1 MID-RANGE PLAN SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT September 30, 2010
4/20/2017 SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT September 30, 2010 MID-RANGE PLAN Draft as of 23 Sept 2010

2 SPE has evolved over the past 7 years
SPE has taken the necessary steps to strengthen the business, mitigating the impact of market pressures and positioning the company for growth despite rapid change in the industry Film Previously Today Franchise Films Heavily dependent on a single franchise: Spider-Man Multiple established franchises: Ghostbusters, Men In Black, Dan Brown Novels, Resident Evil, Underworld Multiple new franchises: Stieg Larsson novels (e.g., Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) Breadth of Slate Dependent on Revolution to fill out slate Columbia’s slate more diverse Consistent volume of high margin films from Screen Gems Significant profits from acquired product Family Films Limited presence in family and animated films Established presence in animation, with ability to hold down talent costs and drive margins Expanded into high-margin faith-based segment Risk & Success Rates Made sizable bets on films with unknown talent 31% of FYE03 Columbia films reached break-even SPE bore all risk of slate Larger bets are behind well-known franchise brands and/or well-known talent 70% of FYE10 Columbia films reaching break-even Slate financing has mitigated risk and provided cash flow Relationships with top tier talent were ad hoc Costs rose in line with the growth in DVD; several “first dollar” deals Maintain top tier talent relationships (e.g., Will Smith, Adam Sandler) Managing costs down as home entertainment market declines; most deals pushed to “post-break” Talent

3 SPE has evolved over the past 7 years
Television Previously Today Nearly exited the domestic television production business Highest volume of U.S. series on-air in company history (25) Diversified across broadcast series like Rules of Engagement and Community, cable series like Breaking Bad, and first-run syndication hits like Dr. Oz Multiple series poised for syndication Domestic Production International Production Limited presence, primarily Germany and France Established in many key territories Expanded presence through the 2waytraffic acquisition Profitable, and growing with plans for continued expansion Networks Networks in early investment phase Multiple network brands, including SET, AXN, Animax, reaching 477MM households in 140+ countries Major contributor to SPE’s profit and growth EBIT growth from $23MM in FYE03 to $134MM(1) in FYE10 before monetization gains Cross Divisional Systems Significant in-house investment in IT Yet many systems inadequate to meet needs of operations Strategically outsourced to reduce costs Systems are now robust and suited to business needs Excludes Crackle.

4 The landscape going forward
The demand for filmed entertainment remains high and continues to grow The business is becoming increasingly complex as the home entertainment consumption and distribution landscape changes SPE is navigating these changes well: our creative process is working, we are investing prudently and we continue to manage costs We are also aggressively pursuing incremental upside from Sony United opportunities In FYE11 and FYE12, as home entertainment evolves and SPE invests in new properties, we will face pressure on cash and profits, but will achieve EBIT goals and reach cash flow break-even In FYE13 and FYE14, as franchise films are released, TV shows reach syndication, and profits from our TV networks continue to grow, SPE will generate significant EBIT and cash flow

6 Industry Trends and competitors

7 In the next five years, digital access to all forms of entertainment and media will accelerate
WW Broadband HHs(1) (MM) WW Smartphone Shipments(2) (MM) CAGR: 6% CAGR: 38% WW Connected Game Console HHs(3) (MM) WW Internet Connected TV HHs(3) (MM) CAGR: 14% CAGR: 51% ScreenDigest 2010. Strategy Analytics 03.10, SEL. Parks Associates

8 Consumption of entertainment content is up, but increasingly volatile
Box Office TV Viewership Home Entertainment Transactions North American box office has grown at a CAGR of 4% over the last 10 years However, in previous years price growth outpaced admissions growth and admissions are down year-to-date Usage per US TV household has steadily increased over the last 10 years Incremental to this is consumption across additional platforms/devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets etc.) Home entertainment continues to fluctuate, influenced by competing forces Decline in physical sell-through and shift to rental Within rental, shift to subscription, kiosk and VOD models Growth of digital US Box Office(1) US$ Billions Usage per US TV HH per Day(2) Hours:Minutes US Home Entertainment Transactions(3) Billions MPAA, BMO Capital Markets Nielsen, and BMO Capital Markets Adams Media Research / Screen Digest Includes video rental, video retail, cable/DBS/Telco VOD, online rental and online retail.

9 New release sell-through continues to decline
Domestic Sell Through Performance Against Box Office Across All Major Studios Quarter-on-Quarter % Change from CY2006 2006 to 2007 2006 to 2008 2006 to 2009 2006 to 2010 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Domestic new release sell-through box office factor is 35% below 2006 peak Source: Nielsen Home Scan, title-level analysis, major studios include Fox, Lionsgate, Paramount, SPHE, Universal, Warner, and Disney (includes distributed lines); box office adjusted for inflation and 3-D admissions. Notes: All Q2 values are comprised of their actual sales volumes (no titles are forecasted).

10 Catalog sales are in steady decline
Both discounted pricing and year-over-year volume decreases are contributing to the overall decrease in revenues Through August 2010, catalog revenue is experiencing double-digit declines (16%) vs. the same period in 2009 U.S. Consumer Revenues for Catalog Films(1) ($B) CAGR: (5%) (8%) (1%) (6%) Decline vs. 2006 - (8%) (8%) (14%) Average Price $10.88 $10.69 $10.07 $9.76 Source: Nielsen VideoScan Includes data from all major studios. Nielsen VideoScan revenue includes projections for all non-reporting retailers (e.g., WalMart) to estimate total national sales activity. (1) Catalog includes only those films with a theatrical release.

