Management currently expects to announce its plans for U.S. distribution between May – September 2018, for the U.K. by year-end 2018, and for India in the first half of 2019 STAMFORD, Conn., October 26, 2017 - WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017. For the quarter, the Company reported Net income of $21.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, as compared to Net Income of $11.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.4 Operating income increased to $33.9 million from $18.3 million. Adjusted OIBDA1 increased to $40.4 million from $24.5 million. “We are pleased with our continued success in growing and engaging a large, global audience across multiple platforms. The increased production of original content, our focus on localization and the further development of a diverse talent base contributed to that important achievement, reinforcing the significant scale and power of our brands,” stated Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. George Barrios, WWE Chief Strategy & Financial Officer, added “We achieved a 14% increase in revenue from the monetization of video content and generated results that exceeded the range of our guidance. As we continue to drive WWE’s digital and direct-to-consumer transformation, we have increased our 2017 guidance, which calls for record revenue, record Adjusted OIBDA results, and record subscriber levels.” Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Business Outlook For the fourth quarter 2017, the Company projects average paid subscribers to WWE Network of 1.47 million (+/- 2%). The Company also estimates fourth quarter 2017 Adjusted OIBDA of approximately $31 million to $35 million.3, 5 This range represents an expected year-over-year increase from $20.5 million in the fourth quarter 2016 primarily due to the contractual escalation of television rights fees and the continued growth of WWE Network subscribers as well as more favorable year-over-year comparisons in the Company’s fixed cost base. For the full year 2017, the Company projects average paid subscribers to WWE Network of approximately 1.53 million representing year-over-year growth of 8% and record Adjusted OIBDA of $108 million to $112 million.2, 3, 5 2018 Perspective In 2018, management expects the Company to achieve another year of record revenue and has targeted Adjusted OIBDA of at least $115 million,3, 5 which would represent another all-time record. As management continues to believe there is a significant long-term growth opportunity for WWE, the 2018 approach balances earnings growth with investment in strategic areas. Providing perspective on the Company’s targeted results, Mr. Barrios commented, “We remain focused on delivering a wide range of content across platforms that will strengthen our engagement with a broad audience of ardent fans. We believe these efforts will enable us to achieve record results in the coming year and to maximize the value of our long-form content.” Long-term Growth: Key Content Distribution Agreements The monetization of WWE content is a fundamental element of the Company’s business model. Certain distribution agreements that represent a significant share of the Company’s television rights revenue will expire in 2019. These agreements include the licensing of its premier programs, Raw and SmackDown, in the U.S., which will expire on September 30, 2019, as well as in the U.K. and India, which will expire on December 31, 2019. Management currently expects to announce its plan for future distribution in the U.S. sometime between May 2018 and September 2018, for future distribution in the U.K. by year-end 2018, and for future distribution in India in the first half of 2019. Future distribution is subject to negotiations, which are expected to begin next year. Although these announcements could occur either before or after these dates, management believes that these ranges represent the most likely periods for such communication. Comparability of Results For the three months ended September 30, 2017, there were no material items that impacted the comparability of results on year-over-year basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Operating income included $5.6 million in expenses primarily related to certain legal matters and other contractual obligations, and $3.2 million in film impairment charges that were characterized as material in previous quarters. As these material items impact the comparability of results on a year-over-year basis, they have been excluded from the Company’s 2017 Adjusted OIBDA. For the comparable periods of 2016, there were no such items. A reconciliation of 2017 Adjusted OIBDA to Operating income (GAAP) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 can be found in the supplemental schedules on pages 14-17 of this release. 