Comcast Announces Reporting Changes and Pro Forma Financial Adjustments

Comcast Corporation will implement changes to its segment reporting structure and customer metrics starting in the first quarter of 2026. This includes the separation of Versant Media Group, Inc., which will now operate as an independent entity. The company has updated its financial reporting to present pro forma information that enhances comparability across periods, reflecting adjustments due to the separation and changes in segment composition. Notably, the Media segment will exclude Versant's historical results and will reclassify certain results among segments to better align with operational reporting.

In addition to segment reporting adjustments, Comcast will present updated customer metrics and financial data, including domestic wireless service revenue and broadband services revenue. The company has also recast historical information to reflect these changes. The updates aim to provide investors with clearer insights into the company's ongoing operations and financial health, particularly following the establishment of Versant as a standalone company. Financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow will continue to be reported, with relevant reconciliations provided in accompanying exhibits.
