3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3

4 SPE continues to deliver strong company performance; however, currency fluctuations and the carry-forward impact of under-performing films prevent SPE from maintaining the projections in its prior MRP Television offers multiple opportunities for growth – The networks business will strategically manage its current assets and identify select investment opportunities to capitalize on market growth – The production and distribution business is increasing the number of returning domestic series and building its international team to develop a new hit format The film industry is navigating a new economic model – Consumer tastes are shifting; action and family genres remain strong, but PG domestic comedies are giving way to R-rated comedies – Production and talent costs remain high across the industry – Domestic cinema admissions are declining but are offset by higher ticket prices – Admissions and ticket prices are growing in emerging markets, but such territories offer relatively meager ancillary revenues – There is a continuing shift to lower margin home entertainment models, however, the decline in sell-through appears to be leveling off – New models for digital distribution continue to gain traction and have superior margins to their physical counterparts Executive Summary 4

5 Executive Summary (continued) SPE is also faced with internal challenges – Carry-over impact in the MRP period of underperforming films from FYE12 and FYE13 – Reduced contribution of international TV production to the MRP due to management relaunch and fewer show commissions than previously anticipated However, with its well-balanced portfolio of television and film businesses, SPE expects to achieve $725M of EBIT and $456M of Net Cash Flow (1) by FYE16 (1) Net Cash Flow excludes strategic investment spend for the MSM India and GSN Buy-Up 5
