MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

INTRODUCTION

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

•

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

•

Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This analysis is presented on both a consolidated and reportable segment basis.

•

Financial condition and liquidity. This section provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of March 31, 2016 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

•

Caution concerning forward-looking statements. This section provides a description of the use of forward-looking information appearing in this report, including in MD&A and the consolidated financial statements. Such information is based on management’s current expectations about future events, which are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”) for a discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Company.

OVERVIEW

TWC is among the largest providers of video, high-speed data and voice services in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered cable systems located mainly in five geographic areas – New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, the Midwest (including Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin), Southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. TWC’s mission is to connect its customers to the world—simply, reliably and with superior service. As of March 31, 2016, TWC served approximately 16.1 million residential and business services customers who subscribed to one or more of its video, high-speed data and voice services. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, TWC’s revenue increased 7.2% to approximately $6.2 billion.

Recent Developments

Charter Merger

On May 23, 2015, TWC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Mergers (the “Charter Merger Agreement”) with Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) and certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to which the parties will engage in a series of transactions (the “Charter merger”) that will result in the Company and Charter becoming 100% owned subsidiaries of a new public parent company (“New Charter”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Charter Merger Agreement.

Upon the consummation of the Charter merger, each share of TWC common stock (other than treasury shares held by the Company and TWC stock held by the Liberty Parties (as defined below)) will be converted into the right to receive, at the option of each stockholder, either (i) $100 in cash and shares of New Charter Class A common stock equivalent to 0.5409 shares of Charter Class A common stock (“Charter common stock”) or (ii) $115 in cash and shares of New Charter Class A common stock equivalent to 0.4562 shares of Charter common stock. Upon the consummation of the Charter merger, subject to certain exceptions, each share of TWC common stock held by Liberty Broadband Corporation or Liberty Interactive Corporation (together, the “Liberty Parties”) will convert only into the right to receive shares of New Charter Class A common stock.

On September 21, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Charter Merger Agreement, and Charter’s stockholders approved, among other things, the adoption of the Charter Merger Agreement and the issuance of New Charter Class A common stock to TWC stockholders in the Charter merger. The Charter merger is subject to regulatory approvals and certain other closing conditions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

Bright House Networks Transaction

On May 23, 2015, Charter and Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“A/N”) and certain of their affiliates amended an agreement the parties had signed on March 31, 2015 (the “Bright House Networks Agreement”). Under the amended Bright House Networks Agreement, Charter will acquire Bright House Networks, LLC (“Bright House Networks”), subject to, among other conditions, the closing of the Charter merger. Bright House Networks is a 100% owned subsidiary of a partnership (“TWE-A/N”) between A/N and Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWCE”), a subsidiary of TWC. The closing of Charter’s acquisition of Bright House Networks is expected to occur concurrently with the closing of the Charter merger. However, the closing of the Charter merger is not conditioned on the closing of the Bright House Networks transaction.

In the Charter Merger Agreement, the Company and TWCE agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally waive their “right of first offer” to acquire the assets of Bright House Networks during the pendency of the Charter merger. This waiver will expire if the Charter Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, provided that the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Charter Merger Agreement) does not, within nine months following such a termination, enter into an agreement or understanding in respect of, or consummate, an alternative acquisition transaction. As discussed further in “—Financial Statement Presentation—Reportable Segments—Other Operations Segment,” TWC receives a fee from A/N for providing Bright House Networks with high-speed data services and certain management functions, which is included in Other Operations revenue.

Reportable Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations, which have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. For additional information about the components of each of the Company’s reportable segments, as well as shared functions, refer to “—Financial Statement Presentation—Reportable Segments,” below.

Residential Services Segment

TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services, as well as security and home management services, to residential customers. As of March 31, 2016, the Company served approximately 15.4 million residential services customers and, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenue from the provision of residential services increased 5.8% to approximately $4.9 billion, representing 79.7% of TWC’s total revenue.

TWC’s video service provides over 300 channels (including, on average, over 200 high-definition (“HD”) channels) and over 30,000 video-on-demand choices, an increasing subset of which consumers can watch on the device of their choosing, both inside and outside the home. TWC’s high-speed data service is available in a range of speed (from up to 2 to up to 300 megabits per second (“Mbps”) downstream), price and monthly consumption (unlimited, 30 gigabyte (“GB”) and 5 GB) levels and, for most high-speed data customers, includes access to a nationwide network of nearly 500,000 WiFi hotspots along with communications and Internet security features. TWC’s voice service provides unlimited calling throughout the U.S. and its territories and to Canada, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, India, Norway and the European Union and access to popular features in one simple package. TWC’s IntelligentHome service provides residential customers with advanced security and home management technology. The Company expects growth in Residential Services revenue in 2016 driven by an increase in customers and higher revenue per customer.

