Note 13: Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Comcast (“Comcast Parent”), Comcast Cable Communications, LLC (“CCCL Parent”), Comcast MO Group, Inc. (“Comcast MO Group”), Comcast Cable Holdings, LLC (“CCH”) and Comcast MO of Delaware, LLC (“Comcast MO of Delaware”) (collectively, the “cable guarantors”) and NBCUniversal (“NBCUniversal Media Parent”) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed each other’s debt securities. In addition, the Comcast and Comcast Cable Communications, LLC $6.25 billion revolving credit facility due June 2017 and the Comcast commercial paper program are also fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NBCUniversal Media Parent. The Comcast commercial paper program is supported by the Comcast and Comcast Cable Communications, LLC revolving credit facility. Comcast MO Group, CCH and Comcast MO of Delaware are collectively referred to as the “Combined CCHMO Parents.”

In October 2015, Comcast MO Group, CCH and Comcast MO of Delaware merged with and into CCCL Parent. As the merger occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date, it is not reflected in the following condensed consolidating financial statements, which reflect our guarantee structure as of September 30, 2015.

Comcast Parent and the cable guarantors also fully and unconditionally guarantee NBCUniversal Enterprise’s $4 billion senior notes, as well as its $1.35 billion revolving credit facility due March 2018 and the associated commercial paper program. NBCUniversal Media Parent does not guarantee the NBCUniversal Enterprise senior notes, credit facility or commercial paper program.

Comcast Parent provides an unconditional subordinated guarantee of the $185 million principal amount currently outstanding of Comcast Holdings’ ZONES due October 2029. Neither the cable guarantors nor NBCUniversal Media Parent guarantee the Comcast Holdings’ ZONES due October 2029. None of Comcast Parent, the cable guarantors nor NBCUniversal Media Parent guarantee the $62 million principal amount currently outstanding of Comcast Holdings’ ZONES due November 2029.
