We have also included a presentation this morning to complement our prepared remarks. I'll turn the call over to WOW's Chief Executive Officer, Teresa Elder. Thanks, Andrew. Welcome to WOW's second quarter earnings call. Our results this quarter continue to reflect our strategic focus on market expansion, strengthening our legacy footprint, and aggressively managing our customer, our cost base. WOW is undergoing two significant transitions. First is our market expansion. We are committed to building 400,000 fiber Greenfield homes by 2027, which accelerates our transition to a broadband business. Additionally, we are also increasing our edge-out activity with both advanced HFC, which can enable DOCSIS 4.0 and 10G capability, as well as fiber-to-the-home edge-outs in certain markets. We are pleased to share that as of the end of July, we have added 16,900 new homes passed so far this year in both Greenfield and edge-out areas, which is more than we've added in the last three years combined. I'm pleased to share that we are on pace to achieve more than 50,000 new homes passed this year, more than the last four years combined. These market expansion initiatives continue to be central to our strategy and represent the core thesis of our growth and value proposition. In Q2, we saw success in improving our legacy footprint while adding new homes passed in our Greenfield and edge-out markets. Importantly, the growth of new customers in these areas is exceeding our expectations. Our second transition is primarily within our legacy base. We made the shift to Broadband First a few years ago, and we have seen our margin consistently grow while customers appreciate our high speeds and good value with great service. We listened to our customers and embraced streaming and the customer's desire to cut the cord on traditional video services. We just launched the next step in our transformation to a broadband business, which involves transitioning our low-margin video business to a high-margin streaming service. We believe this partnership with YouTube TV creates a competitive advantage and presents an excellent opportunity to offer customers what they want at an exceptional price point. YouTube TV gives customers a more robust choice of programming at savings of hundreds of dollars annually over traditional cable. Customers get an additional discount off of YouTube TV when they subscribe with WOW. They also get a discount on add-ons like the NFL Sunday Ticket, which is exclusive to YouTube TV. In addition to the benefits to our customers, we will be able to accelerate the reclamation of bandwidth previously used for our legacy video service. This allows WOW to efficiently transition our network for DOCSIS 4.0 and serve the growing demand for customer usage without overbuilding our own network. YouTube TV also allows us to transition away from higher cost, low margin video to a high margin service with an even greater mix of channels. What we are doing is unique among cable operators and is giving customers more of what they really want at a much better price. These initiatives represent the next phase of the strategy that we articulated at the end of 2021. With regard to HSD subscribers, we saw a steady improvement as we make further progress in our base and continue to be on track to return to growth this year. During the second quarter, we lost 900 high-speed data RGUs, which was better than expected, and as of the end of the second quarter, we now have approximately 508,000 high-speed data subscribers. Our video business declined further during the quarter, which we expect to continue as a significant number of customers are no longer taking traditional video and choosing to stream content instead. As mentioned, the new partnership with YouTube TV presents a fantastic opportunity to capitalize on this trend, and we believe will also drive an increase in HSD subscribers. In fact, we're seeing an uptick in HSD connects already, just one week after launching YouTube TV. This new video model also will decrease our operating expenses over time, since we will see fewer truck rolls and calls into the call center than from our traditional video. We expect to see positive contribution this year to a limited extent and a more meaningful contribution next year. Our Broadband First strategy continues to be reflected in our metrics, as 87.1% of new customers purchased HSD only. This is the 12th consecutive quarter with an average sell-in rate of approximately 87% or higher. Demand for higher speeds is not abating either. In fact, our record share of new customers is buying higher speeds than ever. Our high-speed data-only sell-in mix showed that a record high of 91% of our customers, new customers are buying speeds of 200 Meg or above, and approximately 82% are taking speeds above 500 Meg, including further momentum in customers taking our 1.2 Gig service. As we said before, this trend is even more pronounced in our new markets, where nearly 94% of customers are buying speeds of 500 Meg and above. These statistics demonstrate the strong demand for faster and higher speeds and the superior quality and reliability of our network. It also reinforces our confidence in our ability to continue taking share in our new markets. High-speed data ARPU increased to a record $70, reflecting the full effect of the rate increase that was introduced on March 1st for a small number of customers, and to a greater extent, customers purchasing higher data speeds. High-speed data ARPU will continue to increase in the back half of the year as we see the impact of an HSD rate increase that was put into effect on July 1st to another portion of our base that weren't impacted in March. We also expect ARPU, to grow as existing customers upgrade to higher speeds and from the addition of new fiber customers in Greenfield markets and new edge-outs. I would like to spend a few minutes providing an update on our expansion strategy, which is really starting to accelerate. Through June thirtieth, we passed a total of 11,700 Greenfield homes in Central Florida and in our edge-outs. Since the end of June, we added another 5,200 homes, bringing the total number of new homes passed this year in Greenfield and edge-outs to 16,900, which