(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liberty Broadband Corporation ("Liberty Broadband," the "Company," “us,” “we,” or “our” unless the context otherwise requires). Liberty Broadband is primarily comprised of an equity method investment in Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”).

On December 18, 2020, the original GCI Liberty, Inc. (“prior GCI Liberty”), the previous parent company of GCI, was acquired by Liberty Broadband.

In July 2025, Liberty Broadband and its subsidiaries completed an internal reorganization preceding the GCI Divestiture (as defined below) to transfer the GCI Business (as defined below) to GCI Liberty, Inc. (“GCI Liberty”). Following the internal reorganization, GCI Liberty owns, directly or indirectly, GCI, LLC and the operations comprising, and the entities that conduct, the GCI Business (collectively, “GCI”). GCI Liberty was a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Broadband until the GCI Divestiture, which was completed on July 14, 2025. GCI Liberty is presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See note 2 for details of the GCI Divestiture.

Recent Events

On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) under which Charter has agreed to acquire Liberty Broadband (the “Combination”, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each holder of Liberty Broadband Series A common stock (“LBRDA”), Series B common stock (“LBRDB”), and Series C common stock (“LBRDK”) (collectively, “Liberty Broadband common stock”) will receive 0.236 of a share of Charter Class A common stock per share of Liberty Broadband common stock held, with cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares. Each holder of Liberty Broadband Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock (“Liberty Broadband preferred stock”) will receive one share of newly issued Charter Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock (“Charter preferred stock”) per share of Liberty Broadband preferred stock held. The Charter preferred stock will substantially mirror the current terms of the Liberty Broadband preferred stock, including a mandatory redemption date of March 8, 2039. At the special meeting held on February 26, 2025, the requisite holders of LBRDA, LBRDB and Liberty Broadband preferred stock approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Liberty Broadband will combine with Charter and divested the business of GCI (the “GCI Business”).

As discussed above, as a condition to closing the Combination, Liberty Broadband agreed to divest the GCI Business by way of a distribution to the holders of Liberty Broadband common stock (the “GCI Divestiture”), which was completed on July 14, 2025. The GCI Divestiture was taxable to Liberty Broadband and its stockholders, with Charter bearing the corporate level tax liability upon completion of the Combination. If such corporate level tax liability exceeded $420 million, Liberty Broadband (and Charter upon completion of the Combination) would be entitled under a tax receivables agreement to the portion of the tax benefits realized by GCI Liberty corresponding to such excess; however, the corporate level tax liability from the GCI Divestiture is estimated to be significantly less than $420 million.

In addition, in connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Charter, Liberty Broadband and Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“A/N”) entered into an amendment (the “Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment”) to (i) that certain Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2015 (as amended, the “Stockholders Agreement”), by and among Charter, Liberty Broadband, and A/N, and (ii) that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2021 (the “Letter Agreement”), by and between Charter and Liberty Broadband. Pursuant to the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment, each month during the pendency of the proposed Transactions under the Merger Agreement, Charter is intended to repurchase shares of Charter Class A common stock from Liberty Broadband in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $100 million and (ii) an amount such that immediately after giving effect thereto, Liberty Broadband would have sufficient cash to satisfy certain obligations as set forth in the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment and Merger Agreement, provided that if any repurchase would reduce Liberty Broadband’s equity interest in Charter below 25.25% after giving effect to such repurchase or if all or a portion of such repurchase is not permissible, then Charter shall instead loan to Liberty Broadband an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the repurchase amount that cannot be repurchased and (y) an agreed minimum liquidity threshold as set forth in the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment less the repurchase amount that is repurchased, with such loan to occur on the terms set forth in the Stockholders and Letter Agreement Amendment, in each case, subject to certain conditions. Liberty Broadband will remain subject to the existing voting cap of 25.01% as described in note 6. Proceeds from share repurchases applied to debt service are expected to be tax free.

On May 16, 2025, Charter and Cox Enterprises, Inc. (“Cox”) announced that they entered into a definitive agreement to combine their businesses (the “Cox Transactions”). In connection with this transaction, Liberty Broadband has agreed to accelerate the closing of the Combination to occur contemporaneously with the Cox Transactions. There are no changes to any other transaction terms of the pending Liberty Broadband and Charter transaction.

In connection with the GCI Divestiture, Martin E. Patterson was appointed to the role of President and Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Broadband, effective July 14, 2025. Upon effectiveness of Mr. Patterson’s appointment, John C. Malone resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer but remains Chairman of the Board.

Historical Spin-Off Arrangements

During May 2014, the board of directors of Liberty Media Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Liberty”) authorized management to pursue a plan to spin-off to its stockholders common stock of a wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Broadband, and to distribute subscription rights to acquire shares of Liberty Broadband’s common stock (the “Broadband Spin-Off”). In connection with the Broadband Spin-Off, Liberty and Liberty Broadband entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies and to provide for an orderly transition, including a tax sharing agreement, services agreement and a facilities sharing agreement. Additionally, in connection with a prior transaction, prior GCI Liberty and QVC Group, Inc., formerly Qurate Retail, Inc. (“QVC Group”) entered into a tax sharing agreement, which was assumed by Liberty Broadband as a result of the combination of prior GCI Liberty and Liberty Broadband. The tax sharing agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between QVC Group and Liberty Broadband and other agreements related to tax matters. Under the facilities sharing agreement, Liberty Broadband shares office space with Liberty and related amenities at Liberty’s corporate headquarters.

Pursuant to the services agreement, Liberty provides Liberty Broadband with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury, information technology, cybersecurity and investor relations support. Liberty Broadband reimburses Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services which are negotiated semi-annually, as necessary.

Under these various agreements, amounts reimbursable to Liberty were approximately $8 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Liberty Broadband had a tax sharing receivable with QVC Group of approximately $10 million and $20 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, included in Restricted cash and other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
