The Sky platform also incorporates Wi-Fi connectivity for in-home distribution enabling wires-free multi-room consumption, and Sky has alsodeveloped a range of back-end and client software applications that provide customers with access to its content across multiple third-party devices and OnDemand in and out of the home. Sky’s OTT video service is delivered via the internet.Sky relies on various telecommunications providers to deliver its video, high-speed internet, voice and wireless phone services to its customers. For example,Sky relies on satellites leased from third parties to provide most of its video services. In addition, pursuant to the current regulatory regime in the U.K. andItaly, Sky is able to access networks owned by third-party telecommunication providers for a fee to provide its high-speed internet and phone services in mostcases, on regulated terms.To offer video services, in addition to its owned channels, Sky licenses programming from third-party programming providers that operate televisionchannels. Sky attempts to secure long-term programming distribution agreements with these programming providers. The fees associated with theseprogramming distribution agreements are generally based on the number of customers who are able to watch the programming and the platforms on whichSky provides the content. Sky seeks to include in its distributionComcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K9 Table of Contentsagreements the rights to offer such programming through multiple delivery platforms, such as through its On Demand services, online portal, mobile apps andstreaming services.Customer and Technical ServicesSky’s customer service operations are increasingly a digital first offering.

Thewireless phone service is offered only as part of Comcast Cable’s bundled service offerings to residential customers that subscribe to its high-speed internetservice within its cable distribution footprint and may in the future also be offered to our small business customers on similar terms. The wireless phoneservice has success-based working capital requirements, primarily associated with the procurement of handsets, which customers are able to pay for upfront orfinance interest-free over 24 months, and other equipment.Our other business interests consist primarily of the operations of Comcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania.CompetitionAll of our businesses operate in intensely competitive, consumer-driven and rapidly changing environments and compete with a growing number ofcompanies that provide a broad range of communications products and services, and entertainment, news and information products and services toconsumers. Technological changes are further intensifying and complicating the competitive landscape and challenging existing business models. Inparticular, consumers are increasingly turning to online sources for viewing and purchasing content, which has and likely will continue to reduce the numberof our video customers and subscribers to our cable networks even as it makes our high-speed internet services more valuable to consumers. In addition, theincreasing number of entertainment choices available has intensified audience fragmentation, which has and likely will continue to adversely affect theaudience ratings of our cable networks and broadcast television programming.Cable Communications SegmentHigh-Speed Internet ServicesCable Communications competes with a number of companies offering internet services, including:•wireline phone companies and other providers of wireline internet service•wireless phone companies and other providers of wireless internet service•municipal broadband networks and power companies•satellite broadband providersPhone companies such as AT&T, CenturyLink, Frontier and Verizon have built and are continuing to build fiber-based network infrastructure farther intotheir networks, which allows them to provide data transmission speeds that exceed those that can be provided with traditional DSL technology, and areoffering these higher-speed services in many of our service areas. Certain companies that offer DSL service have increased data transmission speeds, loweredprices or created bundled services to compete with our high-speed internet services.Certain other companies have launched FTTH networks that provide high-speed internet services in a limited number of areas in which we operate, andcertain municipalities in our service areas are also building fiber-based networks.Various wireless companies are offering internet services using a variety of network types, including 3G and 4G, and recently 5G, wireless broadband servicesand Wi-Fi networks. These networks work with devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets and mobile wireless routers, as well as wireless data cards. Agrowing number of commercial venues, such as retail malls, restaurants 10Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentsand airports, also offer Wi-Fi service. Numerous local governments are also considering or actively pursuing publicly subsidized Wi-Fi and other internetaccess networks. The availability of these wireless offerings could negatively impact the demand for our high-speed internet services.Video ServicesCable Communications competes with a number of different sources in the United States that provide news, sports, information and entertainmentprogramming to consumers, including:•DBS providers, including AT&T’s DIRECTV and DISH Network, that transmit satellite signals to substantially all U.S. households to provide videoprogramming and other information similar to our video services•phone companies, including AT&T and Verizon, that have built and continue to build fiber-based networks that provide cable services similar toours, which overlap a substantial portion of our service areas, and that in some cases offer bundled offerings that include wireless phone services•online video distributors including:◦virtual multichannel video providers who offer streaming services for linear programming that generally involve smaller packages ofprogramming networks at prices lower than our traditional video service package offerings◦subscription video on demand services, such as those offered by Amazon, Hulu and Netflix, that offer online services and devices thatenable internet streaming and downloading of movies, television shows and other video programming◦premium, cable and broadcast networks that provide content directly to consumers•other providers that build and operate wireline communications systems in the same communities that we serve, including those operating asfranchised cable operators•satellite master antenna television systems that offer to their subscribers both improved reception of local broadcast television stations and much ofthe programming offered by our cable systems and generally serve MDUs, office complexes and residential developments•other companies, such as local broadcast television stations, that provide multiple channels of free over-the-air programming, as well as video rentalservices and home entertainment and gaming productsMany of these competitors also have significant financial resources and have further intensified competition through mergers and acquisitions.Voice ServicesCable Communications’ voice services compete with wireline and wireless phone companies, including incumbent local exchange carriers (“ILECs”) andcompetitive local exchange carriers (“CLECs”), and other internet-based and VoIP service providers. Certain phone companies, such as the ILECs AT&T andVerizon, have longstanding customer relationships, and extensive existing facilities and network rights-of-way. A few CLECs also have existing localnetworks and significant financial resources. In addition, we are increasingly competing with other phone service providers as customers replace traditionalwireline phone services with wireless and internet-based phone services, such as Skype.Business ServicesCable Communications’ business services primarily compete with a variety of phone companies, including ILECs and CLECs and WAN Managed ServiceProviders. These companies either operate their own network infrastructure or use all or part of another carrier’s network. It also competes with satelliteoperators who offer video services to businesses and VoIP companies that target businesses of all sizes. Our video monitoring services compete withcompanies that provide video surveillance services that use both traditional and cloud-based/digital solutions.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K11 Table of ContentsNBCUniversal SegmentsCable Networks and Broadcast TelevisionNBCUniversal’s cable networks, broadcast networks and owned local broadcast television stations compete for viewers’ attention and audience share with allforms of programming provided to viewers, including cable, broadcast and premium networks; subscription video on demand services; local broadcasttelevision stations; home entertainment products; pay-per-view and video on demand services; online activities, such as social networking and viewing user-generated content; gaming products; and other forms of entertainment, news and information.NBCUniversal’s cable networks, broadcast networks and owned local broadcast television stations compete for the acquisition of programming and for on-airand creative talent with other cable and broadcast networks, local television stations, and subscription video on demand services. The market forprogramming is very competitive, particularly for sports programming, where the cost for such programming is significant.NBCUniversal’s cable networks compete with other cable networks and programming providers for carriage of their programming by traditional and virtualmultichannel video providers and subscription video on demand services. Its broadcast networks compete with the other broadcast networks in marketsacross the United States to secure affiliations with independently owned television stations, which are necessary to ensure the effective distribution ofbroadcast network programming to a nationwide audience.In addition, NBCUniversal’s cable television and broadcast television studio production operations compete with other production companies and creatorsof content for the acquisition of story properties, for creative, performing and technical personnel, and for distribution of, and consumer interest in, theircontent.Filmed EntertainmentThe filmed entertainment business competes for audiences for its films and other entertainment content with other major studios and, to a lesser extent, withindependent film producers, as well as with alternative forms of entertainment. The competitive position of the filmed entertainment business primarilydepends on the number of films produced, their distribution and marketing success, and consumer response. The filmed entertainment business also competesto obtain creative, performing and technical talent, including writers, actors, directors and producers, as well as scripts for films. The filmed entertainmentbusiness also competes with the other major studios and other producers of entertainment content for the exhibition of its films in theaters and thedistribution of its films on premium networks and on subscription video on demand services.Theme ParksNBCUniversal’s theme parks business competes with other multi-park entertainment companies. It also competes with other providers of entertainment,lodging, tourism and recreational activities. To help maintain the competitiveness of our theme parks, we have invested and continue to invest in existingand new theme park attractions, hotels and infrastructure.Sky SegmentSky faces competition from a broad range of companies engaged in media, entertainment and communications services in Europe, including cable operators,providers of both paid-for and free-to-air programming, service providers making use of new fiber optic networks, other satellite television providers, digitalterrestrial television providers, telecommunications providers, other internet service providers, content aggregators, home entertainment products companies,companies developing new technologies and devices, and other suppliers and providers of news, information, sports and entertainment that deliver streamingand downloading online video services. Sky’s competitive position may be negatively impacted by an increase in the capacity of, or developments in, themeans of delivery which its competitors use to provide their services. Sky’s competitors also include organizations that are publicly funded, in whole or inpart, which fulfill a public service broadcasting mandate.Sky competes for the acquisition of programming content with a wide range of providers, particularly for sports programming, where the cost for suchprogramming is significant.AdvertisingThe cable communications business, cable networks, broadcast networks, owned local broadcast television stations and Sky compete for the sale ofadvertising with other television networks and stations, as well as with all other advertising platforms, such as digital, radio and print media. The willingnessof advertisers to purchase advertising from us may be adversely affected by lower audience ratings at NBCUniversal’s cable networks, broadcast networks andowned local broadcast television stations and Sky’s owned channels. Declines in audience ratings also can be caused by increased competition for the leisuretime of viewers and by 12Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentsaudience fragmentation resulting from the increasing number of entertainment choices available, including content from subscription video on demandservices and other digital sources. In addition, advertising revenue is adversely affected by the growing use of technologies, such as DVRs and video ondemand services, which give consumers greater flexibility to watch programming on a time-delayed or on-demand basis or to fast-forward or skipadvertisements within programming.Seasonality and CyclicalityEach of our businesses is subject to seasonal and cyclical variations. In our Cable Communications segment, our results are impacted by the seasonal natureof residential customers receiving our cable services in college and vacation markets. This generally results in fewer net customer relationship additions inthe second quarter of each year.Revenue in our Cable Communications, Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments is subject to cyclical advertising patterns and changes inviewership levels. Advertising revenue in the U.S. is generally higher in the second and fourth quarters of each year, due in part to increases in consumeradvertising in the spring and in the period leading up to and including the holiday season. Advertising revenue in the U.S. is also cyclical, with a benefit ineven-numbered years due to advertising related to candidates running for political office and issue-oriented advertising. Revenue in our Cable Networks andBroadcast Television segments fluctuates depending on the timing of when our programming is aired, which typically results in higher advertising revenuein the second and fourth quarters of each year.Our revenue and operating costs and expenses (comprised of total costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense and other operatinggains) are cyclical as a result of our periodic broadcasts of major sporting events, such as the Olympic Games, which affect our Cable Networks and BroadcastTelevision segments, and the Super Bowl, which affects our Broadcast Television segment. In particular, our advertising revenue increases due to increaseddemand for advertising time and our distribution revenue increases in the period of these broadcasts. Our operating costs and expenses also increase as aresult of our production costs for these broadcasts and the amortization of the related rights fees.Revenue in our Filmed Entertainment segment fluctuates due to the timing, nature and number of films released in movie theaters, on DVDs, and throughvarious other distribution platforms. Release dates are determined by several factors, including competition and the timing of vacation and holiday periods.As a result, revenue tends to be seasonal, with increases experienced each year during the summer months and around the holiday season. Content licensingrevenue in our Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments also fluctuates due to the timing of when our content is madeavailable to licensees.Revenue in our Theme Parks segment fluctuates with changes in theme park attendance that result from the seasonal nature of vacation travel and weathervariations, local entertainment offerings and the opening of new attractions, as well as with changes in currency exchange rates. Our theme parks generallyexperience peak attendance during the spring holiday period, the summer months when schools are closed and the holiday season.Our Sky segment results are impacted by the seasonal nature of residential customers receiving our DTH and OTT video services, including the start of thenew soccer seasons and the Christmas holiday. This generally results in greater net customer relationship additions and higher subscriber acquisition costs inthe fourth quarter of each year due to higher marketing expenses. Growth in Sky’s wireless phone business is also similarly impacted by seasonal trends, aswell as by the length of consumer cycles to upgrade their handsets.Exclusive tier one sports rights, such as domestic and UEFA Champions League soccer, Formula 1, and English cricket, play a key role within Sky’s widercontent strategy. In Europe broadcasting rights for tier one sports are usually tendered through a competitive auction process, with the winning bidder orbidders acquiring rights over a three to five-year period. This creates some level of cyclicality for Sky, although the staggered timing of tier one sports rightsauctions usually gives Sky time to react to any material changes in the competitive dynamics of the prevailing market.The results of Sky’s advertising business are subject to cyclical advertising patterns and changes in viewership levels. This includes seasonally higheraudience levels in winter months and increased competition during major sporting events where public service broadcasters lease the rights, such as theOlympic Games and the FIFA World CupTM. The results for Sky’s content business are also subject to fluctuations as a result of changes in timing, nature andquantity of original programming distributed to other markets.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K13 Table of ContentsLegislation and RegulationThe Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”), and FCC regulations and policies affect significant aspects of our businessesthat operate in the United States. These businesses are also subject to other regulation by federal, state and local authorities and to agreements we enter intowith local cable franchising authorities. In addition, our international businesses are subject to the laws and the jurisdiction of the foreign regulatoryauthorities where they operate.Legislators and regulators at all levels of government frequently consider changing, and sometimes do change, existing statutes, rules or regulations, orinterpretations of existing statutes, rules or regulations, or prescribe new ones, any of which may significantly affect our businesses. These legislators andregulators have been active in considering rulemakings and legislation, and they, along with some state attorneys general and foreign governmentalauthorities, have also been active in conducting inquiries and reviews, regarding our services. Any future legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrativeactions may increase our costs or impose additional restrictions on our businesses, some of which may be significant. The U.S. Congress may considerproposals to address communications issues, including whether it should rewrite the entire Communications Act to account for changes in thecommunications marketplace, whether it should enact new, permanent open internet requirements, and whether it should fund new broadband infrastructure.We are unable to predict the outcome or effects of any of these potential actions or any other legislative or regulatory proposals on our businesses.The following paragraphs summarize material existing and potential future legal and regulatory requirements affecting our businesses, although referenceshould be made to the Communications Act, FCC regulations and other legislation and regulations for further information.Cable Communications SegmentHigh-Speed Internet ServicesWe provide high-speed internet services to our customers. Many of these services are subject to a number of regulatory obligations described below. As aninternet service provider (“ISP”), we are also subject to a requirement to implement certain network capabilities to assist law enforcement in conductingsurveillance of persons suspected of criminal activity. From time to time, the FCC considers imposing new regulatory obligations on ISPs. New broadbandregulations, if adopted, may have adverse effects on our businesses.Open Internet RegulationsIn 2015, the FCC reclassified broadband internet access service as a “telecommunications service” subject to new open internet regulations and certaincommon carrier regulations under Title II of the Communications Act. These included, among other things, prohibiting ISPs from blocking access to lawfulcontent; impairing or degrading lawful internet traffic on the basis of content, applications or services (“throttling”); prioritizing certain internet traffic inexchange for consideration (“paid prioritization”); and generally prohibiting ISPs from unreasonably interfering with or unreasonably disadvantagingconsumers’ ability to access and use the lawful internet content, applications, services or devices of their choosing or edge providers’ ability to make lawfulcontent, applications, services or devices available to consumers (“general conduct”).In 2017, the FCC reversed its prior classification of broadband internet access service as a Title II telecommunication service and classified it as an“information service” under Title I. In addition, it eliminated its prior no-blocking, no-throttling, no paid-prioritization and general conduct rules, statingthat jurisdiction to regulate ISP conduct would rest at the FTC. In addition, it revised the transparency rule to require ISPs to disclose any blocking andthrottling practices, and any paid or affiliated prioritization practices associated with their broadband offerings. We have disclosed that we do not block,throttle, or engage in affiliated or paid prioritization, and have committed not to block, throttle, or discriminate against lawful content. The FTC has authorityto enforce these public commitments, and the FCC has authority to enforce compliance with its transparency rule. The Order also preempted any state andlocal laws and regulations that conflict with the FCC’s deregulatory policies.The FCC’s 2017 decision is currently on appeal in federal court. In addition, several states have passed or introduced legislation, or have adopted executiveorders, that impose Open Internet requirements in a variety of ways. Certain of these state initiatives have been challenged in court, and additional challengesmay be filed. Such attempts by the states to regulate have the potential to create a patchwork of differing and/or conflicting state regulations. Congress mayalso consider legislation addressing these regulations and the regulatory framework for broadband internet access services. We cannot predict whether or howthe rules might be changed, the impact of potential new legislation or the outcome of any litigation. 14Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsBroadband Deployment/Infrastructure InitiativesIn 2018, the FCC adopted rules aimed at removing barriers to the deployment of broadband infrastructure, including the preemption of certain state and locallaws or regulations that may unreasonably impede the deployment of wireless broadband networks. These orders are being challenged in federal court, andwe cannot predict the outcome of the litigation. If the orders are upheld, some of these reforms may create regulatory imbalances that favor wireless servicesover wireline broadband services like our own. The FCC is considering similar reforms for wireline networks, including our networks, as part of its ongoingefforts to promote broadband deployment. We cannot predict whether or how any FCC rules might be changed, how state or local laws or regulations may beimpacted, or how such changes may affect our business. In addition, as part of any federal infrastructure program, governmental subsidies or funding ofadditional internet broadband networks may be encouraged. We cannot predict how successful those efforts will be and how they might affect our business.Municipally Owned Broadband NetworksA number of local municipalities operate municipally owned broadband networks and there may be further efforts by local governments to expand or creategovernment-owned networks. Certain states have enacted laws that restrict or prohibit local municipalities from operating municipally owned broadbandnetworks, and there may be efforts in other state legislatures to restrict the development of government-owned networks, although some may choose to easeor facilitate such networks. We cannot predict how successful those efforts will be and how they might affect our business.Video ServicesProgram CarriageFCC regulations prohibit us from unreasonably restraining the ability of an unaffiliated video programming network to compete fairly by discriminatingagainst the network on the basis of its non-affiliation in the selection, terms or conditions for its carriage. In addition, Cable operators and other multichannelvideo programming distributors (“MVPDs”) in the United States are prohibited from requiring as a condition of carriage a financial interest in, or exclusivedistribution rights for, a video programming network. We have been involved in program carriage disputes at the FCC and may be subject to new complaintsin the future.Must-Carry/Retransmission ConsentCable operators are required to carry, without compensation, programming transmitted by most local commercial and noncommercial broadcast televisionstations. As an alternative to this “must-carry” requirement, local broadcast television stations may choose to negotiate with the cable operator for“retransmission consent,” under which the station gives up its must-carry rights and instead seeks to negotiate a carriage agreement with the cable operator,which frequently will involve payments to the station. We currently pay certain local broadcast television stations in exchange for their required consent forthe retransmission of the stations’ broadcast programming to our video services customers and expect to continue to be subject to demands for increasedpayments and other concessions from local broadcast television stations. In 2017, the FCC adopted an order relaxing the broadcast media ownership rulesand is considering additional revisions to the rules, which could lead to further broadcast television station consolidation. The FCC also adopted an orderauthorizing voluntary implementation of a new broadcast technical standard that permits broadcasters to seek carriage of signals using the new standardthrough retransmission consent. Together, these actions may impact retransmission consent negotiations and the fees we pay broadcasters. For information onmust-carry and retransmission consent issues relating to our broadcast television business, see “NBCUniversal Segments - Broadcast Television” below andrefer to the “Must-Carry/Retransmission Consent” discussion within that section.Pricing and PackagingWe are subject to rate regulation of charges for certain of our video service, equipment and installation in certain communities in Massachusetts, but all of theother areas we serve have unregulated prices. In addition to the FCC’s rate regulation rules, certain state entities monitor and may challenge the marketingand advertising of our services. For example, in 2016, the Washington State Attorney General filed a lawsuit, currently being litigated in state court, allegingthat our service protection plan, an optional plan that protects customers from incurring charges for service visits to diagnose and repair installed in-homewiring for residential cable services, violates state consumer protection laws. We cannot predict the outcome of this litigation or whether other states may filesimilar suits.Pole AttachmentsThe FCC regulates the rates, terms and conditions that most pole-owning utility companies charge cable operators and telecommunications carriers forallowing attachments to their poles. States are permitted to preempt FCC jurisdiction and regulate the rates, terms and conditions of attachments themselves,and many states in which we operate have done so and have generally followed the FCC’s pole attachment rate standards, which set rates fortelecommunications service pole attachments to levels at or near the rates for cable service attachments. The rates, terms and conditions of some municipaland cooperative pole owners, however, are not regulated by the FCC or states.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K15 Table of ContentsFranchisingCable operators generally operate their cable systems under nonexclusive franchises granted by local or state franchising authorities. While the terms andconditions of franchises vary materially from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, franchises typically last for a fixed term, obligate the franchisee to pay franchise feesand meet service quality, customer service and other requirements, and are terminable if the franchisee fails to comply with material provisions. Franchisingauthorities also may establish reasonable requirements for public, educational and governmental access programming. The Communications Act alsocontains provisions governing the franchising process, including renewal procedures designed to protect incumbent franchisees against arbitrary denials ofrenewal, including unreasonable renewal conditions. We believe that our franchise renewal prospects are generally favorable but cannot guarantee the futurerenewal of any individual franchise. In response to a remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the FCC has proposed to clarify that in-kindcontribution requirements in a cable franchise are generally subject to the statutory five percent cap on franchise fees and reaffirm that state and localauthorities are barred from imposing duplicative franchise and/or fee requirements on the operation of cable systems to provide non-cable services. Wecannot predict the outcome of this proceeding or its impact on our businesses.Voice ServicesWe provide voice services using VoIP technology. The FCC has adopted a number of regulations for providers of nontraditional voice services such as ours,including regulations relating to privacy of customer proprietary network information, local number portability duties and benefits, disability access, E911,law enforcement assistance, outage reporting, Universal Service Fund contribution obligations, rural call completion, back-up power, service discontinuanceand certain regulatory filing requirements. The FCC has not yet ruled on whether VoIP services such as ours should be classified as an “information service”or a “telecommunications service” under the Communications Act. The classification determination is important because telecommunications services areregulated more extensively than information services. Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit held that VoIP is an information service andpreempted state regulation of VoIP, but that ruling is limited to the seven states located in the Eighth Circuit. State regulatory commissions and legislaturesin other jurisdictions may continue to consider imposing regulatory requirements on our voice services as long as the regulatory classification of VoIPremains unsettled at the federal level.Voice InterconnectionBecause the FCC has not determined the appropriate classification of our voice services, providers of VoIP services typically either secure CLECauthorization or obtain interconnection to traditional wireline phone company networks by contracting with an existing CLEC, which has the right, as atelecommunications carrier, to request and obtain interconnection with the traditional wireline phone companies. We have arranged for such interconnectionrights through affiliated CLECs. If a regulatory or judicial authority were to deny our ability to interconnect through one of our affiliated CLECs, our abilityto provide voice services and compete in the area in question would be negatively impacted. The FCC regulates the arrangements by whichtelecommunications carriers compensate one another for exchanged traffic and has affirmed the right of CLECs to collect intercarrier compensation whenproviding interconnection for VoIP providers.Wireless ServiceIn 2017, we began offering a wireless voice and data service. We offer this service using our mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”) rights to provide theservice over Verizon’s wireless network. MVNOs are subject to many of the same FCC regulations as facilities-based wireless carriers (e.g., E911 services,local number portability, etc.), as well as certain state or local regulations. The FCC or other regulatory authorities may adopt new or different regulations forMVNOs and/or mobile broadband providers in the future, or impose new taxes or fees, which could adversely affect our wireless phone service offering or ourbusiness generally.Universal ServiceThe federal Universal Service program generally requires us and other phone service providers to pay a fee based on revenue from interstate and internationalservices into a fund used to subsidize the provision of voice services and broadband-capable voice networks in high-cost areas, the provision of voiceservices to low-income consumers, and the provision of internet, voice and telecommunications services to schools, libraries and certain health careproviders. Some states also have analogous programs that support service in high-cost areas or to low-income consumers.The FCC has shifted its focus away from supporting traditional telephone service, and toward subsidizing deployment of broadband-capable networks andbroadband facilities. This shift could assist some of our competitors. For example, the FCC has revised the high-cost federal Universal Service mechanism tosupport broadband-capable networks and substantially has revised the program that provides Universal Service support for services to schools and libraries tobegin phasing out support for voice services, with greater support directed to broadband services and the deployment of Wi-Fi networks. Similarly, the FCChas expanded its Lifeline subsidy program for low-income consumers to include broadband services in addition to voice services. The FCC or Congress 16Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentsmay revisit these subsidy programs and how they are funded. We cannot predict whether or how these programs will be changed in the future.NBCUniversal SegmentsCable NetworksProgram AccessThe Communications Act and FCC regulations generally prevent cable networks affiliated with cable operators from favoring cable operators over competingMVPDs. The FCC and Congress have considered proposals that would require companies that own multiple cable networks to make each of their networksavailable individually when negotiating distribution agreements with MVPDs and potentially with online video distributors. We currently offer our cablenetworks both on a bundled basis and, when requested, individually. We have been involved in program access disputes at the FCC and may be subject tonew complaints in the future.Children’s ProgrammingUnder federal regulations, the amount of commercial content that may be shown on cable networks, broadcast networks and broadcast television stationsduring programming originally produced and broadcast primarily for an audience of children under 13 years of age is limited, and certain television stationprogramming must serve the educational and informational needs of children under 17 years of age. In 2018, the FCC initiated a proceeding to review itsregulations regarding children’s programming, and we cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.Broadcast TelevisionLicensingLocal broadcast television stations may be operated only in accordance with a license issued by the FCC upon a finding that the grant of the license willserve the public interest, convenience and necessity. The FCC grants broadcast television station licenses for specific periods of time, which may be renewedwith or without conditions. The FCC recently renewed all of our broadcast television station licenses without conditions. Although our licenses have beenrenewed, there can be no assurance that we will always obtain renewal grants.Local Television OwnershipThe FCC recently revised its rules to generally permit a licensee to own up to two broadcast stations in the same DMA as long as at least one of the stations isnot among the top four-ranked stations in the DMA based on audience share. In addition, the new rules permit a licensee to own up to two stations ranked inthe top four in a DMA based on a case-by-case analysis of the circumstances surrounding the proposed combination. These recent changes are subject tojudicial appeal. These ownership restrictions do not apply if the signal coverage of the stations involved do not overlap in the same market. As part of its2018 quadrennial review of media ownership regulations, the FCC raised questions about the two-station-per-DMA ownership limit and the criteria by whichtop-four combinations should be assessed.National Television OwnershipThe Communications Act and FCC regulations limit the number of broadcast television stations one entity may own or control nationally. No entity mayhave an attributable interest in broadcast television stations that reach, in the aggregate, more than 39% of all U.S. television households. The FCC also has arule that affords a 50% discount to UHF stations (channels 14 and above) in calculating the extent of an individual station owner’s holdings under thenational cap. The FCC has initiated a proceeding to consider whether to retain the 50% discount and whether to modify the national television ownershiplimit. Our owned broadcast television station reach does not exceed the current limit even without considering the discount for UHF stations, but eliminationof the 50% discount without an increase in the 39% national cap would place us closer to the national cap and limit our flexibility to acquire stations in thefuture.Foreign OwnershipThe Communications Act generally limits foreign ownership in a broadcast television station to 20% direct ownership and 25% indirect ownership, althoughthe limit on indirect ownership can be waived if the FCC finds it to be in the public interest.Dual Network RuleEach of the four major broadcast television networks - ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC - is prohibited from being under common ownership or control with anotherof the four. As part of its 2018 quadrennial review of media ownership regulations, the FCC raised questions about whether the dual network rule remainsnecessary in the public interest.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K17 Table of ContentsMust Carry/Retransmission ConsentEvery three years, each commercial television station must elect for each cable system in its DMA either must carry or retransmission consent. A similarregulatory scheme applies to satellite providers. For the current three-year period, which commenced on January 1, 2018, all of our owned NBC broadcasttelevision stations and our owned Telemundo broadcast television stations elected retransmission consent.IndecencyA federal statute and FCC regulations prohibit the broadcast of obscene material on television stations at any time and indecent or profane material betweenthe hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. From time to time, we have received and may receive in the future letters of inquiry from the FCC prompted by complaintsalleging that certain programming on our owned local broadcast television stations included indecent or profane material.Filmed EntertainmentOur filmed entertainment business is subject to “trade practice laws” in effect in 25 states and Puerto Rico relating to theatrical distribution of motionpictures. In countries outside the United States, a variety of existing or contemplated laws and regulations may affect our ability to distribute and licensemotion picture and television products, as well as consumer merchandise products. The ability of countries to deny market access or refuse national treatmentto products originating outside their territories is regulated under various international agreements.Theme ParksOur theme parks are subject to various regulations, including laws and regulations regarding environmental protection, privacy and data protection,consumer product safety and theme park operations, such as health, sanitation, safety and fire standards, as well as liquor licenses.Sky SegmentSky is subject to regulation primarily under Austrian, German, Irish, Italian, U.K. and European Union (“EU”) law, including telecommunications- and media-specific regulation described below, as well as regulation under generally applicable laws, such as competition, consumer protection, data protection andtaxation. Sky is currently, and may be in the future, subject to proceedings or investigations from regulatory and antitrust authorities in the jurisdictions inwhich it operates. In addition, in connection with our acquisition of Sky, we have made certain legally binding commitments with respect to Sky’soperations, including for example, to maintain annual funding for Sky News in an amount no lower than Sky News’ 2017 fiscal year expenditures, as adjustedby inflation, until 2029.Platform ServicesIn the U.K., under the U.K. Communications Act of 2003, Sky is required to ensure that agreements to provide electronic program guide (“EPG”) andconditional access (“CA”) services to other programming providers are on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms, among other things, so that thoseproviders’ content is available on Sky’s satellite platform via the EPG on Sky’s set-top boxes. Sky also has voluntarily committed to Ofcom, the U.K.regulator, to provide access control services to third parties that enable them to provide interactive services. Sky is subject to similar EPG and CA obligationsin Germany under the Interstate Treaty on Broadcasting and Telemedia, as amended by the 20th State Broadcasting Amendment Treaty (the “RStV”).Television ChannelsSky holds a number of licenses and authorizations for its portfolio of pay TV channels. In the U.K., as a broadcast licensee, Sky is subject to various codesissued by Ofcom affecting the content and delivery of these channels. These codes include, for example, Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code, the Code on theScheduling of Television Advertising, and the Cross-Promotion Code. Sky also holds various nationwide broadcast licenses in Germany, and must complywith the RStV; the applicable laws of the federal state in Germany that has granted the broadcasting license; and with the Interstate Treaty on the Protectionof Minors. These include regulations regarding media concentration, television advertising, accessibility, airtime for commercials and teleshopping,sponsorship, and the requirement for a clear distinction between program content and advertising. Sky is also a holder of broadcasting licenses in Austria andis subject to broadcast regulations under the Austrian Act on Audiovisual Media Services, such as regulations governing content, advertisements, and theprotection of children. In addition, Sky is subject to Austrian rules on media plurality, which prohibit broadcasters in Austria from exceeding certain mediacoverage thresholds. In Italy, Sky must comply with various requirements regarding broadcast authorizations, including provisions that protect mediaplurality, obligations requiring broadcasters to guarantee equal treatment between political parties during elections, advertising limits, the protection ofchildren and parental controls, the protection of IP rights, and consumer protections. NBCUniversal’s international television channels are subject to similarregulations in jurisdictions in which they operate. 18Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsHigh-Speed Internet and Voice ServicesSky provides broadband and voice services in the U.K. and Ireland pursuant to wholesale distribution agreements that third-party broadband andtelecommunications companies are required to make available under applicable laws in those jurisdictions. Material changes to these regulations could affectSky’s business. Sky is also subject to EU open internet regulations, which prohibit the blocking, throttling, or discrimination of online content, applications,and services and require ISPs to disclose their traffic management, throughput limitations, and other practices impacting quality of service in customercontracts.Other Areas of RegulationIntellectual PropertyCopyright, trademark, unfair competition, patent, trade secret and other proprietary-rights laws of the United States and other countries help protect ourintellectual property rights. In particular, unauthorized copying, distribution, and piracy of programming and films over the internet, through devices,software and websites, and through counterfeit DVDs, and other platforms, interfere with the market for copyrighted works and present challenges forNBCUniversal’s cable networks, broadcast television and filmed entertainment businesses and Sky’s businesses. We have actively engaged in theenforcement of our intellectual property rights and likely will continue to expend substantial resources to protect our content. Although many legalprotections exist to combat such practices, the extent of copyright protection and the use of technological protections are controversial. Modifications toexisting laws, a weakening of these protections, or a failure of existing laws, in the United States or internationally, to adapt to new technologies could havean adverse effect on our ability to license and sell our programming.U.S. copyright laws also require that our video business contribute a percentage of revenue to a federal copyright royalty pool in exchange for retransmittingcopyrighted material in broadcast signals under a cable compulsory license and that we pay standard industry licensing fees for the public performance ofmusic in the programs we create or distribute. The cable compulsory license royalties we pay are subject to audit by copyright owners, and we cannot predicthow any disputes regarding our royalty calculations will impact those fees in the future. In addition, the Copyright Office has initiated a rulemaking toconsider how royalty payments should be calculated under the cable compulsory license. We cannot predict the outcome of this rulemaking, but there is arisk that it could result in higher royalty payments. It is also possible that Congress will eliminate or modify the cable compulsory license in the future, whichcould impact the retransmission of broadcast signals over cable systems. The music fees we pay are typically renegotiated when we renew licenses withperforming rights organizations. The landscape for music licensing is constantly changing. New performing rights organizations have formed to seek higherroyalties for the use of music they represent, and other organizations seek royalties for performance rights for which no compensation is currently required.We cannot predict how renegotiation of current rights and future changes in music royalties will affect the music fees that we pay.Privacy and Data Security RegulationThe Communications Act generally restricts cable operators’ nonconsensual collection and disclosure to third parties of cable customers’ personallyidentifiable information, except for rendering service, conducting legitimate business activities related to the service, and responding to legal requests. Weare also subject to various state and federal regulations that provide privacy protections for customer proprietary network information related to our voiceservices.The FTC generally exercises oversight of consumer privacy protections using its enforcement authority over unfair and deceptive acts or practices.In addition, certain states have exercised oversight of consumer privacy protections in their respective states. The FTC and state attorney generals regularlyinitiate efforts to update or enforce transparency requirements about the collection and use of consumer information, which may require ongoing review ofnew and rapidly evolving technologies and methods for delivering content and advertising to ensure that appropriate notice is given to consumers andconsent is obtained where required.In May 2018, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which broadly regulates the processing of personal data collected from individuals inthe EU regardless of whether the processing actually takes place in the EU, came into effect. GDPR and the Member States’ legislation implementing theGDPR, affect our ability to process certain personal data. We cannot predict how regulators will interpret the scope or requirements of GDPR.Privacy and data security legislation remained a priority issue in 2018 in many U.S. states and localities, as well as foreign jurisdictions outside of the EU. Forexample, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which broadly regulates the sale of the consumer information of Californiaresidents and grants California residents certain rights to, among other things, access and delete data about them in certain circumstances. CCPA goes intoeffect on January 1, 2020, and compliance with the CCPA may increase the cost of providing our services in California. Other states are considering similarproposals. Such attempts by the states to regulate have the potential to create a patchwork of differing and/or conflicting state regulations.