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. TWCs mission is to connect its customers to the worldsimply, reliably and with superior service. As of March 31, 2014, TWC served approximately 15.2 million customers who subscribed to one or more of its video, high-speed data and voice services. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, TWCs revenue increased 2.0% to approximately $5.6 billion.
Comcast Merger
On February 12, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Comcast Corporation (Comcast) whereby the Company agreed to merge with and into a 100% owned subsidiary of Comcast (the Comcast merger). Upon completion of the Comcast merger, all of the outstanding shares of the Company will be cancelled and each issued and outstanding share will be converted into the right to receive 2.875 shares of Class A common stock of Comcast. The Comcast merger, which is expected to close by the end of 2014, is subject to the approval of the Companys and Comcasts stockholders, regulatory approvals and certain other closing conditions. Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter), which in January 2014 disclosed an unsolicited bid to acquire the Company, has indicated that it intends to solicit proxies from the Companys stockholders in opposition to the Comcast merger.
Reportable Segments
Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments: Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations. The Companys reportable segments have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for the prior period to reflect the segment disclosures as if the current presentation had been in effect throughout all periods presented. For additional information about the components of each of the Companys reportable segments, as well as shared functions, refer to Financial Statement PresentationReportable Segments, below.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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, 2014, the Company served 14.5 million residential services customers and, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, TWC generated approximately $4.6 billion of revenue from the provision of residential services, which represented 81.8% of TWCs total revenue.
TWCs video service provides over 300 channels (including, on average, over 180 high-definition (HD) channels) and 19,000 hours of video-on-demand programming, which, increasingly, consumers can watch on the device of their choosing, both inside and outside the home. TWCs high-speed data service is available in a range of speed (from up to 2 to 300 megabits per second (Mbps) downstream), price and consumption (unlimited, 30 gigabyte (GB) and 5 GB) levels and, for most high-speed data customers, includes access to a nationwide network of more than 200,000 Cable WiFi hotspots along with communications and Internet security features. TWCs voice service provides unlimited calling and access to popular features in one simple package. TWCs IntelligentHome service provides state-of-the-art security and home management technology, taking advantage of TWCs always-on broadband network and around-the-clock security monitoring centers.
Residential Services revenue has benefited from increases in the number of high-speed data subscribers and growth in revenue per subscriber (the latter due to an increasing percentage of subscribers purchasing faster, higher-priced tiers of service and increases in prices and equipment rental charges), offset by losses in residential video and, to a lesser extent, voice subscribers.
Residential video programming costs represent a significant portion of the Companys operating costs and expenses and are expected to continue to increase, reflecting rate increases on existing programming services and the carriage of new networks, partially offset by a decline in total video subscribers. TWC expects that its video programming costs as a percentage of video revenue will continue to increase, in part due to an increasingly competitive environment.
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, 2014, TWC served 637,000 business customers, including small and medium businesses; large enterprises; government, education and non-profit institutions; and telecommunications carriers. TWC offers business services at retail and wholesale using its own network infrastructure and third-party infrastructure as required to meet customer needs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, revenue from the provision of business services increased 24.4% to $668 million, which represented 12.0% of TWCs total revenue. The Company expects continued strong growth in Business Services revenue driven by an increase in the number of customers (the result of continued penetration of buildings currently on its network and investment to connect new buildings to its network) and revenue per customer (due to growing product penetration, demand for higher-priced tiers of service and price increases). Given the large opportunity and TWCs still modest share in business services, the Company has established a target of growing Business Services to exceed $5 billion in annual revenue by 2018.
On December 31, 2013, TWC completed its acquisition of DukeNet Communications, LLC (DukeNet), a regional fiber optic network company that provides data and high-capacity bandwidth services to wireless carrier, data center, government and enterprise customers in North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as five other states in the Southeast. Beginning in 2014, the results of DukeNet, which generated revenue of $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, are included in the Business Services segment.
Other Operations Segment
TWCs Other Operations segment principally consists of (i) Time Warner Cable Media (TWC Media), the advertising arm of TWC; (ii) the Companys 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 Companys local sports, news and lifestyle channels (e.g., Time Warner Cable News NY1); (iv) other operating revenue and costs, including those derived from the Advance/Newhouse Partnership and home shopping network-related services;

