Part I
Item 1: Business
We are a global media and technology company with two primary businesses, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. We were
incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania in December 2001. Through our predecessors, we have developed, managed and
operated cable systems since 1963, and in 2011, we acquired control of the businesses of NBCUniversal. We present our operations
in the following five reportable business segments:
In 2012, our Cable Communications segment generated 63% of our consolidated revenue and more than 80% of our operating
income before depreciation and amortization. The Cable Networks, Broadcast Television, Filmed Entertainment and Theme Parks
segments comprise the NBCUniversal businesses and are collectively referred to as the “NBCUniversal segments.”
Our other business interests primarily include Comcast-
Spectacor, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center
arena in Philadelphia and operates arena management-related businesses.
For financial and other information about our reportable segments, refer to Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included