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K19 Table of ContentsAdditionally, there are pending federal legislative proposals that, if enacted, could create new consumer privacy protections or impose new requirements onentities that collect and use consumer personal information, including us. We cannot predict whether such legislation will be enacted at the federal or statelevel and, if so, the impact of any such laws on our business.We are also subject to stringent data security and data retention requirements that apply to website operators and online services directed to children under13 years of age, or that knowingly collect or post personal information from children under 13 years of age. In addition, we are subject to state and federallaws and regulations regarding data security that primarily apply to any person’s sensitive personal information that could be used to commit identity theft.Most states have security breach notification laws that generally require a business to give notice to consumers and government agencies when certaininformation has been disclosed to an unauthorized party due to a security breach, and the FCC has adopted security breach rules for voice services. Severalstates have also enacted general data security requirements to safeguard consumer information, including the proper disposal of consumer informationWe are also subject to state and federal “do not call” laws regarding telemarketing and state and federal laws regarding unsolicited commercial emails, as wellas FCC regulations relating to automated telemarketing calls, texts and SMS messages.FCC Spectrum Auction and RepackingIn 2017, as a result of an incentive auction conducted by the FCC to repurpose television broadcast spectrum for mobile broadband use, NBCUniversal soldbroadcast spectrum rights associated with television stations in three of its markets. Those stations vacated their sold spectrum but continue to operate bysharing channels with other NBCUniversal stations in those markets. The FCC assigned 23 of NBCUniversal’s other television stations that did not sell theirspectrum rights to new channels; those stations are in the process of transitioning to their new channels in a post-auction repacking process that is scheduledto conclude in the third quarter of 2020, and the FCC will reimburse those stations for a portion of their reasonable relocation costs (subject to a nationwideaggregate limit of $2.75 billion). As a result of the repacking process, Comcast will have to make changes to its cable systems to accommodate broadcasterson their newly assigned channels, and will be reimbursed by the FCC for a portion of those related costs (subject to a nationwide aggregate limit of $2.75billion).In addition, we acquired 73 new mobile broadband licenses in this auction for $1.7 billion. We will be obligated to meet certain regulatory requirementsconcerning the use of these licenses over the coming years.FCC 5G Spectrum Proceedings and Other Wireless Laws and RegulationsIn multiple regulatory proceedings, the FCC is currently considering establishing and/or modifying its rules to make available additional spectrum that willlikely be used to provide the next generation of commercial wireless broadband services, commonly referred to as 5G services. Some of this spectrum iscurrently used for satellite delivery of broadcast and cable programming to cable headends and broadcast stations, including our own, and there is a risk thatsuch satellite delivery could be disrupted if the FCC were to adopt certain proposals. In addition, there is potential for new legislation or FCC regulations thatcould enable wireless providers to offer video and other services over their networks subject to different, and possibly fewer, regulatory obligations than theservices we provide. We cannot predict what rules or legislation, if any, will ultimately be adopted or how any such changes would affect our businesses.State and Local TaxesSome states and localities have imposed or are considering imposing, through both legislative and administrative channels, new or additional taxes or feeson, or limiting or eliminating incentives or credits earned or monetized by, the businesses operated by our Cable Communications and NBCUniversalsegments, or imposing adverse methodologies by which taxes, fees, incentives or credits are computed, earned or monetized. These include combinedreporting or other changes to general business taxes, central assessments for property tax and taxes and fees on the businesses operated or services providedby our Cable Communications and NBCUniversal segments. In some situations, DBS providers and other competitors that deliver their services over a high-speed internet connection do not face the same state tax and fee burdens. Congress has also considered, and may consider again, proposals to bar or limitstates from imposing taxes on these DBS providers or other competitors that are equivalent to the taxes or fees that we pay. The Internet Tax Freedom Act,which prohibits most states and localities from imposing sales and other taxes on our internet access charges, was made permanent by 2016 legislation;however, some jurisdictions have or may assert that certain taxes akin to right-of-way fees are not preempted by Internet Tax Freedom Act. 20Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsEnvironmental MattersCertain of our business operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations since they involve air emissions, wastewater discharges and the use,disposal and cleanup of toxic and hazardous substances. Any failure to comply with environmental requirements could result in monetary fines, civil orcriminal sanctions, third-party claims or other costs or liabilities. Environmental requirements have become more stringent over time, and pending orproposed new regulations could impact our operations or costs.U.K. Exit from the European UnionThe telecommunications and media regulatory framework applicable to Sky and NBCUniversal’s businesses in the U.K. and the EU may be subject to greateruncertainty in the event that the U.K. leaves the EU. We cannot predict the extent of any potential changes to the regulatory framework involving U.K. andEU regulation of telecommunications and media, or changes to certain mutual recognition arrangements for media and broadcasting.Other RegulationsU.S. states and localities, and various regulatory authorities actively regulate other aspects of our businesses, including accessibility to our video and voiceservices and broadcast television programming for people with disabilities, customer service standards, inside wiring, cable equipment, leased access,loudness of commercial advertisements, advertising, Emergency Alert System, equal employment opportunity and other employment-related laws, lotteryprogramming, recordkeeping and public file requirements, regulatory fees and technical standards relating to the operation of cable systems and televisionstations. In addition, our international businesses are subject to various international regulations, including those that cover television broadcasting,programming and advertising. We are occasionally subject to enforcement actions and investigations at the FCC and other federal, state, and local agencies,as well as foreign governments and regulatory authorities, which can result in us having to pay fines to the agency or being subject to other sanctions.EmployeesAs of December 31, 2018, we had approximately 184,000 full-time and part-time employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. Of these employees,approximately 88,000, 64,000 and 30,000 were associated with our cable communications business, our NBCUniversal businesses and our Sky business,respectively. We also use freelance and temporary employees in the normal course of our business.Caution Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsThe SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and makeinformed investment decisions. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In somecases, you can identify these so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “believes,” “estimates,”“potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these words, and other comparable words. You should be aware that these statements are only our predictions. Inevaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks and uncertainties listed in “Risk Factors” and in other reports we filewith the SEC.Additionally, we operate in a highly competitive, consumer-driven and rapidly changing environment. This environment is affected by governmentregulation; economic, strategic, political and social conditions; consumer response to new and existing products and services; technological developments;and, particularly in view of new technologies, the ability to develop and protect intellectual property rights. Our actual results could differ materially fromour forward-looking statements as a result of any of such factors, which could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition. Weundertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.Item 1A: Risk FactorsOur businesses currently face a wide range of competition, and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not competeeffectively.All of our businesses operate in intensely competitive, consumer-driven and rapidly changing environments and compete with a growing number ofcompanies that provide a broad range of communications products and services and entertainment, news and information content to consumers. Online videodistribution platforms are further intensifying and complicating the competitive landscape and influencing consumer behavior, which is discussed in the riskfactor immediately below under the heading “Changes in consumer behavior driven by online video distribution platforms for viewing content couldadversely affect our businesses and challenge existing business models.”Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K21 Table of ContentsCompetition for Cable Communications’ cable services consists primarily of phone companies with fiber-based networks and DBS providers that typicallyoffer features, pricing and packaging for services comparable to ours. Some of these competitors are also offering smaller packages of channels at price pointslower than our standard packages, both through traditional and online video distribution platforms, which could cause us to offer more customizedprogramming packages that may be less profitable. Consolidation between phone companies (which are also wireless distributors) and content providers inthe United States provides competitors with the ability to offer free or lower cost streaming services for viewing their content, potentially on an exclusivebasis, through unlimited data-usage plans for their internet or wireless phone services. Additional companies, some with significant financial resources,continue to enter or are seeking to enter the video distribution market, either by offering OTT streaming services or selling devices that aggregate viewing ofvarious OTT services.Sky faces competition in video, high-speed internet and voice services from cable and/or telecommunications providers in each of its European markets.More providers in Europe now offer customers bundles of services, which has increased competition. The intensity of this competition has increased in recentyears, including as a result of OTT streaming services.Cable Communications’ and Sky’s high-speed internet services compete primarily against phone companies with fiber-based networks offering speeds andpricing comparable to ours. Wireless internet services, such as 4G and 5G wireless broadband services, satellite-delivered internet services and Wi-Finetworks, and devices such as smartphones, tablets, wireless data cards, and mobile wireless routers that connect to such devices, also may compete with ourhigh-speed internet services, particularly as wireless technology evolves. Some municipalities in the United States own and operate their own broadbandnetworks, and additional municipalities may do so as well. Cable Communications’ and Sky’s wireline voice services are facing increased competition ascustomers replace wireline phones with wireless and internet-based phone services.We continue to seek ways to enhance the value of Cable Communications’ cable services network, such as by growing high-speed internet services andbusiness services and by launching additional services, such as our security and automation services. Sky also is seeking ways to enhance the value of itsservices. There can be no assurance that we can execute on these and other initiatives in a manner sufficient to grow or maintain our Cable Communicationsor Sky segment revenue, maintain Cable Communications or Sky segment operating margins or to compete successfully in the future.Each of NBCUniversal’s businesses and Sky also face substantial and increasing competition from providers of similar types of content, as well as from otherforms of entertainment and recreational activities. NBCUniversal and Sky must compete to obtain talent, content and other resources required in operatingthese businesses.The ability of all of our businesses to compete effectively depends on our perceived image and reputation among our various constituencies, including ourcustomers, consumers, advertisers, investors and government authorities. Our ability to compete will be negatively affected if we do not provide ourcustomers with a satisfactory customer experience.There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against existing or newer competitors or that competition will not have an adverseeffect on our businesses. For a more detailed description of the competition facing our businesses, see Item 1: Business and refer to the “Competition”discussion within that section.Changes in consumer behavior driven by online video distribution platforms for viewing content could adversely affect our businesses and challengeexisting business models.Distribution platforms for viewing and purchasing content over the internet have been, and will likely continue to be, developed that further increase thenumber of competitors that all our businesses face and challenge existing business models. These distribution platforms are driving changes in consumerbehavior as consumers seek more control over when, where and how they consume content and access communications services, and how much they pay forsuch content.Consumers are increasingly turning to online sources for viewing and purchasing content, which has and likely will continue to reduce the number of CableCommunications’ video customers and subscribers to NBCUniversal’s cable networks even as it makes Cable Communications’ high-speed internet servicesmore important to consumers. While these changes are primarily affecting our U.S. businesses today, there can be no assurance that they will not also affectSky’s businesses to a similar extent in the future, even with Sky offering a standalone OTT video streaming service. Although we have attempted to adapt ourvideo service offerings to changing consumer behaviors, for example, by deploying the X1 platform and adding apps such as Netflix and Amazon PrimeVideo on set-top boxes, virtual multichannel video providers, online video distributors and programming networks providing their content directly toconsumers over the internet rather than through traditional video distribution services continue to emerge, gain consumer acceptance and disrupt traditionalvideo distribution services. Many of these service offerings charge no fee or a lower fee than traditional video packages for access to their content, whichcould have an adverse effect on demand for Cable Communications’ and Sky’s video services, including for expanded video packages, premium networks,and DVR and On Demand services. 22Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsAn increasing number of companies offering OTT streaming services, including some with exclusive high-quality original video programming, as well asprogramming networks offering content directly to consumers over the internet, have increased the number of entertainment choices available to consumers,which has intensified audience fragmentation. The increase in entertainment choices adversely affects the audience ratings of NBCUniversal’s cable networksand broadcast television programming and Sky’s owned television channels. Time-shifting technologies, such as video on demand services and DVR andcloud-based recording services, also reduce the viewing of content through traditional and virtual multichannel video providers, which has caused and likelywill continue to cause audience ratings declines for NBCUniversal’s cable networks and broadcast television programming and Sky’s owned televisionchannels, and may adversely affect the price and amount of advertising that advertisers are willing to purchase from us and the amount NBCUniversal andSky receive for distribution of their content.The success of any of these ongoing or future developments or our failure to effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging competitors or changes in consumerbehavior, including among younger consumers, could have an adverse effect on our competitive position, businesses and results of operations.A decline in advertisers’ expenditures or changes in advertising markets could negatively impact our businesses.Our cable communications, cable networks, broadcast television, and Sky businesses compete for the sale of advertising time with other television networksand stations, as well as with all other advertising platforms, such as digital media, radio and print. We derive substantial revenue from the sale of advertising,and a decline in expenditures by advertisers, including through traditional linear television distribution models, could negatively impact our results ofoperations. Declines can be caused by the economic prospects of specific advertisers or industries, increased competition for the leisure time of viewers, suchas from social media and video games, and audience fragmentation, increased viewing of ad-free content through online video distribution platforms,regulatory intervention regarding where advertising may be placed, or the economy in general. In addition, advertisers’ willingness to purchase advertisingfrom us may be adversely affected by lower audience ratings, which many of NBCUniversal’s networks and Sky’s television channels have experienced andlikely will continue to experience. Advertising sales and rates also are dependent on the methodology used for audience measurement and could benegatively affected if methodologies do not accurately reflect actual viewership levels. For example, certain methods of viewing content, such as viewingcontent through many online video distribution platforms or delayed viewing on DVRs, might not be counted in audience measurements or may generateless, if any, revenue than traditional linear television distribution methods, which could have an adverse effect on our advertising revenue.Our businesses depend on keeping pace with technological developments.Our success is, to a large extent, dependent on our ability to acquire, develop, adopt and leverage new and existing technologies, and our competitors’ use ofcertain types of technology and equipment may provide them with a competitive advantage. For example, current and new wireless internet technologiessuch as 4G and 5G wireless broadband services continue to evolve rapidly to allow for greater speed and reliability, and some companies and municipalitiesare building advanced fiber-based networks that provide very fast internet access speeds. We expect other advances in communications technology to occurin the future. If we choose technology or equipment that is not as effective or attractive to consumers as that employed by our competitors, if we fail toemploy technologies desired by consumers before our competitors do so, or if we fail to execute effectively on our technology initiatives, our businesses andresults of operations could be adversely affected. We also will continue to incur additional costs as we execute our technology initiatives, such as the U.S.deployment of DOCSIS 3.1 and DOCSIS FDX, our X1 and Sky Q set-top boxes, cloud DVR and wireless gateways. There can be no assurance that we canexecute on these and other initiatives in a manner sufficient to grow or maintain our revenue or to compete successfully in the future. We also may generateless revenue or incur increased costs if changes in our competitors’ product offerings require that we offer certain of our existing services or enhancements at alower or no cost to our customers or that we increase our research and development expenditures.We are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and foreign authorities, which impose additional costs and restrictions on our businesses.In the United States, federal, state and local governments extensively regulate the high-speed internet, video and voice services industries. Our broadcasttelevision business is also highly regulated by U.S. laws and regulations. NBCUniversal’s cable networks, filmed entertainment and theme parks businessesare also subject to various other laws and regulations at the international, federal, state and local levels. Sky’s business is subject to varioustelecommunications and media-specific regulations in most of the countries where it operates. The FCC and certain state attorneys general and foreigngovernmental authorities also have been active in conducting inquiries and reviews regarding our services, and this trend likely will continue. Failure tocomply with the laws and regulations applicable to our businesses could result in administrative enforcement actions, fines, and civil and criminal liability.Legislators and regulators at all levels of government, including foreign authorities, frequently consider changing, and sometimes do change, existingstatutes, rules or regulations, or interpretations of existing statues, rules or regulations, or prescribe new ones, any of which may significantly affect ourbusinesses. These legislators and regulators have been active in considering rulemakings and legislation regarding our services. For example, some stateshave passed or introduced legislation or executive orders thatComcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K23 Table of Contentsimpose various open internet and data privacy requirements. Such attempts by the states to regulate portions of our businesses have the potential to create apatchwork of differing and/or conflicting state regulations. These requirements and any future legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative actions mayincrease our costs or impose additional restrictions on our businesses, some of which may be significant. The U.S. Congress may consider proposals to addresscommunications issues, including whether it should rewrite the entire Communications Act to account for changes in the communications marketplace,whether it should enact new, permanent open internet requirements and whether it should fund new broadband infrastructure. We are unable to predict theoutcome or effects of any of these potential actions or any other legislative or regulatory proposals on our businesses. Any changes to the legal andregulatory framework applicable to any of our services or businesses could have an adverse impact on our businesses and results of operations. For a moreextensive discussion of the significant risks associated with the regulation of our businesses, see Item 1: Business and refer to the “Legislation andRegulation” discussion within that section.Programming expenses for our video services are increasing, which could adversely affect Cable Communications’ and Sky’s video businesses.We expect programming expenses for our video services to continue to be the largest single expense item for our Cable Communications and Sky segmentsand to increase for the foreseeable future. Our programming expenses may also increase as we add programming to our video services or distribute existingprogramming to more of our customers or through additional delivery platforms, such as On Demand or streaming services. Additionally, CableCommunications pays certain local broadcast television stations in exchange for their required consent for the retransmission of broadcast networkprogramming to video services customers; we expect to continue to be subject to increasing demands for payment and other concessions from local broadcasttelevision stations. These market factors may be exacerbated by increased consolidation in the media industry, which may further increase our programmingexpenses. If we are unable to raise our customers’ rates or offset programming cost increases through the sale of additional services or cost managementinitiatives, the increasing cost of programming could have an adverse effect on our Cable Communications and Sky segments’ results of operations.Moreover, as our contracts with content providers expire, there can be no assurance that they will be renewed on acceptable terms, if renewed at all, in whichcase we may be unable to provide such content as part of Cable Communications’ or Sky’s video services, and our businesses and results of operations couldbe adversely affected.NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s success depends on consumer acceptance of their content, and their businesses may be adversely affected if their content failsto achieve sufficient consumer acceptance or the costs to create or acquire content increase.Most of NBCUniversal’s, as well as Sky’s, businesses create and acquire media and entertainment content, the success of which depends substantially onconsumer tastes and preferences that change in often unpredictable ways. The success of these businesses depends on our ability to consistently create,acquire, market and distribute NBCUniversal’s cable network and broadcast television programming, Sky’s owned television channels, filmed entertainment,theme park attractions and other content that meet the changing preferences of the broad domestic and international consumer markets. We have invested,and will continue to invest, substantial amounts in our content, including in the production of original content on NBCUniversal’s cable networks andbroadcast television networks and Sky’s owned television channels, in our films and for theme park attractions, before learning the extent to which it willearn consumer acceptance.NBCUniversal and Sky also obtain a significant portion of their content from third parties, such as movie studios, television production companies, sportsorganizations and other suppliers, including in the case of Sky, sometimes on an exclusive basis. Competition for popular content, particularly for sportsprogramming, is intense, and we may have to increase the price we are willing to pay or be outbid by our competitors for popular content. Entering into orrenewing contracts for such programming rights or acquiring additional rights may result in significantly increased costs. Particularly with respect to long-term contracts for sports programming rights for NBCUniversal and Sky, our results of operations and cash flows over the term of a contract depend on anumber of factors, including the strength of the advertising market, audience size, the ability to secure distribution from and impose surcharges or obtaincarriage on multichannel video providers for NBCUniversal’s content, and the timing and amount of rights payments. There can be no assurance that revenuefrom these contracts will exceed our costs for the rights, as well as the other costs of producing and distributing the programming. If our content does notachieve sufficient consumer acceptance, or if we cannot obtain or retain rights to popular content on acceptable terms, or at all, NBCUniversal’s and Sky’sbusinesses may be adversely affected. 24Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsThe loss of NBCUniversal’s programming distribution agreements, or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms, could adversely affectour businesses.NBCUniversal’s cable networks depend on their ability to secure and maintain distribution agreements with traditional and virtual multichannel videoproviders. Increasingly, NBCUniversal’s cable networks, broadcast television and filmed entertainment businesses are entering into agreements to licensetheir prior season and library content on other distribution platforms, including subscription video on demand services. If NBCUniversal’s programming doesnot attract sufficient viewers, traditional and virtual multichannel video providers may decide not to distribute NBCUniversal’s broadcast and cablenetworks, and OTT video streaming services may not license programming we create. In addition, the number of subscribers to NBCUniversal’s cablenetworks has been, and may continue to be reduced, as a result of multichannel video providers offering smaller packages of channels as part of their virtualor traditional television programming packages and by overall reduced viewing of television programming through multichannel video providers.NBCUniversal’s broadcast television networks depend on their ability to secure and maintain network affiliation agreements with third-party local broadcasttelevision stations in the markets where it does not own the affiliated local broadcast television station. In addition, every three years, each of its owned localbroadcast television stations must elect, with respect to its retransmission by multichannel video providers within its DMA, either “must-carry” status, inwhich the distributor’s carriage of the station is mandatory and does not generate any compensation for the local station, or “retransmission consent,” inwhich the station gives up its right to mandatory carriage and instead seeks to negotiate the terms and conditions of carriage with the distributor, includingthe amount of compensation, if any, paid to the station by such distributor. For the current three-year period, which commenced on January 1, 2018, all of ourowned NBC broadcast television stations and our owned Telemundo broadcast television stations elected retransmission consent. However, certain illegalonline entities may stream our broadcast television content online without our consent and without paying any compensation to us.There can be no assurance that any of our distribution agreements will be renewed in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The loss of any of theseagreements, or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms, could reduce NBCUniversal’s revenues and the reach of our television programmingand its attractiveness to advertisers, which in turn could adversely affect NBCUniversal’s cable networks, broadcast television and filmed entertainmentbusinesses.Less favorable regulation, the loss of Sky’s transmission agreements with satellite or telecommunications providers or the renewal of these agreementson less favorable terms, could adversely affect Sky’s businesses.Sky relies on various telecommunications providers to deliver its video, high-speed internet, voice and wireless phone services to its customers. For example,Sky relies on satellites leased from third parties to provide most of its video services. In addition, pursuant to the current regulatory regime in the U.K. andItaly, Sky is able to access networks owned by third-party telecommunication providers to provide its high-speed internet and phone services, in most cases,on regulated terms, including price. These regulated terms could become less favorable. Moreover, while Sky is able to receive wholesale fiber access on fair,reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, pricing terms are not regulated. If Sky is unable to enter into or renew its transmission agreements with satellite ortelecommunications operators on commercially reasonable terms or if these operators were to terminate their agreements, Sky may be unable to deliver someof its services to customers in one or more of the countries in which it operates.The loss of Sky’s wholesale distribution agreements with traditional multichannel video providers could adversely affect Sky’s businesses.Sky benefits from its ability to secure and maintain wholesale distribution agreements for its television channels with traditional multichannel videoproviders. There can be no assurance that any of its distribution agreements will be renewed in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The loss of any ofthese agreements, or the renewal of these agreements on less favorable terms, could reduce Sky’s revenues and the reach of its television programming and itsattractiveness to advertisers, which in turn could adversely affect Sky’s businesses.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K25 Table of ContentsWe rely on network and information systems and other technologies, as well as key properties, and a disruption, cyber attack, failure or destruction ofsuch networks, systems, technologies or properties may disrupt our businesses.Network and information systems and other technologies, including those related to our network management, customer service operations, andprogramming delivery, and technology embedded in our products and services, are critical to our business activities. Cyber threats and attacks are directed atboth known and newly discovered software and hardware vulnerabilities and are constantly evolving, which increases the difficulty of detecting andsuccessfully defending against them. Cyber threats and attacks can have cascading impacts that unfold with increasing speed across networks, informationsystems and other technologies. Network, information systems and technology-related events, including those caused by us, such as process breakdowns,security architecture or design vulnerabilities, or by third parties, such as computer hackings, cyber attacks, computer viruses, worms or other destructive ordisruptive software, denial of service attacks, malicious social engineering or other malicious activities, or power outages, natural disasters, infectious diseaseoutbreaks, terrorist attacks or other similar events, could result in a degradation or disruption of our products and services, excessive call volume to callcenters, theft or misuse of our intellectual property or other assets, a reduction in demand for our theme parks, disruption of the security of our internalsystems and products and services or satellite transmission signals, the compromise of confidential or technical business information or damage to ourequipment, data, properties and reputation. In addition, severe weather events such as hurricanes and wild fires have impacted our services, products andproperties from time to time in the past and will in the future. The occurrence of these events may result in large expenditures to repair or replace the damagedproperties, products, services, networks or information systems to protect them from similar events in the future, and any such events could lead to litigationor otherwise have an adverse effect on our results of operations.In addition, we obtain certain confidential, proprietary and personal information about our customers, personnel and vendors, and may in some cases providethis information to third parties, in connection with our business. While we generally obtain assurances that these third parties will protect this information,there is a risk that this information may be compromised. Any security breaches, such as misappropriation, misuse, leakage, falsification or accidental releaseor loss of information maintained in our third-party’s information technology systems, including customer, personnel and vendor data, could damage ourreputation and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to remedy any such security breach, could lead to litigation or could causeregulators to impose fines or other remedies for failure to comply with relevant customer privacy rules.The risk of systems-related events and security breaches occurring continues to intensify in many of our businesses, and our businesses may be at adisproportionately heightened risk of these events occurring, due to the nature of our businesses and because we maintain certain information necessary toconduct our business in digital form. In the ordinary course of our business, there are frequent attempts to cause such systems-related events and securitybreaches. We have experienced minor systems-related events that, to date, have not resulted in any significant degradation or disruption to our network orinformation systems or our products, services or operations. While we develop and maintain systems, and operate an extensive security program, seeking toprevent systems-related events and security breaches from occurring, the development, maintenance and operation of these systems and programs is costlyand requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated and evolverapidly. Despite our efforts to prevent these events and security breaches, there can be no assurance that they will not occur in the future or will not have anadverse effect on our businesses. Moreover, the amount and scope of insurance we maintain against losses resulting from any such events or security breacheslikely would not be sufficient to cover our losses or otherwise adequately compensate us for any disruptions to our business that may result, and theoccurrence of any such events or security breaches could have an adverse effect on our business.Our businesses depend on using and protecting certain intellectual property rights and on not infringing the intellectual property rights of others.We rely on our intellectual property, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, as well as licenses and other agreements with our vendors andother third parties, to use various technologies, conduct our operations and sell our products and services. Legal challenges to our intellectual property rightsand claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties could require that we enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incursubstantial monetary liability, or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question, from importing into theUnited States or other jurisdictions in which we operate hardware that uses such intellectual property or from the continuation of our businesses as currentlyconducted. We may need to change our business practices if any of these events occur, which may limit our ability to compete effectively and could have anadverse effect on our results of operations. Even if we believe any such challenges or claims are without merit, they can be time-consuming and costly todefend and divert management’s attention and resources away from our businesses. Moreover, if we are unable to obtain or continue to obtain licenses fromour vendors and other third parties on reasonable terms, our businesses could be adversely affected.In addition, intellectual property constitutes a significant part of the value of NBCUniversal’s and Sky’s businesses, and their success is highly dependent onprotecting the intellectual property rights of the content they create or acquire against third-party misappropriation, reproduction or infringement. Theunauthorized reproduction, distribution or display of copyrighted material 26Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentsnegatively affects our ability to generate revenue from the legitimate sale of our content, as well as from the sale of advertising in connection with ourcontent, and increases our costs due to our active enforcement of our intellectual property rights.Piracy and other unauthorized uses of content are made easier, and the enforcement of intellectual property rights more challenging, by technologicaladvances that allow the conversion of programming, films and other content into digital formats, which facilitates the creation, transmission and sharing ofhigh-quality unauthorized copies. In particular, piracy of programming and films through unauthorized distribution on DVDs, peer-to-peer computernetworks and other platforms continues to present challenges for NBCUniversal’s cable networks, broadcast television and filmed entertainment businesses.It also presents similar challenges for Sky’s businesses, including as a result of illegal retransmission of sports events. While piracy is a challenge in theUnited States, it is particularly prevalent in many parts of the world that lack developed copyright laws, effective enforcement of copyright laws andtechnical protective measures like those in effect in the United States. If any U.S. or international laws intended to combat piracy and protect intellectualproperty rights are repealed or weakened or are not adequately enforced, or if the legal system fails to adapt to new technologies that facilitate piracy, we maybe unable to effectively protect our rights, the value of our intellectual property may be negatively impacted and our costs of enforcing our rights mayincrease.We may be unable to obtain necessary hardware, software and operational support.We depend on third-party vendors to supply us with a significant amount of the hardware, software and operational support necessary to provide certain ofour products and services. Some of these vendors represent our primary source of supply or grant us the right to incorporate their intellectual property intosome of our hardware and software products. While we actively monitor the operations and financial condition of key vendors in an attempt to detect anypotential difficulties, there can be no assurance that we would timely identify any operating or financial difficulties associated with these vendors or that wecould effectively mitigate our risks with respect to any such difficulties. If any of these vendors experience operating or financial difficulties, if our demandexceeds their capacity or if they are otherwise unable to meet our specifications or provide the equipment, products or services we need in a timely manner (orat all), or at reasonable prices, our ability to provide some products or services may be adversely affected and we may incur additional costs.Weak economic conditions may have a negative impact on our businesses.A substantial portion of our revenue comes from customers whose spending patterns may be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Weak economicconditions in the United States or globally could adversely affect demand for any of our products and services and have a negative impact on our results ofoperations. For example, customers may reduce the level of cable services to which they subscribe, or may discontinue subscribing to one or more of CableCommunications’ cable services or Sky’s services. This risk may be increased by the expanded availability of free or lower cost competitive services, such asOTT video services, or substitute services for high-speed internet and voice services, such as mobile phones and Wi-Fi networks. Weak economic conditionsalso may have a negative impact on our advertising revenue, the performance of our films and home entertainment releases, and attendance and spending inour theme parks.Weak economic conditions and disruption in the global financial markets may also have an impact on the ability of third parties to satisfy their obligationsto us or increase our exposure to currency fluctuations in countries where we operate. In addition, in connection with our acquisition of Sky, we incurred andassumed a significant amount of additional debt. If our businesses are negatively impacted by weak economic conditions, we may not be able to reduce theamount of our debt outstanding as quickly as expected. Further, a significant increase in interest rates or disruption in the global financial markets may affectour ability to obtain financing or to refinance existing debt on acceptable terms, if at all, and could increase the cost of our borrowings.Acquisitions and other strategic initiatives present many risks, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals that we had contemplated.From time to time, we make acquisitions and investments and may pursue other strategic initiatives, including our 2018 acquisition of Sky and 2017 launchof a wireless phone service using virtual network operator rights. In connection with such acquisitions and strategic initiatives, we may incur unanticipatedexpenses, fail to realize anticipated benefits and synergies, have difficulty incorporating an acquired or new line of business, disrupt relationships withcurrent and new employees, customers and vendors, incur significant debt, or have to delay or not proceed with announced transactions or initiatives.Additionally, federal regulatory agencies such as the FCC or DOJ or international regulators may impose restrictions on the operation of our businesses as aresult of our seeking regulatory approvals for any significant acquisitions and strategic initiatives, or may dissuade us from pursing certain transactions. Theoccurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.Unfavorable litigation or governmental investigation results could require us to pay significant amounts or lead to onerous operating procedures.We are subject from time to time to a number of lawsuits both in the United States and in foreign countries, including claims relating to competition,intellectual property rights (including patents), employment and labor matters, personal injury and propertyComcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K27 Table of Contentsdamage, customer privacy, regulatory requirements, advertising, marketing and selling practices, and credit and collection issues. We also spend substantialresources complying with various regulatory and government standards, including any related investigations and litigation. We may incur significantexpenses defending any such suit or government charge and may be required to pay amounts or otherwise change our operations in ways that could adverselyimpact our businesses, results of operations or financial condition.Labor disputes, whether involving employees or sports organizations, may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our businesses.Many of NBCUniversal’s employees, including writers, directors, actors, technical and production personnel and others, as well as some of our on-air andcreative talent employees, are covered by collective bargaining agreements or works councils. Most of NBCUniversal’s collective bargaining agreements areindustry-wide agreements, and we may lack practical control over the negotiations and terms of the agreements. If we are unable to reach agreement with alabor union before the expiration of a collective bargaining agreement, our employees who were covered by that agreement may have a right to strike or takeother actions that could adversely affect us, which could disrupt our operations and reduce our revenue, and the resolution of any disputes may increase ourcosts. There can be no assurance that we will renew our collective bargaining agreements as they expire or that we can renew them on favorable terms orwithout any work stoppages.In addition, our cable networks and broadcast television networks have programming rights agreements of varying scope and duration with various sportsorganizations to broadcast and produce sporting events, including certain NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB games. Labor disputes in these and other sportsorganizations could have an adverse effect on our businesses.The loss of key management personnel or popular on-air and creative talent could have an adverse effect on our businesses.We rely on certain key management personnel in the operation of our businesses. While we maintain long-term and emergency transition plans for keymanagement personnel and believe we could either identify internal candidates or attract outside candidates to fill any vacancy created by the loss of anykey management personnel, the loss of one or more of our key management personnel could have a negative impact on our businesses.In addition, our cable networks, broadcast television, filmed entertainment and Sky businesses depend on the abilities and expertise of on-air and creativetalent. If we fail to attract or retain on-air or creative talent, if the costs to attract or retain such talent increase materially, if we need to make significanttermination payments, or if these individuals lose their current appeal, our businesses could be adversely affected.We face risks relating to doing business internationally that could adversely affect our businesses.We, primarily through Sky and NBCUniversal, operate our businesses worldwide. There are risks inherent in doing business internationally, including globalfinancial market turmoil; economic volatility and global economic slowdown; currency exchange rate fluctuations and inflationary pressures; therequirements of local laws and customs relating to the publication and distribution of content and the display and sale of advertising; import or exportrestrictions and changes in trade regulations; difficulties in developing, staffing and managing foreign operations; issues related to occupational safety andadherence to diverse local labor laws and regulations; and potentially adverse tax developments. Sky’s businesses in particular are also subject to risksrelating to uncertainties and effects of the implementation of the United Kingdom’s referendum to withdraw membership from the EU (referred to as “Brexit”),including financial, legal, tax and trade implications. In addition, doing business internationally subjects us to risks relating to political or social unrest, aswell as corruption and government regulation, including U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, that impose stringentrequirements on how we conduct our foreign operations. If any of these events occur, our businesses may be adversely affected. 28Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsOur Class B common stock has substantial voting rights and separate approval rights over several potentially material transactions, and ourChairman and CEO has considerable influence over our company through his beneficial ownership of our Class B common stock.Our Class B common stock has a non-dilutable 33 1/3% of the combined voting power of our Class A and Class B common stock.

