        BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported earnings for
the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 29, 2008. Diluted earnings
per share (EPS) for the second quarter increased to $0.58, compared to $0.44 in the
prior-year quarter. Earnings per share from continuing operations in the prior-year
quarter totaled $0.43.
        For the six-month period, diluted EPS was $1.21. EPS for the prior-year six-
month period, which included gains on sales of our interests in E! Entertainment
and Us Weekly, income from the discontinued operations of the ABC Radio
business, and an equity-based compensation plan modification charge, which were
all recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, were $1.24. Excluding these items,
EPS for the six-month period increased 30% to $1.21 from $0.93 in the prior-year six
months.
        “We had an outstanding quarter financially and creatively at The Walt Disney
Company,” said Robert A. Iger, president and chief executive officer. “This
performance demonstrates how The Disney Difference gives us a critical and
sustainable market advantage. That difference centers on our proven ability to create
high-quality content across our wide-ranging distribution and promotional
platforms, allowing us to leverage our hits and grow our company.”

                     Hyperion Publishing in the Media Networks segment. Previously, Hyperion Publishing had been
                     reported in the Consumer Products segment. Prior-period amounts (which are not material) have been
                     reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
                     Operating results of the ABC Radio business are reported as discontinued operations for the prior-year
             (2)

                     quarter and six months and therefore have been excluded from the prior-year quarter and six-month
                     segment results.

    Cable Networks
           Operating income at Cable Networks increased 14% to $1.1 billion for the
    quarter primarily due to growth at ESPN and, to a lesser extent, higher income from
    our cable equity investments. The growth at ESPN was driven by higher affiliate
    revenue primarily due to contractual rate increases and subscriber growth, and
    advertising revenues driven by higher rates, partially offset by higher programming,
    administrative and marketing costs. Higher programming costs were driven by
    increased rights costs arising from college basketball contract renewals. Growth
    from our cable equity investments was primarily due to higher affiliate and
    advertising revenue at Lifetime and A&E.

    Broadcasting
            Operating income at Broadcasting increased 17% to $223 million for the
    quarter primarily due to the strong performance of ABC Studios productions in
    international markets, led by Grey’s Anatomy and Lost. This growth was partially
    offset by the impact of the Writer’s Guild of America strike which limited the airing
    of original scripted programming in primetime on the ABC Television Network
    resulting in lower ratings and advertising revenues. The negative impact of the
    strike on advertising revenue was partially offset by higher advertising rates and
    lower programming costs due to the reduction in hours of original scripted
    programming.


    Parks and Resorts
            Parks and Resorts revenues for the quarter increased 11% to $2.7 billion and
    segment operating income increased 33% to $339 million. Operating income growth
    was due to improved results in our domestic businesses and at Disneyland Resort
    Paris, both of which were favorably impacted by the shift of the Easter holiday from
    the third quarter in fiscal 2007 to the second quarter in fiscal 2008.



                                                 3
Domestic Resorts
        Operating income growth at the domestic businesses was primarily due to
increased guest spending and theme park attendance at the Walt Disney World
Resort and higher revenues at Disney Vacation Club, partially offset by higher
operating costs at the Walt Disney World Resort. Increased guest spending was due
to higher average daily hotel room rates, higher average ticket prices and increased
food and beverage spending. Higher attendance was primarily driven by the benefit
of the shift of the Easter holiday. The increase in operating costs was driven by labor
cost inflation, new guest offerings and volume-related expenses. The benefit from
higher revenues at Disney Vacation Club reflected extensions of the term of
ownership on certain existing vacation home properties and higher rentals of
vacation club units.

International Resorts
       Operating income growth at Disneyland Resort Paris was primarily due to
increased attendance and higher guest spending, partially offset by higher operating
costs. Increased guest spending was driven by higher average daily hotel room
rates. Higher operating costs were driven by volume-related expenses and labor
cost inflation.