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
and (v) beginning in 2014, operating revenue and costs associated with SportsNet LA, discussed below. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, TWC generated revenue from Other Operations of $400 million.
As discussed further below in Financial Statement Presentation, TWC Media sells video and online advertising inventory to local, regional and national advertising customers and also sells 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 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.
On February 25, 2014, American Media Productions, LLC (American Media Productions), an unaffiliated third party, launched SportsNet LA, a regional sports network carrying the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games and other sports programming. In accordance with long-term agreements with American Media Productions, TWC acts as the networks exclusive advertising and affiliate sales agent and has certain branding and programming rights with respect to the network. In addition, TWC provides certain production and technical services to American Media Productions. As a result of the launch of SportsNet LA, related revenue, including intersegment revenue, and expenses are included in the Companys Other Operations segment.
Competition
The operations of each of TWCs 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. TWC competes with incumbent local telephone companies and overbuilders 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 TWCs residential services also faces competition from other companies that provide services on a stand-alone basis. TWCs residential video service faces competition from direct broadcast satellite services, and increasingly from companies that deliver content to consumers over the Internet. TWCs residential high-speed data and voice services face competition from wireless Internet and voice providers. TWCs residential voice service also faces competition from over-the-top phone services and other alternatives.
Business Services Segment
TWC faces significant competition as to each of its business services offerings. Its business high-speed data, networking and voice services face competition from a variety of telecommunication carriers, including incumbent local telephone companies. TWCs 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. TWCs business video service faces competition from direct broadcast satellite providers. TWC also competes with cloud, hosting and related service providers and application-service providers.
Other Operations Segment
TWC faces intense competition in its advertising business across many different platforms and from a wide range of local and national competitors. Competition has increased and will likely continue to increase as new formats for advertising seek to attract the same advertisers. TWC competes for advertising revenue against, among others, local broadcast stations, national cable and broadcast networks, radio, newspapers, magazines and outdoor advertisers, as well as online advertising companies.

Basis of Presentation
Changes in Basis of Presentation
Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for the prior period to reflect the segment disclosures as if the current presentation had been in effect throughout all periods presented. Refer to Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Companys segment information.
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company revised its categorization of operating costs and expenses to be consistent with how such costs and expenses are presented to management and to provide a more meaningful presentation.

The Companys consolidated operating costs and expenses are presented in the following categories: (i) programming and content, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) technical operations, (iv) customer care and (v) other operating costs.
Reclassifications
As discussed above, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information presented herein to conform to the current year presentation.
Consolidated
Revenue. The Company generates revenue from each of its reportable segments: Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations, which includes revenue generated by TWC Media, the Lakers RSNs, SportsNet LA and other operating revenue, including amounts derived from the Advance/Newhouse Partnership and home shopping network-related services. Each of the reportable segments is discussed below under Reportable Segments.
Operating costs and expenses
Programming and content. Programming and content costs include (i) video 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 (b) other content production costs for the Lakers RSNs and the Companys local sports, news and lifestyle channels.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Technical operations. Technical operations costs consist of the costs incurred at the Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations segments associated with the installation, repair and maintenance of the Companys distribution plant. Costs primarily include employee-related costs and materials costs associated with non-capitalizable activities.
Customer care. Customer care costs consist of the costs incurred at the Residential Services and Business Services segments associated with the Companys 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.

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 Companys segment results include intercompany transactions related to programming provided to the Residential Services and Business Services segments by the Lakers RSNs, the Companys local sports, news and lifestyle channels and, beginning in 2014, SportsNet LA. 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.
Residential Services Segment
Revenue. Residential Services segment revenue consists of revenue from video, high-speed data, voice and other services offered to residential subscribers. The Company sells video, high-speed data and voice services to residential subscribers separately and in bundled packages at rates lower than if the subscriber purchases each product on an individual basis. Revenue received from subscribers to bundled packages is allocated to each product in a pro-rata manner based on the standalone selling price of each of the respective services.
| Video. Video revenue includes subscriber fees for the Companys various tiers or packages of video programming services generally distinguished from one another by the number and type of programming networks they include. Video revenue also includes related equipment rental charges, installation charges and fees collected on behalf of local franchising authorities and the Federal Communications Commission (the FCC). Additionally, video revenue includes revenue from the sale of premium networks, transactional video-on-demand (e.g., events and movies) and digital video recorder (DVR) service. |
| High-speed data. High-speed data revenue primarily includes subscriber fees for the Companys high-speed data services and related equipment rental and installation charges. The Company offers multiple tiers of high-speed data services providing various service speeds, data usage levels and other attributes to meet the different needs of its subscribers.