Residential Services programming costs represent a significant portion of the Company’s operating costs and expenses and are expected to continue to increase, reflecting rate increases on existing programming services. TWC expects that its programming costs as a percentage of video revenue will continue to increase, in part due to an increasingly competitive environment.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

Business Services Segment

TWC offers a wide range of business high-speed data, networking, voice, video, hosting and cloud computing services. As of March 31, 2016, TWC served 765,000 business customers, including small and medium businesses; large enterprises; government, education and non-profit institutions; and telecommunications carriers. TWC offers these services to retail and wholesale businesses using its own network infrastructure and third-party infrastructure as required to meet customer needs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenue from the provision of business services increased 13.4% to $886 million, representing 14.3% of TWC’s total revenue. The Company expects continued strong growth in Business Services revenue driven by an increase in the number of customers, higher wholesale access, growing product penetration, demand for higher-priced tiers of service and price increases.

Other Operations Segment

TWC’s Other Operations segment principally consists of (i) Time Warner Cable Media (“TWC Media”), the advertising sales arm of TWC; (ii) the Company’s regional sports networks that carry Los Angeles Lakers’ basketball games and other sports programming (Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes and, collectively, the “Lakers’ RSNs”); (iii) the Company’s local sports, news and lifestyle channels (e.g., Time Warner Cable News NY1); (iv) other operating revenue and costs, including those derived from A/N and home shopping network-related services; and (v) operating revenue and costs associated with SportsNet LA, a regional sports network carrying the Los Angeles Dodgers’ baseball games and other sports programming. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, TWC generated revenue from Other Operations of $440 million.

As discussed further below in “—Financial Statement Presentation,” TWC Media sells its video and online advertising inventory to local, regional and national advertising customers and also sells third-party advertising inventory on behalf of other video distributors, including, among others, Verizon Communications Inc.’s (“Verizon”) FiOS, AT&T Inc.’s (“AT&T”) U-verse and DIRECTV and Charter. Advertising revenue generated by TWC Media is cyclical, benefiting in years that include political elections as a result of political candidate and issue-related advertising.

Competition

The operations of each of TWC’s reportable segments face intense competition, both from existing competitors and, as a result of the rapid development of new technologies, services and products, from new entrants.

Residential Services Segment

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

Business Services Segment

TWC faces intense competition as to each of its business services offerings. Its business high-speed data, networking and voice services face competition from a variety of providers, including incumbent local telephone companies. TWC’s cell tower backhaul service also faces competition from traditional telephone companies as well as other telecommunications carriers, such as metro and regional fiber-based carriers. TWC’s business video service faces competition from direct broadcast satellite providers. TWC also competes with cloud, hosting and related service providers and application-service providers.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

Other Operations Segment

TWC faces intense competition for advertising revenue across many different platforms and from a wide range of local and national competitors. Advertising competition has increased and will likely continue to increase as new formats seek to attract the same advertisers. TWC competes for advertising revenue against, among others, local broadcast stations, national cable and broadcast networks, radio stations, print media and online advertising companies and content providers.

Financial Statement Presentation

Operating costs and expenses

Programming and content. Programming and content costs include (i) programming costs for the Residential Services and Business Services segments and (ii) content costs, which include (a) the content acquisition costs associated with the Lakers’ RSNs and SportsNet LA and (b) other content production costs for the Lakers’ RSNs, SportsNet LA and the Company’s local sports, news and lifestyle channels. Content acquisition costs for the Los Angeles Lakers’ basketball games and Los Angeles Dodgers’ baseball games are recorded as games are exhibited over the applicable season.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing costs consist of the costs incurred at the Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations segments to sell and market the Company’s services. Costs primarily include employee-related and third-party marketing costs (e.g., television, online, print and radio advertising). Employee-related costs primarily include costs associated with retail centers and activities related to direct sales, in-bound sales and retention sales.

Technical operations.

Customer care. Customer care costs consist of the costs incurred at the Residential Services and Business Services segments associated with the Company’s customer service activities. Costs primarily include employee-related costs and outsourced customer care costs.

