group39s acquisition of Credera Credera overlays management consulting and digital transformation on top of existing CRM and digital offerings In a little more than a year Credera has helped us forge stronger relationships and partnerships with many of our multinational clientsquotPer Forrester regarding Omnicom39s data platform Omni 39quotWhen comparing data and technology platforms across the various holding companies the report states that the Omni platform offers the most creative integration of agency platforms It cannot be achieved simply by buying legacy data platforms that weren39t built with the flexibility required to meet the rapidly changing demands of today39s marketers39quotTo date we have scaled Omni by training over 4000 employees worldwide As Forrester eloquently stated in its report it39s a combination of humans and machines that will give CMOs the datadriven execution they desire and agencies the new capabilities they need to remain relevantquotIn the third quarter we deepened and expanded our existing engagements with some of the largest clients including AstraZeneca Novartis Wells Fargo and Unilever We also won several new client engagements from world class marketers during the quarter Kroger the largest grocer in the United States and the secondlargest retailer behind WalMart named DDB New York as its first ever creative agency of record OMD won the global Boehringer Ingelheim animal health account and Allianz named a number of Omnicom agencies for an integrated offering which will include creative media branding and PR quot John Wren CEO OmnicomWhen asked about how advertisers are feeling about the economy and general business tonequotI39d suggest that it39s business as usual There are always macro concerns and they change from quarter to quarter or period to period but there39s always something out there Our folks are focused on our clients39 needs and we don39t see any significant change for themquotI think the US economy is strong I think when we look at our core businesses the ones that we anticipate growth from amp8212 they grew very well amp8212 midsingle digitsWhen asked if they39ve noticed the slowing of media as Publicis stated in their Q3 2019 reportquotI haven39t read the Publicis transcript but our media business continues to perform very well as reflected in our numbers It39s a very vibrant business and we continue to win our fair share amp8212 more than our fair share of accounts In regard to the fourth quarter I think I39ll say something very similar to what I39ve said the last 22 or 23 years of fourth quarters and that is there39s always unidentified projects in the fourth quarter They generally in our case start off looking like they39re 200 million around the end of September and I think all but one of those years with the impact of the Great Recession we39ve been able to fill those gaps through projects and budget releases from clients who might have been holding back as of September 30 So we39re cautiously optimistic as usual and our people are focused on gleaning that revenueWhen asked about inhousing the seeming trend of many marketers taking some or all of their media buying internallyquotI mean technology changes what comes inhouse and what stays out at an agency Oftentimes somebody was doing something with us and they decide to inhouse We follow them inhouse to help them set up and grow and that just enhances the relationship But I think that the most dramatic changes that we39ve noticed on inhousing really has been in the CPG area Others do it but they do it for a while amp8230 and then decide that they can39t do it and come back to usamp8230quot John Wren CEO OmnicomBack to Agency IndexBack to Media IndexWPPSummary Much of the discussion on the call centers

Wolfram AlphaTop Quote quotWe set out a threeyear plan on December 11th last year to return WPP to sustainable growth I think there are two key objectives in that amp8212 one or two key metrics One was organic growth and the second was leverage and I think you can see in this set of numbers and yesterday39s approval of the Kantar transaction good progress on both And so we really remain on track to deliver our threeyear plan We set out a new vision and offer for the company really the vision to be a creative transformation company and a broader offer covering communications experience commerce and technology a broader offer We will be better positioned to the faster growing parts of our market and what a modern marketing business needs to grow and succeed in today39s environment And I think you can see in the wins in our business the improved retention of clients such as Centrica or the US Marine Corps that are having some success and an increasingly integrated proposition is working with clientsquot amp8211 Mark Read CEOQuotes quotI think pleasingly amp8230 we have to look at it in the context of it being one quarter the improvement was broadbased both geographically and functionally and we saw a continuing improvement in the US business from minus 59 percent to minus 35 percent in the third quarterquotOverall I would point out wins that took place during the quarter amp8212 the creative win at Mondelez the media win at eBay the retention by Wunderman Thompson of its business with the US Marine Corps and the win or extension of our business with Centrica amp8212 that we had much of the business in the UK but not outside the UK It was a hotly contested account during the quarterquotThe second task was really to have a much simpler structure for the group Importantly to eliminate this artificial distinction between analog and digital or creative and digital and to integrate our activities to make it much simpler for clients to access the talent that we have inside the business and frankly make it easier for us to manage the group and sort of cut down some of its sprawling nature VMLYampampR I mentioned before grew positively in both the US and globally in the third quarter and Wunderman Thompson has shown improvements as well in its performance both globally and in the US in the course of the year It39s a much larger company to bring together And so I think it will take more time to see the results there But I think the initial impact is positive and certainly we know we continue to believe in both of those cases that it was the right thing to do as was bringing our healthcare businesses together in the core agenciesquotWe are reiterating our guidance for 2019 of minus 15 percent to 2 percent both including and excluding