is nearly six times the number of new homes added in all of 2022. In fact, since the beginning of 2021, we have now passed nearly 22,000 new homes, of which nearly 78% were added this year. We expect the pace of adding homes passed to continue to increase throughout the year. As you can see in the slide, response to our entrance to these markets has been fantastic. The Greenfield homes are built with the latest fiber-to-the-home technology, and our 2023 edge-outs are utilizing either fiber-to-the-home or new technology for HFC, which puts us on the road to DOCSIS 4.0 and 10G capability in those markets. The strength of these technologies is absolutely contributing to the strong penetration rates that we are seeing. The chart on the right-hand side of the slide shows exactly how successful our expansion strategy is, with strong penetration rates across all of our vintages. Our 2023 vintage of edge-outs are already at 23.4% penetration rate, while our 2021 and 2022 vintages also reported exceptionally strong penetration rates of 45% and 31%, respectively. While our Greenfield markets are at 20% penetration in aggregate, they are averaging penetration rates of 30% in 30 days from launch. That's a 1% increase in penetration per day. This is substantially faster than we expected in our original business case, which tells us we picked the right markets and our playbook is resonating with customers. Edge-outs are also performing very well, with early penetration rates that exceed our expectations and demonstrate the extremely strong reception to WOW's high-speed internet, exceptional customer service, and competitive value proposition. As we said before, our expansion strategy remains an engine of growth for our business, and the performance supports our confidence in our ability to grow quickly in new markets. While we haven't externally announced a target for new homes passed for 2023 before, we now feel confident in saying that we will surpass 50,000 new homes in 2023 between Greenfield and edge-outs. To conclude, before handing the call to John, we are in the midst of two major transformations of our business. First, the expansion of our homes passed through Greenfield and edge-outs. Already this year, we have built nearly six times more homes than all of last year and well more than the last three years combined. We are driving subscriber growth faster in those markets than we'd planned. Second, we are continuing to transform our legacy footprint through the next phase of Broadband First through our unique partnership for a cable operator with YouTube TV, which gives us a lower cost, higher margin service that is more attractive to our customers and efficiently accelerates our path to DOCSIS 4.0. Our strategy, our plan, and our execution continue to put us in a good position to deliver value to our customers, employees, and shareholders as we look to the remainder of this year and into 2024. I'll turn the call over to John, who will go over our financial results in more detail. Thanks, Teresa, in the second quarter, total revenue decreased 2% from the same period last year to $172.6 million, reflecting a 4% increase in high-speed data revenue and a 12.8% and 6.2% reduction in video and telephony, respectively. The increase in HSD, revenue reflects a full quarter impact of last quarter's rate increase on a portion of the base, as well as new and existing customers upgrading to higher speed tiers. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3.5% from the same period last year to $68.1 million, as we continue to invest in growing our expansion footprints in Central Florida, South Carolina, and edge-outs. There are upfront costs associated, upfront operating costs which we incur while developing a new market. Through June 30th, total market expansion operating expenses totaled $2.1 million, which was a drain on EBITDA as the expenses are incurred before the market goes live. This dynamic will start to normalize as we continue to increase our expansion subs. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 39.5%. The incremental contribution margin increased sequentially and continued to grow year-over-year, driven by the proportionate increase in HSD revenue, which increased to 62% of our total revenue this quarter, up from 58% in the same period last year. Incremental contribution margin increased by 2.7 percentage points from the same period last year. Now for a progress update on our cost structure alignment following the divestiture of the five service areas. We continue to be on pace to hit our target of $35.5 million by the end of 2025. As of the second quarter, our total savings equate to $24 million, which represents approximately 67% of the $35.5 million we identified for cost reduction over the next few years. In addition to these measures, we've also implemented additional headcount reductions, predominantly in our corporate and administrative areas, that are reflected in integration and excluded from our adjusted EBITDA. We've made tremendous progress on realizing savings across the company, and we will continue to be diligent as we manage costs despite the higher inflationary environment. We ended the quarter with total cash of $23 million and total outstanding debt of $868.1 million, with our leverage ratio at 3.1x. We reported total capital spend of $63.6 million, which is up $28.9 million from last year. Our core CapEx efficiency increased to 19.2% of the second quarter. Expansion CapEx increased to $22.5 million from the same period last year, as we continue to heavily invest in our future growth and bring fiber to the homes of Central Florida and Greenville, South Carolina. In the second quarter, we spent $23 million on Greenfields, $3.7 million on edge-outs, and an additional $3.7 million on business services. Looking at the right side of the slide, our results for Q2 2023 unlevered adjusted free cash flow, which we define as Adjusted EBITDA less CapEx, decreased to $4.5 million, down from $35.9 million in Q2 of 2022, primarily driven by the share repurchase program and higher expansion spend, predominantly on Greenfields. This morning, we reported a net loss of $101.7 million. This is due to a non-cash impairment charge that we took as a