to $1.43 (see Table 4).

the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Cable Communications’ capital expenditures increased $253 million,
or 20.4%, to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2014, primarily
reflecting increased spending on customer premise equipment related
to the deployment of the X1 platform and Cloud DVR, as well as our
investment in network infrastructure to increase network capacity.

the second quarter of 2014 compared to 11.9% in last year’s second
quarter. NBCUniversal’s capital expenditures increased $38 million,

months of 2014.
Free Cash Flow decreased 40.7% to $1.2 billion in the
second quarter of 2014 compared to $1.9 billion in the second
quarter of 2013, reflecting increased working capital, mainly
driven by higher film and TV production spend, as well as increased
capital expenditures and cash taxes on operating items, partially
offset by growth in consolidated operating cash flow. Free cash
flow for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased 21.8% to $4.0
billion compared to $5.1 billion in 2013.

Revenue for Cable Communications increased 5.4% to $11.0
billion in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $10.5 billion in
the second quarter of 2013, driven by increases of 9.7% in
high-speed Internet and 22.4% in business services. The increase in
Cable revenue reflects rate adjustments, customers receiving higher
levels of services and customer growth (see below).
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Cable revenue increased
5.3% to $21.8 billion compared to $20.7 billion in 2013.
Customer relationships decreased by 25,000 to 26.8
million during the second quarter of 2014, a 62% improvement
compared to a decline of 66,000 during the second quarter of 2013.
At the end of the second quarter, penetration of our triple product
customers increased to 36% compared to 34% in the second quarter of
2013. High-speed Internet customer net additions improved versus
last year and were the strongest for a second quarter in six years.
Video customer net losses improved year-over-year and were also the
best result for a second quarter in six years.

billion in the second quarter of 2013, reflecting higher revenue,
partially offset by a 5.4% increase in operating expenses primarily
related to higher video programming costs. This quarter’s operating
cash flow margin was 41.4%, consistent with the prior year
period.

