succession to, and assumption of, all of the rights and obligations of TWE as guarantor under the TWC Indenture and as issuer under the TWCE Indenture and (ii) the addition of TWC Internet Holdings II as a guarantor under the TWC Indenture and TWCE Indenture and its assumption of all of the rights and obligations of a guarantor thereunder. As a result of this internal reorganization, the presentation of the condensed consolidating results of operations (including comprehensive income) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 has been recast to reflect TW NY, TWCE and TWC Internet Holdings II as subsidiary guarantors of debt securities issued by the Parent Company.

In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Company’s interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (iii) the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.” All assets and liabilities have been allocated to the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries generally based on legal entity ownership. Certain administrative costs have been allocated to the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries based on revenue recorded at the respective entity. A portion of the interest expense incurred by the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries has been allocated to the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries based on revenue recorded at the respective entity. The income tax provision has been presented based on each subsidiary’s legal entity. Deferred income taxes have been presented based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