This peer group (the “new peer group index”) consists of our common stock, DISHNetwork Corporation (Class A), Charter Communications, Inc., AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., CenturyLink, Inc., T-Mobile US, Inc., and SprintCorporation (the “transmission and distribution subgroup”); and Walt Disney Company, Viacom Inc. (Class B), Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (Class A),Discovery, Inc. (Class A), and CBS Corporation (Class B) (the “media subgroup”). T-Mobile US, Inc. and Discovery, Inc. (Class A) were added to the new peergroup index in 2018.The prior peer group (the “prior peer group index”) consists of our common stock, DISH Network Corporation (Class A), Charter Communications, Inc.,AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., CenturyLink, Inc., and Sprint Corporation (the “transmission and distribution subgroup”); and Time Warner Inc.(which is included through June 14, 2018 when it merged with AT&T Inc.), Walt Disney Company, Viacom Inc. (Class B), Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc.(Class A), and CBS Corporation (Class B) (the “media subgroup”).Both the prior peer group and new peer group are constructed as a composite peer group in which the transmission and distribution subgroup is weighted61% and the media subgroup is weighted 39% based on the respective revenue of our Cable Communications and NBCUniversal segments.

Technological changes are further intensifying and complicating thecompetitive landscape and challenging existing business models. In particular, consumers are increasingly turning to online sources for viewing andpurchasing content, which has and likely will continue to reduce the number of our video customers and subscribers to our cable networks even as it makesour high-speed internet services more valuable to consumers. In addition, the increasing number of entertainment choices available has intensified audiencefragmentation, which has and likely will continue to adversely affect the audience ratings of our cable networks and broadcast television programming.For additional information on the competition our businesses face, see Item 1: Business and Item 1A: Risk Factors. Within the Business section, refer to the“Competition” discussion, and within the Risk Factors section, refer to the risk factors entitled “Our businesses currently face a wide range of competition,and our businesses and results of operations could be adversely affected if we do not compete effectively” and “Changes in consumer behavior driven byonline video distribution platforms for viewing content could adversely affect our businesses and challenge existing business models.”Seasonality and CyclicalityEach of our businesses is subject to seasonal and cyclical variations.

Capital expenditures increasedin our Cable Communications segment as we continue to invest in network capacity and in customer premise equipment, primarily for our X1 platform, cloudDVR technology and wireless gateways. Certain assets in our Cable Communications segment have relatively short estimated useful lives, which alsocontributed to the increase in depreciation expense in 2018 and 2017 and will continue to increase depreciation expense in 2019. NBCUniversaldepreciation and amortization expense also increased primarily due to our continued investment in new attractions in our Theme Parks segment, 38Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentsincluding for Universal Studios Japan.

Amounts primarily relate to customer relationship intangible assets recorded in connection with the NBCUniversaltransaction in 2011, and 2018 included $267 million related to our preliminary estimates of Sky customer relationship intangible assets for the periodOctober 9, 2018 to December 31, 2018. Amounts related to Sky are estimates and subject to change as we finalize acquisition accounting (see Note 8 toComcast’s consolidated financial statements for additional information).Consolidated Other Operating GainsConsolidated other operating gains for 2018 included $200 million related to the sale of a controlling interest in our arena management-related businesses inCorporate and other and $141 million related to the sale of a business in our Filmed Entertainment segment (see Note 10 to Comcast’s consolidated financialstatements).

We recognize our share of these gains and losses in equity in net income(losses) of investees, net. The losses at Hulu were driven by its higher programming, advertising and marketing costs, and higher other administrativeexpenses.

Our effective income tax rate in 2018 was 22.2%, which included the effects of the 2017 Tax Actand also an income tax benefit of $128 million recognized during the first quarter of 2018 related to the enactment of additional federal tax legislation in2018, which were partially offset by higher taxable income from operations and $148 million of income tax expense due to state and federal tax law changesthat were enacted in the third quarter of 2018. The 2017 Tax Act, among other things, reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35%,effective January 1, 2018. We recognized an income tax benefit of $244 million during the fourth quarter of 2018 related to a reduction of our net deferredtax liability as a result of the acquisition of Sky. See Note 5 to Comcast’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion on tax reform.Our effective income tax rate in 2017 was a benefit of 49.3%. The enactment of the 2017 Tax Act resulted in a net income tax benefit of $12.7 billion in2017, primarily related to a reduction of our net deferred tax liability. Excluding this tax benefit, our effective income tax rate in 2017 would have been anexpense of 33.3%.Additionally, in 2017, we prospectively adopted certain provisions of the new accounting guidance related to share-based compensation, which resulted inan increase in income tax benefit of $297 million in 2017. Our income tax benefit also increased $121 million due to the impact of an internal legalreorganization in the third quarter of 2017, which was partially offset by a decrease of $53 million due to changes in state tax laws. Our effective income taxrate in 2016 was an expense of 37.0%.Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Subsidiary Preferred StockThe decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiary preferred stock in 2018 was primarily due to thenoncontrolling interest holders’ share of the loss related to Universal Beijing Resort. In 2018, we entered into an agreement with a consortium of Chinesestate-owned companies to build and operate a Universal theme park and resort in Beijing, China and obtained a 30% interest in Universal Beijing Resort. SeeNote 8 to Comcast’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion on noncontrolling interest related to Universal Beijing Resort. The decrease innet income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiary preferred stock in 2017 was primarily due to our acquisition of the remaininginterests in Universal Studios Japan that we did not already own in April 2017.Segment Operating ResultsOur segment operating results are presented based on how we assess operating performance and internally report financial information. We use AdjustedEBITDA as the measure of profit or loss for our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation beforenet income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiary preferred stock, income tax benefit (expense), investment and otherincome (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixedand intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact ofcertain events, gains, losses or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operatingperformance. Adjusted EBITDA for our segments is not a non-GAAP financial measure. We reconcile the aggregate amount of Adjusted EBITDA for ourreportable business segments to consolidated income before income taxes in the notes to our consolidated financial statements (see Note 2 to Comcast’sconsolidated financial statements and NBCUniversal’s consolidated financial statements).To be consistent with our current management reporting presentation, certain 2017 and 2016 operating results were reclassified within the CableCommunications segment and certain 2018, 2017 and 2016 operating results were reclassified related to certain NBCUniversal businesses now presented inthe Sky segment. 40Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsCable Communications Segment Results of OperationsRevenue and Adjusted EBITDA Residential Customer Relationships(in billions) (in millions) Year ended December 31 (in millions)201820172016% Change 2017 to 2018% Change 2016 to 2017Revenue Residential: High-speed internet$17,144$15,681$14,4219.3 %8.7 %Video22,45522,87422,204(1.8)3.0Voice3,9604,0904,159(3.2)(1.7)Business services7,1296,4375,70510.712.8Advertising2,7952,4502,62614.1(6.7)Other1,6601,5381,4627.95.2Total revenue55,14353,07050,5773.94.9Operating costs and expenses Programming13,24912,90711,5762.711.5Technical and product support6,5306,2936,2073.81.4Customer service2,3862,4482,481(2.6)(1.3)Advertising, marketing and promotion3,7473,7113,6741.01.0Franchise and other regulatory fees1,5661,5891,550(1.5)2.5Other5,2185,0545,0753.2(0.4)Total operating costs and expenses32,69632,00230,5632.24.7Adjusted EBITDA$22,447$21,068$20,0146.5 %5.3 %Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K41 Table of ContentsCustomer Metrics Total CustomersNet Additional Customers(in thousands, except per customer amounts)201820172016201820172016Customer relationships Residential customer relationships28,04627,16826,533878635705Business services customer relationships2,3032,1792,044123135157Total customer relationships30,34929,34728,5771,002770862Average monthly total revenue per customer relationship$153.95$152.70$149.75 Average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customerrelationship$62.67$60.62$59.26 Residential customer relationships mix Single product customers9,0748,1967,756878439110Double product customers9,0929,0568,79736259319Triple and quad product customers9,8809,9169,980(36)(64)277High-speed internet Residential customers25,09723,86322,8271,2341,0361,218Business services customers2,1252,0061,874120132155Total high-speed internet customers27,22225,86924,7011,3531,1681,373Video Residential customers20,95921,30321,488(344)(186)103Business services customers1,0271,0541,019(27)3557Total video customers21,98622,35722,508(370)(151)161Voice Residential customers10,15310,31610,546(163)(231)110Business services customers1,2971,2361,1406096101Total voice customers11,44911,55211,687(103)(135)211Security and automation Security and automation customers1,3171,131891186239279Customer metrics are presented based on actual amounts. Minor differences may exist due to rounding. For multiple dwelling units (“MDUs”), including buildings located on collegecampuses, whose residents have the ability to receive additional cable services, such as additional programming choices or our high-definition video (“HD”) or digital video recorder(“DVR”) advanced services, we count and report customers based on the number of potential billable relationships within each MDU. For MDUs whose residents are not able toreceive additional cable services, the MDU is counted as a single customer. In 2017, we began to offer prepaid services that allow customers to prepay for at least 30 days of service.Residential high-speed internet and video customers as of December 31, 2018 included prepaid customers totaling approximately 135,000 and 5,000, respectively. Customerrelationships represent the number of residential and business customers that subscribe to at least one of our cable services. Single product, double product, and triple and quadproduct customers represent residential customers that subscribe to one, two, or three and four of our cable services, respectively.Average monthly total revenue per customer relationship for 2018 and 2017 was $153.95 and $152.70, respectively. This metric is impacted by rateadjustments and changes in the types and levels of services received by our residential and business services customers, as well as changes in advertisingrevenue. While revenue from our residential high-speed internet, video and voice services are also impacted by changes in the allocation of revenue amongservices sold in a bundle, the allocation does not impact average monthly total revenue per customer relationship.Average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customer relationship for 2018 and 2017 was $62.67 and $60.62, respectively. Each of our cable services has adifferent contribution to operating margin. We use average monthly Adjusted EBITDA per customer relationship to evaluate the profitability of our customerbase across our service offerings. We believe this metric is useful particularly as we continue to focus on growing our higher-margin businesses, includingresidential high-speed internet and business services.Cable Communications Segment – RevenueCable Communications is one of the nation’s largest providers of high-speed internet, video, voice and security and automation services (“cable services”) toresidential customers under the Xfinity brand; we also provide these and other services to business customers and sell advertising. Our CableCommunications segment generates revenue primarily from residential and business customers that subscribe to our cable services, which we marketindividually and as bundled services. Our Cable Communications segment also generates revenue from selling through our allocation of scheduledadvertising time on cable networks that is received as part of distribution agreements with these networks to local, regional and national advertisers. 42Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsHigh-Speed InternetCable Communications offers high-speed internet services with downstream speeds that range up to 1 gigabit per second (“Gbps”) and fiber-based speeds thatrange up to 2 Gbps.

Transactional revenue includes the purchase of physicaland digital content, OTT daily, weekly and monthly passes, and pay-per-view programming.ContentContent revenue is derived from the distribution of Sky’s owned television channels on third-party platforms and the licensing of owned programming tothird-party video providers.AdvertisingAdvertising revenue is derived from the sale of advertising and sponsorships across Sky’s owned television channels and where it represents the sales effortsof third-party channels.Sky Segment – Operating Costs and ExpensesProgramming and Production CostsProgramming and production costs primarily relate to content originating on Sky’s channels. These costs include the amortization of owned and acquiredprogramming costs, sports rights, direct production costs, residual and participation payments, production overhead, and on-air talent costs. These expensesalso include the fees associated with programming distribution agreements for channels owned by third parties, which are generally based on the number ofcustomers who are able to watch the programming and the platforms on which the content is provided.Direct Network CostsDirect network costs primarily include costs directly related to the supply of high-speed internet and voice services, including wireless phone services, toSky’s customers. This includes call costs, monthly wholesale access fees and other variable costs associated with our network. In addition, it includes the costof mobile handsets sold to customers.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K53 Table of ContentsOtherOther expenses include costs related to marketing, subscriber management, supply chain, transmission, technology, fixed networks and generaladministrative costs.Corporate and Other Results of OperationsYear ended December 31 (in millions)201820172016% Change 2017 to 2018% Change 2016 to 2017Revenue$1,403$1,193$88617.5 %34.7 %Operating costs and expenses3,4282,8151,73521.762.3Adjustment for legal settlement(125)(250)—NMNMAdjustment for Sky transaction-related costs(355)——NMNMAdjusted EBITDA$(1,545)$(1,372)$(849)(12.6)%(61.6)%Corporate and Other – RevenueOther revenue primarily relates to revenue from business development initiatives, such as our wireless phone service that launched in 2017, and fromComcast Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Other revenue increased in 2018 primarily due to:•Increase in revenue associated with our wireless phone service•Decrease in revenue due to the sale of a controlling interest in our arena management-related businesses in the second quarter of 2018 and the sale ofa business in the third quarter of 2017Corporate and Other – Operating Costs and ExpensesCorporate and Other operating costs and expenses primarily include overhead and personnel costs, the costs of other business development initiatives,including our wireless phone service, and operating costs and expenses associated with Comcast Spectacor.Corporate and Other operating costs and expenses increased in 2018 primarily due to:•Increase in expenses associated with our wireless phone service•Increase in expenses directly related to the Sky transaction, including the U.K. share acquisition tax and success-based investment banker fees, andlegal, accounting and valuation services, as well as certain other impacts resulting from the Sky transaction, such as expenses resulting from thereplacement of share-based compensation awards•Decrease in operating costs and expenses due to the sale of a controlling interest in our arena management-related businesses in the second quarterof 2018 and the sale of a business in the third quarter of 2017•Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA excludes $355 million of costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2018 in connection with the Sky transaction,including the U.K. share acquisition tax and success-based investment banker fees, and $125 million of expenses related to a legal settlementCorporate and Other operating costs and expenses increased in 2017 primarily due to:•Increase in expenses associated with our new wireless phone service•Increase of $171 million related to a one-time special cash bonus for eligible employees•Corporate and Other Adjusted EBITDA excludes $250 million of expense related to a legal settlement in 2017Non-GAAP Financial MeasureConsolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance and is defined as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation beforenet income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiary preferred stock, income tax benefit (expense), investment and otherincome (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixedand intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact ofcertain events, gains, losses or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operatingperformance. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the 54Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentscapital-intensive nature of certain of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital andtax structures, and by our investment activities, including the results of entities that we do not consolidate, as our management excludes these results whenevaluating our operating performance. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operatingperformance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. It is also a significantperformance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. Additionally, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is oneof the bases for comparing our operating performance with that of other companies in our industries, although our measure of consolidated Adjusted EBITDAmay not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We reconcile consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable toComcast Corporation. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable toComcast Corporation, or net cash provided by operating activities that we have reported in accordance with GAAP.Reconciliation from Net Income Attributable to Comcast Corporation to Adjusted EBITDAYear ended December 31 (in millions)201820172016Net income attributable to Comcast Corporation$11,731$22,735$8,678Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiary preferred stock131187350Income tax (benefit) expense3,380(7,569)5,298Investment and other (income) loss, net225(421)(437)Interest expense3,5423,0862,942Depreciation8,2817,9147,464Amortization2,7362,2161,962Other operating gains(341)(442)—Adjustment for Sky transaction-related costs355——Adjustment for legal settlement125250—Adjusted EBITDA$30,165$27,956$26,257Liquidity and Capital ResourcesOur businesses generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our current and long-termliquidity and capital requirements, including fixed charges, through our cash flows from operating activities; existing cash, cash equivalents andinvestments; available borrowings under our existing credit facilities; and our ability to obtain future external financing. We anticipate that we will continueto use a substantial portion of our cash flows in repaying our debt obligations, funding our capital expenditures, investing in business opportunities andreturning capital to shareholders.We also maintain significant availability under our revolving credit facilities and our commercial paper programs to meet our short-term liquidityrequirements. Our commercial paper programs provide a lower-cost source of borrowing to fund our short-term working capital requirements. See Note 7 toComcast’s consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Comcast, NBCUniversal Enterprise and Sky revolving credit facilities and therelated guarantees. As of December 31, 2018, amounts available under our consolidated revolving credit facilities, net of amounts outstanding under ourcommercial paper programs and outstanding letters of credit, totaled $9.2 billion, which included $0.9 billion available under the NBCUniversal Enterpriserevolving credit facility and $0.7 billion available under the Sky revolving credit facility.In the fourth quarter of 2018, we acquired a 100% interest in Sky for total cash consideration of £30.2 billion (approximately $39.4 billion using theexchange rates on the purchase dates). To finance the acquisition, we used funds from unsecured term loans and senior unsecured fixed and floating ratenotes. The unsecured term loans and senior notes are guaranteed by Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. The remaining amount of consideration was fundedusing cash on hand. As of October 9, 2018, Sky had outstanding indebtedness that is now consolidated in our financial statements with an aggregate fairvalue of approximately $11.2 billion using the exchange rates as of such date, which is not guaranteed by us, Comcast Cable or NBCUniversal as ofDecember 31, 2018.We, NBCUniversal and Comcast Cable are subject to the covenants and restrictions set forth in the indentures governing our public debt securities and in thecredit agreements governing the Comcast revolving credit facility. The financial covenant in the credit facility pertains to leverage, which is the ratio of debtto EBITDA, as defined in the credit facility. We test for compliance with this financial covenant on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2018, we met thisfinancial covenant by a significant margin. We do not expect to have to reduce debt or improve operating results in order to continue to comply with thisfinancial covenant. In addition, the Sky revolving credit facility contains two financial covenants, a ratio of net debt to EBITDA and a ratio of EBITDA to netinterest payable, as defined in the Sky credit facility. The Universal Studios Japan term loans also contain certain financial covenants. As of December 31,2018, Sky and Universal Studios Japan were in compliance with all of these covenants.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K55 Table of ContentsOperating ActivitiesComponents of Net Cash Provided by Operating ActivitiesYear ended December 31 (in millions)201820172016Operating income$19,009$18,018$16,831Depreciation, amortization and other operating gains10,6769,6889,426Noncash share-based compensation826751640Changes in operating assets and liabilities(1,313)(546)(1,404)Payments of interest(2,897)(2,820)(2,565)Payments of income taxes(2,355)(4,057)(3,693)Proceeds from investments and other351227456Net cash provided by operating activities$24,297$21,261$19,691The variance in changes in operating assets and liabilities in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily related to the timing of film and television costs at Sky,our broadcast of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics and continued growth in our wireless phone service offering, partially offset by our broadcast of the 2018Super Bowl. The variance in changes in operating assets and liabilities in 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily due to the timing of film and televisionproduction spending and related costs, net of amortization; the recognition of deferred revenue associated with our broadcast of the 2016 Rio Olympics; thepayment in 2016 of a tax receivable agreement that DreamWorks Animation entered into with one of its former stockholders; and the launch in 2017 of ourwireless phone service offering.The increases in interest payments in 2018 and 2017 were primarily due to higher levels of debt outstanding, including the issuance of new debt in 2018associated with the financing of the Sky transaction.The decrease in income tax payments in 2018 was primarily due to federal income tax overpayments of $824 million related to the 2017 tax year that wereapplied to reduce tax payments in the current year, as well as a reduction in the federal income tax rate and additional depreciation deductions allowed underthe 2017 Tax Act. This decrease was partially offset by higher taxable income from operations in the current year. The increase in income tax payments in2017 was primarily due to higher taxable income from operations and payments associated with tax disputes, partially offset by tax deductions resulting fromour senior notes exchange and additional depreciation deductions allowed under the 2017 Tax Act.Investing ActivitiesNet cash used in investing activities in 2018 consisted primarily of cash paid for acquisitions, cash paid for capital expenditures, cash paid for intangibleassets and purchases of investments. Net cash used in investing activities in 2017 consisted primarily of cash paid for capital expenditures, purchases ofinvestments and intangible assets. Net cash used in investing activities in 2016 consisted primarily of cash paid for capital expenditures, acquisitions,deposits, purchase of investments and intangible assets.Acquisitions, Net of Cash AcquiredIn the fourth quarter 2018, we acquired Sky through a series of transactions.In August 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of DreamWorks Animation.Capital ExpendituresOur most significant recurring investing activity has been capital expenditures in our Cable Communications segment, and we expect that this will continuein the future.

