FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 5, 2014
THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH EARNINGS FOR FISCAL 2014

BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported third quarter earnings, which are a record for any quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter increased 27% to $1.28 from $1.01 in the prior-year quarter. Excluding certain items affecting comparability(1), EPS for the quarter increased 24% to $1.28 from $1.03 in the prior-year quarter. Diluted EPS for the nine months ended June 28, 2014 increased 30% to $3.40 compared to $2.61 in the prior-year period. Excluding certain items affecting comparability, EPS for the nine months increased 31% to $3.43.

“Our strategy of building strong brands and franchises continues to create great value across our company,” said Robert A. Iger, chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company.  “This quarter we delivered the highest EPS in the company’s history, and we’ve now generated greater EPS in the first three quarters of FY 2014 than we have in any previous full fiscal year.  We’re extremely pleased with these results and we are also thrilled with the spectacular performance of Guardians of the Galaxy, which holds great promise as a new franchise for our company and once again reinforces the tremendous value of Marvel.”

Cable Networks
Operating income at Cable Networks decreased 7% to $1.9 billion for the quarter due to a decrease at ESPN, partially offset by an increase at ABC Family. The decrease at ESPN was due to higher programming and production costs, decreased recognition of previously deferred revenue and the absence of ESPN UK, which was sold in the fourth quarter of the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by affiliate fee contractual rate increases and higher advertising revenue. Programming and production costs increases were driven by a contractual rate increase for Major League Baseball and the addition of FIFA World Cup soccer, partially offset by the absence of X Games events in the current quarter. ESPN recognized $98 million less of previously deferred revenue during the quarter as a result of changes in contractual provisions related to annual programming commitments. ESPN advertising revenue increased due to higher rates and more units sold. Higher rates reflected the benefit of FIFA World Cup soccer in the current quarter, partially offset by two less NBA finals games this year. The increase at ABC Family was driven by lower programming costs, reflecting fewer hours of original scripted programming due to the timing of premieres, and higher affiliate fees due to rate increases.
Broadcasting
Operating income at Broadcasting increased 66% to $354 million for the quarter due to an increase in affiliate fees and higher income from program sales. The increase in affiliate revenues was due to contractual rate increases and new contractual provisions. Increased operating income from program sales was driven by a lower average expense amortization rate and higher revenues led by Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.



Parks and Resorts
Parks and Resorts revenues for the quarter increased 8% to $4.0 billion and segment operating income increased 23% to $848 million. Operating income growth for the quarter was driven by an increase at our domestic operations, partially offset by a decrease at Disneyland Paris. Parks and Resorts results include a favorable impact due to a shift in the timing of the Easter holiday relative to our fiscal periods.
Higher operating income at our domestic operations was due to increased guest spending and higher attendance, partially offset by higher costs. Guest spending growth reflected higher average ticket prices for admissions at our theme parks and for sailings at our cruise line and increased food, beverage and merchandise spending. Higher costs were driven by MyMagic+ and labor and other cost inflation, partially offset by lower pension and postretirement medical costs.
The decrease in operating income at Disneyland Paris was due to higher operating costs, decreased attendance and occupied room nights and lower special event revenue, partially offset by higher average ticket prices.



3



Studio Entertainment
Studio Entertainment revenues for the quarter increased 14% to $1.8 billion and segment operating income increased to $411 million from $201 million. Higher operating income was due to increases in worldwide home entertainment and international theatrical distribution, partially offset by a decrease in domestic theatrical distribution.
The increase in worldwide home entertainment was driven by lower per unit costs, higher net effective pricing and unit sales growth reflecting the success of Frozen.
Higher international theatrical distribution results reflected the performance of Frozen, Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier and Maleficent in the current quarter compared to Iron Man 3, Wreck-It-Ralph, Oz The Great and Powerful and Monsters University in the prior-year quarter.
Lower results in domestic theatrical distribution were due to the success of Iron Man 3 and Monsters University in the prior-year quarter compared to Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier, Maleficent and Million Dollar Arm in the current quarter.



Consumer Products
Consumer Products revenues for the quarter increased 16% to $902 million and segment operating income increased 25% to $273 million. Higher operating income was due to increases at our Retail and Merchandise Licensing businesses.
At our Retail business, higher operating income for the quarter was driven by comparable store sales growth in all of our key markets.
The increase in operating income at Merchandise Licensing was due to the performance of merchandise based on Frozen, Disney Channel properties, Spider-Man and Planes partially offset by lower Monsters University revenue. Additionally, Merchandise Licensing results benefited from lower acquisition accounting impacts, which reduced revenue recognition in the prior-year quarter. These increases were partially offset by higher third-party royalties.



Interactive
Interactive revenues for the quarter increased 45% to $266 million and segment operating results improved from a loss of $58 million to income of $29 million. Improved results were due to strong game sales growth, lower product development costs and higher licensing fees from our mobile phone business in Japan. The increase in game sales was driven by Disney Infinity, which was released in the fourth quarter of the prior year, and the success of the Tsum Tsum and Frozen Free Fall mobile games. The decrease in product development costs was due to fewer titles in development and the benefit of restructuring activities.

Cash provided by operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was comparable to the first nine months of fiscal 2013 at $6.7 billion. The benefit from higher segment operating results was offset by higher television programming and production spending, increased income tax payments and a larger build in receivables at Studio Entertainment and Media Networks. The increase in receivables at Studio Entertainment was driven by higher revenues due to Frozen while the increase at Media Networks was due to the timing of collections.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release presents EPS excluding the impact of certain items affecting comparability, free cash flow and aggregate segment operating income, all of which are important financial measures for the Company, but are not financial measures defined by GAAP.
These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of EPS, cash flow or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. EPS excluding certain items affecting comparability, free cash flow and aggregate segment operating income as we have calculated them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
EPS excluding certain items affecting comparability – The Company uses EPS excluding certain items to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items affecting comparability of results from period to period. The Company believes that information about EPS exclusive of these impacts is useful to investors, particularly where the impact of the excluded items is significant in relation to reported earnings, because the measure allows for comparability between periods of the operating performance of the Company’s business and allows investors to evaluate the impact of these items separately from the impact of the operations of the business.

Significant items in the current nine-month period include a loss from Venezuelan foreign currency translation ($143 million pre-tax and before noncontrolling interest), a gain on the sale of property ($77 million pre-tax) and income related to a portion of a settlement of an affiliate contract dispute ($29 million pre-tax). Significant items in the prior-year nine-month period include the Celador litigation charge ($321 million pre-tax) and a gain on the sale of our interest in ESPN STAR Sports ($219 million pre-tax and before noncontrolling interest).
(5) 
May not equal the sum of the rows due to rounding.

Free cash flow – The Company uses free cash flow (cash provided by operations less investments in parks, resorts and other property), among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than capital expenditures. Management believes that information about free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments and pay dividends or repurchase shares.
Aggregate segment operating income – The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment operating income, and management uses aggregate segment operating income as a measure of the performance of operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. The Company believes that information about aggregate segment operating income assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing separate insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results.