requirements which is why by the way we support the Business Roundtable position on our federal GDPR I mean it39s not easy to do it on a statebystate basis Each of the states are going to require different things and therefore amp8230 39is a great deal of additional work for our clients as well as us and if we had a federal legislation that covers it it39s an important issue I think it39s pretty clear that it39s here to stay and regulation in this area is importantquot Michael Roth Chairman ampamp CEOIn response to a question regarding growth of addressable advertisingThere is a shift moving from TV to digital We see that in terms of having TV and linear TV pass digital in terms of total spend So all of this is frankly why we bought Acxiom and why we isolated certain aspects of that in Kinesso So the value proposition that we can bring to our clients in terms of addressable is finding the right individuals amp8212 to think of it as looking for individuals not just groups of people and on a cleanse basis So yeah I think it39s happening in the marketplace and we add value when those issues come up So when clients ask about it that39s good for us because if we can be in

dollars there was no capital I mean it was a whole different world I think we39ve taken the position already That39s why we39re able to expand margins like you are seeing amp8212 becausewe match revenue and expense very carefully All of our agencies have very strong disciplines that before they had headcount it has to be associated with revenue Well the fact that we are doing the dispositions

significant cost reduction actions taken in late 2018 and throughout this year in tandem with prudent financial management helped deliver a 6 percent increase in adjusted EBITDA on a yeartodate basis Revenue softness was driven by the clients in media healthcare and one of the global creative agenciesquotWe39re addressing all of the issues as part of the New World plan and are seeing a rebound in

robust win rate is the combination of our capability The fact that we can deliver idealed datadriven and techenabled offerings to clients with the strong data and analytics products we39ve been able to make since our acquisition of Merkle And these are the things that make us more competitive in the pitch environmentquot amp8211 Timothy Andree executive officer ampamp directorQuotes quotThere are no green shoots of recovery in the Chinese and Australian markets both of which continue to severely impact the regional and group performancequotquotIn the international business in order to futureproof our business and serve clients more effectively we have streamlined and consolidated our offering around three lines of business creative media and CRM These lines of business have been designed around client needs and will ensure we are set up to help clients win keep and grow their best customers by being datadriven techenabled and ideasled 2020 is a year of transition and by 2021 we will be operating under these three lines of business and be truly integrated by designquotamp8211amp8230Our entire CRM and data business is really leading our growth If you look at the numbers in the Americas where Merkle as a brand has its highest percentage of business it really accounts for the lion39s share of the growth and momentum we have in the market Merkle cannot really be compared as a business or an offering to Acxiom or Epsilon which are largely just data businesses Merkle has always been even and has continued to be since our acquisition a doubledigit organic growth

really the kind of consistent level in Septemberquot amp8211 Timothy Andree executive officer ampamp directorIn response to a question requesting a split of the DAN revenue across the three units of media creative and CRMquotIn terms of the split of the international business across those three lines of business in round numbers 50 percent in the media line of business 25 percent in creative and 25 percent in CRMquot amp8211 Nick Priday Executive OfficerIn response to a question about the current pitch environmentquotThe current announced pitches amp8230 have been announced by clients totaling about JPY 47 billion in size of media billings And of that about 75 percent of those opportunities are offensive pitches amp8212 opportunities for us with 25 percent being cases where we39re the incumbent Our expectation and it39s only an expectation but based upon our assessment of the market we expect 2020 and 2021 for that pitch pipeline to grow and to be larger than it currently is However also looking at the mix we expect that the defensive pitches may have a slightly higher percentage as we look at 2020 and 2021 based upon our existing contracts amp8230 with clientsquotOf course a large portion of our media business for example still remains to be regular pitching for local multimarket media accounts which really accounts for about 40 percent of our mixquotThe pitch environment pricing does play an element of it but where clients are expecting more than that it is total value for their dollars They39re expecting much more addressability in their capability Data plays a bigger role So in that respect pricing is always a factor There39s always that aggressive competitive nature of that business But in the end the type of business we want to win is not where we39re the lowest bidderquot amp8211 Tim Andree executive officer and directorIn response to a question regarding the impact that Google is making in the overall agency business in addition to consultanciesquotWe don39t see ourselves being directly disintermediated in a large way from Google media It39s true with some smaller clients and D2C clients do go to Google and some of the social media platforms first But in large scale that39s not impacting our business largely because amp8230 the role that we could play that Google can39t it is to manage the entire media and marketing ecosystem and balance out in a strategic way the client39s investment When clients go directly to Google Google39s recommendation is for them to buy more Google And so that has not been a big impact on our business amp8230In many ways we partner in developing products with Google to help benefit our clients And so I don39t see that as a particularly impactful concern of direct disintermediation of media going to Google in our marketsquotquotIn regard to the consultancies you know that we compete daily against the consultants Our Merkle and Isobar brands compete and win regularly against them Our approach is far more about growing the top line and having deep consumer insights in how consumers behave And then those insights can play themselves into full execution Where I think the consultants have largely focused less on execution more on strategy as well as more on bottom line efficiency So I think39 everyone39s evolving They39re formidable competitorsquot Timothy Andree

