Over the five-year period (2021–2025) Charter’s balance sheet shows modest growth in total assets from $142,491m to $154,213m (+$11,722m, ≈+8.2% total, ~2.0% CAGR). Total liabilities rose from $128,441m to $138,159m (+$9,718m, ≈+7.6%), but movements were uneven: a large jump into 2022 (+$6,963m) was followed by only small changes in 2023, a decline in 2024, and a rebound in 2025. Stockholders’ equity is the most volatile line — falling sharply from $14,050m in 2021 to $9,119m in 2022 (a ~35% drop), then recovering to $16,054m by 2025 (+$2,004m vs. 2021, ≈+14%). As a result, leverage (liabilities/assets) peaked around 93–94% in 2022 and eased to about 89.6% in 2024–2025, while equity/assets recovered from ~6.3% in 2022 to roughly 10.4% by 2025. The sharp 2022 swing — higher liabilities and a big drop in equity — suggests a material balance-sheet event that year (for example large new borrowings, restructuring, asset revaluations, one-time charges, or significant capital return activity), followed by several years of balance-sheet repair or operating retention that restored equity to and slightly above its 2021 level. Overall growth in assets and liabilities is modest, reflecting a capital‑intensive, low-growth expansion consistent with cable and broadband operators that carry high fixed assets and steady debt to finance network investment. The improved equity ratio in 2024–2025 reduces leverage-related risk compared with 2022, but the company still operates with high absolute leverage typical of the industry, so ongoing cash flow strength and capital allocation choices will be key to sustaining the recovery.
