2004 Outlook:

• For 2004, Cox expects revenue to increase by 11.5% to 12.5% over 2003, consistent with previously stated guidance.
• Operating cash flow is expected to increase by 14% to 15% over 2003.*

*Operating cash flow growth will be at the low end of the previously stated range of 14% to 15% as a result of the costs associated with the Florida hurricanes and the accrual related to the adverse verdict, each described in "Recent Events" section of Cox's earnings report. Without the occurrence of these two events, Cox would expect to end the year at the high end of the 14% to 15% operating cash flow growth range.

• Capital expenditures for 2004 are expected to be approximately $1.4 billion.
• Basic video customer growth over 2003 has been reduced to approximately 0.3% from the previously stated guidance of just under 1.0% growth.
   
• Advanced-service RGU net additions are expected to be between 1.1 and 1.2 million, an increase in previously stated guidance of 1.0 to 1.1 million.
• Cox expects to be free cash flow positive for the full year 2004.
