LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
A remarkable year!
In 2000, Charter moved to the top tier of the cable industry, as we positioned
our company for leadership in the emerging world of broadband.
Call it delivering on our vision, achieving our goals
or just executing our business plan, Charter
Communications has done what we said we would
do – and more. We exceeded our ambitious goals
for 2000 – achievements in financial growth that
kept us at the top of our industry throughout the year.
Simultaneously, we continued to make investments in
broadband capacity, advanced services and customer
care to sustain our leadership and growth.
In our first summary annual report a year ago, we
introduced Charter Communications as a new public company following
our initial public offering in November 1999. In the year since, Charter
has come a long way toward making our Wired World vision a reality.
2000 – EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS, SURPASSING GOALS
We’re pleased to report that we met, and in most cases significantly
exceeded, all of the goals we set at the beginning of
the year, as well as those expected by Wall Street
analysts. Charter attained the following goals in the
year 2000:
>> We successfully integrated the systems we acquired
in 1999 and 2000 serving some 3.9 million
customers, achieving projected synergies and
improving customer care.
