TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION—(Continued)
performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are included throughout this report and
are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are
susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances.
The Company operates in a highly competitive, consumer and technology driven and rapidly changing business that is
affected by government regulation and economic, strategic, political and social conditions. Various factors could adversely
affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in the future and cause TWC’s actual results to differ materially
from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, “Risk
Factors,” in Part I of this report, as well as:
• increased competition from video, high-speed data, networking and voice providers, particularly direct broadcast
satellite operators, incumbent local telephone companies, ILECs, CLECs, companies that deliver programming
over broadband Internet connections, and wireless broadband and phone providers;
• the Company’s ability to deal effectively with the current challenging economic environment or further
deterioration in the economy, which may negatively impact customers’ demand for the Company’s services and
also result in a reduction in the Company’s advertising revenues;
• the Company’s continued ability to exploit new and existing technologies that appeal to residential and business
services customers and advertisers;
• changes in the regulatory and tax environments in which the Company operates, including, among others,
regulation of broadband Internet services, “net neutrality” legislation or regulation and federal, state and local
taxation;
• increased difficulty negotiating programming and retransmission agreements on favorable terms, resulting in
increased costs to the Company and/or the loss of popular programming; and
• changes in the Company’s plans, initiatives and strategies.
Any forward-looking statements made by the Company in this document speak only as of the date on which they are
made. The Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward looking
statements whether as a result of changes in circumstances, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
