Highlighted: GOOG, YHOO, PLCM, FFIV, NWSA, DIS, CVC, SBSA, GCI**PLEASE REFER TO FULL COMPANY NOTE(S) on http://www.lehmanlive.com **Lehman Telecom & Media Research from North AmericaGoogle Inc. (GOOG, $298.86, 1-Overweight, Sector Neutral) Raising Numbers, Raising Target – Douglas AnmuthWe are raising our estimates for Google for 2Q05, and 2006 and beyond. We expect GOOG to post strong 2Q05 numbers onthe heels of continued secular growth in search, intl expansion, and further gains in monetization. Our estimates for netrevenue move from $844M (+6.2% Q/Q) to $861M (+8.3% Q/Q), for EBITDA from $541M (-1.2% Q/Q, 64.1% margin) to$566M (+3.3% Q/Q, 65.7% margin), and for PF EPS from $1.22 to $1.28. While we expect 2Q05 to be a strong quarter, ourhigher price target and incrementally more positive outlook on the company are based on GOOGs fundamental earningspower over the L-T. We are raising our EBITDA margins for 2Q05 and the outer years as we believe GOOG simply cannotspend money fast enough given the extremely high incremental margins associated with the core search business, and thecompanys technological focus and lean approach to new projects provide distinct advantages in terms of costs and efficiency.Equity Derivatives Strategy: GOOG Buy-Write – Ryan RenickerWe are seeing signs that option market participants are pricing in a relatively high degree of uncertainty for Google (GOOG)shares heading into Q2 earnings (July 21), as measured by Google implied volatility levels. Specifically, Google 2-monthimplied volatilities are currently trading relatively high 1) on an absolute basis 2) versus realized and 3) versus the Nasdaq 100.From a fundamental perspective, GOOG is likely to post strong 2Q numbers on the heels of continued secular growth insearch, international expansion and further gains in monetization, according to Lehman Internet & Media analyst DouglasAnmuth. We believe investors should consider implementing a August 320 “buy-write” strategy on GOOG shares heading intoGOOG’s July 21 earnings release. This short-term strategy allows investors to maintain a bullish stance on GOOG shares intoearnings, while partially protecting against a downside move in the stock. The buy-write makes money as long as GOOGtrades above $289.46 as of the August 20th expiration date and outperforms a long-only position in GOOG shares if GOOGtrades at or below $329.40 at expiration. If GOOG trades at $329.40 on expiry, both the buy-write strategy and the long-onlyposition would result in call-away or holding-period return of about 10.25%.Yahoo! Inc (YHOO, $36.73, 1-Overweight, Sector Neutral) Branded & Intl the Likely 2Q Highlights – Douglas AnmuthWe believe YHOOs branded advertising and international businesses could provide modest upside potential to our current 2Qestimates, which call for revs of $889M (+46% Y/Y), EBITDA of $358M (+53% Y/Y), and EPS of $0.13. Based on our tracking,we believe YHOOs branded business experienced increased spending from the automotive, wireless, and consumer verticals,Lehman Brothers does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports.

EQUITY RESEARCHwhile also benefiting from increased inventory sell-through as YHOO devoted less of its prime real estate to its own productsand services. In terms of international, we believe further roll out of its algorithmic tech, sponsored search, and contextual-based advertising continues to fuel strong rev growth and Y/Y margin expansion. While modest upside potential to our 2Qestimates and a slight increase to full year guidance are not likely to have a material near-term impact on the stock, wecontinue to believe in the L-T potential of YHOO shares. We reiterate our 1-Overweight rating.Polycom Inc (PLCM, $16.40, 1-Overweight, Sector Neutral) Expect Solid Jun-Q; Main 1OW – Jiong ShaoWe expect PLCM to deliver a solid Jun-Q w/ rev ahead of our mdpt of guid est of $138.9M(+1%QoQ) v mgmt guid flat to +2%& EPS est of $0.18, driven by improved US ent & govt/public, w/ momo in vid & VoIP handset biz & increased traction in intlbiz.

