Perspectives on the Filmed Entertainment Industry 2012
BMO Capital Markets
Executive Summary
Mission not impossible and there is no ghost in the entertainment industry paradigm for investors to be looking for! Certainly, the maze may have become three-dimensional over the
past few years relative to content creators, content distributors, and content users, but there
should be no doubt that there is more demand globally for filmed entertainment and more
dollars for content owners.
The industry is maneuvering through the dynamics of digitally driven technology portals and
aggregators as well as demographically driven consumer preferences that continue to show
healthy spending patterns for most platforms. The deep recessionary forces affecting families
and businesses the past few years have not curtailed demand for film entertainment content
despite some meaningful shifts in platform preferences and utilization. Perhaps even more
relevant is the acceleration in global demand as new technology devices provide much improved touch points and price value points with moderate capital investment to gain size and
scale. We are not seeing the world strung with co-axial cable; rather, more money is going to
marketing. Although not every business line is immune, we view the industry as resilient, especially as measurable globalization of filmed entertainment content is incorporated into
company financial and investor expectations.
Worldwide consumer demand for filmed entertainment shows resilience as content and
distribution platforms are leveraged into the digital world. Domestic consumer spending on
filmed entertainment at the retail level was up 3.1% this past year. Pressure in the home video
segment is moderating as consumers integrate new touch points in their spending patterns to
enhance consumption. Consumer-driven revenues have grown at a 5.8% compounded annual
rate since 2000, and the international revenue for studios for US product has grown at an estimated double-digit pace over the same period. Emerging markets with developing middle
classes (India, China, and Latin America in particular), new applied technologies, and an expanding price-point spectrum are helping grow revenues in the US and international markets.
The last five years have been heavily weighted toward increasing consumer choice and convenience, while providing content access at varying price points. This is likely to continue as a very
important trend and revenue driver for content creators and distribution platforms over the years
to come.
The application of digital technology to consumer filmed entertainment consumption is an
important investment theme over the next few years. The availability and utilization of
DVRs, IP streaming, high-speed Internet access, high-definition television (HDTV), electronic
sell-through (EST), and digital projectors/3D in theaters can meaningfully change revenue
streams, which may dislocate, disintermediate, or enhance existing revenue models and cost
structures. The cycles of applied technology for consumer media access shrank from 5-10 years
to 15-20 months over the past five years, creating significant opportunity to leverage captive
televisions and film libraries and creative resources. More importantly, it is expanding the revenue pie for content and engaging new generations of avid consumers of film content, even if on a
mobile or tablet device. Significant capital investment in distribution pipelines, such as the current investment by telecoms in fiber as a means to capture the business of cable or satellite markets, needs to be carefully weighed as some dislocation is likely to be a factor over the next five
years. The same is true for content acquisition. Investors need to carefully evaluate the buy side

of mid- to long term rights deals in assessing the financial dynamics and commitments impact on
profitability over years. Portability of content is next on the horizon for consumer spending, in
our view, but solving the digital rights management (DRM) issues is certainly the gating factor
that copyright creators and owners must work through to maximize the monetization of consumer demand. Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem’s (DECE) UltraViolet and Disney’s
Keychest may be key gateways for consumers to “buy” the digital rights to content that will enable playback anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
Disintermediation is arriving, but new content aggregators are creating meaningful revenue streams for content providers on every consumer touch point along the distribution
chain. The digital urban myth that film content is free (absent piracy) is deconstructing measura-
bly as new and ambitious purveyors of film content master the interface to the new media consumer. The imaginative sense that a content aggregator, be it one with millions of members, subscribers, unique visitors, etc., can power down a major filmed entertainment studio from
collecting licensing fees or “tolls” is laughable if not naïve, especially within the studio controlled content kingdom. Clearly, windows are evolving, and insiders, outsiders, and investors
are hyper-focused on dollars and cents per use. It is our perspective and investment conviction
that over a few short years, the digital revolution will prove an economic and financial benefit for
most of those that possess production expertise and significant libraries.
Not all distribution windows will be commoditized as is the conventional wisdom. Content
owners will increasingly keep a larger or more diversified proportion of the global revenues their
film product creates, whether it comes from pay, subscription, or advertising supported distribution portals. There is just no necessity, financial or otherwise, or leverage that would compel a
major producer to take a low dollar number (i.e., Starz vs. Netflix). Market fragmentation and
technology limitations, such as download speeds, connectivity to a HDTV monitor and sound
system, security, DRM limitations, 3D, and privacy, are going to keep the ubiquitous adoption at
a measured pace. The clouds are coming, the stop watch has started, and it is not all going to be
solved for investors in 2012.
Equity valuations, which troughed in late 2008 and early 2009 out of fear that owning content was passé or “old school” (i.e., relatively little value), are now incorporating more of
the digital delivery opportunity in financials and long-term economics than the “old media”
tug-o-war of the past few years. While the market has seen a significant rebound, the major entertainment conglomerates continue to trade at modest multiples. The average price/earnings
multiple of the four major entertainment conglomerates is 12.8x based on 2012 estimates and
10.9x based on 2013 estimates, while the S&P 500 is trading at an estimated 11.8x in 2013, not
that most investors use this as their key or primary valuation metric. On an EV/EBITDA basis,
the conglomerates are trading at an average of 8.0x and 7.4x, respectively, for 2012 and 2013,
versus the ten-year average of 9.8x. These multiples are near the low end of the range seen in the
1980s, which even then was not the valuation metric used for anyone in the entertainment group
except Disney. With earnings momentum visible, upside from new distribution portals rising,
and more efficiently designed operating structures, we believe the group has above-average upside valuation potential.
Worldwide piracy issues, the down and dark side of the digital world, are at center stage
for most owners and distributors of content and are a rationale for holding back content availability (and making short-term revenue deals) for a variety of distribution platforms. Given the high

probability that more than $7 billion of pirated US-created content sells globally on an annual basis, constricting that slippage, either through some level of payment or restriction of access, is
critical on all levels of the commercial and political spectrums.
Advertising-denominated business segments have turned into valuation drivers. Televi-
sion advertising has rebounded from as much as 30% CPM declines in most of 2009 to an increase of 11.3% in 2011-2012, while primetime network advertising dollars are now up double
digits in the 2012 period for many broadcast and cable network providers. The scatter market has
been very robust in the 2011-2012 timeframe and appears to be vibrant across the board, especially as autos and financials, two sectors that were AWOL from late 2008 to early 2010, are
back in force, enabling double-digit-plus pricing on scatter inventory for primetime and broadcast TV thus far in 2012. Another positive variable in 2012 will be political advertising as we
approach the presidential election in November. The television and cable network upfront market
from May to June 2012 will likely create the annual showdown on CPMs and volume, which the
big four broadcast networks and 12-15 cable networks successfully leveraged last year. The trend
to us looks as though the upfront “event” will continue to garner big headlines that have an increasingly lower correlation to the revenue generating capability of primetime television.
Digital Media is complementing existing revenue streams and is less competitive or
threatening than conventional thinking has publicized the past few years. Content remains
king (cash is queen), and consumers appear willing to spend more dollars for convenience and
choice in owning or renting. If anything, the new toys (devices) and portals are creating, not replacing, demand for film/television content as evidenced by hundreds of million of TV episode
downloads annually at $0.79-$1.99 each. The beauty of most digital platforms is that they are not
incrementally capital intensive, which keeps programming accessible to mass market demos in a
relatively short amount of time. The potential next wave (there always is one!) is likely to see
new media, with its much higher valuation multiples, and traditional media coming together.
We maintain our OUTPERFORM sector rating for the media/entertainment industry over
the next 9-15 months. We believe the major industry participants have shown and should con-
tinue to show improving ROA, ROE, and ROIC, complemented by growing cash balances and
free cash flow. Highly rational capital allocation strategies, when coupled with realized EPS
growth, set the stage for improved public valuations or for further consolidation.

Industry Overview
The filmed entertainment industry is coming out the backside of the recession with more earnings power, cleaner balance sheets, more consumers accessing more content, and significantly
higher free cash flows and ROIC. Hopefully that final story on how the entertainment industry
is not recession resistant has been blogged, broadcast, or printed, because the stocks, for the
most part, did not see the downside seen by most other consumer discretionary stocks. We
doubt that there was an investor in entertainment equities who did not worry about television
advertising, DVD sales, foreign exchange and world geopolitical events. The investment dynamic is that the impact of these variables is short term, while consumer demand for filmed
entertainment remains fairly constant.
The following charts reveal the returns experienced by many investors in entertainmentrelated equities last year and in 2012 to date.

While public equity valuations relative to the market historically may have little correlation to
the current investment world view, we do not find the group valued ahead of the companies'
earnings power or predictive growth rates. Over the intermediate to long term, investors are
likely to integrate the following factors in their valuation matrix: 1) private market valuations
(PMV) based on transactions that have consistently proven to be higher than public equity
multiples for the major conglomerates (NBC-Universal/Comcast at a double-digit
EV/EBITDA multiple last year validates this once again); 2) industry growth at the consumer
level has exceeded that for most every other consumer sector and meaningful opportunities
remain globally for the remainder of the decade, which is an important macro backdrop for
long-term valuations; 3) shifts to digital access of entertainment content are becoming complementary rather than competitive and ultimately saving significant distribution costs (35
mm film, DVD/BD manufacturing, etc.); 4) consumers worldwide have had an insatiable appetite for entertainment content and seem willing to devote increasing amounts of their discretionary spending for more convenience and choice in the daily consumption of filmed entertainment; and 5) the major entertainment conglomerates generate significant free cash flows, a
value driver if utilized correctly, as most are. If public valuation multiples remain somewhat
depressed relative to growth rates and PMVs, we expect decapitalization to grow as a use of
free cash flow, and if not, we expect a new round of ownership/control changes over the next
year or two.
The effort to restructure and realign the entertainment portfolio asset mix is working, resulting
in stronger balance sheets (thankfully not an investment issue this year) and better ROIC in a
less cluttered portfolio. The challenge of allocating capital to supply-side and demand-side
businesses appears to be more rational as the major media conglomerates create value in their
core businesses. Consumers are clearly willing to buy the new and emerging distribution
pipes and platforms, which create enormous opportunity for those who engage, create, and

control content in an innovative fashion. We do not characterize the success quotient as high
relative to every new media opportunity, but neither do we see excessive capital spent to have
a presence and believe significant integration and innovation is being accumulated along the
learning curve, especially as profitable revenue generation becomes a more visible goal of the
major entertainment players. The “Quasars” (who we will not name in order to protect the innocent and who perhaps lost some of the shine from their sparkle this year!) will always be a
factor, and investors will need to be vigilant to discern who pays, who plays, and who stays.
Monetizing portals appears to be a quite separate occurrence, which should lead investors to
slightly more ambivalence rather than polar love and hate when a “newbie” is found…and
then lost, sometimes the half life being too short.
Investors looking at entertainment equities are facing a new host of opportunities and challenges as the digital world races at an unstoppable pace into home and leisure-time activities
of an increasingly consumptive and convenience-driven global community. At the same time,
the major conglomerates have been rationalizing their investment portfolios and continue to
shed businesses that are now less valuable to the next generation of opportunities. The growth
characteristics that complement the core businesses are changing, and we sense most of the
majors are becoming better at being change agents. That is not to say all of the equity investments are smooth, easy, and immediately accretive acquisitions.
The entertainment industry is facing massive and potentially positive change as the nextgeneration technologies such as DVRs, VOD-finally, next-generation broadband, 3D formatted digital cinema, streaming, downloading, Blu-Ray, and HD and 3D TV grow in penetration
and utilization. Business model differentiation is becoming much more diffuse relative to
revenue generation be it via subscriber, advertiser, or a la carte, and in many cases now, all of
the above. This will be an important element in generating positive change in investor sentiment, in our opinion. No longer is new media solely seen as a competitor to traditional content film and television creation and hence a threat to either the entire business model or equity valuation. Investors are beginning to see it as a complementary revenue source that can
grow into a substantial profit contributor over the next five years as creative content invades
digital distribution portals via new windows. The corollary will be the enabling of extended
digital rights, so that a consumer views his or her purchase/investment in content as utilitarian
across multiple platforms: TV, computer, game stations, mobile, and tablets, for example.
The simple definitions of hardware and software have evolved into the new world complexities of content and distribution. It is now a three-dimensional world as analog has transformed
into digital and should migrate to 3D on many consumer electronic devices. The near- and
long-term valuation drivers for the major entertainment conglomerate stocks will be the ability to continue to create superior film and television content and leverage that content on a
growing array of platforms for a worldwide audience. Creative resources and production expertise will need to keep pace with the dynamics of consumption that demands portability.
Digital Rights Management will capture significant management capital to master and
monetize in a manner that can both protect privacy and provide portability. The initial conceptualization of Disney’s Keychest or DECE’s UltraViolet (virtual library in the sky) is a onestop store-and-retrieve mechanism for digital content on multiple platforms. These options
will play broadly over the next few years and will certainly take a very visible role in the digital distribution/consumer end game.

The economy weighed far less on investor sentiment in the filmed entertainment sector in
2011. Advertising (local, recession, displacement, fragmentation, etc.) rebounded beyond expectations and has sustained that plateau, if not indexing meaningfully ahead of 2010. Cable
journeyed through the valley of advertising despond in 2008-2009 relatively unscathed and is
now the darling of corporate and investor sentiment. The 2011 upfront saw high-single- to
low-double-digit increases on inventory sales at 80% sell-out rates for broadcasters and 50%60% for the major cable networks. Scatter advertising has been healthy with use up 10%-15%
as the benchmark so far in the 2011-2012 television season. We see continuing resiliency in
broadcast and cable network ad rates through the remainder of 2012. Ad rate gains from a
stronger economy and the return of the dynamic duo (autos and financials), as well as telecom
and consumer discretionary companies, certainly helped earnings and stock valuations, especially when enhanced by the “leave no dollar unspent” political environment as we approach
2012 national elections.
The DVR, which created time-shift viewing with the capability of fast-forwarding through the
commercial elements of the recorded shows, has created only a modest decline in program
viewing (less than 4% in a Live +3 world). That said, no one from the TV network side stops
arguing that viewership is under-measured demographically. There is still a perception that
some viewership is not being paid for as some recorded shows are watched outside the threeday boundary, but we see little chance of broadcasters recouping dollars on this variable anytime soon. This contentious debate ignores the current practices relative to viewership of
commercials on live broadcast television, as some level of channel surfing already diminishes
the level of commercial viewing. The valuation curve has become much more sensitive to advertising over the past year given the asset mix of the four major entertainment conglomerates
and has resulted in the drive to trade based on the economic fluctuations and headlines on
Wall Street.
VOD is finally gaining traction beyond events such as sports and concerts as consumers have
pushed the buy button 25% more this past year. Increasingly, the convenience, HD quality,
closure of many rentailers, delays in subscription availability, and broader studio offerings are
enticing the push-button option. Click-to-stream will gain more visibility in 2012-2013 as
nonlinear programmers gain subscribers. The downside/thorn in the side is likely to be gigabyte caps on streaming usage put in place by cable/telco high-speed data providers. It is not
difficult to vaporize the assumed value of a sub-$10 subscription when the cable bill arrives
with an incremental $10-$50 usage charge! The major providers are moving rapidly to this
metric.
Consumer demand for filmed entertainment product remains relatively healthy as new distribution platforms extend the shelf life of filmed entertainment and expand the revenue cycles
for content on a variety of formats. Those who have voiced a view that film library values
have meaningfully diminished are finding that new content aggregators are paying significant
dollars for library product. To wit, the EPIX-Netflix deal provides $960 million over five
years. Clearly the adoption of iCasting, streaming, downloadables, HDTV, digital 3D, etc.,
via subscription or a la carte, is setting the stage for a new round of growth that, for the most
part, extends the profit generating capability of content.
What is rising significantly are digital revenues ($3.4 billion in 2011 according to the Digital
Entertainment Group-DEG), replacing a large portion of packaged sell-through revenues. We

urge investors to look at the annual transaction levels of the video rental business rather than
simply the aggregate dollars to judge the industry’s health, as this compensates for the depressed rental figures that reflect the increased use subscriptions and a $1 rental at a kiosk
rather than a $4 rental at Blockbuster. The beauty of the filmed entertainment business has
been that successive distribution platforms have typically not materially cannibalized existing
revenue streams while providing incremental revenues and profitability. Rather, they have
enlarged the economic pie, a factor the market tends to overlook at times as headlines often
create the impression that new distribution platforms are part of a zero-sum equation.
The never-ending cost battles for both film and television production are legendary, and accounting for them leaves all involved in the creative process bewildered or litigious…or both.
Worldwide dollars for films in theatrical and home video generate, in the aggregate, significant revenues (over $65 billion annually). Conversely, the use of computer generated imagery
(CGI) and other special effects, talent participations, 3D production and post production costs,
and the ever-increasing need to spend on advertising and promotion, consistently put upward
pressure on total film business costs, which include film negative costs as well as film print
and advertising spending. The major studios continue to act in a schizophrenic manner at
times, allocating less corporate capital to total film production budgets, while spending more
dollars on event films, which are now at the $200-$300 million direct negative cost level before participations are included. In the previous decade, off-balance sheet dollars from film
development vehicles such as joint ventures, partnerships, or structured finance entities picked
up the differential between studio capital and production/distribution expenses. Those dollars
are, for the most part, gone as original investment funds have been cycled through. The new
money is coming from short cycle P&A, which can round-trip investment dollars in three to
six months, some production dollars were picked up in 2011 by certain banks and private investors.
The reality of the business is that the ultra-high budget film has often shown less risk on a
global basis than a mid-budget film ($50-$80 million in direct negative costs) as headline talent and promotional dollars create, capture, or capitalize on consumer interest. Content creation costs, including participations, rarely go down over any multi-year period, especially
when the rationale embraced by industry executives is that new revenue streams from emerging distribution platforms and global demand will cover rising production costs. The buyers
certainly went through the last decade with too many production dollars chasing a limited talent pool, never a helpful cycle for film costs. Producing a lower number of films the past few
years has helped ease the capital demand (in human and dollar terms), but we sense the production declines have now bottomed out with Spielberg, Relativity, MGM, and others creating more films for 2012/2013.
Many of the emerging technologies and platforms (e.g., VOD, iCasting, mobile video from
pad or phone, digital cinema/3D, HDTV, and Blu-Ray) are now gaining revenue/sales traction, albeit off a small base for most of them, and adoption cycles will likely push further
revenue gains in 2012-2013. The advantage of the next generation is that the contributions are
incremental, mostly high margin (30%-70%), and are growing from their current moderate
revenue levels. We remain confident that the new platforms will expand the overall economic
rewards for content owners, albeit creating angst with some inevitable displacement, which
should further improve the financial profile of the business for the major media conglomerates, many of whom own both content and a variety of end-point distribution channels. One of

the greatest benefits of the evolution away from physical distribution, aside from manufacturing and distribution costs, is the diminishing role of the middle-man aggregator. Direct consumer sell points are arriving and picking up momentum among consumers.
In addition, the television production business has become a growth engine once again, but
the locomotive driving its resurgence is original programming on premium cable networks
such as HBO and general purpose channels such as TNT, USA, and AMC. Although the
macro television industry environment is fairly stable on a global basis, changes to established
distribution platforms, such as broadcast television retransmission fees (hundreds of millions
of dollars annually to each of the major broadcast networks), and franchises such as primetime television network market share erosion under a new commercial ratings system, are new
realities in the economic and financial equation. Maximizing core revenue streams from both
cyclical and emerging sources will be an important opportunity for all the major conglomerates in 2012 and beyond. We are not as concerned about displacement (Will DVD sellthrough and VOD put video “rentailers” out of business? Will streaming replace buying?) as
we are about margin compression as talent (producer, writer, actor) demands a greater percentage of the economic benefits, thus reducing overall profits as partners who reduce risk
also reduce profits.
Thankfully, three of the key guilds negotiated and approved new contracts meaningfully
ahead of their mid-2011 expirations. This eliminates the labor pool risk until 2014. At that
point, the digital impact and benefit will be much better defined. It is too early to handicap
this variable.
The major entertainment conglomerates are now traveling very individualized valuation patterns. Exhibit 3 outlines the stock performance of the major entertainment and related equities
from 2007 to 2012E compared with their annual earnings growth. Our observation is that the
perception of the future, be it positive or negative, has a higher correlation than short-term
earnings. The valuation pendulum had swung much more negatively for most companies, a
factor that just appears to be unwinding, which we think leads to multiple expansion.

The major entertainment conglomerates have significantly increased share repurchases in the
past year or so, as earnings power has been converted into free cash flow, balance sheet leverage has gone to optimally low levels, and the capital allocation process has become a corporate priority and positive valuation driver.

Industry Overview: Trends and Perspectives

The following exhibit outlines many of the industry related transactions over the past ten
years. The only domestic deal over the past 12 months was the Comcast/NBC Universal
transaction consummated early last year valued at $27.5 billion carried an implied
EV/EBITDA of 10.2x 2010E EBITDA of $2.95 billion. We believe this once again validates the attractiveness of the major entertainment equities that are trading at a 10%-25%
discount to that multiple. While we recognize that PMV is only one part of the valuation
equation, we believe current EV/EBITDA levels could lead to a revival of the private equity or equity swap-driven transactions in 2012-2013. Currency swings may also drive
the M&A activity level over the next few years as international buyers and sellers enter
the global entertainment industry.

The growth quotient for the filmed entertainment industry has been built on 1) creative
successes that are inherently cyclical although not necessarily economically sensitive; 2)
new distribution platforms that have created new touch points and convenience for consumers in addition to shifting consumer dollars; and 3) global consumption that has been
rising as major new middle classes emerge. Worldwide penetration of film delivery systems is moving to center stage as global demand for filmed entertainment product,
whether theatrical, television, cable networks, or home video, accelerates through the
emergence of “middle class” economies in relatively untapped markets such as China,
India, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Domestically, we expect the digital delivery
platforms such as streaming, downloading, MOD (manufacturing on demand), and VOD
to provide a growing source of revenue for fully amortized product. The opportunity to

monetize filmed entertainment assets in the international markets should also grow in
importance and impact from both a perceptual and financial perspective.

Building, protecting, and internalizing core revenue streams in the maturing sectors of
the business are operating imperatives. This priority has led to acquisitions to achieve
proprietary pipelines, increase utilization, channeling advertising dollars through owned
and operated distribution platforms, and the creation and purchase of content from inhouse divisions. In that process, significant capital investment was made in assets that
now appear to create less synergy or lower-than-expected ROIC than was previously experienced or expected. In either case, it is our belief that most of the major media conglomerates will continue to sell less beneficial businesses that do not fit strategically or
financially.

Valuation multiples remain attractive versus five or ten years ago averages for most of
the entertainment equities suggesting that an interesting dynamic is building. Growing
earnings and free cash flow with modest valuations (PE, EV/EBITDA, etc.) usually leads
to companies buying themselves or others. Alternatively, sector rotation or investor class
rotation likely brings new money to the equities. It appears that with forecasted doubledigit EPS growth rates continuing in the out years, both growth and value investors’ investment styles should find these stocks attractive. Exhibit 7 details the comparative
valuations of the major industry participants within our coverage universe.


Virtual integration (controlling consumer spending in fee-based transactions and advertising-denominated delivery models on a global basis) is replacing vertical integration
(sports teams, music, book publishing, satellite, cable systems, etc.). This appears to be
leading to higher returns on invested capital and better returns on assets, which potentially set the stage for higher valuation multiples over time.

Investors appear to be scrutinizing debt variables and ratios at a much more visible pace,
even since the debt crisis-freeze. Bank debt is clearly being reduced, and the current historically low rate environment has provided a great opportunity to move out maturities at
very attractive rates in their capital structures.

Accounting for film partners and ventures will become a greater target for regulators and
investors. As companies rationalize their asset bases, we expect to see intersegment items
diminish in size and scope. The next step in the JV-hedge-partnership will likely lead to

the buy-in of film partner stakes after first cycle revenues and contributions have played
out. Every one of the majors has one or more film finance vehicles. Investors should
simply look at this as buying cash flow at a discount. This is probably a 2012-2013 series
of events.

The revenue base in the home video sector on both domestic and international distribution portals has lost traction for both secular and cyclical rationale, despite packaged media transitions in the Blu-Ray format and EST (electronic sell-through) picking up momentum. Overall, spending has come down for packaged media. $1 rentals at Redbox
replacing $4 rentals at Blockbuster do not reveal lower demand, although most of the
pain resides outside the studios.

The digital world has created its own set of urban myths, perhaps the most imaginative
relates to the thought that film and television content is available at no cost. No one
watches for free, pirates aside, despite the widespread commentary to the contrary.
Clearly, consumers are expanding their portal preferences, but few have abandoned the
HDTV for a 3”-4” screen or even the 17”-24” monitor. Cord-cutting? Probably some
(less than 1%), but most of that has been in that demographic that hasn’t stopped watching film or television programming and perhaps has not been counted for Nielsen ratings
purposes anyway! A major nonlinear aggregator accessing more content to deliver over a
new portal is paying for that content, even if the consumer is not currently.

Film production levels by the majors probably bottomed in 2010-2011 and the next directional move is up as we look at the release schedules for 2012, especially as DreamWorks (Spielberg), MGM, Relativity, and others start pumping more films into the theatrical pipeline. This is good for exhibitors such as AMC, Carmike, Cinemark, and Regal
that can operate fixed-cost facilities with higher utilization levels. Exhibitors have withstood the decline in production very well. This will make the key summer and holiday
distribution windows slightly more competitive.

Most companies are going to face pension liabilities of a greater magnitude in the future.
Exhibit 8 details the underfunding and assumed returns/discount levels and sensitivity to
the discount rate changes for the majors (data collected from most recent 10-K filings).
Expect more “catch-up” in 2012.

