Recent Developments: | Our NBCUniversal segments reported a 34.3% increase in total operating income before depreciation and amortization (operating cash flow) for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the pro forma combined results for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As previously disclosed, we currently expect NBCUniversals operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to be flat to slightly down from the prior year six month pro forma combined results. The prior years second quarter included favorable results from two movies, Fast Five and Bridesmaids, and a large content licensing deal, whereas NBCUniversals current quarter will reflect negative results from Battleship and 5-Year Engagement, and a somewhat lower contribution from cable networks, as NBCUniversal continues to invest in original and sports content. |
