MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

INTRODUCTION

Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition (“MD&A”) is a supplement to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and provides additional information on Time Warner Cable Inc.’s (together with its subsidiaries, “TWC” or the “Company”) business, any recent developments, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

   

Financial condition and liquidity.    This section provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2013 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2013, TWC served approximately 15.2 million customers (approximately 14.6 million residential services customers and 592,000 business services customers) who subscribed to one or more of its three primary services, totaling approximately 28.7 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 six months ended June 30, 2013, TWC generated total revenue of approximately $11.0 billion. Of this total, approximately $9.2 billion and $1.1 billion 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 $488 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Additionally, TWC generated $192 million of revenue from other sources during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2013, TWC had approximately 11.7 million residential video subscribers, 11.1 million residential high-speed data subscribers and 4.9 million residential voice subscribers, as well as 191,000 business video subscribers, 485,000 business high-speed data subscribers and 250,000 business voice subscribers. TWC markets its services separately and in “bundled” packages of multiple services and features. As of June 30, 2013, 61.0% of TWC’s customers subscribed to two or more of its primary services, including 27.6% 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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2013, video programming and employee costs each represented 34.2% 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. 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 per employee and headcount, reflecting the Company’s investment in business services, regional sports networks and other areas of growth.

Recent Developments

Common Stock Repurchase Program

On July 25, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the remaining authorization under its existing common stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”), which was $775 million as of July 24, 2013, to an aggregate of up to $4.0 billion of TWC common stock effective July 25, 2013. 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. From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program in the fourth quarter of 2010 through July 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 82.8 million shares of TWC common stock for $6.505 billion, of which $1.495 billion was repurchased during 2013. As of July 30, 2013, the Company had $3.962 billion remaining under the Stock Repurchase Program. Absent any significant events, the Company expects to repurchase at least $2.5 billion of TWC common stock during 2013.

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.

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 (e.g., 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, the acquisition of programming rights, 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.

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) 

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

The decrease in residential video revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to decreases in video subscribers, transactional video-on-demand revenue and, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, premium network revenue, partially offset by price increases and a greater percentage of subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the decrease was also partially offset by two additional months of Insight revenue.

Residential high-speed data revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased due to growth in average revenue per subscriber and an increase in high-speed data subscribers. 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. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, residential high-speed data revenue benefited from two additional months of Insight revenue.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

The decrease in residential voice revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was due to a decline in average revenue per subscriber and lower voice subscribers. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the decrease was partially offset by two additional months of Insight revenue.

The Company expects that residential services revenue in 2013 (which includes two additional months of Insight revenue, 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.

Business services revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily due to growth in high-speed data and voice subscribers and an increase in cell tower backhaul revenue of $11 million and $20 million, respectively. Business services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 also benefited from two additional months of Insight revenue.

Advertising revenue.    Advertising revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased primarily due to a decline in political advertising revenue, partially offset by growth in revenue from advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors (“ad rep agreements”). Advertising revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily due to growth in revenue from ad rep agreements, as well as the benefit from two additional months of Insight revenue, partially offset by a decline in political advertising revenue. The Company expects advertising revenue in the second half of 2013 to decrease compared to the second half of 2012 due to a significant decline in political advertising revenue, partially offset by growth in revenue from ad rep agreements. The margin on revenue from ad rep agreements is generally lower than the margin on revenue from political advertising and advertising sold on networks carried by TWC.

Other revenue.    Other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily due to fees from distributors of the LA RSNs. The Company expects other revenue to increase significantly in the second half of 2013 compared to the second half of 2012 as a result of an additional three months of LA RSN distributor fees.

(b) 

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

Cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily related to increases in video programming, employee and other direct operating costs.

The increase in video programming costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to contractual rate increases and carriage of new networks, partially offset by a decline in video subscribers and transactional video-on-demand. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, video programming costs were reduced by approximately $15 million due to changes in cost estimates for programming services carried during contract negotiations, changes in programming audit reserves and certain contract settlements. Additionally, video programming costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were impacted by two additional months of Insight costs. The Company expects the rate of growth in video programming costs per video subscriber in the second half of 2013 to increase compared to that in the first half of the year.

Employee costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily as a result of increased headcount and higher compensation costs per employee. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, employee medical costs increased $9 million and $16 million, respectively. Additionally, employee costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were impacted by two additional months of Insight costs.

