Comcast’s Q4 2009 revenue increased 2.9% to $9.1 billion and operating cash flow increased 1.1% to $3.4 billion, reflecting continued growth in its Cable division, partially offset by higher expenses in Programming and Corporate costs. Fourth quarter 2009 Operating Income increased 3.4% to $1.8 billion.
Revenue increased 3.9% in 2009 to $35.8 billion, while Operating Cash Flow increased 4.4% to $13.7 billion and Operating Income increased 7.2% to $7.2 billion.
“In 2009, we continued to invest in our products and services and in growth opportunities like Comcast Business Services. We also made real progress deploying All-Digital and Wideband, and launched innovative products like Comcast High-Speed 2go, our 4G wireless broadband service, and On Demand Online. We believe these initiatives and our focus on delivering the best consumer experience further improves our competitive position now and in the future,” stated Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and CEO of Comcast.
