OVERVIEW
TWC is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced,
well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New
York City), the Carolinas, Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of March
31, 2009, TWC served approximately 14.7 million residential and commercial customers who subscribed
to one or more of its video, high-speed data and voice services, representing approximately 34.8
million revenue generating units.
As of December 31, 2008, Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) owned approximately 84% of the
common stock of TWC (representing a 90.6% voting interest), and also owned an indirect 12.43%
non-voting common stock interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY), a subsidiary of TWC.
Additionally, the financial results of TWC were consolidated by Time Warner. As discussed further
in Recent Developments, on March 12, 2009, TWC completed its separation from Time Warner. As a
result of the separation, Time Warner no longer has an ownership interest in TWC.
TWC
principally offers three services video, high-speed data and
voice over its
broadband cable systems. TWC markets its services separately and in bundled packages of multiple
services and features. As of March 31, 2009, 55% of TWCs customers subscribed to two or more of
its primary services, including 22% of its customers who subscribed to all three primary services.
In addition to its residential services, TWC offers commercial customers video, high-speed data,
voice and networking and transport services. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, TWC
generated over $200 million of revenues from its commercial services. TWC believes providing
commercial services will generate additional opportunities for growth. In addition, TWC sells
advertising to a variety of national, regional and local advertising customers.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Video is TWCs largest service in terms of revenues generated and, as of March 31, 2009, TWC
had approximately 13.1 million video subscribers, of which approximately 8.7 million subscribed to
TWCs digital video service. Although providing video services is a competitive and highly
penetrated business, TWC expects to continue to increase video revenues through the offering of
digital video services, as well as through price increases. Video programming costs represent a
major component of TWCs expenses and are expected to continue to increase, reflecting programming
rate increases on existing services, costs associated with retransmission consent agreements,
digital video subscriber growth and the expansion of service offerings (e.g., new network
channels). TWC expects that its video service margins as a percentage of video revenues will
continue to decline over the next few years as increases in programming costs outpace growth in
video revenues.
As of March 31, 2009, TWC had approximately 8.7 million residential high-speed data
subscribers. TWC expects continued growth in residential high-speed data subscribers and
revenues for the foreseeable future; however, future high-speed data
subscriber and revenue growth rates will depend on high-speed data
penetration levels, competition and the state of the economy. TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services
and had 283,000 commercial
high-speed data subscribers as of March 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2009, TWC had approximately 3.9 million residential Digital Phone subscribers. TWC expects increases in Digital Phone subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future;
however, future Digital Phone subscriber and revenue growth rates
will depend on Digital Phone penetration levels, competition, the
rate of wireless substitution of wireline phone service and the state
of the economy.
TWC also offers its
commercial Digital Phone service, Business Class Phone, in nearly all of its operating areas and
had 38,000 commercial Digital Phone subscribers as of March 31, 2009.
TWC faces intense competition from a variety of alternative information and entertainment
delivery sources, principally from direct-to-home satellite video providers and certain telephone
companies, each of which offers a broad range of services that provide features and functions
comparable to those provided by TWC. The services are also offered in bundles of video, high-speed
data and voice services similar to TWCs and, in certain cases, these offerings include wireless
services. The availability of these bundled service offerings and of wireless offerings, whether as
a single offering or as part of a bundle, has intensified competition. In addition, technological
advances and product innovations have increased and will likely continue to increase the number of
alternatives available to TWCs customers from other providers and intensify the competitive
environment, which may negatively affect the growth of revenue generating units.
Since the end of the third quarter of 2008, the Company has experienced a slowdown in growth
across all revenue generating unit categories, which the Company believes is partly a result of a
challenging economic environment and a related reduction in consumer spending. This slowdown
moderated somewhat during the first three months of 2009. The impact of a protracted economic
downturn on the Companys financial and subscriber results is difficult to estimate; however, the
Company believes that growth in revenue generating units, as well as growth in other video services
(e.g., digital video recorders, premium channels and transactional video-on-demand), will continue
to be slower in 2009 as compared to 2008. In addition, the Company expects that Advertising
revenues will decline in 2009 due to lower political advertising revenues and continued weakness in
Advertising revenues from national, regional and local businesses.
The Company believes it continues to have strong liquidity to meet its needs for the
foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $3.688 billion of unused committed
capacity (including cash and equivalents). Additionally, there are no significant maturities of the
Companys long-term debt prior to February 2011. See Financial Condition and Liquidity for
further details regarding the Companys committed capacity.
During the first quarter of 2009, TWC began a significant restructuring, primarily consisting
of headcount reductions, resulting in restructuring charges of $43 million during the quarter. TWC
expects to incur total restructuring charges of approximately $75
million during 2009, including the $43 million of charges incurred during the first quarter of
2009.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Recent Developments
Separation from Time Warner, Recapitalization and TWC Reverse Stock Split
On March 12, 2009, the separation of TWC from Time Warner was completed pursuant to a
Separation Agreement dated as of May 20, 2008 (the Separation Agreement) between TWC and its
subsidiaries, Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY, and Time Warner and its
subsidiaries, Warner Communications Inc. (WCI), Historic TW Inc. (Historic TW) and American
Television and Communications Corporation (ATC). In accordance with the Separation Agreement, on
February 25, 2009, Historic TW transferred its 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY to
TWC in exchange for 80 million newly issued shares of TWCs Class A common stock (the TW NY
Exchange). On March 12, 2009, TWC paid a special cash dividend of $10.27 per share ($30.81 per
share after giving effect to the 1-for-3 reverse stock split discussed below, aggregating $10.856
billion) to holders of record on March 11, 2009 of TWCs outstanding Class A common stock and Class
B common stock, which included Time Warner (the Special Dividend). Following the receipt by Time
Warner of its share of the Special Dividend, TWC filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, pursuant to which, among other
things, each outstanding share of TWC Class A common stock (including the shares of Class A common
stock issued in the TW NY Exchange) and TWC Class B common stock was automatically converted (the
Recapitalization) into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the TWC Common
Stock). After the Recapitalization, TWCs separation from Time Warner (the Separation) was
effected as a pro rata dividend of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to holders of
record of Time Warners common stock (the Spin-Off Dividend or the Distribution) as of 8:00 pm
on March 12, 2009, the record date for the Spin-Off Dividend. On March 12, 2009, Time Warner
deposited its shares of TWC Common Stock with an agent and, at the record date for the Spin-Off
Dividend, was deemed to no longer beneficially own such shares. On March 27, 2009, the distribution
date for the Spin-Off Dividend, all of these shares of TWC Common Stock were distributed. The TW NY
Exchange, the Special Dividend, the Recapitalization, the Separation and the Distribution
collectively are referred to as the Separation Transactions.
To pay a portion of the Special Dividend, on March 12, 2009, TWC borrowed (i) the full
committed amount of $1.932 billion under its 364-day senior unsecured term loan facility (the 2008
Bridge Facility) and (ii) approximately $3.3 billion under its senior unsecured five-year
revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility). The Company funded the remainder of
the Special Dividend with approximately $5.6 billion of cash on hand. See March 2009 Bond
Offering and Termination of Lending Commitments below for further details regarding the
termination of the 2008 Bridge Facility.
In connection with the Separation Transactions, on March 12, 2009, the Company implemented a
reverse stock split of the TWC Common Stock (the TWC reverse stock split) at a 1-for-3 ratio,
effective immediately after the Recapitalization. The shares of TWC Common Stock distributed in the Spin-Off
Dividend gave effect to both the Recapitalization and the TWC reverse stock split.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred pretax costs related to the
Separation of $40 million, which consisted of direct transaction costs (e.g., legal and
professional fees) of $27 million (which are included in other income (expense), net, in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations) and debt issuance costs of $13 million (which
are included in interest expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations).
The debt issuance costs primarily relate to the portion of the upfront loan fees for the 2008