Voice costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of voice services, including network connectivity costs. Voice costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased primarily due to a decrease in delivery costs per subscriber as a result of the ongoing replacement of Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) as the provider of voice transport, switching and interconnection services, as well as a decline in voice subscribers. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the decrease in voice costs was partially offset by the impact of two additional months of Insight costs. As of June 30, 2013, TWC had replaced Sprint with respect to approximately half of TWC’s voice lines and the Company expects to migrate the remaining voice lines during the second half of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, when the process is expected to be completed. As a result, the Company expects average voice costs per voice subscriber to continue to decrease in the second half of 2013 compared to the second half of 2012.

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

Bad debt expense includes amounts charged to expense associated with the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and collection expenses, net of late fees billed to subscribers. Late fees billed to subscribers were $42 million and $82 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $37 million and $73 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased primarily as a result of an increase in employee costs. The growth in employee costs was primarily the result of increased headcount, higher compensation costs per employee and $10 million of executive severance costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, employee medical costs increased $7 million and $13 million, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were also impacted by higher marketing costs and lower other operating costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were also impacted by two additional months of Insight costs.

Merger-related and restructuring costs.    In connection with the Insight acquisition, the Company incurred merger-related costs of $5 million and $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $8 million and $43 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company incurred restructuring costs of $22 million and $51 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $13 million and $23 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These restructuring costs were primarily related to employee terminations and other exit costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs during the remainder of 2013 primarily related to employee terminations in connection with initiatives intended to improve operating efficiency.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

OIBDA.    OIBDA increased principally as a result of revenue growth, partially offset by higher cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses (which, as discussed above, included $10 million of executive severance costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013).

Depreciation.    Depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 benefited from decreases of $51 million and $103 million, respectively, 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. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of an increase in shorter-lived distribution system and capitalized software assets as well as, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the two additional months of Insight costs associated with its property, plant and equipment.

Amortization.    For the six months ended June 30, 2013, amortization increased primarily as a result of two additional months of Insight costs associated with its customer relationship intangible assets.

Operating Income.    For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Operating Income increased primarily due to the decrease in depreciation and increase in OIBDA, as discussed above. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Operating Income increased primarily due to the increase in OIBDA, partially offset by the increase in amortization, as discussed above.

Other investment losses in 2012 represents an impairment of the Company’s investment in Canoe Ventures LLC, an equity-method investee.

Income tax provision.    For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $319 million and $290 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $579 million and $541 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 39.9% and 39.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 39.6% and 39.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On July 23, 2013, North Carolina enacted income tax reform legislation, which, along with other changes, phases in a reduction in North Carolina’s corporate income tax rate over several years. As a result of this legislation, the Company expects to record a decrease in state deferred income tax liabilities (with a corresponding noncash income tax benefit) of approximately $25 million to $35 million during the third quarter of 2013.

Net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 benefited from lower average common shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program.

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2013, the Company held short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities.

TWC’s unused committed financial capacity was $6.633 billion as of June 30, 2013, reflecting $2.623 billion of cash and equivalents, $575 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 June 30, 2013, the Company had $26.392 billion of debt, $2.623 billion of cash and equivalents, $575 million of short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities (net debt of $23.194 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 $6.708 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.

(a) 

The decrease in the fair value of debt subject to interest rate swaps is equal to the net decrease in the fair value of the underlying swaps, which are separately recorded on a gross basis as assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company’s accounting for its interest rate swaps.

(b) 

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.

On July 1, 2013, TWC’s 6.200% senior notes due 2013 matured and all $1.500 billion in aggregate principal amount was repaid.

On July 25, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per share of TWC common stock, payable in cash on September 16, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2013.

From the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program in the fourth quarter of 2010 through July 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 82.8 million shares of TWC common stock for $6.505 billion and, as of July 30, 2013, the Company had $3.962 billion remaining under the Stock Repurchase Program.

On August 1, 2013, all of the TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units are subject to mandatory redemption by TW NY Cable for an aggregate redemption price of $300 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $2.920 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $2.945 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was primarily related to an increase in OIBDA and decreases in net interest payments and working capital requirements, partially offset by increases in net income tax payments.

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 (including, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, certain Insight-related items) and, as a result, the Company expects that net income tax payments in 2013 will increase compared to 2012.

Net interest payments for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased primarily as a result of the maturities of TWC’s 5.400% senior notes due July 2012 ($1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount), Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC’s (“TWCE”) 8.875% senior notes due October 2012 ($350 million in aggregate principal amount) and Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P.’s (“TWE”), a subsidiary of the Company at the maturity date, 10.150% senior notes due May 2012 ($250 million in aggregate principal amount), partially offset by interest payments related to TWC’s 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 six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2013, the qualified pension plans were estimated to be overfunded by $326 million.

