Cable Networks
Cable Networks revenues for the quarter increased 3% to $4.1 billion and
operating income decreased 3% to $1.8 billion. The decrease in operating
income was due to a decrease at ESPN, partially offset by increases at
the Disney Channels and Freeform.
The decrease at ESPN was due to higher programming costs, partially
offset by affiliate and advertising revenue growth. The programming cost
increase was due to the shift in timing of College Football Playoff
(CFP) bowl games relative to our fiscal quarter end and contractual rate
increases for NBA programming. One CFP game was aired in the second
quarter of the prior year, whereas four CFP games were aired in the
current quarter. Affiliate revenue growth was due to contractual rate
increases, partially offset by a decline in subscribers. Higher
advertising revenue was due to higher rates, which included the benefit
of the CFP timing shift, partially offset by lower impressions.
Higher results at the Disney Channels and Freeform were driven by lower
programming costs and higher affiliate fees, partially offset by lower
Freeform advertising revenue due to a decrease in impressions. Lower
programming costs at the Disney Channels and Freeform was due to the
timing of airing new seasons and a lower cost mix of Freeform
programming. Affiliate revenue growth was due to contractual rate
increases, partially offset by a decline in subscribers.
Broadcasting
Broadcasting revenues for the quarter increased 3% to $1.9 billion and
operating income increased 14% to $344 million. The increase in
operating income was due to higher program sales income, affiliate
revenue growth and a decrease in primetime marketing costs. These
operating income increases were partially offset by lower advertising
revenue and higher programming costs. Higher operating income from
program sales was driven by the sale of Iron Fist and higher
sales of How to Get Away with Murder in the current quarter
compared to the sale of Daredevil in the prior-year quarter.
Additionally, results benefited from a lower cost mix of programs sold
in the current quarter. These increases were partially offset by an
unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Affiliate revenue
growth was due to contractual rate increases. The decrease in
advertising revenues included lower network impressions and lower
political advertising at our owned television stations, partially offset
by higher network rates. Higher programming costs were due to a higher
cost mix of programming and contractual rate increases for acquired
content.
Equity in the Income of Investees
Equity in the income of investees decreased 42% to $88 million due to a
higher loss from Hulu, lower income at A+E Television Networks (A+E) and
a loss at BAMTech, which was acquired in August 2016. The decrease at
Hulu was due to higher content, marketing and labor costs, partially
offset by higher advertising and subscription revenue. The decrease at
A+E was due to lower advertising revenue.
Parks and Resorts
Parks and Resorts revenues for the quarter increased 9% to $4.3 billion
and segment operating income increased 20% to $750 million. Operating
income growth for the quarter was due to the opening of Shanghai Disney
Resort in the third quarter of the prior year and an increase at our
domestic parks and resorts. Segment results were adversely impacted by
the timing of the Easter holiday, which occurred in the second quarter
of the prior year compared to the third quarter of the current year.
This impact was partially offset by the shift of the New Year's holiday
relative to our fiscal periods. The New Year's holiday fell in the
second quarter of the current year whereas it fell in the first quarter
of the prior year.
Operating income growth at our domestic parks and resorts was due to
higher volumes, driven by increased attendance and guest spending on
food and beverage, as well as higher operating participant income from
Disney Springs. These increases were partially offset by higher costs.
Higher costs were due to labor and other cost inflation, increased
marketing spend and higher expenses for new guest offerings, partially
offset by efficiency initiatives.
Studio Entertainment
Studio Entertainment revenues for the quarter decreased 1% to $2.0
billion and segment operating income increased 21% to $656 million.
Higher operating income was driven by growth in TV/SVOD distribution,
lower film cost impairments and an increase in home entertainment
results. These increases were partially offset by a lower revenue share
from the Consumer Products & Interactive Media segment.
Higher TV/SVOD distribution results were driven by international growth
and higher domestic rates, partially offset by the timing of domestic
title availabilities.
The increase in home entertainment results was due to higher average net
effective pricing reflecting a higher sales mix of new release and
Blu-ray titles. New releases in the quarter included Moana and Doctor
Strange compared to The Good Dinosaur in the prior-year
quarter. This increase was partially offset by lower unit sales of Star
Wars Classic titles.
Theatrical distribution results were comparable to the prior-year
quarter. The current quarter benefited from lower pre-release marketing
costs and the strong performance of Beauty and the Beast. However,
these benefits were offset by the performance of Star Wars: The Force
Awakens and Zootopia in the prior-year quarter compared to Rogue
One: A Star Wars Story and Moana in the current quarter. Zootopia
was released in the second quarter of the prior year, whereas Moana was
released in the first quarter of the current year.
The decrease in revenue share with the Consumer Products & Interactive
Media segment was due to stronger performance of merchandise based on
Star Wars and Frozen in the prior-year quarter.
Consumer Products & Interactive Media
Consumer Products & Interactive Media revenues for the quarter decreased
11% to $1.1 billion and segment operating income increased 3% to $367
million. Higher operating income was due to an improvement at our games
business driven by a favorable impact from the discontinuation of our
Infinity console game business in the prior-year quarter. This benefit
was largely offset by lower licensing results and a decline at our
retail business.
The decrease in licensing results was due to lower revenue from products
based on Star Wars and Frozen and an unfavorable impact from
foreign currency translation. These decreases were partially
offset by a decrease in revenue share with the Studio Entertainment
segment in the current quarter and a benefit from licensee settlements.
Lower operating income at our retail business was due to lower
comparable store sales, reflecting higher sales of Frozen and
Star Wars merchandise in the prior-year quarter. This decrease was
partially offset by sales of Moana merchandise in the current
quarter.