Cable Communications capital expenditures increased 4.7% in 2017 primarily due to continued investment in scalableinfrastructure to increase network capacity and increased investment in line extensions for the expansion of business services and residential. The increase in2017 was partially offset by a decrease in spending on customer premise equipment and support capital. 56Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsCapital expenditures in our NBCUniversal segments increased 15.2% to $1.7 billion in 2018 primarily due to an increase in spending at our Universal ThemeParks. Capital expenditures in our NBCUniversal segments increased 3.4% to $1.5 billion in 2017 primarily due to continued investment at our Theme Parkssegment, which was partially offset by the timing of real estate and infrastructure investment.Capital expenditures in our Sky segment from October 9, 2018 to December 31, 2018 totaled $222 million, reflecting continued deployment of Sky Q.We expect our capital expenditures for 2019 will be focused on continued investment in scalable infrastructure to increase network capacity in our CableCommunications segment; increased investment in line extensions for the expansion of both business services and residential; and the continueddeployment of wireless gateways, our X1 platform, cloud DVR technology, Sky Q and international OTT platforms. In addition, we expect to continue toinvest in existing and new attractions at our Universal theme parks. Capital expenditures for subsequent years will depend on numerous factors, includingacquisitions, competition, changes in technology, regulatory changes, the timing and rate of deployment of new services, the capacity required for existingservices, and the timing of new attractions at our theme parks.Cash Paid for Intangible AssetsIn 2018, cash paid for intangible assets consisted primarily of expenditures for software in our Cable Communication segment, and to a lesser extent, ourNBCUniversal segment. Cash paid for intangible assets in 2017 and 2016 consisted primarily of expenditures in our Cable Communications segment.Acquisitions and Construction of Real Estate PropertiesAcquisitions and construction of real estate properties in 2018, 2017 and 2016 primarily included the construction of the Comcast Technology Center inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania.Construction of Universal Beijing ResortConstruction of Universal Beijing Resort in 2018 and 2017 primarily included costs related to the construction of the Universal theme park and resort inBeijing, China.Proceeds from Sales of Businesses and InvestmentsProceeds from sales of businesses and investments in 2016 were primarily related to the sale of our investment in The Weather Channel’s product andtechnology business.Purchases of InvestmentsPurchases of investments in 2018 were primarily related to capital contributions to Atairos and NBCUniversal’s capital contributions to Hulu. Purchases ofinvestments in 2017 were primarily related to capital contributions to Atairos, our investment in Snap Inc. and NBCUniversal’s capital contributions in Hulu.Purchases of investments in 2016 were primarily related to capital contributions to Atairos and NBCUniversal’s investment in BuzzFeed, Inc.DepositsOn April 13, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) announced the results of its spectrum auction. In connection with the auction, weacquired the rights to $1.7 billion of spectrum. We had previously made a deposit of $1.8 billion to participate in the auction in 2016 and received a refundfor amounts in excess of the purchase price in 2017.OtherOther investing activities in 2018 were primarily related to proceeds received from the sale of an investment and proceeds from the settlement of derivativecontracts. Other investing activities in 2017 were primarily related to proceeds of $482 million received by NBCUniversal in the FCC auction for therelinquishment of spectrum rights (see Note 8 to Comcast’s consolidated financial statements and Note 7 to NBCUniversal’s consolidated financialstatements).Financing ActivitiesNet cash provided by financing activities in 2018 consisted primarily of proceeds from borrowings, including the financing of the Sky acquisition, whichwere partially offset by repayments of debt, repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program and employee plans, and dividend payments.Net cash used in financing activities in 2017 and 2016 consisted primarily of repayments of debt, repurchases of common stock under our repurchaseprogram and employee plans, and dividend payments, which were partially offset by proceeds from borrowings. Proceeds from borrowings fluctuate from yearto year based on the amounts paid to fund acquisitions, including Sky in 2018, and debt repayments. Net cash used in financing activities in 2017 alsoincluded the purchase of the remaining 49% noncontrolling interests in Universal Studios Japan. Net cash used in financing activities in 2016 also includedour purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest in Comcast Spectacor.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K57 Table of ContentsWe have made, and may from time to time in the future make, optional repayments on our debt obligations, which may include repurchases or exchanges ofour outstanding public notes and debentures, depending on various factors, such as market conditions. See Note 7 to Comcast’s consolidated financialstatements and Note 6 to NBCUniversal’s consolidated financial statements for additional information on our financing activities.Share Repurchases and DividendsIn 2018, we repurchased a total of 140 million shares of our Class A common stock for $5.0 billion under our share repurchase program authorization.Effective January 1, 2017, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase program authorization to a total of $12.0 billion, which does not have anexpiration date. As of December 31, 2018, $2.0 billion remained under this authorization. Under the authorization, we may repurchase shares in the openmarket or in private transactions. We plan to pause our common stock repurchase program in 2019 to accelerate the reduction of indebtedness we incurred inconnection with the acquisition of Sky.Our Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends totaling $3.5 billion in 2018. We paid dividends of $3.4 billion in 2018. In January 2019, our Board ofDirectors approved a 10% increase in our dividend to $0.84 per share on an annualized basis. We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends, althougheach dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors.The chart below summarizes our share repurchases under our publicly announced share repurchase program authorization and dividends paid in 2018, 2017and 2016. In addition, we paid $320 million, $435 million and $352 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to employee taxes associated withthe administration of our share-based compensation plans.Share Repurchases Under Share Repurchase Program Authorization and Dividends Paid(in billions) Contractual Obligations Payment Due by PeriodAs of December 31, 2018 (in millions)TotalYear 1Years 2-3Years 4-5More than 5Debt obligations(a)$112,947$4,361$19,414$16,534$72,638Capital lease obligations498529525326Operating lease obligations5,2637591,3258942,285Purchase obligations(b)78,01026,65022,4239,15319,784Other long-term liabilities reflected on the balance sheet(c)6,0123662,9417561,949Total(d)(e)$202,730$32,188$46,198$27,362$96,982Refer to Note 7 and Note 17 to Comcast’s consolidated financial statements.(a)Excludes interest payments.(b)Purchase obligations consist of agreements to purchase goods and services that are legally binding on us and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities tobe purchased and price provisions. Our purchase obligations related to our Cable Communications and Sky segments, and other business development initiatives includeprogramming contracts with cable networks and local broadcast television stations; contracts with customer premise equipment manufacturers; contracts with communicationsvendors and multichannel video providers for which we provide advertising sales representation; contracts to 58Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentsacquire handsets and other equipment; and other contracts entered into in the normal course of business. Cable Communications’ and Sky’s programming contracts includeamounts payable under fixed or minimum guaranteed commitments and do not represent the total fees that are expected to be paid under programming contracts, which we expectto be significantly higher because these contracts are generally based on the number of subscribers receiving the programming. Our purchase obligations related to ourNBCUniversal and Sky segments include commitments to acquire film and television programming, including broadcast rights relating to sporting events, such as the Olympics, aswell as obligations under various creative talent agreements, including obligations to actors, producers and television personalities, and various other television commitments.Purchase obligations do not include contracts with immaterial future commitments.(c)Other long-term liabilities reflected on the balance sheet consist primarily of subsidiary preferred shares; deferred compensation obligations; and postretirement, pension andpostemployment benefit obligations. A contractual obligation with a carrying value of $1.1 billion is not included in the table above because it is uncertain if the arrangement willbe settled. The contractual obligation involves an interest held by a third party in the revenue of certain theme parks. The arrangement provides the counterparty with the right toperiodic payments associated with current period revenue and, beginning in June 2017, the option to require NBCUniversal to purchase the interest for cash in an amount based ona contractual formula. The contractual formula is based on an average of specified historical theme park revenue at the time of exercise, which amount could be significantlyhigher than the carrying value. As of December 31, 2018, the value of the contractual obligation was $1.6 billion, based on inputs to the contractual formula as of that date. SeeNote 17 to Comcast’s consolidated financial statements for additional information related to this arrangement. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $1.0 billion and theassociated interest and penalties are not included in the table above because it is uncertain if or when these amounts will become payable. Payments of $2.9 billion of participationsand residuals are also not included in the table above because we cannot make a reliable estimate of the period in which these obligations will be settled.(d)Our contractual obligations do not include our commitment to invest up to $5 billion at any one time as an investor in Atairos due to our inability to estimate the timing of thisfunding.

We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various otherassumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value ofassets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.We believe our judgments and related estimates associated with the valuation and impairment testing of our cable franchise rights and the accounting for filmand television costs are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. As a result of the Sky transaction, one additional area has beenidentified as critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The one additional critical accounting judgment and estimate is thevaluation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting judgments andestimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed our disclosures relating to them, which are presentedbelow. See Notes 4, 8 and 12 to Comcast’s consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our accounting policies with respect to these items.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K59 Table of ContentsValuation and Impairment Testing of Cable Franchise RightsOur cable franchise rights assets result from agreements we have with state and local governments that allow us to construct and operate a cable businesswithin a specified geographic area. The value of a franchise is derived from the economic benefits we receive from the right to solicit new customers and tomarket additional services in a particular service area. The amounts we record for cable franchise rights are primarily a result of cable system acquisitions.Typically when we acquire a cable system, the most significant asset we record is the value of the cable franchise rights. Often these cable system acquisitionsinclude multiple franchise areas. We currently serve approximately 6,400 franchise areas in the United States.We have concluded that our cable franchise rights have an indefinite useful life since there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic orother factors which limit the period over which these rights will contribute to our cash flows. Accordingly, we do not amortize our cable franchise rights butwe assess their carrying values annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may exceed thefair value (“impairment testing”).For the purpose of our impairment testing, we have grouped the recorded values of our various cable franchise rights into our three Cable Communicationsdivisions or units of account. We evaluate the unit of account periodically to ensure our impairment testing is performed at an appropriate level.The annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likelythan not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. An entity may choose to perform the qualitative assessment or an entity may bypassthe qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value ofthe indefinite-lived intangible asset is, more likely than not, less than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required. When performing aquantitative assessment, we estimate the fair value of our cable franchise rights primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis that involves significantjudgment. When analyzing the fair values indicated under the discounted cash flow models, we also consider multiples of Adjusted EBITDA generated bythe underlying assets, current market transactions and profitability information.In 2018, we performed a quantitative assessment of our cable franchise rights. Based on this assessment, the estimated fair values of our franchise rightsexceeded the carrying value of the Northeast, Central and West divisions by 29%, 46% and 58%, respectively.Since the adoption of the accounting guidance related to goodwill and intangible assets in 2002, we have not recorded any significant impairment charges tocable franchise rights.We could record impairment charges in the future if there are changes in long-term market conditions, in expected future operating results, or in federal orstate regulations that prevent us from recovering the carrying value of these cable franchise rights. Assumptions made about increased competition andeconomic conditions could also impact the results of any qualitative assessment and the valuations used in future annual quantitative impairment testing andresult in a reduction in the fair values of our cable franchise rights. In addition, a future change in the unit of account could result in the recognition of animpairment charge.Film and Television CostsWe capitalize film and television production costs, including direct costs, production overhead, print costs, development costs and interest. We amortizecapitalized film and television production costs, including acquired libraries, and accrue costs associated with participation and residual payments toprogramming and production expenses. We generally record the amortization and the accrued costs using the individual film forecast computation method,which amortizes the costs using the ratio of the current period’s revenue to estimated total remaining revenue from all sources (“ultimate revenue”). Estimatesof ultimate revenue have a significant impact on how quickly capitalized costs are amortized and, therefore, are updated regularly.Our estimates of ultimate revenue for films generally include revenue from all sources that are expected to be earned within 10 years from the date of a film’sinitial release. These estimates are based on the historical performance of similar content, as well as factors unique to the content itself. The most sensitivefactor affecting our estimate of ultimate revenue for a film intended for theatrical release is the film’s theatrical performance, as subsequent revenue from thelicensing and sale of a film has historically exhibited a high correlation to its theatrical performance. Upon a film’s release, our estimates of revenue fromsucceeding markets, including from content licensing across multiple platforms and home entertainment sales, are revised based on historical relationshipsand an analysis of current market trends.With respect to television series or other owned television programming, the most sensitive factor affecting our estimate of ultimate revenue is whether theseries can be successfully licensed beyond its initial license. Initial estimates of ultimate revenue are limited to the amount of revenue contracted for eachepisode under the initial license. Once it is determined that a television series or other owned television programming can be licensed for subsequentplatforms, revenue estimates for these platforms, such as U.S. and international syndication, home entertainment, and other distribution platforms, areincluded in ultimate revenue. Revenue estimates for produced episodes include revenue expected to be earned within 10 years of delivery of the initialepisode or, if still in production, 60Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contents5 years from the delivery of the most recent episode, if later.We capitalize the costs of programming content that we license but do not own, including rights to multiyear, live-event sports programming, at the earlier ofwhen payments are made for the programming or when the license period begins and the content is made available for use. We amortize capitalizedprogramming costs as the associated programs are broadcast. We generally amortize multiyear, live-event sports programming rights using the ratio of thecurrent period revenue to the estimated ultimate revenue or under the terms of the contract.Capitalized film and television costs are subject to impairment testing when certain triggering events are identified. If the fair value of a production were tofall below its unamortized cost, we would record an adjustment for the amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs exceed the production’s fair value.The fair value assessment is generally based on estimated future discounted cash flows, which are supported by our internal forecasts. Adjustments tocapitalized film production costs were not material in any of the periods presented.Fair Value of Acquisition-Related Assets and LiabilitiesWe allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. In determining fairvalue, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts. Management’s estimates of fair value are based onassumptions believed to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain. As part of the estimation process, third-party valuation specialists are engaged toassist in the valuation of certain of these assets and liabilities.Our judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of acquired assets and liabilities, as well as asset lives and depreciation andamortization methods, have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For instance, the determination of asset lives impacts our results ofoperations as different types of assets have different useful lives and certain assets may be considered to have indefinite useful lives.Due to the timing of the Sky acquisition, the allocation of purchase price is based on preliminary estimates and is subject to change. Below is a summary ofthe methodologies and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of certain of Sky’s assets and liabilities for which preliminary estimates weredetermined. Other assets, such as property and equipment, have been recorded based on historical cost as no better estimate was available as of December 31,2018.Intangible AssetsIntangible assets primarily consist of our estimates of fair value for finite-lived customer relationships, and indefinite-lived trade names.Customer relationships were valued using a multiperiod cash flow model, a form of the income approach. This measure of fair value requires considerablejudgments about future events, including attrition, contract renewal estimates and technology changes.In determining the estimated lives and method of amortization for finite-lived intangibles, we use a method and life that closely follows the undiscountedcash flows over the estimated life of the asset.Trade names were valued using the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach. This measure of fair value requires considerable judgmentabout the value a market participant would be willing to pay in order to achieve the benefits associated with the trade name.Contractual ObligationsContractual obligations were adjusted to market rates using a combination of discounted cash flows and market assumptions, when available.Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskInterest Rate Risk Management We maintain a mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt and we are exposed to the market risk of adverse changes in interest rates. In order to manage the costand volatility relating to the interest cost of our outstanding debt, we enter into various interest rate risk management derivative transactions in accordancewith our policy.We monitor our exposure to the risk of adverse changes in interest rates through the use of techniques that include market valuation and sensitivity analyses.We do not engage in any speculative or leveraged derivative transactions.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K61 Table of ContentsOur interest rate derivative financial instruments, which may include swaps, rate locks, caps and collars, represent an integral part of our interest rate riskmanagement program. Our interest rate derivative financial instruments reduced the portion of our total consolidated debt at fixed rates as of December 31,2018 to 81.5% from 82.8%.The effect of our interest rate derivative financial instruments was to decrease our consolidated interest expense by $6 million, $23 million and $36 million,in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effect of NBCUniversal’s interest rate derivative financial instruments was not material to NBCUniversal’sconsolidated financial statements for any period presented. Interest rate derivative financial instruments may have a significant effect on our consolidatedinterest expense in the future.The table below summarizes as of December 31, 2018 by contractual year of maturity the principal amount of our debt, notional amount of our interest rateinstruments, effective rates, and fair values subject to interest rate risk maintained by us.

We estimate interest rates on variable ratedebt and swaps using the relevant average implied forward rates through the year of maturity based on the yield curve in effect on December 31, 2018, plusthe applicable borrowing margin. The notional amount of each interest rate derivative financial instrument is used to calculate the interest to be paid orreceived. The notional amounts do not represent our exposure to credit loss. The estimated fair value approximates the amount of payments to be made orproceeds to be received to settle the outstanding contracts, including accrued interest.See Note 1 to each of Comcast’s and NBCUniversal’s consolidated financial statements for additional information on our accounting policies for derivativefinancial instruments.Foreign Exchange Risk ManagementWe have significant operations in a number of countries outside the United States through Sky and NBCUniversal, and certain of our operations areconducted in foreign currencies. The value of these currencies fluctuates relative to the U.S. dollar. These changes could adversely affect the U.S. dollarequivalent value of our non-U.S. dollar revenue and operating costs and expenses, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and resultsof operations in a given period or in specific territories.As part of our overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, we enter into derivative financial instrumentsrelated to a significant portion of our foreign currency exposure for transactions denominated in other than the functional currency. We enter into foreigncurrency forward contracts that change in value as currency exchange rates fluctuate to protect the functional currency equivalent value of non-functionalcurrency denominated assets, liabilities, commitments, and forecasted non-functional currency revenue and expenses. In accordance with our policy, wehedge forecasted foreign currency transactions for periods generally not to exceed 18 months. In certain circumstances, we enter into foreign exchangecontracts with initial maturities in excess of 18 months. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had foreign exchange contracts on transactions other thandebt with a total notional value of $5.8 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, including contracts at NBCUniversal of $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion,respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the aggregate estimated fair value of these foreign exchange contracts was not material.We use cross-currency swaps for foreign currency denominated debt obligations when those obligations are denominated in a currency other than thefunctional currency. Cross-currency swaps effectively convert foreign currency denominated debt to debt denominated in the functional currency in order tohedge the risk that the cash flows related to annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity may be adversely affected by fluctuations incurrency exchange rates. The gains and losses on these cross-currency swaps generally offset changes in the underlying value of the related exposures. As ofDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, we had cross-currency swaps on $5.3 billion and $0.8 billion notional amount of our foreign currency denominated 62Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of Contentsdebt, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the aggregate fair value of these cross-currency swaps was a net liability of $23 million and $80million, respectively.We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on the consolidation of our foreign operations. Beginning in 2018, we use foreign currencydenominated debt and cross-currency swaps to hedge our net investments in certain of these subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2018, we had $15.6 billionnotional amount of foreign currency denominated debt and cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges of our foreign subsidiaries.We have analyzed our foreign currency exposure related to our foreign operations as of December 31, 2018, including our hedging contracts, to identifyassets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. For those assets and liabilities, we then evaluated the effect of ahypothetical 10% shift in currency exchange rates, inclusive of the effects of derivatives. The results of our analysis indicate that such a shift in exchangerates would not have a material impact on our 2018 net income attributable to Comcast Corporation.Counterparty Credit Risk ManagementWe manage the credit risks associated with our derivative financial instruments through diversification and the evaluation and monitoring of thecreditworthiness of counterparties. Although we may be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, we do not expect such losses, ifany, to be significant. We have agreements with certain counterparties that include collateral provisions. These provisions require a party with an aggregateunrealized loss position in excess of certain thresholds to post cash collateral for the amount in excess of the threshold. The threshold levels in our collateralagreements are based on our and the counterparty’s credit ratings. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we were not required to post collateral under the termsof these agreements, nor did we hold any collateral under the terms of these agreements.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K63 Table of ContentsItem 8: Comcast Corporation Financial Statements and Supplementary Data IndexPageReport of Management65 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm66 Consolidated Statement of Income67 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income68 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows69 Consolidated Balance Sheet70 Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity71 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements72NBCUniversal Media, LLCSee Index to NBCUniversal Media, LLC Financial Statements and Supplemental Data on page 128. 64Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsReport of ManagementManagement’s Report on Comcast’s Financial StatementsOur management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of information in Comcast’s consolidated financial statements, includingestimates and judgments.

The Comcast consolidated financial statements have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, asstated in their report, which is included herein.Management’s Report on Comcast’s Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Our system of internalcontrol over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financialstatements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:•Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets.•Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance withauthorizations of our management and our directors.•Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have amaterial effect on the financial statements.Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detectmisstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system containsself-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in InternalControl — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, ourmanagement concluded that Comcast’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018. The scope of management’sassessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of the Company’s consolidated operations except for the operations ofSky Limited, which the Company acquired through a purchase business combination during the year ended December 31, 2018. Sky Limited representsapproximately 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 and approximately 24% of the Company’s consolidatedtotal assets as of December 31, 2018.

We also have audited the Company’s internal control overfinancial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effectiveinternal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued byCOSO.As described in Management’s Report on Comcast’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internalcontrol over financial reporting at Sky Limited, which the Company acquired through a purchase business combination during the year ended December 31,2018. Sky Limited represents approximately 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018, and approximately 24% ofthe Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2018. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at SkyLimited.Basis for OpinionsThe Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for itsassessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Comcast’s InternalControl Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internalcontrol over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and theapplicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control overfinancial reporting was maintained in all material respects.Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due toerror or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts anddisclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, aswell as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining anunderstanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design andoperating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessaryin the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial ReportingA company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reportingand the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal controlover financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairlyreflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permitpreparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are beingmade only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention ortimely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliancewith the policies or procedures may deteriorate./s/ Deloitte & Touche LLPPhiladelphia, PennsylvaniaJanuary 31, 2019We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1963. 66Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form

PoliciesWe are a global media and technology company with three primary businesses, Comcast Cable, NBCUniversal and Sky. We were incorporated under the lawsof Pennsylvania in December 2001. Through our predecessors, we have developed, managed and operated cable systems since 1963.In the fourth quarter of 2018, we acquired a 100% interest in Sky through a series of transactions, for total cash consideration of £30.2 billion (approximately$39.4 billion using the exchange rates on the purchase dates).We present our operations for (1) Comcast Cable in one reportable business segment, referred to as Cable Communications; (2) NBCUniversal in fourreportable business segments: Cable Networks, Broadcast Television, Filmed Entertainment and Theme Parks (collectively, the “NBCUniversal segments”);and (3) Sky in one reportable business segment. See Note 2 for additional information on our reportable business segments.Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include all entities in which we have a controlling voting interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”)required to be consolidated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign operations where the functional currency is the local currency, primarily the British pound, euro, Japaneseyen and Chinese renminbi, into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date and translate revenue and expenses using average monthlyexchange rates. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidatedbalance sheet. Any foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in our consolidated statement of income.ReclassificationsReclassifications have been made to our consolidated financial statements for the prior periods to conform to classifications used in 2018. See Note 9 for adiscussion of the effects of the adoption of new accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.Accounting PoliciesOur consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to select accounting policies, including in certain casesindustry-specific policies, and make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure ofcontingent assets and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We believe that the judgments and related estimates for thefollowing items are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:•valuation and impairment testing of cable franchise rights (see Note 12)•film and television costs (see Note 4)•fair value of acquisition-related assets and liabilities (see Note 8)In addition, the following accounting policies are specific to the industries in which we operate:•capitalization and amortization of film and television costs (see Note 4)•costs for connecting customers to our cable systems (see Note 11)Information on other accounting policies and methods that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are included, where applicable,in their respective footnotes that follow. Below is a discussion of accounting policies and methods used in our consolidated financial statements that are notpresented within other footnotes. 72Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast CorporationAdvertising ExpensesAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred.Cash EquivalentsThe carrying amounts of our cash equivalents approximate their fair values. Our cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds and U.S.government obligations, as well as commercial paper and certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less when purchased.Derivative Financial InstrumentsWe use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equityprices. Our objective is to manage the financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposureswith gains and losses on the derivatives used to economically hedge them.Our derivative financial instruments are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Refer to Note 7 for further information on foreign exchangederivatives related to debt. The impact of our remaining derivative financial instruments on our consolidated financial statements was not material in any ofthe periods presented.Fair Value MeasurementsThe accounting guidance related to fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques(market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below.•Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market•Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar financial instruments and valuation models whose inputs are observable•Level 3: Values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies orsimilar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimationWe use these levels of hierarchy to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as for investments; on a non-recurringbasis, such as for acquisitions and impairment testing; for disclosure purposes, such as for long-term debt; and for other applications, as discussed in theirrespective footnotes. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuationand classification within the fair value hierarchy.Asset Retirement ObligationsCertain of our cable franchise agreements and lease agreements contain provisions requiring us to restore facilities or remove property in the event that thefranchise or lease agreement is not renewed. We expect to continually renew our cable franchise agreements and therefore cannot reasonably estimateliabilities associated with such agreements. A remote possibility exists that franchise agreements could be terminated unexpectedly, which could result in usincurring significant expense in complying with restoration or removal provisions. We do not have any material liabilities related to asset retirementsrecorded in our consolidated financial statements.Note 2: Segment InformationOur Cable Communications segment primarily manages and operates cable systems that serve residential and business customers in the United States andsells advertising.

