Operating Expense Breakdown
Details core costs like R&D, marketing, and admin, offering insight into how efficiently the company runs and where it’s prioritizing investment.Programming expense has trended down materially since 2021, consistent with a shrinking video footprint, but a major accounting shift in 1Q23 moved Mobile and other lines into a bulky “Other Costs of Revenue” bucket that now carries much of the incremental cost to support mobile growth and transition activity; the steep drop in that bucket in June‑2026 reads like a timing/reclassification swing rather than durable savings. Marketing and service costs are steady, so management’s CapEx cuts and promised Cox synergies must produce real operating reductions (not just line‑item moves) to restore EBITDA and FCF momentum.