Bridge Facility that was expensed due to the repayment of all borrowings outstanding under, and the
resulting termination of, such facility with a portion of the net proceeds of the March 2009 Bond
Offering (as defined below). During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred
pretax costs related to the Separation of $2 million, which consisted of direct transaction costs
(e.g., legal and professional fees).
March 2009 Bond Offering and Termination of Lending Commitments
On March 26, 2009, TWC issued $3.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
notes (the March 2009 Bond Offering) under a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed
during 2008 (the Shelf Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) that allows TWC to offer and sell from time to time senior and subordinated debt securities
and debt warrants. The March 2009 Bond Offering consisted of $1.0 billion principal amount of 7.50%
notes due 2014 and $2.0 billion principal amount of 8.25% notes due 2019. TWCs obligations under
the debt securities issued in the March 2009 Bond Offering are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
The Company used $1.934 billion of the net proceeds from the March 2009 Bond Offering to repay
all of the borrowings outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility, as well as accrued interest and
commitment fees, and such facility was terminated by the parties thereto in accordance with its
terms. Additionally, as a result of the March 2009 Bond Offering and the termination of the 2008
Bridge Facility, the Company terminated Time Warners commitment (as lender) under a two-year
$1.535 billion senior unsecured supplemental term loan facility, and the credit agreement governing
such facility was terminated in accordance with its terms.
See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details regarding
the March 2009 Bond Offering.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Revenues
The Companys revenues consist of Subscription and Advertising revenues. Subscription revenues
consist of revenues from video, high-speed data and voice services.
Video revenues include subscriber fees for basic, expanded basic and digital services from
both residential and commercial subscribers. Video revenues from digital services, or digital video
revenues, include revenues from digital tiers, premium channels, transactional video-on-demand
(e.g., events, movies and pay-per-view), subscription-video-on-demand and digital video recorder
services. Video revenues also include related equipment rental charges, installation charges and
franchise fees collected on behalf of local franchising authorities. Several ancillary items are
also included within video revenues, such as commissions earned on the sale of merchandise by home
shopping services and rental income earned on the leasing of antenna attachments on transmission
towers owned by the Company.
High-speed data revenues include subscriber fees from both residential and commercial
subscribers, along with related home networking fees and installation charges. Additionally,
high-speed data revenues include fees received from certain distributors of TWCs Road
RunnerTM high-speed data service (including cable systems managed by the
Advance/Newhouse Partnership). High-speed data revenues also include fees paid to TWC by the
Advance/Newhouse Partnership for managing certain functions for the Advance/Newhouse Partnership,
including, among others, programming and engineering. In addition, high-speed data revenues include
fees received from third-party internet service providers whose on-line services are provided to
some of TWCs customers.
Voice revenues include subscriber fees from residential and commercial Digital Phone
subscribers, along with related installation charges.
Advertising revenues primarily include the fees charged to local, regional and national
advertising customers for advertising placed on the Companys video and high-speed data services.
Nearly all Advertising revenues are attributable to advertising placed on the Companys video
service.
Costs and Expenses
Costs of revenues include the following costs directly associated with the delivery of
services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Companys delivery systems: video programming
costs; high-speed data connectivity costs and certain high-speed data customer care support
service costs; voice network costs; other service-related expenses, including non-administrative
labor; franchise fees; and other related costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include amounts not directly associated with the
delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Companys delivery systems, such as
administrative labor costs, marketing expenses, billing system charges, non-plant repair and
maintenance costs, other administrative overhead costs and, prior to the Separation, fees paid to
Time Warner for reimbursement of certain administrative support functions.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Use of Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow
Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization is a financial measure not
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The Company defines Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization as Operating
Income (Loss) before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets.
Management utilizes Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization, among other
measures, in evaluating the performance of the Companys business because Operating Income (Loss)
before Depreciation and Amortization eliminates the uneven effect across its business of
considerable amounts of depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets
recognized in business combinations. Additionally, management utilizes Operating Income (Loss)
before Depreciation and Amortization because it believes this measure provides valuable insight
into the underlying performance of the Companys individual cable systems by removing the effects
of items that are not within the control of local personnel charged with managing these systems
such as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax benefit (provision),
other income (expense), net, and interest expense, net. In this regard, Operating Income (Loss)
before Depreciation and Amortization is a significant component of measures used in the Companys
annual incentive compensation programs.
A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of
certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Companys
business. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates the investments in such tangible
and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budget
variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analyses. Another limitation of this
measure is that it does not reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income taxes,
debt servicing costs, the share of Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization
related to noncontrolling interests, the results of the Companys equity investments or other
non-operational income or expense. Management compensates for this limitation through other
financial measures such as a review of net income (loss) attributable to TWC and net income (loss)
attributable to TWC per common share.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as cash
provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) plus excess tax benefits from the exercise
of stock options, less cash provided by (used by) discontinued operations, capital expenditures,
cash paid for other intangible assets, partnership distributions and principal payments on capital
leases. Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate the Companys business. The Company believes
this measure is an important indicator of its liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt
and make strategic investments, because it reflects the Companys operating cash flow after
considering the significant capital expenditures required to operate its business. A limitation of
this measure, however, is that it does not reflect payments made in connection with investments and
acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates such
expenditures through other financial measures such as return on investment analyses.
Both Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow should be
considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Companys Operating Income (Loss), net
income (loss) attributable to TWC and various cash flow measures (e.g., cash provided by operating
activities), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in
accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies. A reconciliation of Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization to
Operating Income (Loss) is presented under Results of Operations. A reconciliation of Free Cash
Flow to cash provided by operating activities is presented under Financial Condition and
Liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Basis of Presentation
Noncontrolling Interests
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). The provisions of FAS 160 establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, including the
accounting treatment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The provisions of FAS 160 became
effective for TWC on January 1, 2009 and have been applied prospectively, except for the provisions
related to the presentation of noncontrolling interests, which have been applied retrospectively
for all periods presented. During the first quarter of 2009, noncontrolling interests of $1.110
billion as of December 31, 2008 were reclassified to a component of total equity in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, minority
interest expense of $41 million ($24 million, net of tax) is excluded from net income in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Net income attributable to TWC per common share
for prior periods is not impacted.
Reverse Stock Split
In connection with the Separation Transactions, on March 12, 2009, the Company implemented the
TWC reverse stock split at a 1-for-3 ratio. The Company has recast the presentation of share and
per share data in the prior year financial statements to reflect the TWC reverse stock split.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial information to conform
to the March 31, 2009 presentation.
Recent Accounting Standards
See Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for other accounting
standards adopted in 2009.

