THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data)
1. | Principles of Consolidation |
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that we have included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 29, 2012. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company enters into relationships or investments with other entities, and in certain instances, the entity in which the Company has a relationship or investment may be a variable interest entity (VIE). A VIE is consolidated in the financial statements if the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Although the Company has less than a 50% direct ownership interest in Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Shanghai Disney Resort, they are VIEs, and given the nature of the Companys relationships with these entities, which include management agreements, the Company has consolidated Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Shanghai Disney Resort in its financial statements.
The terms Company, we, us, and our are used in this report to refer collectively to the parent company and the subsidiaries through which our various businesses are actually conducted.
2. | Segment Information |
The operating segments reported below are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which segment results are evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company reports the performance of its operating segments including equity in the income of investees, which are primarily cable businesses included in the Media Networks segment.

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data)
3. | Acquisitions |
UTV
Pursuant to a delisting offer process governed by Indian law, on February 2, 2012, the Company purchased additional publicly held shares and all of the shares held by the founder of UTV Software Communications Limited (UTV), a media and entertainment company headquartered and publicly traded in India, for $377 million. The Company also assumed approximately $300 million of UTVs borrowings. The purchase increased the Companys ownership interest to 93% from 50%. As a result, the Company changed its accounting for UTV from an equity method investment to a consolidated subsidiary. The acquisition of UTV supports the Companys strategic priority of increasing its brand presence and reach in key international markets.
Upon consolidation, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $184 million ($116 million after tax) as a result of adjusting the carrying value of the Companys 50% equity investment to its estimated fair value of $405 million. The gain was recorded in Other Income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The fair value was determined based on the Companys internal valuation of the UTV business using an income approach (discounted cash flow model) which the Company believes provides the most appropriate indicator of fair value.
The Company has performed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The majority of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill, which is not amortizable for tax purposes. The goodwill reflects the synergies and increased Indian market penetration expected from combining the operations of UTV and the Company.
In accordance with Indian securities regulation, the Company can be required to purchase any outstanding UTV shares at the election of each remaining UTV shareholder for 1,100 Indian rupees per share until March 16, 2013. To date, the Company has paid $63 million to acquire an incremental 6% interest bringing its ownership percentage to 99%.
Seven TV
On November 18, 2011, the Company acquired a 49% ownership interest in Seven TV, a broadcast television network in Russia for $300 million. Seven TV was converted to an ad-supported, free-to-air Disney Channel in Russia. The Company accounts for its interest in Seven TV as an equity method investment.
AETN
A&E Television Networks LLC (AETN) operates multiple cable broadcasting services and is owned 42.1% by the Company, 42.1% by the Hearst Corporation (Hearst) and 15.8% by NBCUniversal. On July 9, 2012, AETN agreed to redeem NBCUniversals entire 15.8% equity interest for approximately $3 billion. Approximately $2.5 billion represents the enterprise value of NBCUniversals equity interest in AETN, and the balance of approximately $0.5 billion represents the value of tax benefits expected to be generated as a result of the transaction, which is to be paid to NBCUniversal in accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of AETN. As a result of the transaction, the Companys and Hearsts ownership interest would increase to 50%. The transaction is expected to close prior to the end of calendar 2012 upon the satisfaction of closing conditions. The Company and Hearst will each make a $300 million equity contribution to AETN and each will potentially provide up to $500 million in shareholder loans to assist in financing the transaction. The Company expects that it will continue to account for its interest in AETN as an equity method investment.

In June 2012, the Company entered into a new five-year $2.25 billion bank facility with a syndicate of lenders. This facility replaced an existing three-year $2.25 billion facility which was scheduled to expire in 2013, and in combination with an existing $2.25 billion facility that matures in 2015, is used to support commercial paper borrowings. The bank facilities allow for borrowings at LIBOR-based rates plus a spread depending on the credit default swap spread applicable to the Companys debt, subject to a cap and a floor that vary with the Companys public debt rating. The spread above LIBOR can range from 0.26% to 1.93%.
6. | International Theme Park Investments |
The Company has a 51% effective ownership interest in the operations of Disneyland Paris, a 48% ownership interest in the operations of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and a 43% ownership interest in the operations of Shanghai Disney Resort (collectively the International Theme Parks), all of which are consolidated in the Companys financial statements.

