Technical Challenges of 5G
Short Term
- Deployment slow even inhigh-density areas, leading to large gaps in coverage
- A few city trial headlines…
- "Verizon's 5G Network is Here - If You Can Get a Signal"
- "Verizon's 5G Network is Blazing Fast, but it Barely Exists"
- Rollouts in NFL stadiums have also been challenged
- 5G will "be concentrated in parts of the seating areas"
Long Term
- Millimeter propagation issues
- Easily blocked by buildings, trees, cars, etc.
- Extensive small cell deployment required to get closer to consumer devices
- Increasing number of devices, higher capacity per device and potential new use cases will place more and more pressure on wireless infrastructure
PC Mag: "Speedy, But Watch Out for That Tree"
In Chicago, one step to the right and 5G signal is lost
7
Will the Returns Justify The Investment?
5G Requires A Lot of Spend
- Cost estimates at $275 billion over the next 7 years, in the U.S. alone
- Spectrum auctions
- Fiber
- Physical hardware (and technicians)
- Testing and retesting
How Will Wireless Carriers Monetize It?
- In recent history of wireless, more usage has not necessarily translated into more revenue
- Fixed wireless broadband overbuilds target high density areas which are already adequately served
- Idealistic applications (remote surgery) don't necessarily demand mobility and are better served by wired connections

Cable Companies Can Benefit From 5G Rollout
It's not all bad news… 5G will improve the wireless experience and enable new use cases
- Faster speeds
- Greater capacity
- Lower latency
… But cable will continue to be a part of the story
- Cable network has infrastructure to provide backhaul, power new radios required by 5G
- Equipped to grow own wireless businesses
- Able to expandWi-Fi networks in the home, business and public hot-spots
- DOCSIS 3.1 will still have speed advantage over 5G

Appendix
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics & Additional Information
We use certain measures that are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of our business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are reconciled to net income attributable to Charter shareholders and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the appendix of this presentation.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Charter shareholders plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on financial instruments, net, other pension (benefits) costs, other (income) expense, net and other operating (income) expenses, such as special charges and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by our capital structure or investment activities. However, 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 our cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.
Management and Charter's board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under our credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, we use Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by our operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. Our debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees, which were $317 million and $916 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $278 million and $816 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Cable Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less mobile revenues plus mobile operating costs and expenses. Cable free cash flow is defined as free cash flow plus mobile net cash outflows from operating activities and mobile capital expenditures. Management and Charter's board of directors use cable Adjusted EBITDA and cable free cash flow to provide management and investors a more meaningful year over year perspective on the financial and operational performance and trends of our core cable business without the impact of the revenue, costs and capital expenditures in the initial funding period to grow a new product line as well as the negative working capital impacts from the timing of device-related cash flows when we provide the handset or tablet to customers pursuant to equipment installment plans.
For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, cable Adjusted EBITDA, mobile Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and cable free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see slides 12, 13 and 14.
Customer relationships include the number of customers that receive one or more levels of service, encompassing video, Internet and voice services, without regard to which service(s) such customers receive. Customers who reside in residential multiple dwelling units ("MDUs") and that are billed under bulk contracts are counted based on the number of billed units within each bulk MDU. Total customer relationships exclude enterprise customer relationships and mobile-only customer relationships.

Forward Looking Statements
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements herein are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and are based on the Company's current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, many of which are beyond the Company's control. As a consequence, current plans, anticipated actions and future financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements in the presentation. You should consider the risks in the Company's periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including those described under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements". You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented herein and we do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes unaudited non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, and the ratios based on these financial measures. We present non-GAAP measures herein because our management believes that such information provides useful information about our operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. See the Appendix for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.
Industry Data
This presentation also contains industry data, forecasts and other information that we obtained from industry publications and surveys, public filings and internal company sources. Statements as to our ranking, market position and market estimates are based on independent industry publications, government publications, third-party forecasts and management's estimates and assumptions about our markets and our internal research. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding our market, industry or similar data presented herein, such data involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors.