level of service, encompassing video, high-speed data and voice services, without regard to
the number of services purchased. 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. |

(j) |

Triple play subscriber numbers reflect customers who subscribe to all three of the

Subscription revenues increased as a result of increases in video, high-speed data and voice
revenues. The increase in video revenues was primarily due to video price increases and the
continued growth of digital video subscriptions, which was partially offset by a decrease in basic
video subscribers (including the impact of the sale of a group of small cable systems in December
2008) and a decline in premium channel and transactional video-on-demand revenues. Commercial
video revenues were $60 million and $59 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Additional information regarding the major components of video revenues was as

High-speed data revenues increased primarily due to growth in residential high-speed data
subscribers and an increase in average revenues per commercial subscriber. Commercial high-speed
data revenues were $140 million and $120 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
The increase in voice revenues was due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers, partially
offset by a decrease in average revenues per subscriber. Commercial voice revenues were $13
million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Average monthly subscription revenues (which includes video, high-speed data and voice
revenues) per video subscriber (subscription ARPU) increased 8% to $107.60 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 from $99.65 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was
primarily a result of the increased penetration of digital video, high-speed data and Digital Phone
and higher video prices, partially offset by lower average voice revenues per Digital Phone
subscriber, as discussed above. Average monthly subscription revenues per customer relationship
increased to $96.26 for the three months ended March 31, 2009
from $90.17 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. Average monthly subscription revenues per revenue generating unit remained
essentially flat at $40.85 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $40.68 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008.
Advertising revenues decreased primarily due to a decline in Advertising revenues from
national, regional and local businesses. The Company expects that Advertising revenues will
decline in 2009 due to lower political advertising revenues and continued weakness in Advertising
revenues from national, regional and local businesses.

Costs of revenues increased 6%, primarily related to increases in video programming, employee
and voice costs. As a percentage of revenues, costs of revenues were 49% for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 compared to 48% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The increase in video programming costs was primarily due to contractual rate increases and
the expansion of service offerings, partially offset by lower costs resulting from a decline in
basic video subscribers and a decline in subscriptions to premium channels and transactional
video-on-demand purchases. Average programming costs per basic video subscriber increased 9% to
$25.56 per month for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $23.37 per month for the three
months ended March 31, 2008. The Company expects video programming costs to increase in 2009 at a
rate greater than that experienced in 2008, reflecting programming rate increases on existing
services, costs associated with retransmission consent agreements, digital video subscriber growth
and the expansion of service offerings.
Employee costs increased primarily due to higher headcount resulting from the continued growth
of digital video, high-speed data and Digital Phone services, as well as salary increases and an
increase in pension expense.
High-speed data costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of high-speed
data services, including network connectivity costs. High-speed data costs decreased primarily due
to a decline in certain customer care support service costs.
Voice costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of voice services,
including network connectivity costs. Voice costs increased primarily due to growth in Digital
Phone subscribers.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of lower
marketing costs. Employee costs remained flat as an increase in pension expense was primarily offset
by lower incentive compensation expense.
Restructuring costs. The results for three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 included
restructuring costs of $43 million and $2 million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2009,
TWC began a significant restructuring, primarily consisting of headcount reductions, and expects to
incur total restructuring charges of approximately $75 million during
2009, including the $43 million incurred during the first quarter of 2009. The Company expects to
eliminate approximately 1,200 positions during 2009, of which approximately 600 positions were
terminated during the first quarter of 2009.

Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization. Operating Income before Depreciation
and Amortization increased principally as a result of revenue growth (particularly growth in high
margin high-speed data revenues), partially offset by higher costs of revenues and restructuring
costs, as discussed above.
Depreciation expense. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily associated with
certain property, plant and equipment acquired in the 2006 transactions with Adelphia
Communications Corporation and Comcast Corporation that was fully depreciated subsequent to March
31, 2008, partially offset by purchases of customer premise equipment, scalable infrastructure and
line extensions occurring during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2008.
Amortization expense. Amortization expense in the first quarter of 2009 benefited from an approximate $11 million adjustment to reduce excess amortization recorded in prior years.
Operating Income. Operating Income increased primarily due to the increase in Operating
Income before Depreciation and Amortization and the decrease in depreciation expense and
amortization expense, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, increased primarily due to higher average debt
outstanding during the quarter. Additionally, interest expense, net, for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 included $13 million of debt issuance costs primarily related to the portion of the
upfront loan fees for the 2008 Bridge Facility that was expensed due to the repayment of all
borrowings outstanding under, and the resulting termination of, such facility with a portion of the
net proceeds of the March 2009 Bond Offering. As a result of the debt incurred to finance the
Special Dividend, including the
2008 Bond Offerings and the March 2009 Bond Offering, the Company expects that interest
expense, net, will increase significantly during the remainder of 2009 as compared to 2008.

The change in loss (income) from equity investments, net was primarily due to the impact of
losses incurred during the first quarter of 2009 by Clearwire Communications LLC, an equity-method
investment of the Company.
Income tax provision. TWCs income tax provision has been prepared as if the Company operated
as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $191 million and $182 million, respectively.
The effective tax rate was 51% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily a result of the passage of the
California state budget during the first quarter of 2009 that, in part, changed the methodology of
income tax apportionment in California. This tax law change resulted in an increase in state
deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding noncash tax provision of $38 million, which was
recorded in the first quarter of 2009. Absent this tax law change, the effective tax rate for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 would have been 41%.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests decreased slightly principally due to the changes in the ownership
structure of the Company as a result of the TW NY Exchange, which occurred in February 2009. Due to
these changes, the Company expects that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests will
decrease significantly during the remainder of 2009.
Net income attributable to TWC and basic and diluted net income attributable to TWC per common
share. Net income attributable to TWC was $164 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009
compared to $242 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Basic and diluted net income
attributable to TWC per common share were both $0.48 for the three months ended March 31, 2009
compared to $0.74 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Net income attributable to TWC and net
income attributable to TWC per common share decreased primarily due to an increase in interest
expense, net and the change in other expense (income), net, partially offset by an increase in
Operating Income, each as discussed above.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund
its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. There are no significant maturities of
the Companys long-term debt prior to February 2011. TWCs sources of cash include cash provided by
operating activities, cash and equivalents on hand, borrowing capacity under its committed credit
facilities and commercial paper program, as well as access to capital markets.
TWCs unused committed capacity was $3.688 billion as of March 31, 2009, reflecting $396
million of cash and equivalents and $3.292 billion of available borrowing capacity under the
Companys $5.875 billion Revolving Credit Facility.

Current Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $23.158 billion of debt, $396 million of cash and
equivalents (net debt of $22.762 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $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 $7.581 billion of total TWC shareholders equity. As of December 31, 2008, the Company
had $17.728 billion of debt, $5.449 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $12.279 billion),
$300 million of TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units and $17.164 billion of total TWC
shareholders equity.