Legal Matters
Celador International Ltd. v. American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. On May 19, 2004, an affiliate of the creator and licensor of the television program, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, filed an action against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. and Buena Vista Television, LLC, alleging it was damaged by defendants improperly engaging in certain intra-company transactions and charging merchandise distribution expenses, resulting in an underpayment to the plaintiff. On July 7, 2010, the jury returned a verdict for breach of contract against certain subsidiaries of the Company, awarding plaintiff damages of $269.4 million. The Company has stipulated with the plaintiff to an award of prejudgment interest of $50 million, which amount will be reduced pro rata should the Court of Appeals reduce the damages amount. On December 21, 2010, the Companys

alternative motions for a new trial and for judgment as a matter of law were denied. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit, the Company believes the jurys verdict is in error and is vigorously pursuing its position on appeal, notice of which was filed by the Company on January 14, 2011. On or about January 28, 2011, plaintiff filed a notice of cross-appeal. The Company has determined that it does not have a probable loss under the applicable accounting standard relating to probability of loss for recording a reserve with respect to this litigation and therefore has not recorded a reserve.
The Company, together with, in some instances, certain of its directors and officers, is a defendant or codefendant in various other legal actions involving copyright, breach of contract and various other claims incident to the conduct of its businesses. Management does not expect the Company to suffer any material liability by reason of these actions.
Contractual Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed bond issuances by the Anaheim Public Authority that were used by the City of Anaheim to finance construction of infrastructure and a public parking facility adjacent to the Disneyland Resort. Revenues from sales, occupancy and property taxes from the Disneyland Resort and non-Disney hotels are used by the City of Anaheim to repay the bonds. In the event of a debt service shortfall, the Company will be responsible to fund the shortfall. As of June 30, 2012, the remaining debt service obligation guaranteed by the Company was $355 million, of which $84 million was principal. To the extent that tax revenues exceed the debt service payments in subsequent periods, the Company would be reimbursed for any previously funded shortfalls. To date, tax revenues have exceeded the debt service payments for the Anaheim bonds.
ESPN STAR Sports, a joint venture in which ESPN owns a 50% equity interest, has agreements for global rights to certain cricket programming through 2019. ESPN and the other joint-venture partner have jointly guaranteed the programming rights obligation of approximately $0.9 billion.
Long-Term Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company has accounts receivable with original maturities greater than one year in duration principally related to the Companys sale of program rights in the television syndication markets within the Media Networks segment and the Companys vacation ownership units within the Parks and Resorts segment. Allowances for credit losses are established against these receivables as necessary.
The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses related to receivables for the sale of syndicated programming based upon a number of factors, including historical experience, and an ongoing review of the financial condition of individual companies with which we do business. The balance of syndication receivables recorded in other non-current assets, net of an immaterial allowance for credit losses, was $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2012. The activity in the current period related to the allowance for credit losses was not material.
The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses related to receivables for sales of its vacation ownership units based primarily on historical collection experience. Projections of uncollectible amounts are also based on consideration of the economic environment and the age of receivables. The balance of mortgage receivables recorded in other non-current assets, net of a related allowance for credit losses of approximately 3%, was approximately $0.7 billion as of June 30, 2012. The activity in the period related to the allowance for credit losses was not material.

Income Taxes
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company settled certain tax matters with various jurisdictions. As a result of these settlements, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits by $126 million, including interest and penalties.
In the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could change due to resolutions of open tax matters. These resolutions would reduce our unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $52 million.
12. | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in the following three categories:
Level 1 | Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets | |
Level 2 | Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets | |
Level 3 | Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable |
The Companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized by level in the following tables:

(1) | The Company has a master netting arrangement by counterparty with respect to certain derivative contracts. Contracts in a liability position totaling $111 million and $167 million have been netted against contracts in an asset position in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively. |
Level 1 borrowings consist of U.S. medium-term notes.
The fair values of Level 2 investments are primarily determined by reference to market prices based on recent trading activity and other relevant information including pricing for similar securities as determined by third-party pricing services.
The fair values of Level 2 derivatives are primarily determined based on the present value of future cash flows using internal models that use observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves and foreign currency exchange rates. Counterparty credit risk, which is mitigated by master netting agreements and collateral posting arrangements with certain counterparties, did not have a material impact on derivative fair value estimates.
Level 2 borrowings, which include commercial paper and U.S. medium-term notes, are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.
Level 3 residual interests relate to securitized vacation ownership mortgage receivables and are valued using a discounted cash flow model that considers estimated interest rates, discount rates, prepayment, and defaults. On June 5, 2012, the Company repurchased previously sold mortgage receivables.
Level 3 borrowings, which include International Theme Parks borrowings and other foreign currency denominated borrowings, are valued based on historical market transactions, interest rates, credit risk and market liquidity.
The Companys financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair values.
The Company also has assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis when certain circumstances occur. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011,