Studio Entertainment
        Studio Entertainment revenues for the quarter increased 18% to $1.8 billion
and segment operating income increased 61% to $377 million. Segment operating
income growth was primarily due to increases in domestic home entertainment and
worldwide theatrical distribution.
        The growth in domestic home entertainment was driven by higher unit sales
reflecting the performance of current quarter titles, which included Enchanted, Game
Plan and No Country for Old Men as compared to Peter Pan Platinum Release, The
Guardian and The Prestige in the prior-year quarter.
        The increase in worldwide theatrical distribution was driven by lower
distribution expenses due to significant marketing costs in the prior-year quarter for
Meet the Robinsons, which was released at the end of March 2007, and the domestic
performance of current quarter titles led by the continued success of National
Treasure 2: Book of Secrets and the release of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both
Worlds. In international markets, the improvement was primarily due to the strong
performance of Enchanted and National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets.


Consumer Products
        Consumer Products revenues for the quarter increased 10% to $551 million
and segment operating income decreased 14% to $107 million. Lower segment
operating income for the quarter was primarily due to lower recognition of
minimum guarantee revenues at Merchandise Licensing and decreased revenue
from licensed product at Disney Interactive Studios reflecting our continuing
transition towards self-published titles. These decreases were partially offset by
                                           4
higher earned royalties at Merchandise Licensing and higher sales of self-published
titles at Disney Interactive Studios. Higher earned royalties were driven by sales of
Hannah Montana and High School Musical merchandise and increased sales at Disney
Interactive Studios reflected the performance of Turok and High School Musical in the
current quarter compared to Meet the Robinsons and Spectrobes in the prior-year
quarter.


OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Corporate and Unallocated Shared Expenses
      Corporate and unallocated shared expenses decreased from $130 million to
$98 million for the quarter driven by an increase in the allocation of costs to the
business segments and the timing of expenses in various corporate departments.

Net Interest Expense
      Net interest expense was as follows (in millions):

                                                     Quarter Ended

      Net interest expense                    $    (147 )     $    (130 )

      The increase in interest expense for the quarter was primarily due to higher
average debt balances.

Minority Interests
      Minority interest expense increased from $3 million to $50 million for the
quarter due to the impacts of decreased losses at Hong Kong Disneyland and
Disneyland Resort Paris and increased profits at ESPN. The minority interest is
determined on income after royalties, financing costs and income taxes.

            financial measures that follows below.


       Cash provided by operations increased by $567 million to $3.3 billion
primarily due to higher segment operating income and the timing of payments for
accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by the timing of accounts
receivable collections and higher investments in Disney Vacation Club properties.

       The total borrowings shown above include $3,930 million and $3,583 million
attributable to Euro Disney and Hong Kong Disneyland as of March 29, 2008 and
September 29, 2007, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents attributable to Euro
Disney and Hong Kong Disneyland totaled $594 million and $604 million as of
March 29, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively.


                                                7
In April 2008, the Company completed the redemption of its $1.3 billion of
2.125% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the Notes). Substantially all of the Notes
were converted into common stock based on the conversion ratio of 33.9443 for each
$1,000 of principal, resulting in the issuance of 45 million shares of the Company’s
common stock.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
       This earnings release presents earnings per share excluding certain items, net
borrowings, free cash flow, and aggregate segment operating income, all of which
are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures
defined by GAAP.
       These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP
financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of earnings per
share, borrowings, cash flow or net income as determined in accordance with
GAAP. Earnings per share excluding certain items, net borrowings, free cash flow,
and aggregate segment operating income as we have calculated them may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Earnings per share excluding certain items – The Company uses earnings per share
excluding certain items to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations
exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to
period, including significant dispositions and acquisitions. In the prior-year six
months, these items included gains on sales of equity investments in E!
Entertainment and Us Weekly, income from the discontinued ABC Radio business
and a charge related to a modification of equity-based compensation plans in
connection with the ABC Radio transaction. The Company believes that information
about earnings per share exclusive of these impacts is useful to investors,
particularly where the impact of the excluded items is significant in relation to
reported earnings, because the measure allows for comparability between periods of
the operating performance of the Company’s business and allows investors to
evaluate separately the impact of decisions regarding the sale and acquisition of
interests in businesses from the impact of the operations of the business. The
following table reconciles reported earnings per share to earnings per share
excluding certain items:

