| So, I think the overall health of the average consumer very strong |
| We have six, right? And that's an incredibly powerful place to be, and we're going to continue investing to drive all six, whether we get every one of them right, I don't know, but we get most of them right, and that's going to be a very good outcome for this company |
| So, the totality of that is a really strong formula |
| They still allow for strong free cash flow, growing free cash flow where we can buy back shares and return a lot of capital to shareholders |
| Stock had a solid year |
| So, I think we are -- it's a tough comparison relative to 2023, given all the success we had, but we have an incredible slate coming to 2024 that we're happy about |
| Jason Armstrong It's -- obviously, we did -- we're incredibly happy with how we did in the box office last year |
| 2023, a really good year for Comcast |
| So, to answer your question, we've seen a ton of demand on the Olympics side, I think we're very happy with where it's shaping up |
| So good healthy growth |
| And a lot of benefits in that from sports performance in the fourth quarter, whether it was Sunday Night Football performing really well |
| And then we've got a -- as you think about the success of the slate, and the ability for that to continue to be a driver as it makes its way into different windows and ends up on Peacock, that's been an incredible driver for us as well |
| So, I think a really strong year as it relates to sort of the how do we look at the forward progress and the forward outlook |
| So that's been incredibly favorable |
| And we were late to the area that's why we sort of trough later, but now we've just seen incredible momentum in a 3.5-year time frame |
| The streaming world for us is all those things plus Pay-One movies where we've been extremely successful in the last year and the studios, all that's making its way in |
| That's usually a very positive event because you're stalling a little bit ahead of a lot of pent-up demand and then you release the pent-up demand |
| By the way, 4% ARPU growth is $1.2 billion in incremental revenue, high-margin revenue across the company |
| Underlying momentum is great |
| And we've got distinct and sort of logical advantages in selling into our base |
| So, the underlying momentum was very strong in the last couple of years |
| So really strong cash flow and prospects coming out of a It's a business where we have an addressable market, sort of started with small business |
| Those have been incredibly successful for us |
| And we're 10 against that with a really good product that competes really, really well |
| We're very bullish on parks, as you can tell, probably not a surprise to you |
| So, the businesses that are growing broadband business services, wireless on the connectivity side, in particular, first to very strong and accretive margins relative to the overall base |
| You can see it through our lens that there's other wireless companies that would say that is a very good business |
| So, broadband did incredibly well |
| So, I can see it through their lens that it's very good business |
| We feel really good about the parks business |

| World Cup was a comparison challenge for us |
| So, despite kind of those three things, which were headwinds on free cash flow and earnings |
| And so, with ACP, I think like anything, hope for the best in a continuation, but I think you have to plan for the worst, which is going away and there's disruption |
| We have really lacked, and we've talked about this, whether it's move activity or other factors, we've lacked jump balls in the industry for the past several years |
| But obviously, you're going to see some challenges to this |
| Streaming has proven to be challenging economically, at least |
| It similar to parks, there was a disruptive moment on the pandemic when you've got theaters closed and real uncertainty in the creative community around sort of what the future looks like |
| So, if we look back to 2017 -- the last six-plus years, we are down in truck rolls by 50% |
| That's down 40% in the same time frame again against a bigger base of customer relationships |
| That was a really difficult comparison for a few years period |
| As I mentioned, we're only 3.5 years in on Peacock, were 31 million subscribers, $10 ARPU, high engagement, churn coming down |
| But there were also strikes six months of delays |
| I think when I look at your business, it seems to us that '23 might be the -- or is the trough year for segment EBITDA in the media -- for the media segment, particularly as Peacock starts to scale |
| In particular, when you think about wireless, when the conversation around fixed wireless changes, and it's not some cost and excess capacity |
| We had three straight Olympics that were time zone challenges and pandemic, two out of the three pandemic challenge |
| That seems tough |
| That's a little bit more of a headwind than it has been in the past |
| That's not a good place to be |
| As I mentioned, it's a competitive environment |
| And I'd point out that was despite a super competitive environment broadband, probably the most competitive environment long time, despite taking on peak streaming losses in Peacock |