(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data)
the Company recorded impairment charges of $111 million and $43 million, respectively, on film productions. These impairment charges are reported in Costs and expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The film impairment charges reflected the excess of the unamortized cost of the films over the estimated fair value using discounted cash flows. The discounted cash flow analysis is a level 3 valuation technique. The aggregate carrying values of the films for which we prepared the fair value analyses were $124 million and $94 million as of June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Through December 4, 2008, the Company sold mortgage receivables arising from sales of its vacation ownership units under a facility that expired on December 4, 2008 and was not renewed. The Company continued to service the sold receivables and had a residual interest in those receivables. On June 5, 2012, the Company repurchased these receivables for $191 million which equaled the outstanding principal balance and approximated fair value.
13. | Derivative Instruments |
The Company manages its exposure to various risks of its ongoing business operations according to a risk management policy. The primary risks managed with derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.
The following tables summarize the gross fair value of the Companys derivative positions as of June 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011:

Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its borrowing activities. The Companys objective is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and on the market value of its borrowings. In accordance with its policy, the Company targets its fixed-rate debt as a percentage of its net debt between a minimum and maximum percentage. The Company typically uses pay-floating and pay-fixed interest rate swaps to facilitate its interest rate management activities.
The Company designates pay-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings effectively converting fixed-rate borrowings to variable rate borrowings indexed to LIBOR. As of June 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, the total notional amount of the Companys pay-floating interest rate swaps was $3.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The following table summarizes adjustments related to fair value hedges included in net interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company may designate pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest payments on floating-rate borrowings. Pay-fixed swaps effectively convert floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings. The unrealized gain or losses from these cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and recognized in interest expense as the interest payments occur. The Company did not have pay-fixed interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments at June 30, 2012 nor at October 1, 2011.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company transacts business globally and is subject to risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates. The Companys objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow fluctuations associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes, enabling management to focus on core business issues and challenges.

(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data)
The Company enters into option and forward contracts that change in value as foreign currency exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted but not firmly committed foreign currency transactions. In accordance with policy, the Company hedges its forecasted foreign currency transactions for periods generally not to exceed four years within an established minimum and maximum range of annual exposure. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of the related forecasted transaction, asset, liability or firm commitment. The principal currencies hedged are the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and British pound. Cross-currency swaps are used to effectively convert foreign currency-denominated borrowings into U.S. dollar denominated borrowings.
The Company designates foreign exchange forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges of firmly committed and forecasted foreign currency transactions. As of June 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, the notional amounts of the Companys net foreign exchange cash flow hedges were $5.2 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. Mark to market gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in AOCI and are recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur, offsetting changes in the value of the foreign currency transactions. Gains and losses recognized related to ineffectiveness for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 were not material. Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI for contracts that will mature in the next twelve months totaled $120 million. The following table summarizes the pre-tax adjustments to AOCI for foreign exchange cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange risk management contracts with respect to foreign currency assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. The notional amounts of these foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011 were $2.8 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. During the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, the Company recognized net gains of $130 million and net losses of $62 million, respectively, in costs and expenses on these foreign exchange contracts which offset respective net losses of $136 million and net gains of $63 million on the related economic exposures. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, the Company recognized net gains of $73 million and net losses of $127 million, respectively, in costs and expenses on these foreign exchange contracts which offset respective net losses of $109 million and net gains of $119 million on the related economic exposures.
Commodity Price Risk Management
The Company is subject to the volatility of commodities prices and designates certain commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted commodity purchases. Mark to market gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in AOCI and are recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur, offsetting changes in the value of commodity purchases. The fair value of the commodity hedging contracts and related gains or losses recognized in earnings were not material at June 30, 2012 nor at October 1, 2011.
Risk Management Other Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
The Company enters into certain other risk management contracts that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts, which may include pay fixed interest rate swaps and certain commodity swap contracts, are intended to offset economic exposures of the Company and are carried at market value with any changes in value recorded in earnings.