Other operating. Other operating costs consist of all other operating costs incurred at the Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations segments that are not specifically identified above, including Residential Services and Business Services video franchise and other fees. Other operating costs also include operating costs associated with broad “corporate” functions (e.g., accounting and finance, information technology, executive management, legal and human resources). In addition, other operating costs include functions supporting more than one reportable segment that are centrally managed, including costs associated with facilities (e.g., rent, property taxes and utilities), network operations (e.g., employee costs associated with central engineering activities), vehicles and procurement.

Reportable Segments

The Company’s segment results include intercompany transactions related to programming provided to the Residential Services and Business Services segments by the Lakers’ RSNs, SportsNet LA and the Company’s local sports, news and lifestyle channels. These services are reflected as programming expense for the Residential Services and Business Services segments and as revenue for the Other Operations segment and are eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, the operating costs described above that are associated with broad “corporate” functions or functions supporting more than one reportable segment are recorded as shared functions and are not allocated to the reportable segments. As such, the reportable segment results reflect how management views such segments in assessing financial performance and allocating resources and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that each segment would have achieved had they operated as stand-alone entities during the periods presented.

Business Services Segment

Revenue. Business Services segment revenue consists of revenue from video, high-speed data, voice, wholesale transport and other services offered to business customers.

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

•

High-speed data. High-speed data revenue primarily includes subscriber fees for the Company’s high-speed data services and related installation charges.

Merger-related and restructuring costs. All merger-related and restructuring costs incurred by the Company are recorded as shared functions.

Use of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization

In discussing its segment performance, the Company may use certain measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures include Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”), which the Company defines as Operating Income before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets. For additional information regarding the use of segment OIBDA, see Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

Costs and expenses

Operating costs and expenses. The increase in operating costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to increases in programming and employee costs, partially offset by a decline in bad debt expense. The increase in employee costs reflects the Company’s continued investments in sales and marketing, technical operations and customer care initiatives, as well as a $26 million increase in employee medical costs (as a result of prior year changes in estimates of previously established employee medical accruals, partially offset by lower claims activity). Operating costs and expenses by segment are discussed in greater detail below in “Segment Results.”

Depreciation. Depreciation increased primarily due to the continued investment in customer premise equipment and scalable infrastructure.

Merger-related and restructuring costs. Merger-related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Charter merger:
Employee retention costs	$	32	$	—
Advisory and legal fees		3		—
Comcast merger:
Employee retention costs		—		14
Advisory and legal fees		—		10

Merger-related costs	$	35	$	24

The Company expects to incur additional merger-related costs in connection with the Charter merger through the closing of the merger.

The Company incurred restructuring costs of $5 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to employee terminations and other exit costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs in 2016.

Operating Income. Operating Income increased primarily due to growth in revenue, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses, depreciation and merger-related and restructuring costs, as discussed above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, increased slightly due to higher average interest rates, partially offset by lower average debt outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 2015.

Other income, net. Other income, net, detail is shown in the table below (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Other income, net	$	11	$	10

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

The major components of residential video revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		% Change
Programming tiers^(a)	$	1,581	$	1,587		(0.4%)
Premium networks		217		209		3.8%

Franchise and other fees^(b)		117		114		2.6%

Total	$	2,508	$	2,469		1.6%

^(a)	Programming tier revenue includes subscriber fees for the Company’s various tiers or packages of video programming services generally distinguished from one another by the number and type of programming networks they include.

^(b)	Franchise and other fees include fees collected on behalf of franchising authorities and the FCC.

The increase in residential video revenue was due to an increase in average revenue per subscriber and growth in video subscribers. The increase in average revenue per subscriber was primarily the result of growth in video equipment rental and premium network revenue, partially offset by lower transactional video-on-demand, programming tier and DVR service revenue.

Residential high-speed data revenue increased due to growth in high-speed data subscribers and an increase in average revenue per subscriber. The increase in average revenue per subscriber was primarily due to increases in prices and equipment rental charges.

The increase in residential voice revenue was due to growth in voice subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per subscriber.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased primarily due to higher programming, sales and marketing and technical operations costs, partially offset by a decrease in other operating costs.

Selected Residential Services average monthly costs per subscriber for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		% Change
Programming costs per video subscriber	$	46.00	$	42.28		8.8%

Voice costs per voice subscriber	$	3.30	$	3.68		(10.3%)

The increase in programming costs (which include intercompany expense from the Other Operations segment for programming costs associated with the Lakers’ RSNs, SportsNet LA and the Company’s local sports, news and lifestyle channels) was primarily due to contractual rate increases.