Revenue from residential customers that purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is allocated between the separate services based on therespective stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the current prices at which we separately sell the cable services.Significant judgment is used to determine performance obligations that should be accounted for separately and the allocation of revenue when services arecombined in a bundle. Revenue related to our security and automation services is reported in other revenue.We recognize revenue from residential cable services as the services are provided on a monthly basis. Subscription rates and related charges vary according tothe services and features customers receive. Customers are typically billed in advance and pay on a monthly basis. Installation fees are deferred andrecognized as revenue over the period of benefit to the customer, which is less than a year for residential customers. While a portion of our residentialcustomers are subject to contracts for their cable services, which are typically 2 years in length, based on our evaluation of the terms of these contracts, werecognize revenue for these cable services on a basis that is consistent with our customers that are not subject to contracts. Our cable services generallyinvolve customer premise equipment, such as set-top boxes, cable modems and wireless gateways. The timing and pattern of recognition for customer premiseequipment revenue are consistent with those of our residential cable services. Sales commissions related to our residential customers are expensed as incurred,as the related period of benefit is less than a year.Under the terms of our cable franchise agreements, we are generally required to pay the cable franchising authority an amount based on our gross videorevenue. We generally pass these and other similar fees through to our cable services customers and classify these fees in the respective cable service revenue,with the corresponding costs included in other operating and administrative expenses.Business ServicesOur Cable Communications segment generates revenue from business customers that subscribe to a variety of products and services. Our small businessservices offerings primarily include high-speed internet services, as well as voice and video services, similar to those that we provide to our residentialcustomers, and also include cloud-based solutions that provide file sharing, online backup and web conferencing, among other features. We also offerEthernet network services that connect multiple locations and provide higher downstream and upstream speed options to medium-sized customers and largerenterprises, as well as advanced voice services. In addition, we provide cellular backhaul services to mobile network operators to help these customersmanage their network bandwidth.Recently, we have expanded our enterprise service offerings to include a software-defined networking product and our managed solutions business to offerenterprise customers support related to Wi-Fi networks, router management, network security, business continuity risks and other services. We primarily offerour enterprise service offerings to Fortune 1000 companies and other large enterprises with multiple locations both within and outside of our cabledistribution footprint where we have agreements with other companies to use their networks to provide coverage.We recognize revenue from business services as the services are provided on a monthly basis. Substantially all of our business customers are initially undercontracts, with terms typically ranging from 2 years for small and medium-sized businesses to up to 5 years for larger enterprises. At any given time, theamount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing under existing agreements is equal to approximately half of our annual business servicesrevenue, of which the substantial majority will be recognized within 2 years. Customers with contracts may only discontinue service in accordance with theterms of their contracts. We receive payments from business customers based on a billing schedule established in our contracts, which is typically on amonthly basis. Installation revenue related to our business services customers and sales commissions are generally deferred and recognized over therespective contract terms.AdvertisingOur Cable Communications segment generates revenue from the sale of advertising and technology, tools and solutions relating to advertising businesses. Aspart of our distribution agreements with cable networks, we generally receive an allocation of scheduled advertising time that we sell to local, regional andnational advertisers. In most cases, the available advertising units are sold by our sales force. We also represent the advertising sales efforts of othermultichannel video providers in some markets. Since we are acting as the principal in these arrangements, we record the advertising that is sold in advertisingrevenue and the fees paid to multichannel video providers in other operating and administrative expenses. In some cases, we work with representation firmsas an extension of our sales force to sell a portion of the advertising units allocated to us and record the revenue net of agency commissions. In addition, wegenerate revenue from the sale of advertising on digital platforms. We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contractexists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typically when the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing isscheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within one year once all terms and conditions are agreed upon. Advertising revenue from thesearrangements is recognized in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewed. Payment terms vary by contract, although terms generally requirepayment within 30 to 60 days from when advertisements are aired or viewed. In addition, our advertising business alsoComcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K77 Table of ContentsComcast Corporationprovides technology, tools, data-driven services and marketplace solutions to customers in the media industry, which allows advertisers to more effectivelyengage with their target audiences. Revenue earned in this manner is recognized when services are provided.NBCUniversal SegmentsDistributionOur Cable Networks segment generates distribution revenue from the distribution of our cable network programming to traditional and virtual multichannelvideo providers. Our Broadcast Television segment generates distribution revenue from the fees received under retransmission consent agreements andassociated fees received from NBC-affiliated local broadcast television stations.Distribution revenue is accounted for as a license of functional intellectual property and is recognized as programming is provided on a monthly basis,generally under multiyear agreements. Monthly fees received under distribution agreements with multichannel video providers are generally based on thenumber of subscribers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include payment within 30 to 60 days.AdvertisingOur Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments generate advertising revenue from the sale of advertising on our cable and broadcast networks, ourowned local broadcast television stations and various digital properties.We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typicallywhen the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing is scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within oneyear once all terms are agreed upon. Advertising revenue is recognized, net of agency commissions, in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewedand payment occurs thereafter, with payment generally required within 30 days. In some instances, we guarantee audience ratings for the advertisements. Tothe extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically byproviding additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing.TheatricalOur Filmed Entertainment segment generates theatrical revenue from the worldwide theatrical release of our produced and acquired films for exhibition inmovie theaters. Theatrical revenue is affected by the timing, nature and number of films released in movie theaters and their acceptance by audiences. It isalso affected by the number of exhibition screens, ticket prices, the percentage of ticket sale retention by the exhibitors and the popularity of competing filmsat the time our films are released. We recognize theatrical revenue as the films are viewed and exhibited in theaters and payment generally occurs within 30days after exhibition.Content LicensingOur Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments generate revenue from the licensing of our owned film and television contentin the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and subscription video on demand services. Our content licensingagreements generally include fixed pricing and span multiple years. For example, following a film’s theatrical release, our Filmed Entertainment segmentmay license the exhibition rights of a film to different customers over multiple successive distribution windows.We recognize revenue when the content is delivered and available for use by the licensee. When the term of an existing agreement is renewed or extended, werecognize revenue at the later of when the content is available or when the renewal or extension period begins. Payment terms and conditions vary bycontract type, although payments are generally collected over the license term. The amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing underexisting agreements primarily relates to our Filmed Entertainment segment, which at any given time equals approximately 1 to 2 years of our annual FilmedEntertainment content licensing revenue. The majority of this revenue will be recognized within 2 years. This amount may fluctuate from period to perioddepending on the timing of the releases and the availability of content under existing agreements and may not represent the total content licensing revenueexpected to be recognized as it does not include revenue from future agreements or from variable pricing or optional purchases under existing agreements.For our content licensing agreements that include variable pricing, such as pricing based on the number of subscribers to a subscription video on demandservice sold by our customers, we generally recognize revenue as our customers sell to their subscribers. 78Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast CorporationHome EntertainmentOur Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenue from the sale of our produced and acquired films on standard-definition digital video discs and Blu-raydiscs (together, “DVDs”) and through digital distribution services. Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television networks also generate revenue from thesale of owned programming on DVDs and through digital distribution services, which is reported in other revenue. We generally recognize revenue fromDVD sales, net of estimated returns and customer incentives, on the date that DVDs are delivered to and made available for sale by retailers. Payment termsgenerally include payment within 60 to 90 days from delivery to the retailer.Theme ParksOur Theme Parks segment generates revenue primarily from ticket sales and guest spending at our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood,California; and Osaka, Japan. Guest spending includes in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise. We recognize revenue from theme park ticketsales when the tickets are used, generally within a year from the date of purchase. For annual passes, we generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basisover the period the pass is available to be used. We recognize revenue from guest spending at the point of sale.Sky SegmentDirect-to-ConsumerThe majority of Sky’s revenue is direct-to-consumer, which primarily includes subscription revenue relating to the sale of video services to residential andbusiness customers. Sky also provides high-speed internet, voice and wireless phone services in select countries. Generally, all of our residential customersare initially under contracts, with terms typically ranging from rolling monthly to 2 years, depending on the product and territory, and may only discontinueservice in accordance with the terms of their contracts. Subscription rates and related charges vary according to the services and features customers receiveand the types of equipment they use. Sky’s video, high-speed internet, voice and wireless phone services generally may be sold individually or in bundles.We recognize revenue from video, high-speed internet, voice and wireless phone services as the services are provided on a monthly basis. At any given time,the amount of future revenue to be earned related to existing agreements is equal to less than half of our annual subscription revenue, which generally will berecognized within 2 years.ContentSky’s content revenue includes revenue from the distribution of its channels on third-party platforms and the licensing of owned programming to third-partyvideo providers. Refer to the NBCUniversal segment discussion of distribution and content licensing revenue for accounting policies for these types ofarrangements.AdvertisingSky sells advertising and sponsorships across its owned channels and where it represents the sales efforts of third-party channels. Sky also sells targetedadvertising in the U.K., Ireland and Italy, and generates revenue from online and mobile advertising and advertising across its On Demand services.Advertising revenue is recognized when the advertising is aired or viewed. Since Sky is acting as the principal in the arrangements where it represents thesales efforts of third parties, we record the advertising that is sold in advertising revenue and the fees paid to the third-party channels in other operating andadministrative expenses.Consolidated Balance SheetThe following tables summarize our accounts receivable and other balances that are not separately presented in our consolidated balance sheet that relate tothe recognition of revenue and collection of the related cash, as well as deferred costs associated with our contracts with customers.December 31 (in millions)2018 2017Receivables, gross$11,456 $9,122Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts352 288Receivables, net$11,104 $8,834December 31 (in millions)2018 2017Noncurrent receivables (included in other noncurrent assets, net)$1,399 $1,184Contract acquisition and fulfillment costs (included in other noncurrent assets, net)$991 $922Noncurrent deferred revenue (included in other noncurrent liabilities)$650 $497Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K79 Table of ContentsComcast CorporationIn our Cable Communications and Sky segments, we manage credit risk by screening applicants through the use of internal customer information,identification verification tools and credit bureau data, as well as by offering customers the opportunity to establish automatic monthly payments. If acustomer’s account is delinquent, various measures are used to collect outstanding amounts, including termination of the customer’s cable services.Note 4: Programming and Production CostsVideo Distribution Programming ExpensesProgramming expenses related to video services in Cable Communications and Sky are the fees we pay to license the programming we distribute to our videocustomers. Programming is generally acquired under multiyear distribution agreements, with rates typically based on the number of customers that receivethe programming, channel positioning and the extent of distribution. From time to time, these contracts expire and programming continues to be providedunder interim arrangements while the parties negotiate new contract terms, sometimes with effective dates that affect prior periods. While payments aretypically made under the prior contract’s terms, the amount of programming expenses recorded during the interim arrangement is based on our estimate of theultimate contract terms expected to be negotiated. Differences between actual amounts determined upon resolution of negotiations and amounts recordedduring these interim arrangements are recorded in the period of resolution.When we receive incentives from a cable network for the licensing of its programming, we defer a portion of these incentives, which are included in othercurrent and noncurrent liabilities, and recognize them over the term of the contract as a reduction to programming expenses.Film and Television CostsOur Cable Networks, Broadcast Television, Filmed Entertainment and Sky segments produce owned content or acquire the rights to programming from thirdparties, which are described as film and television costs and programming rights, respectively.December 31 (in millions)20182017Film Costs: Released, less amortization$1,600$1,734Completed, not released14450In production and in development1,0631,149 2,8072,933Television Costs: Released, less amortization2,2892,260In production and in development953818 3,2423,078Programming rights, less amortization5,5342,689 11,5838,700Less: Current portion of programming rights3,7461,613Film and television costs$7,837$7,087Based on our current estimates of the total remaining revenue from all sources (“ultimate revenue”), in 2019 we expect to amortize approximately $1.6billion of film and television costs associated with our original film and television productions that have been released, or are completed and have not beenreleased. Through 2021, we expect to amortize approximately 83% of unamortized film and television costs for our released productions, excluding amountsallocated to acquired libraries.As of December 31, 2018, acquired film and television libraries, which are included within the “released, less amortization” captions in the table above, hadremaining unamortized costs of $396 million. These costs are generally amortized over a period not to exceed 20 years, and approximately 48% of thesecosts are expected to be amortized through 2021.Capitalization of Film and Television CostsWe capitalize film and television production costs, including direct costs, production overhead, print costs, development costs and interest. We amortizecapitalized film and television production costs, including acquired libraries, and accrue costs associated with participation and residual payments toprogramming and production expenses. We generally record the amortization and the accrued costs using the individual film forecast computation method,which amortizes the costs in the same ratio as the associated ultimate revenue. Estimates of ultimate revenue and total costs are based on anticipated releasepatterns, public acceptance and historical results for similar productions. Unamortized film and television production costs, including acquired libraries, arestated 80Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast Corporationat the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. We do not capitalize costs related to the distribution of a film in movie theaters or the licensing or sale of a filmor television production, which primarily include costs associated with marketing and distribution.In determining the method of amortization and estimated life of an acquired film or television library, we generally use the method and the life that mostclosely follow the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated life of the asset.When an event or a change in circumstance occurs that was known or knowable as of the balance sheet date and that indicates the fair value of a film is lessthan its unamortized costs, we determine the fair value of the film and record an impairment charge for the amount by which the unamortized capitalizedcosts exceed the film’s fair value. The estimated fair value of a production is based on Level 3 inputs that primarily use an analysis of future expected cashflows. Adjustments to capitalized film production costs were not material in any of the periods presented.We may enter into cofinancing arrangements with third parties to jointly finance or distribute certain of our film productions. Cofinancing arrangements cantake various forms, but in most cases involve the grant of an economic interest in a film to an investor. The number of investors and the terms of thesearrangements can vary, although investors generally assume the full risks and rewards for the portion of the film acquired in these arrangements. We accountfor the proceeds received from a third-party investor under these arrangements as a reduction to our capitalized film costs. Under these arrangements, theinvestor owns an undivided copyright interest in the film, and therefore in each period we record either a charge or a benefit to programming and productionexpenses to reflect the estimate of the third-party investor’s interest in the profit or loss of the film. The estimate of the third-party investor’s interest in theprofit or loss of a film is determined using the ratio of actual revenue earned to date to the ultimate revenue expected to be recognized over the film’s usefullife.We capitalize the costs of programming content that we license but do not own, including rights to multiyear, live-event sports programming, at the earlier ofwhen payments are made for the programming or when the license period begins and the content is made available for use. We amortize capitalizedprogramming costs as the associated programs are broadcast. We generally amortize multiyear, live-event sports programming rights using the ratio of thecurrent period revenue to the estimated ultimate revenue or under the terms of the contract.Programming costs are recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value on a program by program, package, channel or daypart basis. Adaypart is an aggregation of programs broadcast during a particular time of day or programs of a similar type. Programming acquired by our Cable Networkssegment is primarily tested on a channel basis for impairment, whereas programming acquired by our Broadcast Television segment is tested on a daypartbasis. If we determine that the estimates of future cash flows are insufficient or if there is no plan to broadcast certain programming, we recognize animpairment charge to programming and production expenses.Note 5: Income TaxesComponents of Income Tax Expense (Benefit) Year ended December 31 (in millions)2018 2017 2016Current Expense (Benefit): Federal$2,026 $2,411 $3,190State639 277 480Foreign425 389 194 3,090 3,077 3,864Deferred Expense (Benefit): Federal546 (10,651) 1,183State(167) 11 153Foreign(89) (6) 98 290 (10,646) 1,434Income tax expense (benefit)$3,380 $(7,569) $5,298Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K81 Table of ContentsComcast CorporationOur income tax expense (benefit) differs from the federal statutory amount because of the effect of the items detailed in the table below.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities when there aretemporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of our assets and liabilities and for the expected benefits of using net operating losscarryforwards. When a change in the tax rate or tax law has an impact on deferred taxes, we apply the change based on the years in which the temporarydifferences are expected to reverse. We record the change in our consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment.The determination of the income tax consequences of a business combination includes identifying the tax basis of assets and liabilities acquired and anycontingencies associated with uncertain tax positions assumed or resulting from the business combination. Deferred tax assets and liabilities related totemporary differences of an acquired entity are recorded as of the date of the business combination and are based on our estimate of the ultimate tax basis thatwill be accepted by the various tax authorities. We record liabilities for contingencies associated with prior tax returns filed by the acquired entity based oncriteria set forth in the appropriate accounting guidance. We adjust the deferred tax accounts and the liabilities periodically to reflect any revised estimatedtax basis and any estimated settlements with the various tax authorities. The effects of these adjustments are recorded to income tax expense (benefit).From time to time, we engage in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. In these cases, we evaluate our tax position usingthe recognition threshold and the measurement attribute in accordance with the accounting guidance related to uncertain tax positions. Examples of thesetransactions include business acquisitions and dispositions, including consideration paid or received in connection with these transactions, certain financingtransactions, and the allocation of income among state and local tax jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in assessing and estimating the taxconsequences of these transactions. We determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained on examination, including theresolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-notrecognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. We classify interest andpenalties, if any, associated with our uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense (benefit).Current and deferred foreign income taxes are incurred primarily by Sky’s and NBCUniversal’s foreign subsidiaries. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we had foreignincome before taxes of $855 million, $1 billion and $871 million, respectively, on which foreign income tax expense (benefit) was recorded.Sky AcquisitionWe recorded a $1.9 billion increase in deferred income tax liabilities in connection with the acquisition of Sky, which were primarily related to foreigntemporary differences associated with intangible assets and net operating losses, and were included in the preliminary allocation of purchase price. Althoughit operates primarily outside the United States, Sky will be included in certain of our consolidated state tax returns, which impacted our effective tax rates inthose jurisdictions. As a result, we also recorded a $244 million net decrease in the deferred state tax liability, net of federal benefit, on our existing temporarydifferences, which was included in income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2018. 82Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast CorporationTax ReformOn December 22, 2017, new federal tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States, resulting in significant changes from previous tax law. The 2017Tax Act reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% effective January 1, 2018. The rate change, along with certain immaterial changes intax basis resulting from the 2017 Tax Act, resulted in a reduction of our net deferred tax liabilities of $12.4 billion and a corresponding deferred income taxbenefit in 2017. Our federal income tax expense for periods beginning in 2018 was based on the new rate.The 2017 Tax Act also changed the taxation of foreign earnings, and companies generally are not subject to United States federal income taxes upon thereceipt of dividends from foreign subsidiaries and are not permitted foreign tax credits related to such dividends. Beginning in 2018, in general, we no longerrecord United States federal income tax on our share of the income of our foreign subsidiaries, and we no longer record a benefit for foreign tax credits relatedto that income. Upon enactment, we reversed $382 million of net deferred tax liabilities related to our cumulative undistributed foreign earnings and deferredtax assets for related foreign tax credits, resulting in a corresponding net tax benefit in 2017. Additionally, upon enactment, there was a one-time deemedrepatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings and profits (the “transition tax”). We recognized tax expense of $101 million related to the transition tax in2017.The 2017 Tax Act also provides for immediate deduction of 100% of the costs of qualified property, including significant portions of our capitalexpenditures and film and television productions costs, that are incurred and the property placed in service during the period from September 27, 2017 toDecember 31, 2022. This provision will begin to phase down by 20% per year beginning January 1, 2023 and will be completely phased out as of January 1,2027.The adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the liability related to the transition tax included provisional amounts estimated based oninformation available as of December 31, 2017. In 2018, we completed our analysis of the provisional items, resulting in immaterial adjustments primarilyrelated to cumulative temporary differences and the one-time deemed repatriation tax on undistributed foreign earnings and profits.In February 2018, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 was enacted. As part of this legislation, various tax provisions that had expired on December 31, 2016were retroactively extended to December 31, 2017, including the statute permitting the immediate deduction for certain film and television production costs.We recorded an income tax benefit of $128 million in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of the enactment of this legislation.Components of Net Deferred Tax Liability December 31 (in millions)2018 2017Deferred Tax Assets: Net operating loss carryforwards$1,926 $481Nondeductible accruals and other2,656 2,092Less: Valuation allowance632 377 3,950 2,196Deferred Tax Liabilities: Differences between book and tax basis of property and equipment and intangible assets29,139 25,223Differences between book and tax basis of investments491 466Differences between book and tax basis of long-term debt604 673Differences between book and tax basis of foreign subsidiaries and undistributed foreign earnings85 3930,319 26,401Net deferred tax liability$26,369 $24,205Changes in our net deferred tax liability in 2018 that were not recorded as deferred income tax benefit (expense) are primarily related to increases of $1.9billion related to acquisitions, including Sky, and $42 million associated with our purchase of a noncontrolling interest, and a decrease of $72 millionassociated with items included in other comprehensive income (loss). Our net deferred tax liability includes $15 billion related to cable franchise rights thatwill remain unchanged unless we recognize an impairment or dispose of a cable franchise or there is a change in the tax law. Additionally, we recorded animmaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in 2018 as a result of the adoption ofupdated guidance that permitted companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the2017 Tax Act.As of December 31, 2018, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $268 million, and various state net operating loss carryforwards, the majority ofwhich expire in periods through 2038. As of December 31, 2018, we also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $6.6 billion related to the foreignoperations of Sky and NBCUniversal, the majority of which can be carriedComcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K83 Table of ContentsComcast Corporationforward indefinitely. The determination of the realization of the state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards is dependent on our subsidiaries’ taxableincome or loss, apportionment percentages, redetermination from taxing authorities, and state and foreign laws that can change from year to year and impactthe amount of such carryforwards. We recognize a valuation allowance if we determine it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred taxasset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our valuation allowance was primarily related to state and foreign net operating losscarryforwards. The increase in the valuation allowance in 2018 was primarily related to the acquisition of Sky. As a result of the timing of the acquisition, thedeferred tax assets and liabilities related to Sky are preliminary and subject to change, including our assessment of the realization of Sky’s deferred tax assetsof $1.5 billion related to net operating losses. We will finalize the amounts recognized as soon as possible as we obtain the information necessary to completethe analysis, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. See Note 8 for further information on the Sky acquisition.Uncertain Tax PositionsOur liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2018 totaled $1.0 billion, which excludes the federal benefits on state tax positions that wererecorded as deferred income taxes. Included in our liability for uncertain tax positions was $153 million related to tax positions of NBCUniversal andNBCUniversal Enterprise for which we have been indemnified by GE, their former parent company. We are indemnified by GE for any income tax liabilityattributable to the NBCUniversal contributed businesses for periods prior to the close of the NBCUniversal transaction in January 2011 and also for anyincome tax liability attributable to NBCUniversal Enterprise for periods prior to the date of the NBCUniversal redemption transaction in March 2013.Reconciliation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits (in millions)2018 2017 2016Gross unrecognized tax benefits, January 1$1,497 $1,443 $1,441Additions based on tax positions related to the current year229 121 74Additions based on tax positions related to prior years125 319 72Additions from acquired subsidiaries130 — 13Reductions for tax positions of prior years(346) (251) (66)Reductions due to expiration of statutes of limitations(75) (70) (44)Settlements with tax authorities(17) (65) (47)Gross unrecognized tax benefits, December 311,543 1,497 1,443Positions paid(531) (688) (340)Liability for uncertain tax positions$1,012 $809 $1,103Our liability for uncertain tax positions represents the amounts recorded for potential payment obligations. Our gross unrecognized tax benefits also includeamounts related to positions for which tax has been assessed and paid. If we were to recognize our gross unrecognized tax benefits in the future, $1.1 billion,which includes amounts indemnified by GE, would impact our effective tax rate and the remaining amount would increase our deferred income tax liability.The amount and timing of the recognition of any such tax benefit is dependent on the completion of examinations of our tax filings by the various taxauthorities and the expiration of statutes of limitations. It is reasonably possible that certain tax contests could be resolved within the next 12 months thatmay result in a decrease in our effective tax rate.As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our accrued interest associated with our liability for uncertain tax positions was $203 million and $173 million,respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, $56 million and $43 million, respectively, of these amounts were related to tax positions of NBCUniversaland NBCUniversal Enterprise for which we have been indemnified by GE.The IRS has completed its examination of our income tax returns for all years through 2016. Various states are examining our state tax returns and the taxyears of those tax returns currently under examination vary by state, with most of the periods relating to tax years 2000 and forward. Various foreignjurisdictions are examining our tax returns and the tax years of those tax returns currently under examination vary by country, with most of the periodsrelating to tax years 2010 and forward. 84Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast CorporationNote 6: Earnings Per ShareComputation of Diluted EPS 201820172016Year ended December 31(in millions, except per share data)Net IncomeAttributableto ComcastCorporationSharesPer ShareAmountNet IncomeAttributableto ComcastCorporationSharesPer ShareAmountNet IncomeAttributableto ComcastCorporationSharesPer ShareAmountBasic EPS attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders$11,7314,584$2.56$22,7354,708$4.83$8,6784,819$1.80Effect of dilutive securities: Assumed exercise or issuance of shares relating to stock plans 56 78 56 Diluted EPS attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders$11,7314,640$2.53$22,7354,786$4.75$8,6784,875$1.78Diluted earnings per common share attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders (“diluted EPS”) considers the impact of potentially dilutive securitiesusing the treasury stock method.

The Sky senior notes were recorded at fair value as ofOctober 9, 2018.(c)The December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounts include £625 million of 5.50% notes due 2029.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K85 Table of ContentsComcast Corporation(d) Includes the effects of our derivative financial instruments.As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our debt had an estimated fair value of $114.1 billion and $71.7 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of ourpublicly traded debt was primarily based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market values for the debt. The estimated fair value of debt for which there are noquoted market prices was based on Level 2 inputs that use interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.We use cross-currency swaps for foreign currency denominated debt obligations when those obligations are denominated in a currency other than thefunctional currency. Cross-currency swaps effectively convert foreign currency denominated debt to debt denominated in the functional currency in order tohedge the risk that the cash flows related to annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity may be adversely affected by fluctuations incurrency exchange rates. The gains and losses on these cross-currency swaps generally offset changes in the underlying value of the related exposures. As ofDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, we had cross-currency swaps on $5.3 billion and $0.8 billion notional amount of our foreign currency denominated debt,respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the aggregate fair value of these cross-currency swaps was a net liability of $23 million and $80 million,respectively.We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on the consolidation of our foreign operations. Beginning in 2018, we use foreign currencydenominated debt and cross-currency swaps to hedge our net investments in certain of these subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2018, we had $15.6 billionnotional amount of our foreign currency denominated debt and cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges in our foreign subsidiaries.Principal Maturities of Debt (in millions) 2019$4,4132020$7,9612021$11,5482022$8,7412023$7,818Thereafter$72,9642018 Debt Borrowings and RepaymentsIn 2018, we had borrowings of $44.8 billion that primarily included $27 billion of proceeds from the issuance of senior unsecured fixed and floating ratenotes in October 2018, $8.7 billion of proceeds from sterling-denominated unsecured term loans and $3 billion of proceeds from the dollar-denominatedunsecured term loan which were used to fund the acquisition of Sky, and $4 billion of proceeds from the issuance of senior unsecured fixed rate notes inFebruary 2018.In 2018, we made repayments of $8.8 billion of debt.Revolving Bank Credit FacilitiesAs of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had a $7.6 billion and $7.0 billion, respectively, revolving credit facility due 2021 with a syndicate of banks(“Comcast revolving credit facility”) that may be used for general corporate purposes. We may increase the commitment under the Comcast revolving creditfacility up to a total of $10 billion, as well as extend the expiration date to a date no later than 2023, subject to approval of the lenders. In addition, as ofDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, NBCUniversal Enterprise had a $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, revolving credit facility due 2021 with a syndicateof banks (“NBCUniversal Enterprise revolving credit facility”) that may be used for general corporate purposes. We may increase the commitment under theNBCUniversal Enterprise revolving credit facility up to a total of $2 billion, as well as extend the expiration date to a date no later than 2023, subject toapproval of the lenders. The interest rates on the revolving credit facilities consist of a base rate plus a borrowing margin that is determined based onComcast’s credit rating. As of December 31, 2018, the borrowing margin for borrowings based on the London Interbank Offered Rate was 1.00%. As ofDecember 31, 2018, Sky had a £1 billion revolving credit facility due 2021 with a syndicate of banks (“Sky revolving credit facility”) that may be used forgeneral corporate purposes. The interest rate on the Sky revolving credit facility consists of a base rate plus a borrowing margin that is determined based onSky’s credit rating. Each of the revolving credit facilities requires that we maintain certain financial ratios based on the respective debt and EBITDA of eachentity, as defined in the credit facility. The Sky revolving credit facility also contains a ratio of EBITDA to net interest payable, as defined in the creditfacility. We were in compliance with all financial covenants for all periods presented.There were no amounts outstanding under the Comcast or NBCUniversal Enterprise revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2018 or 2017. As ofDecember 31, 2018, £475 million (approximately $606 million using exchange rates as of December 31, 2018) was outstanding under the Sky revolvingcredit facility.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we acquired the remaining Sky shares and now own 100% of Sky’s equityinterests. Total cash consideration was £30.2 billion (approximately $39.4 billion using the exchange rates on the purchase dates).Sky is one of Europe’s leading entertainment companies, which primarily includes a direct-to-consumer business, providing video, high-speed internet, voiceand wireless phone services, and a content business, operating entertainment networks, the Sky News broadcast network and Sky Sports networks. We believethe combination of our global communications, media and entertainment businesses will enable the delivery of innovations in technology and astrengthened content portfolio to an expanded worldwide audience across multiple platforms.To finance the acquisition, we issued $27.0 billion aggregate amount of senior unsecured fixed and floating rate notes that will mature between 2020 and2058 and we borrowed £6.6 billion ($8.7 billion using the exchange rates on the dates of borrowing) under a £7.0 billion unsecured sterling-denominatedterm loan credit agreement and $3.0 billion under a $3.0 billion unsecured dollar-denominated term loan credit agreement. The unsecured term loans andsenior notes are guaranteed by Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. The remaining amount of consideration was funded using cash on hand.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K87 Table of ContentsComcast CorporationPreliminary Allocation of Purchase PriceWe have applied acquisition accounting to Sky. Sky’s results of operations are included in our consolidated results of operations since the acquisition dateand are reported in our Sky segment. The net assets of Sky were recorded at their estimated fair value using Level 3 inputs. In valuing acquired assets andliabilities, fair value estimates are based on, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, market rate assumptions for contractual obligations andappropriate discount rates. The estimated values are not yet final and are subject to change, and the changes could be significant. We will finalize theamounts recognized as soon as possible as we obtain the information necessary to complete the analysis, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.The table below presents the preliminary allocation of the all-cash purchase price of £30.2 billion, or $39.4 billion, to the assets and liabilities of Sky as aresult of the transaction.Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price (in millions) Consideration transferred$39,387 Preliminary allocation of purchase price Cash$1,283Accounts receivable and other current assets2,405Film and television costs (See Note 4)2,526Property and equipment (See Note 11)3,386Intangible assets (See Note 12)20,628Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities(5,791)Long-term debt (See Note 7)(11,215)Deferred tax assets (liabilities), net (See Note 5)(1,903)Other noncurrent assets and (liabilities), net(1,809)Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired9,510Goodwill (See Note 12)$29,877Intangible AssetsFinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships with a carrying amount of $11.8 billion and developed technology with a carryingamount of $1.8 billion, with estimated useful lives of between 4 and 18 years. Indefinite-lived assets consist of trade names with a carrying amount of $6.8billion.GoodwillGoodwill consists primarily of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including increased footprint, assembled workforce,noncontractual relationships and agreements. Since our allocation of the purchase price and estimated fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is notyet final, the amount of the total goodwill is not yet final and is subject to change. The acquired goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.Acquisition-Related CostsAs a result of the Sky transaction, we have incurred incremental expenses including the U.K. share acquisition tax, success-based investment banker fees andfees to attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, which are reflected in other operating and administrative expenses. We also incurred certainfinancing costs associated with our borrowings, which are reflected in interest expense.

