7 International Production – Market Environment New Formats & Programs Key Global Competitors Market Opportunities Limited flow of new IP from top light entertainment format origination markets – UK and Netherlands –UK market continues to be fiercely competitive –Dutch market heavily dominated by Talpa (John de Mol) Latin America maintains strong scripted focus with increasing popularity of local productions Asia market opportunities limited in short term but emerging territories have high strategic value in long term (e.g., China) Endemol in a state of turmoil Fremantle continues to be a strong production network Shine and Shed Media sold to large media companies News Corp and Warner Bros Continued rapid consolidation activities by major super-indies All3media, Zodiak and Banijay, driving significant competition for acquisitions of remaining independent players Challenging economic conditions in key markets creating demand for competitors to take greater financial risks (e.g., pilot funding, series deficit funding) SPT well-positioned to grow scripted format remakes activity, but market opportunity may be limited Limited flow of new IP from key origination markets; rapid industry consolidation continues 7

8 International Production – Strategic Priorities Develop and produce hit format Build scale via strategic investments Launch competitive incentive program Develop new break-out hits by focusing creative, operational and financial efforts on a few high potential formats (e.g., Exit List, Angry Birds, Famous) Identify and attach new creative talent to group (in any form or shape), be competitive in remuneration, and initiate start-ups Initiate, coordinate and intensify light entertainment collaboration between US and International Production businesses to drive more synergies and production flow on both sides UK is top priority – imperative to develop significant local production presence Strengthen presence in major European markets and expand to emerging territories Drive interactive extensions and revenue opportunities and innovative multiplatform businesses Pursue strategic partnerships to expand market share in key markets (especially the U.K.) and opportunistically enter new markets in Eastern Europe and Asia Important for hit format creation, multi-territory format exploitation and talent retention SPT’s major competitors all benefit from similar programs – e.g., Banijay, Zodiak Drive development of blockbusters and continue to expand global network 8

12 International Production – Detailed Revenue 12

13 Broadcast networks have reinvested in primetime dramas. ABC and NBC the most aggressive with development to redefine their brands (ordering 14 new dramas, or 58% of all new dramas). Increase in the variety of sub-genres - period (60’s), escapist, paranormal, action-adventure and musical (+8 new across these sub-genres). Crime procedurals still king (13), however traditional crime procedurals giving way to character driven procedurals (with CBS industry leader in both). Cable and SVOD networks aggressive on original series development and purchasing established franchises to gain subscribers. Netflix becoming a series buyer – House of Cards deal. Increase in volume of comedies (36 vs. 29). Multi-cams rebound (47% of all new comedies), but single-cams still majority (58% of all live action comedies). ABC building off Modern Family success with push into Weds night. NBC redefining brand around it’s Thurs night block. CBS still favors multi cam Focus on the 8PM hour (+8 new comedies). Female leads & voices (over half of new comedies). FBC has broadened to female leads the most. Talent floor competition shows continue to be huge on network, but little traction in other sub-genres. Formats still matter (X Factor, The Voice, etc). Docu-reality ultra successful on cable (Bravo, E!, A&E, History). Broadcast stations trending towards producing their own content to save costs and control ad inventory. NBC stations in New York and Los Angeles testing locally produced Daily Connection and LX TV in their daytime lineups SPT is combating this trend by partnering with local stations and station groups to help them produce programs and partner in the distribution efforts.

24 1. Production 2. Distribution & Ad Sales 3. Networks 3 Areas of Discussion 24

25 New competition among premium subscription services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon) is increasing demand for new/library film and television product Cable networks continue to emphasize original programming and top-level film/TV series acquisitions –Premium new release movies continue to be the gold standard and the demand for exclusive rights is growing to protect against competition –Buyers are mostly interested in series from the 1990s and forward In syndication, stations continue to pay aggressively for top-quality talk shows and comedies –In the near future, there will be opportunities to introduce new shows and for Dr. Oz ratings to grow as aging daytime hosts leave their franchises –Digital network space continues to develop and offers increased licensing opportunity (e.g. Antenna TV, Bounce, Me.TV) Retransmission agreements create a new revenue stream for broadcaster-owned stations (e.g., ABC, CBS) to receive cash payment from cable operators (e.g., Comcast, Time Warner) for the right to air the station's signals –This incremental revenue puts our network and station clients in a stronger economic position to license product U.S. Distribution – Market Environment 25

