Revenue Trends
Revenue exhibited fluctuations over the periods analyzed, starting at approximately $26.6 billion in Q1 2020, dipping to about $23.7 billion in Q2 2020, then gradually increasing to reach a peak near $31.3 billion in Q4 2023. The data shows multiple rises and falls, with no consistent upward or downward trend, ending around $29.9 billion in Q1 2025.
Cost of Programming and Production
This expense varied significantly, showing large negative values indicative of high costs. Initial costs started around $8.3 billion in Q1 2020, fluctuated through the periods, and peaked with substantial increases close to $10.2 billion in various quarters, such as Q4 2023. There appears to be no steady improving or worsening trend but rather volatility in programming and production costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit remained relatively stable between $16.9 billion to $22 billion across the quarters, generally increasing until Q4 2024 before a slight decrease in Q1 2025. The stability suggests that despite volatility in revenue and programming costs, gross profit margins held steady.
Marketing and Promotion Expenses
Marketing and promotion costs fluctuated between approximately $1.3 billion and $2.1 billion. There is no clear trend of increase or decrease, but the data reflects relatively consistent quarterly expenses with minor variations.
Other Operating and Administrative Expenses
These expenses generally increased over time, starting at about $8.3 billion in Q1 2020 and rising to over $10.9 billion in several quarters such as Q4 2023 and Q4 2024. This indicates growing administrative costs that may impact operating margins.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation costs remained fairly stable, fluctuating narrowly around $2.1 billion, with no significant trend. Amortization showed a mild upward trend from roughly $1.1 billion to peaks near $1.7 billion, contributing somewhat more to expenses in later periods.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairments
A notable impairment of approximately $8.6 billion occurs in Q3 2022. This substantial non-recurring charge impacts profitability for that quarter dramatically.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income mostly remained positive, fluctuating between approximately $3.9 billion and $6.7 billion. The exception is a sharp loss in Q3 2022 of about $2.4 billion, corresponding with the large impairment noted. Generally, operating income reflects resilience with occasional volatility.
Interest Expense
Interest expense remained steady, between about $0.96 billion to $1.22 billion, showing no clear upward or downward trend, reflecting consistent debt servicing costs.
Investment and Other Income (Loss), Net
Investment income showed considerable volatility, with both positive and negative amounts, peaking positively above $1.2 billion in some quarters and negatively reaching around $0.9 billion in others. This irregular pattern suggests variable returns from investments or other income sources.
Income Before Income Taxes
This measure echoed operating income patterns with values ranging from about $2.8 billion to $5.6 billion, except for a large negative value of nearly $3.7 billion in Q3 2022, indicating the impact of unusual items this quarter.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense fluctuated widely but remained generally negative with a range of approximately $0.7 billion to over $2 billion in several quarters. An exception occurred in Q1 2025 with a positive tax figure, possibly indicating a tax benefit or adjustment.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income showed variability, generally positive, moving between around $2 billion to near $4.7 billion, with a stark loss of approximately $4.7 billion in Q3 2022. The data suggest overall profitability with the notable exception of Q3 2022, which was adversely affected by impairments and other factors.
Net Income Attributable to Comcast Corporation
This figure follows the net income trend closely, confirming the significant loss in Q3 2022 and generally stable profitability across other periods, ranging roughly from $2 billion to $4.8 billion.
