Public broadcast organisations must adopt novel strategies to survive and compete in this new environment, where they need to combine public service with popularity. In this context, scheduling has emerged as the central management tool, organising production and controlling budgets, and is now the driving force in television.

As always, our thousands of cast members and employees around the world continued to go beyond the expected to achieve the extraordinary for our consumers, our guests, and our shareholders. And I can think of no better way to start this letter highlighting our success than by expressing my profound and continued appreciation for the people who made it possible. With such immense talent and dedication going for us, there really is no limit to what we can achieve. In the last several years we’ve effectively integrated the major acquisitions of Pixar and Marvel and are well on the way to doing the same with Lucasfilm, creating an unprecedented and unparalleled collection of the world’s greatest brands and creative content, along with tremendous growth potential for the foreseeable future. We’ve also made a number of strategic investments to position the company to create even greater value and leveraged the strength of our entire portfolio of businesses to grow our presence around the world. In the process, The Walt Disney Company has been recognized as one of the world’s most reputable, admired and socially responsible companies by the likes of Forbes, Fortune, and Barron’s – applauded for our overall performance as well as the integrity with which we operate.

  • Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report and Shareholder Letter
    Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter January 2012 Dear Shareholders, Fiscal 2011 was a year of great accomplishment for The Walt Disney Company, marked by creativity and innovation across our businesses globally, record financial results and numerous important steps to position the Company for the future. While 2011 brought us so much to cheer about, it was also marked by profound loss, with the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve’s incredible stewardship of Pixar, and his decision to sell Pixar to Disney in 2006, brought Steve into the Disney family, as a board member, a shareholder, a mentor, and a friend, and we were so lucky for all that he represented and all that he contributed. Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, and Marvel are an amazing collection of brands that grow stronger every day as new platforms and new markets provide enormous new opportunities for high quality content and experiences. To that end, we are fortunate to have a talented group of employees who are committed day in and day out to building our brands around the world. Since becoming President and CEO in 2005, I have focused on three strategic priorities: creating high-quality family content, making experiences more memorable and accessible through innovative technology, and growing internationally. In fiscal 2011, net income attributable to Disney was a record $4.8 billion, an increase of 21% over last year, and revenue was a record $40.9 billion, up 7% from last year. Diluted earnings per share increased by 24% to a record $2.52. I’m particularly gratified by our outstanding performance in fiscal 2011, given the challenging global economic environment.