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data)
At June 30, 2012, the notional amount of other risk management contracts was not material. The notional amount of these pay fixed interest rate swaps not designated as hedges at October 1, 2011 was $184 million. On June 5, 2012, the Company terminated these pay fixed interest rate swaps in connection with the repurchase of securitized vacation ownership mortgage receivables. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, gains and losses recognized in income on these risk management contracts were not material.
Contingent Features
The Companys derivative financial instruments may require the Company to post collateral in the event that a net liability position with a counterparty exceeds limits defined by contract and that vary with the Companys credit rating. If the Companys credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, such counterparties would also have the right to terminate our derivative contracts, which could lead to a net payment to or from the Company for the aggregate net value by counterparty of our derivative contracts. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position by counterparty were $21 million and $114 million on June 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively.
14. | Restructuring and Impairment Charges |
In the current quarter and nine months, the Company recorded $7 million and $51 million, respectively, of restructuring and impairment charges primarily for severance and related costs for organizational and cost structure initiatives, across various of our businesses.
In the prior-year quarter and nine months, the Company recorded $34 million and $46 million, respectively, of restructuring and impairment charges for severance and facilities costs related to organizational and cost structure initiatives, primarily at our Studio Entertainment and Interactive segments.

Quarter Results
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 31% for the quarter driven by improved segment performance, a decrease in weighted average shares outstanding and a lower effective income tax rate. Improved segment results were driven by the worldwide theatrical success of Marvels The Avengers, the benefit from contractual rate increases and subscriber growth on revenues from Multi-channel Video Service Providers (MVSP) (Affiliate Fees) along with higher advertising revenues at ESPN, increased guest spending at our domestic parks and resorts, the launch of the Disney Fantasy cruise ship, and an increase in royalties from Tokyo Disney Resort, which was impacted by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan in the prior-year. These increases were partially offset by a negative impact from the timing of deferred Affiliate Fee revenue recognition at ESPN, increased operating expenses at our domestic parks and resorts and higher programming and production costs at ESPN. The Affiliate Fee timing impact at ESPN of $139 million was due to a change in the provisions related to annual programming commitments in a MVSP contract, which shifted the recognition of affiliate revenue to the first and second quarter of the current year as compared to recognition in the third quarter of the prior year.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Nine-Month Results
Diluted EPS increased 26% for the nine months driven by improved segment performance and a decrease in weighted average shares outstanding as well as a gain related to an acquisition discussed below. Improved segment results were driven by higher attendance and guest spending at our domestic parks and resorts, higher Affiliate Fees due to contractual rate increases and subscriber growth along with higher advertising revenues at ESPN, an increase at Tokyo Disney Resort and the worldwide theatrical success of Marvels The Avengers. These increases were partially offset by higher film cost write-downs, increased operating expenses at our domestic parks and resorts, higher programming and production costs at ESPN and lower political advertising revenues at our local television stations.
In the current nine months, the Company recorded a $184 million ($116 million after tax) non-cash gain in connection with the Companys acquisition of an incremental interest in UTV Software Communication Limited (UTV Gain) and $51 million ($32 million after tax) of restructuring and impairment charges due to severance related to organizational and cost structure initiatives. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the UTV Gain.
In the prior-year nine months, the Company recorded $46 million of restructuring and impairment charges and gains on the sale of Miramax and BASS totaling $75 million. Restructuring and impairment charges in the prior-year quarter included an impairment related to assets that had tax basis in excess of the book value resulting in a $44 million tax benefit on the restructuring and impairment charges. The book value of Miramax included allocated goodwill totaling $217 million which is not tax deductible. Accordingly, the taxable gain on the sales of Miramax and BASS exceeded the $75 million book gain resulting in tax expense of $107 million. The table below shows the pretax and after tax impact of the prior year items.

