CEO Mike Fries stated, "Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to effectively navigate through these unprecedented times. Our core focus will always be on ensuring the health and safety of our employees, while delivering an unparalleled connectivity experience for our customers. On that front, our fiber-rich networks continue to perform extremely well despite the surge in usage over the last several months. We understand the importance of seamless connectivity and strive to deliver the best possible products and services to our customers.

Customer satisfaction, as measured by net promoter scores, has been at record highs across the majority of our footprint, which translated into our best net customer and broadband additions since Q3 2017. This result was led by a strong performance at Virgin Media, where we added 24,000 customers, our best Q2 result in four years. Fixed-mobile convergence ("FMC") continues to drive good mobile growth with over 100,000 post-paid additions, and FMC penetrations reaching 23%, 46% and 22% at Virgin Media, Telenet and UPC Switzerland, respectively.

We are making great progress with pre-merger planning for our announced combination of Virgin Media and O2 U.K., and are working closely with the European Commission and U.K. regulators to ensure a smooth review of the transaction.

With respect to our financials, Q2 revenue declined by 4% year-over-year and was impacted by approximately $110 million in generally low margin COVID-19 related impacts. As such, our Adjusted EBITDA performance was resilient, ending the quarter effectively flat compared to the prior-year period. And with a continued decline in our capital intensity, we delivered 14% rebased2 OFCF growth year-over-year.

Despite uncertainty regarding the medium-term impact from the COVID-19 crisis, we are reaffirming all of our original full-year guidance metrics. From a balance sheet perspective, we have refinanced over $10 billion of long-term debt YTD, extended our average tenor3 to over 7 years and lowered our fully-swapped borrowing cost to 4.0% for the Full Company4. As such, our balance sheet remains in great shape with $9.8 billion of total liquidity5 for the Full Company, including $7.4 billion in cash6. During Q2 we remained active on share buybacks, upping our total repurchases to over $750 million spent from mid-February through July."