| Voice. Voice revenue includes subscriber fees for the Companys voice services, along with related installation charges, as well as fees collected on behalf of governmental authorities. |
| Other. Other revenue includes revenue from security and home management services and other residential subscriber-related fees. |

Operating costs and expenses. Business Services segment operating costs and expenses include the operating costs and expenses that management believes are necessary to assess the performance of and allocate resources to the Business Services segment. Such costs are consistent with the operating costs and expense categories described above under Residential Services operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses exclude costs and expenses related to corporate functions and functions supporting more than one reportable segment that are centrally managed (e.g., facilities, network operations, vehicles and procurement) and are not within the control of segment management.
Other Operations Segment
Revenue
| Advertising. Advertising revenue is generated through TWC Medias sale of video and online advertising inventory to local, regional and national advertising customers.

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).

Revenue. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to increases in revenue at the Business Services and Other Operations segments, partially offset by a decrease in revenue at the Residential Services segment.
Revenue by segment is discussed in greater detail below in Segment Results.
Costs and expenses
Operating costs and expenses. The increase in operating costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to increases in the following, which are discussed further in Segment Results: programming costs at the Residential Services segment; sales and marketing costs at the Residential Services and Business Services segments; and costs associated with advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors (ad rep agreements) at the Other Operations segment; partially offset by decreases in voice costs at the Residential Services and Business Services segments and costs associated with the Companys shared functions. The growth in operating costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 also benefited from a $34 million decrease in pension expense.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Average monthly programming costs per video subscriber grew 10.1% to $36.51 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $33.16 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Depreciation. Depreciation decreased as certain Insight Communications Company, Inc. (Insight) assets (acquired on February 29, 2012) were fully depreciated as of August 2013. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation of certain DukeNet assets (acquired on December 31, 2013).
Merger-related and restructuring costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred merger-related costs of $63 million. These costs included Comcast merger-related costs, which consisted of employee retention costs of $29 million and advisory and legal fees of $33 million, as well as $1 million incurred in connection with the DukeNet acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred merger-related costs of $2 million in connection with the Insight acquisition. The Company expects to incur additional merger-related costs during 2014 in connection with the Comcast merger.
The Company incurred restructuring costs of $17 million and $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily related to employee terminations and other exit costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs during 2014 primarily related to employee terminations in connection with initiatives intended to improve operating efficiency.
Operating Income. Operating Income increased primarily due to growth in revenue and a decrease in depreciation expense, partially offset by higher operating cost and expenses, as well as merger-related and restructuring costs, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, decreased primarily due to lower average debt outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013.

Income tax provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $264 million and $260 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 35.5% and 39.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The income tax provision and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include a benefit of $24 million as a result of the passage of the New York State budget during the first quarter of 2014 that, in part, lowers the New York State business tax rate beginning in 2016. Absent the impact of this item, the effective tax rates would have been 38.8% and 39.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(b) | Franchise and other fees include fees collected on behalf of franchising authorities and the FCC. |
The decrease in residential video revenue was primarily due to a decline in video subscribers.
Residential high-speed data revenue increased due to growth in average revenue per subscriber and an increase in high-speed data subscribers. The increase in average revenue per subscriber was primarily due to increases in prices and equipment rental charges and a greater percentage of subscribers purchasing higher-priced tiers of service.
The decrease in residential voice revenue was due to a decrease in average revenue per subscriber and fewer voice subscribers.
Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses decreased slightly primarily due to a decline in other operating costs, partially offset by increases in sales and marketing costs and programming costs.
The increase in programming costs (which include intercompany expense from the Other Operations segment for programming costs associated with the Lakers RSNs, the Companys local sports, news and lifestyle channels and, beginning in 2014, SportsNet LA) was primarily due to contractual rate increases, partially offset by a decline in video subscribers. Average monthly Residential Services programming costs per video subscriber grew 10.2% to $37.69 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $34.19 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company expects the rate of growth in average monthly Residential Services programming costs per video subscriber in 2014 to increase compared to that in 2013.
Sales and marketing costs increased primarily due to increased marketing activities as well as headcount growth and higher compensation costs per employee, particularly in customer retention.
Other operating costs decreased due to declines in voice costs and bad debt expense. Voice costs decreased $61 million primarily due to a decrease in delivery costs per subscriber and a decline in voice subscribers. Average monthly Residential Services voice costs per voice subscriber declined 43.9% to $4.97 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $8.86 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of the ongoing replacement of Sprint Corporation as the provider of voice transport, switching and interconnection services, which was completed during the first quarter of 2014. As a result, the Company expects average monthly Residential Services voice costs per voice subscriber to decrease in 2014 compared to 2013.
OIBDA. OIBDA decreased primarily due to a decrease in revenue, partially offset by a slight decrease in operating costs and expenses, as discussed above.