Net borrowings – The Company believes that information about net borrowings
provides investors with a useful perspective on our financial condition. Net
borrowings reflect the subtraction of cash and cash equivalents from total
borrowings. Since we earn interest income on our cash balances that offsets a
portion of the interest expense we pay on our borrowings, net borrowings can be
used as a measure to gauge net interest expense. In addition, a portion of our cash
and cash equivalents is available to repay outstanding indebtedness when the
indebtedness matures or when other circumstances arise. However, we may not
immediately apply cash and cash equivalents to the reduction of debt, nor do we
expect that we would use all of our available cash and cash equivalents to repay
debt in the ordinary course of business.

Free cash flow – The Company uses free cash flow (cash provided by continuing
operations less investments in parks, resorts and other property), among other
measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available
for purposes other than capital expenditures. Management believes that
information about free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective
on the cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments
and pay dividends or repurchase shares.

Aggregate segment operating income – The Company evaluates the performance of
its operating segments based on segment operating income, and management uses
aggregate segment operating income as a measure of the performance of operating
businesses separate from non-operating factors. The Company believes that
information about aggregate segment operating income assists investors by allowing
them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of
businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus
providing separate insight into both operations and the other factors that affect
reported results.

    (1)   The calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes
          issued in April 2003 and adds back interest expense (net of tax) of $6 million and $11 million for the quarter and six
          months ended March 29, 2008, respectively, and $6 million and $11 million for the quarter and six months ended
          March 31, 2007, respectively.
    (2)   Earnings per share may not equal the sum of the column due to rounding.

