**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Record Financial Performance**: GCI Liberty reported $1 billion in revenue and $400 million in adjusted EBITDA for 2025, both all-time highs. Fourth-quarter revenue was $262 million, flat year-over-year, with adjusted OIBDA of $90 million, up 7%.
- **Rights Offering Success**: The $300 million rights offering was fully subscribed, providing flexibility for strategic investments and acquisitions.
- **Network Challenges and Recovery**: Two fiber breaks in Dutch Harbor and Deering were repaired within two weeks and are expected to be fully restored by summer 2026. Typhoon Fung-wong-related repairs were completed in 4 months, with minimal ongoing impact.
- **Subscriber Growth**: Consumer wireless lines reached 199,000 (up 2% YoY), driven by 6,700 postpaid additions via the unlimited test drive promotion. However, data subscribers declined 3% YoY to 151,200 due to wireless substitution and third-party network issues.
- **2026 Priorities**: Focus on network upgrades (DOCSIS 4.0, 5G), completing Alaska plan build-outs, and expanding converged services. Free BEAD funding of $120 million may offset rural expansion costs.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Financial Health**: Year-end cash was $429 million, with net leverage at 1.6x. 2025 free cash flow was $146 million, up 70% YoY, driven by operational efficiency and working capital improvements.
- **Revenue Breakdown**: Consumer revenue declined 2% YoY due to video business shutdown, while business revenue grew 7% on upgrades. Wireless subsidies and rural expansion supported growth.
- **Cost Management**: Video programming costs were eliminated, and temporary savings from a third-party fiber break reduced direct costs. Gross margins improved to 70.7% (consumer) and 80.1% (business).
- **CapEx Outlook**: 2026 CapEx of $290 million (peak year) will focus on Alaska plan wireless build-outs, urban HFC upgrades, and 5G infrastructure. Post-2026, CapEx is expected to return to 15-20% of revenue.

**【Q&A Key Highlights】**
- **Margins 2026**: Stable year expected, with no video programming costs but offsetting revenue declines. Margins will depend on wireless subsidy trends and network efficiency gains.
- **CapEx Cadence**: Q2-Q3 peak spending on rural wireless and urban network upgrades. $20 million of 2025 CapEx carried over due to timing shifts.
- **BEAD Funding**: $120 million provisional award subject to NTIA approval; could support rural expansion but timing uncertain.