As of December 31, 2018, UniversalBeijing Resort had borrowed approximately $569 million under the financing agreement.We have concluded that Universal Beijing Resort is a variable interest entity based on its governance structure, and we consolidate it because we have thepower to direct activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other financialcommitments between us and Universal Beijing Resort, and therefore our maximum risk of financial loss is our 30% interest. Universal Beijing Resort’sresults of operations are reported in our Theme Parks segment.In March 2018, Universal Beijing Resort received initial equity investments through a combination of cash and noncash contributions from the investors. Asof December 31, 2018, our consolidated balance sheet included assets, primarily including property and equipment, and liabilities of Universal BeijingResort totaling $1.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.2017FCC Spectrum AuctionOn April 13, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission announced the results of its spectrum auction. In the auction, NBCUniversal relinquished itsspectrum rights in the New York, Philadelphia and Chicago designated market areas (“DMAs”) where NBC and Telemundo had overlapping spectrum.NBCUniversal received proceeds of $482 million in July 2017, which were recorded in other investing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.NBCUniversal recognized a pretax gain of $337 million in other operating gains in 2017. NBC and Telemundo stations share broadcast signals in theseDMAs. In connection with the auction, we also acquired the rights to $1.7 billion of spectrum in the second quarter of 2017, which were recorded to otherintangible assets, net. We had previously made a deposit of $1.8 billion to participate in the auction in 2016 and received a refund for amounts in excess ofthe purchase price in 2017.Universal Studios JapanOn April 6, 2017, we acquired the remaining interests in Universal Studios Japan that we did not already own for $2.3 billion. The acquisition was fundedthrough cash on hand and borrowings under our commercial paper program. Because we maintained control of Universal Studios Japan, the differencebetween the consideration transferred and the recorded value of the noncontrolling interests, as well as the related tax and accumulated other comprehensiveincome impacts, were recorded to additional paid-in capital.2016DreamWorks AnimationOn August 22, 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion. DreamWorks Animation’s stockholders received$41 in cash for each share of DreamWorks Animation common stock. DreamWorks Animation creates animated feature films, television series and specials,live entertainment, and related consumer products. The results of operations for DreamWorks Animation are reported in our Filmed Entertainment segmentfollowing the acquisition date.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K89 Table of ContentsComcast CorporationNote 9: Recent Accounting PronouncementsRevenue RecognitionIn May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. The updated accountingguidance provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model to help improve financial reporting by providing clearer guidance on when an entityshould recognize revenue and by reducing the number of standards to which an entity has to refer. The core principle of the new standard is that a companyshould recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the companyexpects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis, which required us to reflect the impact of the updated guidance for allperiods presented. Upon adoption, we also implemented changes in our presentation of certain revenues and expenses, primarily in our CableCommunications segment.The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented. Theupdated guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue transactions. See Note 3 for additionalinformation.The tables below present the effects on our consolidated statement of income and balance sheet for the prior year periods presented.Consolidated Statement of IncomeYear ended December 31, 2017 (in millions)Previously ReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedRevenue$84,526$503$85,029Total costs and expenses$66,539$472$67,011Operating income$17,987$31$18,018Net income attributable to Comcast Corporation$22,714$21$22,735Year ended December 31, 2016 (in millions)Previously ReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedRevenue$80,403$333$80,736Total costs and expenses$63,544$361$63,905Operating income$16,859$(28)$16,831Net income attributable to Comcast Corporation$8,695$(17)$8,678Consolidated Balance SheetDecember 31, 2017 (in millions)Previously ReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedTotal current assets$16,060$283$16,343Film and television costs$7,076$11$7,087Other intangible assets, net$18,779$(646)$18,133Other noncurrent assets, net$3,489$865$4,354Total assets$186,949$513$187,462 Total current liabilities$21,561$432$21,993Deferred income taxes$24,256$3$24,259Other noncurrent liabilities$10,904$68$10,972Total equity$69,449$10$69,459Total liabilities and equity$186,949$513$187,462Cable CommunicationsA summary of the changes implemented for the Cable Communications segment is presented below.Changes to Presentation of Revenue and Related Costs•Revenue from our residential video services decreased with corresponding increases to high-speed internet and voice revenue due to a change in theallocation of revenue among our cable services included in a bundle that our residential customers purchase at a discount. 90Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast Corporation•Revenue from franchise and other regulatory fees, which was previously presented in other revenue, is now presented with the corresponding cableservices. This resulted in increases to video, voice and business services revenue.•Residential customer late fees are now presented in other revenue. These fees were previously presented as a reduction to other operating costs andexpenses.•Certain costs, including costs related to the fulfillment of contracts with customers, are now presented as other assets and the related costs arerecognized over time in operating costs and expenses, which are comprised of total costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortizationexpense and other operating gains. These amounts were previously presented as intangible assets, and the expenses were previously presented inamortization expense. The payments related to these assets are now presented in net cash provided by operating activities rather than in cash paid forintangible assets in our consolidated statement of cash flows.Changes to the Timing of Recognition of Revenue and Related Costs•Revenue for upfront installation services that are not distinct and commission expenses are now recognized as revenue and operating costs andexpenses, respectively, over a period of time rather than recognized immediately as they were previously. We recorded a deferred revenue liabilityrelated to upfront installation fees that are not distinct services, which required us to allocate the installation fees to the respective service. Theinstallation fees are generally recognized as revenue over the period that the fee would influence a customer to renew their service. This period isless than a year for Cable Communications residential customers and the term of the related contract for business services customers. Incrementalcosts to obtain a contract with a customer, such as commissions for our business customers, are now deferred and recognized over the contract term.Sales commissions related to our Cable Communications residential customers are expensed as incurred as the related period of benefit is less than ayear.The tables below present the effects these changes had on our Cable Communications segment revenue, operating costs and expenses, and depreciation andamortization expense as a result of the adoption of updated guidance for the prior year periods. Previously reported amounts are based on amounts previouslypresented in the segment information footnote.Year ended December 31, 2017 (in millions)Previously ReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedResidential: High-speed internet$14,769$912$15,681Video23,129(255)22,874Voice3,3916994,090Business services6,2162216,437Advertising2,2571932,450Other2,757(1,219)1,538Total Cable Communications revenue$52,519$551$53,070Operating costs and expenses$31,349$653$32,002Depreciation and amortization expense$8,143$(137)$8,006Year ended December 31, 2016 (in millions)PreviouslyReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedResidential: High-speed internet$13,532$889$14,421Video22,357(153)22,204Voice3,5406194,159Business services5,5141915,705Advertising2,4761502,626Other2,629(1,167)1,462Total Cable Communications revenue$50,048$529$50,577Operating costs and expenses$29,939$624$30,563Depreciation and amortization expense$7,670$(132)$7,538Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K91 Table of ContentsComcast CorporationNBCUniversal SegmentsThe adoption of the updated guidance impacted the timing of recognition for some of our revenue contracts, primarily for content licensing agreements. As aresult of the adoption of the updated guidance, when the term of an existing content licensing agreement is renewed or extended, revenue is not recognizeduntil the date when the renewal or extension period begins. Under the prior guidance, revenue for the content licensing renewal period was recognized on thedate that the renewal was agreed to contractually. This change resulted in delayed revenue recognition for content licensing renewals or extensions in ourCable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments. This change also impacted the timing of the related amortization of our film andtelevision costs and participations and residuals expenses. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on the results of operationsor financial position for the NBCUniversal segments.Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIn January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. Theupdated accounting guidance, among other things, requires that all nonconsolidated equity investments, except those accounted for under the equitymethod, be measured at fair value and the changes in fair value be recognized in net income. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the updated guidanceprospectively along with a related clarifying update and as a result, we recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings,accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and investments. See Note 10 for additional information.Restricted CashIn November 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to restricted cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows presentthe change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, and areconciliation of that total to amounts presented on the balance sheet. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 and as required applied theretrospective transition method. The adoption did not have a material impact for any period presented.LeasesIn February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases. The updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-useasset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. The asset and liability are initially measured based on thepresent value of committed lease payments. For a lessee, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease donot significantly change from previous guidance. For a lessor, the accounting applied is also largely unchanged from previous guidance. We will adopt theupdated accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2019 and prior periods will not be adjusted. We are currently in the process of determining the impact thatthe updated accounting will have on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 17 for a summary of our undiscounted minimum rental commitmentsunder operating leases as of December 31, 2018.Note 10: InvestmentsDecember 31 (in millions)2018 2017Equity method$4,035 $3,546Marketable equity securities341 433Nonmarketable equity securities1,805 1,186Other investments1,796 1,785Total investments7,977 6,950Less: Current investments94 19Noncurrent investments$7,883 $6,931Investment and Other Income (Loss), Net Year ended December 31 (in millions)2018 2017 2016Equity in net income (losses) of investees, net$(364) $107 $(104)Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net(187) (17) 12Other income (loss), net326 331 529Investment and other income (loss), net$(225) $421 $437Beginning January 1, 2018, in connection with our adoption of the updated accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financialassets and financial liabilities (see Note 9), we updated the presentation and accounting policies for our 92Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast Corporationinvestments previously classified as fair value and cost method investments. The investment categories presented in the table above are based on the newguidance and updated policies, where applicable, are described below.Equity MethodWe use the equity method to account for investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating andfinancial policies or in which we hold a significant partnership or limited liability company interest. Equity method investments are recorded at cost and areadjusted to recognize (1) our proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment, (2) amortization of the recorded investmentthat exceeds our share of the book value of the investee’s net assets, (3) additional contributions made and dividends received, and (4) impairments resultingfrom other-than-temporary declines in fair value. For some investments, we record our share of the investee’s net income or loss one quarter in arrears due tothe timing of our receipt of such information. Gains or losses on the sale of equity method investments are recorded to other income (loss), net. If an equitymethod investee were to issue additional securities that would change our proportionate share of the entity, we would recognize the change, if any, as a gainor loss to other income (loss), net.AtairosOn January 1, 2016, we established Atairos Group, Inc., a strategic company focused on investing in and operating companies in a range of industries andbusiness sectors, both domestically and internationally. Atairos has a term of up to 12 years and is controlled by management companies led by our formerCFO through interests that carry all of the voting rights. We are the only investor other than our former CFO and the other management company employees.In February 2018, we amended our agreement with Atairos, which primarily increases our commitment to fund Atairos from up to $4 billion to up to $5billion in the aggregate at any one time, subject to certain offsets. The amendment also increases our commitment to fund Atairos for a management fee from$40 million to $45 million annually, subject to certain annual adjustments. The management company investors have committed to fund from $50 million to$100 million, with at least $40 million to be funded by our former CFO, subject to his continued role with Atairos. Our economic interests do not carry votingrights and obligate us to absorb approximately 99% of any losses and they provide us the right to receive approximately 86% of any residual returns inAtairos, in either case on a cumulative basis.We have concluded that Atairos is a VIE, that we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance ofAtairos as we have no voting rights and only certain consent rights, and that we are not a related party with our former CFO or the management companies.We therefore do not consolidate Atairos and account for our investment as an equity method investment. There are no other liquidity arrangements,guarantees or other financial commitments between Comcast and Atairos, and therefore our maximum risk of financial loss is our investment balance andremaining unfunded capital commitment.As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our investment in Atairos was $2.7 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we made cash capitalcontributions totaling $282 million, $994 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, to Atairos. Atairos follows investment company accounting and records itsinvestments at their fair values each reporting period with the net gains or losses reflected in its statement of operations. We recognize our share of these gainsand losses in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net. In 2018, we recognized our share of Atairos’ losses of $31 million; in 2017 and 2016, werecognized our share of Atairos’ income of $281 million and losses of $38 million respectively.In April 2018, we sold a controlling interest in our arena management-related businesses to Atairos and received as consideration additional equity interestsin Atairos. In connection with the sale of the businesses, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $200 million in other operating gains. In July 2017, we sold abusiness to a company owned by Atairos and received as consideration an investment in that company. In connection with the sale of the business, werecognized a pre-tax gain of $105 million in other operating gains. We account for our retained ownership in the businesses as equity method investments.HuluAs of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our investment in Hulu was $248 million and $249 million, respectively. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we made cash capitalcontributions totaling $454 million, $300 million and $50 million, respectively, to Hulu. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we recognized our proportionate share ofHulu’s losses of $454 million, $276 million and $168 million, respectively, in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net.In August 2016, Time Warner Inc. acquired a 10% interest in Hulu, which diluted our interest in Hulu from 33% to 30%. For a period not to exceed 3 years,Time Warner may put its shares to Hulu or Hulu may call Time Warner’s shares under certain limited circumstances arising from regulatory review. Given thecontingent nature of the put and call options, we recorded a deferred gain of $159 million and a corresponding increase to our investment in Hulu as a resultof the dilution. The deferred gain will be recognized in other income (loss), net if and when the options expire unexercised.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K93 Table of ContentsComcast CorporationThe Weather ChannelIn March 2018, we sold our investment in The Weather Channel cable network and recognized a pretax gain of $64 million in other income (loss), net.In January 2016, following a legal restructuring at The Weather Channel, we and the other investors sold the entity holding The Weather Channel’s productand technology businesses to IBM. Following the close of the transaction, we continued to hold an investment in The Weather Channel cable networkthrough a new holding company. As a result of the sale of our investment, we recognized a pretax gain of $108 million in other income (loss), net.Marketable Equity SecuritiesWe classify publicly traded investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as marketable equitysecurities. Marketable equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. The changes in fair value betweenmeasurement dates are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. The fair values of our marketable equity securities are basedon Level 1 inputs that use quoted market prices.SnapIn March 2017, we acquired an interest in Snap Inc. for $500 million as part of its initial public offering, which we have classified as a marketable equitysecurity. Snap is a camera company whose primary product is Snapchat, a camera app that was created to help people communicate through short videos andimages. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our investment in Snap was $162 million and $430 million, respectively. In 2018, we recognized unrealizedlosses of $268 million in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net related to our investment in Snap. Prior to the updated accountingguidance, unrealized gains and losses related to our investment in Snap were recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income.Nonmarketable Equity SecuritiesWe classify investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as nonmarketable equity securities. Theaccounting guidance requires nonmarketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, theguidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observableprice changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. We apply this measurement alternative to a majority of our nonmarketable equitysecurities. When an observable event occurs, we estimate the fair values of our nonmarketable equity securities based on Level 2 inputs that are derived fromobservable price changes of similar securities adjusted for insignificant differences in rights and obligations. The changes in value are recorded in realizedand unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net.Other InvestmentsAirTouchWe hold two series of preferred stock of Verizon Americas, Inc., formerly known as AirTouch Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of Verizon CommunicationsInc., which are redeemable in April 2020. As of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, our investment in AirTouch was $1.6 billion. We account for ourinvestment in AirTouch as a held to maturity investment using the cost method. As of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the estimated fair value of theAirTouch preferred stock was $1.7 billion.The dividend and redemption activity of the AirTouch preferred stock determines the dividend and redemption payments associated with substantially all ofthe preferred shares issued by one of our consolidated subsidiaries, which is a VIE. The subsidiary has three series of preferred stock outstanding with anaggregate redemption value of $1.75 billion. Substantially all of the AirTouch preferred stock is redeemable in April 2020 at a redemption value of $1.65billion. As of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the two series of redeemable subsidiary preferred shares were recorded at $1.6 billion, and those amounts areincluded in other noncurrent liabilities. As of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the liability related to the redeemable subsidiary preferred shares had anaggregate estimated fair value of $1.7 billion. The estimated fair values of the AirTouch preferred stock and redeemable subsidiary preferred shares are basedon Level 2 inputs that use pricing models whose inputs are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or othermeans for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The one series of nonredeemable subsidiary preferred shares was recorded at $100 million asof both December 31, 2018 and 2017, and those amounts are included in noncontrolling interests in our consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount ofthe nonredeemable subsidiary preferred shares approximates its fair value. 94Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast CorporationImpairment Testing of InvestmentsWe review our investment portfolio, other than our marketable equity securities, each reporting period to determine whether there are identified events orcircumstances that would indicate there is a decline in the fair value. For our nonpublic investments, if there are no identified events or circumstances thatwould have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, then the fair value is not estimated. For our equity method investments and held tomaturity investments, if an investment is deemed to have experienced an other-than-temporary decline below its cost basis, we reduce the carrying amount ofthe investment to its quoted or estimated fair value, as applicable, and establish a new cost basis for the investment. For our nonmarketable equity securities,we record the impairment to realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. For our equity method investments and our held to maturityinvestments, we record the impairment to other income (loss), net.Note 11: Property and EquipmentDecember 31 (in millions)Weighted-AverageOriginal Useful Lifeas of December 31, 2018 2018 2017Cable distribution system11 years $38,380 $36,046Customer premise equipment6 years 26,208 26,392Other equipment8 years 12,437 10,518Buildings and leasehold improvements30 years 14,188 12,346Construction in processN/A 2,991 1,752LandN/A 1,539 1,332Property and equipment, at cost 95,743 88,386Less: Accumulated depreciation 51,306 49,916Property and equipment, net $44,437 $38,470Property and equipment are stated at cost. We capitalize improvements that extend asset lives and expense repairs and maintenance costs as incurred. Werecord depreciation using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. For assets that are sold or retired, we remove the applicable cost andaccumulated depreciation and, unless the gain or loss on disposition is presented separately, we recognize it as a component of depreciation expense.In accordance with the accounting guidance related to cable television companies, our Cable Communications segment capitalizes the costs associated withthe construction of and improvements to our cable transmission and distribution facilities, including scalable infrastructure and line extensions; costsassociated with acquiring and deploying new customer premise equipment; and costs associated with installation of our services. Costs capitalized includeall direct costs for labor and materials, as well as various indirect costs. Costs incurred in connection with subsequent disconnects and reconnects areexpensed as they are incurred.We evaluate the recoverability of our property and equipment whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amountmay not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on the cash flows generated by the underlying asset groups, including estimated future operating results,trends or other determinants of fair value. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset group, wewould recognize an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded its estimated fair value. Unless presented separately, theimpairment charge is included as a component of depreciation expense.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K95 Table of ContentsComcast CorporationNote 12: Goodwill and Intangible AssetsGoodwill NBCUniversal (in millions)CableCommunicationsCableNetworksBroadcastTelevisionFilmedEntertainmentThemeParksSkyCorporateand OtherTotalBalance, December 31, 2016$12,645$13,183$806$2,993$6,341$—$12$35,980Acquisitions140241—32——5418Dispositions——————(11)(11)Adjustments(a)(1)1—185——1186Foreign currency translation—2—2203——207Balance, December 31, 201712,78413,4278063,2126,544—736,780Acquisitions(b)——36——29,889—29,925Dispositions———(8)——(5)(13)Adjustments—(13)1(9)———(21)Foreign currency translation—(7)—(11)140(639)—(517)Balance, December 31, 2018$12,784$13,407$843$3,184$6,684$29,250$2$66,154(a)Adjustments in 2017 primarily included the updated allocation of the purchase price for DreamWorks Animation.(b)Acquisitions in 2018 primarily included the Sky acquisition. As of December 31, 2018, all goodwill resulting from the Sky acquisition has been presented in the Sky segment. Ourevaluation of reporting units and assignment of goodwill resulting from the Sky acquisition are preliminary and subject to change. We will finalize the analysis no later than oneyear from the acquisition date. See Note 8 for further information on the Sky acquisition.Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination and represents thefuture economic benefits expected to arise from anticipated synergies and intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, includingassembled workforce, noncontractual relationships and other agreements. We assess the recoverability of our goodwill annually, or more frequently wheneverevents or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. We test goodwill forimpairment at the reporting unit level. To determine our reporting units, we evaluate the components one level below the segment level and we aggregate thecomponents if they have similar economic characteristics. As a result of this assessment, our reporting units are generally the same as our reportable segments.We evaluate the determination of our reporting units used to test for impairment periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstancesoccur. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to adetermination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative assessment is performed ifthe qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. The quantitative assessmentconsiders whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the reportingunit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Unless presented separately, the impairment charge is included as a component of amortization expense. We didnot recognize any impairment charges in any of the periods presented.Intangible Assets 2018(a)2017December 31 (in millions)Weighted-AverageOriginal Useful Lifeas of December 31, 2018GrossCarryingAmountAccumulatedAmortizationGrossCarryingAmountAccumulatedAmortizationIndefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Franchise rightsN/A$59,365 $59,364 Trade namesN/A9,633 2,981 FCC licensesN/A2,333 2,238 Finite-Lived Intangible Assets: Customer relationships16 years25,046$(6,682)13,612$(5,819)Software5 years11,395(5,990)8,258(4,846)Patents and other technology rights7 years260(234)259(221)Other agreements and rights18 years3,885(1,288)2,736(1,065)Total $111,917$(14,194)$89,448$(11,951)(a)In 2018, we recorded intangible assets in connection with the Sky acquisition, which primarily consisted of customer relationships and trade names (see Note 8 for additionalinformation). 96Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast CorporationIndefinite-Lived Intangible AssetsIndefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of our cable franchise rights. Our cable franchise rights represent the values we attributed to agreementswith state and local authorities that allow access to homes and businesses in cable service areas acquired in business combinations. We do not amortize ourcable franchise rights because we have determined that they meet the definition of indefinite-lived intangible assets since there are no legal, regulatory,contractual, competitive, economic or other factors which limit the period over which these rights will contribute to our cash flows. We reassess thisdetermination periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances occur.We assess the recoverability of our cable franchise rights and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, or more frequently whenever events orsubstantive changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Our three Cable Communications divisions represent the unit of account weuse to test for impairment of our cable franchise rights. We evaluate the unit of account used to test for impairment of our cable franchise rights and otherindefinite-lived intangible assets periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances occur to ensure impairment testing is performed atan appropriate level. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair valueof an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative assessment is performed if the qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. When performing a quantitative assessment, we estimate the fair value of ourcable franchise rights and other indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis that involves significant judgment.When analyzing the fair values indicated under the discounted cash flow models, we also consider multiples of Adjusted EBITDA generated by theunderlying assets, current market transactions and profitability information. If the fair value of our cable franchise rights or other indefinite-lived intangibleassets were less than the carrying amount, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carryingvalue of the assets.

Our finite-lived intangible assets are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life or the term of theassociated agreement.We capitalize direct development costs associated with internal-use software, including external direct costs of material and services and payroll costs foremployees devoting time to these software projects. We also capitalize costs associated with the purchase of software licenses. We generally amortize themon a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed five years. We expense maintenance and training costs, as well as costs incurred during the preliminarystage of a project, as they are incurred. We capitalize initial operating system software costs and amortize them over the life of the associated hardware.We evaluate the recoverability of our finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on the cash flows generated by the underlying asset groups, including estimated future operatingresults, trends or other determinants of fair value. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the assetgroup, we would recognize an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded its estimated fair value.

The amount ofcompensation deferred by each participant is based on participant elections. Participant accounts, except for those in the NBCUniversal plan, are creditedwith income primarily based on a fixed annual rate. Participants in the NBCUniversal plan designate one or more valuation funds, independently establishedfunds or indices that are used to determine the amount of investment gain or loss in the participant’s account. Participants are eligible to receive distributionsfrom their account based on elected deferral periods that are consistent with the plans and applicable tax law.We have purchased life insurance policies to recover a portion of the future payments related to our deferred compensation plans. As of December 31, 2018and 2017, the cash surrender value of these policies, which is recorded to other noncurrent assets, was $351 million and $820 million, respectively.Postretirement Benefit PlanYear ended December 31 (in millions)20182017Benefit obligation$408$425Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income not yet recognized in benefits expense$(439)$(458)We sponsor a retiree health and welfare benefit plan that provides postretirement benefits to eligible employees. The plan provides, to eligible employeeswho retire from Comcast or its subsidiaries, an annual stipend for reimbursement of certain eligible healthcare costs. The amount of the stipend for an eligibleretiree is fixed at a predetermined amount based on the retiree’s years of service and whether the retiree is eligible for Medicare. In December 2016, the planwas amended primarily to reduce the stipend benefits of active employees of Comcast and subsidiaries other than NBCUniversal who retire after December31, 2017, and in 2017 additional amendments were made to reduce the benefits of NBCUniversal employees who retire after December 31, 2017.Additionally, under the plan, a small number of employees are also eligible to participate in legacy plan benefits that were previously sponsored by acquiredcompanies.The plan is unfunded and substantially all of our postretirement benefit obligations are recorded to noncurrent liabilities. The expense we recognize for theplan is determined using certain assumptions, including the discount rate. The benefits expense we recognized for the plan was not material in any of theperiods presented.Pension PlansNBCUniversal sponsors various nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for domestic employees. Since the future benefits have been frozen since thebeginning of 2013, we did not recognize service costs related to the pension plans for any period presented. The benefits expense we recognized for ourdefined benefit plans was not material in any of the periods presented. In addition to the defined benefit plans it sponsors, NBCUniversal is also obligated toreimburse The General Electric Company (“GE”) for future benefit payments to those participants who were vested in the supplemental pension plansponsored by GE at the time of the NBCUniversal transaction in 2011. These pension plans are currently unfunded and we recorded a benefit obligation of$312 million and $338 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which consists primarily of our obligations to reimburse GE.Retirement Investment PlansWe sponsor several 401(k) defined contribution retirement plans that allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of their compensation through payrolldeductions in accordance with specified plan guidelines. We make contributions to the plans that include matching a percentage of the employees’contributions up to certain limits. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, expenses related to these plans totaled $546 million, $458 million and $446 million, respectively.Multiemployer Benefit PlansWe participate in various multiemployer benefit plans, including pension and postretirement benefit plans, that cover some of our employees and temporaryemployees who are represented by labor unions. We also participate in other multiemployer benefit plans that provide health and welfare and retirementsavings benefits to active and retired participants. We make periodic contributions to these plans in accordance with the terms of applicable collectivebargaining agreements and laws but do not 98Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsComcast Corporationsponsor or administer these plans. We do not participate in any multiemployer benefit plans for which we consider our contributions to be individuallysignificant.In 2018, 2017 and 2016, the total contributions we made to multiemployer pension plans were $102 million, $97 million and $84 million, respectively. In2018, 2017 and 2016, the total contributions we made to multiemployer postretirement and other benefit plans were $183 million, $152 million and $136million, respectively.If we cease to be obligated to make contributions or were to otherwise withdraw from participation in any of these plans, applicable law would require us tofund our allocable share of the unfunded vested benefits, which is known as a withdrawal liability. In addition, actions taken by other participatingemployers may lead to adverse changes in the financial condition of one of these plans, which could result in an increase in our withdrawal liability.Severance BenefitsWe provide severance benefits to certain former employees. A liability is recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and theobligation relates to rights that have vested or accumulated. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we recorded severance costs of $243 million, $203 million and $315million, respectively. Severance costs in 2016 included $61 million of severance costs associated with the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation.Note 14: EquityCommon StockIn the aggregate, holders of our Class A common stock have 662/3% of the voting power of our common stock and holders of our Class B common stock have331/3% of the voting power of our common stock, which percentage is generally non-dilutable under the terms of our articles of incorporation.