SEASONALITY
The Companys businesses are subject to the effects of seasonality. Consequently, the operating results for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2012 for each business segment, and for the Company as a whole, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Media Networks revenues are subject to seasonal advertising patterns and changes in viewership levels. In general, advertising revenues are somewhat higher during the fall and somewhat lower during the summer months. Affiliate revenues are typically collected ratably throughout the year. Certain affiliate revenues at ESPN are deferred until annual programming commitments are met, and these commitments are typically satisfied during the second half of the Companys fiscal year, which generally results in higher revenue recognition during that period.
Parks and Resorts revenues fluctuate with changes in theme park attendance and resort occupancy resulting from the seasonal nature of vacation travel and leisure activities. Peak attendance and resort occupancy generally occur during the summer months when school vacations occur and during early-winter and spring-holiday periods.
24
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Studio Entertainment revenues fluctuate due to the timing and performance of releases in the theatrical, home entertainment, and television markets. Release dates are determined by several factors, including competition and the timing of vacation and holiday periods.
Consumer Products revenues are influenced by seasonal consumer purchasing behavior, which generally results in increased revenues during the Companys first fiscal quarter, and by the timing and performance of theatrical releases and cable programming broadcasts.
Interactive revenues fluctuate due to the timing and performance of video game releases which are determined by several factors, including theatrical releases and cable programming broadcasts, competition and the timing of holiday periods. Revenues from certain of our internet and mobile operations are subject to similar seasonal trends.

Revenues
Affiliate Fees were essentially flat as an increase of 6% from higher contractual rates and subscriber growth at both ESPN and the domestic Disney Channels were offset by a 5% reduction in revenue recognition due to a change in the provisions related to annual programming commitments in a MVSP contract at Cable Networks, which shifted the recognition of affiliate revenue to the first and second quarter of the current year as compared to recognition in the third quarter of the prior year.
Higher advertising revenues were due to an increase of $115 million, or 13%, at Cable Networks from $859 million to $974 million, partially offset by a decrease of $8 million at Broadcasting from $1,054 million to $1,046 million. Advertising revenue growth at Cable Networks was driven by an increase of 4% due to higher rates, an increase of 3% due to higher units sold and an increase of 3% due to higher ratings at ESPN, all of which included the impact of the timing of NBA games due to the NBA lockout which shifted games into the third quarter of the current year. The change in revenues at Broadcasting resulted from lower ratings at the ABC Television Network, largely offset by higher rates.
The increase in other revenues reflected higher revenue from the sale of ABC Studios productions and higher royalties from MVSP distribution of our programs.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses include programming and production costs, which increased $85 million from $1,971 million to $2,056 million. At Cable Networks, an increase in programming and production costs of $100 million was primarily due to the timing of NBA games and contractual rate increases for NBA and Major League Baseball programming. At Broadcasting, the $15 million decrease in programming and production costs reflected the absence of The Oprah Winfrey Show at our local television stations.
The decrease in selling, general, administrative and other costs and expenses is primarily due to lower marketing costs at ABC Family reflecting fewer series premieres in the current year quarter.
Equity in the Income of Investees
Income from equity investees was $170 million for the current quarter compared to $184 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in income from equity investees was primarily due to higher operating costs at Hulu.

Revenues
Parks and Resorts revenues increased 9%, or $271 million due to an increase of $257 million at our domestic operations and an increase of $14 million at our international operations.
Revenue growth of 10% at our domestic operations reflected a 5% increase from higher average guest spending and a 4% increase from volume. Increased guest spending was due to higher average ticket prices, food, beverage and merchandise spending and daily hotel room rates. Higher volume was driven by the addition of the Disney Fantasy cruise ship which launched in March 2012.
28
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Revenue growth of 2% at our international operations reflected a 4% increase from higher average guest spending, a 4% increase from higher royalty revenue from Tokyo Disney Resort and a 1% increase from higher attendance at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. These increases were partially offset by a 7% decrease due to the impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Higher guest spending was primarily due to higher daily hotel room rates. The increase at Tokyo Disney Resort reflected the loss of income from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan which resulted in a temporary suspension of operations at the resort and a reduction in volume after reopening in the prior-year quarter.

Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses include operating labor which increased by $74 million from $923 million to $997 million and cost of sales which increased $25 million from $312 million to $337 million. Higher operating labor was driven by new guest offerings and labor cost inflation. The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher volumes. Operating expenses also increased due to costs associated with new guest offerings, including fuel, supplies and entertainment, and investments in systems infrastructure. New guest offerings included the Disney Fantasy, the expansion of Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort and our new hotel and vacation club resort in Hawaii. These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.
The increase in selling, general, administrative and other costs was driven by marketing of new guest offerings and resort expansions and labor and other cost inflation.
Segment Operating Income
Segment operating income increased 21%, or $111 million, to $630 million due to increases at Tokyo Disney Resort, Disney Cruise Line and our domestic parks and resorts.

