Pro forma cash flow is expected to rise from $4.4 billion in 2014 to $6.6 billion by 2019.</p><p>In 2013, Charter reported total revenue of about $8.4 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 billion.</p><p>Back in April, Charter cut a series of deals with Comcast and Time Warner Cable in which Stamford, Conn.-based Charter would swap systems with 1.6 million of its subscribers for Comcast properties with 1.5 million customers.</p><p>Charter also agreed to buy systems with 1.4 million customers from Time Warner Cable. And Charter will own 33% of a separate, publicly traded entity called GreatLand Connections, which includes former Comcast systems in the Midwest and Southeast with 2.5 million subscribers.</p><p>Charter will manage the systems for GreatLand — and receive a management fee of 4.25% of GreatLand’s revenue, or an estimated $200 million in 2015 — and the properties will take advantage of Charter’s programming contracts.</p><p>GreatLand, headed by cable veteran and former Insight Communications chairman Michael Willner, is expected to report revenue of $4.6 billion in 2014, rising to $6 billion by 2019. That figure could rise even higher if GreatLand participates in continued industry consolidation, as is expected.</p><p>Analysts had been conservative in their forecasts mainly because about half of the new Charter will consist of slower-growth — Charter’s characterization — Time Warner Cable systems.</p><p>While CEO Tom Rutledge said recently that those TWC systems are “where Char ter was a couple of years ago,” in terms of their digital networks, he noted that Charter converted 4 million customers to all-digital in about 13 months.</p>
