• Residential Broadband: With gig speeds available to 65 million homes and businesses, we operate the largest converged network in America. Our fiber-rich network is resilient and intelligent, built to stay ahead of bandwidth demand which continues to rise at double-digit rates. We’re upgrading to multi-gig symmetrical speeds and deploying AI-enabled gateways that can connect hundreds of devices in the home to our WiFi network — the largest in the nation and most reliable in our footprint. Just as importantly, we’re executing our most significant go-to-market pivot ever to simplify and improve the customer experience, from pricing and packaging to installation and service. • Wireless: We’re accelerating mobile growth, which led to record line additions of approximately 1.5 million in 2025. With only about 15% penetration of our residential broadband base, we have substantial runway ahead. Our model is differentiated by our category-leading WiFi. Nearly 90% of Xfinity Mobile smartphone data travels over WiFi, which enables us to provide converged benefits like boosting our customers’ wireless speeds to a gig whenever they connect to our network inside and outside the home. • Comcast Business has $10 billion in revenue and consistently strong margins. We serve more small businesses than any provider in the country and are the fastest growing in enterprise. With our advanced technology and the strategic acquisition of Nitel in 2025, we have increased our market opportunity and ability to offer network, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions to businesses of all sizes. • Studios are a powerful creative engine fueling our other growth drivers. Our upcoming slate — from Chris Meledandri’s latest installments of the Minions and Super Mario franchises to Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg’s new films — and our recently announced partnership with Taylor Sheridan, reflect our leadership with globally recognized talent and IP. We will continue to leverage our film and television content to propel streaming, enhance theme parks, and increasingly support Xfinity broadband and wireless. • Streaming: With the completion of the Versant spin, we enter 2026 as a more focused media business, operating broadcast and streaming together to maximize reach and value across NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, and Bravo. Peacock continues to scale, led by breakout entertainment like All Her Fault, The Traitors, and Love Island, alongside an enviable live sports portfolio, including the NFL, NBA, MLB, Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and Premier League. We will host approximately 40% of the industry’s biggest live events this year, reaching hundreds of millions of viewers with our iconic entertainment, sports, and news content, as we celebrate NBC’s 100th anniversary. • Theme Parks had an extraordinary year with the opening of Epic Universe — the largest and most technologically advanced theme park built in the United States in decades. We also announced our next major park destination in the United Kingdom, where we already have a significant presence through Sky. From the new Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas to our upcoming Universal Kids Resort in Texas, our parks business benefits from the enduring power of our intellectual property and our ability to bring immersive storytelling to life in unforgettable ways.