Revenues
The increase in theatrical distribution revenue was primarily due to the strong performance of Marvels The Avengers in the current quarter compared to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Thor in the prior-year quarter. Other key titles included Brave in the current quarter and Cars 2 in the prior-year quarter.
Lower home entertainment revenue reflected a 44% decrease due to a decline in unit sales reflecting lower performance of current quarter titles and lower catalog sales. Significant current quarter titles included John Carter and The Muppets while the prior-year quarter included Tron: Legacy and Tangled.
The increase in television distribution and other revenue was driven by higher sales in international television distribution due to stronger performing titles available in the current quarter compared to the prior-year quarter.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expense included a decrease of $137 million in film cost amortization, from $571 million to $434 million driven by a lower amortization rate for Marvels The Avengers in the current quarter compared to the amortization rate for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in the prior-year quarter, lower home entertainment sales volume and lower film cost write-downs. Operating expenses also include cost of goods sold and distribution costs which decreased $31 million, from $343 million to $312 million driven by a decline in home entertainment unit sales.
The decrease in selling, general, administrative and other costs was primarily due to lower marketing expenses at our theatrical and home entertainment businesses due to fewer major releases in the current year quarter.
Segment Operating Income
Segment operating income increased $264 million to $313 million due to improved theatrical and television distribution results, partially offset by a decrease in home entertainment results.

Revenues
The 9% increase in licensing and publishing revenue was driven by an increase in licensing revenue while publishing revenue was flat to the prior-year quarter. The increase at licensing was due to a lower revenue share with Studio Entertainment and higher licensing revenue in Japan as a result of the impact in the prior year from the earthquake and tsunami. The lower revenue share with Studio Entertainment reflected a higher mix of revenues from properties subject to the revenue share in the prior-year quarter driven by sales of Cars merchandise.
Higher retail and other revenue reflected a 7% increase from our retail business driven by new stores in North America and Europe, increased online sales and higher comparable store sales in North America.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses included an increase of $9 million in cost of goods sold, from $115 million to $124 million, driven by increased sales volume at our retail business. The increase was largely offset by lower third-party royalty expense and a decrease in distribution expense.
Segment Operating Income
Segment operating income increased 35% to $209 million due to increases at our licensing and retail businesses.
Restructuring and impairment charges
The Company recorded charges totaling $8 million in the current quarter related to the Consumer Products segment, which were reported in Restructuring and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The current quarter charges were for severance related to organizational and cost structure initiatives. There were no charges recorded in the prior-year quarter.

Revenues
The decrease in game sales and subscriptions revenue reflected a 43% decrease from a decline in console game unit sales reflecting fewer titles in release in the current quarter and stronger performing titles in the prior-year quarter. Current quarter titles included Brave while the prior-year quarter included Lego Pirates of the Caribbean and Cars 2. The decrease was partially offset by higher recognition of minimum guarantees for licensed video games and improved social games performance in the current quarter.
Higher advertising and other revenue was driven by our mobile phone service in Japan due to increased subscribers and higher rates.
Costs and Expenses
Lower operating expense included a decrease in product development costs from $89 million to $80 million driven by decreased console game development and a decrease in cost of sales from $99 million to $48 million driven by lower unit sales of console games. The decrease in operating expenses also reflected higher cost allocations to other Company businesses related to website design and maintenance services.
The decrease in selling, general, administrative and other expenses was driven by lower marketing costs at our console games business due to fewer releases in the current quarter and lower acquisition accounting impacts at our social games business, which had a higher adverse impact on the prior-year quarter.
Segment Operating Loss
Segment operating loss was $42 million compared to $86 million in the prior-year quarter driven by improved results at our social games and online businesses.
Restructuring and impairment charges
The Company recorded charges totaling $1 million and $7 million in the current and prior-year quarters, respectively, related to the Interactive segment, which were reported in Restructuring and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Revenues
The 6% increase in Affiliate Fees reflected increases of 5% from higher contractual rates and 1% from subscriber growth at Cable Networks.
Higher advertising revenues were due to an increase of $234 million at Cable Networks from $2,705 million to $2,939 million, partially offset by a decrease of $57 million at Broadcasting from $3,197 million to $3,140 million. The increase at Cable Networks was driven by a 5% increase from higher rates and a 3% increase due to higher units sold, partially offset by a 1% decrease due to ratings at ESPN. The decrease at Broadcasting reflected a 2% decrease due to lower local television political advertising revenues and a 5% decrease due to lower ratings at the ABC Television Network, partially offset by a 5% increase due to higher rates at the ABC Television Network.
The increase in other revenues reflected sales of Disney Channel and ABC Family programs and higher royalties from MVSP distribution of our programs, partially offset by lower sales of ABC Studios productions driven by Brothers and Sisters and Lost.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses include programming and production costs which increased $131 million from $6,582 million to $6,713 million. At Cable Networks, an increase in programming and production spending of $239 million was primarily due to higher sports rights costs driven by contractual rate increases for college sports and NFL. At Broadcasting, programming and production costs decreased $108 million driven by lower production cost amortization due to decreased sales of ABC Studios productions and the absence of The Oprah Winfrey Show at our local television stations.
The increase in selling, general and administrative and other costs and expenses includes higher marketing costs at the ABC Television Network and the international Disney Channels.
Equity in the Income of Investees
Income from equity investees decreased by $11 million from $463 million to $452 million. The decrease was due to higher programming and marketing costs at Hulu and higher equity losses at UTV, partially offset by increased affiliate and advertising revenues at A&E Television Networks.