The increase in interest expense for the quarter was due to lower
capitalized interest and higher average interest rates. Capitalized
interest was lower due to the completion of the majority of construction
at Shanghai Disney Resort in the prior-year third quarter.
The increase in interest and investment income for the quarter was
primarily due to gains on sales of investments in the current quarter.

The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the quarter was
primarily due to the favorable impact from the adoption of a new
accounting pronouncement ($53 million). In the first quarter of the
current year, the Company adopted new accounting guidance, which
requires that excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies on employee
share-based awards be included in "Income taxes" in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income. These amounts were previously recorded
in "Common stock" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. An excess
tax benefit arises when the value of an employee share-based award on
the exercise or vesting date is higher than the fair value on the grant
date. A tax deficiency arises when the value on the exercise or vesting
date is lower than the grant date fair value.

The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for
the quarter was driven by an improvement at Shanghai Disney Resort and
the impact of the Company's increased ownership interest in Disneyland
Paris, partially offset by the impact of lower net income at ESPN.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is determined on
income after royalties and management fees, financing costs and income
taxes.

Free cash flow is not a financial measure defined by GAAP. See the

|
|
|
Cash provided by operations for the first six months of fiscal 2017
decreased by $1.3 billion from $6.0 billion in the prior-year quarter to
$4.7 billion in the current quarter. The decrease was due to higher
pension plan contributions and film and television production spending
in fiscal 2017.

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

Items affecting comparability during the quarter ended April 2, 2016
included a $147 million charge in connection with the
discontinuation of our Infinity console game business (Infinity
Charge). For the six-month period ended April 2, 2016, items
affecting comparability included the Company's share of a net gain
recognized by A+E Television Networks in connection with their
acquisition of an interest in Vice Group Holding, Inc. (Vice Gain),
the Infinity Charge and restructuring and impairment charges due to
an investment impairment ($54 million pre-tax) and contract
termination and severance costs ($27 million pre-tax).

Free cash flow - The Company uses free cash
flow (cash provided by operations less investments in parks, resorts and
other property), among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its
operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than
capital expenditures. Management believes that information about free
cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash
available to service debt obligations, 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.
A reconciliation of segment operating income to net income is as follows
(in millions):