As discussed in OverviewRecent DevelopmentsMarch 2009 Bond Offering and Termination of
Lending Commitments, the Shelf Registration Statement on file with the SEC allows TWC to offer and
sell from time to time senior and subordinated debt securities and debt warrants.
The Company invests its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market, government and
treasury funds, as well as bank certificates of deposit, in accordance with the Companys
investment policy of diversifying its investments and limiting the amount of its investments in a
single entity or fund. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company invested a portion of the net
cash proceeds of its June 2008 public bond offering in The Reserve Funds Primary Fund (The
Reserve Fund). On the morning of September 15, 2008, the Company requested a full redemption of
its $490 million investment in The Reserve Fund, but the redemption request was not honored. On
September 22, 2008, The Reserve Fund announced that redemptions of shares were suspended pursuant
to an SEC order requested by The Reserve Fund so that an orderly liquidation could be effected.
Through March 31, 2009, the Company received $419 million from The Reserve Fund representing its
pro rata share of partial distributions made by The Reserve Fund. The Company believes that it is
legally entitled to a return of its entire investment in The Reserve Fund. However, during the
first quarter of 2009, The Reserve Fund announced that it was establishing a $3.5 billion special
reserve for legal and other costs that would not be distributed to investors until all claims are
resolved. As a result, the Company recorded a $10 million impairment of its investment in The
Reserve Fund during the first quarter of 2009, which is included in other income (expense), net, in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The $61 million receivable from The Reserve
Fund as of March 31, 2009 is classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On April 3, 2009, the Company commenced a lawsuit in the
New York State Supreme Court against The Reserve Fund alleging, among other things, that The
Reserve Fund has breached its contractual obligations to the Company and seeking full payment of
the amount of its outstanding obligation with interest. On April 17, 2009, the Company received an
additional $22 million from The Reserve Fund bringing its remaining receivable to $39 million.
Cash Flows
Cash and equivalents decreased by $5.053 billion and $6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Components of these changes are discussed below in more

(b) |

Cash provided by operating activities decreased from $1.186 billion for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 to $1.141 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was
primarily related to an increase in net interest payments, partially offset by an increase in
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (as previously discussed), the change in
restructuring accruals (payments), net and an increase in net income taxes refunded. The increase
in net interest payments resulted from higher average debt
outstanding during the first quarter of 2009, as well
as the timing of interest payments. Net income taxes refunded benefited from a net reimbursement
from Time Warner in accordance with a tax sharing arrangement between TWC and Time Warner.
Net income taxes paid in 2009 is expected to benefit from the impact of the accelerated
depreciation deductions provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, partially
offset by the reversal of a portion of similar benefits received in 2008 from the Economic Stimulus
Act of 2008. These Acts provide for a first year bonus depreciation deduction of 50% of the cost of
the Companys qualified capital expenditures for the year.
As a result of the 2008 Bond Offerings and the March 2009 Bond Offering, the Company expects
that its net interest payments will continue to increase significantly during the remainder of 2009
as compared to 2008.
The Company anticipates making discretionary cash contributions of at least $150 million to
its funded defined benefit pension plans during 2009, subject to market conditions and other
considerations, $40 million of which has been contributed as of March 31, 2009.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Cash used by investing activities decreased from $841 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 to $759 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was principally
due to a decrease in capital expenditures. The Company expects that capital expenditures will be lower in 2009 as compared to
2008.
TWCs capital expenditures included the following major categories (in millions):

(a) |
| Amounts represent costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment that
resides at a customers home or business for the purpose of receiving/sending video,
high-speed data and/or voice signals. Such equipment includes digital (including
high-definition) set-top boxes, remote controls, high-speed data modems, telephone modems and
the costs of installing such new equipment. Customer premise equipment also includes materials
and labor incurred to install the drop cable that connects a customers dwelling or business
to the closest point of the main distribution network. |
|
(b) |
| Amounts represent costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment that
controls signal reception, processing and transmission throughout TWCs distribution network,
as well as controls and communicates with the equipment residing at a customers home or
business. Also included in scalable infrastructure is certain equipment necessary for content
aggregation and distribution (video-on-demand equipment) and equipment necessary to provide
certain video, high-speed data and Digital Phone service features (voicemail, e-mail, etc.). |
|
(c) |
| Amounts represent costs incurred to extend TWCs distribution network into a
geographic area previously not served. These costs typically include network design, the
purchase and installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and certain electronic equipment. |
|
(d) |
| Amounts primarily represent costs incurred to upgrade or replace certain existing
components or an entire geographic area of TWCs distribution network. These costs typically
include network design, the purchase and installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and
certain electronic equipment. |
|
(e) |
| Amounts represent all other capital purchases required to run day-to-day operations.
These costs typically include vehicles, land and buildings, computer hardware/software, office
equipment, furniture and fixtures, tools and test equipment. Amounts include capitalized
software costs of $32 million and $48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively. |
TWC incurs expenditures associated with the construction of its cable systems. Costs
associated with the construction of the cable transmission and distribution facilities and new
cable service installations are capitalized. TWC generally capitalizes expenditures for tangible
fixed assets having a useful life of greater than one year. Capitalized costs include direct
material, labor and overhead, as well as interest. Sales and marketing costs, as well as the costs
of repairing or maintaining existing fixed assets, are expensed as incurred. With respect to
certain customer premise equipment, which includes set-top boxes and high-speed data and telephone
cable modems, TWC capitalizes installation charges only upon the initial deployment of these
assets. All costs incurred in subsequent disconnects and reconnects are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation on these assets is provided generally using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. For set-top boxes and modems, the useful life is 3 to 5 years, and, for
distribution plant, the useful life is up to 16 years.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Cash used by financing activities increased from $351 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 to $5.435 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was principally
due to the payment of the Special Dividend, partially offset by the net proceeds of the March 2009
Bond Offering and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Lending Commitments
Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (LBB), a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. (Lehman),
was a lender under the Revolving Credit Facility. On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed a petition
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York. On March 3, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolving
Credit Facility to terminate LBBs $125 million commitment under such facility. As a result of this
termination, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced from $6.000
billion to $5.875 billion.
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in
revenues, Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization, cash provided by operating
activities and other financial measures. Words such as anticipates, estimates, expects,
projects, intends, plans, believes and words and terms of similar substance used in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on managements current
expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are
inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no
obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking
statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in
the future and cause TWCs 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 2008 Form 10-K, and in TWCs other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the
date of this report. In addition, the Company operates in a highly competitive, consumer and
technology-driven and rapidly changing business. The Companys business is affected by government
regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions, consumer response to new and
existing products and services, technological developments and, particularly in view of new
technologies, its continued ability to protect and secure any necessary intellectual property
rights. TWCs actual results could differ materially from managements expectations because of
changes in such factors.
Further, lower than expected valuations associated with the Companys cash flows and revenues
may result in the Companys inability to realize the value of recorded intangibles and goodwill.
Additionally, achieving the Companys financial objectives could be adversely affected by the
factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2008 Form 10-K, as well as:
|
|
| a longer than anticipated continuation of the current economic slowdown or further
deterioration in the economy; |
|
|
|
| any reduction in the Companys ability to access the capital markets for debt securities
or bank financings, including as a result of current liquidity issues affecting the capital
markets; |
|
|
|
| the impact of terrorist acts and hostilities; |
|
|
|
| changes in the Companys plans, strategies and intentions; |
|
|
|
| the impacts of significant acquisitions, dispositions and other similar transactions; and |
|
|
|
| the failure to meet earnings expectations. |