Revenues
Parks and Resorts revenues increased 10%, or $827 million due to increases of $749 million at our domestic operations and $78 million at our international operations.
Revenue growth of 11% at our domestic operations reflected a 5% increase from higher average guest spending at our domestic parks and resorts and a 5% increase due to higher volume. The volume increase was driven by higher passenger cruise ship days from the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy which launched in January 2011 and March 2012, respectively, increased attendance at our domestic parks and higher hotel occupied room nights from our Hawaii resort which opened in August 2011. Guest spending increased due to higher average ticket prices, food, beverage and merchandise spending, and daily hotel room rates.
Revenue growth of 5% at our international operations reflected a 4% increase from higher average guest spending, a 3% increase from higher royalty revenue from Tokyo Disney Resort and a 1% increase from higher attendance at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of 3% from the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and a decrease of 1% from lower hotel occupancy at Disneyland Paris. Higher guest spending was primarily due to higher daily hotel room rates and average ticket prices. The increase at Tokyo Disney Resort reflected the prior-year impact from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses include operating labor which increased by $233 million from $2,642 million to $2,875 million and cost of sales which increased by $44 million from $898 million to $942 million. Higher operating labor was driven by labor cost inflation and new guest offerings. The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher volumes. Operating expenses also increased due to costs associated with new guest offerings, including fuel, supplies and entertainment, and investments in systems infrastructure. New guest offerings included the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, our new hotel and vacation club resort in Hawaii, and the expansion of Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort. These increases were partially offset by a favorable impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and the collection of business interruption insurance proceeds related to the prior-year earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The increase in selling, general, administrative and other costs was driven by labor and other cost inflation and marketing of new guest offerings and resort expansions.
Segment Operating Income
Segment operating income increased 24%, or $273 million, to $1.4 billion due to increases at our domestic parks and resorts, Tokyo Disney Resort, Disney Cruise Line and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, partially offset by a decrease at Disneyland Paris.

Revenues
Lower theatrical distribution revenue reflected fewer Disney branded titles in wide release in the current period. The decrease was partially offset by the strong performance of Marvels The Avengers in the current period compared to Thor in the prior-year period. Key Disney branded titles in the prior year included Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Tangled, Tron: Legacy, and Cars 2 while the current period included John Carter, Brave and The Muppets.
The decrease in home entertainment revenue reflected a 17% decrease due to a decline in unit sales reflecting the performance of the current-period titles and lower catalog sales. Significant titles in the current period included Cars 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides while the prior-year period included Toy Story 3 and Tangled. Additionally, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was released in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 in certain key international markets.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses included a decrease of $245 million in film cost amortization, from $1,463 million to $1,218 million driven by fewer Disney branded theatrical titles in release and lower home entertainment sales volume, partially offset by amortization for Marvels The Avengers and higher film cost write-downs in the current period. Operating expenses also include cost of goods sold and distribution costs which decreased $102 million, from $1,046 million to $944 million driven by a decline in home entertainment unit sales.
The decrease in selling, general, administrative and other costs was primarily due to lower theatrical marketing expenses driven by fewer Disney branded titles in the current period and decreased marketing spend at our home entertainment business.
Segment Operating Income
Segment operating income increased 28% to $642 million primarily due to improved results at our theatrical business partially offset by decreased home entertainment results.
Restructuring and impairment charges
The Company recorded charges of $4 million and $31 million in the current and prior-year nine month periods, respectively, related to the Studio Entertainment segment, which were reported in Restructuring and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The prior-year nine month period charges were for severance and facilities costs related to organizational and cost structure initiatives.