(a) 

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 $2.815 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $2.027 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013, principally due to the 2012 acquisition of Insight, partially offset by the 2013 short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities (net of maturities) and an increase in capital expenditures.

(a) 

Outstanding balance amounts of the TWC notes and debentures as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 each include £1.266 billion of senior unsecured notes valued at $1.926 billion and $2.058 billion, respectively, using the exchange rates at each date.

(b) 

Rate represents a weighted-average effective interest rate as of June 30, 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 TWCE debentures as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 include an unamortized fair value adjustment of $67 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 include current maturities of long-term debt of $3.281 billion and $1.518 billion, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 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 June 30, 2013, TWC was in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant of the Revolving Credit Facility, with a ratio of consolidated total debt as of June 30, 2013 to consolidated EBITDA for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 of approximately 2.9 times. In accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility agreement, consolidated total debt as of June 30, 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 subject to interest rate swaps, less (b) total cash and short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities per the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in excess of $25 million. In accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility agreement, consolidated EBITDA for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 was calculated as OIBDA plus equity-based compensation expense.

Contractual and Other Obligations

Contractual Obligations

The Company has obligations to make future payments for goods and services under certain contractual arrangements. These contractual obligations secure the future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal course of the Company’s operations. For example, the Company is contractually committed to make certain minimum lease payments for the use of property under operating lease agreements. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the future rights and obligations pertaining to firm commitments, such as operating lease obligations and certain purchase obligations under contracts, are not reflected as assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(a) 

2013 amounts represent the Company’s contractual obligations for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

(b) 

Programming and content purchases represent contracts that the Company has with cable television networks and broadcast stations to provide programming services to its subscribers. The amounts included above represent estimates of the future programming costs for these contract requirements and commitments based on subscriber numbers and tier placement as of June 30, 2013 applied to the per-subscriber rates contained in these contracts. Actual amounts due under such contracts may differ from the amounts above based on the actual subscriber numbers and tier placements. These amounts also include programming rights negotiated directly with content owners for distribution on TWC-owned channels or networks.

(c) 

Outstanding debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity obligations represent principal amounts due on outstanding debt obligations and the TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units as of June 30, 2013. Amounts do not include any fair value adjustments, bond premiums, discounts, interest rate derivatives, interest payments or dividends.

(d) 

Amounts are based on the outstanding debt and TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units balances, respective interest or dividend rates and maturity schedule of the respective instruments as of June 30, 2013. Interest ultimately paid on these obligations may differ based on any potential future refinancings entered into by the Company.

(e) 

The Company has lease obligations under various operating leases including minimum lease obligations for real estate and operating equipment.

(f) 

Voice connectivity obligations relate to transport, switching and interconnection services, primarily provided by Sprint, that allow for the origination and termination of local and long-distance telephony traffic. These expenses also include related technical support services. As discussed in “Results of Operations—Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012—Cost of Revenue,” the Company is in an ongoing process of replacing Sprint as the provider of transport, switching and interconnection services. There is generally no obligation to purchase these services if the Company is not providing voice service. The amounts included above are estimated based on the number of voice subscribers as of June 30, 2013 and the per-subscriber contractual rates contained in the contracts that were in effect as of June 30, 2013 and also reflect the replacement of Sprint, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2014.

(g) 

High-speed data connectivity obligations are based on the contractual terms for bandwidth circuits that were in use as of June 30, 2013.

(h) 

Other contractual obligations does not include the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax positions and related accrued interest and penalties, which as of June 30, 2013 totaled $106 million, as the specific timing of any cash payments relating to this obligation cannot be projected with reasonable certainty.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

 

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;

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 six months ended June 30, 2012 excludes 2.6 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 June 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, antidilutive common shares related to the equity-based compensation plan were insignificant.

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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

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 of June 2031 and July 2042. The following table summarizes the deferred gain (loss) activity related to cash flow hedges recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

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 income (expense), net, in the period of change. As of June 30, 2013, the weighted-average remaining contractual term of outstanding Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees was 0.67 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 $20.75 per option as of June 30, 2013. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were as follows: expected volatility of Time Warner common stock of 25.08%, expected term of 0.55 years, risk-free rate of 0.07% and expected dividend yield of 1.99%.

