- Layoffs will target its connectivity business.
- Third-quarter segment revenue fell 2.6% to $19.7 billion.

## Summary

Comcast will record a $1 billion charge in the fourth quarter for layoffs and restructuring as it redesigns its broadband, pay-TV and wireless business. Executives said the changes aim to simplify the organisation and improve speed and efficiency, as the company faces subscriber losses and growing competition.

The cuts’ scale and timing have not been disclosed, and NBCUniversal is not expected to be affected ahead of its planned spin-off by mid-2027. Connectivity & Platforms revenue fell 2.6% to $19.7 billion in the third quarter, partly offset by growth in wireless and business services. Comcast also said it had reduced customer service contact rates by about 20% and removed more than 30 million service interactions year on year.
