​Management noted that the revenue decline was due to a 10% decrease in video revenue and 8% decrease in news and advertising revenue. The company is facing subscriber losses in broadband and video segments, CFO Sirota stated:

​”Net losses were primarily driven by fewer gross additions reflecting continued low household move activity, heightened price sensitivity among customers, and sustained competitive intensity.”

​Looking ahead, management aims to focus on improving subscriber growth, maintaining financial discipline, and investing to create long-term shareholder value.