Revenue. Business services revenue increased primarily due to growth in high-speed data and voice subscribers, an organic increase in cell tower backhaul revenue of $11 million and $29 million of DukeNet revenue (nearly all wholesale transport).
Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in sales and marketing costs, primarily due to increased headcount and higher compensation costs per employee, including increased commissions. This increase was partially offset by lower voice costs due to the in-sourcing of voice transport, switching and interconnection services.
OIBDA. OIBDA increased primarily due to the increase in revenue, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses, as discussed above.

Revenue. Advertising revenue increased primarily due to growth in political advertising revenue as well as non-political revenue from ad rep agreements. The Company expects advertising revenue in 2014 to increase compared to 2013 due to an increase in political advertising revenue.
Other revenue increased primarily due to affiliate fees from the Residential Services segment as well as other distributors of the Lakers RSNs.
Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased primarily related to growth in costs associated with ad rep agreements.

Operating costs and expenses. The decrease in operating costs and expenses was driven by operating efficiencies, including decreased headcount, particularly in information technology.
Merger-related and restructuring costs. Merger-related costs of $63 million were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These costs included Comcast merger-related costs, which consisted of employee retention costs of $29 million and advisory and legal fees of $33 million, as well as $1 million incurred in connection with the DukeNet acquisition. Merger-related costs of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were incurred in connection with the Insight acquisition. The Company expects to incur additional merger-related costs during 2014 in connection with the Comcast merger.
Restructuring costs were $17 million and $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily related to employee terminations and other exit costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs during 2014 primarily related to employee terminations in connection with initiatives intended to improve operating efficiency.
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. TWCs sources of cash include cash and equivalents on hand, cash provided by operating activities and borrowing capacity under the Companys $3.5 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) and the Companys $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 Companys investment policy of diversifying its investments and limiting the amount of its investments in a single entity or fund, the Company may invest its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market and government funds and U.S. Treasury securities, as well as other similar instruments. As of March 31, 2014, the majority of the Companys cash and equivalents was invested in money market funds and income earning bank deposits, including certificates of deposit.
TWCs unused committed financial capacity was $3.452 billion as of March 31, 2014, reflecting $1.557 billion of cash and equivalents and $1.895 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Current Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $25.854 billion of debt, $1.557 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $24.297 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents) and $7.094 billion of total TWC shareholders equity. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $25.052 billion of debt, $525 million of cash and equivalents, (net debt of $24.527 billion) and $6.943 billion of total TWC shareholders equity.