Eight Focal Points for Investors
We have identified eight key elements that we believe should continue drive the equity valuation of the major filmed entertainment conglomerates over the next year or two: 1) healthy
consumer demand for filmed entertainment; 2) an expanding global marketplace; 3) stabilizing studio economics; 4) complex and opaque accounting; 5) modest economic dislocation
and disintermediation from technology and piracy; 6) 3D as the next revenue growth driver;
7) the arriving connected world; and 8) the advertising environment.
These factors should serve as a template as individual company operating fundamentals and
upside-downside catalysts and risks are assessed. This is an industry with substantial operational risk as creative cycles are at times unpredictable (positive and negative) and typically
lead to meaningful stock price swings. That being said, it is also an industry that creates film
products that have revenue half-lives of decades and have increasingly lucrative revenue
streams being created for its captive libraries. We believe the investment decision-making
process is enhanced when the intellectual and financial framework of these factors are integrated into both investor sentiment and market action.
1) Consumer Demand for Filmed Entertainment
Worldwide consumer demand for filmed entertainment has been relatively healthy for the past
three decades. The emergence of new distribution platforms, especially as they are deployed
around the globe, has been a major driver of consumer demand and growth along side of the
emerging classes in developing or recently emancipated countries. The filmed entertainment
industry has significantly outpaced the overall economy and most other consumer segments
over the past 12 years, growing at an estimated compounded annual rate of 5.8%, even staying positive in the recent economic turmoil. It has become the second-leading dollar export
for the US economy behind Aerospace and Defense and one of only a few industries with
consistently positive balance of trade characteristics. Worldwide, consumers are given an
ever-growing array of choices (how and where they want to enjoy filmed entertainment), convenience (when they want it), and an array of price points for accessing filmed entertainment.
We believe this will continue to be at the heart of long-term industry growth. True enough,
the growth rate slows at times, but it has performed better than most of its consumer discretionary peers.

We expect consumer spending on filmed entertainment to continue to outpace the general
economy (normalized) and remain favorable throughout the next few years, although various
revenue portal contributions are likely to shift dollar contributions around for content creators.
The BD/DVD phenomena may have played out in terms of captive libraries and profitless
transactions by mass merchants seeking to drive foot traffic, but it is still the largest contributor to the filmed entertainment revenue pie at close to 40% of an individual film’s revenue
mix. For most of the major content providers, home video inventories and film ultimates have
been right sized. Film budgets and profit projections have now been designed around lowered
expectations for packaged media. The adoption of digital delivery (e.g., cable, DBS, iTunes,
FIOS, Netflix, etc), ubiquity of Internet access, revitalization of the home entertainment center equipped with HDTV and sophisticated sound systems, emergence of new portals, and
consumer utilization of traditional delivery platforms such as movie theaters and broadcast
television should all set a positive tone to revenue visibility over the next few years. The pie
gets bigger. The industry is not simply in a zero-sum game as some observers would suggest.
Exhibit 10 outlines consumer spending over the variety of distribution platforms over the past
12 years.

In 2011, we estimate that domestic consumers spent 3.1% more on filmed entertainment consumption than in 2010 and 85.1% more than what was spent in 2000. This was primarily driven
by growth in cable and new digital delivery systems. We expect 2012 to show gains in the lowto mid-single-digit percent range, once again likely outpacing GDP as digitally driven and connected platforms pick up significant traction. Home video in its one-dimensional life of packaged media will continue to show less revenue, although the rate of decline should drop.
The entertainment conglomerate focus remains on controlling consumer dollars in as many
subscription fee-based (cable, cable networks), transaction-oriented (theatrical, home video in
its multi dimensional configurations), licensing rich (interactive games, bundling film libraries, new nonlinear aggregators, merchandise, product placement), and advertising denominated businesses as possible. The virtual-digital world is in the early stages of monetization,
but will be incrementally positive, especially given its low CAPEX and aggregated costs to
penetrate. This is the new economic model: virtual integration, replacing the far lower ROIC
generated by vertical integration that compressed equity valuations for years. Owning every
piece of the food chain via vertical integration has proven problematic for the major entertainment conglomerates as ROIC never materialized relative to its expected IRR levels, regardless of whether they were managed well or not.
The debate over the incremental versus substitutionary nature of the emerging digitally driven
revenue stream remains highly visible and is perhaps skewed by the current consumer shifts
in the packaged media portion of home video, very modest cord cutting in cable/satellite/telco
platforms, and the IP driven delivery world. There is little economic difference to a studio between a VOD transaction, iTunes rental transaction, and a video rentailer transaction. Perhaps
the kiosk is changing that paradigm, but with average rentals at $1.00 per night generating
about $2.50 per transaction, the “loss” is most notable to the brick-and-mortar rentailers. The
implications have been bigger for Blockbuster and Movie Gallery, as each went through
bankruptcy, than for the major studios.

Exhibit 11 delineates the domestic market penetration of the key distribution platforms available today. The growth rates in the digital platforms (cable) are the segments most responsible
for the overall growth of the industry from a consumer spending perspective and should continue to be so as penetration ramps up. We would draw attention to DVR stats, which over the
coming years should show double-digit percentage growth and impactful revenue dynamics.

2) Global Marketplace
The US accounts for about 5% of the world’s population but approximately 50% of the dollars spent on filmed entertainment product worldwide at the consumer level. Although personal income levels, spending habits, and discretionary dollars on an absolute basis are responsible for the vast majority of this dynamic, it does help illustrate the potential for how the
industry can access more households and dollars over the next ten years. Global demand remains healthy and distribution costs continue to go down over the long term as digitally
driven models replace packaged media. This is especially noteworthy as middle-class economies with disposable incomes emerge in Latin America, Eastern Europe, India, and China (although China is fairly restrictive on the import of US film content). Unfortunately, there appears to be no end in sight to the billions of dollars lost each year to piracy. As an aside, we
find it interesting how China restricts the majority of US films from being played in theaters,
but has difficulty curtailing piracy on DVD/BD and other platforms for the very films it does
not allow to be freely played in theaters; this is an observation not a criticism. Perhaps surpris-

ingly, our leading cultural export industry does not appear to be suffering or less desirable internationally in the ever-changing geopolitical environment.
The evolution and revolution emerging from the digital world (DVR, VOD, streaming, S-Vid,
MOD, etc.) should accelerate some incremental spending, even if the analog world is somewhat displaced in the near term at a disproportionate level. Clearly, digital distribution is the
platform where most of the entertainment conglomerates are spending their strategic planning
dollars to ensure the most cost-efficient and profitable participation. The learning curve is
steep, with billions already spent this past decade in new initiatives and media content, but the
digital world is beginning to move from niche to mainstream as content creators build distribution pathways and connections to consumers.

consumption on a global basis.

The major entertainment conglomerates are actively building brands, realigning capital allocation priorities and practices, solidifying strategic global distribution alliances (surprisingly
with consumer electronic creators/manufacturers in the past year or two), and creating regional, locally produced language content around the world, all with the purpose of creating
shareholder value or mind-share/branding victories that can translate into future dollars.

3) Studio Economics
Perhaps one of the most positive changes going on in the industry the past few years has been
the significant overhead reductions that have influenced and improved studio-level economics. The reductions have been driven in part by the evaporation of third-party production capital (read: cheap capital), the elimination of many housekeeping producer/writer deals (thanks
to the WGA strike in late 2007-early 2008), and repositioning away from art house films or
labels that were seemingly unmanageable businesses or creative models. Whatever weight
you put to the motivation/causation, the annual savings will likely continue to accrue to shareholders via higher ROIC and FCF.
A big part of studio economics is accounting, which is a masterful art of perception and persuasion given the volatility of the business and the intensive capital investment required to
produce films or television programming. Add to that collection the creative financing components and talent participations, and it becomes readily apparent that there are lots of ways to
peel the onion! It is unusual for an industry to legitimately keep six sets of financial books to
run its business (checkbook, GAAP, tax, currency, financing and equity partners, as wells as
talent participations), but that is the reality of the filmed entertainment industry. This has
given rise at times to clever corporate communication or blog/press misdirection that can easily lead to intentional or unintentional investor confusion or even panic. Perhaps as with
ABC’s highly successful series Lost, which finished its successful primetime run in 2010,
there just are no answers. We believe the changes mandated by SOP 00-2 (as an addendum to
FASB 53) and implemented in 2001 have eliminated a fair amount of the abuse and are responsible for some progress toward neutralizing the fears of many investors that the accounting contained a lot of fiction, too. Unfortunately, the film financing vehicles put in place over
the past eight years have less transparency, and the variable accounting treatments from studio
to studio certainly bear watching from an accounting standpoint. If there is a “good point,”
most of those dollars have been consumed. That being said, the massive task of accounting for
thousands of films and television episodes in more than 200 domestic television markets and
200 international territories in multiple currencies at each of the studios is a daunting task at
best, but nonetheless required in the normal course of business. Look for film partnership or
film financing vehicle buyouts by the major studios over the next few years, a positive step to
unwinding a portion of the tangled web that has been woven, in our view.
The distribution of filmed entertainment content, on a bundled or standalone basis to more
than 140,000 theater screens and more than 650 million television (or computer equivalents
now) households worldwide creates a digital rights management jambalaya that will grow
proportionally more complicated over time as the emergence of new distribution platforms
takes place. DRM is becoming a far more frequent catch phrase as content owners master the
growing complexities of virtual distribution and present an interesting opportunity. Consumers are more interested in “buying” (read: pay for access) content once and moving it to
whichever platform they may choose rather than learning the tricks and limitations of the
“five key stroke” discount. Billions of dollars have been made over the past decade by repackaging content into the next new distribution portal. We do not think consumers will replace DVD libraries with Blu-Ray discs, but they may buy their favorites in a digital platform
that has portability. This benefit and barrier is likely to be broken down in the next five years,
as computing, cable satellite, telco, and broadcasting platforms meld and consumers become
savvier about portability of content. Disney’s Keychest and DECE’s UltraViolet are designing
the virtual library of product that will enable consumers to buy digital rights to content and

have access on the screen or device of their choice. We believe this is a watershed event for
content owners and consumers in the years to come. We are not concerned that cloud access
necessarily means fewer dollars or fewer future consumers as the collecting nature of film
content will just move from the physical shelf to the digital shelf. We also believe that original content is becoming a significant portion of the pie.
The impact of changes in the US dollar has been moderate for most of the major studios over
the past few years, both up and down. Most production does not have to take place where
there is an adverse currency translation, although tax advantages anywhere on the globe will
always attract a portion of film/TV production activity. Conversely, selling content into
European and other markets is often at least moderately influenced by currency swings, home
video, and television marketplaces. Currency advantages typically swing over time and tend
to balance out. The following table delineates the percentage of revenues that come from international regions for a selection of companies.

One of the economic difficulties that studios face each year relates to production expenses and
talent costs. The core markets for end-point distribution are amazingly robust, which often
leads top talent to negotiate, and often receive, increasingly more dollars for their creative
contribution. Most film product is “created” by third parties with financing and/or distribution
arrangements from one of the major studios and uses talent that captures an ever-increasing
percentage of the top, middle, and/or bottom dollar created by the film’s useful life. It is becoming somewhat easier to control costs across the talent pool as cheap and accessible production capital has disappeared and reduction in film output by the majors in recent years has
too much talent chasing too few films. New guild agreements were negotiated quietly and
quickly and will add only modestly marginal costs to the business. In any particular year, talent payment agreements are either already participating in most revenue streams above guild
contractual levels or have guaranteed payments that do not result in extra compensation depending on the film’s results (not a good thing, usually means a film underperformed). Top
cash guarantees have now hit the $25 million level for the “A” talent pool of perhaps five to
seven individuals versus first dollar revenues that lead to participations in the 10%-20%
range. Furthermore, the talent pool has expanded beyond film stars and now includes producers, directors, and writers. Also standing in line, primarily because of supply-demand dynamics, are CG effects providers who are becoming increasingly important to the product process.
For a film that generates $500-$700 million in worldwide gross from theatrical and home
video, as much as one-third of the distributor’s gross receipts (before recoupment) can be paid
to key talent in the highest-profile films such as Avatar. Add to this the inherently uncontrollable production costs such as special effects and CGI, frequent management changes (we esA member of BMO

timate it costs the corporate parent at least $250-$350 million every time a film studio chief
departs and leads new management to abandon the film projects the predecessor had put into
production as well as incurs severance for his/her top executives), and the 36- to 48-month
time lag for free cash flow generation, if any, after production begins on the new studio
chief’s projects.
The beauty of the business, however, is that filmed entertainment content generates perpetual
revenues in an annuity-like fashion, which has grown in dollar contribution over time as libraries are repurposed for new distribution portals. Exhibit 14 delineates worldwide segment
revenue streams derived from delivery of filmed entertainment content.

Most studios have reduced the capital allocated to film and television production in the past
few years in an effort to rein in costs and improve returns on invested capital for the corporate
parent. After years of declines in film reduction by the majors (5% fewer in 2010 by the majors, 6% fewer in 2009, after a 17% decline in 2008), the number of films released in 2011
was up 1%. We expect the majors to make more films in 2012 as DreamWorks (Spielberg),
MGM (from the bankruptcy pool), Relativity, and Summit (now owned by LGF) continue to
ramp up film output. In television, the tradition of production deficits is being neutralized to
some degree by the emergence of TV-to-DVD, iCasting, and downloading. The foreign television markets have also been healthy, although the fluctuations in that market are fairly wide

and frequent with the economy and currency being major variables. As original series programming for cable networks grow, the international component of total revenues is generally
much higher than television production of episodic series.
4) Accounting: Complex and Not Transparent!
Analysts and investors have always had a sensible amount of skepticism when it came to the
occasionally irrational accounting practices of the entertainment industry, even if in accordance with GAAP. It has been said that if the studios had as much fiction in their films as they
do in their studio-level financials, investors would be very well off. Changes in accounting
regulation in the past five years have effectively curtailed most entertainment companies’
ability to engineer higher operating income without corresponding revenues and have significantly reduced the half-life of expensive development deals that have often been the most
prominent hiding place for tens of millions of dollars in annual expenses.
The art of the deal is often said to have been created in Hollywood, and we believe accounting
will remain problematic for some investors given the fact that the SEC and GAAP accounting
rules still require disclosure. The complexities of joint ventures, split rights, and presales/overage deals all serve to further complicate an industry already lacking universal comfort with regard to accounting.
5) Dislocation and Disintermediation
The filmed entertainment industry has been the victim of billions and billions of dollars in lost
revenues annually over the past 20 years as piracy has proliferated. The advent of film recording, consumer electronic devices, and now digital formats has added significant portability to film content. The MPAA and other industry sources put the annual losses from worldwide piracy of films at close to $7 billion. As the world has rapidly moved from analog to
digital, the issue of piracy has become more profound as the ease and speed of illegal duplication and distribution accelerates. The varying legislation enacted in the US (The Copyright
Act of 1976, The No Electronic Theft Act and The Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to
thwart piracy of film assets seems to represent only minor barriers to many pirates. Some consumers find accessing content without payment something akin to an Internet right and it has
certainly become a digital urban legend. The thrill of free access seems to outweigh the often
suboptimal visual experience that pirated content displays. Litigation from both the music and
film industries has curtailed the more public flaunting of peer-to-peer file sharing, but as film
content moves to the digital platform, it is likely to be increasingly more difficult to suppress
piracy…or more innocently described as “personal acquisition outside of cost platforms.”
That being said, the 3- to 5-gigabyte file size of a DVD or 15- to 20-gigabyte size of a BD
quality film makes it less portable than music at just 300-500 kilobytes. Studios are beginning
to conquer the DRM confusion and contradiction via Keychest and UltraViolet. Consumers
want portability and will pay for that privilege. The dislocation factor will be a long-term
overhang as studios ebb and flow on how to capture dollars in a digital world.
The understanding or protection of intellectual property rights seemingly has not kept pace
with the more traditional concepts of personal property rights, a legal right that seems almost
impossible to enforce on a wide-scale basis. The most recent level of rampant piracy has
come from the DVD world where manufacturing costs are close to $0.60 per unit (Blu-Ray
unit manufacturing costs are roughly $1.00, down from $3.00 two or three years ago). It is a
financial factor in the US and runs rampant in other parts of the world, Asia specifically. OpA member of BMO

tical disc piracy has proliferated because of the ease of duplication in a digital platform and
lower production cost basis. Breaking the encryption is being done. This is a factor everywhere. As digital devices grow at an unprecedented pace, we see few enforcement obstacles
for those who choose to benefit from illegal activities. The economics of piracy on an individual level just do not register with the myriad of other demands on law enforcement attention. Although there is some focus on big manufacturing operations domestically and internationally, motivated to no small extent by the MPAA push, technology advancements with
optical duplication are making piracy abatement a consistently more difficult task.
Downloadable media has arrived and creates a significant transition and opportunity that will
occur relative to filmed entertainment. As investors observe what has occurred in the music
business, they sense there is a real threat to the filmed entertainment business over time as
technological development facilitates the portability of large portions of content. While the
typical music file is 300-500 kilobytes and quickly downloadable even in narrowband, the
typical feature film is 3-5 gigabytes, which is a sizable file to share or download for even the
best of the distribution high-speed pipelines today. HD video files can be anywhere from 15
to 20 gigabytes and even more difficult to transfer and download. MPEG 4 could cut these
levels in half, but that still requires significant memory at the personal computing level. This
does not even begin to touch the “backup” of hard disc memory issues even with 1-2 terabyte
storage devices available at reasonable prices or the portability to other utilization venues in
the cloud. Storage, access, and portability are gaining visibility and will be more of a headline
grabber in 2012. Watching a movie on your computer monitor is more of a novelty than a
preference for most people. The innovative viewer notwithstanding, we do not see a mass
market for pirated product with the current Internet pipeline architecture, video quality, and
average home computer memory. None of these obstacles, however, are insurmountable, especially over a five-year period.
The upside of these technological advances to the major studios is that eventually disintermediation is going to occur. Over the next ten years, there will be less need for content aggregators or distribution intermediaries (cable system operators, video rentailers, etc.) to deliver
significant numbers of consumers to content owners for a fee, be it a subscription or a la carte
model. The time between now and then will see many R&D experiments and attempts to
brand and build a large consumer pool.
We do not intend to imply that these businesses are going away, but they certainly are not going to grow as the studios utilize technology to reach significant portions of the population directly, especially with front-line product. This is the downside to the digital world for intermediaries. We expect this to leave many of those with wireline distribution pipelines in a
more commodity-type role unless they are successful at turning those pipes into multiple
business lines (HSDA, mobile, telephone, etc), a goal that many industry participants are attempting to accomplish.
6) 3D World
Digital cinema (D-Cin) has been available for a number of years but is finally gaining maturity as Digital Cinema Implementation Partners or DCIP (financing vehicle) installs digital
projectors at the three major exhibitors in the US. Essentially, the projection and distribution
format standards that control the digital projection systems and ensure interoperability of
hardware can now create the manufactured product, allowing for universal distribution. The

current method hard disk delivery method will eventually morph into satellite delivery. The
two major digital projection players are Texas Instruments, which uses its patented DLP system, a 2K system that can be more thoroughly analyzed at www.dlpcinema.com, and is being
replaced by its 4K chipset, and Sony, a 4K-based digital projection system. Texas Instruments
licenses its technology to a number of third-party manufactures such as Christie, Ballantyne
Strong, Fujitsu, and NEC, among others. We are now seeing second- and third-generation
projection that is enhancing lumens, reducing power consumption, and providing for easier
maintenance and software control.
DCIP has garnered about $880 million in capital to facilitate the roll out of digital projectors
in the US. There are more than 25,000 digital projectors in use in domestic theaters today and
close to 12,500 3D systems in theaters. Digital projection saves studios hundreds of dollars
per screen (after virtual print fees, or VPF) and will ultimately save $1,000 or more per
screen, an expense that is between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion annually in print, shipping, insurance, and post screening disposal costs. The quick ramp-up in 3D screens is understandable given the very compelling economics surrounding a 3D film. We believe there is a financial change coming over the next few years for theater circuits with broad penetration of 3D
technology.
In addition, on the horizon is the 3D HDTV set with the major HDTV manufacturers such as
Samsung, Vizio, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Sony hitting the consumer electronics market place
with new 3D capable products. Understandably, these products are in their higher-priced infancy stage, and consumers appear reticent to embrace the current technology, which requires
expensive active shutter lenses to view programming. Events, such as ESPN’s 3D broadcast
of the World Cup and the Olympics, are likely to continue and enhance the home theater entertainment experience. We expect penetration rates of hardware to grow, active eyewear
technology to be standardized, and 3D programming to expand over the next few years until
there is enough scale on the hardware and content side to drive a meaningful consumer business.
7) Connected World
We believe downloading and streaming video (S-Vid) are becoming much more viable delivery systems of film and television content. Apple dominates the field with an estimated 400
million downloads in 2011. Netflix, partnering with every consumer electronics manufacturer
and device, is becoming a well-branded flag pole for streamers. Most owners of filmed entertainment content are highly attracted to an IP-driven distribution platform that would ostensibly allow the retention of a much higher percentage of revenue generated by its film, television, and music products by eliminating the middle man (e.g., the cable system operator). We
have noted a number of players in Exhibit 15 in the download or streaming business including
Apple, Amazon, iTunes, LG NetCast, and Walmart, among others, and those studios with
self-directed access portals with a few online film distribution players highlighted below.

The movie download business has conceptual appeal, especially if piracy issues are addressed, but it needs technology to speed up downloads that currently take 10-120 minutes or
more, depending on connection speed. According to a study by SNL Kagan, a studio would
have to charge consumers $3.50-$4.00 per download to meet its current VOD profit split with
cable system operators. Studios would be required to pay approximately half a cent per MB
on a 90-minute film encoded at 500 Kbps, which provides a VHS quality viewing experience.
This would give the studio a 60% margin, or $2.40, profit per download. This is still no match
for the $8.00-$12.00 gross profit provided per sold DVD unit. We believe the studios would
prefer to find a streaming video solution that would ultimately allow them to improve their
split or profit margin to the 70%-80% level. The issue with this scenario lies in the question of
whether the studios want to cannibalize their home video market at this point in time when
monetizing their captive libraries on DVD has been very lucrative.
8) Advertising Environment
The advertising environment was healthy in 2011 and seems well on its way to mid- to highsingle-digit growth in 2012. The next major advertising milestone will come from the MayJune upfront market whereas sales (reservations) have become more of a headline tug-o-war
rather than a selling event. Another positive variable in 2012 will be political advertising,
which will pick up as we race into the November Presidential election. Advertisers bought
early at high-single-digit premiums last year against 20% plus scatter market costs. As the
2011-2012 season has progressed the scatter market remains healthy for national advertising.
A member of BMO

Ad buyers continue to discover that waiting for scatter pricing is likely to require higher dollar
investment to capture the gross rating points necessary to achieve their advertising goals. We
believe stabilization in ad spending, at least on a headline basis, will be a very favorable event
for the equity valuations of the entertainment conglomerates.
The Great Debate-OTT
The great debate in the entertainment-media world of late has been framed as “content” versus “distribution” with headlines frequently announcing the winners and losers. We wholeheartedly agree that the digital world is expanding the pie for everyone and are far less convinced quantitatively or anecdotally that this is a zero-sum game for content creators, cable
and broadcast networks, digital content aggregators, or more importantly consumers. Please
keep this premise in mind: no one watches for free and for that matter the production of
professional content requires revenues to keep the supply of content coming! We expect that the value chain will incrementally shift in favor of content generators – as has been
the case for sports for some time – but we do not anticipate the tectonic shift as that would be
a net negative for all concerned. All this being said, if there is one thing that keeps one awake
at night, it is the affordability issue with some distributors of content noting a bifurcation of
demand between the low and high end with low-end consumers perhaps getting priced out of
the market within the current model. There is a move to thin tiers of programming. With a full
portfolio of content, we see the cable and telcos as best positioned to provide the breadth and
depth of content that most consumers want.
We would also proffer that this is not the first time the debate over this has moved to center
stage as “hardware versus software,” “home video versus theaters,” “television versus theaters” have occurred over the years. Disintermediation, in whatever form it takes, is all about
revenue splits between content owners and licensees, who obviously make their dollars via
end point consumer relationships. The internet has removed many of the financial and technological barriers to entry in filmed entertainment, but content and consumer connection still
control most of the touch points for revenue generation, and we seriously doubt that will
change meaningfully this decade.
Industry Myths
 MYTH: Over the top (OTT) is a substitute for the home video and cable network platform. The myth that an $8 or $20 per month subscription for streaming and/or DVD
rental service can replace the $80-$150 per month cable/telco/satellite subscription product misses the consumer behavior of the vast majority of connected homes in that the
subs are unlikely to provide a similar content base (sports, breadth of original programming, news, etc.) in the home entertainment arena.
There may be a small demographic that can cobble together at a lower cost their most desirable content, but it is not for the masses. Premium-pay cable channels, such as HBO,
Showtime, and Starz, have been devoting substantially more dollars to original programming and have had noticeable success worldwide with content (Sex and the City, Boardwalk Empire, Weeds, etc.)

Professional and college sports enthusiasts domestically (football, baseball, NASCAR,
golf, basketball, etc.) and internationally (soccer, etc.) are not going to opt out of the connected world. The live nature of sports cannot be found in a non-cord world very easily,
if at all.
From a content perspective, those with high interests in sports and/or news, with children
or episodic TV interests are less likely to see OTT as a substitute and more likely to view
it as a complement to their viewing habits. With the concept of the TV Everywhere,
companies such as Comcast, Time Warner, and Rogers are on the path to making most of
their content available to all their customers regardless of the access device, whether it be
via TV, computer, tablet or mobile phone. With the cable and telcos promoting service
bundles on all these platforms, this alignment with their content is a very attractive
proposition for most consumers. Hence, the risk of disintermediation for cable and telcos
is relatively low. That said, as major purchasers of content, the cable companies and telcos are exposed to escalating content costs that increasingly will be difficult to pass on to
consumers as affordability at some point will increasingly become an issue. OTT providers are faced by the same cost escalation for content, so on a relative basis they benefit
from little comparative advantage.
In addition for OTT players, costs for the download and streaming buyers are only getting more complicated and expensive as the value proposition originally perceived
around cord cutting may in essence just be shifting dollars from the video side of the connected provider bill to the high-speed data side of the bill via up-charges for broadband
usage. While U.S.-based internet service providers (cable and telcos) recognize the need
to better monetize their broadband networks via tiered pricing, caps, or throttling, they
have avoided doing so owing to consumer backlash at a time when there are competitive
imbalances in market. This noted, U.S. providers openly look to Canada’s model of service packaging both on speed and capacity as the best model for providing services. Under this model, OTT service subscriptions incur bandwidth charges that negate much of
the economic benefit of cord cutting or cord shaving for the bulk of consumers. As the
competitive turf war for ownership of the home between cable and telcos abates, there
likely will evolve a greater alignment of interests with respect to data pricing that ultimately leads to tiered data pricing.

