During 1Q21 and 1Q20, total U.S. television persons included an average of approximately 308 million and 307 million persons, respectively. Television viewership is measured on a Live+SD basis for 1Q21 and 1Q20 ▪ Top 25 Cable Networks reflect those 25 networks with the highest total primetime Average Viewers P2+ (duration-weighted) in 1Q20 (excludes broadcast and premium networks). ▪ Top 4 Broadcast Networks include ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC. Note that total primetime Average Viewers P2+ (duration-weighted) are defined as Monday-Saturday 8-11pm, Sunday 7-11pm for ABC, CBS and NBC, and Monday-Saturday 8-10pm, Sunday 7-10pm for FOX. ▪ Media Consumption – AVOD is defined as ad-supported video on demand. Consumption includes videos viewed on third-party (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitch, Twitter, YouTube) and WWE platforms (WWE.com and WWE App). 2018-2019 figures include Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, YouTube and WWE platforms. Beginning 4Q19, data includes TikTok. Beginning 1Q20, data includes Twitch and Snapchat Discovery. Beginning 2Q20, figures include consumption on the Free Version of WWE Network. Due to potential data re- statements by YouTube, rounding differences may occur. Third-party consumption figures, including Facebook and YouTube, are based on Google Analytics and WWE platform consumption figures are based on internal data. ▪ Social media followers represent the number of followers for each individual platform - Facebook, Twitter, etc.- as sourced from each platform; as such, total followers shown have not been adjusted for duplication among or within platforms and do not represent the number of “unique” followers. 7.