The arrangement provides thecounterparty with the right to periodic payments associated with current period revenue which are recorded as an operating expense, and beginning in June2017, the option to require NBCUniversal to purchase the interest for cash in an amount based on a contractual formula. The contractual formula is based onan average of specified historical theme park revenue at the time of exercise, which amount could be significantly higher than our carrying value. As ofDecember 31, 2018, our carrying value was $1.1 billion, and the value of the contractual obligation was $1.6 billion based on inputs to the contractualformula as of that date.Redeemable Subsidiary Preferred StockNBCUniversal Enterprise is a holding company that we control and consolidate whose principal assets are its interests in NBCUniversal Holdings. Theholders of the Series A cumulative preferred stock of NBCUniversal Enterprise have the right to cause NBCUniversal Enterprise to redeem their shares at aprice equal to the $725 million aggregate liquidation preference plus accrued but unpaid dividends for a 30 day period beginning on March 19, 2020 andthereafter on every third anniversary of such date (each such date, a “put date”). The NBCUniversal Enterprise preferred stock pays dividends at a fixed rate of5.25% per year. Shares of preferred stock can be called for redemption by NBCUniversal Enterprise at a price equal to the liquidation preference plus accruedbut unpaid dividends one year following the put date applicable to such shares. Because certain of these redemption provisions are outside of our control, theNBCUniversal Enterprise preferred stock is presented outside of equity under the caption “redeemable noncontrolling interests and redeemable subsidiarypreferred stock” in our consolidated balance sheet. Its initial value was based on the liquidation preference of the preferred stock and is adjusted for accruedbut unpaid dividends. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of the NBCUniversal Enterprise redeemable subsidiary preferred stock was $741million and $748 million, respectively.

Item 9B: Other InformationIran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act DisclosurePursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, companies are required, among other things, to disclose certainactivities, transactions or dealings with the Government of Iran or entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Government of Iran. Disclosure is generallyrequired even where the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and are de minimis. As of thedate of this report, we are not aware of any activity, transaction or dealing during the year ended December 31, 2018 that requires disclosure under the Act,except with respect to the following:•Prior to our August 2016 acquisition of DreamWorks Animation, a non-U.S. subsidiary of DreamWorks Animation entered into a licensingagreement in January 2016 that licensed a prior season of a children’s animated television series for a three-year, non-cancelable term and for a one-time fee of $5,200 to a broadcasting company that is owned and controlled by the Government of Iran. The broadcasting company paid the licensefee in the first quarter of 2016. We believe that DreamWorks Animation conducted its licensing activity in compliance with applicable laws and thatthe license is for the permissible exportation of informational materials pursuant to certain statutory and regulatory exemptions from U.S. sanctions.•Prior to our fourth quarter 2018 acquisition of Sky, a non-U.S. subsidiary of Sky entered into two licensing agreements that licensed some of Sky’sowned programming content to a broadcasting company that is owned and controlled by the Government of Iran. The first agreement was enteredinto in June 2012, and was amended in July 2016, to license 150 hours of programming content for various three-year license terms for a one-timefee of €86,250. The last remaining programming license under this agreement expires in January 2019. The second agreement was entered into inJune 2015 to license 80 hours of programming content for various three-year license terms for a one-time fee of €45,700. To date, no programmingcontent has been provided, and the license fee has not been paid, pursuant to the agreement. We believe that Sky conducted its licensing activity incompliance with applicable laws and that the licenses are for the permissible exportation of informational materials pursuant to certain statutory andregulatory exemptions from U.S. sanctions.Amended and Restated By-LawsEffective January 30, 2019, Comcast’s Board of Directors adopted amendments to the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Comcast, primarily to (i) amendSections 2.01 and 2.04 to more closely track provisions in the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, including with respect to providing ten days’prior notice for meetings of shareholders that will consider certain fundamental transactions under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and five days’prior notice for all other meetings, and (ii) amend Sections 4.01 and 4.02 to permit the Board to delegate the appointment of certain subordinate officers toofficers of the corporation and delete Section 4.07, which had provided for the rank and duties of all officers of the corporation.

The Company is not required to have, norwere we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures inthe financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion./s/ Deloitte & Touche LLPNew York, New YorkJanuary 31, 2019We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2011.Comcast 2018 Annual

Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesUnless indicated otherwise, throughout these notes to the consolidated financial statements, we refer to NBCUniversal and its consolidated subsidiaries as“we,” “us” and “our.” We are one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies that develops, produces and distributes entertainment, news andinformation, sports, and other content for global audiences, and owns and operates theme parks worldwide.We present our operations as the following four reportable business segments: Cable Networks, Broadcast Television, Filmed Entertainment and ThemeParks. See Note 2 for additional information on our reportable business segments.Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include all entities in which we have a controlling voting interest and variable interest entities (“VIEs”)required to be consolidated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Transactions between NBCUniversaland both Comcast and Comcast’s consolidated subsidiaries are reflected in these consolidated financial statements and disclosed as related party transactionswhen material.We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign operations where the functional currency is the local currency, primarily the Japanese yen, euro, Britishpound and Chinese renminbi, into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date and translate revenue and expenses using average monthlyexchange rates. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidatedbalance sheet. Any foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in our consolidated statement of income.Accounting PoliciesOur consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to select accounting policies, including in certain casesindustry-specific policies, and make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure ofcontingent assets and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We believe that the judgments and related estimates for thefollowing items are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:•film and television costs (see Note 4)•goodwill and intangible assets (see Note 11)In addition, the following accounting policy is specific to the industries in which we operate:•capitalization and amortization of film and television costs (see Note 4)Information on other accounting policies and methods that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are included, where applicable,in their respective footnotes that follow. Below is a discussion of accounting policies and methods used in our consolidated financial statements that are notpresented within other footnotes.Advertising ExpensesAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred.Cash EquivalentsThe carrying amounts of our cash equivalents approximate their fair values. Our cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds and U.S.government obligations, as well as commercial paper and certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less when purchased.Derivative Financial InstrumentsWe use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Ourobjective is to manage the financial and operational exposure arising from these risks by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gainsand losses on the derivatives used to economically hedge them.Our derivative financial instruments are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The impact of our derivative financial instruments on ourconsolidated financial statements was not material in any of the periods presented. 135Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCFair Value MeasurementsThe accounting guidance related to fair value measurements establishes a hierarchy based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques(market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below.•Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market•Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar financial instruments and valuation models whose inputs are observable•Level 3: Values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies orsimilar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimationWe use these levels of hierarchy to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as for investments; on a non-recurringbasis, such as for acquisitions and impairment testing; for disclosure purposes, such as long-term debt; and for other applications, as discussed in theirrespective footnotes. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuationand classification within the fair value hierarchy.Note 2: Segment InformationOur Cable Networks segment consists primarily of a diversified portfolio of cable television networks. Our Cable Networks segment is comprised of ournational cable networks that provide a variety of entertainment, news and information, and sports content; our regional sports and news networks; ourinternational cable networks; our cable television studio production operations; and our various digital properties.Our Broadcast Television segment consists primarily of the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, our NBC and Telemundo owned local broadcasttelevision stations, the NBC Universo national cable network, our broadcast television studio production operations, and our various digital properties.Our Filmed Entertainment segment primarily produces, acquires, markets and distributes filmed entertainment worldwide. Our films are produced primarilyunder the Universal Pictures, Illumination, DreamWorks Animation and Focus Features names.Our Theme Parks segment consists primarily of our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood, California; and Osaka, Japan. In addition, alongwith a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies, we are developing a Universal theme park and resort in Beijing, China.We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the profitability of our operating segments, and the components of net income attributable to NBCUniversal excludedfrom Adjusted EBITDA are not separately evaluated. To be consistent with our current management reporting presentation, certain 2018, 2017 and 2016operating results were reclassified related to certain NBCUniversal businesses now presented in Headquarters and Other. We do not present a measure of totalassets for our reportable business segments as this information is not used by management to allocate resources and capital.

Our Broadcast Television segment generates distribution revenue from the fees received under retransmission consent agreements andassociated fees received from NBC-affiliated local broadcast television stations.Distribution revenue is accounted for as a license of functional intellectual property and is recognized as programming is provided on a monthly basis,generally under multiyear agreements. Monthly fees received under distribution agreements with multichannel video providers are generally based on thenumber of subscribers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include payment within 30 to 60 days.AdvertisingOur Cable Networks and Broadcast Television segments generate advertising revenue from the sale of advertising on our cable and broadcast networks, ourowned local broadcast television stations and various digital properties.We enter into advertising arrangements with customers and have determined that a contract exists once all terms and conditions are agreed upon, typicallywhen the number of advertising units is specifically identified and the timing of airing is scheduled. Advertisements are generally aired or viewed within oneyear once all terms are agreed upon. Advertising revenue is recognized, net of agency commissions, in the period in which advertisements are aired or viewedand payment occurs thereafter, with payment generally required within 30 days. In some instances, we guarantee audience ratings for the advertisements. Tothe extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically byproviding additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing.TheatricalOur Filmed Entertainment segment generates theatrical revenue from the worldwide theatrical release of our produced and acquired films for exhibition inmovie theaters. Theatrical revenue is affected by the timing, nature and number of films released in movie 138Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCtheaters and their acceptance by audiences. It is also affected by the number of exhibition screens, ticket prices, the percentage of ticket sale retention by theexhibitors and the popularity of competing films at the time our films are released. We recognize theatrical revenue as the films are viewed and exhibited intheaters and payment generally occurs within 30 days after exhibition.Content LicensingOur Cable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments generate revenue from the licensing of our owned film and television contentin the United States and internationally to cable, broadcast and premium networks and subscription video on demand services. Our content licensingagreements generally include fixed pricing and span multiple years. For example, following a film’s theatrical release, our Filmed Entertainment segmentmay license the exhibition rights of a film to different customers over multiple successive distribution windows.We recognize revenue when the content is delivered and available for use by the licensee. When the term of an existing agreement is renewed or extended, werecognize revenue at the later of when the content is available or when the renewal or extension period begins. Payment terms and conditions vary bycontract type, although payments are generally collected over the license term. The amount of future revenue to be earned related to fixed pricing underexisting agreements primarily relates to our Filmed Entertainment segment, which at any given time equals approximately 1 to 2 years of our annual FilmedEntertainment content licensing revenue. The majority of this revenue will be recognized within 2 years. This amount may fluctuate from period to perioddepending on the timing of the releases and the availability of content under existing agreements and may not represent the total content licensing revenueexpected to be recognized as it does not include revenue from future agreements or from variable pricing or optional purchases under existing agreements.For our content licensing agreements that include variable pricing, such as pricing based on the number of subscribers to a subscription video on demandservice sold by our customers, we generally recognize revenue as our customers sell to their subscribers.Home EntertainmentOur Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenue from the sale of our produced and acquired films on standard-definition digital video discs and Blu-raydiscs (together, “DVDs”) and through digital distribution services. Our Cable Networks and Broadcast Television networks also generate revenue from thesale of owned programming on DVDs and through digital distribution services, which is reported in other revenue. We generally recognize revenue fromDVD sales, net of estimated returns and customer incentives, on the date that DVDs are delivered to and made available for sale by retailers. Payment termsgenerally include payment within 60 to 90 days from delivery to the retailer.Theme ParksOur Theme Parks segment generates revenue primarily from ticket sales and guest spending at our Universal theme parks in Orlando, Florida; Hollywood,California; and Osaka, Japan. Guest spending includes in-park spending on food, beverages and merchandise. We recognize revenue from theme park ticketsales when the tickets are used, generally within a year from the date of purchase. For annual passes, we generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basisover the period the pass is available to be used. We recognize revenue from guest spending at the point of sale.Consolidated Balance SheetThe following tables summarize our accounts receivable and other balances that are not separately presented in our consolidated balance sheet that relate tothe recognition of revenue and collection of the related cash.December 31 (in millions)2018 2017Receivables, gross$7,392 $7,055Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts99 88Receivables, net$7,293 $6,967December 31 (in millions)2018 2017Noncurrent receivables (included in other noncurrent assets, net)$1,180 $1,093Noncurrent deferred revenue (included in other noncurrent liabilities)$481 $392Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K139 Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCNote 4: Film and Television CostsDecember 31 (in millions)20182017Film Costs: Released, less amortization$1,600$1,734Completed, not released14450In production and in development1,0631,149 2,8072,933Television Costs: Released, less amortization2,1612,260In production and in development953818 3,1143,078Programming rights, less amortization2,6942,677 8,6158,688Less: Current portion of programming rights1,3231,606Film and television costs$7,292$7,082Based on our current estimates of the total remaining revenue from all sources (“ultimate revenue”), in 2019 we expect to amortize approximately $1.6billion of film and television costs associated with our original film and television productions that have been released, or are completed and have not beenreleased. Through 2021, we expect to amortize approximately 83% of unamortized film and television costs for our released productions, excluding amountsallocated to acquired libraries.As of December 31, 2018, acquired film and television libraries, which are included within the “released, less amortization” captions in the table above, hadremaining unamortized costs of $396 million. These costs are generally amortized over a period not to exceed 20 years, and approximately 48% of thesecosts are expected to be amortized through 2021.Capitalization of Film and Television CostsWe capitalize film and television production costs, including direct costs, production overhead, print costs, development costs and interest. We amortizecapitalized film and television production costs, including acquired libraries, and accrue costs associated with participation and residual payments toprogramming and production expenses. We generally record the amortization and the accrued costs using the individual film forecast computation method,which amortizes the costs in the same ratio as the associated ultimate revenue. Estimates of ultimate revenue and total costs are based on anticipated releasepatterns, public acceptance and historical results for similar productions. Unamortized film and television production costs, including acquired libraries, arestated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. We do not capitalize costs related to the distribution of a film in movie theaters or the licensing or sale ofa film or television production, which primarily include costs associated with marketing and distribution.In determining the method of amortization and estimated life of an acquired film or television library, we generally use the method and the life that mostclosely follow the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated life of the asset.When an event or a change in circumstance occurs that was known or knowable as of the balance sheet date and that indicates the fair value of a film is lessthan its unamortized costs, we determine the fair value of the film and record an impairment charge for the amount by which the unamortized capitalizedcosts exceed the film’s fair value. The estimated fair value of a production is based on Level 3 inputs that primarily use an analysis of future expected cashflows. Adjustments to capitalized film production costs were not material in any of the periods presented.We may enter into cofinancing arrangements with third parties to jointly finance or distribute certain of our film productions. Cofinancing arrangements cantake various forms, but in most cases involve the grant of an economic interest in a film to an investor. The number of investors and the terms of thesearrangements can vary, although investors generally assume the full risks and rewards for the portion of the film acquired in these arrangements. We accountfor the proceeds received from a third-party investor under these arrangements as a reduction to our capitalized film costs. Under these arrangements, theinvestor owns an undivided copyright interest in the film, and therefore in each period we record either a charge or a benefit to programming and productionexpenses to reflect the estimate of the third-party investor’s interest in the profit or loss of the film. The estimate of the third-party investor’s interest in theprofit or loss of a film is determined using the ratio of actual revenue earned to date to the ultimate revenue expected to be recognized over the film’s usefullife.We capitalize the costs of programming content that we license but do not own, including rights to multiyear, live-event sports programming, at the earlier ofwhen payments are made for the programming or when the license period begins and the content is made available for use. We amortize capitalizedprogramming costs as the associated programs are broadcast. We generally 140Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCamortize multiyear, live-event sports programming rights using the ratio of the current period revenue to the estimated ultimate revenue or under the terms ofthe contract.Programming costs are recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value on a program by program, package, channel or daypart basis. Adaypart is an aggregation of programs broadcast during a particular time of day or programs of a similar type. Programming acquired by our Cable Networkssegment is primarily tested on a channel basis for impairment, whereas programming acquired by our Broadcast Television segment is tested on a daypartbasis. If we determine that the estimates of future cash flows are insufficient or if there is no plan to broadcast certain programming, we recognize animpairment charge to programming and production expenses.Note 5: Income TaxesComponents of Income Tax Expense Year ended December 31 (in millions)201820172016Foreign Current income tax expense$230$201$38Deferred income tax expense(31)(7)96Withholding tax expense163187158U.S. domestic tax expense(11)1113Income tax expense$351$392$305We are a limited liability company, and our company is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from NBCUniversal Holdings, atax partnership. For U.S federal and state income tax purposes, our income is included in tax returns filed by Comcast and its subsidiaries, and therefore weare not expected to incur any significant current or deferred U.S. domestic income taxes. Our tax liability is comprised primarily of withholding tax onforeign licensing activity and income taxes on foreign earnings. As a result of our tax status, the deferred tax assets and liabilities included in ourconsolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were not material.In jurisdictions in which we are subject to income taxes, we base our provision for income taxes on our current period income, changes in our deferred incometax assets and liabilities, income tax rates, changes in estimates of our uncertain tax positions, and tax planning opportunities available in the jurisdictions inwhich we operate. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities when there are temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis ofour assets and liabilities and for the expected benefits of using net operating loss carryforwards. When a change in the tax rate or tax law has an impact ondeferred taxes, we apply the change based on the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We record the change in our consolidatedfinancial statements in the period of enactment.We classify interest and penalties, if any, associated with our uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.Uncertain Tax PositionsWe retain liabilities for uncertain tax positions where we are the tax filer of record. GE and Comcast have indemnified NBCUniversal Holdings and us withrespect to our income tax obligations attributable to periods prior to Comcast’s acquisition of NBCUniversal, including indemnification of uncertain taxpositions for these periods. The liabilities for uncertain tax positions included in our consolidated balance sheet were not material as of December 31, 2018and 2017.Various domestic and foreign tax authorities are examining our tax returns through tax year 2017. The majority of the periods under examination relate to taxyears 2010 and forward.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K141 Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCNote 6: Long-Term DebtLong-Term Debt Outstanding December 31 (in millions)Weighted-Average InterestRate as of December 31,2018 20182017Term loans (a)1.30% $4,122$3,860Senior notes with maturities of 5 years or less, at face value4.39% 5,0004,000Senior notes with maturities between 5 and 10 years, at face value— —1,000Senior notes with maturities greater than 10 years, at face value5.50% 2,7592,759Notes due 2049 to Comcast4.00% 610610Other, including capital lease obligations— 427276Debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts, net— (36)(32)Total debt3.58% 12,88212,473Less: Current portion 151198Long-term debt $12,731$12,275(a)Term loans consist of the following, with foreign currency denominated borrowings translated using the exchange rates as of each date:•Universal Studios Japan: ¥390 billion and ¥435 billion as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively•Universal Beijing Resort: ¥4 billion RMB as of December 31, 2018 (see Note 7)As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our debt, excluding our revolving credit agreement with Comcast, had an estimated fair value of $13.2 billion and $13.5billion, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, outstanding debt securities of $86.4 billion of Comcast and CCCLParent were subject to the cross-guarantee structure.We do not, however, guarantee the obligations of NBCUniversal Enterprise with respect to its $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, itsrevolving credit facility, its commercial paper program, nor its $725 million liquidation preference of Series A cumulative preferred stock.The Universal Studios Japan term loans are not subject to the cross-guarantee structure, however they have a separate guarantee from Comcast.The Universal Beijing Resort term loans are not guaranteed. 142Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCNote 7: Significant Transactions 2018Universal Beijing ResortWe entered into an agreement with a consortium of Chinese state-owned companies to build and operate a Universal theme park and resort in Beijing, China(“Universal Beijing Resort”). We own a 30% interest in Universal Beijing Resort and the construction is being funded through a combination of debtfinancing and equity contributions from the investors in accordance with their equity interests. The debt financing, which is being provided by a syndicate ofChinese financial institutions, contains certain financial and operating covenants and a maximum borrowing limit of ¥26.6 billion RMB (approximately $4billion). The debt financing is secured by the assets of Universal Beijing Resort and the equity interests of the investors. As of December 31, 2018, UniversalBeijing Resort had borrowed approximately $569 million under the financing agreement.We have concluded that Universal Beijing Resort is a variable interest entity based on its governance structure, and we consolidate it because we have thepower to direct activities that most significantly impact its economic performance. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other financialcommitments between us and Universal Beijing Resort, and therefore our maximum risk of financial loss is our 30% interest. Universal Beijing Resort’sresults of operations are reported in our Theme Parks segment.In March 2018, Universal Beijing Resort received initial equity investments through a combination of cash and noncash contributions from the investors. Asof December 31, 2018, our consolidated balance sheet included assets, primarily including property and equipment, and liabilities of Universal BeijingResort totaling $1.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.2017FCC Spectrum AuctionOn April 13, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission announced the results of its spectrum auction. In the auction, we relinquished our spectrumrights in the New York, Philadelphia and Chicago designated market areas (“DMAs”) where NBC and Telemundo had overlapping spectrum. We receivedproceeds of $482 million in July 2017, which were recorded in other investing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We recognized a pretaxgain of $337 million in other operating gains in 2017. NBC and Telemundo stations share broadcast signals in these DMAs.Universal Studios JapanOn April 6, 2017, we acquired the remaining interests in Universal Studios Japan that we did not already own for $2.3 billion. The acquisition was fundedthrough borrowings under our revolving credit agreement with Comcast. Because we maintained control of Universal Studios Japan, the difference betweenthe consideration transferred and the recorded value of the noncontrolling interests, as well as the related accumulated other comprehensive income impacts,were recorded to additional paid-in capital.2016DreamWorks AnimationOn August 22, 2016, Comcast acquired all of the outstanding stock of DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion. DreamWorks Animation’s stockholdersreceived $41 in cash for each share of DreamWorks Animation common stock. DreamWorks Animation creates animated feature films, television series andspecials, live entertainment, and related consumer products. In our allocation of purchase price for this acquisition, we recorded goodwill of $2.8 billion andfilm and television costs of $838 million.Following the acquisition, Comcast converted DreamWorks Animation to a limited liability company and contributed its equity to us as a capitalcontribution. The net assets contributed to us excluded deferred income taxes and other tax-related items recorded by Comcast. The results of operations forDreamWorks Animation are reported in our Filmed Entertainment segment following the acquisition date and are presented as if the initial equitycontribution occurred on the date of Comcast’s acquisition.Note 8: Recent Accounting PronouncementsRevenue RecognitionIn May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. The updated accountingguidance provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model to help improve financial reporting by providing clearer guidance on when an entityshould recognize revenue and by reducing the number of standards to which an entity has to refer. The core principle of the new standard is that a companyshould recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the companyexpects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K143 Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCWe adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis, which required us to reflect the impact of the updated guidance for allperiods presented.The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented. Theupdated guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue transactions. See Note 3 for additionalinformation.The tables below present the effects on our consolidated statement of income and balance sheet for the prior year periods presented.Consolidated Statement of IncomeYear ended December 31, 2017 (in millions)Previously ReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedRevenue$32,997$(47)$32,950Total costs and expenses$26,516$(43)$26,473Operating income$6,481$(4)$6,477Net income attributable to NBCUniversal$5,084$(4)$5,080Year ended December 31, 2016 (in millions)Previously ReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedRevenue$31,593$(195)$31,398Total costs and expenses$26,171$(131)$26,040Operating income$5,422$(64)$5,358Net income attributable to NBCUniversal$4,235$(64)$4,171Consolidated Balance SheetDecember 31, 2017 (in millions)Previously ReportedEffects of AdoptionAs AdjustedTotal current assets$11,673$284$11,957Film and television costs$7,071$11$7,082Other noncurrent assets, net$1,872$(68)$1,804Total assets$71,073$227$71,300 Total current liabilities$9,602$330$9,932Other noncurrent liabilities$4,109$44$4,153Total equity$43,188$(147)$43,041Total liabilities and equity$71,073$227$71,300The adoption of the updated guidance impacted the timing of recognition for some of our revenue contracts, primarily for content licensing agreements. As aresult of the adoption of the updated guidance, when the term of an existing content licensing agreement is renewed or extended, revenue is not recognizeduntil the date when the renewal or extension period begins. Under the prior guidance, revenue for the content licensing renewal period was recognized on thedate that the renewal was agreed to contractually. This change resulted in delayed revenue recognition for content licensing renewals or extensions in ourCable Networks, Broadcast Television and Filmed Entertainment segments. This change also impacted the timing of the related amortization of our film andtelevision costs and participations and residuals expenses. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on the results of operationsor financial position for the reportable segments.Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIn January 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. Theupdated accounting guidance, among other things, requires that all nonconsolidated equity investments, except those accounted for under the equitymethod, be measured at fair value and the changes in fair value be recognized in net income. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the updated guidanceprospectively along with a related clarifying update and as a result, we recorded a $232 million cumulative effect adjustment to member's capital andaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 9 for additional information.Restricted CashIn November 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to restricted cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows presentthe change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, and areconciliation of that total to amounts presented on the balance sheet. We 144Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCadopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2018 and as required applied the retrospective transition method. The adoption did not have a material impactfor any period presented.LeasesIn February 2016, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to leases. The updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-useasset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. The asset and liability are initially measured based on thepresent value of committed lease payments. For a lessee, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease donot significantly change from previous guidance. For a lessor, the accounting applied is also largely unchanged from previous guidance. We will adopt theupdated accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2019 and prior periods will not be adjusted. We are currently in the process of determining the impact thatthe updated accounting will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Equity method investments are recorded at cost and areadjusted to recognize (1) our proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment, (2) amortization of the recorded investmentthat exceeds our share of the book value of the investee’s net assets, (3) additional contributions made and dividends received, and (4) impairments resultingfrom other-than-temporary declines in fair value. For some investments, we record our share of the investee’s net income or loss one quarter in arrears due tothe timing of our receipt of such information. Gains or losses on the sale of equity method investments are recorded to other income (loss), net. If an equitymethod investee were to issue additional securities that would change our proportionate share of the entity, we would recognize the change, if any, as a gainor loss to other income (loss), net.HuluAs of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our investment in Hulu was $248 million and $249 million, respectively. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we made cash capitalcontributions totaling $454 million, $300 million and $50 million, respectively, to Hulu. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we recognized our proportionate share ofHulu’s losses of $454 million, $276 million and $168 million, respectively, in equity in net income (losses) of investees, net.In August 2016, Time Warner Inc. acquired a 10% interest in Hulu, which diluted our interest in Hulu from 33% to 30%. For a period not to exceed 3 years,Time Warner may put its shares to Hulu or Hulu may call Time Warner’s shares under certain limited circumstances arising from regulatory review. Given thecontingent nature of the put and call options, we recorded a deferred gain of $159 million and a corresponding increase to our investment in Hulu as a resultof the dilution. The deferred gain will be recognized in other income (loss), net if and when the options expire unexercised.The Weather ChannelIn March 2018, we sold our investment in The Weather Channel cable network and recognized a pretax gain of $64 million in other income (loss), net.In January 2016, following a legal restructuring at The Weather Channel, we and the other investors sold the entity holding The Weather Channel’s productand technology businesses to IBM. Following the close of the transaction, we continued to hold anComcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K145 Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCinvestment in The Weather Channel cable network through a new holding company. As a result of the sale of our investment, we recognized a pretax gain of$108 million in other income (loss), net.Marketable Equity SecuritiesWe classify publicly traded investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as marketable equitysecurities. Marketable equity securities are recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. The changes in fair value betweenmeasurement dates are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. The fair values of our marketable equity securities are basedon Level 1 inputs that use quoted market prices.SnapIn March 2017, Comcast acquired an interest in Snap Inc. as part of its initial public offering. On March 31, 2017, Comcast contributed its investment in Snapto us as an equity contribution of $662 million, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of equity based on the fair value of the investment as ofMarch 31, 2017. We have classified our investment as a marketable security. Snap is a camera company whose primary product is Snapchat, a camera app thatwas created to help people communicate through short videos and images. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had an investment in Snap of $162 millionand $430 million, respectively. In 2018, we recognized unrealized losses of $268 million in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, netrelated to our investment in Snap. Prior to the updated accounting guidance, unrealized gains and losses related to our investment in Snap were recorded toaccumulated other comprehensive income.Nonmarketable Equity SecuritiesWe classify investments without readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method as nonmarketable equity securities. Theaccounting guidance requires nonmarketable equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, theguidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observableprice changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer. We apply this measurement alternative to our nonmarketable equity securities. When anobservable event occurs, we estimate the fair values of our nonmarketable equity securities based on Level 2 inputs that are derived from observable pricechanges of similar securities adjusted for insignificant differences in rights and obligations. The changes in value are recorded in realized and unrealizedgains (losses) on equity securities, net.Impairment Testing of InvestmentsWe review our investment portfolio, other than our marketable equity securities, each reporting period to determine whether there are identified events orcircumstances that would indicate there is a decline in the fair value. For our nonpublic investments, if there are no identified events or circumstances thatwould have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, then the fair value is not estimated. For our equity method investments and held tomaturity investments, if an investment is deemed to have experienced an other-than-temporary decline below its cost basis, we reduce the carrying amount ofthe investment to its quoted or estimated fair value, as applicable, and establish a new cost basis for the investment. For our nonmarketable equity securities,we record the impairment to realized and unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities, net. For our equity method investments and our held to maturityinvestments, we record the impairment to other income (loss), net.Note 10: Property and EquipmentDecember 31 (in millions)Weighted-AverageOriginal Useful Lifeas of December 31, 201820182017Buildings and leasehold improvements31 years$8,877$8,124Furniture, fixtures and equipment11 years5,5014,843Construction in processN/A2,6761,506LandN/A1,1291,039Property and equipment, at cost 18,18315,512Less: Accumulated depreciation 4,9944,166Property and equipment, net $13,189$11,346Property and equipment are stated at cost.

