text: **Higher Adjusted Operating Profit**
  Adjusted operating profit was 7% higher this year mainly the net result 
  of higher service revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses. 
  The increase in the adjusted operating profit margin reflects a 
  continued shift in product mix to the higher margin Internet and phone 
  products combined with efficiency gains. This increased our adjusted 
  operating profit margin to 49.4%, compared to 47.8% in 2012. 
  
  **Discontinued Operations**
  In 2012, we closed our Video store operations, which offered DVD and 
  video game rentals of equipment and sales in many of our corporate- 
  owned retail locations. The results of the Video business were treated as 
  discontinued operations for accounting and reporting purposes. See 
  “Review of Consolidated Performance”. 
  Excluding the results of Mountain Cable which we acquired in the 
  second quarter of 2013: 
  (cid:129) revenue would have been 2% higher this year compared to last year, 
  instead of 3% higher as reported 
  (cid:129) adjusted operating profit would have been 5% higher this year 
  
  **Higher Operating Expenses**
  We assess Cable operating expenses in three categories: 
  (cid:129) the cost of equipment sales (cable digital set-top box and Internet 
  
  compared to last year, instead of 7% higher as reported.
