Charter reported a largely resilient Q2 2024, with revenue of $13.685 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $5.513 billion, up 2.6% year over year and delivering a margin of about 40.3%. Net income was $1.231 billion, with diluted EPS of $8.49 and weighted-average shares around 143.3 million. Free cash flow reached $1.3 billion, supported by higher EBITDA, favorable working capital movements and lower cash taxes. Management framed the quarter as a transitional period driven by the expiration of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which produced approximately 149,000 internet customer losses and about a $30 million one-time revenue headwind. Despite ACP headwinds, Charter reaffirmed its strategy of investing behind a converged, high-capacity network (gigabit everywhere, symmetrical multi-gig upgrades) and a differentiated product suite spanning internet, mobile, video, and wholesale. The company highlighted notable mobile profitability milestones, new value-added service offerings (Anytime Upgrade, phone balance buyout, repair/replacement plan) and a significant push into hybrid DTC video to support customer acquisition and retention, including partnerships with Paramount, Disney, ViX, and Hulu. In the back half of 2024, Charter expects EBITDA growth acceleration aided by ongoing expense management, Spectrum 1 program roll-off, and favorable political advertising revenue, while maintaining capital discipline: capex guidance is now about $12 billion for 2024, with line-extension spend around $4.5 billion and network evolution spend around $1.6 billion. The company reiterated its leverage target (4.0x–4.5x) and its strategy to maintain a split-rated debt structure to access diverse funding sources. Overall, Charter’s proprietary converged network and broad DTC video ambitions position it to drive long-term value, but ACP wind-down and elevated debt levels remain key near-term headwinds.
