TABLE OF CONTENTS
Explanatory Note
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q modifies and supersedes documents filed before it. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you directly to those documents. Information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless indicated otherwise, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to Comcast and its consolidated subsidiaries as “Comcast,” “we,” “us” and “our.”
Numerical information in this report is presented on a rounded basis using actual amounts. Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding.
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. These may include estimates, projections and statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, which are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “potential,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “commit,” “plan,” “goal,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks and uncertainties we describe in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in other reports we file with the SEC.
Any of these factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, which could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
Our businesses may be affected by, among other things, the following:
-
our businesses operate in highly competitive and dynamic industries, and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not compete effectively
-
changes in consumer behavior continue to adversely affect our businesses and challenge existing business models
-
a decline in advertisers’ expenditures or changes in advertising markets could negatively impact our businesses
-
our success depends on consumer acceptance of our content, and our businesses may be adversely affected if our content fails to achieve sufficient consumer acceptance
-
programming expenses for our video services are increasing on a per subscriber basis, which could adversely affect our video businesses
-
the loss of programming distribution agreements, or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms, could adversely affect our businesses
-
our businesses depend on using and protecting certain intellectual property rights and on not infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others
-
we may be unable to obtain necessary hardware, software and operational support
-
our businesses depend on keeping pace with technological developments
-
a cyber attack, information or security breach, or technology disruption or failure may negatively impact our ability to conduct our business or result in the misuse of confidential information, all of which could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations
-
weak economic conditions may have a negative impact on our businesses
-
acquisitions and other strategic initiatives present many risks, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals that we had contemplated
-
we face risks relating to doing business internationally that could adversely affect our businesses
-
natural disasters, severe weather and other uncontrollable events could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations
-
the loss of key management personnel or popular on-air and creative talent could have an adverse effect on our businesses
-
labor disputes, whether involving employees or sports organizations, may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our businesses
-
we are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and foreign authorities, which impose additional costs and restrictions on our businesses
-
unfavorable litigation or governmental investigation results could require us to pay significant amounts or lead to onerous operating procedures
-
our Class B common stock has substantial voting rights and separate approval rights over several potentially material transactions, and our Chairman and CEO has considerable influence over our company through his beneficial ownership of our Class B common stock

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and certain other information, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In November 2024, we announced our intention to create Versant Media Group, Inc. (“Versant”), a new independent publicly traded company comprised of select cable television networks along with complementary digital assets through a tax-free spin-off. We are targeting to complete the spin-off around the end of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including obtaining final approval from our Board of Directors, satisfactory completion of Versant financings, receipt of tax opinions and receipt of any regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that a separation transaction will occur, or, if one does, of its terms or timing. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes do not reflect the proposed spin-off.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Refer to Note 3 for a discussion of the changes in our presentation of disaggregated revenue.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated accounting guidance related to income tax disclosures. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires additional disclosure primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We will adopt the updated accounting guidance in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance related to disclosures about certain costs and expenses. The updated accounting guidance, among other things, requires quantitative disclosures for employee compensation, selling expenses and purchases of inventory. The updated guidance is effective beginning in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027.
Note 2: Segment Information
We are a global media and technology company with five segments: Residential Connectivity & Platforms, Business Services Connectivity, Media, Studios and Theme Parks.
Our financial data by segment is presented in the tables below. We do not present asset information for our segments as this information is not used to allocate resources.

The discussion and analysis that follows includes the results of the cable television networks and complementary digital assets proposed to be included in the spin-off and does not reflect or give effect to what our results of operations and financial condition may be following the spin-off, if consummated.
A substantial portion of our revenue comes from customers whose spending patterns may be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Uncertain economic conditions, including as a result of geopolitical dynamics, changes in trade policies and foreign exchange rates could adversely affect demand for our products or services and have a negative impact on our results of operations. For a discussion of these factors and other risks, refer to Risk Factors in Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