Sales and marketing costs increased primarily due to increased sales-related headcount and higher compensation costs per employee related to the Company’s subscriber growth initiatives, as well as higher marketing costs.

Technical operations costs increased primarily due to increased headcount, higher compensation costs per employee and increased installation-related activities (reflecting subscriber growth and the Company’s continued investments to improve the customer experience).

Customer care costs increased primarily due to increased headcount and higher compensation costs per employee (reflecting subscriber growth and the Company’s continued investments to improve the customer experience).

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. Customers who purchase wholesale transport or cloud services but do not purchase one of the Company’s video, high-speed data or voice services are not included in the Company’s subscriber results.

Revenue. Business services revenue increased primarily due to growth in high-speed data and voice subscribers and higher wholesale transport revenue.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased primarily as a result of increased headcount and higher compensation costs per employee, as well as growth in programming, voice and marketing costs.

OIBDA. OIBDA increased due to the increase in revenue, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses, as discussed above.

The Company expects advertising revenue in 2016 to increase compared to 2015 due primarily to a cyclical increase in political advertising revenue.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

Other revenue increased primarily due to the recognition of approximately $20 million of revenue associated with the settlement of a contractual dispute, as well as an increase in affiliate fees from the Residential Services segment and other distributors of the Lakers’ RSNs and SportsNet LA. The Company continues to seek additional distribution agreements for the carriage of SportsNet LA by major distributors.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased primarily as a result of higher costs associated with advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors and an increase in content costs associated with the Lakers’ RSNs.

OIBDA. OIBDA increased due to an increase in revenue, partially offset by an increase in operating costs and expenses, as discussed above.

Shared Functions. Costs and expenses associated with the Company’s shared functions, which consist of operating costs associated with broad “corporate” functions (e.g., accounting and finance, information technology, executive management, legal and human resources) or functions supporting more than one reportable segment that are centrally managed (e.g., facilities, network operations, vehicles and procurement) as well as other activities not directly attributable to a reportable segment, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in millions):

Merger-related and restructuring costs. Refer to “Consolidated Results—Costs and expenses—Merger-related and restructuring costs” for detail of merger-related and restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company expects to incur additional merger-related costs in connection with the Charter merger through the closing of the merger, as well as additional restructuring costs in 2016.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter, including quarterly dividend payments and maturities of long-term debt. TWC’s sources of cash include cash and equivalents on hand, cash provided by operating activities and borrowing capacity under the Company’s $3.5 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and the Company’s $2.5 billion unsecured commercial paper program (which is supported by unused committed capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility), as well as access to capital markets.

In accordance with the Company’s investment policy of diversifying its investments and limiting the amount of its investments in a single entity or fund, the Company may invest its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market and government funds and U.S. Treasury securities, as well as other similar instruments.

TWC’s unused committed financial capacity was $4.734 billion as of March 31, 2016, reflecting $1.297 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.437 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Current Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $22.492 billion of debt, $1.297 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $21.195 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents) and $9.357 billion of total TWC shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $22.502 billion of debt, $1.170 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $21.332 billion) and $8.995 billion of total TWC shareholders’ equity.

The following table shows the significant items contributing to the change in net debt from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 (in millions):


Balance as of December 31, 2015	$	21,332
Cash provided by operating activities		(1,608)
Capital expenditures		1,318
Dividend paid		217
All other, net		(64)

Balance as of March 31, 2016	$	21,195

On March 16, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.75 per share of TWC common stock, payable in cash on April 22, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2016.

Cash Flows

Cash and equivalents increased $127 million and decreased $160 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Components of these changes are discussed below in more detail.

Operating Activities

Details of cash provided by operating activities are as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

All other, net, including working capital changes		(150)		(109)

Cash provided by operating activities	$	1,608	$	1,508

^(a)	Amounts include interest income received (primarily cash received under interest rate swap contracts) of $10 million and $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

^(b)	Amounts include cash refunds of income taxes of $3 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $1.508 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $1.608 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase was primarily related to an increase in Operating Income (excluding depreciation and amortization), partially offset by an increase in working capital requirements.