MYTH: Filmed entertainment content is destined to the same dynamics and similar
economic impact as the music business where piracy and portability will facilitate a
massive erosion of revenues and profitability from the filmed entertainment industry (at
any point on the distribution curve, and now via piracy and file sharing as we enter the
multi-platform digital world).
Using a fair assumption that consumers wish to watch programming at a broadcast or
digital quality level, file sizes are 20 to 50 times that of music and about one-third of that
for episodic TV. These are enormous size files to share via most free email services and
are likely going to come under the usage filters and potential charges by high-speed data
providers. The same usage dynamics are in place for the streamer and downloader where
gigabytes per month have a probability of exceeding usage caps monthly.

MYTH: The cloud is the solution or the substitute. The emergence of the Digital Enter-
tainment Content Ecosystem, an alliance of Time Warner, Sony, News Corp, Comcast,
Microsoft, Intel, and a host of others, in 2011 (now with one million registrants) and
KeyChest, an alliance of Disney and Apple, as the consumer cloud based digital-rights
locker enables consumers to access purchased content on multiple connected devices to
buy once and play most everywhere. Certainly there is an allure to storage and access as
long as product is rendered such that your specific device can seamlessly stream or
download. Most consumers do not buy or store much of the filmed entertainment content
they watch on a regular or recurring basis. They watch far more programming while connected via cable, telco, or satellite than can be provided by most content aggregators.

MYTH: OTT is easy to use, available ubiquitously, and provides access to a majority
of the content in the industry’s film vaults. The critical path for the OTT mission to fulfill
consumer expectations of all content available on any device anywhere they might be and at
anytime they wish to watch, is at least a fairy tale if not an unfulfilled myth today.
There is no one place to go or subscription to be paid for that can give consumers all access, anywhere, anytime to filmed entertainment content. There is no economic incentive
large enough to drive the major studios, which own most of the product, and other rights
owners (producers, distributors, etc), to license all of their copy righted intellectual property to a single or multiple portal or platform.

MYTH: The value of traditional or existing libraries or established cable networks is
diminished by, or in, a digital world. Over the past three decades as a variety of new
portals for filmed entertainment content have emerged, it has become clearly evident that
demand for content is ubiquitous and insatiable. The hundred thousand-plus movies and
similar amount of television programming have been monetized and re-monetized as
home video and premium pay and tiered cable networks have grown into a roughly $40
billion subset that provides video to the consumer. To assume, from an investment standpoint, that digital portals will provide that content “free” (whether at the hands of pirates
who steal for profit or clever technoistas who hack for pleasure), thus meaningfully disrupting the profitability of content creators or distributors, is highly unlikely. Could pirates and techno-players siphon off a percentage point or two from viewership? Sure.
Does this change the economics of the business? Highly improbable, in our view.
We believe the opposite is occurring as the active (Netflix, Hula Plus, Amazon, etc.) repackagers or aggregators of content or passive delivery systems that are typically device
hardware based (Apple, TiVo, Roku, etc.) provide incremental new dollars to content
owners. Consumers are not migrating or abandoning their TV watching despite the proliferation of new entertainment (YouTube), informational portals (email, Twitter, Facebook, etc), or interactive game (Xbox, Nintendo, etc.) options in which they partake.
More households are watching more television, even if they are multitasking.
Apple reportedly sells hundreds of millions of TV episodes at $0.99-$1.99 annually,
much of which is also viewable on the broadcast networks. Netflix has over 22 million
U.S. subscribers who pay $8.00-$20.00 per month for thousands of movies to be
streamed, the vast majority of which were produced years ago. The point: consumers will
pay both!

Theatrical Films
The appeal of movies to consumers worldwide has taken a very positive turn in the past year
or two as digital demand blossoms. The creation, production, and distribution of theatrical
films have been a major cornerstone of the filmed entertainment industry, and the industry is
being reenergized by new digitally enabled distribution platforms. If not going to their local
movie theater, consumers are certainly renting, buying, streaming, or downloading movies
from a growing variety of platforms and price points that make film content consumption as
vibrant as ever. However, the theatrical window still remains arguably the most important
promotional platform for driving revenues down the distribution stream.
2011 in Review
In North America, consumers bought tickets to an estimated 598 new theatrical films in 2011,
representing approximately 1.3 billion tickets sold. The $10.17 billion grossed at the domestic
(US and Canada) box office was down 3.7% from the $10.57 billion achieved in 2010 and the
record $10.59 billion achieved in 2009 owing to a very difficult first-quarter comparison
(Avatar and Alice in Wonderland effect from 2010) and lackluster fourth-quarter films, most
likely caused by creative cycles. However, statistics drawn from the MPAA, NATO, and
other industry trade publications reveal that annual admissions to theaters remain range bound
over the past 15 years, moving between 1.3 billion and 1.5 billion tickets sold annually and
swinging annually as a result of film product cycles and new distribution portals.
As expected, the number of films released increased 8.7% in 2011 to 598 as capital has returned to the development and production window. There were 5,827 theaters and 39,641
screens in the US in 2011, roughly flat with 2010. Of those screens, 25,621, or 65%, were
digital and 12,565, or 32%, were enabled for 3D formatted films.
The number of 3D films increased to 35 in 2011, up from 25 in 2010. 3D films contributed
$1.8 billion to the North American box office, representing 18% of total box office revenues
in 2011, which was down from just over 20% of the domestic box office in 2010 (in large part
because of Avatar and Alice in Wonderland).
The Importance of the Theatrical Run and the Mega Wide Opening
The domestic box office generates 20%-25% of the average feature film’s total revenues on a
worldwide basis. The domestic theatrical run for a film continues to be the optimal promotional platform for film content creators that can drive revenues in international theatrical
markets, home video, merchandise and licensing, as well as other worldwide ancillary
streams. The success or exposure of a film via advertising and promotional activity before its
theatrical run of typically six to nine weeks builds product awareness that can help maximize
revenues in ensuing markets as well as ancillary dollars in merchandising and licensing. Studios typically spend on average $20-$40 million in advertising before a film is released to
build consumer awareness and multiples of that for major event films. Event films with high
production budgets may spend upwards of $100-$200 million worldwide on media and related promotional activities to launch or drive incremental attendance to a film. The high end,
$200 million or more, was spent promoting Avatar, a film that grossed $2.78 billion in box
office worldwide in 2009-2010. DreamWorks Animation often spends $125-$150 million
worldwide for a theatrical run of its two or three animated films each year.

Consumer awareness of a particular film is a key marketing element in both the theatrical and
home video marketplace. The rationale behind opening event films on 7,000-9,000 screens (or
more than 3,000 3D screens when formatted that way), compared with the average wide release opening ten years ago on 3,000 screens, is to get maximum leverage on advertising dollars to build consumer awareness. The global release pattern of many of each year’s top films
now spreads the advertising umbrella much wider. Accelerating spending closer to a film’s
theatrical release date opens the door for studios to look for quicker packaged media and EST
(electronic sell-through) availability to capitalize on those dollars, especially on a film that
has not garnered the anticipated box office dollars. A wide release for a film’s initial run also
helps assure that the vast majority of moviegoers can see a film in its first or second weekend,
neutralizing the competitive threat of the next event film in peak release periods (summer and
holidays). With second weekend drop-off for event films in the two major releasing periods –
17-18 weeks of summer and 10 weeks encompassing the holidays – ranging from 45% to
65%, achieving a “big” opening has grown in importance, even if only for internal corporate
affirmation and evaluation. We also see global day and date distribution worldwide becoming
more common for most event films. Exhibit 16 delineates the top 25 opening weekends (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) in North America (US and Canada) for feature films over the past
seven years, which reveals a sharp increase in total dollars and theaters used to open a film.
These films might typically open on two or more screens per theater in today’s multiplex and
megaplex world. There were six films in 2011 that entered the top 25 openings from the last
seven years, including the record breaking Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,
which squeezed out The Dark Knight for the number one spot. Subsequent to 2011, The Hunger Games opened into the number three spot in March 2012. Investors are becoming more
accustomed to the $100 million domestic box office weekend (even if only a three-day, nonholiday weekend) as the trading standard for “blockbuster” versus the historical definition of
$100 million total box office. Some of the stats are understated now as Wednesday and
Thursday openings may capture a disproportionally large box office dollar before the traditional weekend begins.

The top 25 domestic openings of 2011 are listed in Exhibit 17. We note that there remains a
wide variance in opening weekend gross to total film box office through its run, ranging from
21% to 51% for films generating over $100 million. We believe that this should be an important variable for corporate/distribution executives in measuring the ROI of advertising dollars.
Higher levels of spending do not always generate higher ticker sales, for weekend one at least.
Greater efficiency in capital deployed for film promotion is growing in importance to overall
film profitability and corporate earnings. The tendency for many studio marketing/distribution
executives is to try to buy an audience with bigger ad spends, an exercise that is hard to quantify as providing a healthy ROIC.

Approximately 35% of the ultimate first cycle domestic box office gross in 2011 was generated on the first weekend. The first ten days of box office performance (usually encompassing
two weekends) typically garners close to 50% of the revenues a film grossing under $200 million will generate at the domestic box office. There are exceptions such as Avatar or The
Help, but typically more than 95% of a film’s box office revenues in North America are generated in the film’s first eight weeks as Exhibits 18 and 19 reveal from the top releases of
2010 and 2011.

Family-oriented films are generating slightly fewer dollars in their opening weekend than industry averages. We caution investors that using industry averages (in the 32%-35% range)
for first weekend can under-project total domestic box office for most animated films as detailed in Exhibit 20. We do not believe that families feel as driven or attracted to initial weekend screenings for a host of factors, and this skews traditional projection tools after a film’s
opening weekend. We note holiday 2011 films brought the average down 150 bp as their ultimate success was somewhat muted.

We believe that producers and distributors will continue to look for more screens to open major event films (or even better, more 3D screens), which leverages print and advertising
(P&A) spending and mitigates competitive threats from other tent pole films on subsequent
weekends in key release periods, especially as digital projection replaces reel and sprocket
projectors, which can reduce net distribution costs by hundreds of dollars per film (virtual
print fees replacing 35mm film). The addition of 3D films is likely to skew the data, as $3plus up-charges will drive higher dollar levels in the earlier weeks of a successful film’s domestic box office gross. We have seen this not only with Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, but
also with a variety of other releases.
3D Is Here
We estimate 35 films were released in 3D in 2011 (inclusive of those with over $5 million in
domestic box office gross). Exhibits 21 and 22 list the 3D films released in 2010 and 2011
and their respective domestic box office gross. While it appears from exhibitor and studio
comments that approximately 45% of the domestic box office revenues for 3D films came
from that format, which is down from roughly 55% in 2010, the incremental contribution
should not be ignored as the number of films utilizing the 3D platform grows. The 3D event
films of 2011 likely saw fewer limitations on 3D-formatted screens available relative to 2010.

Exhibit 23 lists the 3D film releases expected for the 2012 and 2013 theatrical slates. We expect 32 films to be released in 3D in 2012, as of March 29, 2012. The studio/distributor can
generally expect to see an incremental $1.00-$2.50 per ticket from the 3D-formatted release
with variances coming from the typical RealD showing versus the IMAX showing. This is a
20% to 60% increase in rental income from 3D ticket sales and is ample motivation to utilize
the platform.

The animation genre is traditionally led by the threesome of Disney, DreamWorks Animation,
and 20th Century Fox; however, more recently other studios have made a break into the genre
with hits such as the highly successful The Smurfs (Sony) in 2011 and Despicable Me (Universal) in 2010. Disney has captured the imagination of just about every movie-goer at some
point in his or her life through its animated films produced over the past 60 years and has renewed that status in the past few years via Pixar’s films and leadership influence on other
Disney projects. The Disney created or captured characters have gone on to long outlive their

creators and the ability of many of these franchises to generate revenue is unparalleled in the
consumer marketplace. Others have become as successful in creating characters (Ice Age,
Madagascar, Shrek, etc.) that have long half lives and will revisit consumers with new stories
for its loveable characters to tell.
Exhibit 24 breaks out a number of the relevant statistics since 2002 for this genre of film. We
note that 110 notable animated films have been released theatrically since 2002.

The eight animated films released in 2010 generated the highest level of box office dollars in
any year historically, making for a difficult comparison in 2011. The domestic box office
gross for animated films was down roughly 27% in 2011, although the number of animated
films released increased to 12. A meaningful portion of the animated gross came from 3D and
an even higher 3D percentage will likely occur in 2012 and 2013. We note that a $3.00-plus
3D premium per ticket should help overall box office gross from the animated film/genre. The
competitive environment for all films, particularly animated product, coupled with rising costs
and a less robust home video marketplace, away from the top three or four titles, have not
made the profit picture any clearer. This is partly influenced by what is happening in the retail
sector of the economy, which influences licensing, but is nonetheless driving studios and producers to be more selective about which animated films they create.
We expect 10-15 animated films to be made each year, led by Disney and DreamWorks Animation, most of which will be made in 3D. This raises an entirely new competitive challenge
as the distribution screen count is likely to be constrained for 3D films over the next year or
so during key release periods. Paramount’s initial foray into animation (Rango in 2011) and
subsequent decision to produce/distribute one or two animated films per year (Sponge Bob,
A member of BMO
Financial Group
50
April 2012
BMO Capital Markets
Holiday 2014) will add to the crowded/clustered release schedule for the genre. The most
highly anticipated animated films of 2012 are Madagascar 3 (DWA, June 8, 2012), Brave
(DIS, June 22, 2012), Ice Age: Continental Drift (NWSA, July 13, 2012), Wreck It Ralph
(DIS, November 2, 2012), and Rise of the Guardians (DWA, November 21, 2012).
The profitability quotient is clearly going to keep the major studios in the animation production business, even if the home video business (packaged) is not delivering unit sales near
peak levels of the late 1990s through 2006. DreamWorks Animation, Disney, and Fox have
each had enormous success in the genre. It is likely to see others such as Comcast/NBCUniversal and Time Warner pick up their production activity.
A Historical Look at the Box Office
Exhibit 25 shows theatrical release statistics from 1992 to 2011. While the domestic box office has fluctuated up and down over the years, the compounded average growth rate of the
domestic box office since 2000 is 2.6%. The theatrical window is also seeing resurgence as
3D film product and digital 3D screen expansion have entered the market, which should further push the average ticket price higher from its already somewhat steady growth rate over
the past 20 years. Also notable is the explosion in international box office. Since 2000, the international box office has grown at a compounded average rate of 8.6%.

The number of new films released in 2011 was estimated to have been up 8.7% after a 1.4%
decline in 2010 and an 11.8% decline in 2009. We expect that the number of films released in
2012 will be slightly higher than in 2011 as the small increases from the majors will be
boosted by more releases from the mini-majors (Lions Gate, Relativity, Weinstein, Open
Road, etc.) and other independents. The major studios released 108 films in 2011, up less than
1% from 107 films in 2010, which was down 5.3% from 2009.
Given the 18- to 24-month or more development and production window required for most
films, the antecedents for constriction in film output in 2009 were not heavily weighted to the
financial crisis or even declining availability of capital. We think corporate strategy, Guild
wars in 2008, home video transition, and lack of profitability for many middle-market films
were the drivers historically, with capital and home video more heavily weighted in 2010 and
2011. The industry is beginning to see capital return, but the shift for risk capital away from
middle-market films remains a barrier for many.
There continues to be stability in the number of times per year the average person attends a
movie in the US, ranging between four and five times per year as is delineated in Exhibit 26.
It is important to note that admissions are very much reflective of film product in any one
year, and 2011’s slight dip is likely a result of the somewhat lackluster film product. We believe the movie-going age demographic is widening as art, foreign, and specialty films find
wider acceptance alongside higher-profile 3D films. This can only be beneficial to theater
owners who have longed for a more diversified movie-going base and the opportunity to have
ticket price up-charges.

The International Market
Exhibit 27 shows the aggregate film performance of the international markets versus the domestic marketplace. There are enormous population and spending gaps between the domestic
and international marketplaces, but emerging “middle classes” with higher relative disposable
incomes in India, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia are driving the movie business
both in theatrical and most other ancillary markets. As noted earlier, the US has 5% of the
world’s population, but generates close to 45% of worldwide spending on filmed entertainment product. This is one of the reasons we believe that there are enormous long-term opportunities for the filmed entertainment business.

The significant increase in 2004-2011 box office gross totals for the international markets is
in small part related to currency and in large part to the success of many event films overseas.
That said, we expect the international box office to continue to generate an ever-increasing
percentage of the revenue for top films released annually as more theaters are built and “middle class” economies emerge and grow.

We believe significant growth opportunities exist worldwide for filmed entertainment product
in all its distribution platforms (i.e., theatrical, home video in its broad definition,
pay/network/cable TV, merchandising, etc.). New theater builds with stadium seating, 3Dcapable digital projection, enhanced sound (Dolby, DTS, etc.), ultra-large format screens
(XD, RPX), an emerging middle class with disposable income, and better global access to day
and date product are all part of the positive outlook.

Most international markets are growing at a very healthy pace, even when US produced films
have an “average” year. Japan was likely hurt by earthquake and tsunami damage and otherwise might have been up for the year. We recognize that a stronger dollar depressed global
numbers.
The top 100 films internationally generated approximately $14.5 billion in box office gross
this past year, a gain of 5.1%.
Trends in Film Releases
We see no cyclicality or economic sensitivity from consumers over film product in general,
but the corporate response to economic change and the natural half-life of each studio’s creative resources have led to downward pressure on the number of films being released. In 2009,
aggregate film releases were down 11.8% with the majors declining 5.8%, while 2010 saw
aggregate film releases down 1.4% with the majors down 5.3%. 2011 clearly saw a recovery

with aggregate film counts up 8.7%, albeit still below the high of 2008 and mostly owing to
the 13% gain for the major independents and, to a lesser extent, a 1% increase for the majors.
Exhibits 31-33 show the swings in releases by both major studios and independent producers.
Given the transition in package media (BD/DVD) to digital and changing program lineups of
premium cable networks (HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc.), evaporation of cheap production capital will eliminate the marginal film project.

The films released by the eight major studios (Disney, DreamWorks Animation, Fox, Universal, Warner Bros., Sony, Paramount, DreamWorks) increased just 1% in 2011 (down 28%
since the 2006 peak), following declines over the past four years, which reflect a decrease in
production output across the board as capital allocated to films declines and off-balance sheet
financing wound down. In 2012, we expect the releases from the major studios and minimajors to be up close to 5%.
Exhibit 34 breaks out the annual number of film releases by the major producers/distributors.
A primary statistic not revealed by this data is the number of films that are self-produced versus the number acquired after, or near, completion. For most of the major studios, this concept
is rarely discussed because the business model of many studios is built on distribution as opposed to production. Complicating matters further are the variety of split-rights deals, joint
ventures, co-productions, and the like that are also tied to release statistics. In the end, fewer
dollars equals less film production.

1997. Sony produces/distributes the most films (by a wide margin most years), while Disney

Studio Market Share
Studios take great pride in their box office market share performance as a measure of their
success, or should we say studio executives’ success! We think the days of victory laps and
bragging rights are moving away from center stage as film profitability has become more of
the corporate mantra creating a perpetual reality therapy session among top corporate and studio management because it’s not just “other people's money” on the line anymore. The following four exhibits detail the domestic box office market share for the past three years as
well as the top distributors since 1995, including their aggregate box office gross. We would
reiterate our annual caution that box office market share has no correlation to profitability.

Over time, Time Warner (Warner Bros, New Line, Fine Line, Warner Independent), Sony
(Sony Classics), and Disney (Buena Vista, Hollywood, Miramax-although sold in 2010, Pixar
and now Marvel) have fairly consistently been the top gross and market share leaders in producing revenue generating films.
Economic Splits
The mega-wide opening, defined as opening in more than 4,000 theaters with most playing a
film on more than one screen, has led to a redesign of traditional economic splits between distributors and exhibitors on film releases. The historical declining-splits model, which for the
most anticipated event films often started at 90% to the distributor for the first weekend (less
direct theater costs), made little economic sense for exhibitors which supplied an everincreasing number of screens on opening weekend to satisfy as much consumer demand as
possible. We estimate that more than 80% of the films released annually now have firm terms
negotiated up front with sliding scales mirroring overages on total box office gross achievement for films grossing more than $250 million domestically rather than the time-table-driven
revenue sharing model of the past. This does not mean that there are not any renegotiations of
settlement terms post release, even with a firm term agreement, but it is the benchmark for
film rentals paid to studios/distributors from its theatrical run. This is especially true when a
distributor wants to keep a film on the screen longer than the original term or on more positively weighted seat counts. That is the nature of the beast and the business.
We have not yet seen any changes in revenue splits on 3D films. Studios continue to pay for
the glasses (down to less than $0.40 per pair), although this has been challenged by Sony with
its three big event films for summer 2012, while exhibitors pay for 3D technology ($0.40$0.43 per ticket or so) to RealD in about 80% of US 3D-enabled theaters.
We will see how the Sony declaration/position of nonpayment for 3D glasses plays out – the
European model (in which moviegoers pay for the glasses) or a hybrid set solution by the
three parties at the table. One thing is certain in our opinion; 3D is not going away over the
glasses issue.

Film Costs
Aggregate film negative costs, excluding participations and residuals, for films released by
the major studios continue their long-term rise at rates significantly higher than inflation rates.
It is estimated that per film negative costs for MPAA members (the seven majors) were up
8% in 2011 to $88.6 million (before participations and it is unclear if studio overhead is or is
not being allocated to this number). This is an average and clearly does not reflect the full
force of the $150-$300 million being spent on each of the summer and holiday tent pole films,
excluding participations that can add tens of millions of dollars (or more!) on many films.
Concerted efforts by almost every major studio to cap or reduce aggregate investment of corporate dollars (especially as the latest round of “cheap” capital from partnerships and ventures
has been used and not renewed) have led most of the studios to reduce their annual film output over the past three years. The $13.5 billion or so that was raised in the 2000-2007 time
frame to finance feature films is used up, and we put a low probability of new film financing
vehicles from these sources (hedge funs, investment banking pools, etc.) anytime soon. There
is a remnant of financial pools (Relativity being the poster child), but it is a selective situation.
Investment banks (Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, etc.) that put together
many of the financing/investment vehicles of the past decade are mostly out of this business.
What has emerged are P&A pools that are a short-term source of dollars used for advertising
that return as initial rentals from exhibitors. These dollars typically have a six- to nine-month
half life and may or may not get recycled.
There are more production dollars going into special effects, especially CGI/CGA and 3D
rendering, as film-making evolves. The digital world has created a new exploration activity
for filmmakers to discover. While some studios are cutting back on the aggregate number of
films, which limits the amount of capital invested, the cost per film is not going down or even
remaining static as technology is levered to create a better film-going experience. Lower aggregate film output seems to have limited correlation to per film spend, although there seems
to be greater comfort in spending for the ultra-high budget film with major talent and production values attached.
The migration to digital production may have incremental costs for the studios to absorb (reportedly 10%-20% increase in production costs for 3D films), although it may save time and
money on the backend (post production editing, video transfer, 35 mm film costs, etc.). As 3D
event films become more mainstream, including selected live action films such as Pirates of
the Caribbean 4 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two, in 2011, $25-$50 million in incremental costs per film will be absorbed into film cost structures without much
angst. Obviously, 3D is the catalyst to tiered ticket pricing, which can meaningfully increase
theatrical revenues.
In addition, the publicized production cost increases do not fully integrate the variable talent
costs associated with gross and net participations in film revenues and profits across multiple
distribution windows, a factor that adds potentially tens of millions of dollars or more to ultimate film costs. Participations can add 10%-25% to a film’s ultimate costs, even for seemingly unprofitable films in some cases as production contracts can at times be tied to gross
revenues for a handful of films (or talent) annually.
Although somewhat anecdotal, we seriously doubt that, on average, the major studios were
putting up much more than half of the capital previously used in direct negative costs of their

annual film portfolios during the last decade. Is that good? In a sense, it has been a risk management tool. For the films that are modest (read: money losers), it is a great strategy (for a
while). For the films that are profitable, it has a negative result since the upside is shared with
financing partners. Furthermore, in the last round of film financing vehicles, financing partners grew much savvier about production and promotion costs, distribution fees, settlements,
presales, and splits (especially relating to studio overhead) than the preceding production financing co-ops. That is not to say that producers and distributors have not learned how to
make money in the process, but that is not generally how to create shareholder value. It is rapidly becoming a moot point as those production dollars wane, although we are confident that
generation 4.0 or 5.0 will emerge for film production dollars. They always do.
A number of films in 2011 had budgets of an estimated $200 million or more including Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Cars 2, and The Green Lantern. It is almost the
corporate goal to keep tent-pole event films under that level these days. In 2012, production
budgets may bump up for some of the more highly anticipated films such as John Carter (DIS
~ $300 million), The Dark Knight Rises (TWX ~ $250 million), The Avengers (DIS ~ $200
million), and The Amazing Spider-Man (SNE ~ $250 million). This is not to imply that these
high-budget films will lose money or even that it is harder to make money at that budget level
(it isn’t as risky as $50-$80 million budgeted films in our opinion), as diverse revenue
streams, especially internationally, can help producers recover their film negative costs, even
if it takes years on a cash basis.
The once massively over-screened exhibition industry, coupled with many poor leases for underperforming screens, allowed the studios modest negotiating leverage to achieve a higher
percentage of the box office rentals (100 bp or so). The shortage of 3D-enabled screens may
very modestly equalize the film rental marketplace, but the Avatar type film (which we recognize comes along once every ten years) in the marketplace will push rental percentages
higher when it does happen. Even then, the estimated rental take for the studios did not fluctuate wildly, and the entrance of more films with firm terms, even with performance escalators for the over-the-top films like The Dark Knight and Avatar, is likely to keep the splits
fairly stable for years to come.
The following exhibit reveals the long-term splits, with better than 50% going to the producer/distributor.

