Descriptiontext

Liberty Broadband Corporation is a publicly traded holding company (NASDAQ: LBRDA, LBRDK, LBRDP) incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Englewood, Colorado. Founded in 2014, the company's principal asset is a substantial equity interest in Charter Communications, the second largest cable operator in the United States, which provides broadband internet, cable television, voice, and managed services to residential and business customers across 41 states. Following the July 2025 spin-off of GCI Liberty, Inc. (subsequently renamed Liberty Capital Corporation in May 2026), Liberty Broadband's holdings are concentrated almost entirely in Charter Communications, with the company serving as a leveraged investment vehicle for investors seeking exposure to U.S. broadband infrastructure.

The company does not develop or distribute consumer-facing products or services directly. Its revenue mechanics consist of equity-method income from Charter Communications and dividend income from its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which carries a $0.4375 quarterly cash dividend ($1.75 annualized, approximately 7.5% yield). The company completed a $860 million private offering of 3.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2054 in 2024 to strengthen its capital structure. Charter Communications has announced plans to acquire Liberty Broadband, a transaction subject to shareholder and regulatory approval that would eliminate the holding company structure.

Liberty Broadband's distribution model is investor-relations focused, relying on SEC filings, press releases, earnings calls, and annual shareholder meetings to communicate with shareholders and analysts. Governance is led by Chairman John C. Malone, with a board composed of cable industry veterans and investment professionals. The company's strategic direction is determined by capital allocation decisions within the broader Malone-controlled Liberty ecosystem, which includes Liberty Media Corporation and Liberty Live Holdings.