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under 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
Companys 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 SECs rules and forms
and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, TWC or the Company) is the
second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered systems
located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas,
Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of March 31, 2009, TWC served
approximately 14.7 million residential and commercial customers who subscribed to one or more of
its video, high-speed data and voice services, representing approximately 34.8 million revenue
generating units.
As of December 31, 2008, Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) owned approximately 84% of the
common stock of TWC (representing a 90.6% voting interest), and also owned an indirect 12.43%
non-voting common stock interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY), a subsidiary of TWC.
Additionally, the financial results of TWC were consolidated by Time Warner. As discussed further
in Note 3, on March 12, 2009, TWC completed its separation from Time Warner. As a result of the
separation, Time Warner no longer has an ownership interest in TWC.
TWC
principally offers three services video, high-speed data and
voice over its
broadband cable systems. TWC markets its services separately and in bundled packages of multiple
services and features. As of March 31, 2009, 55% of TWCs customers subscribed to two or more of
its primary services, including 22% of its customers who subscribed to all three primary services.
In addition to its residential services, TWC offers commercial customers video, high-speed data,
voice and networking and transport services. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, TWC
generated over $200 million of revenues from its commercial services. In addition, TWC sells
advertising to a variety of national, regional and local advertising customers.
Video is TWCs largest service in terms of revenues generated and, as of March 31, 2009, TWC
had approximately 13.1 million video subscribers, of which approximately 8.7 million subscribed to
TWCs digital video service. Although providing video services is a competitive and highly
penetrated business, TWC expects to continue to increase video revenues through the offering of
digital video services, as well as through price increases.
As of March 31, 2009, TWC had approximately 8.7 million residential high-speed data
subscribers. TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services and had 283,000 commercial
high-speed data subscribers as of March 31, 2009.
As of March 31, 2009, TWC had approximately 3.9 million residential Digital Phone subscribers.
TWC also offers its commercial Digital Phone service, Business Class Phone, in nearly all of its
operating areas and had 38,000 commercial Digital Phone subscribers as of March 31, 2009.
Basis of Presentation
Changes in Basis of Presentation
TWC Reverse Stock Split. As discussed more fully in Note 3, in connection with TWCs
separation from Time Warner, on March 12, 2009, the Company implemented a reverse stock split of
TWC common stock (the TWC reverse stock split) at a 1-for-3 ratio. The Company has recast the
presentation of share and per share data in the prior year financial statements to reflect the TWC
reverse stock split.
Transactions with Affiliated Parties. As discussed more fully in Note 3, upon completion of
TWCs separation from Time Warner, Time Warner and its affiliates are no longer related parties to
TWC. For the periods prior to TWCs separation from Time Warner, TWC has disclosed transactions with Time
Warner and its affiliates in the financial statements as related party transactions.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest.
Prior to TWCs separation from Time Warner on March 12, 2009, the consolidated financial statements
also include allocations of certain Time Warner corporate costs
21
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
deemed reasonable by management to present the Companys consolidated financial position, results
of operations, cash flows and changes in equity on a stand-alone basis. The Time Warner corporate
costs include specified administrative services, including selected tax, human resources, legal,
information technology, treasury, financial, public policy and corporate and investor relations
services, and approximate Time Warners estimated cost for services rendered. In accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (revised 2003), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entitiesan interpretation of ARB No. 51, the consolidated financial
statements include the results of Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership
(TWE-A/N) only for the 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 asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, investments,
depreciation and amortization, business combinations, pension benefits, equity-based compensation,
income taxes, contingencies and certain programming arrangements. 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 years financial information to conform
to the March 31, 2009 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2008 (the 2008 Form 10-K).
Net Income Attributable to TWC per Common Share
Basic net income attributable to TWC per common share is computed by dividing net income
attributable to TWC by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. For
the three months ended March 31, 2008, weighted-average common shares include shares of Class A
common stock and Class B common stock. Diluted net income attributable to TWC per common share
adjusts basic net income attributable to TWC per common share for the effects of stock options and
restricted stock units only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Set forth below is a
reconciliation of basic and diluted net income attributable to TWC per common share (in millions,
except per share data):

Investment in The Reserve Fund
The Company invests its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market, government and
treasury funds, as well as bank certificates of deposit, in accordance with the Companys
investment policy of diversifying its investments and limiting the amount of its investments in a
single entity or fund. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company invested a portion of the net
cash proceeds of its June 2008 public bond offering in The Reserve Funds Primary Fund (The
Reserve Fund). On the morning of September 15, 2008, the Company requested a full redemption of
its $490 million investment in The Reserve Fund, but the redemption request was not honored. On
September 22, 2008, The Reserve Fund announced that redemptions of shares were suspended pursuant
to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) order requested by The Reserve Fund so that an
orderly liquidation could be effected. Through March 31, 2009, the Company received $419 million
from The Reserve Fund representing its pro rata share of partial distributions made by The Reserve
Fund. The Company believes that it is legally entitled to a return of its entire investment in The
Reserve Fund. However, during the first quarter of 2009, The Reserve Fund announced that it was
establishing a $3.5 billion special reserve for legal and other costs that would not be distributed
to investors until all claims are resolved. As a result, the Company recorded a $10 million
impairment of its investment in The Reserve Fund during the first quarter of 2009, which is
included in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statement of operations. The $61
million receivable from The Reserve Fund as of March 31, 2009 is classified as prepaid expenses and
other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. On April 3, 2009, the Company commenced a
lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against The Reserve Fund alleging, among other things,
that The Reserve Fund has breached its contractual obligations to the Company and seeking full
payment of the amount of its outstanding obligation with interest. On April 17, 2009, the Company
received an additional $22 million from The Reserve Fund bringing its remaining receivable to $39
million.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2009
Noncontrolling Interests
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). The provisions of FAS 160 establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, including the
accounting treatment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The provisions of FAS 160 became
effective for TWC on January 1, 2009 and have been applied prospectively, except for the provisions
related to the presentation of noncontrolling interests, which have been applied retrospectively
for all periods presented. During the first quarter of 2009, noncontrolling interests of $1.110
billion as of December 31, 2008 were reclassified to a component of total equity in the
consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, minority interest expense
of $41 million ($24 million, net of tax) is excluded from net income in the consolidated statement
of operations. Net income attributable to TWC per common share for prior periods is not impacted.
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating
Securities
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) EITF Issue No. 03-6-1, Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP
EITF 03-6-1), in which the FASB concluded that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards
that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are considered
participating securities. Because the awards are considered participating securities, the issuing
entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share.
The provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 became effective for TWC on January 1, 2009 and are being
applied retrospectively to all prior-period earnings per share computations. The adoption of FSP
EITF 03-6-1 did not impact net income attributable to TWC per common share for prior periods and is
not expected to have an impact on future periods until such time as TWC declares a regular
quarterly dividend.
Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(FAS 141R). FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business
combination (i) recognizes and measures in
23
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures goodwill acquired in a
business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines what information to
disclose to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of
the business combination. In addition, FAS 141R requires that changes in the amount of acquired
tax attributes be included in the Companys results of operations. FAS 141R became effective for
TWC on January 1, 2009 and will be applied to business combinations that have an acquisition date
on or after January 1, 2009. While FAS 141R applies only to business combinations with an
acquisition date after its effective date, the amendments to FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes (FAS 109), with respect to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and liabilities
for income tax uncertainties, are being applied to all deferred tax valuation allowances and
liabilities for income tax uncertainties recognized in prior business combinations. The adoption
of FAS 141R has not impacted the Companys consolidated financial statements for prior periods;
however, the Companys financial statements may be impacted to the extent the Company acquires
entities in a purchase business combination in the future.
3. SEPARATION FROM TIME WARNER, RECAPITALIZATION AND TWC REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On March 12, 2009, the separation of TWC from Time Warner was completed pursuant to a
Separation Agreement dated as of May 20, 2008 (the Separation Agreement) between TWC and its
subsidiaries, Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY, and Time Warner and its
subsidiaries, Warner Communications Inc. (WCI), Historic TW Inc. (Historic TW) and American
Television and Communications Corporation (ATC). In accordance with the Separation Agreement, on
February 25, 2009, Historic TW transferred its 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY to
TWC in exchange for 80 million newly issued shares of TWCs Class A common stock (the TW NY
Exchange). On March 12, 2009, TWC paid a special cash dividend of $10.27 per share ($30.81 per
share after giving effect to the 1-for-3 TWC reverse stock split discussed below, aggregating
$10.856 billion) to holders of record on March 11, 2009 of TWCs outstanding Class A common stock
and Class B common stock, which included Time Warner (the Special Dividend). Following the
receipt by Time Warner of its share of the Special Dividend, TWC filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, pursuant to which,
among other things, each outstanding share of TWC Class A common stock (including the shares of
Class A common stock issued in the TW NY Exchange) and TWC Class B common stock was automatically
converted (the Recapitalization) into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
TWC Common Stock). After the Recapitalization, TWCs separation from Time Warner (the
Separation) was effected as a pro rata dividend of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time
Warner to holders of record of Time Warners common stock (the Spin-Off Dividend or the
Distribution) as of 8:00 pm on March 12, 2009, the record date for the Spin-Off Dividend. On
March 12, 2009, Time Warner deposited its shares of TWC Common Stock with an agent and, at the
record date for the Spin-Off Dividend, was deemed to no longer beneficially own such shares. On
March 27, 2009, the distribution date for the Spin-Off Dividend, all of these shares of TWC Common
Stock were distributed. The TW NY Exchange, the Special Dividend, the Recapitalization, the
Separation and the Distribution collectively are referred to as the Separation Transactions.
To pay a portion of the Special Dividend, on March 12, 2009, TWC borrowed (i) the full
committed amount of $1.932 billion under its 364-day senior unsecured term loan facility (the 2008
Bridge Facility) and (ii) approximately $3.3 billion under its senior unsecured five-year
revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility). The Company funded the remainder of
the Special Dividend with approximately $5.6 billion of cash on hand.
In connection with the Separation Transactions, on March 12, 2009, the Company implemented the
TWC reverse stock split at a 1-for-3 ratio, effective immediately after the Recapitalization. The
shares of TWC Common Stock distributed in the Spin-Off Dividend gave effect to both the
Recapitalization and the TWC reverse stock split.

