Executive Summary

Charter Communications reported solid profitability in QQ3 2025 despite modest top-line pressure. Revenue totaled $13.553 billion, delivering a gross profit of $6.163 billion and an EBITDA of $5.291 billion, yielding an EBITDA margin of roughly 39.0% and an operating margin of ~23.1%. Net income was $1.316 billion, translating to EPS of $9.83. Year-over-year revenue declined 1.75% and quarter-over-quarter revenue fell 1.55%, while gross profit grew 10.5% YoY but declined 3.6% QoQ, signaling ongoing mix and cost dynamics within a disciplined cost base. The company continues to generate robust free cash flow (FCF) per share of $10.68 and operating cash flow per share of $33.49, underscoring the cash-generation strength of Charter’s asset base even as leverage remains elevated. Management commentary (where available) emphasizes network investments and continued commitment to service quality, with cash flow metrics positioned to support deleveraging over time. Liquidity metrics remain tight (current ratio 0.375; cash ratio 0.036) given a debt-heavy balance sheet (debt/capitalization ~0.861; interest coverage ~2.47), highlighting a balance between growth investments and financial risk. Investors should weigh Charter’s ability to sustain cash flow against the need to reduce leverage and navigate a competitive, regulatory, and ad-supported media landscape. Overall, Charter’s QQ3 2025 results reinforce a model of margin discipline and cash generation, but the path to optionality (dividend resumption, deleveraging) depends on continued FCF strength and disciplined capital allocation.