11 Rental transactions are shifting to more convenient models
Brick-and-mortar transactions are expected to continue declining Kiosk and subscription transactions are projected to continue growing, accounting for the majority of total domestic rental transactions in 2014 VOD transactions are growing as well and expected to exceed brick and mortar rental transactions Studios will need to explore options for shoring-up lower margin models (e.g., windows on Kiosk and subscription) and driving demand for higher margin VOD models US Consumer Rental Transactions (B)(1) Industry Average $ Contribution per Transaction(2) (3) (1) Screen Digest VOD includes online, telco, MSO and DBS. (2) Morgan Stanley SPHE margins generally in-line with industry averages with exception of Redbox where SPHE margin is ~$1.10 vs. industry kiosk average of $0.95. (3) Brick and mortar (B&M) margin represents a weighted average of traditional DVD and Blu-ray rental margins. Weighting based on number of total domestic 2009 rental units consumed by format (i.e., 95% traditional DVD, 5% Blu-ray) per Morgan Stanley

12 Impact on home entertainment distribution
Brick and Mortar Retail Mass retailers are reducing HE shelf-space, the remaining space is being devoted to new-release at the expense of catalog, and there is downward price pressure on Blu-ray Pure “rentailers” are struggling to remain in business (e.g., Movie Gallery & Hollywood Video have closed and Blockbuster has filed for bankruptcy protection) New Distribution Partners Gaining Strength Consumers are turning to subscription (i.e., Netflix, Lovefilm) and kiosk (i.e., Redbox) channels due to a superior combination of convenience and value Lower margin subscription providers and kiosk services are expected to account for 75% of rental spend by 2014 Digital is a Growth Driver; But Physical Remains Important Despite faster growth in digital revenues, traditional/physical revenue streams will remain significant for the next five years Improving home entertainment economics can be achieved by growing digital while seeking to drive adoption of higher margin physical models (e.g., Blu-ray)

13 Competitor response to a changing landscape
Competitors will likely draw on diverse assets to drive near-term results Profits from established franchises with sequels in the next two years Captive publishing arms (e.g., Disney/Marvel, WB/DC) for new franchises Captive U.S. TV networks (e.g., Disney/ABC, Fox/Fox, Universal/NBC) to drive TV production success and associated profits International networks for growth Ancillary profits (e.g., merchandise) from consumer-friendly brands (e.g., Disney) Large film/TV libraries that generate substantial cash flow and earnings even as HE declines However, all face economic challenges and appear to be addressing challenges by: Continuing to emphasize franchise films Managing talent costs (although costs have not dropped sufficiently and bidding wars still occur) Attempting to drive higher-margin HE models (e.g., WB with DVD2Blu; all studios rumored to be in discussions of new windows) Working through strategies to capitalize on new partners’ willingness to pay (e.g., Netflix) without accelerating cannibalization of HE sell-through (e.g., 28-day window) Driving profits in TV production and network growth

14 4/20/2017 SPE MRP Overview

15 SPE MRP Overview Market changes, in conjunction with the timing of SPE’s release slate, will put pressure on SPE’s economics in FYE11 and FYE12 Further deterioration in home entertainment A significant number of films scheduled for release in the 4th quarter of FYE11 Lower ultimate gross profit per film for Columbia due, in part, to the absence of franchise films, including the delay of the next Spider-Man (delay reduces FYE12 earnings by ~$100MM) Flat earnings in U.S. television production due, in part, to product not entering syndication until FYE13 and FYE14 A negative impact from the weakening of the euro and sterling against the US dollar As a result, asset monetizations will likely be required to achieve FYE11 and FYE12 EBIT goals and SPE will have near-term cash pressure as it invests in future profits FYE11 forecast EBIT of $369MM, requires $197MM from monetizations / other EBIT improvements FYE12 MRP EBIT of $375MM, requires $195MM from monetizations / other EBIT improvements Net cash flow is breakeven in FYE11 and FYE12 Strong earnings and cash flow growth will occur in FYE13 and FYE14 as near-term investments yield returns Franchise films are released TV shows in syndication Strong network profit growth Benefits of previous overhead reductions continue

16 SPE MRP Overview SPE EBIT ($MM)
SPE anticipates meaningful growth with $500MM of EBIT in FYE13 and $600MM of EBIT in FYE14 Translates to $150MM and $300MM of net cash flow in FYE13 and FYE14, respectively Columbia franchise films significantly increase average ultimate profit per film Continued growth in TV networks EBIT: $255MM in FYE14 vs. $158MM in FYE11 Continued growth in U.S. Television production EBIT due to strong syndication: $269MM in FYE14 vs. $195MM in FYE11 EBIT over the MRP period also benefits from FYE09 and FYE10 cost reduction efforts which generated overhead savings of approximately $150MM SPE EBIT ($MM) Notes: FYE11 EBIT excludes $23MM of restructuring costs related to last year’s Overhead Reduction Initiative. FYE11 and FYE12 include estimated monetizations of $197m and $195m, respectively. 3D Networks included in all years: $6MM loss in FYE11, $10MM loss in FYE12 ; $5MM loss in FYE13 and $1MM profit in FYE14.