agreement leverage ratios relating to such debt and financing arrangements.
March 2009 Bond Offering
On March 26, 2009, TWC issued $3.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
notes (the March 2009 Bond Offering) under a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed
during 2008 with the SEC that allows TWC to offer and sell from time to time senior and
subordinated debt securities and debt warrants. The March 2009 Bond Offering consisted of $1.0
billion principal amount of 7.50% notes due 2014 (the 2014 Notes) and $2.0 billion principal
amount of 8.25% notes due 2019 (the 2019 Notes and, together with the 2014 Notes, the 2009 Debt
Securities). The 2009 Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY (the Guarantors). The
Company used $1.934 billion of the net proceeds from the March 2009 Bond Offering to repay all of
the borrowings outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility, as well as accrued interest and
commitment fees.
The 2009 Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007, as
it may be amended from time to time (the Indenture), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and
The Bank of New York, as trustee. The Indenture contains customary covenants relating to
restrictions on the ability of the Company or any material subsidiary to create liens and on the
ability of the Company and the Guarantors to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially
all of their assets. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.
The 2014 Notes mature on April 1, 2014 and the 2019 Notes mature on April 1, 2019. Interest
on the 2009 Debt Securities is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each
year, beginning on October 1, 2009. The 2009 Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of
the Company and rank equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The
guarantees of the 2009 Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Guarantors and rank
equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the
Guarantors.
The 2009 Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at the Companys
option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2009
Debt Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments on the 2009 Debt Securities discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at a
government treasury rate plus 50 basis points for each of the 2014 Notes and the 2019 Notes as

further described in the Indenture and the 2009 Debt Securities, plus, in each case, accrued but
unpaid interest to the redemption date.
Lending Commitments
Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (LBB), a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. (Lehman),
was a lender under the Revolving Credit Facility. On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed a petition
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York. On March 3, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolving
Credit Facility to terminate LBBs $125 million commitment under such facility. As a result of
this termination, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced from
$6.000 billion to $5.875 billion.
2008 Bridge Facility
On March 12, 2009, TWC borrowed the full committed amount under the 2008 Bridge Facility in
order to fund, in part, the Special Dividend. The Company used $1.934 billion of the net proceeds
from the March 2009 Bond Offering to repay all of the borrowings outstanding and all other amounts
under the 2008 Bridge Facility. Upon repayment of the borrowings outstanding under the 2008 Bridge
Facility, such facility was terminated by the parties thereto in accordance with its terms.
Supplemental Credit Agreement
As a result of the March 2009 Bond Offering and the termination of the 2008 Bridge Facility,
the Company terminated Time Warners commitment (as lender) under a two-year $1.535 billion senior
unsecured supplemental term loan facility, and the credit agreement governing such facility was
terminated in accordance with its terms.
Debt Issuance Costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $11
million in connection with the 2009 Bond Offering. These capitalized costs are amortized over the
terms of the related debt instruments and are included as a component of interest expense, net, in
the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company
expensed $13 million of debt issuance costs, which is included as a component of interest expense,
net, in the consolidated statement of operations. The debt issuance costs primarily relate to the
portion of the upfront loan fees for the 2008 Bridge Facility that was expensed due to the
repayment of all borrowings outstanding under, and the resulting termination of, such facility with
a portion of the net proceeds of the March 2009 Bond Offering.
5. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
TWC Equity Plan
The Company has granted options to purchase TWC Common Stock and restricted stock units
(RSUs) to its employees and non-employee directors under the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006 Stock
Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan). TWC recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of equity
awards according to the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment.
In connection with the Separation, the 2006 Plan was amended, among other things, to increase
the number of shares of TWC Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 17.2 million shares.
As a result, as of March 31, 2009, the Company was authorized to issue up to 50.5 million shares
of TWC Common Stock under the 2006 Plan (which also reflects certain Separation-related adjustments
effected pursuant to the 2006 Plan and the 1-for-3 TWC reverse stock split).
Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan have exercise prices equal to the fair market value
of TWC Common Stock at the date of grant. Generally, the stock options vest ratably over a
four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the
date of grant. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantees
election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined benefit pension plans or a voluntary termination of
employment after reaching a specified age and years of service. In connection with the payment of
the Special Dividend and the TWC reverse stock split, adjustments were made to the number of shares
and exercise prices of outstanding TWC stock options to maintain the fair value of those awards.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
These adjustments were made pursuant to existing antidilution provisions in the 2006 Plan and
related award agreements and therefore, did not result in the recognition of incremental
compensation expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, TWC granted approximately 4.9 million stock options
at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $9.18 ($5.51, net of tax) per option. For the three
months ended March 31, 2008, TWC granted approximately 3.6 million stock options at a
weighted-average grant date fair value of $13.23 ($7.94, net of tax) per option. The table below
presents the weighted-average values of the assumptions used to value TWC stock options at their
grant date for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, the Company also granted RSU awards, which generally vest 50% on
the third anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the fourth anniversary. RSU awards provide for
accelerated vesting upon a termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of
service. Shares of TWC Common Stock will generally be issued at the end of the vesting period of an
RSU. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions
and the shares underlying the RSUs will be issued in connection with a directors termination of
service as a director. Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive dividend equivalents or
retained distributions related to regular dividends or distributions, respectively, paid by TWC.
In connection with the Special Dividend, holders of TWC RSUs could elect to receive the
retained distribution on their TWC RSUs related to the Special Dividend (the Special Dividend
retained distribution) in the form of cash (payable upon vesting of the underlying RSUs) or in the
form of additional RSUs (with the same vesting dates as the underlying RSUs). In connection with
these elections, the Company (a) granted approximately 1.3 million RSUs and (b) established a
liability of $46 million in other liabilities and TWC shareholders equity in the consolidated
balance sheet for the estimated Special Dividend retained distribution to be paid in cash, taking
into account estimated forfeitures. In addition, in connection with the 1-for-3 TWC reverse stock
split, and pursuant to the 2006 Plan and related award agreements, adjustments were made to reduce
the number of outstanding RSUs. Neither the payment of the Special Dividend retained distribution
(in cash or additional RSUs) or the adjustment to reflect the 1-for-3 TWC reverse stock split
results in the recognition of incremental compensation expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, TWC granted approximately 1.2 million RSUs at a
weighted-average grant date fair value of $54.44 per RSU and approximately 1.3 million RSUs as
Special Dividend retained distributions at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $24.99 per
RSU. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, TWC granted 919,000 RSUs at a weighted-average
grant date fair value of $82.53 per RSU.