The next major benefit for the exhibition industry is the more rapid adoption of digital projection to enable 3D technology. This ramp-up of digital has been financed through virtual print
fees paid by studio distributors to Digital Cinema Implementation Partners (DCIP, the vehicle
that has financed the hardware and installation). We do not expect the roughly $600-$800 virtual print fee, which should decline over the next our or five years to zero, to significantly improve the distribution cost structure for the studio until a greater percentage of the screens are
utilizing the technology. A 35mm print used in theater projectors has consistently run $1,000$1,200 and shipping back and forth, destruction post use, and insurance has traditionally cost
an additional $100-$200 per print. At this point the studios are distributing hard drive “prints”
that cost $50-$75 each. Ultimately, a satellite-based delivery system will take over through
DCDC (Satellite Network Content Delivery) or others, which will reduce costs on both sides
even further. Undoubtedly, there will be costs savings to the studios, potentially $1 billion in
the aggregate. Fortunately for the studios, it is a cost that is expensed as incurred, so all of the
related savings will fall immediately to the bottom line.
DCIP (a partnership between Regal, AMC, and Cinemark) has garnered about $880 million in
capital to accelerate the rapid roll-out of digital projectors. There are more than 25,600 digital
projectors in use in domestic theaters today and close to 12,600 3D systems in theaters. We
think the industry can get to 34,000 domestic digital screens and 14,000 or so domestic 3D
screens by the end of 2012. The 3D financial equation is very intriguing to all of the major
film producers because of an enhanced ticket pricing model and the two to three times attendance pickup with a 3D film, seemingly, at least for now, even on the marginal films.
Exhibits 42-45 outline the average release costs per film we estimate were incurred by the
MPAA member companies, which represent statistics from seven of the nine major studios,
including Disney, Fox, MGM, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros., and Universal and do not include studio subsidiaries such as Sony Classics and Paramount Classics.

The average cost to produce a film intended for theatrical release in 2011 increased to $138.9
million, a 10% upswing. Since 2000, the average film cost by the MPAA members has increased 69.2%, which compares with a 32.8% increase in the domestic box office and 11.4%
growth in the domestic home video marketplace.

In part, we believe the long-term increases in film product and distribution spending relate to
the addition and expansion of new revenue streams and the willingness of some studio/producers to pay significant premiums and participations to the “A” talent pool to ensure
success or to open a film strongly. We do not envision a scenario that will meaningfully reduce the spend per film in production or distribution away from the intermediate-term benefits
of the transition to digital distribution. Dollar benefits, reduced overhead, incremental 3D contributions, and positive demand elements in the international market have given some studios
a small level of justification for the increases in average spending per film. Overhead and output reduction should begin to chip away at overall average costs in the next year or two.

Advertising costs for the MPAA members have become a more significant portion of total
film costs. Average per-film advertising costs for MPAA member companies were up an estimated 10% in 2011 as heavier marketing campaigns from high-profile films were propelled
by higher TV ad costs. Certainly, utilizing social networking sites has been helpful for many
films, especially in the films targeting the teen/twenties demographic.
Studios are allocating an increasing level of total film costs to advertising and promotional
expenses because of the need to create a franchise effect by opening a film “big.” Increasingly, films are opening globally, so the advertising footprint is expanding significantly. The
multiplier effect down the distribution pipeline of a big opening can be substantial, while the
impact of a moderate or average opening for an event film can be devastating and usually
leads to a very short window at the theater – four weeks and often fewer than 100 days, before
home video release.
We think advertising spending will be up again in 2012 as aggregate media buys are going to
continue to pursue gross ratings points in a meaningfully higher-cost environment for advertising. With television upfront pricing in 2012 likely to be up by mid-single-digits and scatter
pricing up in the double-digit range for national spots, we doubt fewer dollars will be spent on
prerelease film advertising in the next year.

The print cost for the top films in release in 2011 was down as digital delivery becomes a
measurable part of the distribution plan. The substitution of virtual print fees (studios have
had a free ride digitally for the past couple of years while DCIP was getting funded) is growing as digital projection installations increase as a percentage of total screens. The average
screens per release has increased meaningfully over the past seven years as studios push for
bigger openings to capture consumer dollars on the first weekend, even though this has often
led to poor advertising dollar returns when theatrical film rental revenues have not exceeded
the advertising spend to launch the film. Unfortunately, some studio marketing executives believe they can buy a theatrical audience through advertising, even if they use the rationale of
its being pre-advertising for the home video marketplace. Hopefully, the benefits of digital
projection will decrease this expense item over the next few years.

The Release Window
Reality around release windows needs to be revisited as territorial behavior and negotiating
positions perhaps overstate the opportunity of a premium-VOD period before home video release. The corollary is that the major studios continue to evaluate other ways to leverage the
massive advertising spend incurred upfront on less successful film releases by looking at
shortening the time until the home video release. The 117-day average window is down from
the prior year (please refer to the "Home Video" section of this report for a more detailed look
at this issue).
Studios crave dual utilization of media spend to rationalize escalating advertising costs. This
is certainly a major motivation to shrink the release window between theatrical and home

video platforms, which also helps fight piracy and return “fast cash.” Studios will shrink windows where it makes sense, but we do not sense an abandonment of key selling periods for
packaged media to simply move up the clock for the top quartile of films. What is happening,
however, is the studios are continuing to push the new exclusivity period for sell-through
(packaged, VOD, or EST) and push back the video rental availability.
The first experiments of a premium pay per view window, 60 days post theatrical release for a
$25-$30 one-time access charge, had fairly disappointing results. The knee-jerk reaction by
many at the time was that this hurts both theatrical and home video. The top 25 releases in
2010 and 2011, however, generated approximately 97%-98% of domestic box office gross in
the first eight weeks. Studios are not going to embrace a premium-VOD window unless it
adds incremental dollars, and we note the experiment was run with “average” performing
films. Studios have no motivation to trade $2 for $1. Beyond the concept, the splits (probably
70%-30% favoring the studios) over delivery pipelines, the security, the accounting, the talent
participations, demographic who would pay $25-$50, exclusion of 3D films for years, streaming picture quality, contractually exclusivity to theaters, and impact on revenues downstream
will all need to be quantified.
The Mega Opening
As shown in Exhibit 46, the opening weekend performance of a theatrical film has grown in
importance and size. For films opening in 500 or more theaters, we estimate that, on average,
roughly 32% of their domestic box office gross is now being generated in the first weekend.
As opening weekend revenues have increased, subsequent weekend revenues have decreased,
and it is now typical for a film, even a strong opener, to experience a second-weekend dropoff of 45%-65%. This compares with the typical 30%-35% drop-offs experienced just six to
eight years ago. The financial press has historically used the second weekend declines to denote a lack of consumer interest or a film’s success when often that decline is more of a reflection that opening weekend screen counts were sufficient to satisfy initial demand and the
next event film released the following weekend captures the big audience.

*Based on films opening in 500+ theaters.
The average number of theaters in which a film opens decreased 1.0% in 2011 on a 0.2% increase in the total number of domestic screens. The decline in the number of films released in
the mid-budget to art house specialty film pool has eased some of the pressure for screens, perhaps even creating an over-screen scenario in off-peak periods (February to March and SeptemA member of BMO

ber to October). Nonperforming films are increasingly pulled from the vast majority of their initial screens at the end of the initial three- or four-week run. Exhibit 47 details the increases over
the past 20 years in the average number of theaters in which a film is released.

*Based on top 50 films with openings in more than 500 theatres. Percentages listed indicate year-overyear changes.
Over the past ten years, we estimate that the average number of theaters per release has increased to 3,463 from 2,996, a 15.6% increase. The industry’s screen-to-film dynamics appear
to be in balance, other than in the case of 3D-enabled screens. Most of the major films released annually now carry “firm term” settlements negotiated in advance of a film’s release.
Although there are plenty of screens—we have not heard of a major release not getting
enough screens—the changing dynamics of the business may make it more difficult to get the
premium screens at some theater locations (most seats, better sound, and better screen) or to
keep the best screens after two to four weeks.

Looking Ahead to 2012-2013
Exhibit 49 lists the films that we estimate will have the top box office appeal for 2012. We
project the 2012 box office will see a 3%-4% increase in revenue and a 0%-1% attendance increase on a 2%-3% or so increase in ticket prices. The first-quarter box office finished up
23.4%. Summer visibility on a comparative basis remains less robust from our early projections, while the fourth quarter should be up nicely. The best of the summer films are likely to
be The Dark Knight Rises (Batman) (TWX), The Amazing Spider-Man (SNE), and The Avengers (DIS). The fourth quarter is gaining better visibility as film promotion and awareness
gain traction. The top five anticipated films at this time in the fourth quarter are The Hobbit:
An Unexpected Journey (TWX), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two (LGF), Skyfall
(Bond) (SNE), Rise of the Guardians (DWA), and World War 2 (VIAB). The last installment
of Twilight and the prequel The Hobbit should give a nice boost against an easy comp.

Theatrical: Trends and Perspectives
A member of BMO

2011 saw theatrical films hold the $10.0 billion level established in 2009’s record breaking year, but overall, the box office dipped 3.7% owing to weaker film product in the
fourth quarter and a difficult first quarter comparison against the prior year. 3D ticket
sales were approximately $1.83 billion, or about 18% of industry admission revenue, a
trend that should improve some in 2012.

We expect the eight major studios and independents to release more films in 2012 as
DreamWorks (Spielberg), MGM (resuming production, coming out of bankruptcy), Relativity, and Summit (now owned by LGF) add a meaningful number of films for wide release.

The animation business is healthy with 3D animated product adding incremental dollar
contributions. The best of 2012 is expected to be: Madagascar 3 (DWA, June 8, 2012),
Brave (DIS, June 22, 2012), Ice Age: Continental Drift (NWSA, July 13, 2012), Wreck It
Ralph (DIS, November 2, 2012), and Rise of the Guardians (DWA, November 21, 2012).
There were 11 animated films released in 2008 with 1 in 3D, 13 in 2009 with 8 3D films,
8 films in 2010 with each in 3D, and 12 in 2011, 10 of which were 3D.

3D up-charges globally remain robust (see Exhibit 52) as consumer receptivity for most
3D-formatted films is finding close to 60% of ticket sales to the premium format.

There is a growing trend to open major tent pole films day-and-date worldwide. This has
been driven by advertising, piracy, and global cross-promotional opportunities. Gone are
the days when almost all films skipped a season to open internationally three to six
months after their North American debuts. It is not unheard of to have a film open in selected foreign territories before its domestic release (How to Train Your Dragon in Russia in 2010, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in Europe in 2011). We like that studios are thinking globally, even in a split rights world.

We do not believe the film cost statistics published fully reflect the true cost of production and distribution because of the exclusion of participations obligations, which are increasingly being structured to reduce upfront capital expenditures or accommodate talent
demand. Participation allocations of 10%-25% or more of adjusted gross revenues are not
unusual for major event films and can add tens of millions of dollars to the film’s cost basis, even if they are not accounted for as part of a film’s publicized direct negative costs.

The 3D age has arrived. It brings about the ability of studios and exhibitors to tier ticket
pricing, currently roughly $3.00-plus per ticket above established levels for non-3D films.
Special event pricing can be even higher as highly popular programming like the Metropolitan Opera can command a $10-$25 per ticket premium. We have seen little pricing
resistance by consumers on up-charges for 3D at the $3.00 level. As with every technological innovation, some will choose not to buy a 3D ticket because they prefer the 2D
experience.

The international markets have shown meaningful box office growth over the past seven
years. Although currency fluctuations and barriers to entry in certain territories can add
Financial Group
78

BMO Capital Markets
volatility to the international box office, we believe that the majority of growth in theatrical film revenue over the next several years will come from these markets. At this point,
the international box office is running at about 2.3x the North American level (see Exhibit 27).

Recent announcements from China (increasing the quota of US films to 34 and upping
the distributors' share of box office to 25% from the mid-teens) should improve the business to some extent. China has become the second-largest foreign market for US films
(behind Japan) at $2.02 billion (up 35% in 2011) from barely a top 20 market five years
ago. Exhibit 51 visualizes the growth in the Chinese exhibition industry since 2006.
Clearly, China is an important source of growth even beyond the theatrical window.


While theatrical-to-home video release windows have stabilized near the 120-day range,
some distributors have tested shorter windows (Disney tested a 12-week window with Alice in Wonderland in 2010). No studios followed with a similar test in 2011.

Product placements are once again becoming a more visible (faddish?) component of the
film business. Look for increasing contributions from the interactive game segment for
high-profile animated and action films. For the most part, these deals are high guaranteed
payments with the potential for overages. Toy manufacturers seem to have the greatest
volatility in results – the peril of the pendulum: too much or too little and no solution!

Film advertising costs will go up in 2012 on a per film basis for those targeting a specific
gross rating point level as CPM/scatter pricing remains robust. Print ads are shrinking
rapidly, especially away from the big cities. Website, interactive, display, and other new
media platforms are commanding all, and often more, of the savings from declining print
spending. We would not be surprised to see high-single-digit increases in measures in
2012 given the scatter market environment. Social networks and other platforms can take
most films only so far.

3D conversion of existing 2D films for those films that were highly successful in a 2D
version should continue over the next few years. The Lion King generated $168.5 million
worldwide at the box office during its reissue in September 2011. Other reissues in 2012

are Beauty and the Beast ($47.5 million to date), Star Wars ($43.3 million to date), The
Titanic ($27.8 million to date), and Finding Nemo. This could create a whole new level of
profitability from captive libraries if theatrical economics can drive other ancillary revenues as well. When will the first 3D film cable network emerge? Probably not for a
while.

A member of BMO
Look for premium pay television (HBO, Showtime, Starz) contracts to reduce per film
payments as contracts roll off. The perceived value has been reduced as sell-through,
digital, VOD, and streaming platforms have more extensively provided films at the consumer level. Conversely, cord cutting may occur to a modest level, a couple percentage
points perhaps, as a young demographic recreates the premium pay offerings through
other platforms. Premium pay channels are creating much more original programming
(series and specials), meaningfully lowering, we believe, the consequences of very modest cord cutting.

Home Video
Chaos theory squared may well be an apt quantitative and qualitative description of the home
video industry. Investors and companies are enduring myriad combinations and permutations
of technology and capital deployment. Perhaps investors would do well to redefine home
video to now include all the pathways to the consumer’s filmed entertainment access apart
from a theater screen and seat. When home video is defined one dimensionally, as in a DVD,
it would not make anyone’s top ten lists of favorite businesses owing to the secular and cyclical changes of the past three years. Taken three dimensionally, the business is transitioning in
a somewhat orderly fashion now, and digital ports are gaining traction nicely, although they
are still down in the aggregate by $3.5 billion or so.
There is going to be no shortage of nonlinear providers of filmed entertainment (Netflix,
Hulu, Apple, Amazon, Roku, Vudu, X-Box, etc.) and seemingly no shortage of capital to buy
and build consumer loyalty and capture a growing piece of the consumer spend on filmed entertainment, so those who may feel/think the industry is a graveyard should keep the big picture in mind.
State of the Industry
We do not see statistics that lead to a conclusion or conviction that consumers are watching
fewer films at home or elsewhere (office, iPhone, auto, plane, train, hospital, class). However,
packaged home video sales are clearly lower, particularly once the ranking gets past the top
ten sellers for both cyclical and secular (new portals or the move to lower-priced rentals at
$1.00 per day or subscription services that cost less than $9 per month) reasons. The impact is
real in dollar terms on packaged media, and the cyclical versus secular debate may not draw
to a close for five years or more. The biggest unknown will be the impact of UltraViolet and
cloud-based device mobility. We are not convinced at this point that cloud-based mobility
will jump-start consumer buying habits.
Despite the new video portals available to consumers and shifts in consumption habits, the
home video marketplace continues to be the largest proportional contributor to the filmed entertainment industry’s profitability. The composition of where those dollars are coming from
is changing meaningfully, but that should not be as worrisome as if those dollars were going
away.
Studios/film producers have accelerated their research and development experimentation with
many of the digital platforms and content aggregators. We remain impressed that the repackaging of libraries for digital aggregators is reestablishing library values.
Industry revenues were down an estimated 2.3% (sales down double digits and rentals down
low-single digits) to $18.0 billion in 2011, roughly the same level as 2001 when DVD sales
had just begun to accelerate on captive library sales, TV-to-DVD became a revenue contributor, and the “rental” business was beginning to be eclipsed by the sell-through business. The
video rental business on all platforms in 2011 accounted for $7.5 billion (down 1%) of the
$18.0 billion total market, with video on demand (VOD) up 7% to $1.9 billion. Absent VOD,
rentals were down 8%, although the 31 percentage point gain in kiosk sales in 2011 carried an
almost 40% discount per rental transaction versus the traditional brick-and-mortar store.

With the new definition of home video as a multi-pronged business, one that includes the
emerging downloadable and streaming platforms, the business model is a little healthier than
many suspect. One can easily argue the nomenclature of “declining growth,” “mature industry,” and “cannibalized revenues” as reality, but at the end of 2011, it was an $18 billion industry with an improving demand curve even if sales of new titles have come off peaks (platform transition to Blu-Ray and digital formats, and lower promotional pricing by big-box
merchants, etc.) and library monetization in the DVD platform can be spoken of in the past
tense. Blu-Ray has provided a modestly improved in-home viewing experience that can only
help the sales or rental revenue base as the home theater becomes more sophisticated with
HDTV, 3D TV, and the like, especially where quality of video, and to a lesser extent, sound
are consumer choice variables when utilizing new technologies to enhance the watching experience. Home video is quietly evolving to a platform with a growing percentage of revenues
coming from the digital world of electronic sell-through (EST) and streaming.
The DVD platform produced three unprecedented revenue streams that helped drive incremental studio profits from 2001 to 2008. Captive libraries generated more than $6 billion in
profits for the studios by our estimation as the studios’ libraries (some 120,000 titles have
been re-released from television, film, and VHS platforms to date) were re-monetized in the
DVD format. Alongside the film product re-release, was a second revenue stream counted in
home video revenues, the TV-to-DVD product, which compiled DVD box sets of many of the
successful television series from the 1950s through the 2000s. The TV-to-DVD business generated close to $2.0 billion in annual sales during its peak years, although it is only producing
about 20% of that peak on an annual basis. Given the exceptionally low manufacturing costs
of the BD/DVD platforms of less than $0.60 per DVD unit and less than $1.00 now for Bluray, the economics have been very favorable for content owners at multiple consumer price
points.
For the most part, the legacy libraries have now been monetized at the $3.00-$10.00 gross
wholesale unit price levels for first cycle product and $24.00-$36.00 gross wholesale price
levels for boxed TV season series. We believe the incremental upside from captive libraries in
both film and television is behind the industry relative to the BD/DVD packaged platform and
is one of the major causes of the downward pressure on industry revenues to the $18 billion
level. Blu-Ray is gaining traction in unit sales (115 million domestic units in 2011, up 35%)
and revenues ($2.2 billion domestic revenues in 2011, up 27%). On a global basis, Blu-Ray
unit sales were up 45% over 2010 results to 234 million. As Blu-Ray hardware costs have
come down, adoption levels are escalating alongside disc sales with an estimated 13 million
standalone units sold in 2011, bringing total BD households to 40.4 million domestically. The
technology is now coming down to the $100 and lower level on laptop and desktop computers, which should boost utilization slightly.
A third revenue stream is generated by new film releases and current television season releases. As home penetration of the DVD platform reached the saturation point (see Exhibit 53
below) a few years ago, demand has predictably leveled off. DVD pricing levels have remained firm at the $16-$18 gross wholesale level for most frontline films, although BD gross
wholesale unit prices have come down to the $18-$22 level depending on premium packaging
that often includes a DVD and digital version. The demand curve has fallen into a fairly predictable buy-rent pattern for consumers, although the economy took its toll on the sell-through
market in 2009-2010, and certainly digital offerings have become preferable for a growing

percentage of the population. Top movies (as noted in Exhibits 62-65) continue to generate
sales in excess of seven million units, and unit sales down the film revenue chain are also
showing significant sales.
Household penetration of DVD/BD player is creeping into the mid-90% range and the transition to Blu-ray is accelerating as noted earlier. Exhibits 53 and 54 detail the growth traction of
the disc platforms.

Clearly, over the past 25 years, packaged home video has become the studios’ single-largest
profit center for films and an equally large part of the budgeting mindset relative to the production budgets and talent participation costs. Even with declining packaged media sales, it
remains the top revenue generator for studios, clearing over 35%-40% of revenues. We expect
home video’s share of the film-revenue pie to be stable in 2012 as EST and higher BD pricing
overcome much of the more modest decline in DVD sales. The number of brick-and-mortar
outlets is shrinking rapidly, as Blockbuster, Movie Gallery, and others shutter stores in bankruptcy or lease lapses over time. Blockbuster store closings have now taken the chain down to
the 1,200 stores level from the 5,000 level seven or eight years ago. The brick-and-mortar rentailers are losing meaningful market share as online subscription services (dominated by Netflix) pick up more subscribers and the kiosk business capitalizes on its broadened store presence as a readily accepted low-cost distribution point for consumer rentals. Retailers such as
Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Amazon, and Costco continue to account for more than 75% of
the packaged media sell-through market, with Walmart commanding close to a 35%-40%
market share. However, it is readily evident that shelf space for packaged media is shrinking
and promotional pricing and advertising is much more limited, hindering growth. The one
wrinkle could be mass merchants such as Walmart that are testing the idea of becoming the
location to upload existing DVD/BD to the UltraViolet cloud-based storage access portal. It is
too early to handicap the utilization quotient for this now. Importantly for the studios and distributors, the rising number of distribution choices has had the effect of significantly increasing the consumer’s home entertainment expenditure budget as opposed to simply seeing new
platforms cannibalize the existing revenue streams.
Consumer spending as a whole on filmed entertainment was respectable in 2011. The composition of the revenue pie is modestly changing, presenting studios and end point distributors with
interesting opportunities and challenges for growing market share and refocusing on maximizing
revenues from new distribution platforms such as BD premium packaging, VOD, streaming, and
downloading. Revenue declines in packaged media are changing the film budgeting process on
expectations of lower contributions from the platform, compressed over the next two or three
years even as new digital platforms gain traction and add meaningful dollars.
The industry is also evolving in terms of its delivery formats as Netflix picks up more subscribers (post a misstep or two in 2H11), Amazon capitalizes on its prime base, and Hulu
Plus, Vudu, Cinema Now, and X-Box gain traction. Netflix has taken the lead in integrating
the streaming business model. Redbox has joined the package media fray in the low-priced
kiosk world, which is picking up an extraordinary amount of market share, even with a 28-day
delay in availability on many new titles. The subscription model of online streaming may
meaningfully change the home video rental paradigm, helping consumers capture the convenience of online/in-store rentals as well as mirroring the old HBO model of aggregating content
at one price point, albeit on a modest lag. The knock on the streaming vendors is the age of
the titles in their library (most of them have been around the block a few times!), availability
of only a portion of their titles at any one time, and some restriction on availability in HD.
That said, the streaming sources should capture a growing audience when navigation guides
improve and the home interconnect between the Internet and television becomes more commonplace over the next few years. Access speeds, video quality, and DRM are factors in the
streaming equation as well. On the horizon though may well be the cost component, in which
high-speed data providers may implement gigabyte limits and/or incremental cost for overages. Such a new cost to consumers would be a headwind.

To look at the growing consumer utilization of delivery formats, we have included statistics
on platform access in 2011 and 2010. The following exhibits detail the video rental share by
type. Kiosks continue to capture an ever-growing piece of the pie while store volumes continue to drop.

We are impressed by the market share gains that kiosk players such as Redbox have taken in
the past three years, picking up much of the capacity freed up by rentailer store closures
(Blockbuster, Movie Gallery, locally owned, etc.). Cable/telcos are also taking a measurable
share of home video dollars via VOD, especially in the HDTV households. Traditional instore market share will likely decline further and at an accelerated pace for the next year or
two owing to bankruptcy economics, store closings and as new access portals become more
familiar to consumers. Fortunately for studios/distributors, those dollars are likely to stay in
the home video pie, even if shifted around. The lingering question of profitability via nonpackage sales or revenue sharing remains, although we sense investors have reduced contribution expectations meaningfully.
The Blu-Ray Platform
There are three primary dimensions for the consumer of the BD platform. First, HDTV
growth is a driver for hardware upgrades to BD players and software to capture the full advantage of the in-home video experience. The Digital Entertainment Group reported that 27
million HDTVs were purchased in 2011, with penetration now at 74.5 million households.
Second, few expect the massively profitable (at least $6 billion) replacement cycle the industry experienced when the DVD platform emerged to replace the VHS format to be replicated
for BD. The backwards compatibility of BD allows DVD play, making a reformatting of
home libraries far less necessary (although it appears early DVD titles do not play on all BD
players). Some may choose to add specific titles that an HDTV can make more enjoyable, but
we are doubtful this will represent much incremental revenue.
Third, new release inventories in the BD format will be balanced in the sell-through market
similar to what takes place with DVDs. Manufacturing costs per BD unit are about $1.00 versus less than $0.60 per packaged DVD unit. As BD hardware penetration grows and unit sales
increase proportionately with penetration levels, costs will likely come down toward the
$0.60-$0.75 level. Many studios are releasing combo or premium packaging that gives consumers BD, digital, and DVD versions for $2.00-$3.00 or so above single BD pricing, but
given the $0.60 or so cost of a DVD and pennies for digital versions, this enables an even
higher profit margin per unit. Premium packaging (BD, DVD, and digital copy) is providing a
$2.00-$3.00 gross wholesale uplift on a portion of unit sales for higher profile titles. For most
studios this would be the tie in to UltraViolet.
Blu-Ray players priced at mass-market consumer levels, essentially at $80 or less, are now
readily available and most have built in marketing/software connectivity to streaming services
such as Netflix and wireless connectivity to the Internet.
Spending Patterns
Exhibit 57 outlines the changes seen in the primary video distribution platforms. It is easy to
see the drop-off in total revenues the past five years, most of which came from the sales, not
the rental, side of the business. In 2011, domestic disc rentals were down 8%, while sales fell
11%. Blu-Ray rental should ramp up to the $2-$3 billion level and perhaps double that within
another two years as the DVD platform concedes to the new platform. The introduction of
digital distribution (VOD, streaming, electronic) to the home video market is beginning to
make its mark.

The domestic box office continues to show gains in dollars versus packaged media video sales
and physical disc rentals. We think that as digital connectivity grows, the sale and rental sides
of the business should show an improved ratio.

Exhibit 59 charts home video rental and sales revenues for the past ten years. The acceleration
in sales in previous years was directly attributable to the sell-through pricing employed by
almost every major studio of roughly $16-$18 gross wholesale for front-line DVD titles and
as low as $3 for third- or fourth-cycle DVD releases. The phenomena of some mass retailers
selling front-line DVDs for as low as $9.99 to drive foot traffic does not change the gross
wholesale price of $16-$18 per unit paid almost universally by video retailers. The willingness of many mass merchants to effect profitless transactions to drive foot traffic is slowing
significantly and was one of the aggregate causes of revenue declines for 2009-2011.