(b) | Amounts include income tax refunds received of $3 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
Cash provided by operating activities increased slightly from $1.394 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $1.397 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily related to an increase in Operating Income (excluding depreciation and amortization) and a decrease in net interest payments, partially offset by an increase in working capital requirements.
Net interest payments for 2014 decreased primarily as a result of the maturity of TWCs 6.200% senior notes due July 2013 ($1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount).
16
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
The Company expects net income tax payments to decrease in 2014 primarily as a result of certain capital expenditure-related deductions, including the tangible repair regulations (e.g., de minimus expensing) released in late 2013, which will be partially offset by the continued reversal of bonus depreciation benefits recorded in prior years.
The Company made no cash contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans (the qualified pension plans) during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the qualified pension plans were estimated to be overfunded by $378 million, and the Company does not expect to make any discretionary cash contributions to the qualified pension plans during the remainder of 2014. For the nonqualified defined benefit pension plan (the nonqualified pension plan), the Company will continue to make contributions during the remainder of 2014 to the extent benefits are paid.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
See the 2013 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Companys outstanding debt and other financing arrangements, including certain information about maturities, covenants and rating triggers related to such debt and financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2014, TWC was in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant of the Revolving Credit Facility, with a ratio of consolidated total debt as of March 31, 2014 to consolidated EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 of approximately 3.0 times. In accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility agreement, consolidated total debt as of March 31, 2014 was calculated as (a) total debt per the accompanying consolidated balance sheet less the TWCE unamortized fair value adjustment (discussed above) and the fair value of debt subject to interest rate swaps, less (b) total cash per the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in excess of $25 million. In accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility agreement, consolidated EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 was calculated as Operating Income plus depreciation, amortization and equity-based compensation expense.
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenue, Operating Income, cash provided by operating activities and other financial measures. Words such as anticipates, estimates, expects, projects, intends, plans, believes and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are included throughout this report and are based on managements current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances.
The Company operates in a highly competitive, consumer and technology driven and rapidly changing business that is affected by government regulation and economic, strategic, political and social conditions. Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in the future and cause 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 2013 Form 10-K, and in TWCs other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) after the date of this report. In addition, important factors that could cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements include:
| increased competition from video, high-speed data, networking and voice providers, particularly direct broadcast satellite operators, telecommunication carriers, companies that deliver programming over broadband Internet connections, and wireless broadband and phone providers; |
| the Companys ability to deal effectively with the current challenging economic environment or further deterioration in the economy, which may negatively impact customers demand for the Companys services and also result in a reduction in the Companys advertising revenue; |
| the Companys continued ability to exploit new and existing technologies that appeal to residential and business services customers and advertisers; |
| changes in the regulatory and tax environments in which the Company operates, including, among others, regulation of broadband Internet services, net neutrality legislation or regulation and federal, state and local taxation; |
| increased difficulty negotiating programming and retransmission agreements on favorable terms, resulting in increased costs to the Company and/or the loss of popular programming; and |
| changes in, or impediments to executing on, the Companys plans, initiatives and strategies, including the proposed Comcast merger. |
Any forward-looking statements made by the Company in this document speak only as of the date on which they are made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Description of Business
Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, TWC or the Company) is among the largest providers of video, high-speed data and voice services in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered cable systems located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, the Midwest (including Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin), Southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. TWCs mission is to connect its customers to the worldsimply, reliably and with superior service. TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services to residential and business services customers. TWCs residential services also include security and home management services, and TWCs 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.
On February 12, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Comcast Corporation (Comcast) whereby the Company agreed to merge with and into a 100% owned subsidiary of Comcast. Refer to Note 2 for further details regarding the merger with Comcast.
Basis of Presentation
Changes in Basis of Presentation
Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments: Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations. The Companys reportable segments have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for the prior period to reflect the segment disclosures as if the current presentation had been in effect throughout all periods presented. Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding the Companys segment information.
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company revised its categorization of operating costs and expenses to be consistent with how such costs and expenses are presented to management and to provide a more meaningful presentation. The Company has recast the consolidated financial statements, financial information and disclosures of operating costs and expenses for the prior period to reflect the new categorization, which had no impact on total operating costs and expenses, Operating Income or net income attributable to TWC shareholders for any period presented. The Companys operating costs and expenses are presented in the following categories: (i) programming and content, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) technical operations, (iv) customer care and (v) other operating costs.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N) only for the TWE-A/N cable systems that are controlled by TWC and for which TWC holds an economic interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, derivative financial instruments, pension benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, loss contingencies, certain programming arrangements and asset impairments. Allocation methodologies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the notes, where appropriate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Reclassifications
As discussed above, 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
2. | RECENT DEVELOPMENTS |
Comcast Merger
On February 12, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Comcast whereby the Company agreed to merge with and into a 100% owned subsidiary of Comcast (the Comcast merger). Upon completion of the Comcast merger, all of the outstanding shares of the Company will be cancelled and each issued and outstanding share will be converted into the right to receive 2.875 shares of Class A common stock of Comcast. The Comcast merger, which is expected to close by the end of 2014, is subject to the approval of the Companys and Comcasts stockholders, regulatory approvals and certain other closing conditions. Charter Communications, Inc., which in January 2014 disclosed an unsolicited bid to acquire the Company, has indicated that it intends to solicit proxies from the Companys stockholders in opposition to the Comcast merger.
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.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to TWC common shareholders per basic and diluted common share (in millions, except per share data):

4. | GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
In the first quarter of 2014, in connection with the Companys determination that it has three reportable segments, the Company performed an evaluation of its reporting units and concluded that the Company has three reporting units (Residential Services, Business Services and TWC Media). The Company reallocated its goodwill to the new reporting units based upon the relative fair value of each reporting unit as of January 1, 2014. The Company determined that the fair value of each of the reporting units was significantly in excess of the respective carrying value.
The estimated fair value of each reporting unit for purposes of re-allocating goodwill was performed using a combination of a discounted cash flows (DCF) analysis and a market-based approach, which utilized significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs used in the DCF analysis included forecasted cash flows under the Companys most recent long-range projections, discount rates that reflect the risks inherent in each reporting unit and terminal growth rates. The market-based approach imputed the value of the reporting units after considering trading multiples for other publicly traded cable companies, telecommunications providers, and advertisers that are similar to the Companys reporting units.
In addition, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test of its cable franchise rights resulting in the conclusion that the fair value of these assets were significantly in excess of their carrying value. The quantitative impairment test for cable franchise rights was performed using a DCF analysis. The inputs used in the DCF analysis included forecasted cash flows under the Companys most recent long-range projections attributable to the cable franchise rights and discount rates that reflect the risks inherent in the cable franchise rights.

(a) | The Companys 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) | Of the total amount of interest rate swap assets recorded as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $10 million and $8 million, respectively, is recorded in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of interest rate swap liabilities recorded as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is recorded in other liabilities 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. The Company recognized cash collateral received on cross-currency swaps of $43 million as of March 31, 2014 (none as of December 31, 2013), which is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. |
(d) | The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. |
Fair Value Hedges
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by effectively converting fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. Under such contracts, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at fixed rates and is required to make semi-annual interest payments at variable rates, without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Such contracts are designated as fair value hedges. The Company 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 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 the Companys existing fixed to variable interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

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 deferred gain (loss) activity related to cash flow hedges recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net, and reclassified into other income (expense), net, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

Equity Award Reimbursement Obligation
Prior to 2007, some of TWCs employees were granted options to purchase shares of Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) common stock in connection with their past employment with subsidiaries and affiliates of Time Warner, including TWC. Upon the exercise of Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees, TWC is obligated to reimburse Time Warner for the excess of the market price of Time Warner common stock on the day of exercise over the option exercise price (the intrinsic value of the award). The Company records the equity award reimbursement obligation at fair value in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The change in the equity award reimbursement obligation fluctuates primarily with the fair value and expected volatility of Time Warner common stock and changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net, in the period of change. On March 12, 2014, all remaining outstanding Time Warner stock

options held by TWC employees expired. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was obligated to reimburse Time Warner $6 million, which consists of the intrinsic value of awards exercised through March 12, 2014 for which payment has not yet been made. The Company no longer views this obligation as a derivative financial instrument valued using Level 3 fair value measurements as the $6 million remaining liability is fixed.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Companys 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. Refer to Note 4 for further details regarding the Companys analysis of cable franchise rights and goodwill.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The Companys 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 Companys commercial paper program, which are reflected at cost in the consolidated balance sheet, and (b) TWC senior notes and debentures and Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (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 $24.260 billion and $27.601 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2014 and $25.003 billion and $25.187 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. 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).

Restricted Stock Units
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, TWC granted 3.575 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $135.31 per RSU, which included 143,000 RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions (PBUs) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $135.31 per PBU. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, TWC granted 1.160 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $86.77 per RSU, including 133,000 PBUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $86.76 per PBU. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2014, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $566 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 4.14 years.
As a result of the planned Comcast merger, the Company advanced the timing of its annual grants that would have been made in 2015 and 2016 into 2014. As a result, eligible employees were granted additional 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 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; 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. Like the Companys other equity awards, if a grantees employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within 24 months following the closing of the Comcast merger, the retention grants will vest in full. However, if the merger has not yet closed and the grantees employment is 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 will be forfeited. Employees who received retention grants will generally not be eligible for additional equity awards in 2015 or 2016. Consequently, absent the closing of the Comcast merger, both the employees and the Company would generally be in the same position they would have been in had the additional RSUs been granted in 2015 and 2016, rather than in 2014.
With the exception of the retention grants discussed above, RSUs, including PBUs, generally vest 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. RSUs generally provide for accelerated vesting upon the termination of the grantees employment after reaching a specified age and years of service or upon the termination of certain grantees employment within 24 months following the closing of the Comcast merger and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBUs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will generally be issued in connection with a directors termination of service as a director. Pursuant to the directors compensation program, certain directors with more than three years of service on the Board of Directors have elected an in-service vesting period for their RSU awards. Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents or retained distributions related to regular cash dividends or other distributions, respectively, paid by TWC. In the case of PBUs, the receipt of the dividend equivalents is subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. Retained distributions are subject to the vesting requirements of the underlying RSUs. 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, 2014, TWC granted no stock options. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, TWC granted 2.387 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.40 per option, including
32
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
283,000 stock options subject to performance-based vesting conditions (PBOs) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.43 per PBO. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2014, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $38 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.28 years.
Stock options, including PBOs, have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of TWC common stock at the date of grant. Generally, stock options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance condition. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon the termination of the grantees employment after reaching a specified age and years of service or upon the termination of certain grantees employment within 24 months following the closing of the Comcast merger and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBOs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied. 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.

