It discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations, customer trends, and financial results, as well as the company's strategic focus on higher-margin services, infrastructure investments, and capital allocation [Overview](index=28&type=section&id=Overview) Cable One is a fully integrated provider of data, video, and voice services to approximately 984,000 residential and business customers in 21 U.S. states, primarily in non-metropolitan markets. The company's revenue is dominated by residential data (49.9%) and residential video (25.9%). Strategic shifts since 2013 focus on growing higher-margin residential data and business services, de-emphasizing residential video and voice due to declining profitability and competition. Recent acquisitions include Clearwave (2019), Fidelity (2019), and Valu-Net (2020), with strategic investments in Nextlink, Wisper, and a planned MBI investment - Cable One serves approximately **984,000 residential and business customers** in over **950 communities** across **21 states**, with approximately **78%** of customers in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas[116](index=116&type=chunk) - Customer breakdown as of September 30, 2020: **866,000 data**, **277,000 video**, and **132,000 voice subscribers**[116](index=116&type=chunk) Revenue Share by Product Line (First Nine Months of 2020) | Product Line | Share of Total Revenues | | :---------------- | :---------------------- | | Residential data | 49.9% | | Residential video | 25.9% | | Business services | 17.8% | | Residential voice | 3.6% | - Strategic shift since 2013: Focus on growing **higher-margin residential data and business services**, de-emphasizing residential video and voice due to declining profitability and increasing competition[120](index=120&type=chunk) - Infrastructure investments: Over **50%** of total capital expenditures in the last three fiscal years focused on improvements to drive revenue and Adjusted EBITDA expansion, including **Gigabit data service** to approximately **97% of homes passed** and **DOCSIS 3.1 deployment**[125](index=125&type=chunk) - Primary goals: Continue growing residential data and business services revenues, increase profit margins, deliver strong Adjusted EBITDA, and seek broadband-related acquisition and strategic investment opportunities in rural markets[127](index=127&type=chunk) [COVID-19 Update](index=30&type=section&id=COVID-19%20Update) The COVID-19 pandemic led Cable One to modify operations, including restricting in-home technician visits, closing offices, expanding work-from-home, and implementing health protocols. The company waived late charges, suspended data disconnections, offered free public Wi-Fi, and provided a low-cost data plan for low-income families. These actions, along with reduced data overage fees and diminished business sales growth, negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA by $3.3 million (Q3 2020) and $19.8 million (9 months 2020), partially offset by increased residential data customers and lower travel costs. The ERP system implementation remains on schedule for summer 2021 - Operational modifications due to COVID-19: Restricted in-home technician visits, closed/limited office access, expanded work-from-home, implemented 'purpose pay' (concluded Sep 2020), established health protocols[130](index=130&type=chunk) -

Negative Adjusted EBITDA impact from COVID-19 responses: **$3.3 million** (Q3 2020) and **$19.8 million** (9 months 2020), primarily from reduced revenues (overage fees, late charges, reconnect fees) and higher labor/operating costs[133](index=133&type=chunk) - Offsetting positive impacts: Greater-than-usual gain in residential data customers and associated revenue increase, lower travel costs, and sequentially lower bad debt expense in Q3 2020[133](index=133&type=chunk) -