2 Performance of Segments The schedules below reflect WWE’s performance by line of business (in millions):1 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Net Revenues: 2017 2016 2017 2016 Media Division Network $ 50.3 $ 45.1 $ 151.7 $ 137.2 Television 64.7 56.3 194.9 173.1 Home Entertainment 2.3 2.5 7.7 8.9 Digital Media 7.9 6.5 21.7 18.4 Live Events 31.6 28.6 116.5 105.8 Consumer Products Division Licensing 11.3 9.0 40.8 39.0 Venue Merchandise 5.5 5.1 19.4 19.3 WWEShop 7.2 7.5 23.5 21.8 WWE Studios 4.2 2.5 9.0 7.7 Corporate & Other 1.4 1.1 4.2 3.1 Total Net Revenues $ 186.4 $ 164.2 $ 589.4 $ 534.3 Operating Income: Media Division Network $ 24.3 $ 15.7 $ 38.2 $ 23.2 Television 35.3 31.2 95.4 84.2 Home Entertainment 0.6 0.9 2.3 3.4 Digital Media 3.3 2.6 4.2 2.4 Live Events 7.2 6.1 36.9 35.6 Consumer Products Division Licensing 6.7 4.6 24.6 22.8 Venue Merchandise 2.2 2.0 7.3 7.7 WWEShop 1.5 1.3 5.5 4.3 WWE Studios (0.3) 0.9 (3.9) 0.9 Corporate & Other (46.9) (47.0) (161.9) (142.7) Total Operating Income $ 33.9 $ 18.3 $ 48.6 $ 41.8 Adjusted OIBDA: Media Division Network $ 25.9 $ 17.4 $ 43.2 $ 27.5 Television 36.5 32.4 99.1 87.9 Home Entertainment 0.7 0.9 2.4 3.4 Digital Media 3.3 2.6 4.3 2.7 Live Events 7.2 6.1 36.9 35.6 Consumer Products Division Licensing 6.7 4.6 24.6 22.8 Venue Merchandise 2.2 2.0 7.3 7.7 WWEShop 1.5 1.3 5.5 4.3 WWE Studios (0.3) 0.9 (0.7) 0.9 Corporate & Other (43.3) (43.7) (145.5) (133.2) Total Adjusted OIBDA $ 40.4 $ 24.5 $ 77.1 $ 59.6 3 The following table reflects net revenues by region (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net Revenues by Region: North America $ 140.7 $ 118.5 $ 446.3 $ 398.3 Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) 24.6 24.7 87.8 88.5 Asia Pacific (APAC) 18.8 18.5 47.3 41.3 Latin America 2.3 2.5 8.0 6.2 Total Net Revenues $ 186.4 $ 164.2 $ 589.4 $ 534.3 Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 - Results by Region & Business Segment Revenues increased 14% to $186.4 million from the prior year quarter with growth from across the Company’s business segments driven by the monetization of the Company’s video content.

  • Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer
    Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience. —Donald J. Trump (2004; in Remnick 2017:19) I don’t care if it’s real or not. Kill him! Kill him! 2 He’s currently President of the USA, but a scant 10 years ago, Donald Trump stepped into the squared circle, facing off against WWE owner and quintessential heel Mr. McMahon3 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” (WrestleMania XXIII). The stakes were high. The loser would have his head shaved by the winner. (Spoiler alert: Trump won.) Both Trump and McMahon kept their suits on—oversized, with exceptionally long ties—in a way that made their heads appear to hover, disproportionately small, over their bulky (Trump) and bulked up (McMahon) bodies. As avatars of capitalist, patriarchal power, they left the heavy lifting to the gleamingly exposed, hypermasculinist bodies of their pro-wrestler surrogates. McMahon performed an expert heel turn: a craven villain, egging the audience to taunt him as a clueless, elitist frontman as he did the job of casting Trump as an (unlikely) babyface, the crowd’s champion. For his part, Trump seemed more mark than smart. Where McMahon and the other wrestlers were working around him, like ham actors in an outsized play, Trump was shooting the match: that is, not so much acting naturally as neglecting to act at all. He soaked up the cheers, stalked the ring, took a fall, threw a sucker punch, and claimed victory as if he (and he alone) had fought the good fight (WWE 2013b).