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 Companys 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, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in millions):

The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs during 2014 primarily related to employee terminations in connection with initiatives intended to improve operating efficiency. Changes in the Companys restructuring reserves are presented below (in millions):

10. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments, which have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for the prior period to reflect the segment disclosures as if the current presentation had been in effect throughout all periods presented.
The Company classifies its operations into the following reportable segments:
| Residential Services, which principally consists of video, high-speed data and voice services provided to residential customers as well as other residential services, including home automation and monitoring. |
| 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 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 revenues and costs, including those derived from the Advance/Newhouse Partnership 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 Companys 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 Companys operations, a majority of its assets, including its distribution systems, are utilized across the Companys 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 Companys segments. Accordingly, the Company has not disclosed asset information by segment.

Use of OIBDA
Management uses Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA), among other measures, in evaluating the segments performance because it eliminates the effects of (i) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and amortization and (ii) items not within the control of the Companys operations managers (such as income tax provision, other income (expense), net, and interest expense, net). Management also uses this measure to evaluate the Companys consolidated operating performance and to allocate resources and capital to the segments. Performance measures derived from OIBDA are also used in the Companys annual incentive compensation programs. In addition, this measure is commonly used by analysts, investors and others in evaluating the Companys performance.
This measure has inherent limitations. For example, OIBDA does not reflect capital expenditures or the periodic costs of certain capitalized assets used in generating revenue. To compensate for such limitations, management evaluates the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.

Legal Proceedings
Following the announcement of the Comcast merger on February 13, 2014, eight putative class action complaints challenging the merger were filed on behalf of purported TWC stockholders, seven in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York and one in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. These complaints were captioned: Barrett v. Time Warner Cable

Ct.); Thomas v. Marcus, et al. (N.Y. Sup. Ct.); Tangarone v. Time Warner Cable Inc. (N.Y. Sup. Ct.); Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System v. Black, et al. (Del. Ch.); and Empire State Supply Corp. v. Time Warner Cable Inc., et al. (N.Y. Sup. Ct.). On March 25, 2014, the plaintiffs voluntarily discontinued Tangarone v. Time Warner Cable Inc. in the Supreme Court of New York and re-filed the action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware under the caption Tangarone v. Time Warner Cable Inc. (Del. Ch.). Likewise, on March 26, 2014, the plaintiffs in Empire State Supply Corp. v. Time Warner Cable Inc., et al. voluntarily discontinued the action in the Supreme Court of New York, and re-filed the action on March 27, 2014 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware under the caption Empire State Supply Corp. v. Time Warner Cable Inc., et al. (Del. Ch.). On March 28, 2014, the plaintiffs in Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System v. Black, et al. (Del. Ch.) filed an amended complaint. On April 3, 2014, the plaintiffs in Barrett, et al. v. Time Warner Cable Inc., et al. (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) filed a consolidated amended complaint, and on April 15, 2014, the five remaining New York actions were consolidated under the caption Barrett, et al. v. Time Warner Cable Inc., et al. (N.Y. Sup. Ct.). These complaints name as defendants the Company, the members of the Companys Board of Directors, Comcast and Tango Acquisition Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub). The complaints assert that the members of the Companys Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Companys stockholders during the Comcast merger negotiations and by entering into the Comcast merger agreement and approving the Comcast merger, and that Comcast and Merger Sub aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaints also allege that the Company and its Board of Directors failed to disclose in the registration statement related to the Comcast merger material facts relating to the merger. The complaints seek, among other relief, injunctive relief enjoining the shareholder vote on the Comcast merger and the Comcast merger, unspecified declaratory and equitable relief, compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, and costs and fees. The Company intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
On December 11, 2013, Constellation Technologies LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rockstar Consortium US LP (Rockstar), filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and its subsidiary, TWCE, infringe six patents purportedly relating to the Companys use of various technologies, including switched digital technology for video delivery, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks and data routing techniques, Ethernet passive optical networks and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) protocols to provide video, high-speed data and voice services. Rockstar acquired these patents and others from Nortel Networks Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nortel Networks Corporation, in 2011. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages. On January 3, 2014, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, and on February 7, 2014, the Company moved to dismiss certain allegations in the Amended Complaint. 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 19, 2011, Sprint Communications Company L.P. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas alleging that the Company infringes 12 patents purportedly relating to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
The Company is the defendant in In re: Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, ten purported class actions filed in federal district courts throughout the U.S. These actions are subject to a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Order transferring the cases for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 26, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a third amended consolidated class action complaint (the Third Amended Complaint), alleging that the Company violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, various state antitrust laws and state unfair/deceptive trade practices statutes by tying the sales of premium cable television services to the leasing of set-top converter boxes. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to cease such alleged practices. On September 30, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint, which the court granted on April 8, 2011. On June 17, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
On August 9, 2010, the plaintiffs in Michelle Downs and Laurie Jarrett, et al. v. Insight Communications Company, L.P. filed a second amended complaint in a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky alleging that Insight Communications Company, L.P. violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by tying the sales of premium cable television services to the leasing of set-top converter boxes, which is similar to the federal claim against the

