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 susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”) for a discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Company.
OVERVIEW
       TWC is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas – New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, Ohio, Southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of March 31, 2011, TWC served approximately 14.5 million residential and commercial customers who subscribed to one or more of its three primary subscription services – video, high-speed data and voice – totaling approximately 26.9 million primary service units.
       TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services over its broadband cable systems to residential and commercial customers. TWC markets its services separately and in “bundled” packages of multiple services and features. As of March 31, 2011, 59.5% of TWC’s residential and commercial customers subscribed to two or more of its primary services, including 25.9% of its customers who subscribed to all three primary services. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, TWC generated approximately $4.6 billion of subscription revenues. TWC also sells advertising to a variety of national, regional and local advertising customers, resulting in advertising revenues of $197 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
       Video generates the largest share of TWC’s revenues and, as of March 31, 2011, TWC had approximately 12.2 million residential video subscribers and 166,000 commercial video subscribers. Of the Company’s video subscribers, as of March 31, 2011, 73.1% received digital video signals. As of March 31, 2011, TWC had approximately 9.6 million residential high-speed data subscribers and 346,000 commercial high-speed data subscribers. TWC’s commercial high-speed data services include high-speed data, networking and transport services. As of March 31, 2011, TWC had approximately 4.5 million residential Digital Phone subscribers and 123,000 commercial Digital Phone subscribers.
       TWC believes it will continue to increase subscription revenues for the foreseeable future through the offering of incremental video services (e.g., digital video recorder (“DVR”) service and additional programming tiers), video equipment rentals, price increases and growth in high-speed data and Digital Phone subscribers. However, future growth rates will depend on subscriber and penetration levels, regulation and pricing, as well as the state of the economy and competition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)
        TWC’s business is affected by the economic environment and, in particular, trends in new home formation, housing vacancy rates, unemployment rates and consumer spending levels. The Company believes that the challenging economic environment over the last few years has negatively affected its financial and subscriber growth.
        TWC faces intense competition for customers from a variety of alternative communications, information and entertainment delivery sources. TWC competes with incumbent local telephone companies, including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., across each of its primary services. Some of these telephone companies 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 services also faces competition from other companies that provide services on a stand-alone basis. TWC’s video service faces competition from direct broadcast satellite services, and increasingly from companies that deliver content to consumers over the Internet. TWC’s high-speed data service faces competition from wireless data providers, and competition in voice service is increasing as more homes in the U.S. are replacing their wireline telephone service with wireless service or “over-the-top” phone service. Additionally, technological advances and product innovations have increased and will likely continue to increase the number of alternatives available to TWC’s customers and potential customers, further intensifying competition. The Company believes the more competitive environment has negatively affected its financial and subscriber growth.
        For the three months ended March 31, 2011, video programming costs and employee costs represented 34.9% and 32.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total operating expenses. Video programming costs are expected to continue to increase, reflecting rate increases on existing programming services, incremental costs associated with retransmission consent agreements, growth in video subscribers taking tiers of service with more channels and the expansion of service offerings (e.g., new network channels). TWC expects that its video programming costs as a percentage of video revenues will continue to increase as the rate of growth in programming costs outpaces the rate of growth in video revenues. Additionally, the more competitive environment discussed above may increase TWC’s cost to obtain certain video programming. Employee costs are also expected to continue to increase as a result of many factors, including higher compensation expenses and the Company’s investment in its commercial services and other areas of growth.
Recent Developments
NaviSite Acquisition
        On April 21, 2011, TWC acquired NaviSite, Inc. (“NaviSite”) for $5.50 per share of NaviSite common stock, or a total equity value of $231 million, in cash (including amounts paid for outstanding NaviSite equity awards). At closing, TWC also repaid NaviSite’s debt and acquired all of its preferred equity for a total of $80 million in cash. NaviSite, which provides enterprise-class hosting, managed application, messaging and cloud services, had revenues of $126 million for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2010.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Revenues
        The Company’s revenues consist of subscription and advertising revenues. Subscription revenues consist of revenues from residential and commercial video, high-speed data and voice services.
        Video revenues include residential and commercial subscriber fees for the Company’s three main levels or “tiers” of video programming service—Basic Service Tier (“BST”), Expanded Basic Service Tier (or Cable Programming Service Tier) (“CPST”) and Digital Basic Service Tier (“DBT”), as well as fees for genre-based programming tiers, such as movie, sports and Spanish-language tiers. Video revenues also include related equipment rental charges, installation charges and fees collected on behalf of local franchising authorities and the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”). Additionally, video revenues include revenues from premium channels, transactional video-on-demand (e.g., events and movies) and DVR service. Several ancillary items are also included within video revenues, such as commissions earned on the sale of merchandise by home shopping networks and revenues from home monitoring and security services.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)
        High-speed data revenues primarily include residential and commercial subscriber fees for the Company’s high-speed data and mobile high-speed data services, along with related home networking fees and installation charges. High-speed data revenues also include fees paid to TWC by (a) the Advance/Newhouse Partnership for the ability to distribute TWC’s Road Runner® high-speed data service (“Road Runner”) and TWC’s management of certain functions for the Advance/Newhouse Partnership, including, among others, programming and engineering, and (b) other distributors of TWC’s Road Runner high-speed data service. In addition, high-speed data revenues include fees received from third-party internet service providers (e.g., Earthlink) whose on-line services are provided to some of TWC’s customers. Commercial high-speed data revenues also include amounts generated by the sale of commercial networking and transport services. These services include point-to-point transport services offered to wireless telephone providers (i.e., cell tower backhaul), Internet service providers and competitive carriers on a wholesale basis, as well as Metro Ethernet service.
        Voice revenues include subscriber fees from residential and commercial Digital Phone subscribers, along with related installation charges.
        Advertising revenues include the fees charged to local, regional and national advertising customers for advertising placed on the Company’s video and high-speed data services, as well as revenues from advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors. Nearly all Advertising revenues are derived from advertising placed on video services.
Costs and Expenses
        Costs of revenues include the following costs directly associated with the delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Company’s delivery systems: video programming costs; high-speed data connectivity costs; voice network costs; mobile high-speed data service costs; other service-related expenses, including non-administrative labor; franchise fees; and other related costs.
        Selling, general and administrative expenses include amounts not directly associated with the delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Company’s delivery systems, such as administrative labor costs, marketing expenses, bad debt expense, billing system charges, non-plant repair and maintenance costs and other administrative overhead costs.
Use of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow
        In discussing its performance, the Company may use certain measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures include OIBDA and Free Cash Flow, which the Company defines as follows:
   