Time Warner Equity Plans
Prior to 2007, Time Warner granted options to purchase Time Warner common stock and shares of
Time Warner common stock (restricted stock) or RSUs under its equity plans (collectively, the
Time Warner Equity Awards) to employees of TWC. Time Warner has not granted Time Warner Equity
Awards to employees of TWC since TWC common stock began to trade publicly in March 2007. In
addition, employees of Time Warner who became employed by TWC retained their Time Warner Equity
Awards pursuant to their terms and TWC recorded equity-based compensation expense from the date of
transfer through the end of the applicable vesting period. The stock options granted by Time
Warner to employees of TWC were granted with exercise prices equal to, or in excess of, the fair
market value of a share of Time Warner common stock at the date of grant. Generally, the stock
options vested ratably over a four-year vesting period and expired ten years from the date of
grant. The awards of restricted stock or RSUs generally vested between three to five years from
the date of grant. Holders of Time Warner restricted stock and RSU awards were generally entitled
to receive cash dividends or dividend equivalents, respectively, paid by Time Warner during the
period of time that the restricted stock or RSU awards were unvested. Certain Time Warner stock
options and RSU awards provided for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire pursuant to
TWCs defined benefit pension plans or a voluntary termination of employment after reaching a
specified age and years of service.
In connection with the Spin-Off Dividend and the 1-for-3 reverse stock split implemented by
Time Warner on March 27, 2009, and as provided for in Time Warners equity plans, the number of
outstanding Time Warner stock options and RSUs and the exercise prices of such stock options were
adjusted to maintain the fair value of those awards. These adjustments were made pursuant to
existing antidilution provisions in Time Warners equity plans and therefore, did not result in the
recognition of incremental compensation expense for the Company.
Under the terms of Time Warners equity plans and related award agreements, as a result of the
Separation, TWC employees who held Time Warner equity awards were treated as if their employment
with Time Warner had been terminated without cause at the time of the Separation. This treatment
resulted in the forfeiture of unvested stock options and shortened exercise periods for vested
stock options and pro rata vesting of the next installment of (and forfeiture of the remainder of)
the RSU awards for those TWC employees who did not satisfy retirement-treatment eligibility
provisions in the Time Warner equity plans and related award agreements. During the second quarter
of 2009, TWC plans to grant make-up TWC equity or cash
payment awards to TWC employees that
are generally intended to offset any loss of economic value in Time Warner equity awards as a
result of the Separation. Such awards, valued in the aggregate at approximately $12 million, will primarily be expensed over a period of approximately one year beginning in the second quarter of 2009.
Upon exercise of Time Warner stock options, TWC is obligated to reimburse Time Warner for the
excess of the market price of the stock on the day of exercise over the option price (the
intrinsic value of the award). Historically, TWC has recorded a stock option distribution
liability for the intrinsic value of vested and outstanding Time Warner stock options held by TWC
employees. The liability was adjusted each reporting period to reflect changes in the market price
of Time Warner common stock and the number of Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees with
an offsetting adjustment to shareholders equity. Beginning on March 12, 2009, the date of TWCs
separation from Time Warner, TWC began accounting for TWCs stock option reimbursement obligation
to Time Warner in accordance with FASB Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, (FAS 133) for the reason that Time Warner is no longer a related party. On
March 12, 2009, TWC established a liability of $16 million for the estimated fair value of the stock option reimbursement obligation in other liabilities with an offsetting adjustment to
TWC shareholders equity in the
28
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
consolidated balance sheet. The change in the stock option
reimbursement obligation fluctuates primarily with the fair value of Time Warners common stock and, in
accordance with FAS 133, the change is recorded in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated
statement of operations in the period of change rather than as an adjustment to TWC shareholders
equity. As of March 31, 2009, the stock option reimbursement obligation was $18 million, which was
estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, TWC
recognized $2 million in other income (expense), net, related to the increase in the estimated fair
value of the stock option reimbursement obligation.

6. PENSION COSTS
The Company participates in various funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit
pension plans administered by Time Warner through October 31, 2008 and by the Company thereafter.
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
plans. A summary of the components of net periodic benefit costs and contributions is as follows

After considering the funded status of the Companys defined benefit pension plans, movements
in the discount rate, investment performance and related tax consequences, the Company may choose
to make contributions to its pension plans in any given year. As of March 31, 2009, there were no
minimum required contributions for TWCs funded plans. However, the Company anticipates making
discretionary cash contributions of at least $150 million to its funded defined benefit pension
plans during 2009, subject to market conditions and other considerations, $40 million of which has
been contributed as of March 31, 2009. For the Companys unfunded plan, contributions will
continue to be made to the extent

benefits are paid. Benefit payments for the unfunded plan are expected to be $11 million in
2009, $1 million of which has been paid as of March 31, 2009.
7. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
2009 Restructuring Activity
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company began a significant restructuring, primarily
consisting of headcount reductions, to improve operating efficiency, and through March 31, 2009,
the Company incurred restructuring costs of $43 million related to this restructuring and made
payments of $16 million against this accrual. Of the remaining $27 million liability, $22 million
is classified as a current liability, with the remaining $5 million classified as a noncurrent
liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009. Amounts are expected to be paid
through 2012. The Company expects to eliminate approximately 1,200 positions during 2009, of which
approximately 600 positions were terminated during the first quarter of 2009. Information relating
to this restructuring plan is as follows (in millions):