We readily admit that there are a variety of sources of varying industry statistics related to the
home video rental and sell-through business (SNL Kagan, Nielsen Media Research, Adams
IHS, DEG, Home Media Magazine, Rentrak, etc.), some of which are within a couple of percentage points of each other for the variety of published home video statistics. We have endeavored to use estimates that are balanced within the statistical spectrum. The trends observed using any of the credible sources typically reveal the same macro picture even if the
dollar amounts vary: the rental market has leveled off with subscription and lower-cost kiosk
models growing, while the sell-through market has seen a meaningful decline on secular
changes and growing preference for digital access/storage. Blu-Ray is slowly capturing packaged media buyers, helped in large part by consistent sub-$100 hardware pricing and growing
use of BD drives in laptops.

In our view, the decline in consumer rental spending on an absolute basis is threefold: 1) kiosks are turning $4.00 rentals into $1 per day or slightly over per $2 transaction on average;
2) streaming-VOD is replacing both physical rental and sales models but is more heavily taking share from the sales side; and 3) EST options are taking business away at least at the margin.
Consumers are transitioning to the high-definition format (Blu-Ray), a desirable companion to
the home theater and high-definition television world as well as the emerging 3D world. BluRay also has the benefit for studios/distributors of making piracy more difficult and costly.
Each high-definition disk carries a manufacturing cost of less than $1.00 as opposed to the
$0.60 or so cost of the DVD product. It should also be noted that high-definition movies run
closer to 20 gigabytes versus the 3-5 gigabytes of the standard DVD. Utilization of MPEG-4
versus the current MPEG-2 technology should bring the amount of gigabytes per film down
significantly.

There are not many positives for the video rentailers, and we are not sure that the economics
will change appreciably, even after the bankruptcy process for some, because the financial
difficulty is not solely driven by rent expense or competition by other bricks-and-mortar rentailers. The problem is being driven by reduced demand as consumers choose other access
points. Managing or balancing dual formats (DVD and BD) has added another necessary set
of skills to store inventory management, one that is very challenging demographically as well.
Adding to the pain is the 28-day sell-through window preceding availability for video rental
that studios have negotiated with kiosk and online dominators (Redbox, Netflix, et al.). While
we do not expect sell-through to be healthy or robust, the delay to availability is unlikely to
help push rental dollars higher, especially as EST gains traction over the next few years. Fortunately or unfortunately, the industry has trained consumers that titles will be available
weekend one, which may cause confusion as advertising promotes availability, but only in
sell-through.
Exhibit 61 details some of the demand economics of the home video business. In one sense,
the business has diverted from typical consumer economics, as gross wholesale pricing has
not really come down for software in its first cycle of release. As the industry moves forward,
it faces the migration to electronic sell-through, which is unlikely to keep the studio economics as lucrative as in the past. This will provide meaningful challenges to the video rentailers
if they are singularly tied to one end-point distribution channel, a factor that we believe has
motivated Netflix, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Microsoft, and others to invest meaningfully
in the EST business. The installed base of BD/DVD includes computers, which drives the installed base above total number of US households.

The utilization of the Internet as one of a household’s access points to enjoy filmed entertainment is one of the emerging choices for consumers in this digital world that falls under the
broad definition of home video. While it is a small portion of the home video business today,
it will gain traction over the next few years as the technology for the television, navigation
guides, delivery speeds, and bandwidth grow. It can be a rental or sell-through business all
under one umbrella. A potential limiting factor or headwind is the growing chatter among cable system operators/telcos that charging for bandwidth is coming, as it already has in Canada. Avid users of the streaming touch point can hit gigabyte targets relatively quickly and
begin accumulating fairly high usage charges. The value proposition dissipates pretty quickly
if or when these access charges are implemented.
Studios are attracted to the IP platform as it potentially disintermediates aggregators and
eliminates a cost center. Conversely, piracy, business investment in systems and technology,
and managing the operational logistics must provide improved returns before another attempt,
either individually or collectively, can be made at the concept. It may well be that Disney’s
Keychest and DECE’s UltraViolet (Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem) (comprising
most of the other studios and interested parties) will be the gateways to the platform.
Top Home Videos
The following tables outline the top home video titles released from 2008 to 2011 by total
first-cycle sell-through revenue. The top ten titles in 2011 on average underperformed the
2010 top ten titles primarily owing to lower sell-through from DVD. The home video business
may be facing some of the same competitive release date pressure that movies face in the
peak summer and holiday periods.

The Home Video Release Window
There have been significant headlines and headaches about collapsing release windows, especially as the technology has arrived in the home to meaningfully alter the DVD/BD buy-in.
The following tables show the changes in the release windows over the past 12 years. It is obvious that the release window has shrunk between theater release and home video release over
the past ten years or so. However, over the same time frame the average film has opened on
roughly 50% more screens and films released have generated over 95% of their revenues in
the first eight weeks, making the argument somewhat moot, in our opinion.
We expect the theatrical market to remain the most important promotional platform to drive
revenue for home video and all EST/streaming portals. While much was made in the past year
or so about the potential of simultaneous releases (theatrical, home video, and VOD), we see
almost no evidence of this in any mainline film and little intent on the part of studios to turn
customers who pay them two or three times (theater, DVD, premium-pay services like HBO
or Starz) into customers who buy the digital rights to the film on day one. Although this might
sound good, it is not yet ready for mainstream. Most theater chain operators even have understandings with film distributors that now have protected the theatrical window, in terms of
days or dollars, from home video, regardless of format.

While there may be little change in the release window for theatrical film to home video release, the interval between packaged media and VOD release has reversed itself, reflecting the
studios view of home video rental economics. The VOD window went to an average of 17
days prior to the DVD release in 2011. VOD is often available in fewer days than home video
rentals for most of the video rentailers that use either subscription- or Internet-based services.

New Distribution Channels
The major entertainment conglomerates play multiple roles in the content and distribution
world. The majors (Disney, News Corp, Comcast, Sony, Time Warner, and Viacom) spend
$1-$2 billion annually creating theatrical and television product that is the life source of all
film content that finds its way to the variety of touch points, both new and old, and price
points that consumers access. Those touch points and price points have been expanding massively in the past five years and have created a “strategic era” for all involved. The major studios control copyrights and/or distribution rights to over 85% of the film and television content created over the past 75 years and are vigilant gate keepers over all the pipelines to
consumers.
New film product is available to consumers in a well-engineered and evolving fashion that is
designed to maximize revenues and splits to the creator and copyright controller’s greatest
advantage. Even in digitally enabled content, film sizes of 1-3 gigabytes for DVD quality
make large-scale portability (read: piracy) problematic for most consumers, especially those
who do not want to watch a film or television show on their desktop or laptop screen.
As new distribution touch points have emerged from the experimentation to the exploitation
stage in the revolution and evolution of technology (devices and delivery pipelines), content
creators and owners have not ceded control or access without compensation through a highly
legalized licensing process. In our opinion, there are no technologically innovative touch
points for film content that have the economic or consumer-driven advantage to neutralize or
eliminate the content owners’ leverage.
The methods of filmed entertainment consumption are changing, and have been for over 20
years, but the overall demand for film product remains as healthy as ever. In the end, no one is
receiving content for free and the studio providers are still getting paid one way or another for
the most part. We view the new delivery methods for film and television content as complementary, not substitutes, in most cases. Many of the content providers are also end point distributors to one or more touch points, only serving to enhance the studios’ leverage and control. The following chart details studio revenue per movie transaction.

The entertainment industry is facing massive and potentially positive change as the nextgeneration technologies such as VOD, OTT aggregators, DVR, and streaming grow in availability, household penetration, and consumer utilization. The pie seems to grow each year as
new portals appear. This is not to say that one platform cannot be supplanted, such as what
Redbox kiosks did to Blockbuster. Blockbuster could likely have fared better versus Netflix
because 75% of US households are not Netflix subscribers and would still have rented videos
if a much cheaper and perhaps more convenient alternative had not arrived.
Enabling extended digital rights to the consumer level so that consumers can access their purchased film content across multiple platforms without incurring multiple or per use fees, is
certainly now on the horizon. Consumers are clearly willing to buy or subscribe to the new
and emerging distribution pipes and platforms, which create enormous opportunity for those
that engage, create, and control content in an innovative fashion.
There will be access everywhere, eventually. There is currently no killer app in the
OTT/digital revolution. There are many ways to access content and many aggregators, which
for the most part, are repacking film and television content already played or available elsewhere. Exhibits 69 and 70 detail projected OTT video delivery. We note that it will take most
of the rest of the decade for online television viewing to obtain a 50% penetration level. The
old adage that availability does not equal utilization should be seriously considered when
making investment decisions.

Consumer demand for filmed entertainment product remains relatively healthy as new distribution platforms extend the shelf life of filmed entertainment and expand the revenue cycles
for content on a variety of formats. Those who have voiced a view that film library values
have meaningfully diminished are finding that new content aggregators are paying significant
dollars for library product. To wit, the EPIX-Netflix deal provides $960 million over five
years. Clearly the adoption of iCasting, streaming, downloads, HDTV, digital 3D, among others, via subscription or a la carte, is setting the stage for a new round of growth that, for the
most part, extends the profit generating capability of the created product.
What copyright owners (principally the major studios) are experiencing is new money being
paid for library titles as the Netflixes and Apples of the new delivery/distribution points bring
new global customers and help create new product windows. The beauty and benefit of this
part of the ecosystem is that much, if not most, of the film and television libraries already
have been amortized. The margins on most of these portals or individual transactions are
among the highest on a studio's P&L because of pre-expensing of product development and
low incremental costs for digital delivery.
We remain confident that the new platforms will expand the overall economic rewards for
content owners, albeit creating angst with some inevitable displacement. This should further
improve the financial profile of the business for the major media conglomerates, many of
whom own both content and a variety of end-point distribution channels. One of the greatest
benefits of the evolution away from physical distribution aside from manufacturing and distribution cost savings is the diminishing role of the middle man/aggregator. It costs between
$30,000 and $50,000 to digitize a film so that it is compliant with the various digital platforms. Direct consumer sell points/portals are arriving and picking up some momentum sales
wise, which will continue to be engineered in a way to maximize titles and dollar sales.
Digital Rights Management (DRM) will capture significant management and intellectual capital to master and monetize in a manner that can both protect from piracy and provide portability. The initial conceptualization of Disney’s Keychest or DECE’s UltraViolet (virtual library
in the sky) is a one-stop store-and-retrieve for digital content on multiple platforms. These options will play broadly over the next few years and will certainly take a very visible role in the
digital distribution/consumer end game. At the fledging stage, UltraViolet, and soon to be
launched Disney/Apple’s Keychest, should ultimately shake out a good portion of the fringe
players in content aggregation over the next few years.
While there has been very little movement in the theatrical to home video release windows,
we have seen 30- to 60-day exclusivity for sell-through emerge and the almost complete
elimination of the home video to VOD/digital rental window.

VOD/streaming/subscription, etc. services are gaining traction, but the studios are still getting
paid! VOD is finally gaining traction beyond events such as sports and concerts as consumers
pushed the buy button 25% more in 2011. Increasingly, the convenience, HD quality, closure
of many rentailers, delays in subscription availability, and broader studio offerings are enticing the push-button option.
Every major studio is experimenting in the digital world as the secular and cyclical changes
occurring with consumers evolve. Most content owners have not been hasty to make deals beyond two to three years with any of the content aggregators, in part because of existing deals
and in part because access and business models of the digital world are still evolving.
We do not characterize the success quotient as high relative to every new media opportunity,
but neither do we see excessive capital spent just to have a presence as smart or providing a
ROI that is advantageous. We believe significant attention is being paid to the learning curve
by the major studios, especially as revenue generation becomes a more visible part of the goal
of the major entertainment players. Keeping distribution deals short, picking different providers for licensing deals to keep the playing field full, and experimenting moderately-toaggressively with new devices and delivery systems are all tactics being employed.
In an attempt to not only protect, but also enhance profits, the major studios are shifting window access (28 days or more depending on pricing) and shrinking VOD releases to cable/telco providers to day-and-date with packaged media releases as VOD has gained traction
for movie rentals.
Content creation is a capital-intensive proposition, and the studios are unlikely to be squeezed
out of the value chain. Certainly the newbies in the distribution world, such as Netflix and
Hulu, have determined that creating original, and hopefully compelling, content with episodic
television offerings (House of Cards, Lilyhammer, Arrested Development for Netflix, Battleground for Hulu) can add to consumer perceptions and the value proposition, bringing a

stickiness to subscription services. Web television, such as YouTube Channels, is experimental and may indeed be able to create a small handful of series that garner a loyal following.
We are just as confident that their success, whenever it might occur, is highly unlikely to lead
to a measurable cord-cutting migration at either the cable/satellite/telco or premium-pay level.
The challenge for the newbies is that the cost of these series has been running between
$750,000 and $2 million per episode, putting them in the strategic investment column rather
than profit column for the foreseeable future.
User generated content (UGC), at an earlier date thought by some to be a substitute for studio
created content, usually lacks the creative resources or production expertise to appeal to the
mass market or build a large enough or loyal fan base that can be monetized either by advertisers or subscribers at profitable levels. This is an enormous barrier to entry that would rarely,
if ever, have a financial impact on the larger or even large or small independent film producers. While the suggestion is ever present that YouTube, Facebook, and many others are formidable forces today and in the future, their core business model relates to the narrow band of
social media, which is highly unlikely to become an alternative to established distribution portals. If anything, they will become inexpensive promotional platforms for many studios to exploit. Our view: thanks for the platform, all you social networks!
The filmed entertainment content providers, primarily the studios, will take first place in the
content and delivery conundrum, in our opinion. As the entertainment pie gets bigger, the
adoption of new delivery methods grows, and filmed entertainment libraries become
monetized once again, the content providers will see their profits grow collectively as we
view the majority of new distribution portals as complements, not substitutes. That is not to
say, however, that some platforms will not be retired in the delivery shift and some may see
further declines in revenues. As a whole, we view the revenue generating opportunities for
film in the digital world growing over the long term, especially in the international marketplace over the next five years. As owners of the content, the studios have the ability to protect
and control their filmed entertainment, and without a large scale new entrant coming into the
content producing world, the studios will remain the primary source of content. In addition,
studios retain the control to design revenues and splits for their content to their best advantage; without the studios’ filmed entertainment libraries or production and development of
new entertainment content, there is little left for consumers to enjoy.
The brick and mortar rentailers will continue to disappear as new delivery portals and kiosks
with pricing at 25%-50% of traditional rentailers' proliferate. Blockbuster has closed, or is
closing, more than 60% of its stores. Other chains, such as Movie Gallery and local rentailers,
are experiencing the same woeful financial difficulties. The packaged media middleman will
also continue to suffer. There will likely continue to be a 1%-4% annual decline in sales of
Blu-Ray/DVDs. Retailers that have significant exposure (footage, SKUs, revenues) will continue to see fewer dollars from packaged media over the next five years. Certainly, the revenue declines are slowing, but it is not likely to take a meaningful or sustainable upturn in the
years ahead. It’s a digital world and most video retailers will not find their traditional transaction levels, even on high-profile product, getting any better.

Overpayment by new content aggregators, which are strategically attempting to gain significant enough subscribers or market share to be one of the handful of eventual players in a new
digital world, are losing out. Their business model is overburdened in two ways: 1) the expense of licensing content, especially as some have already raised the cost to play by a factor
of 10 to 20; and 2) the cost to build a brand is hundreds of millions of dollars plus time (see
point 1) that is likely underearning versus required licensing payments. While we doubt announcements of new ventures will slow down for a year or two, we also think we will not see
much in the way of profits from the new players either.
The major studios are unlikely to find themselves with an untenable position, especially if
they continue to think, plan, and execute strategically. No one has made a dumb mistake that
Wall Street is aware of yet! For now, we should see more dollars for content that was expensed years, if not, decades ago.
VOD
Approximately 99% of US homes can now access digital signals from a cable/telco carrier.
VOD capability is in nearly 54% of digital homes now as digital adoption by the consumer is
required to access VOD offerings. Three things have been revealed over the past three years
relative to VOD: 1) consumers are now utilizing VOD for paid movie rentals; 2) consumers
have access to multiple devices to get movies on an a la carte basis, which is helping the buyin; and 3) shifting windows (delaying Netflix, Redbox, etc.) and shrinkage of VOD release to
day-and-date with package media is gaining consumer acceptance. While DVR usage is up
meaningfully, we think the option has retrained consumers to think in a nonlinear fashion.
This, combined with closing rentailers, is driving consumers to use VOD to access movies.
Also the closing of thousands of video stores, use of iTunes for downloads, and ease of access
have mitigated previous cost and access barriers.
Many of the cable system operators believe that day-and-date parity with home video release
dates would drive revenue on the VOD platform to higher levels and a number of studios are
beginning to include most product that will go to VOD access into day-and-date. It might be
premature to correlate accelerating VOD revenues with day-and-date despite the logic. In any
event, more homes are VOD-enabled and fresher film product is being promoted to and accessed by consumers. This trend should go on for the next few years. It has been simple for
the media and some investors to look at the VOD platform and presume that because the
technology is available, consumers will pay to use it. This has not proven to be the case yet.
That being said, leveraging advertising to multiple distribution portals is a high priority for the
major entertainment studios.
The following discussion reveals the economics of BD/DVD and VOD for content suppliers,
principally the major studios. The unit gross profit on a BD/DVD disc is in the range of
$8.00-$12.00 on a $16.00-$21.00 gross wholesale price point versus $2.50-$3.50 on a $4.99
VOD or streaming charge considering a 50%-70% split for the content provider from the cable system operator.
The challenge of providing frontline content for VOD remains scale and substitution. We do not
doubt that the studios are experimenting more fully to gain a better understanding of consumer
interest in VOD and streaming, and quite frankly, we think they have to be pleased that VOD is
growing rapidly on the uptake, despite being offset either directly or indirectly by lower sellA member of BMO

through levels for all but a few of the top event films of the year. With home video typically
generating more than 35%-40% of a film’s first-cycle profits, we believe the importance of this
revenue stream will continue to be tightly managed alongside emerging access platforms.
The revenue levels of VOD releases, for the most part, are now 25% of the newly defined
home video revenue pie. Digital is not substituting dollar for dollar the declines in sellthrough as a meaningful part of those declines relate to library and TV product, not first-run
movies. Nevertheless, a decline is a decline. The variables for consumer and studios, including DRM across various platforms, piracy in a digital world, storage limitations and download
times, will take time to sort out.
Economics of Streaming
Streaming video arrived with much conceptual fanfare in 2010, and we expect a fair amount
of data points, film product available, and customers (subscribers or a la carte consumers) to
push the IPTV platform in new directions and dimensions for decades to come. Whether there
is an “over-the-top” distinction or not, streaming will grow in utilization of watching videos at
home. The following exhibit details estimates for the market over the next few years.

We believe too much of the debate has been the broadly defined home video marketplace. It’s
not a secret that approximately $6 billion has left the traditional home video/packaged media
segment from its peek years (2005-2007). We estimate that about one-third to one-half of that
has returned in the incremental gains of VOD and internet-based platforms, and we note that
the annual declines have shrunk significantly this past year. Exhibit 73 visualizes how the
platform is likely to grow.

The economics of streaming are still developing and are subject to bandwidth speeds available
through various providers. When consumers choose the VOD option through their video system provider to the home, be it cable, satellite, or telco, bandwidth is not an issue, but as consumers turn to an IP-driven delivery model it becomes more of a factor in terms of download
times and picture quality as Exhibit 74 details.
Scalability of the IP model does raise the age old issue of router, switching, and server capacity for the video provider and limitation that may exist as to how many customers can actually
be using the systems simultaneously. Estimates vary from 10% to 20% of subscribers to the
wire (fiber or coaxial) provider video can utilize the service simultaneously, perhaps not a
critical issue given that only 30% of households are currently subscribers to an IP content
provider. System capacity likely grows over time, but the amount of bandwidth grows proportionally as picture quality increases.
An additional issue looming is the intention of most IP services to move to a pay for usage
model that could cause a multiplier effect on bandwidth usage as most films range in size
from about two gigs to almost 30 gigs in BD quality. If aggregators face consumers getting
charged a dollar or two per film for bandwidth use, it may limit usage by some who might
find it easier and/or cheaper to use their cable connection rather than a third party.

Premium VOD – Unsuccessful Experiment So Far!
The focus on the potential shrinking distribution window into the home video/EST platforms
the past few years created some level of investor angst from time to time. The often mused
premium VOD (it was even bouncing around when the linear PPV option was used!) was
tested by two major studios in 2011 and was a non-revenue event. The cost factor of $25-$30
per click is a very limiting variable, in our opinion. Exhibit 75 defines the economics of premium VOD and traditional VOD for the studio and video provider using 70%/30% splits.
Some in the industry have suggested that studios may keep 80% of the up-charge.

The economics for the studio are compelling if they are compared with traditional VOD or
disc economics should those be the target consuming platforms. However, the content providers are unlikely to commit to a new distribution window that meaningfully cannibalizes revenues elsewhere. Perhaps even more problematic is the promotional costs to gain audience
awareness and build a new consumption behavior. It is fairly clear that the heavy lifting for
promotional costs will be borne by the studios, and we sense as a home video substitute it is a
very expensive proposition. We do not believe premium VOD is a substitute for the theater,
even if exhibitors have predictably made the most noise about the potential encroachment.

We have already discussed our view of the potential dynamics around the new window versus
the potential threat to the theatrical exhibition. We think it is minimal for the next few years.
As to the home video market, we think it may cannibalize a very modest amount in rentals
and sales.
Kiosks
The entry of the kiosk is providing consumers with an estimated 46,500 plus local venues to
access video rental product. Kiosks now account for 22% of the rental business. The major
players in the business are Redbox, owned by Coinstar, and Blockbuster Express, which is
currently being sold by NCR to Coinstar. Product typically rents for $1.00 per day and given
its convenient access, is growing market share fairly rapidly. Kiosks’ rapid growing unit levels will continue to take video rental market share from other brick-and-mortar rentailers.

Ultra Violet – Bridge to the Digital Future
The roll-out in late 2011 of the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) cloudbased digital rights management platform, UltraViolet (UV), has now set the state for the next
generation in content ownership and access. Consumers will ultimately be able to buy content
once and watch it on most of their screened devices as well as upload existing DVD/BD media to their dedicated digital locker.
The design of UV should allow consumers to aggregate their film libraries (digital right) in a
relatively convenient location, access that content from multiple connected devices (computer, TV, tablet, mobile, game console, BD player, etc.) to download or stream and let it be
used by up to six family or household members. Consumers will ultimately be able to repurpose existing disc libraries to their digital locker via conversion.
Currently, the UV consortium (alliance) includes those listed in the following exhibit.

Content is available today from Warner Bros, Sony, Fox, Universal, Lions Gate, Paramount,
Flixster and likely Amazon for the UltraViolet platform, usually as a digital code attached to a
BD movie purchase. Increasingly, the ability to buy the digital rights will be totally segregated from the physical media piece.
Conspicuously absent are Disney and Apple, which have been collaborating on an alternative
cloud-based service, KeyChest. From what has been shared by Disney, KeyChest would operate in a similar fashion as UV by providing a cloud-based digital home for digital rights that
would have access through most streaming or download connected devices. We believe Apple’s closed ecosystem has been a favorable factor in its consumer relationships and its own
iCloud business would complement the digital rights appeal to consumers who continue to
demonstrate loyalty to the platforms.
Two key consumer touch points that are essential for broad adoption are the current packaged
media retailers (Walmart-about 35%-40% market share, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon)
which can facilitate placement of the digital copy to an individual’s account. The second necessity is the ability to migrate existing library ownership to the cloud (disc to digital), which
is one of UltraViolet’s most attractive features.
From a consumer adoption view, UV has signed up over one million subscribers in its first
few months of operation. The free membership should help grow its base. There is an inherent
attraction to many key demographic homes to utilize digital platforms versus the historical
physical media predominance. Reaching a broader subset of the population will require a
more seamless password piracy protection gate (entering multiple passwords and codes feels
cumbersome at this point). We are confident the access formula will get refined and improved
over time and not be an impediment to adoption. Exhibit 78 details how we project membership growth will occur.

would expect. The windows game among studios, distributors, (theaters, rentailers, digital
nonlinear aggregators, cable, and broadcasters) and consumers is in the transition and experimentation stage. The R&D that will go on over the next few years will give content producers
and distributors quantifiable and monetized insights into consumer preferences and behavior.
Cloud-based storage is attractive to a meaningful percentage of filmed entertainment users.
The multiple device access and multiple household users are appealing to an even larger
group. Do these variables add buying power back into the marketplace, regaining ground lost
to kiosks and subscriber services from nonlinear aggregators? Only modestly, in our opinion
at this point.

Home Video: Trends and Perspectives

We believe four major factors have compressed packaged media home video revenue
over the past few years. First, we believe mass merchants are limiting promotional pricing for potential high-unit sales titles, which for the first week or two in a major event
film DVD/BD release often created more unit sales that are profitless transactions for the
retailer to drive foot traffic into the store. Second, economic conditions are reducing volume sales as consumers redesign their consumption patterns to less expensive or easier
access alternatives. Third, Blu-Ray is creating some level of transition confusion or constraint with a higher price tag attached, especially in the highly marketed premium packaging. Last, inroads by EST are gaining traction in a very healthy fashion. The variance
in tie ratios leads us to believe that the specific content of a film is driving unit sales versus historical trends, as opposed to the economy or platform alternatives. The best examples of this include Avatar and Toy Story 3. Exhibit 79 details the domestic video conversion rates versus domestic box office gross for films released over the past several years.

The maturing home video industry is getting its third and fourth makeovers, after revenue
sharing, BD/DVD, and now EST. At the same time Blu-Ray becomes broadly available
at mass-market hardware prices and the digital revolution arrives with thousands of films
to stream or download via subscription and pay-as-you-play models. This game is in the
early running and consumers are discovering its limitations including quality/light on
HD, availability, and age of films/few newer titles.

The emergence of the 28-day home video sell-through window, likely getting shoved to
56 days, pushed in large part by new agreements that many studios have with Netflix and
Redbox, should strategically enable studios to maximize retail sell-through revenues (as
75% of DVD/BD retail sales come in the first four weeks) as well as leverage VOD rentals, which carry 70% gross margins. The second revenue maximizing strategy has been to
limit the resale of used discs by rentailers at discounted prices after a few weeks of rentals that compete with new product sales.