OIBDA (Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization) means Operating Income before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets.
 
   
Free Cash Flow means cash provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) excluding the impact, if any, of cash provided or used by discontinued operations, plus any excess tax benefit from equity-based compensation, less (i) capital expenditures, (ii) cash paid for other intangible assets, (iii) partnership distributions to third parties and (iv) principal payments on capital leases.
        Management uses OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business because it eliminates the effects of (1) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and amortization and (2) items not within the control of the Company’s operations managers (such as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax provision, other income (expense), net, and interest expense, net). Management believes that Free Cash Flow is an important indicator of the Company’s liquidity after the payment of cash taxes, interest and other cash items, including its ability to reduce net debt, pay dividends, repurchase common stock and make strategic investments. Performance measures derived from OIBDA are also used in the Company’s annual incentive compensation programs. In addition, both of these measures are commonly used by analysts, investors and others in evaluating the Company’s performance and liquidity.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)
        These measures have inherent limitations. For example, OIBDA does not reflect capital expenditures or the periodic costs of certain capitalized assets used in generating revenues. To compensate for such limitations, management evaluates performance through, among other measures, Free Cash Flow, which reflects 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 share of OIBDA attributable to noncontrolling interests, 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. Free Cash Flow, a liquidity measure, does not reflect payments made in connection with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates such investments and acquisitions through other measures such as return on investment analyses.
        These measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, the Company’s Operating Income, net income attributable to TWC shareholders and various cash flow measures (e.g., cash provided by operating activities), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Basis of Presentation
Reclassifications
        Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation, including certain sales-related customer care costs of $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which have been reclassified from costs of revenues to selling, general and administrative expenses. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s Operating Income or net income attributable to TWC shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

        The increase in video revenues was primarily due to increases in average revenues per subscriber (due to price increases, improved subscriber mix and increased DVR service revenues), partially offset by a decrease in residential video subscribers. The major components of video revenues were as follows (in millions):
                         
    Three Months Ended March 31,    
    2011   2010   % Change
Programming tiers(a)
   $ 1,810      $ 1,811       (0.1 %)

(a)  
Programming tier revenues include subscriber fees for the BST, CPST and DBT video programming tiers, as well as genre-based programming tiers, such as movie, sports and Spanish-language tiers.
(b)  
Franchise and other fees include fees collected on behalf of franchising authorities and the FCC.
        High-speed data revenues increased primarily due to growth in residential and commercial high-speed data subscribers and increases in average revenues per subscriber (due to both price increases and improved subscriber mix) and cell tower backhaul and Metro Ethernet revenues.
        The increase in voice revenues was due to growth in residential and commercial Digital Phone subscribers, as well as an increase in average revenues per subscriber.

    4,883       4,982       (2.0 %)
Triple play(h)
    3,763       3,521       6.9%
 
(a)  
Video subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive at least the BST video programming tier. The determination of whether a video subscriber is categorized as residential or commercial is based on the type of subscriber receiving the service.
(b)  
High-speed data subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive TWC’s Road Runner high-speed data service or any of the other high-speed data services offered by TWC. High-speed data subscriber numbers as of March 31, 2011 exclude 19,000 mobile high-speed data subscribers.
(c)  
The determination of whether a high-speed data or Digital Phone subscriber is categorized as commercial or residential is generally based upon the type of service provided to that subscriber. For example, if TWC provides a commercial service, the subscriber is classified as commercial.
(d)  
Digital Phone subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive an IP-based telephony service.
(e)  
Primary service unit numbers represent the total of all video, high-speed data and voice subscribers.
(f)  
Customer relationships represent the number of subscribers who receive at least one of the Company’s primary services. For example, a subscriber who purchases only high-speed data service and no video service will count as one customer relationship, and a subscriber who purchases both video and high-speed data services will also count as only one customer relationship.
(g)  
Double play subscriber numbers reflect customers who subscribe to two of the Company’s primary services.
(h)  
Triple play subscriber numbers reflect customers who subscribe to all three of the Company’s primary services.
        Average monthly subscription revenues (which includes residential and commercial video, high-speed data and voice revenues) per unit were as follows:
                         