26 U.S. Distribution – Strategic Priorities Pay TV Subscription Cable TV Syndication Although uncertain, an opportunity may exist to modify the Starz pay TV deal –Internet caps in the existing Starz deal have created the renegotiation opportunity –Negotiating directly with Netflix on consideration –If the Starz deal is not renegotiated, an opportunity exists to make deals directly with Netflix that are not related to the content included in the Starz pay TV deal Sell library film and TV series into non-exclusive subscription deals Complete WWAG deal with Netflix Split library windows, license multiple rights, structure non-exclusive deals Aggressively sell slate carve-out windows utilizing more aggressive inventory tracking and planning Sell offnet cable series: Drop Dead Diva (linear avail FY14), Justified (avail FY14), Damages (linear avail FY15) Develop consistent flow of first-run product with top talent Sell all offnet syndication series: Rules of Engagement (avail FY13), Community (avail FY14), Happy Endings (avail FY15) Sell library film and TV series onto broadcast digital platforms Acquire 3 rd party distribution rights with minimal financial risk (e.g. Right This Minute) 26

30 International Distribution – Market Environment Traditional TV customers are still struggling to rebound from the global financial crisis Public broadcasters remain under severe pressure Private broadcasters’ ad revenues slow to recover Traditional business of selling movies to Free TV and Pay TV broadcasters is changing Free TV broadcasters are moving away from buying features to selective one hour drama series, and as a result, we’re having to look at other solutions in those markets o For example, we’ve sold or are contemplating sale of our Free TV window to non-traditional players in 3 of our top 7 markets (Italy – SkyItalia, UK – Netflix, Canada – Netflix) o Leveraging TV drama slate with traditional buyers (TFI-France) Arrival of new SVOD services creates competition with established Free and Pay TV players Creates opportunity to increase product value in markets where traditional media is declining such as the UK and Canada Prompts a number of issues around usage and deployment that we need to manage Multiplying our options to lessen our dependence on the traditional marketplace 30

31 Sustained delivery of network dramas will enable revenues for TV product to double to >$500MM by FYE15 and amplify feature film revenue –Continue to work closely with SPT U.S. Production to secure and sustain strategically important network dramas –Broaden scope of broadcaster relationships to explore English language, European content, co- production opportunities –Look for key series acquisition opportunities International Distribution – Strategic Priorities Exploit market trends and broadcaster relationships to maximize content value Leverage Slate of Network Dramas Capitalize Upon New Market Entrants Build Secure Pipeline of Future Revenue Take full advantage of opportunities with emerging SVOD players Work with a wide range of partners to develop deal structure options to help them maximize value of their offerings and compete with traditional businesses Focus on select emerging markets to expand SPT’s presence and better capitalize on opportunities (Netherlands, Scandinavia, Poland, Hungary, South Africa) Deepen relationship with clients to ensure success through partnering on launches, promotions Develop Stronger Relationships in Key Markets Close long-term deals in key markets over the plan Ensure we keep rights to key revenue-driving feature film franchises 31

32 International Distribution – Network Dramas New network series drove record prices for one hour broadcast dramas, achieving 20% improvement on previous highest ultimate value Charlie’s Angels $2MM per episode Pan Am $2.1MM per episode Unforgettable $2.2MM per episode Network dramas help to sustain value and drive improvements across the SPE portfolio Looking to partner with key broadcasters in major markets to ensure shows become hits in those markets Network dramas drive significant value in the international market 32

35 International Distribution – Financial Summary by Division Revenues from U.S. TV product doubles to >$500MM over the plan 35

36 U.S. Ad Sales – Market Environment Strong Upfront – Strong scatter pricing and positive economic forecast leading into 2011 upfront – London Summer Olympics and US Presidential Election in 2012 helped create strong demand Broadcast Network Prime, up +8%, $9B total – FOX led market, up +10% with strong demand for A18-49 demos; American Idol and X Factor – ABC, CBS, NBC up +6-7%; CW small share of dollars but +10% increase driven by A18-34 demo Cable, overall up +12% $9B+ total – Closer parity with broadcast driven by break-out hits (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc.) – CPM’s continue to get closer to Network, some reports that total dollars exceeded Network Syndication, overall up +10%, $2.4B total – Oprah Winfrey’s departure from daytime helped drive double-digit gains for first-run – Off-nets achieved mid-to-high single digit increases with an emphasis on high profile shows – Dr. Oz was one of the biggest beneficiaries of Oprah’s departure with a 21% increase in the Upfront Migration of TV dollars to Digital – Crackle saw some benefit – but largely this was content-driven: matching current network content on-air and online – Exploring extended screen test with Nielsen this fall 36

