Fiscal 2015 PSU net additions stood at 74,998, of which 57,746 additions came from the acquisition of MetroCast Connecticut. PSU growth is
mainly explained as follows:
VIDEO
Fiscal 2015 video service customers net additions stood at 23,374, of which 27,256 net additions came from the acquisition of MetroCast
Connecticut. The net variance is due to the growth of TiVo's digital advanced video services launched during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, partly
offset by competitive offers in the industry.
INTERNET
Fiscal 2015 Internet service customers net additions stood at 40,046, of which 22,673 net additions came from the acquisition of MetroCast
Connecticut. The net variance is mainly due to the launch of TiVo's services, additional marketing initiatives which focused on bundle package
offerings, thus increasing overall demand for the Internet residential services as well as increased commercial Internet customers.
TELEPHONY
Fiscal 2015 telephony service customers net additions stood at 11,578, of which 7,817 net additions came from the acquisition of MetroCast
Connecticut. The net variance results mainly from the impact of bundle offers.