result of the decline in our stock price during the quarter. This charge, which is a non-cash accounting adjustment, does not affect our ability to manage our business or alter our investments in Greenfields, edge-outs, or any aspect of our expansion strategy, and we remain excited about our progress in the new markets. In the second quarter, we completed our share repurchase program and repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares at an average price of $9.37 per share. Finally, before we open the call for questions, I'd like to provide our outlook for the third quarter and full year. We expect our third quarter HSD, revenue to be between $109 million and $112 million, and for the year to be between $437 million and $441 million. Our transition to YouTube TV is impacting our outlook for total revenue. We just launched our new video offering, which is replacing our current video delivery service. This will result in lower total revenue because we will recognize the YouTube TV revenue on a net basis, unlike current video revenue, which is reported on a gross basis. In the near term, as we migrate our customers and add new subscribers, the impact will drive total revenue lower. As the business scales and grows, this transaction will have a significant and positive impact on our EBITDA and EBITDA margins. Over time, we anticipate our new video strategy will drive down calls to our call center and video-related truck rolls. Today, we are lowering total revenue for the third quarter and for the full year, and expect third quarter total revenue to be between $173 million and $176 million, and be between $691 million and $696 million for the full year. We expect our third quarter Adjusted EBITDA, to be between $70 million and $73 million, and be between $286 million and $290 million for the full year. For HSD net adds, we are maintaining our expectations for the year. We're seeing significant progress in the pace of construction in new markets, and we're excited by the increased number of homes passed and the penetration rates that we have been realizing as we light up those new homes. We're also seeing the benefits in our legacy markets as we see ARPU growth within our subscriber base and increasing HSD growth with the addition of YouTube TV as our streaming service. We expect third quarter HSD net adds to be between -1,500 and +500, and continue to expect the full year to be between 6,000 and 10,000 net adds. We believe that we are now at a true inflection point in our transition to a Broadband First business. Our market expansion initiatives are now accelerating and delivering results, as seen in the strong penetration rates. Our partnership with YouTube, which transitions our video business to a live TV streaming service, will give us a competitive advantage across our entire footprint and contribute to strong Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA margins as that business scales. With all of these initiatives underway and progressing well, we anticipate our business to achieve mid-single-digit EBITDA growth in the near future. Now we'd like to open up the line for some questions. Thank you. At this time, I'd like to remind everyone, in order to ask a question, press star and then the 1 on your telephone keypad. We'll pause for just a moment as we compile the Q&A roster. Our first analyst is Frank Louthan from Raymond James. Frank, go ahead. Thank you. You're clearly having some good success with the edge-outs in the Greenfield. What can you do to change that? Are you giving out any significant promotions or anything that's helping you get this pretty significant penetration in the Greenfield? Then secondly, on the balance sheet, as you've got, you know, $100 million or so left on the revolver, how long is the revolver available? Then what about funding for next year, running pretty close to, to break even on the free cash flow? What do you see as far as needs new funding, and where do you see leverage topping out? Thanks. Thanks, Frank. I'll take the first question, then turn it over to John for the second half on the revolver. I'm actually really pleased by the things that we're starting to see within our legacy base, in addition to the good goodness that we're seeing from the greenfields as well. If you really break down the second quarter adds, our net adds, you know, would have been, without the greenfields, a net loss of just 1,300, which is a significant improvement from the previous quarter, and that is even with a rate increase that is in there. We're also seeing, I think, some good traction with the launch of YouTube TV. That is having an overall uplift effect on our HSD net adds. We have also had some success with some promotions that we've done, yet with that, we're also able to bundle with other services and continue to drive that ARPU growth. We're actually pleased by some of the goodness that we're seeing within our legacy footprint as well. Along with the work that we're doing on cost efficiency, we see the operating statistics looking very good on legacy as well as in our Greenfield business. John, do you want to talk about the revolver? Yeah, excuse me. Yes, as you know, the revolver, total capacity is $250 million, so we did dip into it. We're always in and out of the revolver, but we've dipped into it a bit. I think drivers of that, in the past quarter were the Sprint settlement, that upfront payment that we had to make, and quite frankly, the cost of capital, as you guys know, with variable interest rates, has been rising. Our expectation that we will start to take the revolver down as we blow through the second half of the year. It's also my expectation that the revolver, excuse me, that the leverage ratio is not going to go above 3.5 times. I think we see a path to do all the things we want to do, you know, but it's, it's, it's day by day. We don't see any big, you know, we don't see any big need to, you know, to, to push the revolver in, in, in excess of $3.5, and I don't anticipate at this time going out to try to get more capital. I think we can do this. Okay, great. Thank you very much. Thanks, Frank. Our next analyst is Brandon Nispel from KeyBanc. Brandon, go ahead. Great. Thank you for taking the questions. Can