2009 Highlights 2009 Highlights

Pay TV market has been growing at higher rates than last year but in the low entry

level packages. Many operators have created new offers to target customers with a lower socioeconomic status (SES). Satellite platforms facing difficulties competing against bundled offers by cable

  • perators and telecommunication companies.

Telecommunication Companies’ new operations:

Oi Brazil Telmex/America Movil Peru Dominican Republic Central America Flow – Trinidad and Grenada Wireless Communication– St. Marten

  • FOX platform considerably stronger competitor as now can offer Premium and basic channels,

with distribution of CineCanal (premium and basic), MovieCity, City buy, City star, City max and City family.

  • Brazil:
  • Lower subscribers than expected in Brazil mainly due to:

Net Servicios finalizing the digitalization process. No effort oriented to HBO growth due to the proximity of the end of buy through (EOB). Telefonica CAPEX constraint and lack of focus in TV due to the low margin in this segment. Several migration processes to a buy through offer: TV Filme acquired by SKY; Vivax and Big TV acquired by Net. More competition due to Telecine increasing an already aggressive marketing investment due to the end of the buy through. Several

affiliates may choose to launch Telecine affecting our penetration and growth.

  • Mexico:
  • Successful launch of Dish Networks
  • Megacable digitalization process resulted in an increase in premium subscribers.
  • Greater increase in revenues than in subscribers mainly due to:
  • Brazil and Venezuela F/X:
  • One time events:

Budget 2010 Budget 2010

Financial impact of global crisis has not affected Latin American region as hard as

  • expected. There has been general economic growth.

For budget purposes, some fluctuations are being considered. Brazil, Chile and Colombia are being profiled as the most robust economies. Mexico and Argentina continue to be very volatile. Venezuela – Economic instability due to uncertainty in governmental decisions.

  • Budget incorporates Cinemax in basic
  • Channel has three different types of distribution considered in budget.

Cinemax Basic already distributed in Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina with no impact on

revenues.

MAX transitions to premium distribution and the Cinemax in basic enters the market with a new rate

in regions such as Chile and Peru.

New distribution for Cinemax in basic in affiliates such as Oi Brazil, Embratel (Telmex Brazil) and

DTV Pan American and DISH.

  • Brazil:
  • End of buy through in November of 2009 opens a significant opportunity in the mid and long term, although

there are some current issues that are being considered:

Rate erosion for SKY and NET although budget includes a significant amount of new subscribers. Penetration can be affected by the distribution of Telecine in platforms where HBO is already

distributed (such as TVA).

  • TVA/Telefonica is considered as one platform.
  • Launch with Embratel (Telmex DTH platform).
  • Full year impact of launching Oi Brazil: $2.2M and 42K HBO YE subscribers.

  • Mexico:
  • Televisa continues to consolidate the market by acquiring more operations and increasing its control of the market. May acquire

Megacable in 2010 giving them control of about 60% of the revenues in the market.

Aggressive growth from Cablevision and Megacable: Full Year impact of DISH: $4.3M

  • Pan American:
  • Argentina:

Launched Red Intercable New telecommunications law has been approved. Argentine government is in the process of drafting the final regulation.

Revenue impact remains unclear until said regulation is completed.

Futbol and Cinecanal have moved to basic distribution jeopardizing the growth of premium business.

  • Venezuela:

Political environment affecting cable operators. Cable operators are unable to get households (set top boxes) due to the restrictions on U.S. Dollars. Government has imposed limitations on promotions offered by cable operators.

  • Central America:

Strategic alliance with Claro TV with the objective of combating the under reporting of subscribers and pirating and move

toward total digital distribution and a cleaner subscriber base.

  • Due to said alliance, some affiliates are not considered in budget since no agreement has been reached (have not

wanted to accept the subscriber increase).

  • Chile/Peru:

Key affiliates have advanced digitalization network creating the base to initiate the transition of HBO/MAX from basic to

premium.

  • Pan Regional:
  • HD and SVOD business materialized in 2009 and is projected to continue growing throughout 2010 by using it as a tool to adjust

rates and/or enhance package offerings.
