Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 25, 2007, Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) issued a press release reporting the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Comcast does not intend for this Item 2.02 or Exhibit 99.1 to be treated as “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or incorporated by reference into its filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In the press release, Comcast presented non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures differ from financial measures reported in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Comcast provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial GAAP measures in the tables accompanying the press release. In addition, in Table 7, entitled Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures, Comcast disclosed why management believes the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures it customarily presents provided useful information to investors in understanding Comcast’s financial condition and results of operations as well as any additional purposes for which Comcast’s management uses these as performance measures.

In the press release, Comcast provided one additional non-GAAP financial measure to those described in Table 7, along with a reconciliation of this measure in Table 7-B:

 

  •

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 – For 2007, Adjusted Net Income excludes a significant nonoperating gain included in Other Income (Expense) (as presented in our Consolidated Statement of Operations) related to the dissolution of our Texas and Kansas City Cable Partnership. For 2006, Adjusted Net Income excludes the effect of the gain on discontinued operations, net of tax and the gain on the Adelphia/Time Warner transactions, net of tax.

Comcast believes this additional non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors. Among other things, it may help investors evaluate Comcast’s ongoing operations, can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons and can help identify trends that could otherwise be masked or distorted by the excluded items.