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 reduced to 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 balance sheet, 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 balance sheet. 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 $26.363 billion and $28.219 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 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.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $934 million remaining under its $4.0 billion common stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). 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 six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 13.7 million shares of TWC common stock for $1.298 billion, including 0.2 million shares repurchased for $26 million that settled in July 2013. On July 25, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the remaining authorization under the Stock Repurchase Program, which was $775 million as of July 24, 2013, to an aggregate of up to $4.0 billion of TWC common stock effective July 25, 2013.

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 June 30, 2013, the 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 20.0 million shares of TWC common stock, of which 12.1 million shares were available for grant.

Equity-based compensation expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (in millions):

Restricted Stock Units

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, TWC granted 1.186 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $86.95 per RSU, including 142,000 RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBUs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $87.31 per PBU. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, TWC granted 1.434 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $77.03 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 June 30, 2013, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $174 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.79 years.

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 six months ended June 30, 2013, TWC granted 2.493 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.49 per option, including 302,000 stock options subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBOs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.57 per PBO. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, TWC granted 3.017 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 June 30, 2013, without taking into account expected forfeitures, is $62 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.75 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.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in millions):

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 $3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and will continue to make contributions during the remainder of 2013 to the extent benefits are paid.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligations

The Company has obligations to make future payments for goods and services under certain contractual arrangements. These contractual obligations secure the future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal course of the Company’s operations. For example, the Company is contractually committed to make certain minimum lease payments for the use of property under operating lease agreements. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the future rights and obligations pertaining to firm commitments, such as operating lease obligations and certain purchase obligations under contracts, are not reflected as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2013, the minimum rental commitments under long-term operating leases during the next five years are $72 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, $140 million in 2014, $127 million in 2015, $118 million in 2016, $89 million in 2017 and $305 million thereafter.

The following table summarizes the Company’s aggregate contractual obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2013 under certain programming and content, voice and high-speed data connectivity and other agreements and the estimated timing and effect that such obligations are expected to have on the Company’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in millions):

(a) 

2013 amounts represent the Company’s contractual obligations for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

Programming and content purchases represent contracts that the Company has with cable television networks and broadcast stations to provide programming services to its subscribers. The amounts included above represent estimates of the future programming costs for these contract requirements and commitments based on subscriber numbers and tier placement as of June 30, 2013 applied to the per-subscriber rates contained in these contracts. Actual amounts due under such contracts may differ from the amounts above based on the actual subscriber numbers and tier placements. These amounts also include programming rights negotiated directly with content owners for distribution on TWC-owned channels or networks.

Voice connectivity obligations relate to transport, switching and interconnection services, primarily provided by Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), that allow for the origination and termination of local and long-distance telephony traffic. These expenses also include related technical support services. The Company is in an ongoing process of replacing Sprint as the provider of transport, switching and interconnection services. There is generally no obligation to purchase these services if the Company is not providing voice service. The amounts included above are estimated based on the number of voice subscribers as of June 30, 2013 and the per-subscriber contractual rates contained in the contracts that were in effect as of June 30, 2013 and also reflect the replacement of Sprint, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2014.

High-speed data connectivity obligations are based on the contractual terms for bandwidth circuits that were in use as of June 30, 2013.

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. (“Insight”) 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. On July 19, 2013, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, which argued that Insight did not coerce the plaintiffs to lease a set-top converter box, a necessary element of the plaintiffs’ claim. 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, terminating the action. On May 6, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of the plantiffs’ complaint. The time to seek review of this decision by the U.S. Supreme Court has not yet expired. 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 was a defendant in Motorola Mobility, Inc., et al. v. TiVo Inc. (the “Motorola Mobility Lawsuit”) and TiVo Inc. v. Cisco Systems, Inc. (the “Cisco 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. On March 26, 2012, TiVo filed amended counterclaims adding the Company as a defendant to the Motorola Mobility Lawsuit and a new patent claim. 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 the Cisco Lawsuit, brought by TiVo in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In both the Motorola Mobility Lawsuit and the Cisco Lawsuit, TiVo was seeking, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction. On July 3, 2013, the parties to both the lawsuits executed a settlement agreement resolving the actions on terms that are not material to the Company.

On December 19, 2011, Sprint Communications Company 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 Company expects to settle this investigation on terms that are not material to the Company.

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.

(“TW NY”), Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWCE”) and Time Warner Cable Internet Holdings II LLC (“TWC Internet Holdings II” and, together with TW NY and TWCE, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), on a combined basis, (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Cable Inc. on a consolidated basis. TW NY is a direct 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. TWCE and TWC Internet Holdings II are indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of the Parent Company.

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) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 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 activity including income tax benefits related to allocated administrative costs and interest expense. 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.