walt disney Quarter 2008 2nd

  • 1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 6, 2008 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS • EPS from continuing operations for the second quarter increased 35% to $0.58 compared to $0.43 in the prior-year quarter • Net income for the quarter increased 22% to $1.1 billion • Segment operating income for the quarter increased 21% to $2.1 billion, led by strong growth at Media Networks, Studio Entertainment and Parks and Resorts BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported earnings for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 29, 2008. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter increased to $0.58, compared to $0.44 in the prior-year quarter. Earnings per share from continuing operations in the prior-year quarter totaled $0.43. For the six-month period, diluted EPS was $1.21. EPS for the prior-year six- month period, which included gains on sales of our interests in E! Entertainment and Us Weekly, income from the discontinued operations of the ABC Radio business, and an equity-based compensation plan modification charge, which were all recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, were $1.24. Excluding these items, EPS for the six-month period increased 30% to $1.21 from $0.93 in the prior-year six months. “We had an outstanding quarter financially and creatively at The Walt Disney Company,” said Robert A. Iger, president and chief executive officer. “This performance demonstrates how The Disney Difference gives us a critical and sustainable market advantage. That difference centers on our proven ability to create high-quality content across our wide-ranging distribution and promotional platforms, allowing us to leverage our hits and grow our company.” 1
  • 2. The following table summarizes the second quarter and six-month results for fiscal 2008 and 2007 (in millions, except per share amounts): Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 29, March 31, March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Change 2008 2007 Change Revenues $ 8,710 $ 7,954 10 % $ 19,162 $ 17,535 9% Segment operating income (1) $ 2,140 $ 1,764 21 % $ 4,389 $ 3,714 18 % Income from continuing operations (2) $ 1,133 $ 919 23 % $ 2,383 $ 2,595 (8 ) % Diluted EPS from continuing 1.21 operations (2) $ 0.58 $ 0.43 35 % $ $ 1.22 (1 ) % Diluted EPS (2) $ 0.58 $ 0.44 32 % $ 1.21 $ 1.24 (2 ) % Cash provided by continuing operations $ 2,603 $ 2,206 18 % $ 3,265 $ 2,698 21 % Free cash flow (1) $ 2,256 $ 1,905 18 % $ 2,669 $ 2,152 24 % Aggregate segment operating income and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See the (1) discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below. Results for the six months ended March 31, 2007 included gains on the sales of equity investments in E! (2) Entertainment and Us Weekly, income from the discontinued ABC Radio business and a charge related to a modification of equity-based compensation plans in connection with the ABC Radio transaction. Diluted EPS for the six months ended March 31, 2007 excluding these items was $0.93. See the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below. SEGMENT RESULTS The following table summarizes the second quarter and six-month segment operating results for fiscal 2008 and 2007 (in millions): Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 29, March 31, March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Change 2008 2007 Change Revenues (1) (2): Media Networks $ 3,612 $ 3,456 5 % $ 7,781 $ 7,242 7 % Parks and Resorts 2,725 2,446 11 % 5,497 4,935 11 % Studio Entertainment 1,822 1,550 18 % 4,463 4,183 7 % Consumer Products 551 502 10 % 1,421 1,175 21 % $ 8,710 $ 7,954 10 % $ 19,162 $ 17,535 9 % Segment operating income (1) (2): Media Networks $ 1,317 $ 1,152 14 % $ 2,225 $ 1,860 20 % Parks and Resorts 339 254 33 % 844 659 28 % Studio Entertainment 377 234 61 % 891 837 6 % Consumer Products 107 124 (14 ) % 429 358 20 % $ 2,140 $ 1,764 21 % $ 4,389 $ 3,714 18 % Beginning with the first quarter fiscal 2008 financial statements, the Company began reporting (1) Hyperion Publishing in the Media Networks segment. Previously, Hyperion Publishing had been reported in the Consumer Products segment. Prior-period amounts (which are not material) have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Operating results of the ABC Radio business are reported as discontinued operations for the prior-year (2) quarter and six months and therefore have been excluded from the prior-year quarter and six-month segment results. 2
  • 3. Media Networks Media Networks revenues for the quarter increased 5% to $3.6 billion and segment operating income increased 14% to $1.3 billion. The following table provides further detail of the Media Networks results (in millions): Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 29, March 31, March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Change 2008 2007 Change Revenues: Cable Networks $ 2,110 $ 1,931 9% $ 4,522 $ 4,067 11 % Broadcasting 1,502 1,525 (2 ) % 3,259 3,175 3 % $ 3,612 $ 3,456 5% $ 7,781 $ 7,242 7 % Segment operating income: Cable Networks $ 1,094 $ 961 14 % $ 1,680 $ 1,422 18 % Broadcasting 223 191 17 % 545 438 24 % $ 1,317 $ 1,152 14 % $ 2,225 $ 1,860 20 % Cable Networks Operating income at Cable Networks increased 14% to $1.1 billion for the quarter primarily due to growth at ESPN and, to a lesser extent, higher income from our cable equity investments. The growth at ESPN was driven by higher affiliate revenue primarily due to contractual rate increases and subscriber growth, and advertising revenues driven by higher rates, partially offset by higher programming, administrative and marketing costs. Higher programming costs were driven by increased rights costs arising from college basketball contract renewals. Growth from our cable equity investments was primarily due to higher affiliate and advertising revenue at Lifetime and A&E. Broadcasting Operating income at Broadcasting increased 17% to $223 million for the quarter primarily due to the strong performance of ABC Studios productions in international markets, led by Grey’s Anatomy and Lost. This growth was partially offset by the impact of the Writer’s Guild of America strike which limited the airing of original scripted programming in primetime on the ABC Television Network resulting in lower ratings and advertising revenues. The negative impact of the strike on advertising revenue was partially offset by higher advertising rates and lower programming costs due to the reduction in hours of original scripted programming. Parks and Resorts Parks and Resorts revenues for the quarter increased 11% to $2.7 billion and segment operating income increased 33% to $339 million. Operating income growth was due to improved results in our domestic businesses and at Disneyland Resort Paris, both of which were favorably impacted by the shift of the Easter holiday from the third quarter in fiscal 2007 to the second quarter in fiscal 2008. 3