Digital rights management issues remain in other emerging mediums, not the least of
which is portability. Some studios include a digital copy of a film in their Blu-Ray packaging for a $2-$3 up-charge. While still experimenting, we think this is an important step

in addressing consumer frustration about portability of investment in films. Expect more
experimentation and headlines about this as the DECE consortium continues to roll out
UltraViolet. It remains to be seen if owning content in the cloud and gaining significant
portability is enough to drive buy rates at higher costs.
A member of BMO

UltraViolet and eventually Keychest from Disney and Apple are introducing cloud storage and multi-platform access. UltraViolet recorded its one-millionth subscriber late in
2011. It becomes one more option for the consumer, although it is likely to achieve
higher membership as consumer technology is simplified. Portability of digital rights
management is a high consumer priority. Disintermediation is in the wind here, so we expect technology and logistics for UltraViolet will improve rapidly.

EST is moving toward technological critical mass as consumers experience great access
and familiarity with streaming and downloading, especially as consumer electronic devices come with built-in software and wireless internet access to branded content aggregators. These are modest businesses at the moment but will provide a new platform for
studios to monetize and sequence in the convenience-price-point spectrum.

Same-day VOD/DVD/BD “day-and-date” releases have moved from concept to broadbased reality as most successful films were available day-and-date and some were available pre-DVD release, which has caused the overall window to shrink to a negative 17
days. We think there is only a modest correlation between declines in sell-through and
narrowing or eliminated release windows for VOD.

As theater viewing moves to digital, home video moves to high definition and/or digital,
and consumers settle in with a new tech-driven home theater with multiple access points
for content, we think individuals are likely to show a meaningful preference for the better
visual and audio experience as opposed to “VHS quality” downloads that are increasingly
available via a variety of nonlinear providers. This competitive advantage, at least from a
qualitative perspective, is formidable for now, although quality is improving as MPEG-2
and MPEG-4 evolve.

Do not be confused by the accelerated acceptance, testing, and utilization of the variety of
access connections to secure filmed entertainment. The studios will continue to push toward disintermediation (it is not likely to be a Netflix-ruled world), whether with streaming or downloading. The major producers will continue to look for ways to increase their
portion of the revenue spread and may see more limited value to content aggregators over
time, but there is no reason not to take their money in the meantime.

Netflix has grown the online subscriber base to upwards of 22 million domestic customers now. Although by-mail consumers represent just over 20% of the BD/DVD homes,
mail remains a viable preference for a growing number of households. Those same
households generally still use VOD (and paid $4.00-$5.00 per click) for more spontaneous viewing, which is certainly a convenience when time, weather, etc. create the need.
The online market may grow to 25% of domestic households over the next few years.
Breaking into the BD subscription flow may be a less profitable proposition.

The international home video market is also seeing economy-driven contractions but
fewer technology-driven declines. The business is also strapped with negative currency
exchange rates at times on top of the broad economic impact, which at times skews revenues and could lead to poorly correlated conclusions about causation. With a smaller percentage of connected homes, the international markets are somewhat less vulnerable to
new distribution platform competition at the moment. This is a tough situation when piracy is the dominant market share leader in many of the largest population territories.

Studio revenue margins on the home video business have come under pressure as meaningful platform changes have occurred. The video rental business margin consistently
hovers in the 25% range with revenue sharing, while the margin on sell-through is steady
in the 79%-80% range. The new deals with those agreeing to a 28 day delay before a
rental window lowered margins a few percentage points in 2011 and will again in 2012.
Lower sales also hit margins by at least 400 bp in 2011.

The packaged media sales window is becoming crowded during the peak holiday release
periods. This has added significant dollars to advertising budgets and created a marketing
frenzy for the holiday season when a BD/DVD release might generate 10% or more in
incremental sales owing to the gift quotient and “under $20” value proposition. Every
Tuesday, the typical weekday retail release date for video, beginning in late September,
there is a new BD/DVD sell-though release that ultimately generates anywhere from 4
million to 10 million unit sales during its first-cycle release.

Advertising expenditures for print, outdoor, inserts, co-op, onscreen, television, and the
like for targeted for home video releases for even mid-level theatrical releases start at a
few million and can escalate beyond $30 million for event releases (Harry Potter, Twilight etc.). Marketing spend by the studios alone for home video likely exceeded $1.0 billion in 2011, continuing the upward trend from previous years, with the vast majority of
those dollars going to television and cable networks as well as co-op advertising with selected mass merchants. Clearly, subscription models negate the necessity for some ad

Is it a Streampix versus Netflix world? Netflix clearly has first-mover advantage once
again in the home video subscription world (streaming now), but it will not be battling for
(or battling to retain) subscribers in this next touch point for consumers. Multichannel
providers (cable and telcos in particular) are building streaming and were connected
brands to maintain a primary video relationship with their customer base with offerings
ranging from TV Everywhere and now Streampix. As alliances form, the move by Comcast’s Streampix will be available on Apple’s iPad and iPhone devices. At $5.99 versus
Netflix’s $7.99, even with moderately differentiated content of film and TV, consumers
win.

The theatrical exhibition business has been ground zero for the filmed entertainment industry
for almost a decade. It has grown to be a $15 billion domestic industry (admissions, concessions, ad revenues, and others) and close to $45 billion worldwide. The industry has weathered a proliferation of ancillary access points for consumers who can now enjoy films on
home video (broad definition) as well as on pay, cable, and broadcast networks.
In our opinion, the five most important dynamics today for investors to consider relative to
the exhibition industry are: 1) film releases; 2) admission and concession pricing flexibility;
3) availability and utilization of 3D screens; 4) alternative content growth; and 5) competitive
vulnerability from other media portals. Under most scenarios, the domestic industry is not
likely to be a double-digit grower, but individual company profitability is potentially enhanced by digital projection and 3D, on-screen advertising dollars, and new alternative programming offerings via digital networks such as sports, concerts, opera, and corporate/community venue utilization gains traction. We sense little ticket pricing resistance to the
2%-4% increases that theater owners have implemented annually over the past decade or so,
as indicated by the admissions numbers. 3D or large screen format ticket premiums ($3.00
plus per ticket) enable tiered ticket price increases for films. Concession pricing has benefited
from concession packaging and also appears to be somewhat flexible, although we sense more
caution on concession pricing by many of the larger exhibitors. Theater concession prices always seem expensive, but that rarely stops per capita spending from staying close to admission/CPI level of increases.
The financial dynamics of the film industry have pitted producers (studios and independents)
and distributors against end point retailers such as theaters, video retailers, and digital aggregators. This is not a new phenomenon for the industry. At times, too many movies have
chased too few screens, and at other times, too many screens have chased too few movies. We
are likely in an era where too many 3D films have been chasing too few 3D-enabled screens,
although we expect this disparity to be rectified by the end of 2012 in the US. As new distribution platforms emerged in the early 1990s, such as home video and pay-TV, and film releases became wider in the international markets, producers moved to make more films, leading theaters to build more screens, which in turn then changed the financial dynamics as the
supply of films or capital to produce them disappeared in 2009-2010. The end result in the
1990s was too many screens or uneconomical leases, which eventually led to financial restructuring and new ownership for many of the circuits early in the millennium.
An Exhibition Review
The 2011 domestic box office finished down 3.7% owing to a difficult first-quarter comparison that could not be offset by the gains from second- and third-quarter films and was further
challenged by a very anemic fourth quarter from a comparative basis. Admissions were down
4.2% for the year on a ticket price increase of approximately 0.5%. The major studios released close to 1% more films in 2011, a reversal of the declines seen over the past four years.
The arrival of digital cinema and 3D, as well as accelerating gains in digital screen counts
(roughly 25,621 digital screens and 12,565 digital 3D screens in the US), is giving consumers
the option of an enhanced experience at the movies and theater operators an opportunity to

Although attendance has grown at roughly the equivalent pace as population over the past 12
years (+3.6% CAGR), it is impressive that the plethora of filmed entertainment platforms and
price points consumers now have to access film product has seemingly cannibalized the exhibition industry attendance only modestly. Our observation and analysis suggest variances in
the commercial appeal of film product are a bigger driver of attendance fluctuations in any

particular year than competing media platforms or other leisure time activities. Theatrical admissions were down approximately 4.2% in 2011, according to Box Office Mojo’s estimated
numbers. We expect 2012 admissions to be up modestly, which should drive mid-single-digit
box office revenue growth.
We believe the pricing power of concessions has been close to parity with ticket price increases, even if it feels higher. That said, cost pressures in the business (sugar, corn, cocoa,
vegetable oil, etc.) have increased but have not seemingly had a noticeable influence on industry concession margins, which have stayed at the mid-80% level or better for a decade or
more as detailed in Exhibit 82. It appears theater operators have been able to keep pace with
increased labor costs (minimum wages) and concession costs for at least the past five years.

It is difficult to merchandise new food product offerings that carry an 85%-90% margin, but
most circuits have expanded food offerings that add incremental dollars to the business without denting cola and popcorn sales, which both carry astronomical 90%-plus margins. A small
cola and small popcorn are now more than $11 in many theaters in the top 20 US markets, potentially a “bargain” now that the small-sized beverage comes in a 32-ounce cup! Although
some theater circuits are upsizing unit packaging to deflect pricing resistance, the limitations

of this packaging strategy are becoming more apparent, in our opinion. The mega-plex footprint with more square footage in the common areas to deal with larger crowds now affords
more options for food service, a strategy that has worked well for Cineplex in Canada and is
being tested in the US at various circuits (Regal, Cinemark, AMC), whether through branded
outsourcing or in-house kitchen facilities.
Circuit Transactions
Private equity has twice played a major role in this industry since the late 1990s. The first occurrence was in the distressed securities and bankruptcy process of 1998-2002 as eight of the
top eleven theater chains went through major reorganizations or bankruptcy. The second wave
of ownership change occurred from 2002 to 2005, as the public markets (in the case of Regal)
or private equity (AMC and Cinemark) brought in new owners or new capital. It appears the
next move of private equity may be to exit the business as evidenced by Onex’s sale of most
of its stake in Cineplex in 2009 and Madison Dearborn Partners’ sale of its remaining stake in
Cinemark in 2011
The following table delineates industry transactions over the past ten years.

Now a number of privately held circuits, including Muvico, Rave, Hollywood, and a portion
of National Amusements, appear to be seeking buyers for corporate or financial reasons.
While the capital markets are far less restrictive than they have been in the past three years,
the capital allocation policies of many of the larger circuits seem to be directed to dividend
increases and debt repayments as opposed to major building programs. That said, we expect a
new phase of consolidation to begin later in 2013 as technology costs, tax issues, and industry
fundamentals motivate smaller regional operators.
Operationally, the industry focus has shifted from simply consolidating through screen closures,
leveraging geographical footprints, and acquiring additional screens, to a strategy of improving

the customer experience with stadium seating, digital sound, 3D-enabled projectors or large
screen formatted theaters (XD, RPX, UltraAVX, etc). The operators are also offering more diverse concessions and dining services. Favorable elements for the industry include theater-level
economics (firm-term settlements versus historical sliding scales, on-screen advertising providing incremental revenues, 3D ticket premiums, alternative content, etc.), limited capital expenditure requirements (building fewer new screens), enhanced free cash flow, maximized advertising
and facilities platforms, expanded food service including alcohol at some locations, reserved
seating, and elevated film experiences via digital projection, large screen formats, and 3D.
Economic Splits
Surprisingly, little change has occurred in the economic splits on film rentals as an offset to
increasingly wider openings for event films, despite the migration to “firm-term” settlements.
The top five films of 2011 opened in an average of 4,000 or more theaters on more than 8,000
screens and now on more than 2,500 3D-enabled screens (when applicable). It has become increasingly normal for films to open in more than 3,500 theaters and on more than 7,500
screens, versus only 2,500-3,000 screens in the past decade. We realize that not all screens are
created equal, as some screens have just over 100 seats, while some of the largest auditoriums
in the US have slightly more than 2,500 seats. The average is approximately 220 seats per
screen by our estimation. The new battleground for studios is not for the highest seat count
screens, but rather for 3D-enabled screens, which create a supply problem during peak release
periods. We expect this problem to be rectified over the next 12 months as the major US exhibitors accelerate their ramp-up of 3D-enabled screens. With concession margins at nearly
86%, it simply pays to get consumers in the door. We expect to see the average film rental
costs in the 53%-54% range for 2012, basically unchanged. There will be exceptions (Avatar
was likely closer to 60%), but there is little leverage on either side of the equation to consistently move the average film cost out of that range, even though the success or lack of commercial appeal of any one film can influence the equation.
Theater and Screen Counts
Screen counts have moved sideways over the past two years as developer funds have disappeared. As delineated in Exhibit 84, the aggregate screen count for the theatrical exhibition
industry declined from the peak level of 37,131 in 1999 to an estimated 35,173 at the end of
2001 as bankruptcy enabled a cost-effective closure of unprofitable or disadvantageous
screens. Since 2001, the count has now risen to an estimated 39,641 with multi/mega-plexes,
stadium seating, digital projection, and enhanced concession facilities dominating the new
screen additions. Older facilities with unfavorable leases, smaller screen counts, and noncompetitive locations continue to be closed each year. Equilibrium in the screen count has allowed
for distribution stability in the financial pendulum. Today, there are still too many 3D films
chasing too few 3D-enabled screens during the peak release windows of summer and the
holidays. This past summer there were five or six 3D-formatted films in release on most
weekends.
The massive upheaval in financial markets a few years ago has significantly reduced the capital available to developers to build new theater complexes and is reducing new screen additions at least through 2012. New projects are getting built selectively, but they will be numbered to only a handful or two, adding less than 1% to the total screen count. The decline in

film production in 2009-2010 may have also compressed motivation to build new screens in
the US, especially given the perception of revenue upside from 3D. The reality is that better
ROIC exists in 3D than new theater builds.
Theater-level economics are improving in other dimensions too as less favorable leases are
being renegotiated or unprofitable/competitive film zone theaters are closed in the new economy, average screen counts per theater continue to rise, which leverages theater-level overhead, and some operators achieve economies of scale as buying power for concessions and
FF&E (principally AMC, Regal, Cineplex, and Cinemark), and advertising is consolidated
over a larger base of screens.
The domestic screen count was roughly flat in 2011, which we believe indicates that the rationalization process that began last decade continues to play. Although each circuit has its
own goals, priorities, and plans, most of the major theater chain operators are closing older
theaters that typically have below-average screen counts and are selectively opening new
mega-plexes in higher-growth population areas that are underserved. As mentioned, developers have been at a meaningful disadvantage as capital markets have provided far fewer dollars
to build new projects over the past few years, meaningfully curtailing new screen builds. That
has been okay for exhibitors that have been far more focused on digital projection/3D installations than building new screens given the better ROIC characteristic of 3D. See exhibit 90 for
more analysis of 3D economics.
The average number of screens per theater for the leading exhibitors continues to be almost
double the average screens per theater for all theater operators. Given the declines in film output by the major studios over the past four years, we seriously doubt that very many megaplexes with more than 20 screens are going to be built once developers return to the game.
Exhibits 84 and 85 depict the trends in the screen rationalization process and its effect on
screen count per theater dynamics.

Cinema Advertising
On-screen advertising has become an incremental growth business as it has evolved from
slide-driven local ads into a sophisticated technology-driven digital entertainment presentation
platform. The new digital pre-feature content offers a better-quality cinema experience with
more targeted consumer segments and a steadier pricing plan. The higher-quality pre-feature
shows and digital entertainment have enabled cinema to become a more competitive media
platform in the $300 billion US advertising market. Exhibit 86 illustrates the growth in the
business over the past 11 years. We believe that cinema advertising will not slow down for a
while as more theaters join the digital on-screen advertising marketplace and advertisers garner more information about this captive audience.

Digital Projection and 3D
Digital projection and its 3D complement have taken center stage in the industry as Digital
Cinema Implementation Partners (DCIP) has raised $880 million to drive digital projection
installations, which is a prerequisite for 3D-formatted films. Digital projection saves studios
hundreds of dollars per screen (after Virtual Print Fees) and will ultimately save $1,000 or
more per screen, an expense that totals between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion annually in print,
shipping, insurance, and post screening disposal costs. A DCIP joint venture flow chart is depicted below.

The quick ramp-up in 3D screens is understandable given the very compelling economics surrounding a 3D film. We believe there is a financial change coming over the next few years for
theater circuits with broad penetration of 3D technology. The following chart details the incremental dollar contribution per ticket from a 3D film. For the theater owner, which has
spent $5,000-$7,000 (all in, above digital projector costs, which are typically paid for by third
parties) per screen to upgrade to 3D, the ROIC appears fairly high.

We do not see resistance to 3D tickets premiums nor do we sense most exhibitors are going to
push too far too fast in raising ticket premiums for 3D. That being said, the ticket board at
most theaters is becoming quite a pricing grid! As is true with 2D ticket prices, larger markets
typically charge higher prices. Anecdotally, our recent stops around the US have seen 3D featured film ticket prices coming in at a low of $8.00 (Albuquerque/El Paso) and a high of
$18.00 (NYC). Up-charges at the low end were $2.50 and at the high end (non-IMAX) were
$4.50. The “average” is currently about $3.25. Large screen formats (LSF) run from $3.00 to
$5.00 depending on if the film is showing in 3D or 2D. We are also seeing the VIP theater
emerge with reduced seat counts, leather seats, food/beverage and alcohol service, reserved
seats, and other amenities at the $5.00-$12.00 premium level.

Most of the major theater circuits that have improved their corporate and operating cost structures, are facing far less of a competitive threat from new screen builds in their respective
markets and are beginning to leverage positive demographic, technological, and concession
product trends. We believe this has made the industry a much more attractive investment vehicle, especially given the free cash flow characteristic of the business as currently designed
as well as significant dividend payouts from Cineplex (4.4%), Regal (6.2%), and Cinemark
(3.8%).

Summer Dynamics
Summer (May through August) is the most important film season for both studios and exhibitors. Over 40% of the year’s box office revenues are typically generated during the summer
season. While there is always a place for analysis of the annual box office attendance and
pricing, what happens in summer is far more important to almost all the players (studios and
exhibitors) in determining the health of the industry. The 2011 summer box office was up
6.3% over 2010 and set an all-time box office record of $4.5 billion. We think summer 2012
could be somewhat challenging given the all-time high achieved last summer and the typical
impact of the Olympics, political conventions, and to a far lesser extent for the big circuits,
higher gasoline prices. It would not surprise us if the key summer box office was down in the
low- to mid-single-digit percent range.
The following graphs depict the dollar volume and annual changes in box office revenues and
attendance as well as the top five film averages during the key summer period over the past 11
years.

Release Window
The focus on the potential shrinking distribution window into the home video/EST platforms
the past few years created some level of investor angst. The latest tests by two major studios
of creating a premium VOD window 60 days post theatrical release turned into a non-revenue
event. As noted in our Theatrical Film section, we believe studios, even those considering the
premium VOD option, do not wish to cannibalize existing theatrical, home video and EST
revenue streams to create a new window that requires promotional dollars above incremental
profits. We think the number of films that would be considered to outperform their promotional costs is ten or fewer annually, even if the studios were to unlock the window for their
best films. None of the tests of the platform to date have included even a top 20 domestic
film. This may rightly be characterized as putting a little toe in the water. We also estimate
that over 95% of the top 25 films gross box office receipts are achieved in the first eight
weeks in theaters. The high cost factor of $25-$30 per view is also a very limiting variable for
premium VOD, in our opinion.
As windowing relates to home video release dates, the most frequently used term to describe
the distribution window for years has been “collapsing,” which in our opinion is nowhere near
accurate and disregards the exclusivity window for theatrical runs and practical reality of distribution for most home video releases. We note that some of the bigger exhibitors in the larger designated market areas (DMAs) have added contractual language that protects the exhibition window for a specified number of days, beyond the typical 95% or more of revenues
the top films generate in the first eight weeks. While studios would like to capture some of the
gross ratings point advertising investment benefits from a film’s theatrical release to reduce
the promotional expense of a film’s home video release, this is more likely to be a factor for
the film that has generated only modest theatrical revenues and is rushed to home video release. Shortening the window to 90 days for unsuccessful product is a smart move and in no
way affects exhibitors, in our opinion, as they have likely significantly reduced runs for such
films after week three or four anyway.

The following graph delineates the number of days a film takes to go from the theater to DVD
release. In a sense, Exhibit 96 may be overstating the shrinkage factor in 2011 as the exclusivity period of sell-through now masks the 28-day embargo to which most rentailers have
agreed.

The top 20 films of 2011 saw an average of 126 days between theatrical release and home
video release, more than the 117-day industry-wide average as the following exhibit details.
We continue to observe that a major driver in decision-making regarding a film’s home video
release remains peak holiday selling opportunities and competitive factors typical of other
major releases. Anecdotally, we continue to hear of promotional/date suggestions from Walmart, which controls about 35%-40% of DVD and BD sales. The top three films of 2011 saw
days-to-DVD release around the 90-day mark. However, there appears to be no quantifiable
evidence that consumers skipped a theater ticket purchase in favor of an earlier opportunity to
view the home video version of the film. We reiterate our view that the marginal film has the
best revenue uptake from an early home video release, a factor that is not likely to influence
macro exhibition revenues across the board.

data through March 29, 2012
While it is easy to see the shrinkage in the number of days to a BD/DVD release from theatrical release over a 10- or 15-year period, we believe this has much more to do with the wider
number of screens on which most films open and, thus, the resulting shorter theatrical runs.
Many studios have decided for now that narrowing the release window to a period of less than
90 days does not maximize revenues any further for most films. It is not uncommon for studios to delay the home video release of some of their films beyond the average 117 days for
2011, as seen in Exhibit 97, to take advantage of the higher sell-though potential of the holiday season. The holiday season is a major gating factor for all home video releases and release dates have become as competitive as those in the theatrical world. With films generating
95% or more of their box office gross in the first eight weeks of their theatrical release, we do
not believe changes in the BD/DVD/EST release window threaten theater revenue streams.
Per Capita Spending
Per capita spending increases are the natural outgrowth of admissions, rising ticket prices (especially now with 3D accounting for 18% of domestic box office gross), new event offerings
that typically carry higher average ticket prices, and expansion or repackaging of concession
offerings. According to Box Office Mojo, the average ticket price in 2011 was up an estimated 3.0% from 2010, with a portion of that gain attributable to higher 3D ticket contributions. Exhibit 98 breaks out average per capita spending for admissions and concessions over
the past decade. We note that the CAGR for pricing of both admissions and concessions has
moderately outpaced inflation, although we suspect that the “law of low numbers” is in part
the primary cause of the overage. Ticket prices generally increase in increments of $0.25,
which on a $6.00, $7.00, $8.00, or $9.00 ticket would put them above consumer price index
(CPI) increases. We expect 2%-3% aggregate ticket price increases in 2012, although 3D up
charges certainly can push ticket price levels up if their success quotient accelerates. Exhibitors are also using tiered price points to improve ticket price yields. Examples of such are
shrinking discounts for matinees and implementing higher premiums for Friday and Saturday
nights.

Exhibitors have been able to maintain and/or improve concession dollars on enhanced product
or packaging (the infamous 32-ounce “small” beverage at Regal!). Per capita concession revenues in 2011 were up close to 1%. We expect 2012 per-capita spending on concessions to be
up by low-single-digit percentages as higher-priced food items are included in concession offerings. Buying power through consolidation also seems to be a positive factor, as have longterm beverage agreements that mitigate the upward swings in commodity prices. Over the
past decade, theater owners have moved concession offerings upscale from the classic popcorn and soda to cappuccino, baked cookies, pizza, bottled water, etc. This variety has no
doubt helped improve the customer experience and increase per capita spending, although we
doubt there is going to be a trend toward higher labor, lower gross profit margin items absent
a material volume increase.
The following graph depicts the year-over-year change in average concessions per patron,
highlighting the effect during recessionary periods.

Concession margins are conspicuously and notoriously high, but consumer trends remain stable and unaffected seemingly by the continual upward bias in pricing. Packaging and bundling have become a much more prominent marketing thrust for most of the major circuits.
Upsizing has become a financially beneficial practice for employees at many of the major operators and given the incremental pennies for 16 ounces of a soft drink or one ounce of popcorn as well as minimum wage of its employees, $0.10-$0.25 rewards per transaction can add
up quickly. It is little wonder that up-selling is becoming a far more prevalent (if not a nuisance!) practice at most of the theater circuits. We remain watchful over concession margins
as key raw material prices (sugar, corn, cocoa, etc.) have escalated. It seems at this point that
inflationary factors, including higher minimum wages, are passing through without harm to
profitability.

Film rentals reflect the percentage of box office gross retained by the exhibitors from admission revenues and are the lifeblood of the exhibitor. The percentage has remained within a
very narrow range for the past 15 years. Exhibit 101 details the net box office receipts retained by the exhibitors over the past 20-plus years, varying within about 300 basis points. As
mentioned previously, the greater percentage of films that are being released on firm terms
has negated some of the variability of the rentals retained by exhibitors. We do not see any
major swing factors that will change split economics. 3D technology royalty payments of
about $0.42 per ticket are generally accounted for in “other theater costs.”


The over-screened, overbuilt status of the industry has been rationalized to a great extent
with the most recent focus on older, under-screened facilities being closed. Screen equilibrium appears to have finally arrived. The paradigm will now revolve around 3Denabled screens. We expect a continuing rapid pace of 3D system installations into midto late 2012.

Away from swings in the box office, cash flow margins are stable to improving for the
public theater owners. We believe this is the result of underperforming screen closures
and renegotiated lease terms as landlords have had few alternatives. Most exhibitors can
still achieve modest incremental efficiencies, although it remains unknown what impact
changes in medical insurance will be a year or two down the road. With a higher percentage of part-time employees than most other businesses, and many within the expanding
age umbrella of parent’s coverage, the outcome is unlikely to be a major incremental expense item.

We believe the ebb in capital expenditure cycle is near a low in terms of theater builds as
capital constraints for developers and theater operators have limited most expansion activity through 2012.

We believe that the demand by distributors for 8,000-plus screens to open major event films
during the peak summer and holiday periods has led to “firm term” economics for the studio/distributor and the exhibitor. Although a rather optimistic perception, the demand for more
screens and better screen placements during the peak seasonal periods may actually help drive
better rental margins for the exhibitors in the next few years. Admittedly, this may only be 50100 basis points to the exhibitor, but all of that incremental revenue falls to the pretax income
line.