you maybe give us some, some more detail on the price increase? I think you mentioned there was one in March, and there was one in July. Maybe could you unpack that in terms of% of customers receiving each and average rate, so we can understand the underlying growth in ARPU from just pure upselling? You know, on the second half, from a HSD, net add perspective, it still implies fourth quarter is by far and away your best quarter and, and a, and a big positive number after the first three quarters of the year are expected to be negative. How do you get confident around that? It seems like a pretty healthy ramp. Thanks. Thanks, Brandon. Okay, on the rate increase, our rate increases, dollar-wise, are consistent with our competitors that are out there, so it still keeps us at the same kind of value proposition for customers, as our competitors have also increased rate increase, increased the high-speed data rate. We had a small percentage of the customers in March. In July, it was the majority of our base was due for a rate increase. So that started with July bills, and is pretty well, will work its way throughout this whole quarter then, that they'll get that rate increase. In addition, though, I can't emphasize enough the higher speed tiers that customers are taking. We decided for the first time this quarter, to share more about the% that is taking 500 meg and above of the new customers, as well as up-tiering among our existing base. All of those things give us a lot of confidence as we look for the future. Speaking of confidence, I guess, for the future, in terms of our high-speed data adds for the remainder of this year, I think there are a number of really exciting things that are happening, both in our legacy edge out and Greenfield areas. As we mentioned, we are seeing an uplift from YouTube TV in terms of our high-speed data connects throughout all of our footprints, legacy as well as edge outs and Greenfield. Then in our new areas, we are not only seeing much faster penetration than we anticipated, but the ARPUs being higher as customers take higher speeds. All of this makes us feel good about our high-speed data numbers. All of this done with still very loyal customers and low churn. We feel good about those components and believe that we can hit that full year HSD number for the year. Thank you, Brandon. Next up, we have Matthew, Matthew, go ahead. Thank you. As you know, I've always been fascinated by your logit model, which seems to be working pretty well for determining what areas you go into for greenfields. I know you haven't gone into that many areas, so you don't have that much of a cross-sectional comparison, but what do you feel like you're learning? I mean, you have to be really happy with the results you're getting, you know, thus far. Are there any implications for accelerating the build? I know you're trying to remain, remain sane on your on your spending and all that but is that still a moving target in terms of how active you're going to be say over a three year timeline on the on the edge outs, given the evident success you have on the Greenfields, given the evident success you're having? Thank you. Thanks, Matt. I'd say we're learning a number of things. First of all, we feel very confident in the criteria that we're using for the selection process of new markets. We're delighted by what we're seeing, part of that also is the playbook we use once we've selected a market. That playbook is everything from making sure we have strong relationships with the local communities, the leaders of those communities, the city officials, the power companies, all of those things, and those partners that you need to build out the market. In addition, we do a lot of pre-work in terms of market awareness. I think our sales packages and our strategies for addressing the market are very strong, as evidenced by the results we're seeing of 30% penetration in 30 days, 1% penetration per day for those first 30 days. We feel good about the whole playbook, from selection through launch of the market. We do feel like we are probably on track to announce another market or two yet this year. For the first time today, we shared that we do plan to pass 50,000 homes between Greenfield and Edge Outs this year, and we're still on track to deliver our 400,000 homes that we have promised. We feel good about the pace of what we're doing. As you can see from our trajectory from the first quarter to the second quarter, that we even tipped our hand and shared what we've been doing in July, the pace is picking up. There's a significant amount of pre-work that needs to be done, then you get the machine rolling, and I feel very good about the way that our market expansion team has been really rolling out these new homes. It's a joint effort. It's very exciting. In terms of the learnings as well, what's interesting is those things we're learning in our new markets, those insights we're bringing back into Legacy, if we're learning something that's a good best practice, and vice versa. We have been competing against very strong operators our entire existence, and the learnings that we have as a challenger brand continue to reinforce how we know how to compete in every market that we go into. I would say, that's what we're learning, and it's, it's been a very exciting opportunity for our whole company. We always are keeping an eye on the financials and the leverage, to make sure that the pace is appropriate. logit model's a living model, like the U.S. Constitution is a living document. That's good to hear. Thank you. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, we're constantly feeding back in best practices, what we're learning, everything along the way, and that's how WOW works. We're always innovating, always learning, always trying to get better, and I think that's what keeps it exciting here and keeps us a very formidable challenger brand. Great. Thanks, Teresa. Thanks, Matt. Teresa, that's the last of our questions. Can I turn it back over to you for some closing remarks? Absolutely. Thank you so much, and thank you all for joining us this morning. We appreciate your continued interest and support of WOW. Have a great day. That concludes today's call. You may now disconnect.