    Three Months Ended March 31,    
    2011   2010   % Change
Average monthly subscription revenues per:
                       
Customer relationship
   $ 106.52      $ 101.21       5.2 %
Primary service unit
    57.61       55.73       3.4 %
        Advertising revenues increased primarily due to higher revenues from regional, local and, to a lesser extent, national businesses and growth in lower margin revenues from advertising inventory sold on behalf of other video distributors (“advertising rep agreements”). The Company expects that advertising revenues will increase in 2011 compared to 2010 as a result of increases in revenues from regional, local and national businesses and growth in revenues from advertising rep agreements, partially offset by a significant decrease in political advertising revenues.

        Costs of revenues. The major components of costs of revenues were as follows (in millions, except per subscriber data):
                         
    Three Months Ended March 31,

Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues
    47.1 %     47.4 %        
 
                   
 
                       
Average monthly video programming costs per video subscriber
   $ 29.14      $ 27.39       6.4 %
 
                   
 
(a)  
Employee and other direct operating costs include costs directly associated with the delivery of the Company’s video, high-speed data and voice services to subscribers and the maintenance of the Company’s delivery systems.
(b)  
Video franchise and other fees include fees collected on behalf of franchising authorities and the FCC.
        Costs of revenues increased 4.3%, primarily related to increases in video programming and employee costs.
        The increase in video programming costs was primarily due to contractual rate increases and incremental costs associated with retransmission of certain local broadcast stations, partially offset by a decline in video subscribers. Additionally, video programming costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included a benefit of approximately $18 million due to changes in cost estimates for programming services previously carried without a contract. The Company expects the rate of growth in total video programming costs in 2011 to be comparable to that of 2010.
        Employee costs increased primarily as a result of higher headcount and compensation.
        Voice costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of voice services, including network connectivity costs. Voice costs increased slightly primarily due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers, partially offset by a decrease in delivery costs per subscriber as a result of the ongoing replacement of Sprint Nextel Corporation (“Sprint”) as the provider of Digital Phone transport, switching and interconnection services. This process began in the fourth quarter of 2010 and is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2014. As a result, the Company expects average voice costs per voice subscriber to decrease in 2011 compared to 2010.
        Other direct operating costs increased as a result of increases in a number of categories, including costs associated with advertising rep agreements and mobile high-speed data service costs.

As a result of the Company’s separation (the “Separation”) from Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”) on March 12, 2009, pursuant to their terms, Time Warner equity awards held by TWC employees were forfeited and/or experienced a reduction in value as of the date of the Separation. Amounts represent the costs associated with TWC stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to TWC employees during the second quarter of 2009 to offset these forfeitures and/or reduced values (“Separation-related ‘make-up’ equity award costs”).
        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of increases in employee costs (primarily due to higher headcount and compensation) and consulting and professional fees.
        Restructuring costs. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include restructuring costs of $6 million and $11 million, respectively, primarily related to headcount reductions of approximately 135 and 170, respectively, and other exit costs. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs during 2011.
        Reconciliation of OIBDA to Operating Income. The following table reconciles OIBDA to Operating Income. In addition, the table provides the components from Operating Income to net income attributable to TWC shareholders for purposes of the discussions that follow (in millions):

        OIBDA. OIBDA increased principally as a result of revenue growth, partially offset by higher costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, as discussed above.
        The Company expects to incur start up losses of approximately $75 million during 2011 in connection with the continuing deployment of mobile high-speed data service and other new services, such as advanced home monitoring and security services, of which approximately $15 million were incurred during the first quarter of 2011. The results for the first quarter of 2010 included start up losses of approximately $5 million in connection with the deployment of mobile high-speed data service.

        Amortization. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily due to (a) approximately $880 million of customer relationships acquired in the July 31, 2006 transactions with Adelphia Communications Corporation and Comcast Corporation that were fully amortized as of July 31, 2010 and (b) approximately $70 million of customer relationships that the Company acquired as a result of the 2007 dissolution of Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. that were fully amortized as of December 31, 2010.
        Operating Income. Operating Income increased primarily due to the increase in OIBDA and the decrease in amortization expense, as discussed above.
        Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, increased primarily due to higher average debt outstanding during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010.
        Other expense, net. Other expense, net, detail is shown in the table below (in millions):