37 U.S. Ad Sales – Strategic Priorities Continue to drive additional revenue for first run through advertiser integrations –i.e., The Dr. Oz Show: Walgreens, Subway, Weight Watchers Expand current base of advertisers for :30s and :10 to off-nets Develop emerging Cable Networks business –Amount of potential revenue growth tied to sub growth Find new 3 rd party representation opportunities Continue to support cable/network properties through Branded Entertainment Television Priorities Activate cross-platform sales of Seinfeld to grow TV and digital dollars –Working with Nielsen to create cross-platform ratings (extended screen) Drive dollars to Crackle with connected device strategy –BIVL, PSN, iPad, Android Increase PlayStation Network revenue through enhanced reporting Seek new opportunities/platforms to grow digital portfolio –i.e. Sharecare Find new 3 rd party representation opportunities Digital Priorities 37

38 U.S. Ad Sales – Growth Strategy Diffuse volatility in TV ad revenue market by growing a strong digital base Digital markets are continuing to emerge through an increase in digital platforms (i.e., mobile devices, game consoles, handheld tablets) Client base extends beyond traditional entertainment markets which allows for a more diverse portfolio – e.g., Sharecare Opportunity Year-over-year growth in TV ad revenue is limited by available shows Opportunities for 3 rd party ad sales representation in TV are declining Current Environment Consolidate inventory across platforms to create a digital ad network Initiate video only digital upfront market Utilize audience tracking to optimize CPMs Grow 3 rd party and digital revenue from $32MM to $106MM over the plan years resulting in profit contribution growth of almost 200% Strategy 38

42 Networks – Market Environment Macro economy is still recovering but not as fast or steady as originally anticipated – Subscriber revenue continues to be strong but ad revenues are softer than anticipated – India continues to prosper and Latam is strong but Europe is recovering much slower – Asia/Japan - Asia cable/satellite market continues to show growth; Japan growth slowing – US - carriage continues to be challenging but cross-divisional leverage creates opportunity Competition increasing as players roll out channels worldwide (e.g., Fox, NBCU, Turner, Discovery) Securing programming continues to be a challenge due to rising cost considerations and supplier constraints Numerous opportunities remain to acquire or launch new networks with significant returns FX movements now have an increasingly material impact on Networks projections – Annual EBIT variability of $40MM - $55MM across the plan if the dollar FX rate moves up (unfavorable) or down (favorable) by 10% 42

43 Networks – Strategic Priorities Buy out Indian partners and realize an Indian regional opportunity Explore ways to leverage studio relationship with GSN Carry on launching channels in new and existing territories to increase scale and increase sales leverage and program buying power Continue to invest in ad and affiliate sales infrastructure (Dolphin, AXN Central Europe, Russia Channels, Crackle Latam) Continue to secure programming supply through studio output deals and investment in original programming (The Firm). Increase 3 rd party acquisitions for US businesses Carry on expanding U.S. channels (CineSony, FEARnet buy up) and increase U.S. channels’ contribution to portfolio throughout the MRP period Maximize value in Crackle US and expand internationally (Latam, Brazil, Canada) Expand SPTL Asia facility to service EMEA channels 43

44 Networks – A Continuation of Strong Sustainable Growth Networks strong year-on-year earnings and revenue growth is forecast to continue Breaking through the $200MM milestone in FY12 (1 year ahead of plan) and the $300MM and $400MM milestones will also be achieved within the MRP period EBIT CAGR of 28% across the plan Revenue CAGR growth of over 14%, breaking both the $1.5B and $2B barriers within the plan Margin* pressure continues but expected to rise from 18% to 22% across the plan MSM India is forecast to have double digit margins (18%) Rising content costs, increased broadcasting costs from HD roll outs and the investment in ad sales and affiliate infrastructure keeps margins in check Continued annual investment in new operations will underpin future earnings growth Thirteen investments from prior years are expected to become profitable in the next 3 years Separately, the six planned launches/acquisitions in FY12 are expected to collectively generate $13MM of positive earnings in FY15 * Margin excludes GSN PPA to normalize year-on-year progression 44
