Charter Communications logged its fourth consecutive decline in quarterly revenue as its count of internet and video subscribers continues to drop.
The company posted a second-quarter profit of $1.29 billion, or $10.66 a share, compared with $1.3 billion, or $9.18 a share, in the year-earlier quarter with a larger base of shares outstanding. Analysts polled by FactSet had been expecting $9.98 a share.
Revenue pulled back by 1.8% to $13.53 billion, just ahead of analyst estimates for $13.51 billion.
During the quarter, internet subscribers fell by 172,000 to a total of 29.4 million, while video customers dropped by 21,000 to about 12.5 million.
Rising competition from fixed wireless and fiber connection services have been eating into the company's home-internet subscriber base while cord-cutting is weighing on its cable business.
Charter has meanwhile been building up its Spectrum Mobile business, which added 406,000 lines during the second quarter.