In addition,we look for another strong year of growth in F2006 with operating income rising 18%. News Corp remains our top pick amongthe major media companies as it has the best long-term growth prospects and the most attractive valuation. Our rev, OI, andEPS ests for F4Q05 are $5.84B (+6.7%), $909M (+34.9%), and $0.18 (+23.7%), respectively. Sky Italia, Newspapers, andCable Networks are the key drivers in the quarter. Filmed Entertainment is faced with tough Y-Y comps and could see doubledigit OI declines in the quarter. Television remains soft with flattish OI growth likely. We estimate share repurchases of roughly$1.5B in F2006 (employing ~60% of FCF), following the $530M spent in F4Q05. NWS/A trades at 8.4x EV/EBITDA and 13.9xP/FCF based on C2005E. We believe the spread between the NWS and NWS/A shares may widen in the coming months.Walt Disney Co (DIS, $25.71, 2-Equal weight, Sector Neutral) F3Q05 Outlook: Waiting On Catalysts – Vijay JayantWe are modestly lowering our F3Q05 operating income estimates by $27M to $1.4B due to lower expectations at StudioEntertainment and Consumer Products. However, our EPS remains at $0.39 and the growth outlook for the quarter and C2005still remain ahead of all other major media companies except for News Corp. Valuation is becoming more attractive, but thebiggest question that remains is the sustainability and strength of Disneys recovery following F2005, especially in light of aslowing economy. Reducing operating income to $1.40B (+27.5%) from prior $1.43B est. EPS remains at $0.39 (in line withconsensus). All segments are positioned for double digit operating income growth except for Theme Parks, which will beimpacted by Hong Kong pre-opening expenses. Advertising concerns, slowing DVD sales, and a cooling US economy in 2006are weighing on the shares. However, several potential catalysts are looming on the horizon. DIS trades at 9.7x EV/EBITDAand 15.8x P/FCF based on C2005E.Cablevision Systems (CVC, $31.95, 2-Equal weight, Sector Neutral) AMC Litigation Minor Negative – Vijay JayantTWXs recent court victory in its litigation with CVC over the format change at AMC is a minor negative for CVC. We do notbelieve AMCs carriage at Time Warner Cable is at risk, but rather that TWX will use this victory as leverage when negotiatingAMC affiliate fees. Most likely outcome (reduction in affiliate fee) reduces CVC value/share by less than $0.33; worst case,lose/lose scenario (AMC is dropped by TWC) reduces CVC value by $1.96/share. A New York court has ruled that AMCs shiftfrom a classic movie format to carriage of more recent movies breached its contract with Time Warner Cable. CVC plans toappeal the ruling. Current contract expires in 08. We continue to expect a modest bump in the Dolans cash offer for the CVCtelecom assets and that the Rainbow stub will trade at a discount to management estimated NAV of $12.50. TWX mgmt hasmade it clear it does not plan to bid for the CVC telecom assets at this time.Spanish Broadcasting Sys (SBSA, $9.87, 1-Overweight, Sector Neutral) Expansion Into Television – William MeyersWe were surprised by the timing and strategic direction of SBSAs announced purchase of an independent television station inthe Miami DMA for $37.5 million. We are maintaining our estimates pending further analysis of the likely earnings/FCF dilution 2

3.
EQUITY RESEARCHassociated with the initiative. Given previous delays in closing its long-awaited Los Angeles radio station sale to Styles Media,coupled with managements focus on debt repayment, we would have expected SBSA to complete the $120M sale prior toannouncing any acquisitions. We were surprised by SBSAs TV initiative given: 1) its lack of senior management experience inthe business and 2) the highly competitive dynamics of the local TV station business. Management is currently reluctant toreview plans for programming strategies, investments and station projections, but will likely address these issues during its2Q05 earnings call. The acquisition is expected to close in mid-4Q05.Gannett (GCI, $72.95, 2-Equal weight, Sector Negative) Lowering Street-low Ests Further – Craig HuberGannetts 2Q EPS was $1.37 vs. our estimate of $1.38 and $1.30 in prior year.
