GCI Liberty Q1 Revenue Drops 4% to $256M, OIBDA Plunges 18% Amid Video Business Exit
Summary
GCI Liberty reported a 4% year-over-year decline in Q1 revenue to $256 million, with Adjusted OIBDA plunging 18% to $93 million. The revenue fall was primarily driven by the company's full exit from the video business in 2025 and a 3% decline in cable modem subscribers. This negative financial performance follows a significant net loss reported for fiscal year 2025. While the company recently announced the strategic acquisition of Quintillion for $310 million, which is expected to be accretive to free cash flow, the current quarter's results highlight ongoing operational challenges and pressure on profitability from higher operating expenses. Traders will be watching for signs of stabilization in the core consumer business and the successful integration and financial contribution from the Quintillion acquisition.