        Income tax provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $256 million and $273 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 44.0% and 55.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The income tax provisions and the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were impacted by certain noncash charges, described below, related to the reversal of deferred income tax assets associated with Time Warner stock option awards held by TWC employees.
        As a result of the Separation, on March 12, 2009, TWC employees who held stock option awards under Time Warner equity plans were treated as if their employment with Time Warner had been terminated without cause. In most cases, this treatment resulted in shortened exercise periods for vested awards, generally one year from the date of Separation. Deferred income tax assets were previously established based on these awards’ fair values as a corresponding benefit to the Company’s income tax provision was recognized over the awards’ service periods. Since the fair value of the awards not exercised prior to expiration, on March 12, 2010, was $0 (because the awards expired “out of the money”), the Company received no tax deduction in connection with these awards and, since TWC did not have a pool of excess tax benefits (an “APIC pool”), the previously-recognized deferred income tax assets were written off through a $72 million charge to income tax expense during the first quarter of 2010.
        Some TWC employees hold vested Time Warner stock options that, pursuant to the terms of the relevant award agreements, expire over a five-year period from the date of the Separation. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a net charge of $20 million, which was comprised of a noncash charge of $48 million related to the write-off of deferred income tax assets associated with these Time Warner awards, partially offset by a benefit of $28 million for excess tax benefits realized upon the exercise of TWC stock options or vesting of TWC RSUs.
        The Company estimates that it may incur additional noncash charges totaling up to $10 million during the remainder of 2011 upon the expiration of additional Time Warner stock options. These additional charges, along with the net charge of $20 million recorded in the first quarter of 2011, may be reduced during the remainder of 2011 if the Company recognizes excess tax benefits from TWC equity awards. These estimates and the timing of such charges are dependent on a number of variables related to TWC and Time Warner equity awards, including the respective stock prices and the timing of the exercise or expiration of stock options and RSUs.
        Absent the impacts of the above items, the effective tax rates would have been 40.5% and 41.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        Net income attributable to TWC shareholders and net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders. Net income attributable to TWC shareholders and net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in millions, except per share data):
                         
    Three Months Ended March 31,    
    2011   2010   % Change
Net income attributable to TWC shareholders
   $ 325      $ 214       51.9 %
 
                   
Net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders:
                       
Basic
   $ 0.94      $ 0.60       56.7 %
 
                   
Diluted
   $ 0.93      $ 0.60       55.0 %
 
                   
        Net income attributable to TWC shareholders and net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders increased primarily due to an increase in Operating Income and a decrease in income tax provision, which was partially offset by increases in interest expense, net, and other expense, net, each as discussed above.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
        Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter, including quarterly dividend payments and common stock repurchases. TWC’s sources of cash include cash and equivalents on hand, cash provided by operating activities, borrowing capacity under its committed credit facility and commercial paper program, as well as access to capital markets.
        The Company generally invests its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market, government and treasury funds, as well as other similar instruments, 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. As of March 31, 2011, nearly all of the Company’s cash and equivalents was invested in money market funds and certificates of deposit (“CD”), with no more than 15% invested in any one fund or CD.
        TWC’s unused committed financial capacity was $6.877 billion as of March 31, 2011, reflecting $3.033 billion of cash and equivalents and $3.844 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Company’s $4.0 billion senior unsecured three-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
Current Financial Condition
        As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $23.077 billion of debt, $3.033 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $20.044 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300 million of mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A Preferred Equity Membership Units (the “TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units”) issued by a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (“TW NY Cable”), and $8.632 billion of total TWC shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $23.121 billion of debt, $3.047 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $20.074 billion), $300 million of TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units and $9.210 billion of total TWC shareholders’ equity.
        The following table shows the significant items contributing to the change in net debt from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (in millions):

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)
        TWC has a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that allows TWC to offer and sell from time to time senior and subordinated debt securities and debt warrants.
        From the inception of the Company’s $4.0 billion common stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”) through April 26, 2011, the Company repurchased 22.9 million shares of TWC common stock for $1.554 billion. As of April 26, 2011, the Company had $2.446 billion remaining under the Stock Repurchase Program.
        As discussed above, on April 21, 2011, TWC acquired NaviSite for $5.50 per share of NaviSite common stock, or a total equity value of $231 million, in cash (including amounts paid for outstanding NaviSite equity awards). At closing, TWC also repaid NaviSite’s debt and acquired all of its preferred equity for a total of $80 million in cash.
Cash Flows
        Cash and equivalents decreased $14 million and $687 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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,
    2011   2010
OIBDA

All other, net, including working capital changes
    (49 )     68  
 
           
Cash provided by operating activities
   $ 1,570      $ 1,386  
 
           
 
(a)  
Amounts include interest income received (including amounts received under interest rate swaps) of $43 million and $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(b)  
Amounts include income tax refunds received of $271 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
        Cash provided by operating activities increased from $1.386 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $1.570 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily related to increases in net income tax refunds and OIBDA, partially offset by a change in working capital requirements and an increase in net interest payments.
        On September 27, 2010, the Small Business Jobs Act was enacted, which provided for a bonus depreciation deduction of 50% of the cost of the Company’s qualified capital expenditures retroactive to the beginning of 2010. Additionally, on December 17, 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 was enacted, which provides for a bonus depreciation deduction of 100% of the cost of the Company’s qualified capital expenditures from September 8, 2010 through December 31, 2011. As a result of these Acts, the Company received an income tax refund of $270 million in the first quarter of 2011. Due to this refund and the benefit of 100% bonus depreciation through December 31, 2011, the Company does not expect to pay significant net income taxes in 2011.
        Net interest payments increased primarily as a result of interest payments related to the public debt issuances in December 2009 and November 2010. The Company expects that its net interest payments will increase in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily as a result of interest payments related to these public debt issuances.
        The Company may make discretionary cash contributions to its pension plans during 2011.

