11. 5 Key Trends
• Successful streaming model by NFLX resulted in other technology companies (APPL, GOOG,
Growing AMZN) entering the market (primarily through a la carte models)
Competition • However, cost advantage remains with incumbent streaming operators such as NFLX, given
their focus on older content
Studios Evaluating • Decline in theater attendance (~90% since mid-1970s) and DVD sales (~50-70% of studio
revenue) has forced studios to reevaluate existing release window schedules
Changing Release
• PPV/VOD/OTT window will offer the biggest opportunity for studios to maximize their
Windows profits
• As VHS was superseded by DVD, it is expected that DVD will ultimately be superseded by
Content Moving digital/streaming models
Digital • However, the tail of DVD is TBD
• Could prove to be a powerful new subscriber acquisition tool (especially in international
Integration with markets)
Social Networking • Will facilitate improvements in recommendation engine by employing users’ social data
• ISPs – especially those with significant cable distribution businesses, such as Time Warner
Internet Service and Comcast – could spoil the party, as they control the pipes which businesses such as
Providers? NFLX rely upon
• The ability to implement data usage caps will be ultimately decided in the courts

17. Netflix [NASDAQ: NFLX]
NFLX, the market leader in content distribution, saw shares fall ~50% LTM due to a price
increase and intense competition.
KEY SEGMENTS
• Online Streaming: Provides access to TV shows and movies streamed over the Internet to TVs, computers and
networked devices. Subscribers = ~21.5 million. Priced at $7.99/month. Contribution margin = ~8%
• DVD-by-mail: DVDs are sent by US first-class mail and returned using pre-paid mailers. NFLX’s library currently
contains over 125K DVD titles. Subscribers = ~13.9 million. Priced at $7.99/month (hybrid plan priced at
$15.98/month). Contribution margin = ~50%
CONSENSUS CONCERNS
• Increasing Content Spend: NFLX announced a marked increase in 2012 content spend (~100% y-o-y)
• Our view: We share the concern, and believe NFLX will continue to face rising digital content costs given its
focus on streaming. Note that high quality movie content (Sony/Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal, Fox
Searchlight etc.) is locked up next few years under current pay TV window and the contract with Starz is
ending in Q1 ‘12. We believe that certain studios will continue to limit NFLX’s access to given its value
proposition to studios. This coupled with international expansion will impact 2012 profitability
• Continued Sub Loss: NFLX lost ~800K subs in Q3 ‘11 due to the increased pricing / Qwikster debacle
• Our view: We don’t share this concern – the pricing change was appropriate, but not the way it was
communicated. Pricing related sub losses have subsided and NFLX will return to sub growth
- 17 -

18. Netflix [CONTINUED]
Price Target = $112.77 (19.1% appreciation). Accumulate under $80.69.
WHAT WE LIKE
• Market Leader: NFLX leads the market with a subscriber base of ~24 million in the US. Given its penetration at
~30% of broadband subscribers and revenue at ~13% of the home video market, Netflix has room for growth.
Additionally, NFLX holds a scale advantage not easily replicable without significant investment
• Monetization Channel for Catalog Content: Much of the content consumed on NFLX is 1-2 year old catalog
content. NFLX’s ability to generate demand for catalog content through its rating system and recommendation
engine gives NFLX leverage with studios who are all seeking to monetize older content
WEBTECH RESEARCH RECOMMENDATION = BUY under $80.69, aggressively under $77.78
• Price Target: We arrive at a price target of $112.77 based on valuing the earnings potential of the streaming
business (we disregard the more profitable, but contracting DVD business in our valuation). We assume NFLX exits
2013 with a streaming ARPU of $8/month, streaming contribution margin of 14.5% (up from 8%) and 34.5mm
total subs (up from 25mm). We then tax affect (35% tax rate) the 2013E contribution dollars to arrive at 2013E net
income, and apply a 20x P/E multiple (consistent with our view of near-term sub CAGR of 20%)
• Price Support: Capital infusions by T.Rowe at $70.00 (equity) and by TCV at $85.80 (zero coupon
convertible) will provide support for shares in the event of a pull back
• Short: The risk reward ratio for a short trade becomes favorable (at >4.5x) above $107.72. We would
consider a fundamental short position if the long-thesis is “over-confirmed” (if shares rise above $124.05)
• Stock will move after… a) Q4 earnings (Jan 25th); b) acquisition rumors; c) positive data from and/or further
international expansion; d) DVD window extension by other studios
- 18 -