$1,434 20.4 % $2,144 $2,745
28.0 %
Revenue for NBCUniversal increased 0.3% to $6.0 billion
in the second quarter of 2014 compared to last year’s second
quarter as revenue growth in Broadcast Television, Theme Parks and
Cable Networks was mostly offset by lower theatrical revenue in the
Filmed Entertainment segment. Operating Cash Flow increased
20.4% to $1.4 billion compared to $1.2 billion in the second
quarter of 2013, with improvement across all segments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, NBCUniversal revenue
increased 13.7% to $12.9 billion compared to $11.3 billion in 2013.
Excluding $1.1 billion of revenue generated by the Sochi Olympics
in the first quarter of 2014, NBCUniversal revenue increased 4.0%
(see Table 5). Operating cash flow increased 28.0% to $2.7 billion
compared to $2.1 billion in the first six months of 2013.
Cable Networks
For the second quarter of 2014, revenue from the Cable Networks
segment increased 2.6% to $2.5 billion compared to $2.4 billion in
the second quarter of 2013, reflecting a 4.2% increase in
distribution revenue and a 14.3% increase in content licensing and
other revenue, partially offset by a 2.2% decline in advertising
revenue. Operating cash flow increased 6.3% to $914 million
compared to $860 million in the second quarter of 2013, reflecting
higher revenue and moderate expense growth, with continued
investment in programming.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue from the Cable
Networks segment increased 7.4% to $5.0 billion compared to $4.6
billion in 2013. Excluding $257 million of revenue generated by the
Sochi Olympics in the first quarter of 2014, revenue increased
1.9%. Operating cash flow increased 5.3% to $1.8 billion compared
to $1.7 billion in the first six months of 2013.
Broadcast Television
For the second quarter of 2014, revenue from the Broadcast
Television segment increased 4.9% to $1.8 billion compared to $1.7
billion in the second quarter of 2013, driven by higher
retransmission consent fees, as well as content licensing
agreements, partially offset by a 1.7% decrease in advertising
revenue due to fewer hours of The Voice compared to the same period
a year ago. Operating cash flow increased 16.2% to $240 million
compared to $206 million in the second quarter of 2013, reflecting
higher revenue and a slight increase in operating costs and
expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue from the
Broadcast Television segment increased 36.6% to $4.4 billion
compared to $3.2 billion in 2013. Excluding $846 million of revenue
generated by the Sochi Olympics in the first quarter of 2014,
revenue increased 10.5% (see Table 5). Operating cash flow
increased $191 million to $362 million compared to $171 million in
the first six months of 2013.
Filmed Entertainment
For the second quarter of 2014, revenue from the Filmed
Entertainment segment decreased 15.3% to $1.2 billion compared to
$1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2013, reflecting lower
theatrical revenue from fewer releases in the second quarter
compared to the same period last year, partially offset by higher
content licensing revenue, as well as higher home entertainment
revenue from the strong performances of Ride Along and Lone
Survivor. Operating cash flow increased $162 million to $195
million compared to $33 million in the second quarter of 2013,
reflecting a decrease in the amortization of film costs and reduced
advertising, marketing and promotion expense due to a smaller film
slate.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue from the Filmed
Entertainment segment decreased 3.0% to $2.5 billion compared to
$2.6 billion in 2013. Operating cash flow increased $381 million to
$483 million compared to $102 million in the first six months of
2013.
Theme Parks
For the second quarter of 2014, revenue from the Theme Parks
segment increased 12.8% to $615 million compared to $546 million in
the second quarter of 2013, driven by higher guest attendance and
per capita spending at the Orlando and Hollywood theme parks, which
benefitted, in part, from the timing of Spring holidays. Second
quarter operating cash flow increased 5.6% to $244 million compared
to $231 million in the same period last year, reflecting higher
revenue, offset in part by additional costs related to marketing
and training to support the opening of Orlando’s The Wizarding
World of Harry PotterTM – Diagon AlleyTM, which officially opened
on July 8th.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue from the Theme
Parks segment increased 9.4% to $1.1 billion compared to $1.0
billion in 2013. Operating cash flow increased 2.5% to $414 million
compared to $404 million in the first six months of 2013.
Headquarters, Other and Eliminations
NBCUniversal Headquarters, Other and Eliminations include
overhead and eliminations among the NBCUniversal businesses. For
the quarter ended June 30, 2014, NBCUniversal Headquarters, Other
and Eliminations operating cash flow loss was $159 million compared
to a loss of $139 million in the second quarter of 2013, reflecting
higher employee costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, NBCUniversal
Headquarters, Other and Eliminations operating cash flow loss was
$323 million compared to a loss of $252 million in 2013.
Corporate, Other and Eliminations
Corporate, Other and Eliminations primarily include corporate
operations, Comcast-Spectacor and eliminations among Comcast's
businesses. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, Corporate, Other
and Eliminations revenue was ($201) million compared to ($192)
million in 2013. The operating cash flow loss was $194 million,
including $44 million of costs related to the Time Warner Cable and
Charter transactions, compared to a loss of $101 million in the
second quarter of 2013.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Corporate, Other and
Eliminations revenue was ($426) million compared to ($439) million
in 2013. The operating cash flow loss was $367 million, including
$61 million of transaction-related costs, compared to a loss of
$239 million in the first six months of 2013.
Notes:
1 We define Operating Cash Flow as operating income (loss)
before depreciation and amortization, excluding impairment charges
related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the
sale of assets, if any. 2 Earnings per share amounts are
presented on a diluted basis. 3
We define Free Cash Flow as Net Cash
Provided by Operating Activities (as stated in our Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures, cash paid
for intangible assets and cash distributions to noncontrolling
interests; and adjusted for any payments and receipts related to
certain nonoperating items, net of estimated tax effects. The
definition of Free Cash Flow excludes any impact from Economic
Stimulus packages. These amounts have been excluded from Free Cash
Flow to provide an appropriate comparison.
4 Beginning in 2014, our Cable Communications segment
revised its methodology for counting customers related to how we
count and report customers who reside in multiple dwelling units
(“MDUs”) that are billed under bulk contracts (the “Billable
Customers Method”). For MDUs whose residents have the ability to
receive additional cable services, such as additional programming
choices or our HD or DVR services, we now count and report
customers based on the number of potential billable relationships
within each MDU. For MDUs whose residents are not able to receive
additional cable services, the MDU is now counted as a single
customer. Previously, we had counted and reported these customers
on an equivalent billing unit basis by dividing monthly revenue
received under an MDU’s bulk contract by the standard monthly
residential rate where the MDU was located (the “EBU Method”).
Video customer metrics for 2013 are now presented on the Billable
Customers Method to provide an appropriate comparison. For
high-speed Internet and voice customers, the differences in the
customer metrics using the Billable Customers Method and the EBU
Method were not material and 2013 data has not been adjusted.
All percentages are calculated on whole
numbers. Minor differences may exist due to rounding.