(a)  
Amount reflects the receipt of the Company’s pro rata share of partial distributions made by The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund.
        Cash used by investing activities decreased from $717 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $655 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease was principally due to a decline in capital expenditures. The Company expects that capital expenditures will be less than $3.0 billion in 2011.
        TWC’s capital expenditures included the following major categories (in millions):
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2011   2010
Customer premise equipment(a)
   $ 254      $ 315

(a)  
Amounts represent costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment that resides at a customer’s home or business for the purpose of receiving/sending video, high-speed data and/or voice signals. Such equipment includes set-top boxes, remote controls, high-speed data modems (including wireless), telephone modems and the costs of installing such new equipment. Customer premise equipment also includes materials and labor costs incurred to install the “drop” cable that connects a customer’s dwelling or business to the closest point of the main distribution network.
(b)  
Amounts represent costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment that controls signal reception, processing and transmission throughout TWC’s distribution network, as well as controls and communicates with the equipment residing at a customer’s home or business. Also included in scalable infrastructure is certain equipment necessary for content aggregation and distribution (video-on-demand equipment) and equipment necessary to provide certain video, high-speed data and Digital Phone service features (voicemail, e-mail, etc.).
(c)  
Amounts represent costs incurred to extend TWC’s distribution network into a geographic area previously not served. These costs typically include network design, the purchase and installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and certain electronic equipment.
(d)  
Amounts primarily represent costs incurred to upgrade or replace certain existing components or an entire geographic area of TWC’s distribution network. These costs typically include network design, the purchase and installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and certain electronic equipment.
(e)  
Amounts represent all other capital purchases required to run day-to-day operations. These costs typically include vehicles, land and buildings, computer hardware/software, office equipment, furniture and fixtures, tools and test equipment. Amounts include capitalized software costs of $78 million and $35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
        TWC incurs expenditures associated with the construction of its cable systems. Costs associated with the construction of transmission and distribution facilities are capitalized. TWC generally capitalizes expenditures for tangible fixed assets having a useful life of greater than one year. Capitalized costs include direct material, labor and overhead, as well as interest. Sales and marketing costs, as well as the costs of repairing or maintaining existing fixed assets, are expensed as incurred. With respect to customer premise equipment, which includes set-top boxes and high-speed data and telephone modems, TWC capitalizes installation costs only upon the initial deployment of these assets. All costs incurred in subsequent disconnects and reconnects of previously installed customer premise equipment are expensed as incurred. Depreciation on these assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. For set-top boxes and modems, the useful life is 3 to 5 years, and, for distribution plant, the useful life is up to 16 years.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)
       The Company operates in a highly competitive, consumer and technology driven and rapidly changing business that is affected by government regulation and economic, strategic, political and social conditions. Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in the future and cause TWC’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the 2010 Form 10-K, and in TWC’s other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report. In addition, important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements include:
   
increased competition from video, high-speed data and voice providers, particularly direct broadcast satellite operators, incumbent local telephone companies, companies that deliver programming over broadband Internet connections, and wireless broadband and phone providers;
 
   
the Company’s ability to deal effectively with the current challenging economic environment or further deterioration in the economy, which may negatively impact customers’ demand for the Company’s services and also result in a reduction in the Company’s advertising revenues;
 
   
the Company’s continued ability to exploit new and existing technologies that appeal to residential and commercial customers;
 
   
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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
        The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
        There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
        Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TWC” or the “Company”) is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas – New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, Ohio, Southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services over its broadband cable systems to residential and commercial customers. TWC markets its services separately and in “bundled” packages of multiple services and features. TWC also sells advertising to a variety of national, regional and local advertising customers.
Recent Developments
NaviSite Acquisition
        On April 21, 2011, TWC acquired NaviSite, Inc. (“NaviSite”) for $5.50 per share of NaviSite common stock, or a total equity value of $231 million, in cash (including amounts paid for outstanding NaviSite equity awards). At closing, TWC also repaid NaviSite’s debt and acquired all of its preferred equity for a total of $80 million in cash. NaviSite provides enterprise-class hosting, managed application, messaging and cloud services.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation
        The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest. In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, 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 asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, investments, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, pension benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies and certain programming arrangements. Allocation methodologies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the notes, where appropriate.
Reclassifications
        Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation, including certain sales-related customer care costs of $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which have been reclassified from costs of revenues to selling, general and administrative expenses. This reclassification had no impact on the Company’s Operating Income or net income attributable to TWC shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