Revenues
The 7% increase in licensing and publishing revenue reflected a 5% increase from licensing revenue driven by the performance of Spider-Man, Avengers, Minnie and Mickey merchandise, higher recognition of minimum guarantees and a 2% increase from a favorable impact of foreign currency translation primarily as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese Yen.
Higher retail and other revenue reflected a 5% increase from our retail business driven by new stores in North America and Europe, increased online sales due to promotional events, and higher comparable store sales in North America. The increase was partially offset by lower comparable store sales in Europe.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses included an increase of $18 million in cost of goods sold, from $433 million to $451 million, driven by increased sales volume at our retail business. Operating expenses also increased 2% due to higher labor and occupancy costs driven by the expansion of the Disney English business in China and new retail stores in North America and Europe. These increases were partially offset by lower third-party royalty expense in the current period.
The increase in selling, general, administrative and other expenses was driven by higher marketing and promotions expense and an unfavorable foreign currency impact at our licensing business driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese Yen.
Segment Operating Income
Segment operating income increased 10% to $670 million due to an increase at our licensing business.
Restructuring and impairment charges
The Company recorded charges totaling $15 million in the current nine month period related to the Consumer Products segment, which were reported in Restructuring and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The current nine month period charges were due to severance related to organizational and cost structure initiatives. There were no charges recorded in the prior-year nine month period.

Revenues
The decrease in game sales and subscriptions revenue reflected a 30% decrease from lower console game unit sales and a 4% decrease from lower net effective pricing of console games reflecting the strong performance of Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars 2 and Epic Mickey in the prior-year period. The decrease was partially offset by a 13% increase from higher social games revenue reflecting improved title performance in the current period and lower acquisition accounting impacts, which were adverse to the prior-year period.
Higher advertising and other revenue was driven by our mobile phone service in Japan due to higher rates.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses included a $24 million decrease in product development costs from $256 million to $232 million driven by decreased console game development. Operating expenses also include cost of sales, which decreased by $56 million from $249 million to $193 million driven by lower console game sales volume, partially offset by an increase at social games associated with revenue growth.
The decrease in selling, general, administrative and other costs was primarily due to lower marketing costs at our console games business driven by fewer releases in the current period, lower acquisition accounting expenses at our social games business, and higher cost allocations to other Company businesses related to website design and maintenance services.
Segment Operating Loss
Segment operating loss decreased 35% to $140 million driven by improved results at our social games and online businesses partially offset by a decrease at our console games business.
Restructuring and impairment charges
The Company recorded charges totaling $9 million and $19 million in the current and prior-year periods, respectively, related to the Interactive segment, which were reported in Restructuring and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The current nine month period charges were driven by the impairment of an investment. The prior-year nine month charges were due to severance related to organizational and cost structure initiatives.

The increase in interest expense for the quarter and nine months was primarily due to higher average debt balances, partially offset by lower effective interest rates.
The increase in interest and investment income for the nine months was driven by lower write-downs of investments.

Effective Income Tax Rate |
32.8 | % | 33.7 | % | 0.9 ppt | 33.1 | % | 34.7 | % | 1.6 ppt |
The effective income tax rate for the quarter decreased to 32.8% from 33.7% primarily due to an increase in earnings from foreign operations subject to tax at rates lower than the federal statutory income tax rate.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months decreased to 33.1% from 34.7% due to the absence of the impact in the prior-year of the gain on the sale of Miramax and an increase in earnings from foreign operations subject to tax at rates lower than the federal statutory income tax rate. Our book value of Miramax included non-deductible goodwill such that the taxable gain on the sale of Miramax resulted in tax expense that exceeded the book gain causing an increase in the prior-year effective tax rate. These decreases from the impacts of the Miramax gain and foreign earnings were partially offset by an increase due to the absence of a benefit in the prior-year period related to an impairment charge. The prior-year non-recurring impairment charge related to assets that had tax basis in excess of the book value resulting in a tax benefit that exceeded the pre-tax impairment charge causing a decrease in the prior-year effective tax rate.