On December 18, 2015, the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 was enacted, extending bonus depreciation deductions on the cost of the Company’s qualified capital expenditures from 2015 through 2019. Due to the late enactment of this Act, the Company made all 2015 income tax payments as if bonus depreciation were not going to be extended. This resulted in a 2015 overpayment of approximately $120 million, the application of which is expected to reduce the Company’s cash paid for income taxes, net, in the second quarter of 2016.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)

The Company made no cash contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans (the “qualified pension plans”) during the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the qualified pension plans and the nonqualified defined benefit pension plan (the “nonqualified pension plan”) were estimated to be underfunded by $635 million. The Company may make discretionary cash contributions to the qualified pension plans in 2016. Such contributions will be dependent on a variety of factors, including current and expected interest rates, asset performance, the funded status of the qualified pension plans and management’s judgment. For the nonqualified pension plan, the Company will continue to make contributions during the remainder of 2016 to the extent benefits are paid.

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

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

Charter Merger

Bright House Networks Transaction

In the Charter Merger Agreement, the Company and TWCE agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally waive their “right of first offer” to acquire the assets of Bright House Networks during the pendency of the Charter merger. This waiver will expire if the Charter Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, provided that the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Charter Merger Agreement) does not, within nine months following such a termination, enter into an agreement or understanding in respect of, or consummate, an alternative acquisition transaction. TWC receives a fee from A/N for providing Bright House Networks with high-speed data services and certain management functions, which is included in Other Operations revenue.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassifications

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

Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of TWC included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2016

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued authoritative guidance for the purpose of clarifying the accounting for cloud computing arrangements by providing criteria for determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. Under this guidance, if it is determined that a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses; however, if it is determined that a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance became effective for TWC on January 1, 2016, is being applied prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2016 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Equity-based Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the purpose of simplifying the accounting for employee share-based payments. The amendments in this updated guidance include changes to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of such share-based awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance will be effective for TWC on January 1, 2017 and the Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

Leasing Arrangements

In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the purpose of increasing transparency and comparability among organizations of accounting for leasing arrangements. This guidance establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Entities will be required to recognize and measure leases as of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This guidance will be effective for TWC on January 1, 2019 and the Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the purpose of improving certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this guidance requires public entities to measure equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and to perform a qualitative assessment to identify impairment for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. Entities will be required to apply this guidance by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and, for the guidance related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values, entities are required to apply a prospective approach to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. This guidance will be effective for TWC on January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the recent current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract with a customer. In March 2016, the FASB amended this guidance to clarify the implementation guidance regarding principal versus agent considerations. Entities will have the option of applying either a full retrospective approach to all periods presented or a modified approach that reflects differences prior to the date of adoption as an adjustment to equity. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this guidance by one year. As such, this guidance will be effective for TWC on January 1, 2018 and the Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

4.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair values of assets and liabilities associated with derivative financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following (in millions):


	Assets				Liabilities
	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Interest rate swaps^(a)(b)	$	98	$	69	$	—	$	7
Cross-currency swaps^(a)(c)		50		90		129		80

Total	$	148	$	159	$	129	$	87

^(a)

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

^(b)	The fair values of assets and liabilities associated with interest rate swaps are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

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

Fair Value Hedges

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by effectively converting fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. Under such contracts, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at fixed rates and is required to make semi-annual interest payments at variable rates, without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Such contracts are designated as fair value hedges. The Company recognized no gain or loss related to its interest rate swaps because the changes in the fair values of such instruments were completely offset by the changes in the fair values of the hedged fixed-rate debt. The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis based on the terms of the contract and expected forward interest rates, and incorporates the credit risk of the Company and each counterparty (a Level 2 fair value measurement). The following table summarizes the terms of existing fixed to variable interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:


	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Maturities		2017-2019		2017-2019
Notional amount (in millions)	$	5,600	$	5,600
Weighted-average pay rate (variable based on LIBOR plus variable margins)		5.42%		5.41%
Weighted-average receive rate (fixed)		6.86%		6.86%

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

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses cross-currency swaps to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign currency denominated debt by effectively converting foreign currency denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to U.S. dollar denominated debt. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company has entered into cross-currency swaps to effectively convert its £1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate British pound sterling denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. The cross-currency swaps have maturities of June 2031 and July 2042. The fair value of cross-currency swaps was determined using a DCF analysis based on expected forward interest and exchange rates, and incorporates the credit risk of the Company and each counterparty (a Level 2 fair value measurement). The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedges on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Deferred losses recognized in other comprehensive loss (effective portion)	$	(89)	$	(126)
Deferred losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, into other income, net (effective portion)^(a)		(48)		(97)

