Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. These may include estimates, projections and statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, which are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "potential," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "commit," "plan," "goal," "may," "should," "could," "will," “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks and uncertainties we describe in the "Risk Factors" sections of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include changes in and/or risks associated with: the competitive environment; consumer behavior; the advertising market; consumer acceptance of our content; programming costs; key distribution and/or licensing agreements; use and protection of our intellectual property; our reliance on third-party hardware, software and operational support; keeping pace with technological developments; cyber attacks, security breaches or technology disruptions; weak economic conditions; acquisitions and strategic initiatives; operating businesses internationally; natural disasters, severe weather-related and other uncontrollable events; loss of key personnel; labor disputes; laws and regulations; adverse decisions in litigation or governmental investigations; and other risks described from time to time in reports and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise. The amount and timing of any dividends and share repurchases are subject to business, economic and other relevant factors. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow. Refer to the Notes following this presentation for a description of our non-GAAP measures, and we also provide reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in our Form 8-K (Quarterly Earnings Release) announcing our quarterly earnings and in our trending schedule, which can be found on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on our website at www.cmcsa.com. 2#3COMCAST 2023 Financial Highlights $121.6B in Revenue $37.6B in Adjusted EBITDA $3.98 in Adjusted EPS $13.0B in Free Cash Flow $15.8B in Return of Capital Raising dividend by $0.08 to $1.24 on an annualized basis in 2024, +6.9% y/y; 16th consecutive annual increase Strong balance sheet with investment- grade credit ratings 3 Six Key Growth Drivers: 55% of 2023 Total Revenue; Grew 8% Y/Y* ● ● ● Residential Broadband Wireless Business Services Theme Parks Streaming Studios *Key Growth Drivers amount represents the aggregate of the categories listed.

Minor differences in totals and percentage calculations may exist due to rounding. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, we changed our presentation of segment operating results around our two primary businesses, Connectivity & Platforms and Content & Experiences. We have updated certain historical information as a result of these changes, including: (1) presentation of Cable Communications results in the Residential Connectivity & Platforms and Business Services Connectivity segments and (2) presentation of Sky's results across the Connectivity & Platforms and Content & Experiences segments, and Corporate & Other. Customer metrics for 2022 have been updated to reflect the new segment presentation, and to align methodologies for counting business customer metrics to: (1) include locations receiving our services outside of our distribution system and (2) now count certain customers based on the number of locations receiving services, including arrangements whereby third parties provide connectivity services leveraging our distribution system. These changes in methodology were not material to any period presented. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Comcast Corporation before net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax expense, investment and other income (loss), net, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating gains and losses (such as impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of long-lived assets), if any. From time to time, we may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) that affect the period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. Refer to our Form 8-K (Quarterly Earnings Release) for a reconciliation and further details. We define Adjusted EPS as our diluted earnings per common share attributable to Comcast Corporation shareholders adjusted to exclude the effects of the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, investments that investors may want to evaluate separately (such as based on fair value) and the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect period-over-period comparisons. Refer to our Form 8-K (Quarterly Earnings Release) for a reconciliation and further details. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets. From time to time, we may exclude from Free Cash Flow the impact of certain cash receipts or payments (such as significant legal settlements) that affect period-to-period comparability. Cash payments related to certain capital or intangible assets, such as the construction of Universal Beijing Resort, are presented separately in our Statement of Cash Flows and are therefore excluded from capital expenditures and cash paid for intangible assets for Free Cash Flow. Refer to our Form 8-K (Quarterly Earnings Release) for a reconciliation and further details. Constant currency growth rates are calculated by comparing the results for each comparable prior year period adjusted to reflect the average exchange rates from each current period presented, rather than the actual exchange rates that were in effect during the respective periods. Refer to our Form 8-K (Quarterly Earnings Release) for a reconciliation and further details. From time to time, we may present adjusted information (e.g., Adjusted Revenues) to exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges affecting period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. Reported 4Q23 and 4Q22 Consolidated, Connectivity & Platforms, Residential Connectivity & Platforms, Business Services Connectivity and Content & Experiences Adjusted EBITDA included severance and other in those periods. Refer to our Form 8-K (Quarterly Earnings Release) for a reconciliation and further details. As of December 31, 2023 - Consolidated net debt of $87.6 billion represents long-term debt, including current portion (as stated in our Consolidated Balance Sheet), less cash and cash equivalents (as stated in our Consolidated Balance Sheet) and adjusted to exclude $3.5 billion of debt and $0.3 billion of cash at Universal Beijing Resort. Consolidated net leverage is calculated as net debt/trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted to exclude Universal Beijing Resort. The denominator of $37.4 billion represents Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 of $37.6 billion, as presented in our trending schedule, adjusted to exclude $0.2 billion of Universal Beijing Resort Adjusted EBITDA. As of December 31, 2022 - Consolidated net debt of $86.7 billion represents long-term debt, including current portion (as stated in our Consolidated Balance Sheet), less cash and cash equivalents (as stated in our Consolidated Balance Sheet) and adjusted to exclude $3.5 billion of debt and $0.1 billion of cash at Universal Beijing Resort. Consolidated net leverage is calculated as net debt/trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted to exclude Universal Beijing Resort. The denominator of $36.6 billion represents Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 of $36.5 billion, as presented in our trending schedule, adjusted to exclude $0.2 billion of Universal Beijing Resort Adjusted EBITDA losses. 11#12000 I GRAND xumo COMCAST THE GREAT The Great Apps & inputs View all 4Q 2023 IN PHOTOS NETFLIX JACK RYAN Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Hell's Kitchen prime YouTube Disney+ hulu video 12.56pm HELL'S KITCHEN Spotity peacock K-6#13Connectivity: 2023: Comcast Begins Rolling Out DOCSIS 4.0; Increases Passings by 1.1 Million.