  • 4. Domestic Resorts Operating income growth at the domestic businesses was primarily due to increased guest spending and theme park attendance at the Walt Disney World Resort and higher revenues at Disney Vacation Club, partially offset by higher operating costs at the Walt Disney World Resort. Increased guest spending was due to higher average daily hotel room rates, higher average ticket prices and increased food and beverage spending. Higher attendance was primarily driven by the benefit of the shift of the Easter holiday. The increase in operating costs was driven by labor cost inflation, new guest offerings and volume-related expenses. The benefit from higher revenues at Disney Vacation Club reflected extensions of the term of ownership on certain existing vacation home properties and higher rentals of vacation club units. International Resorts Operating income growth at Disneyland Resort Paris was primarily due to increased attendance and higher guest spending, partially offset by higher operating costs. Increased guest spending was driven by higher average daily hotel room rates. Higher operating costs were driven by volume-related expenses and labor cost inflation. Studio Entertainment Studio Entertainment revenues for the quarter increased 18% to $1.8 billion and segment operating income increased 61% to $377 million. Segment operating income growth was primarily due to increases in domestic home entertainment and worldwide theatrical distribution. The growth in domestic home entertainment was driven by higher unit sales reflecting the performance of current quarter titles, which included Enchanted, Game Plan and No Country for Old Men as compared to Peter Pan Platinum Release, The Guardian and The Prestige in the prior-year quarter. The increase in worldwide theatrical distribution was driven by lower distribution expenses due to significant marketing costs in the prior-year quarter for Meet the Robinsons, which was released at the end of March 2007, and the domestic performance of current quarter titles led by the continued success of National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets and the release of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds. In international markets, the improvement was primarily due to the strong performance of Enchanted and National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. Consumer Products Consumer Products revenues for the quarter increased 10% to $551 million and segment operating income decreased 14% to $107 million. Lower segment operating income for the quarter was primarily due to lower recognition of minimum guarantee revenues at Merchandise Licensing and decreased revenue from licensed product at Disney Interactive Studios reflecting our continuing transition towards self-published titles. These decreases were partially offset by 4
  • 5. higher earned royalties at Merchandise Licensing and higher sales of self-published titles at Disney Interactive Studios. Higher earned royalties were driven by sales of Hannah Montana and High School Musical merchandise and increased sales at Disney Interactive Studios reflected the performance of Turok and High School Musical in the current quarter compared to Meet the Robinsons and Spectrobes in the prior-year quarter. OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION Corporate and Unallocated Shared Expenses Corporate and unallocated shared expenses decreased from $130 million to $98 million for the quarter driven by an increase in the allocation of costs to the business segments and the timing of expenses in various corporate departments. Net Interest Expense Net interest expense was as follows (in millions): Quarter Ended March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Interest expense $ (186 ) $ (167 ) Interest and investment income 39 37 Net interest expense $ (147 ) $ (130 ) The increase in interest expense for the quarter was primarily due to higher average debt balances. Minority Interests Minority interest expense increased from $3 million to $50 million for the quarter due to the impacts of decreased losses at Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland Resort Paris and increased profits at ESPN. The minority interest is determined on income after royalties, financing costs and income taxes. 5
  • 6. Cash Flow Cash provided by continuing operations and free cash flow were as follows (in millions): Six Months Ended March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Change Cash provided by continuing operations $ 3,265 $ 2,698 $ 567 Investments in parks, resorts and other property (596) (546) (50) Free cash flow (1) $ 2,669 $ 2,152 $ 517 Free cash flow is not a financial measure defined by GAAP. See the discussion of non-GAAP (1) financial measures that follows below. Cash provided by operations increased by $567 million to $3.3 billion primarily due to higher segment operating income and the timing of payments for accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by the timing of accounts receivable collections and higher investments in Disney Vacation Club properties. Capital Expenditures and Depreciation Expense Investments in parks, resorts and other property by segment were as follows (in millions): Six Months Ended March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Media Networks $ 98 $ 73 Parks and Resorts: Domestic 305 269 International 73 127 Total Parks and Resorts 378 396 Studio Entertainment 60 34 Consumer Products 19 11 Corporate 41 32 Total investments in parks, resorts and other property $ 596 $ 546 6