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

Any ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges has been and is expected to be insignificant.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

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

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The Company’s other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include (a) cash and equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and borrowings under the Company’s commercial paper program, which are reflected at cost in the consolidated balance sheet, and (b) TWC senior notes and debentures and TWCE senior debentures (collectively, the “senior notes and debentures”) not subject to fair value hedge accounting, which are reflected at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheet. With the exception of the senior notes and debentures, cost approximates fair value for these instruments due to their short-term nature. The carrying value and related estimated fair value of the senior notes and debentures was $22.417 billion and $24.882 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2016 and $22.426 billion and $23.637 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. Estimated fair values for the senior notes and debentures are determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (a Level 1 fair value measurement).

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2016, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $402 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.42 years, without taking into account acceleration of vesting.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Charter Merger Agreement, the Company advanced into 2015 its annual grants of equity awards that would otherwise have been made in 2017. As a result, eligible employees were granted RSUs having a value equal to (and with vesting terms consistent with) those that these employees otherwise would have received in 2017 (the “2015 retention grant”), but without performance-based vesting conditions. Specifically, the 2015 retention grant will vest 50% in February of 2020 and 50% in February of 2021, subject to continued employment. If the grantee’s employment is terminated prior to the date on which the 2015 retention grant would have normally been made (i.e., February 2017), such retention grant would be forfeited, absent a change in control of the Company prior to such termination of employment.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the February 12, 2014 Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Comcast Merger Agreement”) with Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”), which was subsequently terminated on April 24, 2015, the Company advanced into 2014 its annual grant of equity awards that would otherwise have been made in 2015 and 2016. As a result, eligible employees were granted RSUs having a value equal to (and with vesting terms consistent with) those that these employees otherwise would have received in each of 2015 and 2016 (the “2014 retention grants” and, together with the 2015 retention grant, the “retention grants”), but without performance-based vesting conditions. Specifically, the retention grant corresponding to the 2015 annual grant will vest 50% in February of 2018 and 50% in February of 2019 and the retention grant corresponding to the 2016 annual grant will vest 50% in February of 2019 and 50% in February of 2020, in each case, subject to continued employment. If the grantee’s employment had been terminated prior to the date on which either retention grant would have normally been made (i.e., February 2015 or 2016, as appropriate), such retention grant would have been forfeited, absent a change in control of the Company prior to such termination of employment.

Employees who received the retention grants will generally not be eligible for additional annual equity awards with respect to 2015, 2016 or 2017 absent a change of responsibilities or other circumstances. Consequently, whether or not the Charter merger is consummated, both the employee and the Company would generally be in the same position they would have been in had the RSUs been granted in accordance with the anticipated schedule.

With the exception of the retention grants discussed above, RSUs generally vest 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. RSUs generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the termination of the grantee’s employment after reaching a specified age and years of service or upon an involuntary termination of the grantee’s employment within 24 months following a change in control of the Company. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will generally be issued in connection with a director’s termination of service as a director. Pursuant to the directors’ compensation program, certain directors with more than three years of service on the Board of Directors have elected an in-service vesting period for their RSU awards. Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents or retained distributions related to regular cash dividends or other distributions, respectively, paid by TWC. Retained distributions are subject to the vesting requirements of the underlying RSUs. Upon the vesting of a RSU, shares of TWC common stock may be issued from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury stock, if any.

Stock Options

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, TWC granted no stock options. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2016, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $5 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 0.95 years, without taking into account acceleration of vesting.

Stock options have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of TWC common stock at the date of grant. Generally, stock options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to continued employment. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon the termination of the grantee’s employment

after reaching a specified age and years of service or upon an involuntary termination of the grantee’s employment within 24 months following a change in control of the Company. Upon the exercise of a stock option, shares of TWC common stock may be issued from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury stock, if any.

7.	PENSION COSTS

TWC sponsors the Time Warner Cable Pension Plan (the “TWC Pension Plan”) and the Time Warner Cable Union Pension Plan (the “Union Pension Plan” and, together with the TWC Pension Plan, the “qualified pension plans”), both qualified defined benefit pension plans, that together provide pension benefits to a majority of the Company’s employees. TWC also provides a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan for certain employees (the “nonqualified pension plan” and, together with the qualified pension plans, the “pension plans”). Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees’ years of service and compensation during their employment period. TWC uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension plans. The components of net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Service cost	$	55	$	57
Interest cost		40		36
Expected return on plan assets		(52)		(57)
Amounts amortized		11		10

Net periodic benefit costs	$	54	$	46

The Company made no cash contributions to the qualified pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2016; however, the Company may make discretionary cash contributions to the qualified pension plans in 2016. Such contributions will be dependent on a variety of factors, including current and expected interest rates, asset performance, the funded status of the qualified pension plans and management’s judgment. For the nonqualified pension plan, the Company will continue to make contributions during the remainder of 2016 to the extent benefits are paid.