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, 2010.
2.   RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2011
Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
        In September 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides for a new methodology for establishing the fair value for a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement. When vendor specific objective or third-party evidence for deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement cannot be determined, an enterprise is required to develop a best estimate of the selling price of separate deliverables and to allocate the arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. This guidance became effective for TWC on January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Software Elements
        In September 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides for a new methodology for recognizing revenue for tangible products that are bundled with software products. Under the new guidance, tangible products that are bundled with software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be accounted for under the software revenue recognition accounting guidance. Rather, such products will be accounted for under the new authoritative guidance surrounding multiple-element arrangements described above. This guidance became effective for TWC on January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations and Disclosures
        In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that updates existing disclosure requirements related to supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. Under the updated guidance, a public entity that presents comparative financial statements should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance became effective for TWC on January 1, 2011 and will be applied prospectively to business combinations that have an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2011.
Impairment Testing for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
        In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides additional guidance on when to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. Under this guidance, an entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. This guidance became effective for TWC on January 1, 2011 and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE
        Basic net income 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 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):
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2011   2010
Net income attributable to TWC shareholders
    $ 325       $ 214

Average diluted common shares outstanding

Net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders:
               
Basic
    $ 0.94       $ 0.60  
 
       
Diluted
    $ 0.93       $ 0.60  
 
       
 
(a)  
The Company’s restricted stock units granted to employees and non-employee directors are considered participating securities with respect to regular quarterly cash dividends.
        Diluted net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 excludes 1.9 million and 1.8 million, respectively, of potential common shares related to equity-based compensation, because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have had an antidilutive effect.
4.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
        The fair values of the assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s derivative financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows (in millions):

(Unaudited)
Interest Rate Swaps
        Interest rate swaps are used to convert fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had interest rate swaps outstanding that effectively convert $7.850 billion of fixed-rate debt instruments, with maturities extending through May 2017, to variable-rate debt. These swap contracts are designated as fair value hedges. Under its interest rate swaps, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at fixed rates ranging from 3.500% to 10.150% and is required to make semi-annual interest payments at variable rates based on LIBOR plus margins ranging from 0.755% to 8.442%. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.
Foreign Currency Forwards
        Foreign currency forwards are used to mitigate the risk to the Company from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forwards to buy Philippine pesos for $4 million. Such contracts, which extend through May 2011, are designated as cash flow hedges and specifically relate to forecasted payments denominated in the Philippine peso made to vendors who provide customer care support services. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the effects of foreign currency forwards on earnings were immaterial. The Company expects insignificant net gains (losses) to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, and into earnings within the next 12 months.
Equity Award Reimbursement Obligation
        Upon the exercise of Time Warner Inc. (“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 the consolidated balance sheet, which is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The change in the equity award reimbursement obligation fluctuates primarily with the fair value and expected volatility of Time Warner common stock and changes in fair value are recorded in other expense, net in the period of change. Refer to Note 5 for the changes in the fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation.
5.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        The fair value of interest rate swaps, classified as Level 2, utilized a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. The fair value of foreign currency forwards, classified as Level 2, utilized an income approach model based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation, classified as Level 3, utilized a Black-Scholes model using the fair value and expected volatility of Time Warner common stock.

    $ 23  
 
   
 
(a)   Of the total gains recognized in 2010, $4 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Other Financial Instruments
        The Company’s other financial instruments, excluding debt subject to interest rate swaps, are not required to be carried at fair value. Based on the level of interest rates prevailing at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of TWC’s fixed-rate debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity exceeded the carrying value by approximately $2.464 billion and $2.818 billion as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash and are not recognized for financial reporting purposes unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity. The carrying value for the majority of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. For the remainder of the Company’s other financial instruments, differences between the carrying value and fair value are not significant as of March 31, 2011. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where a quoted market value is not available, fair value is based on an estimate using present value or other valuation techniques.
Non-Financial Instruments
        The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include investments, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, any resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at its fair value.
6.   TWC SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock Repurchase Program
        On October 29, 2010, TWC’s Board of Directors authorized a $4.0 billion common stock repurchase program (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). Purchases under the Stock Repurchase Program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of the Company’s purchases under the Stock Repurchase Program are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011, the Company repurchased 12.0 million shares of TWC common stock for $830 million, including 0.6 million shares repurchased for $42 million that settled in April 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $2.656 billion remaining under the Stock Repurchase Program.

7.   EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
        The Company currently has one active equity plan (the “2006 Plan”) under which TWC is authorized to grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to purchase shares of TWC common stock to its employees and non-employee directors. As of March 31, 2011, the 2006 Plan provides for issuance of up to 51.3 million shares of TWC common stock of which 10.7 million shares are available for grant.
        Equity-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in millions):
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2011   2010
Restricted stock units
    $ 26       $ 19  
Stock options
    15       17  
 
       
Total equity-based compensation expense
    $ 41       $ 36  
 
       
Restricted Stock Units
        For the three months ended March 31, 2011, TWC granted 1.353 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $72.04 per RSU, including 158,000 RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBUs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $72.05 per PBU. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, TWC granted 1.935 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $45.15 per RSU. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2011, without taking into account expected forfeitures, is $178 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.12 years.
        RSUs, including PBUs, granted under the 2006 Plan generally vest equally on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. RSUs provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantee’s termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of service and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBUs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied. Shares of TWC common stock will generally be issued at the end of the vesting period of an RSU. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will generally be issued in connection with a director’s termination of service as a director. Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents or retained distributions related to regular cash dividends or distributions, respectively, paid by TWC. In the case of PBUs, the receipt of the dividend equivalents is subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. Retained distributions are subject to the vesting requirements of the underlying RSUs.
Stock Options
        For the three months ended March 31, 2011, TWC granted 2.194 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $18.93 per option, including 262,000 stock options subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBOs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $19.04 per PBO. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, TWC granted 3.795 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $10.94 per option. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2011, without taking into account expected forfeitures, is $78 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.90 years.
        Stock options, including PBOs, granted under the 2006 Plan have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of TWC common stock at the date of grant. Generally, stock options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance condition. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantee’s termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of service and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBOs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied.