Digital projection is ramping up quickly. The addition of 3D technology will likely mirror the pace of digital installations. Roughly 40% of the domestic screens were digital at
the end of 2011. Digital cinema is the gateway to 3D, which may afford significant revenue upside as the movie going experience is enhanced. Digital also offers some level of
optimization of seat capacity in high-use periods for the theaters with multiple digital
screens, although it has been difficult to quantify the benefits.

DCIP is not a funding source for 3D enablement or the required silver screen necessary to
be installed to utilize the advantages of the technology. Silver screens cost approximately
$100 per foot (i.e., 50-foot screen costs approximately $5,000 from Stewart silver
screens, the bellwether of the industry). This will be a capital expenditure for the theater
owner, not DCIP. DCIP’s contribution per screen is capped at $68,000. Expense above
that will be the responsibility of the theater owner. We think theater owners on average
will be spending $5,000-$7,000 per screen to cover the other installation and implementation costs.

Digital projection is going to allow more films to open on more screens at a reduced cost
for studios, especially when critical mass has been achieved so that satellite delivery (via
DCDC) can be leveraged versus the current hard drive with key codes; that’s probably
achieved at the 20,000 screen level. Furthermore, digital cinema should enable more
films to play in smaller markets below the top 100 DMAs as the cost basis (film prints)
and screen availability can now be addressed.

Portability of film in the digital format should enable theater owners to more quickly adjust screen designation to optimize seating capacity within each theater complex. A film
can be moved from a theater with 250 seats to one with 400 seats with a few computer
keyboard strokes if the consumer demand reveals that more seats are needed at peak attendance periods.

A large portion of theater overhead is sensitive to changes in wage and benefit costs. Although labor costs for hourly workers have been fairly stable recently, increases in medical and other insurance costs have trended above ticket price increases. Insurance costs
are also spiking well above historical growth levels, especially after the hurricane damage
experienced in 2005-2009. Very little can be done to mitigate these costs other than raising ticket prices. We note that even with the federal minimum wage increase, operators
feel little impact since a large portion of the labor mix is already above the proposed
minimum owing to state minimum wage laws.

Investors must be conscious of the headline risk 3D HDTV will have from time to time
and the perceived influence it will have on movie-going habits of the public. The temptation to extrapolate the story is too great, when all one has to do is dust off and repolish a
story about HBO, VOD, DVD, etc., to draw the picture. The home theater is rapidly becoming a reality and, in many instances, can provide an exceptional experience. The 3D
TV product is likely to see significant advertising and shelf space in 2013-2015. As
unique and enticing as the products by Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, or
Sharp can be, we do not think they are even a close substitute for all of the variables that
consumers have in going to a movie theater.


Premium VOD windows have been tested by a couple of studios, although capability and
utilization did not appear to move in tandem. We expect more R&D involving digital delivery to be a continual reality.

Uncertainties remain over the potential impact of the new health care legislation passed
in 2010. It is a little early to handicap this issue or its impact on theater owners, although
it is very safe to say costs are not going to go down.

Television
Change agents and variables abound in the television ecosystem as content, delivery infrastructure and systems, hardware (mobile and tablets to oversize 100-inch HD televisions and
every screen in between) as well as consumer behavior are turning the evolution of television
into a revolution. The television platform has at least seven major dynamics at work, all of
which are changing the content creation paradigm and economics for producers, distributors,
aggregators and consumers alike. The seven major dynamics at work that are likely to be important investment variables over the next year or two are: 1) consumers are watching more
programming each year - they just aren’t watching it in a linear fashion as they have in the
past; 2) consumers are not watching TV when networks (more broadly defined than one of the
traditional primetime networks) choose to broadcast; 3) consumers do not seem limited to a
free environment for viewing - they are seemingly willing to pay the nonlinear aggregators for
what they want to watch as well as having an advertising component as “pay” for access; 4)
consumer attraction to a variety of programming content has created significant new content
verticals that are major profit centers to owners, producers and networks; 5) the research and
development dollars creating, chasing and hopefully capitalizing on the new television world
(IPTV, VOD, etc.) are likely to be significant, although not necessarily creating a zero sum
game scenario; 6) new capital is coming into the business to buy content or innovate touch
points for consumers, both of which are positives for established content creators and owners;
and 7) retransmission fees are generating hundreds of millions of dollars per network in profits annually.
Viewership
Consumers continue to increase their television viewing, perhaps at an even greater pace than
is calculated by traditional audience measurements services as new portals such as IPTV grow
in popularity, outpacing current measurement yard sticks used by advertisers (who cry no
tears that audiences may be undercounted!). Certainly the diversity of cable networks and the
digital broadcast environment has served to provide more content that is capturing a greater
number of viewers. The higher penetration levels of technology such as the DVR has also
played an important role in allowing households to time shift viewing from traditional linear
constraints. Exhibits 104 and 105 detail the average per-day usage of television.

The annual improvement in total household and key advertiser demographic (18-24 year olds)
television viewing has been helped by VOD and DVR usage within the seven-day metric.
What is just as clear is that original programming on a number of cable networks such as
USA, AMC, TNT, HBO, Showtime, Starz, and SyFy continues to capture more primetime
viewership as delineated in Exhibit 106. The statistics are clear. Households are watching

The transition in household ratings measurement from live audiences to commercial viewership plus three days of DVR/VOD viewing (which likely undercounts the total audience actually watching a program, in our opinion) as the primary measure for advertising revenues has
not meaningfully changed the economics of the network providers as some had speculated or
concluded two or three years ago. One thing appears stable in the midst of all the other variables in the television equation despite headlines often to the contrary: there is greater diversity in touch points of consumer access, but the sum of those touch points is pushing up total
minutes per household.
The DVR, VOD, and HDTV
The ability of consumers to access content via wire, fiber, satellite and IP is growing at a rapid
pace, perhaps even beyond the current audience measurement tools that contribute to most
quantitative models that gauge viewership. There is no shortage of access portals for consumers and almost no need to wait for reruns, strip syndication, or season packaging on a disc or
digital downloads to watch or own one’s favorite series. As noted previously, VOD and DVR
as well as over-the-top (OTT) subscriptions are being utilized to a much greater extent as
households or subscribers have grown, as detailed in the following exhibits.

Also commanding the headlines the past year or so has been the introduction of 3D HDTV.
The major HDTV manufacturers such as Samsung, Vizio, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Sony hit
the consumer electronics market place with new 3D-capable products, albeit in higher-priced
infancy technologically. Interestingly enough, consumers have not overly embraced the active
shutter eyewear necessary to push penetration levels to the broadly acceptable level. Highprofile events, such as ESPN’s 3D broadcast of the World Cup and the Olympics, are likely to
continue and enhance the evolution of the home theater entertainment experience. As penetration rates of hardware grow, active eyewear technology is standardized, and 3D programming
expands over the next few years, 3D can only be a plus for TV viewing and ratings. There are
many baby steps in the process technologically and many years in the content creation side
(mostly movies today, 35-plus new each year) until there will be enough scale on the hardware and content side to drive a meaningful consumer business.
Broadcast Networks
Demand for television production is primarily driven by the owners and operators of the five
primetime broadcast networks (seven if you count Televisa and Univision), as well as cable
and pay cable networks that in recent years have become the new growth engine for programming by doubling and tripling production dollars. While broadcast network viewership
levels have suffered steady erosion and fragmentation over the past 25 years, there may be
less erosion or a slowing pace to ratings erosion as DVRs penetrate households. There continue to be “must see” series such as American Idol for Fox from 2002 to 2012, Dancing with
the Stars for ABC from 2005 to 2012, Modern Family for ABC from 2009 to 2012, and the
NCIS's from CBS from 2003 to 2012, but many of these series have hit ratings and revenue
plateaus.
Each of the four major primetime networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) has substantially fewer
viewers today than five or ten years ago as shown in Exhibit 110, as well as an increasingly
aging average demographic. Since the networks’ heyday of the 1970s and early 1980s, when
the “Big Three” achieved combined primetime ratings in the 50%-60% range and captured
75%-90% of the primetime audience, the television marketplace and viewer loyalty have become meaningfully fragmented. Cable networks such as ESPN, Fox News, TNT, USA, FX,
TBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and especially those with growing original episodic programming,
successful pay cable original programming (Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Weeds, Dexter,

Band of Brothers, etc.), and extended sports programming (the ESPN suite of channels, Fox
Regional Sports Networks, etc.) have contributed to the broadcast network viewer and rating
declines over the past ten years (Exhibit 110). Given that many of the cable networks are
owned by primetime broadcast players, the ultimate economics have not gone away for ABC,
NBC, and FOX. The popularized Nielsen ratings do not reflect the time-shift viewership that
was enabled via some 44+ million homes with DVRs that are watching primetime broadcast
or cable network series outside the C+3 window. The DVR became part of the 2007-2008 statistical picture at season’s end. We also note the emergence of streaming by the networks on
their own websites, VOD by a number of MSOs/telcos, and iCasting (Apple and now others)
are creating millions of incremental viewers for a meaningful portion of the primetime schedule but without direct compensation from advertisers.

As illustrated above, combined live viewer network primetime ratings have declined nearly
3.9% annually over the past 11 television seasons, although the 2011/2012 season to date has
seen a nice uptick. The primary reason for most of the long-term decline has been viewers’
leisure time being absorbed by programming success for cable networks and the utilization of
DVRs, streaming, series downloads, and to some lesser extent on other leisure options such as
the Internet and video gaming. The latter options are often overweighed, in our opinion, as local TV viewership minutes continue to climb.
Primetime Programming
Primetime has certainly expanded from the four majors (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) to almost a
dozen as two Spanish language and at least six cable and pay networks have become frequent
suppliers of original series programming. Over and above are the hundreds of hours of original programming produced by Nickelodeon, Disney, and Warner for the 2-18 age demographic.
Reality programming (Idol-Fox, Survivor-CBS, Dancing with the Stars-ABC, The VoiceNBC, etc.), is generating more upfront profit on a typically smaller capital investment with
the downside being little-to-no back-end profits, much like sports and news programming.
That is, once you know who the number one Idol, Bachelor, Survivor, or Dancer is, there is
only a small audience that wants to review that series. Reality programming is now commanding over 20% of the network primetime schedule. The risk/reward ratio is so favorable for a
successful series that the format is likely to continue to represent a growing priority for network programmers.

New digital distribution portals for content, such as advertiser-supported streaming, iTunes, or
OTT web-based network sponsored streaming for example, have driven continual programming investment increases as the new sources of potential revenues make the ROIC trade-off
look favorable. We estimate that production investment dollars for primetime programming
has risen at a CAGR of about 3.6% over the past ten seasons. Investors continue to have some
dislocation and advertising fragmentation concerns as they integrate the impact of DVRs and
VOD on ratings and how consequential the emerging platforms will be to bottom-line fundamentals.
Exhibit 111 delineates the aggregate initial production costs to launch a one-hour series on
primetime programming over the past 21 television seasons. These costs do not aggregate
profit participations by talent (producers, writers, directors, actors) or residuals to production
participants. While the costs continue to increase at an inflation-multiple pace, the major networks continue to produce 50%-65% of their programming schedule each year because of the
favorable worldwide economics for programming and new/incremental revenue streams.

Exhibit 112 illustrates the percentage of network ownership of the programs broadcast by the
top networks. We have used a comparison of the 2007 to 2012 television seasons to analyze
the priority and philosophy the various networks have toward the ownership of their respective primetime schedules. ABC saw a decline in the 2006/2007 season owing to the move of
Monday Night Football from ABC to ESPN. Similarly, a portion of the increase for NBC is
its carriage of NFL on Sunday night. Previously, ESPN carried the Sunday night game.
Program ownership, whether in whole or in part, has been leveraged for each of the networks
as new end-point opportunities for consumers materialize. The traditional profit model for a
deficit-financed network run, which hoped to create 80 or more episodes and a stripsyndicated product that once led to significant profits, has now been replaced with the addition of TV-to-DVD, downloading (Disney has had more than 500 million downloads of five
of its most successful series, which nets revenue close to $0.90 per download on average), and
advertiser-supported streaming. Successful series have also benefited from owned and operated stations (O&Os) for the major networks. What was once a deficit-financed business has
now become a cash business for the top one-third of series on the air.

The traditional pilot season and development business has been radically changed since the
WGA strike and new Guild agreements. The practice of developing dozens of scripts for 30or 60-minute shows, with each costing $3-$7 million dollars to produce, had become a costly
and ineffective way of creating original primetime broadcast or cable network scripted series.
Typically, one out of ten of these pilots lasts into season two and close to one out of 20 makes
it to the traditional 65-80 episodes needed for a meaningful strip syndication run. In addition,
most studios maintained “housekeeping” deals with a handful or two of producer-writer teams
that created ideas and scripts exclusively, or at least for first look, for that studio-network, often adding tens of millions of dollars in studio overhead annually. Much of that process and a
majority of that overhead has come to an end in the aftermath of the 2008 WGA strike. Most
of the major television production studios have cut back on the number of pilots they produce
and eliminated many of their housekeeping deals. What is replacing the research and development script/pilot business is more long-form television series produced for cable networks
in 12- to 13-episode mini-seasons. We are now even seeing two 12-episode pods on some of
the more successful series, especially on cable networks that can program around big four
network original episode periods such as summer when reruns abound.
The network primetime broadcasters are also moving away from debuting new and returning
series exclusively or primarily in September. While using alternative start dates has its origin
at Fox because of the MLB playoffs and World Series and CBS (Survivor), all of the primetime broadcasters look to platform potentially highly successful series at alternative start periods so that they have the least amount of competition in acquiring a healthy sampling for their
new seasons.
These changes solidify the economic reality that television production is going to be controlled by a handful of players matched by the ten or so highly successful producers of television series (i.e., Dick Wolf, Steven Bochco, Jerry Bruckheimer, David Kelley, JJ Abrams,
David Wells, Donald Bellisario, etc.). The addition of reality programming on primetime
television has also led most of the primetime networks to devote more than 20% of their programming hours to the format. The establishment of key brands, most prominently characterized by Fox’s Idol, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and The Bachelor, and CBS’s Survivor and
Amazing Race, is what the television business is all about in terms of generating profitability
over a substantial period of time.

$1.99; and more recently as free VOD content. As Netflix, Roku, Hulu, and others feed their
constituencies, broader viewership is occurring. Less clear is the aggregate dollar opportunity,
although we reiterate: no one watches for free. Most of the other portals remain research and
development experiments for now with moderate advertising contribution relative to primary
broadcast outlet revenues. The following table profiles a representative, though frequently

The magnitude of streaming was close to 400 million episodes for ABC in 2011 out of some
800 million domestic paid downloads (or now even the growing hordes of subscription-based
downloads), which represents exceptionally high profit dollars, and at least a majority is incremental from a viewer who would not likely otherwise create a positive ratings impact. The

trade-off is that even if there is some cannibalization from broadcast TV, it should become
more financially beneficial each year.
The international markets have picked up over the past few years (satellite networks, etc.), increasing revenue for many of the hour-long action and drama series. Reality programming is
finding its way into the international markets as well but often as a licensed product for local
production that will resonate better with local audiences. Fortunately, these dynamics have
taken production deficits down meaningfully and are less of a financing factor or capital allocation battle than they were five to seven years ago. Also, the utilization of the back-end on
sister cable networks has become almost a given in the production decision-making process,
internalizing the economic benefit along most of the distribution pipeline. The occasional outliers, such as when Ugly Betty from Disney (ABC) went to TV Guide, will happen when the
third-party economics are compelling.
The following table outlines a collection of prices being paid for top-tier US-produced original television programming on a per episode basis in 12 key international territories. These
numbers in the aggregate push many series (top 25 at least) into the black on a cash basis.

Advertising
The advertising marketplace for most of the broadcasting segments has been far more robust
than most investors forecasted the past few years, either from upfront commitments or scatter
market pricing, which has provided broadcasters with a margin of confidence about the television broadcasting and cable network business, especially as retransmission fees begin to be
banked. The current unknowns surrounding advertising are the fragmentation to new media,
leading many on both the broadcasting/cable net side as well as the investment side to await
“the other shoe dropping” syndrome. That shoe, relative to television, has been hanging for
years.
The following table lays out the broad-based television-advertising revenue marketplace, although we note that new platform ad revenues are not counted in these numbers. The past
year saw close to double-digit upfront gains and national scatter pricing averaging up close to
20% throughout the year. From an advertiser’s perspective nationally, the economy is fine.

We believe the television advertising outlook for 2012-2013 will continue the typical upfront/scatter tug-o-war. The upfront market is becoming much less of a factor in advertising
revenue generation, given the evolution of programming (cable networks, 13 episode miniseasons, midyear or late-season starts, etc.) as well as buy-and-sell strategies. Upfront sales
were robust in 2011 (varied up high-single/low-double digits for the networks) on an approximately 80% sell-out level. Aggregate ad revenues now appear less tied to the upfront
combined pre-sale business, as scatter gains of low to mid-teens nationally are having a very
beneficial influence on total ad revenues. Scatter has once again proved more resilient in the
2011/2012 season to date, and it does not appear make-goods have taken much unsold inventory that would add to robust pricing in the scatter market.
The modest data bank from commercial ratings (C+3) has shown somewhat less erosion in
commercial viewing versus audience counts, the backbone of historical revenues, than many
expected. There appears to be an equally growing body of data that suggest ad awareness using a DVR or VOD platform gets high recall measurement.
Scatter market advertising is defined as advertising inventory that is not sold before the
primetime season begins or advertising inventory that has become available owing to cancelled season commitments. Scatter was strong in 2011, and sustained much of those gains in
the first quarter of 2012. The return of autos and financials helped an already robust environment in 2011, and political advertising will be a very positive variable this year (but nonexistent next, so we expect the chatter on advertising will turn negative in 2H12).
The primetime networks historically sell 70%-85% of their primetime advertising inventory
during the May-June upfront market. Exhibits 116, 117, and 118 illustrate upfront advertising
market activity over the past 12 years. We note that simply looking at advertising dollars sold
can be misleading as inventory sell levels fluctuate, which was the case for the 2009-2010
season when the four major networks sold 20% or so less inventory to secure targeted CPM
pricing (perhaps 60% of avails versus 75% or so most years). Conversely, ratings guarantees,
which fluctuate from network to network, have been pegged down 2%-4% annually the past
few years, reducing the need for as much inventory used on make-goods.
Total upfront ad sales have remained remarkably stable. Clearly, the 2011/2012 season continued the rebound from the low of 2009/2010. This seeming paradox reflects the value of audience reach by the major primetime networks despite its downward ratings spiral. The following exhibit details the upfront commitments for the past 12 years. We expect the
2012/2013 season to have CPMs in the upfront up by mid-single digits.

The introduction of the commercial ratings measurement tool, as well as DVR viewership
over three days post live broadcast, has changed some of the upfront dynamic. Confusion over
live ratings, C+3, C+7, and now mobile, OTT, and other delivery methods exists. We expect a
better tone, more upfront commitments, and the likelihood of better CPM pricing given the
strength in the current double-digit increase over the year in the scatter market.

Exhibit 118 outlines and details upfront advertising over the past 12 years. Three dynamics
are at work in the marketplace: CPMs, inventory levels sold, and ratings guarantees, each of
which contributes to the overall sales numbers. This should lead investors to consider factors
beyond aggregate numbers in generating ongoing analysis of the implications for the major
broadcasting networks.

The aggregate upfront headline numbers are often somewhat misleading in that they do not
reveal the percentage of advertising inventory sold to achieve aggregate upfront sales dollars.
Also, upfront revenue commitments are often diluted as ratings-driven cancellations and
make-goods, which can represent perhaps as much as 10% of upfront commitments, come
into play during the season. Also, there can be slippage as holds turn into orders or cancellations. Obviously, scatter market pricing trends have been significantly above the upfront, up
at the double-digits level according to recent network broadcaster commentary. While not the
20%-40% seen in the 2010/2011 season, it is still a good growth rate in absolute terms. We do
not believe make-goods have been the demand driver. This usually sets the stage for a healthy
upfront marketplace, although we see no upside to creating an unreasonable expectation this
far ahead of the May-June selling season. What advertisers have learned over the past two or
three years is that they can profitably sell or swap unused time secured in the upfront marketplace.
Retransmission Fees
Retransmission fee arrangements and negotiations will remain a center point for TV station
owners, cable, DBS, telco operators, and networks. Exhibit 119 details SNL Kagan’s projections for the magnitude of potential broadcast retransmission fees. It appears that some markets are approaching $1 per subscriber per month.

The debate is not settled on how much the non-owned and operated stations will kick back to
the networks, but it is meaningful. Disney has said it expects $400-$500 million annually by
2014-2015. This compares against the network’s current $800-$900 million total operating
income.

Broadcast Network Ratings
Exhibit 120 details ratings statistics for the broadcast marketplace. We note the following:

The CW has not moved ratings measurably higher than either of its predecessor networks,
The WB and UPN. One plus one did not end up equaling two.

We doubt deficit financing will go away completely, but many of the top series do not
carry deficits after the first season because of TV-to-DVD and iCasting revenues.

Ratings at the five major television broadcast networks continue to lose share to basic cable networks, especially as original series production accelerates.

Although overall ratings are very visible, most advertising dollars follow a select group of key
demographics and series. The most important target demographic for a majority of primetime
advertisers is Adults 18-49. The series and networks that generate the highest ratings in this
key demographic can typically command the highest premiums from advertisers. The following lists the top primetime broadcast television series for the key demographic.

Exhibit 124 outlines primetime network ratings generated by the key demographic over the
past 13 seasons and the 2011/2012 season to date. Idol (Fox) commanded 30-second spot
pricing in the $500,000-$700,000 range in 2011 with peaks in the $700,000-$900,000 for the
past few episodes. There will be a similar kind of upside when ABC’s Desperate Housewives
comes to its conclusion this season.

Part of cable’s ratings success over the past seven years in siphoning off primetime viewership has been the rapid increase in programming investment, as detailed in the Exhibit 125.

The success of series such as The Closer (TNT), White Collar (USA), Saving Grace (TNT),
Mad Men (AMC, debuted 3/25 after more than a five-quarter hiatus), Burn Notice (USA),
Damages (FX), and Trust Me (TNT) have played an important role in the gains cable has
made in taking audience share from the major broadcasting networks. These series typically
have harder-edge content, which may also play into their demographic success. Exhibit 126

Syndication
Another important component in the production activities of the major studios is television
syndication, which comes in basically two platforms: 1) first-run and 2) strip syndication, or
off-network syndication. First-run syndication programming represents the series local stations buy for original airing, including talk shows, news magazines, game shows, and reality
programs. Strip syndication represents previously aired “off-network” series produced mainly
for network primetime that local stations buy for re-airing Monday through Friday outside
primetime hours.
Syndication can be quite lucrative in either format. Strip syndication of a network primetime
series typically generates cash profits in the tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars. The
useful revenue half-life of some series can be decades, especially as cable networks have pro-

liferated and created programming demand. Downloads, TV-to-DVD, streaming and VOD
(via cable or telco) are just the new media version of strip syndication.

Syndication (first-run and strip) has remained a $4.0-billion-plus industry and has a unique
mixture of entertainment, game, reality (more and more, Alaska, Ghosts, Pawn, etc.), and
classic reruns of successful sitcoms and dramas.

Television: Trends and Perspectives
A member of BMO

Television production activity has never been stronger as a variety of cable networks such
as TNT, HBO, Starz, Showtime, AMC, and USA air significantly more scripted and reality (which may be scripted!) series, broadcasting networks move more series outside the
traditional fall premier window, and the hybrids (NFLX) create new series for nonlinear
networks.

The most prolific new production activity remains original programming for cable networks. Look for production dollars to be up close to double-digit percentages annually for
the next few years as millions of incremental viewers tune in to new series.

Advertising demand and dollars outstripped expectations for the primetime and cable
markets in 2011 as feared demand/supply concerns were overcome by a healthier economy and the return of absent advertisers materialized. The new fear, cord cutting, that presupposed that content, new and old, would be available at no cost and with no commercials is a myth.

We expect the four main primetime networks to maintain their high percentage of internally produced or owned series for their primetime programming needs. The CW has
clearly found a niche market in the 18-34 demographic, as has Univision and Telemundo
in the Hispanic language demographic. These series generally have positive economics for
their owners.

New and international distribution portals such as TV-to-DVD, streaming, DVR, IPTV,
and VOD have essentially eliminated much of the deficit financing for top-tier series.

Programming costs are rising faster than ad rates on both network and cable platforms.
This is due in part to the new distribution platforms that provide incremental dollars to
producers who in turn are pumping more dollars into enhanced creative resources (writers) and production values. We think networks are working hard to reposition production
economics at lower cost levels, but the only tangible success to date is lower housekeeping talent deal costs, which is meaningful.

Sports rights continue to be costly, but MLB and NHL agreements show few gains by the
leagues. NASCAR is growing as a bona fide sports rights platform. Live sports broadcasts
are a very important ad platform as the DVR era unfolds. 3D is the next application to enhance the allure of sports programming.

The 2012-2013 upfront is likely to have a positive bent as it kicks off in May. Upfront
sales have normalized as many advertisers learned painfully in 2009 to 2011 that scatter
market pricing is unlikely to dip below levels in upfront. There is no easy way to capture
advertising inventory cheap on the most broadly distributed networks. When would there
have been a more predictable time to gain negotiating leverage on CPMs? Unfortunately,
many had to go to the scatter market, pay up over 10%, and lose the ratings guarantees
that accompany upfront buys.


Many foreign markets have become more particular about buying US shows. Reality television is selling both previously produced episodes and formats that can be locally produced in the native language, but not for high dollar amounts away from American Idol.
Interestingly enough, many of the more successful reality series had their start in the UK.

Consumer demand for DVRs (principally in a satellite or cable box) has been robust, and
VOD usage has grown rapidly. Time shifting in the digital format can easily leave advertisers without a predictable platform, although data after three and half seasons seems to
reveal less fallout than feared a few years ago. Broadcast and cable networks continue to
pound the undercount drum with A.C. Nielsen in a measured fashion. It appears the ratings gurus are adapting to the new world of TV watching very slowly.

The shift in audience measurement as a core tool for ad dollar calculations makes DVR
penetration a more important mandate. Approximately 45 million households in the US
watch time-shifted television with a good portion of that outside the ad dollar boundaries.

We see less of a market for original broadcast product for television movies and miniseries—too costly, too short a shelf life, and too little foreign interest. We expect no rebound
in this long format programming.