8.	MERGER-RELATED AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Merger-related and restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following (in millions):

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred Comcast merger-related costs of $24 million, including employee retention costs of $14 million and advisory and legal fees of $10 million. The Company expects to incur additional merger-related costs in connection with the Charter merger through the closing of the merger. Changes in accruals for merger-related costs are presented below (in millions):

^(b)	The remaining $70 million liability as of March 31, 2016 is classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

In addition to the cash settled liabilities shown in the table above, the Company also issued retention RSUs, as discussed in Note 6, which resulted in additional merger-related costs of $47 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 ($11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015) and $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Restructuring Costs

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $5 million and $2 million, respectively, primarily related to employee terminations and other exit costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs in 2016. Changes in restructuring reserves are presented below (in millions):

9.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company classifies its operations into the following three reportable segments, which have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business:

•

Residential Services, which principally consists of video, high-speed data and voice services provided to residential customers as well as other residential services, including security and home management services.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

•

Business Services, which principally consists of data, video and voice services provided to business customers as well as other business services, including enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services.

•

Other Operations, which principally consists of (i) Time Warner Cable Media (“TWC Media”), the advertising sales arm of TWC, (ii) TWC-owned and/or operated regional sports networks (“RSNs”) and local sports, news and lifestyle channels (e.g., Time Warner Cable News NY1) and (iii) other operating revenue and costs, including those derived from A/N and home shopping network-related services. The business units reflected in the Other Operations segment individually do not meet the thresholds to be reported as separate reportable segments.

In addition to the above reportable segments, the Company has shared functions (referred to as “Shared Functions”) that include activities not attributable to a specific reportable segment. Shared Functions consists of operating costs and expenses associated with broad “corporate” functions (e.g., accounting and finance, information technology, executive management, legal and human resources) or functions supporting more than one reportable segment that are centrally managed (e.g., facilities, network operations, vehicles and procurement) as well as other activities not attributable to a reportable segment. As such, the reportable segment results reflect how management views such segments in assessing financial performance and allocating resources and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that each segment would have achieved had they operated as stand-alone entities during the periods presented.

In evaluating the profitability of the Company’s segments, the components of net income (loss) below OIBDA, as defined below, are not separately evaluated by management at the segment level. Due to the nature of the Company’s operations, a majority of its assets, including its distribution systems, are utilized across the Company’s operations and are not segregated by segment. In addition, segment assets are not reported to, or used by, management to allocate resources or assess the performance of the Company’s segments. Accordingly, the Company has not disclosed asset information by segment.

Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in millions):

Use of OIBDA

Management uses Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”), among other measures, in evaluating the segment’s performance because it eliminates the effects of (i) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and amortization and (ii) items not within the control of the Company’s operations managers (such as income tax provision, other income (expense), net, and interest expense, net). Management also uses this measure to evaluate the Company’s consolidated operating performance and to allocate resources and capital to the segments. Performance measures derived from OIBDA are also used in the Company’s annual incentive compensation programs. In addition, this measure is commonly used by analysts, investors and others in evaluating the Company’s performance.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

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

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

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

In connection with the formerly proposed Comcast merger, eight putative class action complaints were filed on behalf of purported TWC stockholders in the New York Supreme Court (the “NY Actions”) and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. These complaints named as defendants TWC, the members of the TWC board of directors, Comcast and Comcast’s merger subsidiary. The complaints generally alleged, among other things, that the members of the TWC board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to TWC stockholders during merger negotiations and by entering into the Comcast Merger Agreement and approving the Comcast merger, and that Comcast aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaints further alleged that the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by Comcast with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 20, 2014 was misleading or omitted certain material information. The complaints sought, among other relief, compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, injunctive relief and costs and fees. The parties entered into a settlement agreement, conditioned inter alia on the consummation of the Comcast merger, which upon termination of that merger became inoperative. On October 23, 2015, the plaintiffs’ counsel in one of the three matters pending in state court in Delaware petitioned the court for an award of attorneys’ fees. On February 19, 2016, the court awarded some but not all of the fees sought in that case, and the case was dismissed on February 25, 2016. On April 20, 2016, the other two cases pending in state court in Delaware were voluntarily discontinued.

