Operating Income by Region

Projected FYE15 Operating Income of $336 million is diversified throughout the world, with MSM in India and GSN in North America continuing to lead the Networks portfolio

• Revenue and Operating Income are budgeted for double digit year-over-year growth

− Revenue is expected to grow from $588 million to $695 million (+18%) driven mainly by recovery in domestic Indian ad sales performance and ongoing digitization efforts − Operating Income is expected to grow from $122 million to $151 million (+24%) (excluding new channel launches) driven primarily by improved performance of SET

• In spite of FX and economic headwinds, MSM expects to continue its strong growth

trajectory in FYE15 and increase its offerings in India

− TV On, a new Hindi GE channel targeting a female-centric, more rural audience, is expected to

launch in June 2014

− MAX 2, a library Hindi movie channel is expected to launch in April 2014; this will help MSM

mitigate recent legislation limiting ad minutes per broadcast hour

• Indian Premier League (IPL) Cricket

− Season 7 projected Operating Income of $31.5 million is 4% lower than Season 6 due to

unfavorable FX, one less team and 16 fewer matches than Season 6; however, the operating margin remains strong at 22%

Financial Summary

14

($ In millions)

Note: FYE12 and FYE13 exclude gains from the Shine monetization of $26 million and $12 million, respectively

• Strong organic growth from

Production across UK and Europe

• Distribution of formats including Who

Wants to Be a Millionaire & Everyone Loves Raymond remain significant profit contributors

• LATAM performance underpinned by

expansion into Mexico and new production deals with Televisa in Mexico and RCN in Colombia

• Continued investment in companies

and individuals with track record of creating IP that will travel

• Excluding purchase price

amortization, FYE15 operating income is $32 million

• Formats

− Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (“WWTBAM”) continues to deliver healthy profits world-wide; however, it is off the air in major European territories: UK, Italy, Spain and Holland − There is a push to become less reliant on profits from high-margin WWTBAM (90%), while generating earnings from newly developed/acquired IP which generate lower margins in their infancy stage

• Europe

−

Projected Operating Income decline of 3% year-over-year is primarily due to significant profits recognized in FYE14

• n the re-licensing of sitcom remakes in Russia (“Everybody Loves Raymond” & “Happy Together”) not projected at

the same levels in FYE15

−

Europe’s organic businesses are projected to show healthy year-over-year growth as the economic environment is expected to improve

• Middle East

−

Operating Income is expected to grow as FYE14 productions are expected to deliver in FYE15

−

Middle East provides great opportunity for growth, despite political volatility and a scarcity of experienced local TV personnel

• Latin America

−

Revenue is projected to increase year-over-year by $28 million (54%) driven by the result of the recently closed volume deal with Mexican broadcaster Televisa

−

Operating Income remains flat as the deal shares profits with Televisa (which facilitates SPT’s production in Mexico), allows access to Televisa’s talent, and assures minimum commitments in Mexico and US Hispanic market