The digital download market is growing rapidly. PriceWaterhouseCooper’s projections
see the digital download market growing from $456 million in 2010 to $1.04 billion in
2014. The 2011 estimated gain was over 20%. Those dollars are typically shared with the
producer/distributor and provider on a 70%/30% split.

We see more original programming for cable networks such as AMC, Lifetime, TNT, and
USA, as they differentiate themselves from “rerun” territory. Success these past few years,
including Mad Men, Fairly Legal, The Closer, White Collar, Walking Dead, and Burn Notice, is pushing more series development, especially as more adult content can create
higher back-end value, particularly in digital download and as nonlinear aggregators pump
dollars into production.


Fewer sitcoms and more reality and drama series are being produced as reality and actiondrama series have been attracting lots of after-viewing revenue. According to Nielsen,
roughly 65% of the 2011/2012 primetime television season was devoted to reality and
drama programming.

Web TV (Hulu, AOL, Amazon, Apple TV, Yahoo, MSN, etc.) is emerging as another important distribution portal. While ComScore numbers suggest usage in the high-singledigit millions per month range, much of the content has been of a clip nature and therefore
more reasonably classified as promotional. Clearly, full-episode product is coming to the
medium; monetizing it is in its infancy.

Hulu is a joint venture among News Corp, NBC/Comcast, and Disney, which enables
commercial sponsored streaming video of television programming and feature films in the
flash video format. The platform broadcasts Fox, NBC, PBS, E!, and Sundance, in addition to others. After Apple’s iCasting business, Hulu is emerging as one of the largest and
content admired internet streaming players. Going public, going paid subscriber, going international…never a dull moment.

According to Nielsen, mobile internet users (83.2 million) spend 3% of their time watching video and movies, still a small percentage of the more than 122 million smart phones
in the US. This opportunity continues to have significant intellectual and marketing capital
directed to garnering further usage.

Over-the-top video services are gaining visibility as one more portal for consumer access.
According to SNL, an estimated 26.3 million households have OTT devices (principally
game consoles, Ethernet enabled TVs, and discrete set top boxes) installed. The consumer
intrigue revolves around enabling a substitution of multi-channel content aggregators.
Challenges remain, content access being the primary one. Why would most content providers grant access without compensation beyond current Internet-based offerings? Stay
tuned.

Carmike Cinemas
(CKEC - $13.45; Market Perform)
Company Description
Carmike Cinemas is the fourth-largest motion picture
exhibitor in the US, operating 235 theaters with 2,217 screens
located in 36 states. The company’s strategy targets small to
mid-sized non-urban markets, where it tends to be the sole
operator and can typically build and operate its theaters at a
lower cost than those operating in major metropolitan cities.
More than 80% of the company's theaters are located in
communities with populations of fewer than 100,000, and
approximately 60% of its screens operate without local
competition. The company generates the vast majority of its
revenues from feature film ticket sales and concessions,
although alternative film events are beginning to gain traction.
The company was early and very aggressive in implementing
digital projection systems and now has 2,089 digital screens
and 726 3-D enabled screens.

Investment Consideration and Valuation
We have been “neutral” in our opinion of CKEC since early
2008, as the prospect for decent earnings were dampened by
the weakening economic climate (CKEC’s customers are
relatively more affected by higher food and fuel costs), and the
leveraged capital structure would require a long-term fix. We
continue to rate CKEC MARKET PERFORM, but signs of
operating improvements are becoming more visible; the
formerly high net debt burden has been reduced by a fourmillion-share offering, cash flows are impressive and land
value could provide some floor to valuation. Our 9- to 15month target of $14 is based on a 5.5x EV/EBITDA multiple.

Momentum

Carmike dominates the smaller market segment of the exhibition industry with a strong southeastern U.S. presence.

The company’s $3.95 per share of free cash flow in 2011 (a 29% yield on the current price) should remain healthy in
2012, given a favorable outlook for 1Q and 4Q.

Film buying can make a difference in this circuit as per theater screen averages enable it to play all films in the
marketplace at the same time, although its digital projector footprint gives it greater access and flexibility with films.

CKEC’s real estate holdings from its ownership of 25% or so of its theater properties may provide a source of capital in
the years to come.

Free cash flow is consistently being directed to debt reduction, a positive investment variable in our view. A recent fourmillion-share offering improved the company’s capitalization.

Carmike’s strategy of dominating cities with populations of fewer than 100,000 has allowed it to operate more than half
its theaters without competition.
Challenges
 Restricted capex in prior years is leading to higher maintenance requirements.

Rising gas prices could dampen attendance totals. CKEC has had sensitivity to gas prices in the past.

The company must capitalize on projected 2012 box office revenues, while maintaining operating discipline in terms of
costs.

Indexing with the industry has been a continual challenge.

Geography does affect the receptivity of some very successful films.
Risks
Risks to our investment thesis for CKEC include a worse-than-expected showing for 2012 film product at the domestic box
office, financial requirements that could pressure the company’s balance sheet, or adverse geopolitical, regional or world
health issues, and/or weather events as a major portion of the company’s footprint is within the U.S. hurricane zone.

Cinemark Holdings
(CNK - $22.29; Outperform)
Securities Info
Company Description
Cinemark is the third-largest theatrical exhibitor with 5,152
screens; 78% of those screens are in the North American
market. Cinemark has run a very profitable theater circuit by
focusing on higher domestic population growth areas
(Southwest), as well as clustering screens strategically in
selected metropolitan and suburban markets. Internationally,
Cinemark has built a strong and growing presence in 17 of the
top 20 cities in Latin America (primarily Brazil, Argentina and
Mexico) and should continue to devote resources to this highgrowth region. Its investment in National CineMedia, Inc
(NCMI), 17.5 million shares, will allow the company to
benefit from the growing onscreen advertising and event
businesses, while DCIP funding has allowed for the rapid
rollout of digital 3-D screens to all first-run theaters to
capitalize on the wave of 3-D content coming from
Hollywood.

We believe the company’s pricing power for admissions,
EBITDA growth, digital opportunity, and modest valuation
relative to its growth rate are attractive factors for growth,
EPS, value, and income investors. We note its annual yield of
3.8% is an incremental plus for investors. We remain bullish
on the stock given the 2012 film outlook (strong 1Q and 4Q
expected), benefits from DCIP funding, and encouraging
growth opportunities in Latin America. CNK is the de facto
growth stock in the U.S. exhibition industry. We have a 9- to
15-month price target of $29 for CNK. Our target is based on
a DCF analysis, which uses an 8.0x terminal EBITDA, plus

Momentum
 Ticket pricing power (aided by Latin American upside), a rapid digital screen/3-D rollout, Latin American screen count
growth, and lower interest expense should lead to mid-20s percentage earnings growth in 2012.

CNK is growing faster than the industry, driven largely by its Latin American operations.

The domestic box office should be strong in 1Q and 4Q12, although with less visibility in the summer season at this
point.

Satellite network content delivery is coming, allowing for further efficiencies in the projector room.

The company has completed its digital projector rollout, and RealD 3-D installation at its first-run theaters.

Dividend yield is a positive for investors.

XD, Cinemark’s large screen format, and VIP auditoriums are seeing very positive ROIC. Expect this business to grow
meaningfully over the next three years.
Challenges
 Creative cyclicality of film product is an uncontrollable variable.

Capital expenditures allocated to new theater growth could provide lower initial ROIC and thus dampen EPS growth
expectations.

The company has a new CEO, and although a Cinemark and industry veteran, there could be a transitional period as he
settles into the new position.
Risks
Risks to our target include an unexpected downturn for domestic box office receipts, as well as weather, public health issues,
geopolitics (especially in Latin America) and general market conditions.

Cineplex
(CGX - $29.85; Outperform)
Company Description
Cineplex controls approximately 65% of theatrical screens in
Canada with 130 theaters, 1,352 screens, and 396 3-D enabled
screens and is the fifth-largest theater circuit in North
America. By the end of summer 2012, all of Cineplex’s
screens should have digital projectors. Cineplex should be able
to leverage its dominant core exhibition business (movies and
high-margin concessions) with its newer businesses (media
advertising, UltraViolet, and online film and digital/3-D) over
the next three to five years, complemented nicely by its
customer loyalty program and online businesses, to grow
earnings and cash flow.

Cineplex dominates the Canadian exhibition marketplace.
While the traditional exhibition business is mature, the
business should see modest screen growth from the closure of
older theater complexes and opening of stadium seating
multiplexes (7-14 screens). The company should also see a
measurable benefit as technology (digital projection and 3-D)
enhances the film-going experience and likely provides some
reasonable improvement in attendance levels. The company’s
core business, which is a low- to mid-single-digit EBITDA
grower (ticket pricing and screen additions), is complemented
by its growth (mid-single to double-digit percentages) and
high-margin (85%) media businesses (principally on-screen
advertising and digital signage) and in-theater gaming
equipment business. Our 9- to 15-month target of C$32 is
based on a DCF valuation, which uses a 7.0x terminal
EBITDA multiple.

Momentum
 Cineplex dominates the largest provinces and cities in Canada with 66% of the screens and more than 80% of the box
office gross.

CGX controls more than 90% of on-screen advertising in Canada, which represents a positive growth driver.

The company’s customer loyalty program (SCENE) now has 3.3 million members. The data and marketing advantages
are a monetizable asset for studio marketing purposes.

Film product should help contribute to higher earnings and cash flow growth.

3-D enabled screens (396 now, likely to grow to roughly 500 this year) should provide revenue and earnings upside.

Digital display is a very complementary advertising business for CGX in a number of its key markets and should
complement nicely its on-screen advertising business.

The company is a member of the UltraViolet consortium and will leverage its SCENE membership and technological
investment over the past five years in the digital streaming and download business.

Fuel price increases have not typically had an impact on Cineplex’s theater admissions.
Challenges
 It is unlikely that CGX can expand its theater footprint in Canada via acquisition given its 65% market share of screens.

Average daily trading volume may limit some institutional investor interest.

Creative cycles in film product are uncontrollable.
Risks
The primary risks to our target include unexpected negative box office comparisons, further changes in tax laws that could
alter tax advantages or utilization of the tax pool, delays in the rollout of digital, a downturn in advertising, extraordinary
geopolitical or health events, and general market conditions.

DreamWorks Animation SKG
(DWA - $17.42; Outperform)
Company Description
DreamWorks Animation SKG is principally devoted to
developing and producing computer-generated 3-D animated
feature films as well as exploiting related media and consumer
products that come from its creative resources. The company
possesses a team of world-class creative talent with significant
production experience. DWA produces two feature-length
animated films per year, one for release during the summer
and one for release in the holiday period. The company’s
current franchises include Shrek, Madagascar, How to Train
Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda. The company is
leveraging its creative content through television production
(The Penguins of Madagascar, How to Train Your Dragon,
and Kung Fu Panda) as well as a whole host of TV specials
and related consumer products. The company appears to be
moving toward self-distribution once its output agreement
with Viacom/Paramount expires at the end of the year.
Oriental DreamWorks (Chinese JV) will give DWA more
capital and greater access to the Chinese-speaking world.
DWA is best labeled a glamour cyclical in that it typically
trades around its movie releases and earnings results for its
films. It is growing its TV production business nicely and
should benefit from its new Oriental DreamWorks joint
venture over the years to come. DWA owns its US production
facilities, which we estimate are worth $3-$4 per share. We
have a 9- to 15-month price target of $25 for DWA. Our target
is based on a blend of DCF, EV/EBITDA and private market
valuations. We rate DWA shares OUTPERFORM.

Momentum
 DreamWorks creates very profitable film franchises (Shrek, Madagascar, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu
Panda) and related spin-offs (Shrek the Halls, The Penguins of Madagascar, Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins
from Outer Space, etc.).

Cash on balance sheet is approaching $2.00 per share and growing rapidly as it has already sufficient working capital
for its production platform.

2012 slate expectations are high: Madagascar 3 (6/8/12) and The Rise of the Guardians (11/21/12).

DWA will release three films in 2013: The Croods (3/22/13), Turbo (7/19/13), and Me and My Shadow (11/13/13).

Enhanced consumer experience and ticket pricing upside drives 3-D focus.

We expect merchandise and licensing to become more visible factors to DWA earnings in 2012.

We expect DWA will negotiate a new distribution agreement, with or without Viacom, improving its economics
meaningfully.

The Chinese JV will enhance DWA’s film library, broaden its worldwide production expertise, give almost unparalleled
access to the Chinese market, and likely be an incremental source of profits in 2014 and beyond.
Challenges
 EPS comparisons swing widely as successes and less successful films ebb and flow.

DVD sales have been trending lower for the industry and, to a lesser extent, DWA. With upward of 50% of profit
dollars coming from home video, DWA may experience less profit dollars than its previous success in the industry.
Risks
Risks to an investment in DWA include high expectations for its upcoming films, which, if disappointing, would compress
the company’s valuation, competition from other animated or family-oriented films that could dampen box office or home
video results, general market conditions, and geopolitical, world health, or weather-related events.

Company Description
Lions Gate Entertainment engages in the production and
distribution of motion pictures, television programming, home
entertainment, and related media and entertainment. Its
theatrical movies include its in-house production and films
acquired from third parties. The company distributes a library
(owned or licensed) of approximately 10,500 motion picture
titles and 7,500 television episodes and programs directly to
retailers, video rental stores, and pay and free television
channels in the United States and throughout the world.
Streaming and iCasting are emerging as important revenue
sources for TV product, especially as EPIX and FEARnet
grow. The company continues to enlarge its library, massively
improve its creative resources and production capability, and
grow its distribution capabilities through acquisitions such as
the recent Summit Entertainment acquisition, which brought
the immensely profitable Twilight franchise to Lions Gate.

Lions Gate has amassed a significant film and television
library with growing internal distribution capability. The
company has built a highly successful television production
business (Mad Men, Weeds, Nurse Jackie, Crash, Dead Zone,
etc.), which is making significant revenue and EBITDA
contributions. The stock has soared recently with the Summit
Entertainment acquisition and building anticipation for The
Hunger Games, which has attracted significant momentumplayer capital. We have a $14 price target on LGF over the
next 9-15 months, which is based on a DCF model that uses
and 9.0x terminal EBITDA multiple. We rate LGF MARKET
PERFORM.

Momentum
 The library continues to be the cornerstone of value foundation, generating close to $60 million of EBITDA annually.

The growth quotient from television production has been very healthy. Weeds, Mad Men, Crash, Dead Zone, Nurse
Jackie, Wendy Williams Show, Meet the Browns, Family Feud, and House of Payne are very attractive assets, in our
view.

The risk-reward strategy in films (low budget, pre-sales, moderate returns) has enabled the creation of successful
franchises (Saw, Tyler Perry films) and Academy Award winning titles (Crash, Monster’s Ball, Juno, Precious).
Although the company deviated from this approach a few years ago, a “return to basics” is likely and can happen in
short order.

The Hunger Games’ record March 23 opening has legs. The film should be highly profitable for LGF, and its stature as
a certified franchise augurs well for future earnings and cash flow.

Summit should add more than $180 million to EBITDA in FY2013-FY2014.
Challenges
 Earnings volatility and variance from consensus have been significant over the past year or so. The most recent
quarterly results (FY3Q12) were no exception.

Free cash flow growth is stagnant as production and distribution catch up to accounting, but this could change with
Summit and The Hunger Games series of films.
Risks
Risks to an investment in Lions Gate include the volatility of film and television production results, the capital-intensive
nature of the industry, and competition from better-capitalized companies as well as geopolitical, weather or world health
events.

News Corp’s valuation has improved recently via an
improving worldwide advertising environment (advertising
revenues are roughly 44% of its business), which affects the
profitability of the Fox Network, television stations,
newspapers, magazines, and cable networks. The Filmed
Entertainment business has been showing favorable
comparisons the past few quarters as the success of Avatar has
been anniversaried. Less troubling currently are the U.K.
hacking incidents. NWSA has an excellent balance sheet with
net debt at 1.0x LTM EBITDA and a broad portfolio of equity
holdings (BSkyB, Sky Deutschland, Sky Network Television,
NDS, etc.) that enhance its value. At 8.2x estimated FY2012
adjusted EV/EBITDA, we believe NWSA is fairly valued
versus its peers. Thus, we rate NWSA MARKET PERFORM
with a 9- to 15-month price target of $19. Our target is based
on a DCF analysis that uses an 9.0x terminal EBITDA
multiple.

Momentum
 Decent growth continues for cable networks with benefits of higher subscription fees from cable MSOs and better
ratings.

Earnings and valuation were severely depressed during the 2011 share price downturn and then by the uncertainty
surrounding the News of the World (NOTW) hacking scandal. Much of the “fear factor” has dissipated.

Cable Network Programming and Television should be healthy the remainder of 2012.

A valuation at an adjusted EV/EBITDA multiple of just 8.6x and P/E at just 14.9x is highly attractive to value investors,
in our opinion, but the scandal remains an overhang.

Massive share repurchases are providing an underlying support to valuation.

A spin-off of newspapers would likely neutralize any investment concern in the company.
Challenges
 The film slate will have difficulty exceeding the strong results seen in calendar 2011, although recent quarterly
comparisons have been favorable.

Newspaper and other publishing businesses are showing lackluster results, partially owing to the advertising cycle and
partially owing to secular trends away from print media (spin it off!).

A stronger US dollar would hurt results in 2012.
Risks
Risks to an investment in NWSA include an adverse outcome to investigations and lawsuits related to the NOTW hacking
scandal, changes in economic conditions (especially in the US, China, and India), changes in investor sentiment over more
new and old media investments, competition in the multi-channel television arena, adverse political, public health, or
weather-related events.

RealD is the dominant leading provider of 3-D cinema
systems. We believe the worldwide customer demand for 3-D
films will continue to grow as the quantity of films expands
and quality of 3-D improves. We think RLD is uniquely
positioned to capitalize on this expected favorable 3-D box
office trend. We view any progress toward an expanded
consumer electronics business to represent upside for
investors. We have a 9- to 15-month price target of $15 for
RLD. Our target is based on a 10.0x EV/EBITDA multiple.
We rate RLD OUTPERFORM.

Momentum
 More 3D screens, growing to 25,000 by 2014.

More 3D movies, growing to 40-45 annually in 2012.

Patents and creative relationships significantly raise barriers to U.S. entry.

Capturing greater theatrical 3-D market share internationally.
Challenges
 Eyewear losses neutralized in FY2012, but Sony and other studios are likely to shed eyewear subsidies starting in 2012.

Understanding of consumer electronics opportunity: display, format, eyewear, etc.

3-D box office percentages quite variable.

Consumer electronics opportunities are unquantifiable.

Margin fluctuations.

Auditing China and India admissions, per film license less profitable.
Risks
The primary risks to our target include technological obsolescence, consumer shifts away from 3-D, sentiment around
percentages of box office from 3-D, poor uptake of IP in consumer electronics, underperformance of 3-D films, changes in
the license and eyewear business model, potential for patent challenges, and general market and economic conditions.

Company Description
Regal Entertainment Group operates a geographically diverse
theater circuit in the US, consisting of 6,614 screens in 527
theaters in 40 states with 2,767 3-D enabled screens. The
company was built over the past ten years through the
combination of the Regal, United Artists, Edwards, Hoyt,
Signature, Eastern Federal, and Consolidated Theaters (among
others). Regal’s 22.1 million shares of National CineMedia,
the largest on-screen advertiser and event programmer in the
U.S., are valued at $340 million. Regal should benefit from
anticipated healthy box office trends in the first and fourth
quarters and 3-D films available in 2012. The company has
2,767 3-D capable screens representing almost 42% of its
circuit.

Regal is the largest theater operator in the US. National
CineMedia, Inc (NCMI) provides a lucrative revenue stream
for its theater chains and has created substantial shareholder
value. Management has distributed roughly $21 per share in
cash dividends to shareholders over the past nine years. Regal
should generate meaningful free cash flow in 2012 to de-lever
or expand through acquisition if an accretive opportunity
arises. Its dividend yield of 6.3% is also highly attractive to
investors, in our view. We have a 9- to 15-month price target
of $19 for RGC. Our target is based on an 8.0x EV/EBITDA
multiple, plus for the implied value of its National CineMedia
stake. We rate RGC OUTPERFORM.

Momentum
 Regal controls close to 17% of total screens in North America and a similar percentage of the domestic box office.

Its dividend yield (6.3%) and adjusted EBITDA multiple make it attractive to value and income-oriented mid-cap
investors, in our view.

Consolidation (Hoyts, Signature Eastern Federal circuits, Consolidated) at accretive valuations can still enhance
EBITDA and EPS growth longer term.

Regal has a significant opportunity to leverage its dominance of most of the top 50 DMAs in the online and event
(sports, opera, concerts, WWE, etc.) businesses.

Should be a major beneficiary of positive box office trends and digital 3-D content and pricing in 1Q12 and 4Q12.

Industry consolidation is likely in 2012-2013 as the expense of digitalization looms for smaller circuits. We see this as
an opportunity for RGC to do regional tuck-in acquisitions.

A $316 million stake in NCMI is worth $2.05 per RGC share.
Challenges
 Industry revenue fluctuations on success quotient of film product released.

NCMI’s growth has been volatile in tandem with the advertising environment.

Indexing consistently with the industry.
Risks
The primary risks to the company include geopolitical events, health, and general market conditions, variability of feature
film success, or action by the company’s principal and controlling shareholders that could be at odds with the public equity
holders or trader interest.

The company restructured itself (spinning off Time Warner
Cable and AOL in 2009) to better maximize the value of its
media businesses (we think magazines are the next to go). The
company’s core assets, especially cable networks and studios,
have performed relatively well over the past four years, and
the company continues to leverage the benefits of the
improving dynamics in its online businesses (both subscribers
and advertising). The company has significant cash on its
balance sheet and liquidity to generate growth through
acquisitions. We rate the stock OUTPERFORM with a 9- to
15-month price target of $46. Our target is based on a DCF
analysis, which uses an 8.0x terminal EBITDA multiple.

Momentum
 Completion of cable and AOL spin-off transactions (and we believe magazine publishing is next) is continuing to give a
boost to TWX’s valuation multiple, a better financial position, and “dry powder” for acquisitions.

The market is keenly watching for the potential use of the company’s remaining $3.5 billion of cash. Share repurchases
and dividends have been very visible components of their capital allocation process.

Warner Bros. had a great 2011 at the movies; 2012 is very promising (Dark Shadows, Rock of Ages, The Dark Knight
Rises, The Hobbit).
Challenges
 The now divested Cable assets had been an important growth driver in the past. Armed with a healthier balance sheet, it
is imperative that management operate the remaining businesses well to drive shareholder value.

Redesigning CNN (formats, on-air personalities, etc.) is a year-plus into the process and can yield significant
shareholder rewards, if successful.

Nagging fears about cord-cutting seem to weigh on valuation from time to time.
Risks
The primary risks for TWX shareholders include geopolitical, world health, natural disasters, and general market conditions,
adverse changes in profitability from its creative content businesses, or changes in sentiment related to its more staid
magazine holdings.

Viacom’s two primary businesses, cable networks and film
production and distribution, have become much healthier in
the past year as advertising has made much higher
contributions. Cable networks are seeing ratings
improvements at MTV, BET, and CMT, which will likely
continue to enhance earnings and investor sentiment.
Advertising comps are favorable in most of the world and if
ratings improvements can be achieved, expect higher EPS to
follow. It will be a very good year for Paramount with inhouse production (G.I. Joe 2, The Dictator, and World War 2)
and distributed product (Madagascar 3, The Rise of the
Guardians). We have a 9- to 15-month price target of $59
based on a DCF valuation that uses a 9.0x terminal EBITDA
multiple. We rate VIA.B OUTPERFORM.

Momentum
 Programming franchises and advertising reach are impressive on a global basis – MTV and Nickelodeon being the best
examples.

Recent cable-network carriage agreements ensure long-term growth in subscriber fees for the next five to seven years at
very favorable levels (8%-10% plus on average).

DreamWorks Animation provides film product that generates significant distribution dollars (more than $100 million of
EBITDA annually) and enhances Paramount’s distribution clout (likely soon to go away).

Paramount Studios has reduced overhead by more than $300 million annually over the past few years, a positive for
profitability.

The company now pays regular quarterly dividends and has a major buyback program in place, which have improved
investor sentiment.
Challenges
 Replacing profits from lost distribution agreement with DreamWorks Animation (2013).

Ratings at Nickelodeon and MTV have been depressed and will take time to rebuild.
Risks
The primary risks for Viacom investors include geopolitical events, world health issues, general market conditions, the
economy and its influence on the advertising marketplace, execution at the divisional level, and any disruption in contentcreation businesses.

Disney management has generated a significant rebound in
earnings over the past few years as it successfully engineered
a turnaround at the ABC Network and leveraged ESPN and
Disney Channels in growing its profitability. The Theme Park
and Resort results have demonstrated a healthy attendance and
per capita spending stability due to better consumer demand,
which has helped push margins. ESPN continues to be a
market leader and significant contributor to operating income.
We have a $53 price target for Disney over the next 9-15
months. Our target is based on a blend of a DCF valuation,
which uses a 10.0x terminal EBITDA multiple and a 16.3x
P/E (its seven-year TTM average). We rate the stock
OUTPERFORM.

Momentum:
 ESPN has an exceptionally profitable operating profile, which should continue through FY2012.

Theme park and resort attendance levels were up by low-single digit percentages in FY2011 and per cap spending was
up by mid-single digit percentages. FY2012 is off to a good start and should be up by at least low-double-digit
percentages for operating income.

Theme park expansion (Aulani, Disney Dream/Fantasy, Disney California Adventure redesign, three new parks in Hong
Kong, new Shanghai park, hotels, etc.) should drive close to $800 million in incremental EBITDA (on top of the current
$1.6 billion) over the next four years.

The Marvel acquisition at year-end 2009 restocks the creative resource pool for Disney (films, TV, merchandise, and
licensing) and makes it the world’s dominant comic book publisher.

The company continues to repurchase significant amounts of its own stock from its significant free cash flow.

At just 1.1x debt-to-LTM EBITDA, balance sheet remains one of the least levered among the major entertainment
conglomerates.
Challenges:
 Investor concerns over consumer businesses: advertising and theme parks.

Improving the international theme park financials.
Risks
The main risks to investors include economic, geopolitical events, weather, public health and general market conditions,
impact from the economic downturn, lack of ratings success in its television businesses, variability of results from its
content-creation businesses, uncontrollable changes in advertising rates, and a change in investor sentiment that could affect
equity valuation.
