Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both

business and financial. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable,

we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties

and assumptions including, without limitation, the factors described under "Risk Factors" under Part II, Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC and the

factors described under “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Many of the forward-looking statements contained herein

may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "will," "may," "intend," "estimated," "aim," "on track,"

"target," "opportunity," "tentative," "positioning," "designed," "create" and "potential," among others. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from the forward-looking statements we make in this presentation are set forth in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but

are not limited to:

our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flow from operations by offering video, Internet, voice, advertising and other services to residential and

commercial customers, to adequately meet the customer experience demands in our markets and to maintain and grow our customer base, particularly in the face

of increasingly aggressive competition, the need for innovation and the related capital expenditures and the difficult economic conditions in the United States;

the impact of competition from other market participants, including but not limited to incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless

broadband and telephone providers, digital subscriber line (“DSL”) providers, and video provided over the Internet;

general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn, high unemployment levels and the level of activity in the housing sector;

our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to raise prices to offset, in whole or in part, the effects of higher programming costs (including

retransmission consents);

the development and deployment of new products and technologies, including in connection with our plan to make our systems all-digital in 2014;

the effects of governmental regulation on our business or potential business combination transaction;

the availability and access, in general, of funds to meet our debt obligations prior to or when they become due and to fund our operations and necessary capital

expenditures, either through (i) cash on hand, (ii) free cash flow, or (iii) access to the capital or credit markets;

our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our

other obligations under cross-default provisions; and

the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between Charter and Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and/or Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC") including the

possibility that Charter will not pursue any transaction; and if a transaction were to occur, the ultimate outcome and results of integrating the operations, the

ultimate outcome of Charter’s pricing and packaging and operating strategy applied to the acquired systems and the ultimate ability to realize synergies.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We are under

no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date hereof.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to evaluate various aspects of its

business. Adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial

measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities reported in

accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted

EBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss) and free cash flow is reconciled to net cash flows from operating activities in the appendix of this presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense,

(gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net and other operating expenses, such as special charges and (gain) loss

on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-

intensive nature of the Company's businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or

investment activities. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets

used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment and changes in accrued expenses

related to capital expenditures.

Management and the Company’s Board use adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund

operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio

calculation under the Company's credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the credit facilities and

notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission). For the purpose of calculating

compliance with leverage covenants, we use adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by our operating subsidiaries to other

Charter entities. Our debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees which fees were in the amount of $54 million and $49 million for the

three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $201 million and $191 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012,

respectively.

For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see slides 17, 18 and 19 in the appendix.

amortization, stock compensation expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, gain on derivative instruments, net, and

other operating expenses, such as special charges and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it

structure or investment activities.

2 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation

expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on derivative instruments, net, and other operating expenses, such as special charges and

(gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that

results from the capital-intensive nature of our businesses as well as other non-cash or non-recurring items, and is unaffected by our

capital structure or investment activities.

The above schedules are presented in order to reconcile adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to the most directly comparable GAAP

measure in accordance with Section 401(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