2008 and Prior Restructuring Activity
Between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2008, the Company underwent a restructuring plan to
simplify its organizational structure and enhance its customer focus, and incurred restructuring
costs of $80 million related to this plan. Through March 31, 2009, payments of $74 million ($3
million in the first quarter of 2009) have been made against this accrual. Of the remaining $6
million liability, $4 million is classified as a current liability, with the remaining $2 million
classified as a noncurrent liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009.
Amounts are expected to be paid through 2011. Information relating to this restructuring plan is

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
On September 20, 2007, Brantley, et al. v. NBC Universal, Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California against the Company. The complaint, which
also named as defendants several other cable and satellite providers (collectively, the
distributor defendants) as well as programming content providers (collectively, the programmer
defendants), alleged violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Among other
things, the complaint alleged coordination between and among the programmer defendants to sell
and/or license programming on a bundled basis to the distributor defendants, who in turn
purportedly offer that programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather than on a per channel
(or à la carte) basis. Plaintiffs, who seek to represent a purported nationwide class of cable
and satellite subscribers, demand, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an
injunction to compel the offering of channels to subscribers on an à la carte basis. On December
3, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in this action (the First Amended Complaint) that,
among other things, dropped the Section 2 claims and all allegations of horizontal coordination.
On December 21, 2007, the distributor defendants, including TWC, and the
30
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
programmer defendants filed motions to dismiss the First Amended Complaint. On March 10, 2008,
the court granted these motions, dismissing the First Amended Complaint with leave to amend. On
March 20, 2008, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint (the Second Amended Complaint) that
modified certain aspects of the First Amended Complaint in an attempt to address the deficiencies
noted by the court in its prior dismissal order. On April 22, 2008, the distributor defendants, including the Company, and
the programmer defendants filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended
Complaint, which motions were denied by the court on June 25, 2008. On July 14, 2008, the
distributor defendants and the programmer defendants filed motions requesting the court to certify
its June 25, 2008 order for interlocutory appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit, which motions were denied by the district court on August 4, 2008. The Company intends to
defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On June 22, 2005, Mecklenburg County filed suit against TWE-A/N in the General Court of
Justice District Court Division, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Mecklenburg County, the
franchisor in TWE-A/Ns Mecklenburg County cable system, alleges that TWE-A/Ns predecessor failed
to construct an institutional network in 1981 and that TWE-A/N assumed that obligation upon the
transfer of the franchise in 1995. Mecklenburg County is seeking compensatory damages and TWE-A/Ns
release of certain video channels it is currently using on the cable system. On April 14, 2006,
TWE-A/N filed a motion for summary judgment, which is pending. TWE-A/N intends to defend against
this lawsuit vigorously.
On June 16, 1998, plaintiffs in Andrew Parker and Eric DeBrauwere, et al. v. Time Warner
Entertainment Company, L.P. and Time Warner Cable filed a purported nationwide class action in U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of New York claiming that TWE sold its subscribers
personally identifiable information and failed to inform subscribers of their privacy rights in
violation of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 and common law. The plaintiffs seek
damages and declaratory and injunctive relief. On August 6, 1998, TWE filed a motion to dismiss,
which was denied on September 7, 1999. On December 8, 1999, TWE filed a motion to deny class
certification, which was granted on January 9, 2001 with respect to monetary damages, but denied
with respect to injunctive relief. On June 2, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit vacated the district courts decision denying class certification as a matter of law and
remanded the case for further proceedings on class certification and other matters. On May 4,
2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which the Company opposed. On October 25,
2005, the court granted preliminary approval of a class settlement arrangement, but final approval
of that settlement was denied on January 26, 2007. The parties subsequently reached a revised
settlement to resolve this action on terms that are not material to the Company and submitted their
agreement to the district court on April 2, 2008. On May 8, 2008, the district court granted
preliminary approval of the settlement, but it is still subject to final approval by the district
court, and there can be no assurance that the settlement will receive this approval. Absent the
issuance of final court approval of the revised settlement, the Company intends to defend against
this lawsuit vigorously.
Certain Patent Litigation
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 TWC and several other cable
operators, among other defendants, infringe a number of patents purportedly relating to the
Companys 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 Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Order
transferring the case 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 and August 4, 2008, the court
issued orders granting, in part, and denying, in part, those motions. Defendants filed additional
individual motions for summary judgment in August 2008, which argued, among other things, that
defendants respective products do not infringe the surviving claims in plaintiffs patents. Those
motions have been fully briefed. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On June 1, 2006, Rembrandt Technologies, LP (Rembrandt) filed a complaint in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and a number of other
cable operators infringed several patents purportedly related to a variety of technologies,
including high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. In addition, on September 13, 2006,
Rembrandt filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging
that the Company infringes several patents purportedly related to high-speed cable modem internet
products and services. In each of these cases, the plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary
damages as well as injunctive relief. On June 18, 2007,
31

(Unaudited)
these cases, along with other lawsuits filed by Rembrandt, were made subject to an MDL Order
transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the District of
Delaware. The Company intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously.
On April 26, 2005, Acacia Media Technologies (AMT) filed suit against TWC in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that TWC infringes several patents
held by AMT. AMT has publicly taken the position that delivery of broadcast video (except live
programming such as sporting events), pay-per-view, VOD and ad insertion services over cable
systems infringe its patents. AMT has brought similar actions regarding the same patents against
numerous other entities, and all of the previously pending litigations have been made the subject
of an MDL Order consolidating the actions for pretrial activity in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California. On October 25, 2005, the TWC action was consolidated into the MDL
proceedings. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief.
The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes
their intellectual property rights. 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 may require the Company to indemnify the other
party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the
Companys 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.
As part of the 2003 restructuring of TWE, Time Warner agreed to indemnify the cable businesses
of TWE 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 cable businesses of TWE against such liabilities, TWE remains a named party
in certain litigation matters.
The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations,
legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments
and investigations, claims and changes in those 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 Companys business,
financial condition and operating results.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY and,
together with TWE, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) are subsidiaries of Time Warner Cable Inc. (the
Parent Company). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally, jointly and
severally, directly or indirectly, guaranteed the debt issued by the Parent Company in its 2007
registered exchange offer and its 2008 and 2009 public offerings. The Parent Company owns 100% of
the voting interests, directly or indirectly, of both TWE and TW NY.
The Securities and Exchange Commissions rules require that condensed consolidating financial
information be provided for subsidiaries that have guaranteed debt of a registrant issued in a
public offering, where each such guarantee is full and unconditional and where the voting interests
of the subsidiaries are 100% owned by the registrant. Set forth below are condensed consolidating
financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of
(i) the Parent Company, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis (as such guarantees are
joint and several), (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.
There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Companys ability to obtain funds
from any of its subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of Time Warner Cable Inc.
Basis of Presentation
In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of
accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Companys interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be
consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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.
The accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets,
have been allocated to the applicable subsidiaries. Interest income (expense) is determined based
on third-party debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the respective legal entity.
Prior to March 12, 2009, Time Warner Cable Inc. was not a separate taxable entity for U.S.
federal and various state income tax purposes and its results were included in the consolidated
U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Time Warner Inc. In the condensed
consolidating financial statements, tax expense has been presented based on each subsidiarys legal
entity basis. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been presented based upon the temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
Costs incurred by the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries are allocated to the various entities based on the relative usage of such expenses.
