Equipment Installment Plan Financing Facility | Equipment Installment Plan Financing Facility CCO EIP Financing, LLC (the “SPV Borrower”), a bankruptcy remote special purpose vehicle and consolidated subsidiary of the Company, is the borrower of a senior secured revolving credit facility to finance the purchase of equipment installment plan receivables (“EIP Receivables”) with a number of financial institutions (the “EIP Financing Facility”). The revolving credit facility under the EIP Financing Facility bears interest on the outstanding borrowings based on lenders’ cost of funds plus an applicable margin and was 5.45% and 5.78% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In June 2025, the revolving credit facility under the EIP Financing Facility was amended to extend the maturity date and increase borrowing capacity to $1.6 billion, among other amendments. The EIP Financing Facility has a final maturity date of December 20, 2028, comprised of a six-month revolving loan period subject to renewal, and if not renewed, cash flows on EIP Receivables are applied to amortize the loan which may occur over a period of up to three years. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the EIP Financing Facility was $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, and is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The SPV Borrower’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the EIP Receivables from Spectrum Mobile Equipment, LLC, (the sole direct parent entity of SPV Borrower that originates the EIP Receivables) and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such EIP Receivables to the administrative agent under the EIP Financing Facility. The SPV Borrower is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the SPV Borrower’s assets prior to any assets or value in the SPV Borrower becoming available to the SPV Borrower’s equity holders, and the assets of the SPV Borrower are not available to pay creditors of any other affiliate of the Company. The EIP Financing Facility is accounted for on a consolidated basis as a secured borrowing. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, pledged EIP Receivables with an unpaid principal balance of $1.9 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, included in accounts receivable, net and other noncurrent assets, and restricted cash of $43 million and $47 million, respectively, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, are held by the SPV Borrower and reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Receipts from mobile customers related to the underlying EIP Receivables are reflected as cash flows from operating activities and borrowings and repayments under the EIP Financing Facility are reflected as cash flows from financing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
