"While our broadband customer results didn't meet our expectations in the quarter, we are encouraged that residential data revenue increased modestly compared to the first quarter and that we continued to see residential broadband customer connects increase sequentially month-over-month during the first half of the year," said Julie Laulis, Cable One President and CEO. "We believe our drive toward simplified pricing, segmented marketing campaigns and value-enhancing product and service offerings is laying the groundwork for stronger customer response and improved operating performance over time."

Second Quarter 2025 Summary:

Total revenues were $381.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $394.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, with $9.0 million of the decrease attributable to a decline in residential video revenues as the Company continues to navigate the final phases of its video product lifecycle.
Residential data revenues were $229.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $230.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 0.5%, year-over-year. On a sequential quarterly basis, residential data revenues increased $4.2 million, or 1.9%.
Business data revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $57.4 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 1.2%, year-over-year, with the carrier and enterprise fiber portions of the business continuing to experience growth.

Net profit margin was (114.9)% and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 53.3% in the second quarter of 2025.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $144.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $155.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, with the decrease primarily attributable to a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures was $134.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $140.8 million in the second quarter of 2024.
The Company repaid or retired $70.8 million of debt during the second quarter of 2025, consisting of $45.0 million of revolving credit facility ("Revolver") paydowns, $16.9 million of senior notes principal retirements, $4.4 million of term loan principal prepayments and $4.5 million of recurring amortization, bringing total net debt paydowns since March 31, 2023 to $342.1 million.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Compared to Second Quarter 2024

Revenues were $381.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $394.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Residential data revenues decreased $1.1 million, or 0.5%, year-over-year due primarily to a decrease in subscribers, partially offset by a 2.4% increase in average revenue per unit ("ARPU"). Residential video revenues decreased $9.0 million, or 15.8%, year-over-year due primarily to a decrease in residential video subscribers, partially offset by a rate adjustment enacted in the first quarter of 2025. Business data revenues increased $0.7 million, or 1.2%, year-over-year driven by continued growth in the carrier and enterprise fiber portions of the business.

Net loss was $438.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $38.2 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease was due primarily to non-cash asset impairment charges totaling $456.2 million, net of tax. Net profit margin was (114.9)% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 9.7% in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $203.2 million and $212.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 53.3% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 53.8% in the prior year quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $144.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $155.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $68.4 million compared to $71.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2025 was $134.8 million compared to $140.8 million in the prior year quarter.

Asset Impairments

Triggered by a decline in the Company's stock price during the second quarter, the Company performed an interim intangible asset and goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30, 2025. As a result, the Company recognized asset impairments totaling $586.0 million, consisting of $497.2 million and $88.8 million of non-cash impairments relating to its indefinite-lived franchise agreements and goodwill, respectively. The impairment charges do not have an impact on the Company's cash flows, operational strategy, growth initiatives or its intent or ability to renew or extend existing franchise agreements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2025, the Company had $152.9 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand compared to $153.6 million at December 31, 2024. The Company's debt balance was $3.50 billion and $3.62 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company had $228.0 million of borrowings and $1.02 billion of committed excess liquidity under the Revolver as of June 30, 2025.

The Company repaid or retired $70.8 million of debt during the second quarter of 2025, including $45.0 million under the Revolver, bringing total Revolver paydowns to $85.0 million during the first half of 2025. The Company also retired $16.9 million of the outstanding principal of senior notes and prepaid $4.4 million of the outstanding principal of term loan borrowings during the second quarter of 2025, recognizing a $3.9 million gain on debt extinguishments.

In July 2025, the Company repaid an additional $25.0 million under the Revolver.

Additional Information Available on Website

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025 (the "Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q"), which will be posted on the "SEC Filings" section of the Cable One Investor Relations website at ir.cableone.net when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Investors and others interested in more information about Cable One should consult the Company's website, which is regularly updated with financial and other important information about the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as superior to, or as a substitute for, net income (loss), net profit margin, net cash provided by operating activities or capital expenditures as a percentage of net income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are reconciled to net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA margin is reconciled to net profit margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to capital expenditures as a percentage of net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is also reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities. These reconciliations are included in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" tables within this press release.

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, severance and contract termination costs, acquisition-related costs, net (gain) loss on asset sales and disposals, system conversion costs, rebranding costs, net equity method investment (income) loss, asset impairments, executive search costs, net other (income) expense and any special items, as applicable, as provided in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" tables within this press release. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company's business as well as other non-cash or special items and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. This measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the Company's cash cost of debt financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

"Adjusted EBITDA margin" is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

"Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures," when used as a liquidity measure, is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the impact of capital expenditures, net interest expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, income tax provision (benefit), changes in operating assets and liabilities, change in deferred income taxes and any special items, as applicable, as provided in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" tables within this press release.

"Capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as capital expenditures divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to assess its performance, and it also uses Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures as an indicator of its ability to fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the measure used in the leverage ratio calculations under the Company's credit agreement and the indenture governing the Company's non-convertible senior unsecured notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the credit agreement and the ability to take certain actions under the indenture governing the non-convertible senior unsecured notes. Adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are also significant performance measures that have been used by the Company in its incentive compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account cash used for mandatory debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures, and thus does not represent residual funds available for discretionary uses.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is useful to investors as it shows the Company's performance while taking into account cash outflows for capital expenditures and is one of several indicators of the Company's ability to service debt, make investments and/or return capital to its stockholders.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures with similar titles are common measures used by investors, analysts and peers to compare performance in the Company's industry, although the Company's measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