Company in In re: Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, discussed above. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to cease such alleged practices. On July 19, 2013, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, which argued that Insight Communications Company, L.P. did not coerce the plaintiffs to lease a set-top converter box, a necessary element of the plaintiffs claim. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties and, in some cases, is party to litigation alleging that certain of the Companys 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 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.
Other Matters
The California Attorney General and the Alameda County, California District Attorney are investigating whether certain of the Companys 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, 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 Warners interests in cable systems were transferred to the Company (the TWE Restructuring). As part of the TWE Restructuring, Time Warner agreed to indemnify the Company from and against any and all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from specified litigation matters brought against the TWE non-cable businesses. Although Time Warner has agreed to indemnify the Company against such liabilities, TWE remains a named party in certain litigation matters. In connection with an internal reorganization on September 30, 2012, TWE merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity.
The costs and other effects of future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in pending matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and operating results.

13. | 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 Companys 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
As discussed in Note 1, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company revised its categorization of operating costs and expenses to be consistent with how such costs and expenses are presented to management and to provide a more meaningful presentation. As such, the Company has recast operating costs and expenses in the consolidating statement of operations for the prior period to reflect the new categorization. Refer to Note 1 for further details.
On November 1, 2013, the Company completed the second phase of an internal reorganization to simplify its organizational structure. As part of this phase of the reorganization, on November 1, 2013, TW NY Cable Holding Inc. merged with and into the Parent Company, with the Parent Company as the surviving entity, and TWC Internet Holdings II merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity and a direct 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. As a result of this phase of the reorganization, the presentation of the condensed consolidating statement of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the prior period has been recast to reflect TWCE as the sole subsidiary guarantor of debt securities issued by the Parent Company.

In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Companys interests in the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiarys 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 Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column Eliminations. All assets and liabilities have been allocated to the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries generally based on legal entity ownership. Certain administrative costs have been allocated to the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries based on revenue recorded at the respective entity. Beginning December 1, 2013, the Parent Company began allocating 100% of its third-party interest expense, net of interest income received from intercompany loans, to the Guarantor Subsidiary. Prior to December 1, 2013, a portion of the interest expense incurred by the Parent Company was allocated to the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries based on revenue recorded at the respective entity. The income tax provision has been presented based on each subsidiarys legal entity activity including income tax benefits related to allocated administrative costs and interest expense. Deferred income taxes have been presented based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.

On July 25, 2013, the Companys Board of Directors increased the remaining authorization under the Stock Repurchase Program to an aggregate of up to $4.0 billion of TWC Common Stock effective July 25, 2013.

Purchases under the Stock Repurchase Program were made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of the Companys purchases were based on a number of factors, including business and market conditions, financial capacity and the TWC common stock price. |
