Comcast on Thursday reported fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded estimates for the top and bottom lines.
Shares of Comcast were up 1.6% in premarket trading.
Here are the key numbers:

Earnings per share: 79 cents vs. 76 cents per share expected, per Refinitiv estimates
Revenue: $28.398 billion vs. $28.169 billion expected, per Refinitiv
High-speed internet customers: 442,000 net adds vs. 378,000 net adds expected, per FactSet estimates
Comcast's big beat on high-speed internet adds makes for the company's best fourth quarter in five years, the company said.
The company has pursued new media assets as other areas of its business, such as video customers, have continued to drop off. CEO Brian Roberts told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday that Comcast has made a "pivot to a broadband-centric cable company."
"I think there is a bifurcation in the market. Some people want a real premium video experience and those customers are very stable and we're very satisfied with that business," Roberts said. "At the same time, we needed to pivot the whole company to the streaming world and I think what's exciting is how well our cable company has done that."

The company reported a net drop in video customers of 149,000 for the fourth quarter, which was higher than the expected loss of 139,000 and worse than what it reported in the year-ago fourth quarter, when it reported a net loss of 29,000 video customers.
Comcast's NBCUniversal segment, which includes broadcast and cable channels, as well as theme parks and studios, saw its revenue slide 2.6% to $9.2 billion during the quarter.
Theatrical revenue for NBCUniversal slumped 21% from a year earlier. The company blamed the decline on the disappointing performance of "Cats," which had a dismal debut at the box office in December. Comcast also cited the strength of film releases in the prior year's fourth quarter, including "The Grinch" and "Halloween."
Revenues in Comcast's Cable division came in at $14.8 billion, which surpassed analysts' expectations of $14.75 billion. Broadcast revenues grew 2.1% to $3.2 billion during the quarter.
Here's how Comcast's other divisions did for the quarter:
Cable communications accounted for $14.395 billion in total revenue
Cable networks accounted for $2.93 billion in total revenue
Broadcast television brought in $3.16 billion in total revenue
Filmed entertainment brought in $1.56 billion in total revenue
Theme Parks brought in $1.56 billion in total revenue
The company said Sky, the British broadcaster it acquired in 2018, saw its customer relationships increase by 77,000 during the quarter to 24 million. Sky brought in $5.04 billion in revenue during the period, an 0.4% increase from the year-ago quarter.
Looking ahead to 2020, Roberts said Comcast is focused on investing in broadband, helping users sort through apps, streaming and aggregation, as well as new expansions in theme parks. The company is also set to make some investments in Sky that will "build growth for the years beyond" 2020, Roberts said.
The quarterly report comes one week after Comcast's NBCUniversal unveiled its new streaming service, "Peacock." The service launches in the U.S. on July 15 with a free version and two paid tiers. Peacock will compete with streaming products from the likes of Netflix, Disney+, AT&T's HBO Max, Apple TV+, Hulu and others.
NBCUniversal is taking tepid steps into the streaming wars with the launch of Peacock. The company stands to make less revenue-per-user from the service compared to what it generates from selling its products to cable networks.
"We hope in the next four or five years to get to the kind of [ARPU]...that some other platforms are getting today," Roberts said. "So I think we've given ourselves a long runway to scale up, take back some of the content that's on other platforms, make some original content, engage with customers."
Comcast plans to launch a joint news channel with NBC News and Sky News, called NBC Sky World News, on Peacock, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