8.   PENSION COSTS
        TWC sponsors qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of its employees (the “qualified pension plans”). TWC also provides a nonqualified noncontributory 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 the pension plans. A summary of the components of net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in millions):
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2011   2010

Net periodic benefit costs
    $ 29       $ 33  
 
       
        After considering the funded status of the pension plans, movements in the discount rate, investment performance and related tax consequences, the Company may choose to make contributions to the pension plans. As of March 31, 2011, there were no minimum required contributions for the qualified pension plans. The Company did not make any contributions to the qualified pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2011 but may make discretionary cash contributions to the pension plans during 2011.

9.   RESTRUCTURING COSTS
        Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, the Company began a restructuring to improve operating efficiency, primarily related to headcount reductions and other exit costs. Through March 31, 2011, the Company incurred costs of $139 million and made payments of $123 million related to this restructuring. Through December 31, 2010, the Company eliminated approximately 2,200 positions and eliminated approximately 135 additional positions during the first quarter of 2011. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs during 2011. Information relating to this restructuring is as follows (in millions):

(c)   Of the remaining liability as of March 31, 2011, $14 million is classified as a current liability, with the remaining amount classified as a noncurrent liability in the consolidated balance sheet. Amounts are expected to be paid through 2014.
10.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
        On April 7, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Viacom International Inc. and several of its subsidiaries (“Viacom”). The complaint asked the court to render a declaratory judgment that certain programming agreements between the Company and Viacom allow the Company to provide video programming services to its customers over its cable systems through devices of the customers’ choosing, including through the Company’s iPad® application and Smart TVs. The complaint further asks the court to declare that by providing video programming services to its customers in this fashion, the Company is not infringing Viacom copyrights. The same day, Viacom filed its own complaint against the Company in the same court, alleging copyright and trademark infringement and breach of contract, and asking for a declaratory judgment that the programming agreements between the Company and Viacom do not allow the Company to distribute Viacom programming “via broadband.” The Company intends to prosecute its lawsuit, and defend against Viacom’s, vigorously. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of Viacom’s 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 United States. These actions are subject to a Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) Order transferring the cases for pre-trial purposes 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 converters 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. Plaintiffs have until May 13, 2011 to seek the court’s permission to file a new amended complaint. If the plaintiffs file a new amended complaint, the Company will defend against this lawsuit vigorously.

        On November 14, 2008, the plaintiffs in Mark Swinegar, et al. v. Time Warner Cable Inc., filed a second amended complaint in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, as a purported class action, alleging that the Company provided to and charged plaintiffs for equipment that they had not affirmatively requested in violation of the proscription in the Cable Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the “Cable Act”) against “negative option billing” and that such violation was an unlawful act or practice under California’s Unfair Competition Law (the “UCL”). Plaintiffs are seeking restitution under the UCL and attorneys’ fees. On February 23, 2009, the court denied TWC’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, and on July 29, 2010, the court denied the Company’s motion for summary judgment. On October 7, 2010, the Company filed a petition for a declaratory ruling with the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) requesting that the FCC determine whether the Company’s general ordering process complies with the Cable Act’s “negative option billing” restriction. On March 1, 2011, the FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling that informed consent is adequate to satisfy the requirements under the Cable Act. On March 29, 2011, the Los Angeles County Superior Court vacated its prior summary judgment ruling, and the court will again consider TWC’s motion for summary judgment. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
        On September 20, 2007, Brantley, et al. v. NBC Universal, Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company. The complaint, which also named as defendants several other cable and satellite providers (collectively, the “distributor defendants”) as well as programming content providers (collectively, the “programmer defendants”), alleged violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Among other things, the complaint alleged coordination between and among the programmer defendants to sell and/or license programming on a “bundled” basis to the distributor defendants, who in turn purportedly offer that programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather than on a per channel (or “à la carte”) basis. Plaintiffs, who seek to represent a purported nationwide class of cable and satellite subscribers, are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to compel the offering of channels to subscribers on an “à la carte” basis. On December 3, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in this action that, among other things, dropped the Section 2 claims and all allegations of horizontal coordination. On October 15, 2009, the district court granted with prejudice a motion by the distributor defendants and the programmer defendants to dismiss the plaintiffs’ third amended complaint, terminating the action. On April 19, 2010, plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth 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 also a defendant in two other purported class actions. On September 17, 2009, the plaintiffs in Jessica Fink and Brett Noia, et al. v. Time Warner Cable Inc., filed an amended complaint in a purported class action in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the Company uses a throttling technique which intentionally delays and/or blocks a user’s high-speed data service. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. On September 25, 2009, TWC moved for summary judgment in this action, which is pending. On January 27, 2011, the plaintiffs in Calzada, et al. v. Time Warner Cable LLC, filed a purported class action in the Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging that the Company recorded phone calls with plaintiffs without notice in violation of provisions of the California Penal Code and the California Unfair Business Practices Act. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages, injunctive relief, restitution and attorneys’ fees. On April 2, 2011, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint in this action that, among other things, omitted the unfair business practices claim and removed two of the three named plaintiffs. In each lawsuit, the Company intends to defend against the lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

