Optimum Communications filed an amended 10-Q to restate Q2 2026 financials due to a failure to recognize non-cash deferred tax benefits from impairment charges on indefinite-lived cable franchise rights. The restatement reduced net loss by $724M for H1 2026 and $1.2M for Q2 2026, with no impact on revenue, EBITDA, or cash flows. The filing also discloses a material weakness in internal controls over income tax accounting and substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to near-term debt maturities.

• Restatement corrects understated deferred tax benefits from impairment charges on cable franchise rights, reducing net loss by $724.2M for H1 2026 and $1.3M for Q2 2026
• Revenue declined 5.8% YoY to $2.02B in Q2 2026; net loss attributable to stockholders was $290.5M ($0.67/share) vs $96.3M ($0.21/share) in Q2 2025
• Company has $4.12B debt maturing April 2027 and $2.23B maturing July 2027; management states substantial doubt exists about ability to continue as going concern
