BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported record quarterly earnings of $2.5 billion for its third fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2015 compared to $2.2 billion for the prior-year quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter increased 13% to $1.45 from $1.28 in the prior-year quarter. EPS for the nine months ended June 27, 2015 increased 16% to $3.95 from $3.40 in the prior-year period. Excluding certain items affecting comparability(1), EPS for the nine months increased 15%.
"We’re very pleased with our performance in the third quarter, with record net income and diluted earnings per share of $1.45, up 13% from the prior year,” said Robert A.

Cable Networks
Operating income at Cable Networks increased 7% to $2.1 billion for the quarter due to growth at the domestic Disney Channels, ABC Family and ESPN.
The increases at the domestic Disney Channels and ABC Family were due to higher program sales and increased affiliate revenue, driven by contractual rate increases. Program sales growth reflected increased subscription video on demand (SVOD) distribution revenues in the current quarter.
Operating results at ESPN were driven by growth in affiliate revenue, partially offset by lower advertising revenue. The increase in affiliate revenues was due to contractual rate increases and an increase in subscribers. The increase in subscribers was due to the new SEC Network launched in August 2014, partially offset by a decline in subscribers at certain of our networks. The impact of contractual rates and subscribers on affiliate revenue was partially offset by a decrease due to the recognition of $176 million of previously deferred revenue in the prior-year quarter related to annual programming commitments. As a result of changes in contractual provisions, ESPN did not recognize any deferred revenue in the current quarter. Lower advertising revenues reflected lower ratings and rates, partially offset by more units sold driven by NBA playoff games. Lower rates reflected the benefit of World Cup soccer in the prior-year quarter. ESPN programming and production costs were relatively flat in the quarter as the addition of the SEC Network and higher rights costs for NBA programming were essentially offset by the absence of rights costs for NASCAR and World Cup soccer.
Broadcasting
Operating income at Broadcasting decreased 15% to $300 million for the quarter driven by higher programming costs, lower advertising revenue and higher labor related costs, partially offset by growth in affiliate fees and higher program sales revenue from SVOD distribution. Higher programming costs were driven by increases in the average cost of primetime programming and pilot costs in the current quarter. Lower advertising revenues reflected decreased news and daytime ratings, partially offset by higher rates. Affiliate fee growth was due to new contractual provisions and contractual rate increases.
Parks and Resorts
Parks and Resorts revenues for the quarter increased 4% to $4.1 billion and segment operating income increased 9% to $922 million. Operating income growth for the quarter was due to an increase at our domestic operations, partially offset by a decrease at our international operations.
Higher operating income at our domestic operations was primarily due to volume and guest spending growth, partially offset by higher costs. The increase in volumes was due to attendance growth at our theme parks and higher occupied room nights at Walt Disney World Resort and our Aulani resort in Hawaii. Guest spending growth was due to higher food, beverage, and merchandise spending, increases in average ticket prices at our cruise line and Disneyland Resort and higher average hotel room rates. Cost increases were due to labor and other cost inflation, costs for the 60th Anniversary celebration at Disneyland Resort and higher pension and postretirement medical costs, partially offset by lower marketing costs at Walt Disney World Resort.
Lower operating income at our international operations was due to lower attendance and occupied room nights at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, higher operating costs at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, and higher pre-opening expenses at Shanghai Disney Resort. These decreases were partially offset by higher average ticket prices, increased food, beverage and merchandise spending and higher volumes at Disneyland Paris.
Studio Entertainment
Studio Entertainment revenues for the quarter increased 13% to $2.0 billion and segment operating income increased 15% to $472 million. Higher operating income was due to an increase in theatrical distribution, growth at international television distribution and a higher revenue share with the Consumer Products segment. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in home entertainment and higher film cost impairments.
The increase in theatrical distribution reflected the strong performance of Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron in the current quarter compared to Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier in the prior-year quarter. Theatrical results in the current quarter also benefited from the continuing performance of Cinderella, which was released in the second quarter of the current year. These increases were partially offset by the strong international performance of Frozen in the prior-year quarter and the results of Tomorrowland in the current quarter. The growth in international television distribution included sales of Star Wars titles, while the increased Consumer Products revenue share was primarily due to the performance of Frozen merchandise. The decrease at home entertainment reflected lower unit sales due to the performance of Frozen in the prior-year quarter compared to Big Hero 6 in the current quarter.
Consumer Products
Consumer Products revenues for the quarter increased 6% to $954 million and segment operating income increased 27% to $348 million. Higher operating income was due to an increase in merchandise licensing revenues and lower third-party royalty expense. Merchandise Licensing revenue growth reflected the performance of merchandise based on Frozen, The Avengers and Star Wars, partially offset by lower revenues from Spider-Man merchandise.
Interactive
Interactive revenues for the quarter decreased by $58 million to $208 million and segment operating income decreased by $29 million to break-even.
Lower operating income was primarily due to lower results from Disney Infinity and decreased sales of console game catalog titles, partially offset by the continued success of Tsum Tsum. The decrease from Disney Infinity was due to decreased unit sales and lower average net effective pricing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release presents EPS excluding the impact of certain items affecting comparability, free cash flow and aggregate segment operating income, all of which are important financial measures for the Company, but are not financial measures defined by GAAP.
These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of EPS, cash flow or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. EPS excluding certain items affecting comparability, free cash flow and aggregate segment operating income as we have calculated them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
EPS excluding certain items affecting comparability – The Company uses EPS excluding certain items to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items affecting comparability of results from period to period. The Company believes that information about EPS exclusive of these impacts is useful to investors, particularly where the impact of the excluded items is significant in relation to reported earnings, because the measure allows for comparability between periods of the operating performance of the Company’s business and allows investors to evaluate the impact of these items separately from the impact of the operations of the business.
The following table reconciles reported EPS to EPS excluding certain items affecting comparability:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1) | Charges for the prior-year nine-month period totaled $67 million (pre-tax), primarily for severance costs. |
| |
(2) | Significant items in the prior-year nine-month period include a loss from Venezuelan foreign currency translation ($143 million pre-tax and before noncontrolling interest), a gain on the sale of property ($77 million pre-tax) and income related to a portion of a settlement of an affiliate contract dispute ($29 million pre-tax). |
| |
(3) | May not equal the sum of the rows due to rounding. |
Free cash flow – The Company uses free cash flow (cash provided by operations less investments in parks, resorts and other property), among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than capital expenditures. Management believes that information about free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments and pay dividends or repurchase shares.
Aggregate segment operating income – The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment operating income, and management uses aggregate segment operating income as a measure of the performance of operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. The Company believes that information about aggregate segment operating income assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing separate insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results.
