CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
A Solid Foundation
We have a strong management team that blends cable veterans and
accomplished executives from other industries to provide the right balance
of expertise and experience. We set clear strategies to generate growth. We
completed sales of geographically non-strategic cable systems. We created
a more efficient operating structure through operational improvements and
realignment of our divisions and market areas. We also completed a number
of refinancing transactions designed to strengthen our balance sheet.
In short, we aligned our team and executed on our business strategies, and
now we’re leveraging that foundation, with a continued focus on generating
revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth.
Mission and Strategy
Our mission is to deliver quality products, service, and value to our
customers, and profitable revenue growth for our stockholders and
other stakeholders.
To achieve the mission, we are focused on four strategic priorities:
+improve the end-to-end customer experience
+increase sales and retention
+focus resources on high-return investments
+improve the balance sheet
Based on these priorities, we rapidly expanded the availability of
Charter Telephone® while enhancing our cable television, high-speed
Internet, and telephone services with value-added features. By offering
these services in bundled packages, we provide customers with the
savings, convenience, and choice they desire. In addition, we are investing
for future growth in areas of the business where we project the highest
returns, and we will continue to opportunistically pursue transactions
that strengthen our financial status. We believe these priorities serve
us well and, through disciplined execution, will enable us to generate
continued growth in 2007 and beyond.
Our high-quality cable
television, high-speed Internet,
and telephone services in
bundled packages provide
customers with the savings,
convenience, and choice
they desire.
