Prior quarter guidance was maintained; this quarter management lowered the EBITDA target for the year, citing Cox integration transition costs that exceeded initial expectations. The capex outlook shifted from increasing to stable, with the long-term reduction plan to below $8B by 2028 reaffirmed. The leverage target was lowered to a flat 3.5x, supported by debt repurchases and the $20B capped exchange offer. Pricing pass-throughs and rate increases are planned for the back half of the year.

What to watch on the call

Carried forward from the last transcript

Risks management flagged

  • Intensifying competition from fixed wireless, fiber overbuild, and satellite providers including Starlink and Amazon
  • Higher-than-expected Cox integration and transition costs could persist and further pressure EBITDA
  • Internet customer losses and churn remain ongoing challenges despite bundling strategies
  • Potential slowdown in broadband ARPU improvements could delay revenue stabilization
  • Regulatory scrutiny including the California approval process for the Cox transaction

Questions analysts left open

  • Updated broadband ARPU outlook and the timing of meaningful improvements
  • Wireless traffic offload percentages and the future CBRS rollout timeline
  • The specific reason for lowering the EBITDA target for the year and whether integration costs will persist
  • Impact of Cox integration on both revenue and expense trends in coming quarters
  • Potential partnership or competitive threat from Starlink in the satellite broadband space