Following the announcement of the Charter merger on May 26, 2015, on June 29, 2015, the parties in the NY Actions filed a stipulation agreeing that plaintiffs could file a Second Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), and dismissing with prejudice Comcast and Comcast’s merger subsidiary. After the court so ordered the stipulation, the plaintiffs in the NY Actions filed the Second Amended Complaint on July 1, 2015. The Second Amended Complaint names as defendants TWC, the members of the TWC board of directors, Charter and the merger subsidiaries. The Second Amended Complaint generally alleges, among other things, that the members of the TWC board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to TWC stockholders during the Charter merger negotiations and by entering into the Charter Merger Agreement and approving the Charter merger, and that Charter and its subsidiaries aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other relief, injunctive relief enjoining the shareholder vote on the Charter merger, unspecified declaratory and equitable relief, compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, and costs and fees. On September 9, 2015, the parties in the NY Actions entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), which reflects an agreement in principle to settle the case. Pursuant to the MOU, TWC and Charter made certain supplemental disclosures in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 9, 2015, and the plaintiffs agreed to stay the proceedings in the NY Actions pending final approval of the definitive settlement agreement contemplated in the MOU. On March 7, 2016, the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement, subject to the consummation of the Charter merger and the court’s approval. The Company believes that the claims asserted against it are without merit and, if the settlement does not receive final approval by the New York Supreme Court or otherwise is not consummated, intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On December 19, 2011, Sprint Communications Company L.P. (“Sprint”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas alleging that the Company infringes 12 patents purportedly relating to Voice over Internet Protocol

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(“VoIP”) services. The plaintiff is seeking monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On October 8, 2015, the court stayed this litigation based on a judgment in a parallel case against Cox Communications, Inc. (“Cox Communications”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware invalidating six of the 12 patents at issue in that litigation. The stay applies to all 12 patents at issue in Sprint’s complaint against the Company, and the Company expects the stay to remain in effect during the pendency of Sprint’s appeal against Cox Communications. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On December 5, 2014, Broadband iTV, Inc. filed an amended complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii alleging that the Company infringes a patent purportedly relating to the Company’s delivery of digital video on demand services and seeking monetary and injunctive relief. The complaint also names Hawaiian Telecom, Inc. (“Hawaiian Telecom”) as a defendant. On January 9, 2015, the Company answered the amended complaint and moved to sever the allegations against the Company from those against Hawaiian Telecom. On April 16, 2015, the court severed the allegations against the Company from those against Hawaiian Telecom, but consolidated the cases for pre-trial purposes. The court issued a claim construction order on June 24, 2015 and the parties have exchanged expert reports on the issues of infringement, validity and damages. On September 29, 2015, the court granted the Company’s summary judgment motion invalidating the patent and dismissing the litigation with prejudice. On October 9, 2015, the plaintiff appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

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

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

Other Matters

The California Attorney General and the Alameda County, California District Attorney are investigating whether certain of the Company’s waste disposal policies, procedures and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. These entities are seeking injunctive relief, unspecified civil penalties and attorneys’ fees. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this investigation, it does not believe that the outcome will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In March 2003, the interests in cable networks and filmed entertainment held by Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”) were transferred to Time Warner and all of Time Warner’s interests in cable systems were transferred to the Company (the “TWE Restructuring”). As part of the TWE Restructuring, Time Warner agreed to indemnify the Company from and against any and all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from specified litigation matters brought against the TWE non-cable businesses (and assumed by TWCE in connection with various internal reorganizations). Although Time Warner has agreed to indemnify the Company against such liabilities, TWE (as assumed by TWCE) remains a named party in certain litigation matters.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations (including comprehensive income) and cash flows of (i) Time Warner Cable Inc. (the “Parent Company”), (ii) Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWCE” or the “Guarantor Subsidiary”), a direct 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, (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. The Guarantor Subsidiary has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the debt securities issued by the Parent Company in its 2007 registered exchange offer and subsequent public offerings. The Parent Company directly owns all of the voting and economic interests of the Guarantor Subsidiary.

There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company’s ability to obtain funds from any of its 100% owned 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 Company’s interests in the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary’s interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the
