Consolidated Financial Results
Revenue increased 51.1% in the third quarter of 2011 to $14.3 billion, while Operating Cash Flow increased 27.8% to $4.6 billion and Operating Income increased 35.1% to $2.6 billion, primarily reflecting strong Cable Communications results, the acquisition of NBCUniversal in January and the consolidation of the Universal Orlando theme parks.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue increased 44.6% to $40.8 billion, while operating cash flow increased 23.5% to $13.4 billion and operating income increased 30.8% to $7.8 billion.
Earnings per Share1 (EPS) for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.33, a 6.5% increase from the $0.31 reported in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding NBCUniversal transaction and related costs, EPS increased 3.1% (see Table 4). Third quarter EPS was negatively impacted by higher interest expense and taxes, as well as a $256 million year-over-year decline in investment income. This decline reflects a $147 million ($0.03 per share after tax) investment loss in third quarter 2011, compared to a $109 million ($0.02 per share after tax) investment gain in third quarter 2010, driven primarily by noncash mark-to-market adjustments on our investment portfolio.
EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.03, a 10.8% increase from the $0.93 reported in the prior year. Excluding NBCUniversal transaction and related costs and a $137 million noncash, non-recurring income tax charge resulting from a state tax law change during the second quarter of 2011, EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 14.6% to $1.10 compared to $0.96 in 2010 (see Table 4).
Free Cash Flow (excluding any impact from the Economic Stimulus packages) increased 35.8% to $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $1.0 billion in last year’s third quarter. The increase in free cash flow primarily reflects growth in consolidated operating cash flow, partially offset by an increase in working capital. Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 20.3% to $5.1 billion compared to $4.3 billion in 2010.

Pro Forma Financial Results
Pro forma results are presented as if the NBCUniversal transaction, which closed on January 28, 2011, and the Universal Orlando transaction, which closed on July 1, 2011, were effective on January 1, 2010.

Revenue. For the third quarter of 2011, Cable revenue increased 5.0% to $9.3 billion compared to $8.9 billion in the third quarter of 2010.

Advertising revenue decreased 4.0%, reflecting lower political advertising in the third quarter of 2011. Monthly average total revenue per video customer increased 8.0% to $138.58, reflecting a growing number of residential customers taking multiple products, rate adjustments and a higher contribution from business services.

Cable Networks
For the third quarter of 2011, revenue from the Cable Networks segment increased 12.0% to $2.1 billion compared to $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2010, driven by a 10.2% increase in distribution revenue, a 9.5% increase in advertising revenue and a 37.2% increase in other revenue primarily due to increases in the licensing of owned content from the cable production studio. Operating cash flow decreased 2.0% to $751 million compared to $767 million in the third quarter of 2010, reflecting increased investment in original programming and acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $80 million. Excluding these accounting revisions, Cable Networks operating cash flow increased 8.5% to $831 million (see Table 6).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue from the Cable Networks segment increased 12.6% to $6.3 billion compared to $5.6 billion in 2010. Operating cash flow increased 2.0% to $2.4 billion. Excluding acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $130 million, operating cash flow increased 7.6% to $2.5 billion (see Table 6).
Broadcast Television
For the third quarter of 2011, revenue from the Broadcast Television segment increased 2.9% to $1.5 billion, reflecting higher content licensing revenue, partially offset by ratings pressure at the NBC broadcast network and lower political advertising at NBC owned local stations. In the third quarter, the Broadcast Television segment generated an operating cash flow loss of $7 million compared to operating cash flow of $70 million in the third quarter of 2010, reflecting increased investment in primetime, news programming, and local stations, as well as acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $24 million. Excluding these accounting revisions, third quarter 2011 Broadcast Television operating cash flow was $17 million compared to $70 million in last year’s third quarter (see Table 6).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue from the Broadcast Television segment decreased 8.4% to $4.6 billion compared to $5.0 billion in 2010 due to $782 million of revenue generated by the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Excluding the impact of the Olympics, revenue increased 8.7%. Operating cash flow was $203 million compared to $63 million in the first nine months of 2010. Excluding the $223 million loss from the Olympics in 2010 and acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $80 million, operating cash flow decreased 1.1% to $283 million (see Table 6).
Filmed Entertainment
For the third quarter of 2011, revenue from the Filmed Entertainment segment decreased 7.8% to $1.1 billion compared to $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2010, driven by lower theatrical revenue compared to the prior year, partially offset by higher home entertainment revenue from Bridesmaids and the international release of Fast Five. Third quarter operating cash flow decreased 16.9% to $54 million compared to $66 million in the third quarter of 2010, reflecting lower revenue partially offset by favorable acquisition-related accounting adjustments totaling $36 million. Excluding these accounting revisions, third quarter 2011 operating cash flow was $18 million compared to $66 million in last year’s third quarter (see Table 6).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue from the Filmed Entertainment segment increased 1.2% to $3.3 billion and generated an operating cash flow loss of $65 million compared to operating cash flow of $58 million in the first nine months of 2010. Excluding favorable acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $16 million, the Filmed Entertainment segment generated an operating cash flow loss of $81 million compared to operating cash flow of $58 million (see Table 6).
Theme Parks
On July 1, 2011, NBCUniversal completed the acquisition of the 50% interest in Universal Orlando that it did not previously own. As a result, Theme Parks segment revenue includes the results of Universal Hollywood, Universal Orlando and international licensing fees. Operating cash flow includes the results of Universal Hollywood and Universal Orlando.
For the third quarter of 2011, revenue from the Theme Parks segment increased 9.1% to $580 million compared to $531 million in the third quarter of 2010, reflecting strong performances at the Hollywood and Orlando parks. Third quarter operating cash flow increased 12.6% to $285 million compared to $252 million in the same period last year, driven by the strength of The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM attraction in Orlando and the King KongTM attraction in Hollywood.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue from the Theme Parks segment increased 32.9% to $1.5 billion compared to $1.1 billion in 2010. Operating cash flow increased 61.2% to $644 million compared to $399 million in the first nine months of 2010.
Headquarters, Other and Eliminations
NBCUniversal Headquarters, Other and Eliminations include overhead and eliminations between the NBCUniversal businesses. Also included in these expenses are non-recurring transaction-related costs during the third quarter of 2011 that totaled $14 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, non-recurring transaction-related costs totaled $112 million.
Corporate, Other and Eliminations
Pro forma Corporate, Other and Eliminations includes corporate operations, Comcast-Spectacor and eliminations between Comcast's businesses. For the third quarter of 2011, Corporate, Other and Eliminations revenue was ($192) million compared to ($189) million in 2010, reflecting higher intersegment eliminations. The operating cash flow loss was $91 million compared to a loss of $94 million for the same time period in 2010, reflecting reduced corporate expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Corporate, Other and Eliminations revenue was ($523) million compared to ($543) million in 2010. The operating cash flow loss was $256 million compared to a loss of $275 million in the first nine months of 2010.
