  • Then Now Forever
    THEN NOW FOREVER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS he first few months of 2014 have been T characterized by some remarkable achievements for WWE. We launched WWE Network and announced the renewal of key television agreements in the U.K. and Thailand. These business developments represent historic milestones in our effort to realize greater value from our content and to transform our business. As we prepare for the 30th anniversary of our premiere event, WrestleMania, we look forward to celebrating our enduring legacy and ushering in a new era as we blaze new trails in the media industry. During the past year, as we prepared to transform our business, we invested in content production and talent, produced new programming and entered partnerships that enhanced our brand strength. Our 2013 OIBDA results were consistent with management expectations and guidance. We continue to believe that the creation of WWE Network and the renegotiation of key global content agreements will enable us to double or triple our 2012 OIBDA of $63 million by 2015. In 2013, our potential was echoed in the equity markets, where our stock price more than doubled. WWE’s total shareholder return of WrestleMania 29 broke the record for MetLife 116% (including a $36 million dividend payout) Stadium’s highest-grossing entertainment event. exceeded the majority of our entertainment peers and key market benchmarks, such as the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000. BLAZING NEW TRAILS: WWE NETWORK Creating new programs and distributing all of our content in ways that optimize value is our most important strategic imperative. In January 2014, we announced the launch of WWE Network, the first-ever 24/7 streaming network, which represents a key pillar of our plan to drive significant earnings growth.

  • REPORT of INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM to the Board of Directors and Stockholders of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc
    TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS few years ago, we began executing a bold strategy to transform WWE’s business and provide a foundation for significant long-term growth. Our financial and operational performance in 2015 proves that this strategy is not only working; it is delivering impressive results. We achieved record revenue of $659 million, an increase of 21%, reflecting record contributions from our key businesses: WWE Network, Television, Live Events, and Consumer Products. Our focus on global growth is also paying off – international revenue hit an all-time high, increasing 46% to $170 million, or 26% of overall sales. WWE’s strong, top-line growth translated into significantly improved bottom-line performance, with our Adjusted OIBDA increasing to $69 million, representing a 10% Adjusted operating margin. WWE’s total shareholder return of 48% (including $36 million dividend payout) outpaced the majority of our entertainment peers and key market benchmarks, such as the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000. Recognizing WWE’s industry leadership, earnings growth, and the long-term potential of our global business, WWE was added to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. We are proud that we accomplished what we set out to do – increasing the monetization of our content by leveraging our position as a global media enterprise uniquely engaged with our fans across traditional television, direct-to- consumer (WWE Network), and digital and social platforms. We enter 2016 with significant opportunities ahead and strong operating momentum. global brand strength: record engagement across platforms The consumption of WWE content reached unprecedented levels across television, direct-to- consumer (WWE Network), and digital and social platforms, which serve as the pillars of our future growth.

    2014 was a unique year for pro-wrestling, one that will undoubtedly be viewed as historically significant in years to follow. Whether it is to be reflected upon positively or negatively is not only highly subjective, but also context-specific with major occurrences transpiring across the pro-wrestling world over the last 12 months, each with its own strong, and at times far reaching, consequences. The WWE launched its much awaited Network, New Japan continued to expand, CMLL booked lucha's biggest match in well over a decade, culminating in the country's first million dollar gate, TNA teetered more precariously on the brink of death than perhaps ever before, Daniel Bryan won the WWE's top prize, Dragon Gate and DDT saw continued success before their loyal niche audiences, Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk departed the WWE with one ending up in the most unexpected of places, a developing and divergent style produced some of the best indie matches of the year, the European scene flourished, the Shield disbanded, Batista returned, Daniel Bryan relinquished his championship, and the Undertaker's streak came to an unexpected and dramatic end. These are but some of the happenings, which made 2014 the year that it was, and it is in this year-book that we look to not only recap all of these events and more, but also contemplate their relevance to the greater pro-wrestling landscape, both for 2015 and beyond. It should be stated that this year-book was inspired by the DKP Annuals that were released in 2011 and 2012, in fact, it was the absence of a 2013 annual that inspired us to produce a year-book for 2014.

  • WWE® Reports 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: Investors: Michael Weitz 203-352-8642 Media: Tara Carraro 203-352-8625 WWE® Reports 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results STAMFORD, Conn., February 20, 2014 - WWE (NYSE:WWE) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013. Revenues totaled $118.4 million as compared to $115.1 million in the prior year quarter. Operating loss was $12.2 million as compared to income of $2.6 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss was $7.9 million, or $0.10 per share, as compared to income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share, in the prior year quarter. OIBDA in the fourth quarter 2013 decreased to a $5.6 million loss from income of $8.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decline in OIBDA and Operating income was primarily attributable to increased investment in staffing, talent and marketing to support our strategic content initiatives, including the launch of WWE Network. Lower sales of new DVD releases and a corresponding shift in product mix to lower priced catalog titles, as well as compressed television production margins that derived from changes in the mix of programming also contributed to the year-over-year decline. “During the past year, we laid the foundation for future growth and enhanced our brand strength,” stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have now announced the renewal of our television distribution agreement in the U.K., are continuing the negotiations regarding our domestic content, and are poised to launch our global WWE Network in the next few days.
