Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold
The revenue remains constant across all periods as the base reference at 100%. Programming and production expenses generally fluctuate between approximately 25% and 35% of revenue, showing a mild declining trend in later periods, reaching near 25% in some quarters. Gross profit margins correspondingly move inversely to programming costs, mostly hovering between 65% and 75%, with higher margins seen in the later quarters, indicating improved profitability from core operations.
Operating Expenses
Marketing and promotion expenses account for approximately 6% to 7.5% of revenue throughout the periods. Despite some variation, these expenses show a relatively stable trend without significant fluctuations. Other operating and administrative costs represent a large portion of expenses, around 30% to 35% of revenue, with some increase towards the end of the examined timeline. Depreciation remains steady near 7% to 8%, suggesting consistent capital asset usage or investment. Amortization shows a slight increasing trend over time, moving from roughly 4.3% towards values exceeding 5%, reflecting growing intangible asset amortization.
Extraordinary Expenses
There is a single notable impairment charge recorded in one of the periods at -28.75% of revenue, significantly impacting that quarter's profitability and causing a sharp dip in operating income.
Profitability Metrics
Operating income generally fluctuates between 14% and 22% of revenue, with volatility especially pronounced during the quarter affected by the goodwill and asset impairment. Apart from that quarter, operating income shows a healthy and stable level consistent with gross margin performance. Interest expense steadily occupies about 3% to 4.5% of revenue, with a slight downward trend over the long term, indicative of some improvement or refinancing in debt costs.
Investment Income and Income Taxes
Investment and other income or losses display variability, including positive and negative swings without a clear directional trend, except for a remarkable spike reaching 32.2% in a single late period. Income tax expense mostly ranges between 2.5% and 7%, with some fluctuations that do not show a sustained pattern but occasionally reflect lower tax rates or tax benefits in specific quarters.
Net Income and Attribution
Net income as a percentage of revenue generally ranges from around 8% to 14%, with one significant negative outlier corresponding with the impairment period. Net income attributable to Comcast Corporation follows a similar pattern but tends to be marginally lower than total net income due to noncontrolling interest contributions, which remain minimal throughout the periods.
Summary of Trends
Overall, the company demonstrates stable gross margins and controlled marketing and administrative expenses relative to revenue. Periodic asset impairments and volatile investment income introduce variability in profitability. Despite these fluctuations, operating performance remains solid, with net income consistently positive except during isolated setbacks. Interest expenses are relatively stable and manageable. Increasing amortization suggests expanding intangible assets, while depreciations are steady. The financial profile reflects operational resilience with episodic challenges impacting quarterly results.
