THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS EARNINGS FOR FISCAL 2018

BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported quarterly earnings for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter increased 30% to $1.95 from $1.50 in the prior-year quarter. Excluding certain items affecting comparability⁽¹⁾, EPS for the quarter increased 23% to $1.84 from $1.50 in the prior-year quarter. EPS for the six months ended March 31, 2018 increased to $4.86 from $3.05 in the prior-year period. Excluding certain items affecting comparability⁽¹⁾, EPS for the six months increased 22% to $3.73 from $3.05 in the prior-year period.

“Driven by strong results in our parks and resorts and studio businesses, our Q2 performance reflects our continued ability to drive significant shareholder value,” said Robert A. Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. “Our ability to create extraordinary content like Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War and leverage it across all business units, the unique value proposition we’re creating for consumers with our DTC platforms, and our recent reorganization strengthen our confidence that we are very well positioned for future growth.”

The following table summarizes the second quarter and six-month results for fiscal 2018 and 2017 (in millions, except per share amounts):

⁽¹⁾

EPS excluding certain items affecting comparability, segment operating income and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See the discussion on pages 7 through 9. The most significant item affecting comparability for the current quarter and six-month period was a net benefit from new U.S. federal income tax legislation (Tax Act) resulting from remeasuring our deferred tax balances to a new lower U.S. statutory rate, partially offset by the accrual of a Deemed Repatriation Tax (see page 5 for further discussion).


⁽²⁾	Reflects amounts attributable to shareholders of The Walt Disney Company, i.e. after deduction of noncontrolling interests.