For assets that are sold or retired, we remove the applicable cost andaccumulated depreciation and, unless the gain or loss on disposition is presented separately, we recognize it as a component of depreciation expense. 146Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCWe evaluate the recoverability of our property and equipment whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amountmay not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on the cash flows generated by the underlying asset groups, including estimated future operating results,trends or other determinants of fair value. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset group, wewould recognize an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded its estimated fair value. Unless presented separately, theimpairment charge is included as a component of depreciation expense.Note 11: Goodwill and Intangible AssetsGoodwill(in millions)CableNetworksBroadcastTelevisionFilmedEntertainmentThemeParksTotalBalance, December 31, 2016$13,183$806$2,993$6,341$23,323Acquisitions241—32—273Adjustments(a)1—185—186Foreign currency translation2—2203207Balance, December 31, 201713,4278063,2126,54423,989Acquisitions—36——36Dispositions——(8)—(8)Adjustments(13)1(9)—(21)Foreign currency translation(7)—(11)140122Balance, December 31, 2018$13,407$843$3,184$6,684$24,118(a)Adjustments in 2017 primarily included the updated allocation of the purchase price for DreamWorks Animation.Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination and represents thefuture economic benefits expected to arise from anticipated synergies and intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, includingassembled workforce, noncontractual relationships and other agreements. We assess the recoverability of our goodwill annually, or more frequently wheneverevents or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. We test goodwill forimpairment at the reporting unit level. To determine our reporting units, we evaluate the components one level below the segment level and we aggregate thecomponents if they have similar economic characteristics. As a result of this assessment, our reporting units are generally the same as our four reportablesegments. We evaluate the determination of our reporting units used to test for impairment periodically or whenever events or substantive changes incircumstances occur. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstancesleads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative assessment isperformed if the qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. The quantitativeassessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent thereporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Unless presented separately, the impairment charge is included as a component of amortization expense.We did not recognize any impairment charges in any of the periods presented.Intangible Assets 20182017December 31 (in millions)Weighted-AverageOriginal Useful Lifeas of December 31, 2018GrossCarryingAmountAccumulatedAmortizationGrossCarryingAmountAccumulatedAmortizationFinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Customer relationships19 years$13,269$(6,283)$13,301$(5,643)Software5 years1,779(932)1,516(737)Other19 years3,619(1,375)2,580(1,205)Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Trade namesN/A2,981 2,981 FCC licensesN/A608 513 Total $22,256$(8,590)$20,891$(7,585)Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K147 Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCIndefinite-Lived Intangible AssetsIndefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names and FCC licenses.

We evaluate the unit of account used totest for impairment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets periodically or whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances occur to ensureimpairment testing is performed at an appropriate level. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is morelikely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. A quantitative assessment is performed if thequalitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. When performing a quantitativeassessment, we estimate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis that involves significantjudgment. When analyzing the fair values indicated under the discounted cash flow models, we also consider multiples of Adjusted EBITDA generated bythe underlying assets, current market transactions and profitability information. If the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than thecarrying amount, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the assets. Unlesspresented separately, the impairment charge is included as a component of amortization expense.

We also capitalize costs associated with the purchase of software licenses. We generally amortize themon a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed five years. We expense maintenance and training costs, as well as costs incurred during the preliminarystage of a project, as they are incurred. We capitalize initial operating system software costs and amortize them over the life of the associated hardware.We evaluate the recoverability of our finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or substantive changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount may not be recoverable.

The plan provides credit to employees for lengthof service provided before Comcast’s acquisition of NBCUniversal.The plan provides eligible employees who retire from NBCUniversal with an annual stipend for reimbursement of certain eligible healthcare costs. Theamount of the stipend for an eligible retiree is fixed at a predetermined amount based on the retiree’s years of service and whether the retiree is eligible forMedicare. In 2017, the plan was amended primarily to reduce the benefits of active employees who retire after December 31, 2017.The plan is unfunded and substantially all of our postretirement benefit obligations are recorded to noncurrent liabilities. The expense we recognize for theplan is determined using certain assumptions, including the discount rate. The benefits expense we recognized for the plan was not material in any of theperiods presented.Pension PlansWe sponsor various nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for domestic employees. Since the future benefits have been frozen since the beginning of2013, we did not recognize service costs related to our pension plans in any of the periods presented. The benefits expense we recognized for our definedbenefit plans was not material for any period presented. In addition to the defined benefit plans we sponsor, we are also obligated to reimburse The GeneralElectric Company (“GE”) for future benefit payments to those participants who were vested in the supplemental pension plan sponsored by GE at the time ofComcast’s acquisition of NBCUniversal. These pension plans are currently unfunded and we recorded a benefit obligation of $312 million and $338 millionas of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which consists primarily of our obligations to reimburse GE.Retirement Investment PlansWe sponsor several defined contribution retirement plans, including 401(k) plans, that allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of theircompensation through payroll deductions in accordance with specified plan guidelines. We make contributions to the plans that include matching apercentage of the employees’ contributions up to certain limits. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, expenses related to these plans totaled $213 million, $201 millionand $185 million, respectively.Multiemployer Benefit PlansWe participate in various multiemployer benefit plans, including pension and postretirement benefit plans, that cover some of our employees and temporaryemployees who are represented by labor unions. We also participate in other multiemployer benefit plans that provide health and welfare and retirementsavings benefits to active and retired participants. We make periodic contributions to these plans in accordance with the terms of applicable collectivebargaining agreements and laws but do not sponsor or administer these plans. We do not participate in any multiemployer benefit plans for which weconsider our contributions to be individually significant.In 2018, 2017 and 2016, the total contributions we made to multiemployer pension plans were $102 million, $97 million and $84 million, respectively. In2018, 2017 and 2016, the total contributions we made to multiemployer postretirement and other benefit plans were $183 million, $152 million and $136million, respectively.If we cease to be obligated to make contributions or were to otherwise withdraw from participation in any of these plans, applicable law would require us tofund our allocable share of the unfunded vested benefits, which is known as a withdrawal liability. In addition, actions taken by other participatingemployers may lead to adverse changes in the financial condition of one of these plans, which could result in an increase in our withdrawal liability.Severance BenefitsWe provide severance benefits to certain former employees. A liability is recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and theobligation relates to rights that have vested or accumulated. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we recorded severance costs of $146 million, $108 million and $165million, respectively.

The arrangement provides thecounterparty with the right to periodic payments associated with current period revenue which are recorded as an operating expense, and beginning in June2017, the option to require NBCUniversal to purchase the interest for cash in an amount based on a contractual formula. The contractual formula is based onan average of specified historical theme park revenue at the time of exercise, which amount could be significantly higher than our carrying value. As ofDecember 31, 2018, our carrying value was $1.1 billion, and the estimated value of the contractual obligation was $1.6 billion based on inputs to thecontractual formula as of that date.Note 15: Related Party TransactionsIn the ordinary course of our business, we enter into transactions with Comcast.We generate revenue from Comcast primarily from the distribution of our cable network programming, the fees received under retransmission consentagreements in our Broadcast Television segment and, to a lesser extent, the sale of advertising and our owned programming, and we incur expenses primarilyrelated to advertising and various support services provided by Comcast to us.In September 2016, as part of the Comcast cash management process, we and Comcast amended and restated our revolving credit agreements to increase theamount that we can borrow from Comcast and that Comcast can borrow from us from $3 billion to $5 billion and to extend the maturity date to 2026.Depending on the receivable or payable position, amounts owed by us to Comcast or to us by Comcast under the revolving credit agreements are presentedunder the captions “note payable to Comcast” and “note receivable from Comcast,” respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet and are presented ascurrent since the amounts include daily borrowings and repayments throughout the year based on our working capital needs. The revolving credit agreementsbear interest at floating rates equal to the interest rate calculation under Comcast’s revolving credit facility. The interest rate on Comcast’s revolving creditfacility consists of a base rate plus a borrowing margin that is determined based on Comcast’s credit rating. As of December 31, 2018, the borrowing marginfor London Interbank Offered Rate-based borrowings was 1.00%.Comcast is also the counterparty to one of our contractual obligations. As of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of the liability associatedwith this contractual obligation was $383 million.Senior Notes ExchangeIn October 2017, we and Comcast completed a debt exchange transaction. Comcast issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of new 3.97% senior notesdue 2047, $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of new 4.00% senior notes due 2049, and $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of new 4.05% seniornotes due 2052 in exchange for $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount of certain series of outstanding senior notes issued by Comcast and us, including$442 million of our 6.40% senior notes due 2040. The new notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and CCCL Parent. In connection with theexchange transaction, we issued $610 million of 4.00% notes due 2049 to Comcast. The debt exchange transaction was accounted for as a debtextinguishment, and therefore we recorded a charge of $157 million to interest expense upon retirement of the old notes.Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K151 Table of ContentsNBCUniversal Media, LLCThe following tables present transactions with Comcast and its consolidated subsidiaries that are included in our consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Statement of Income Year ended December 31 (in millions)201820172016Transactions with Comcast and Consolidated Subsidiaries Revenue$2,156$1,837$1,742Total costs and expenses$(245)$(214)$(220)Interest expense and investment and other income (loss), net$(54)$(250)$(69)Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31 (in millions)20182017Transactions with Comcast and Consolidated Subsidiaries Receivables, net$464$326Note receivable from Comcast$2,054—Accounts payable and accrued expenses related to trade creditors$78$54Accrued expenses and other current liabilities$32$50Note payable to Comcast$54$1,831Long-term debt$701$610Other noncurrent liabilities$410$389Distributions to NBCUniversal HoldingsIn addition to the transaction amounts presented in the table above, we make distributions to NBCUniversal Holdings on a periodic basis to enable its ownersto meet their obligations to pay taxes on taxable income generated by our businesses. We also make quarterly distributions to NBCUniversal Holdings toenable it to make its required quarterly payments to NBCUniversal Enterprise at an initial annual rate of 8.25% on the $9.4 billion aggregate liquidationpreference of its preferred units. On March 1, 2023, and thereafter on every fifth anniversary of such date, this rate will reset to 7.44% plus the yield onactively traded United States Treasury securities having a 5 year maturity. These distributions are presented under the caption “distributions to member” inour consolidated statement of cash flows.Share-Based CompensationComcast maintains share-based compensation plans that consist primarily of awards of restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options to certain employeesand directors as part of its approach to long-term incentive compensation. Additionally, through its employee stock purchase plans, employees are able topurchase shares of Comcast common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The cost associated with Comcast’s share-based compensation is basedon an award’s estimated fair value at the date of grant and is recognized over the period in which any related services are provided. RSUs are valued based onthe closing price of Comcast common stock on the date of grant and are discounted for the lack of dividends, if any, during the vesting period. Stock optionsare valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Certain of our employees participate in these plans and the expense associated with theirparticipation is settled in cash with Comcast. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $151 million, $133 million and$99 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, we had unrecognized pretax compensation expense of $270 million related to nonvested Comcast RSUsand unrecognized pretax compensation expense of $23 million related to nonvested Comcast stock options that will be recognized over a weighted-averageperiod of approximately 1.6 years and 1.0 years, respectively. 152Comcast 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K Table of ContentsReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmTo the Board of Directors and Stockholders ofComcast CorporationPhiladelphia, PennsylvaniaOpinion on the Consolidated Financial Statement ScheduleWe have audited the consolidated financial statements of Comcast Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and foreach of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, andhave issued our report thereon dated January 31, 2019; such consolidated financial statements and report are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Each Guarantor’s obligations in that respect (the “Guarantee”) are contained in the Trust Deed. TheGuarantors’ obligations are joint and several.(b) Status of Notes and GuaranteesThe Notes and the Coupons relating to them constitute (subject to Condition 4) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and shall at all times rank pari passuand without any preference among themselves. The payment obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Coupons relating to them and of therelevant Guarantors under the Guarantee shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by applicable legislation and subject to Condition 4, at alltimes rank at least equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and monetary obligations of the Issuer and the relevantGuarantors, respectively, present and future.(c) Guarantees by SubsidiariesSky shall procure that, as long as any Note comprising a Series issued by the Issuer remains outstanding:(1) to the extent that, after the first Tranche of the Notes comprising such Series is issued, any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor issues any guarantee ofany Indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of £50,000,000; and(2) for so long as any Subsidiary is or becomes a guarantor of Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Bonds, the 2008 Bonds, the 2012 Bondsor for moneys borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility,Sky will cause such Subsidiary to enter into a supplemental trust deed to the Trust Deed pursuant to which it shall agree irrevocably andunconditionally to guarantee on the terms mutatis mutandis of Clause 5 of the Trust Deed and on a pari passu basis with such Subsidiary’s obligationsas guarantor as are referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above the due and punctual payment of all sums expressed to be payable by the relevant Issuer underthe Trust Deed, the Notes and Coupons when and as the same shall become due and payable.In the event that any Guarantor (other than Sky Finance, Sky, Sky UK and Sky Subscribers) shall have been fully and unconditionally released from allobligations under guarantees of Indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of £50,000,000, such Guarantor shall be deemed released from allobligations under its Guarantee without any further action required on the part of the Trustee, any Noteholder or any Couponholder.Any such Guarantor not so released shall remain irrevocably and unconditionally liable for its obligations under its Guarantee.

The amount of interestpayable shall be determined in accordance with Condition 5(f).(b) Interest on Floating Rate Notes(i) Interest Payment DatesEach Floating Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding nominal amount from the Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as apercentage) equal to the Rate of Interest, such interest being payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date. The amount of interest payable shall bedetermined in accordance with Condition 5(f). Such Interest Payment Date(s) is/are either shown hereon as Specified Interest Payment Dates or, if noSpecified Interest Payment Date(s) is/are shown hereon, Interest Payment Date shall mean each date which falls the number of months or other periodshown hereon as the Interest Period after the preceding Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the InterestCommencement Date.(ii) Business Day ConventionIf any date referred to in these Conditions that is specified to be subject to adjustment in accordance with a Business Day Convention would otherwisefall on a day that is not a Business Day, then, if the Business Day Convention specified is (A) the Floating Rate Business Day Convention, such dateshall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event (x) such date shall bebrought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day and (y) each subsequent such date shall be the last Business Day of the month in whichsuch date would have fallen had it not been subject to adjustment, (B) the Following Business Day Convention, such date shall be postponed to thenext day that is a Business Day, (C) the Modified Following Business Day Convention, such date shall be postponed to the next day that is a BusinessDay unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event such date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding BusinessDay or (D) the Preceding Business Day Convention, such date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day.(iii) Rate of InterestThe Rate of Interest in respect of Floating Rate Notes for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined in the manner specified hereon and theprovisions below relating to either ISDA Determination or Screen Rate Determination shall apply, depending upon which is specified hereon.(A) ISDA DeterminationWhere ISDA Determination is specified hereon as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each InterestAccrual Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as a rate equal to the relevant ISDA Rate. For the purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), “ISDARate”29016-2-v8.0 70-40568552 for an Interest Accrual Period means a rate equal to the Floating Rate that would be determined by the Calculation Agent under a Swap Transactionunder the terms of an agreement incorporating the ISDA Definitions and under which:(x) the Floating Rate Option is as specified hereon;(y) the Designated Maturity is a period specified hereon; and(z) the relevant Reset Date is the first day of that Interest Accrual Period unless otherwise specified hereon.For the purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), “Floating Rate”, “Calculation Agent”, “Floating Rate Option”, “Designated Maturity”, “Reset Date” and“Swap Transaction” have the meanings given to those terms in the ISDA Definitions.(B) Screen Rate Determination(x) Where Screen Rate Determination is specified hereon as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for eachInterest Accrual Period will, subject as provided below, be either:(1) the offered quotation; or(2) the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations,(expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate which appears or appear, as the case may be, on the Relevant Screen Page as at either11.00 a.m. (London time in the case of LIBOR or Brussels time in the case of EURIBOR) on the Interest Determination Date in question as determinedby the Calculation Agent. If five or more of such offered quotations are available on the Relevant Screen Page, the highest (or, if there is more than onesuch highest quotation, one only of such quotations) and the lowest (or, if there is more than one such lowest quotation, one only of such quotations)shall be disregarded by the Calculation Agent for the purpose of determining the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations;(y) if the Relevant Screen Page is not available or if, sub-paragraph (x)(1) applies and no such offered quotation appears on the Relevant Screen Pageor if sub-paragraph (x)(2) above applies and fewer than two such offered quotations appear on the Relevant Screen Page in each case as at the timespecified above, subject as provided below, the Calculation Agent shall request, if the Reference Rate is LIBOR, the principal London office of each ofthe Reference Banks or, if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR, the principal Euro-zone office of each of the Reference Banks, to provide the CalculationAgent with its offered quotation (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate if the Reference Rate is LIBOR, at approximately11.00 a.m. (London time), or if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR, at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the Interest Determination Date inquestion. If two or more of the Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with such offered quotations, the Rate of Interest for such InterestAccrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations as determined by the Calculation Agent; and(z) if paragraph (y) above applies and the Calculation Agent determines that fewer than two Reference Banks are providing offered quotations, subjectas provided below, the Rate of Interest shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates per annum (expressed as a percentage) as communicated to (and at therequest of) the Calculation Agent by the Reference Banks or any two or more of them, at which such banks were offered, if the Reference Rate is LIBOR,at approximately 11.00 a.m. (London time) or, if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR, at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the relevant InterestDetermination Date, deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate by leading banksin, if the Reference Rate is LIBOR, the London inter-bank market or, if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR, the Euro-zone inter-bank market, as the casemay be, or, if fewer than29016-2-v8.0 70-40568552 two of the Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with such offered rates, the offered rate for deposits in the Specified Currency for a periodequal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, or the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Specified Currency for aperiod equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, at which, if the Reference Rate is LIBOR, at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Londontime) or, if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR, at approximately 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time), on the relevant Interest Determination Date, any one or morebanks (which bank or banks is or are in the opinion of the Issuer suitable for such purpose) informs the Calculation Agent it is quoting to leading banksin, if the Reference Rate is LIBOR, the London inter-bank market or, if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR, the Euro-zone inter-bank market, as the casemay be, provided that, if the Rate of Interest cannot be determined for an Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the foregoing provisions of thisparagraph, the Rate of Interest shall (until such time as an alternative method for determining the Rate of Interest shall be determined by the Issuer and afinancial adviser (as appointed by the Issuer) with such determination being notified in writing by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Noteholders) bedetermined as at the last preceding Interest Determination Date (though substituting, where a different Margin or Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interestis to be applied to the relevant Interest Accrual Period from that which applied to the last preceding Interest Accrual Period, the Margin or Maximum orMinimum Rate of Interest relating to the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in place of the Margin or Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest relating tothat last preceding Interest Accrual Period).(c) Zero Coupon NotesWhere a Note the Interest Basis of which is specified to be Zero Coupon is repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amountdue and payable prior to the Maturity Date shall be the Early Redemption Amount of such Note. As from the Maturity Date, the Rate of Interest for anyoverdue principal of such a Note shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield (as described in Condition 6(b)(i)).(d) Accrual of InterestInterest shall cease to accrue on each Note on the due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment is improperly withheld or refused, inwhich event interest shall continue to accrue (both before and after judgment) at the Rate of Interest in the manner provided in this Condition 5 to theRelevant Date (as defined in Condition 8).(e) Margin, Maximum/Minimum Rates of Interest and Redemption Amounts and Rounding(i) If any Margin is specified hereon (either (x) generally, or (y) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment shall be made to allRates of Interest, in the case of (x), or the Rates of Interest for the specified Interest Accrual Periods, in the case of (y), calculated in accordance withCondition 5(b) above by adding (if a positive number) or subtracting the absolute value (if a negative number) of such Margin, subject always to thenext paragraph.(ii) If any Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest or Redemption Amount is specified hereon, then any Rate of Interest or Redemption Amount shallbe subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be.(iii) For the purposes of any calculations required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified), (x) all percentages resulting from suchcalculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded up), (y) all figuresshall be rounded to seven significant figures (with halves being rounded up) and (z) all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded tothe nearest unit of such currency (with halves being rounded up), save in the case of yen, which shall be rounded down to the nearest yen. For thesepurposes “unit” means the lowest amount of such currency that is available as legal tender in the country or countries, as the case may be, of suchcurrency.29016-2-v8.0 70-40568552 (f) CalculationsThe amount of interest payable per Calculation Amount in respect of any Note for any Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to the product of the Rateof Interest, the Calculation Amount specified hereon, and the Day Count Fraction for such Interest Accrual Period, unless an Interest Amount (or aformula for its calculation) is applicable to such Interest Accrual Period, in which case the amount of interest payable per Calculation Amount in respectof such Note for such Interest Accrual Period shall equal such Interest Amount (or be calculated in accordance with such formula). Where any InterestPeriod comprises two or more Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable per Calculation Amount in respect of such Interest Period shall bethe sum of the Interest Amounts payable in respect of each of those Interest Accrual Periods. In respect of any other period for which interest is requiredto be calculated, the provisions above shall apply save that the Day Count Fraction shall be for the period for which interest is required to be calculated.(g) Determination and Publication of Rates of Interest, Interest Amounts, Final Redemption Amounts, Early Redemption Amounts and OptionalRedemption AmountsThe Calculation Agent shall, as soon as practicable on each Interest Determination Date, or such other time on such date as the Calculation Agent maybe required to calculate any rate or amount, obtain any quotation or make any determination or calculation, determine such rate and calculate theInterest Amounts for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, calculate the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount or Optional RedemptionAmount, obtain such quotation or make such determination or calculation, as the case may be, and cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amountsfor each Interest Accrual Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date and, if required to be calculated, the Final Redemption Amount, EarlyRedemption Amount or any Optional Redemption Amount to be notified to the Trustee, the Issuer, each of the Paying Agents, the Noteholders, anyother Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Notes that is to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information and, if the Notes arelisted on a stock exchange and the rules of such exchange or other relevant authority so require, such exchange or other relevant authority as soon aspossible after their determination but in no event later than (i) the commencement of the relevant Interest Period, if determined prior to such time, in thecase of notification to such exchange of a Rate of Interest and Interest Amount, or (ii) in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after suchdetermination. Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Period Date is subject to adjustment pursuant to Condition 5(b)(ii), the Interest Amounts andthe Interest Payment Date so published may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made with the consent of the Trustee byway of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Period. If the Notes become due and payable underCondition 10, the accrued interest and the Rate of Interest payable in respect of the Notes shall nevertheless continue to be calculated as previously inaccordance with this Condition but no publication of the Rate of Interest or the Interest Amount so calculated need be made unless the Trusteeotherwise requires. The determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining of each quotation and the making of each determination or calculation by theCalculation Agent(s) shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.(h) Calculation AgentThe Issuer shall procure that there shall at all times be one or more Calculation Agents if provision is made for them hereon and for so long as any Noteis outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed). Where more than one Calculation Agent is appointed in respect of the Notes, references in theseConditions to the Calculation Agent shall be construed as each Calculation Agent performing its respective duties under the Conditions. If theCalculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or if the Calculation Agent fails duly to establish the Rate of Interest for an Interest AccrualPeriod or to calculate any Interest Amount, Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount or Optional Redemption Amount, as the case may be,or to comply with any other requirement, the Issuer shall appoint a leading bank or financial institution29016-2-v8.0 70-40568552 engaged in the interbank market that is most closely connected with the calculation or determination to be made by the Calculation Agent (actingthrough its principal London office or any other office actively involved in such market) to act as such in its place. The Calculation Agent may notresign its duties without a successor having been appointed as aforesaid.(i) Determinations of Calculation Agent bindingAll notifications, opinions, determinations, certificates, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes ofthis Condition 5 by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error, wilful default or negligence) be final and binding upon all parties and(in the absence as aforesaid) no liability to the Noteholders, the Issuer or any other party shall attach to the Calculation Agent in connection with theexercise or non-exercise by it of any of its powers, duties and discretions hereunder.6 Redemption, Purchase and Options(a) Final RedemptionUnless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided in this Condition 6, each Note shall be finally redeemed on the Maturity Datespecified hereon at its Final Redemption Amount (which, unless otherwise provided hereon, is its nominal amount).(b) Early Redemption(i) Zero Coupon Notes(A) The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Note, upon redemption of such Note pursuant to Condition 6(c) or upon itbecoming due and payable as provided in Condition 10 shall be the “Amortised Face Amount” (calculated as provided below) of such Note unlessotherwise specified hereon.(B) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (C) below, the Amortised Face Amount of any such Note shall be the scheduled Final RedemptionAmount of such Note on the Maturity Date discounted at a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield (which, if none isshown hereon, shall be such rate as would produce an Amortised Face Amount equal to the issue price of the Notes if they were discounted back to theirissue price on the Issue Date) compounded annually.(C) If the Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Note upon its redemption pursuant to Condition 6(c) or upon it becoming due andpayable as provided in Condition 10 is not paid when due, the Early Redemption Amount due and payable in respect of such Note shall be theAmortised Face Amount of such Note as defined in sub-paragraph (B) above, except that such sub-paragraph shall have effect as though the date onwhich the Note becomes due and payable were the Relevant Date. The calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-paragraphshall continue to be made (both before and after judgment) until the Relevant Date, unless the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in whichcase the amount due and payable shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Note on the Maturity Date together with any interest thatmay accrue in accordance with Condition 5(c).Where such calculation is to be a made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on the basis of the Day Count Fraction shown hereon.(ii) Other NotesThe Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Note (other than Notes described in (i) above), upon redemption of such Note pursuant toCondition 6(c) or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition 10, shall be the Final Redemption Amount unless otherwise specifiedhereon.(c) Redemption for Taxation Reasons29016-2-v8.0 70-40568552 The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date (if this Note is a Floating Rate Note) or atany time (if this Note is not a Floating Rate Note), on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Noteholders (which notice shall beirrevocable) at their Early Redemption Amount (as described in Condition 6(b) above) (together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption),if (i) the Issuer (or, if the Guarantee were called, the relevant Guarantor(s)) satisfies or satisfy, as the case may be, the Trustee immediately before thegiving of such notice that it has or will or they have or will, as the case may be, become obliged to pay additional amounts as described under Condition8 as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or any authority thereof ortherein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomeseffective on or after the date on which the first Tranche of the Notes is issued, and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer (or the relevantGuarantor(s), as the case may be) taking reasonable measures available to it or them, as the case may be, provided, however, that no such notice ofredemption shall be given earlier than:(i) where the Notes may be redeemed at any time, 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor would be obliged topay such additional amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due or (as the case may be) a demand under the Guarantee of the Notes werethen made; or(ii) where the Notes may be redeemed only on an Interest Payment Date, 60 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring immediately before theearliest date on which the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor would be obliged to pay such additional amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes werethen due or (as the case may be) a demand under the Guarantee of the Notes were then made.Before the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by two directorsof the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor(s), as the case may be) stating that the obligation referred to in (i) above cannot be avoided by the Issuer (or therelevant Guarantor(s), as the case may be) taking reasonable measures available to it or them, as the case may be, and the Trustee shall be entitled toaccept such certificate as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the condition precedent set out in (ii) above in which event it shall be conclusive andbinding on Noteholders and Couponholders.(d) Redemption at the Option of the IssuerIf Call Option is specified hereon, the Issuer may, on giving not less than 15 nor more than 30 days’ irrevocable notice to the Noteholders (or such othernotice period as may be specified hereon) redeem all or, if so provided, some of the Notes on any Optional Redemption Date.