Certain Patent Litigation
        On September 1, 2006, Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (“Katz”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that TWC and several other cable operators, among other defendants, infringe 18 patents purportedly relating to the Company’s customer call center operations and/or voicemail services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a MDL Order transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. In April 2008, TWC and other defendants filed “common” motions for summary judgment, which argued, among other things, that a number of claims in the patents at issue are invalid under Sections 112 and 103 of the Patent Act. On June 19 and August 4, 2008, the court issued orders granting, in part, and denying, in part, those motions. Defendants filed additional individual motions for summary judgment in August 2008, which argued, among other things, that defendants’ respective products do not infringe the surviving claims in plaintiff’s patents. On August 13, 2009, the district court found one additional patent invalid, but denied defendants’ motions for summary judgment on three remaining patents, and on October 27, 2009, the district court denied the defendants’ requests for reconsideration of the decision. Based on motions for summary judgment brought by other defendants, the district court found, in decisions on January 29, 2010 and December 3, 2010, two of the three remaining patents invalid with respect to those defendants. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
        On June 1, 2006, Rembrandt Technologies, LP (“Rembrandt”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and a number of other cable operators infringed several patents purportedly related to a variety of technologies, including high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. In addition, on September 13, 2006, Rembrandt filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company infringed several patents purportedly related to “high-speed cable modem internet products and services.” On June 18, 2007, these cases, along with other lawsuits filed by Rembrandt, were made subject to an MDL Order transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. In November 2008, the district court issued its claims construction orders. In response to these orders, the plaintiff has indicated it will dismiss its claims relating to the alleged infringement of eight patents purportedly relating to high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. Summary judgment motions are pending relating to Rembrandt’s one remaining claim. The Company intends to defend against the remaining claim 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 claiming that it infringes their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require TWC to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question. In addition, certain agreements entered may require the Company to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the 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.
        As part of the restructuring of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”) in 2003, 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.
        The costs and other effects of future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in pending matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

12.    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        TWE and TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (“TW NY” and, together with TWE, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) are subsidiaries of Time Warner Cable Inc. (the “Parent Company”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, directly or indirectly, guaranteed the debt issued by the Parent Company in its 2007 registered exchange offer and its 2008, 2009, and 2010 public offerings. The Parent Company owns all of the voting interests, directly or indirectly, of both TWE and TW NY.
        The Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules require that condensed consolidating financial information be provided for subsidiaries that have guaranteed debt of a registrant issued in a public offering, where each such guarantee is full and unconditional and where the voting interests of the subsidiaries are wholly owned by the registrant. Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of (i) the Parent Company, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis (as such guarantees are joint and several), (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Cable Inc. on a consolidated basis.
        There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company’s ability to obtain funds from any of its subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
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 Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (iii) the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.”
        The accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets, have been allocated to the applicable subsidiaries. Certain administrative costs incurred by the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are allocated to the various entities based on each subsidiary’s contribution to revenues. Interest expense incurred by the Parent Company is allocated to certain subsidiaries based on each subsidiary’s contribution to revenues. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, income tax provision has been presented based on each subsidiary’s legal entity basis. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been presented based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
        On April 7, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Viacom International Inc. and several of its subsidiaries (“Viacom”). The complaint asked the court to render a declaratory judgment that certain programming agreements between the Company and Viacom allow the Company to provide video programming services to its customers over its cable systems through devices of the customers’ choosing, including through the Company’s iPad® application and Smart TVs. The complaint further asks the court to declare that by providing video programming services to its customers in this fashion, the Company is not infringing Viacom copyrights. The same day, Viacom filed its own complaint against the Company in the same court, alleging copyright and trademark infringement and breach of contract, and asking for a declaratory judgment that the programming agreements between the Company and Viacom do not allow the Company to distribute Viacom programming “via broadband.” The Company intends to prosecute its lawsuit, and defend against Viacom’s, vigorously. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of Viacom’s lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
        Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Mark Swinegar, et al. described on page 28 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”). On March 1, 2011, the FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling that informed consent is adequate to satisfy the requirements under the Cable Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. On March 29, 2011, the Los Angeles County Superior Court vacated its prior summary judgment ruling, and the court will again consider TWC’s motion for summary judgment. 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.
        Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Calzada, et al. described on pages 28-29 of the 2010 Form 10-K. On April 2, 2011, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint with the Los Angeles County Superior Court that, among other things, omitted the unfair business practices claim and removed two of the three named plaintiffs. 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.
        Reference is made to the In re: Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation described on page 28 of the 2010 Form 10-K. On April 8, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the Third Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs have until May 13, 2011 to seek the Court’s permission to file a new amended complaint. If the plaintiffs file a new amended complaint, the Company will defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
        There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2010 Form 10-K.