19. Coinstar [NASDAQ: CSTR]
CSTR, the cheapest DVD rental provider, has plummeted on concerns of the long term
viability of DVDs. We believe these concerns are premature.
KEY SEGMENTS
• DVD Rental (Redbox): Operates 34,400 self-service DVD rental kiosks. Rentals priced at $1.20/night. Contributes
~84% of revenues. Operating Margin = ~18.7%. Market Share = ~34.7% in US DVD rentals
• Coin Services: Owns and operates fully automated network of 18,900 self-service coin-counting machines across
the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Ireland and the UK. Charges 9.8 % processing fee. Contributes ~16% of revenues.
Operating Margin = ~36.2%
CONSENSUS CONCERNS
• Impact of Price Hike: In October 2011, Redbox increased daily rental rates from $1.00/night to $1.20/night, citing
increased operational costs due to the Durbin agreement
• Our view: We do not share this concern as pricing remains competitive relative to other rental options
(PPV or VOD). Management guided to incremental $10-$14mm (~3% of Redbox revenues) of expenses on
account of the Durbin agreement. The 20% price increase will provide sufficient cushion for additional
costs and any loss in rental volumes. We expect our lack of concern to be confirmed when Q4 numbers are
released
• Lengthening DVD Windows: Recently Warner Bros. doubled DVD window from 28 days to 56 days. While NFLX
has agreed to this, both Blockbuster and Redbox are opposing the move
• Our view: We share this concern. Without prior agreements, Redbox may have to purchase the DVDs from
retail outlets on the street date (first-sale doctrine), which will pressure margins
- 19 -

20. Coinstar [CONTINUED]
Price Target = $59.31 (32.0% appreciation). Accumulate under $44.08.
WHAT WE LIKE
• Platform to Launch Streaming Business: Redbox customers rent DVDs from over 30K points of presence (kiosks).
Management is taking a captious approach to leveraging its customer base to launch a new streaming business
• Low Cost and Geographical Footprint: Capital requirements tend to be low (~$15,000- $20,000 to install a kiosk).
Marketing costs are minimal and moreover, ~68% of households are within 5-minute drive-time of a Redbox kiosk
• Market Share Gains: VOD prices tend to be $4.99+ for new releases. Until these price points come down, Redbox
remains the low price leader for a la carte rentals at $1.20/night. Redbox reported ~20% growth in unique credit
cards and ~60% growth in unique email addresses at kiosks in Q3 2011
WEBTECH RESEARCH RECOMMENDATION = BUY under $44.00, aggressively under $42.70
• Price Target: We arrive at a price target of $59.31 (32.0% upside). Given the distinct margin and growth profiles of
CSTR’s two business lines, we assign a 3x EBITDA multiple to the coin business (high margin, but limited growth)
and a 6x multiple to the DVD business (prospect of leveraging existing customers if a streaming business is
launched). Our EBITDA estimates are based on annualizing the last 9 months for each business segment
• Price Support: We recommend closely watching $39.00-$40.00 – a key technical level
• Short: The risk reward ratio for a short trade becomes favorable (at >4.5x) above $55.61. We would
consider a fundamental short position if the long-thesis is “over-confirmed” (if shares rise above $65.24)
• Stock will move after… a) Q4 earnings (Feb 6th); b) announcement of a streaming plan (may include partnership
with Verizon); c) DVD window extension by other studios