  • 7. Depreciation expense by segment was as follows (in millions): Six Months Ended March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Media Networks Cable Networks $ 44 $ 44 Broadcasting 50 44 Total Media Networks 94 88 Parks and Resorts Domestic 400 396 International 167 147 Total Parks and Resorts 567 543 Studio Entertainment 18 16 Consumer Products 10 9 Corporate 60 66 Total depreciation expense $ 749 $ 722 Share Repurchases During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Company repurchased 61 million shares for $2.0 billion, of which 30 million shares were purchased for $0.9 billion in the second quarter. As of March 29, 2008, the Company had authorization in place to repurchase approximately 262 million additional shares, of which the Company has repurchased 13 million shares for $418 million subsequent to quarter- end through May 5, 2008. Borrowings Total borrowings and net borrowings are detailed below (in millions): March 29, Sept. 29, 2008 2007 Change Current portion of borrowings $ 2,861 $ 3,280 $ (419 ) Long-term borrowings 12,929 11,892 1,037 Total borrowings 15,790 15,172 618 Less: cash and cash equivalents (3,860) (3,670 ) (190 ) Net borrowings (1) $ 11,930 $ 11,502 $ 428 Net borrowings is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the discussion of non-GAAP financial (1) measures that follows. The total borrowings shown above include $3,930 million and $3,583 million attributable to Euro Disney and Hong Kong Disneyland as of March 29, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents attributable to Euro Disney and Hong Kong Disneyland totaled $594 million and $604 million as of March 29, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively. 7
  • 8. In April 2008, the Company completed the redemption of its $1.3 billion of 2.125% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the Notes). Substantially all of the Notes were converted into common stock based on the conversion ratio of 33.9443 for each $1,000 of principal, resulting in the issuance of 45 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This earnings release presents earnings per share excluding certain items, net borrowings, free cash flow, and aggregate segment operating income, all of which are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures defined by GAAP. These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of earnings per share, borrowings, cash flow or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Earnings per share excluding certain items, net borrowings, free cash flow, and aggregate segment operating income as we have calculated them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Earnings per share excluding certain items – The Company uses earnings per share excluding certain items to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, including significant dispositions and acquisitions. In the prior-year six months, these items included gains on sales of equity investments in E! Entertainment and Us Weekly, income from the discontinued ABC Radio business and a charge related to a modification of equity-based compensation plans in connection with the ABC Radio transaction. The Company believes that information about earnings per share exclusive of these impacts is useful to investors, particularly where the impact of the excluded items is significant in relation to reported earnings, because the measure allows for comparability between periods of the operating performance of the Company’s business and allows investors to evaluate separately the impact of decisions regarding the sale and acquisition of interests in businesses from the impact of the operations of the business. The following table reconciles reported earnings per share to earnings per share excluding certain items: 8
  • 9. Six Months Ended March 29, March 31, 2008 2007 Change Diluted EPS $ 1.21 $ 1.24 (2 )% Exclude: Discontinued operations -- (0.02 ) nm Gains on sales of equity investments ― (0.31 ) nm Equity-based compensation plan modification charge -- 0.01 nm Diluted EPS excluding certain items (1) $ 1.21 $ 0.93 30 % Diluted EPS excluding certain items may not equal the sum of the column due to rounding. (1) Net borrowings – The Company believes that information about net borrowings provides investors with a useful perspective on our financial condition. Net borrowings reflect the subtraction of cash and cash equivalents from total borrowings. Since we earn interest income on our cash balances that offsets a portion of the interest expense we pay on our borrowings, net borrowings can be used as a measure to gauge net interest expense. In addition, a portion of our cash and cash equivalents is available to repay outstanding indebtedness when the indebtedness matures or when other circumstances arise. However, we may not immediately apply cash and cash equivalents to the reduction of debt, nor do we expect that we would use all of our available cash and cash equivalents to repay debt in the ordinary course of business. Free cash flow – The Company uses free cash flow (cash provided by continuing operations less investments in parks, resorts and other property), among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than capital expenditures. Management believes that information about free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments and pay dividends or repurchase shares. Aggregate segment operating income – The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment operating income, and management uses aggregate segment operating income as a measure of the performance of operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. The Company believes that information about aggregate segment operating income assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing separate insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. 9