the earnings call it is growing and they seem happy with performance to dateQ3 Stock Trend Source Wolfram AlphaTop QuotequotYes so let me start with the first question on advertising So other revenue which is principally advertising grew 45 percent this quarter up from 37 percent last quarter and the biggest thing in there is advertising and advertising grew at a rate higher than that 45 percent amp8211 Brian Olsavsky CFOQuotesquotSo it39s still early and what we39re focused on really at this point is relevancy making sure that the ads are relevant to our customers helpful to our customers And to do that we use machine learning and that39s helping us to drive better better and better relevancyquotWe are very happy with the progress in the advertising business and continue to focus on advancing advertising experiences that are helpful for customers helping them to see new products We want to empower our businesses to find attract and engage these customers And it39s increasingly popular with vendors sellers and thirdparty advertisers Brian Olsavsky CFOampgtquotI think specifically on the advertising side and the opportunity with that we are continuing to see some increased adoption One of our areas of focus is expanding our video and OTT offerings for brands It39s still early in this space but we39ve done a few things with IMDb TV live sports things like adding more inventory through Fire TV apps amp8230 adding more OTT video supply through Amazon Publisher Services or APS integrations and streamlining access for thirdparty apps and really just making it easier for advertisers to manage their campaigns and provide better resultsquotI have to start with the fact that we did recently introduced 20 new Fire TV products so that includes amp8230 the first Fire TV Edition sound bar Fire TV Cube Dave Fildes Director of Investor RelationsBack to Media IndexBack to Agency IndexATampampTSummary Pay television subscribers to traditional MVPD DirecTV UVerse fell off a cliff in Q3 2019 with a loss of over 13 million subscribers HBO Max was a large focus and in fact a full investor39s day summary of the WarnerMedia Investor39s Day follows below was dedicated to formally introducing HBO MaxQ3 Stock Trend Source Wolfram AlphaTop Quote quotThird we were convinced that the value of premium content would increase significantly over time as consumer demand continued to grow and new forms of distribution emerged and I think you39ve already seen that with some of the multiples paid for media companies after we did our deal Vertically integrating content and distribution is the future and we39re seeing it across the boardquot Randall Stephenson CEOquotSince 2012 we39ve made a series of strategic investments and those investments have been aligned around two overarching trends First consumers will continue to spend more time viewing premium content and second businesses and consumers will continue to demand more connectivity more bandwidth and more mobility When we began pursuing this strategy we saw an emerging world in which consumption of video and other premium content was no longer bound to your living room And everything we expected has arrived and it has arrived sooner than we or anyone else anticipated And now the foundational elements of our investment thesis are clearer than ever It all starts with advanced highcapacity networksquotOver the last 18 months we39ve been putting all this capacity into service and the performance results have been dramatic ATampampT now has the fastest and most reliable wireless network in the US We39ve also been undertaking the most aggressive fiber deployment program in the US since 2015 with over 20 million locations passed Over the next 3 years our strong spectrum position will allow for lower capital intensity and that bodes well for growing operating marginsquotThe second essential element is direct customer relationships and we have about 170 million of them across mobile pay TV and broadband And that number reaches 370 million when you include our digital properties such as cnncom Bleacher Report and Otter MediaquotGaining scale in linear pay TV was the core rationale behind our DirecTV acquisition We realized the satellite business was mature and we anticipated subscriber losses However the content savings quickly turned our Uverse pay TV business from loss to a profit And since we bought DirecTV it has generated healthy cash flows of over 4 billion per year or a total of 22 billion in cash by the end of this yearResponding to a question if ATampampT has hit peak subscriber loss in TVquotBut as we get into next year then you39ll have the satellite then you39ll have the software platforms And ATampampT TV is the standardized software platform and that will be our primary vehicle for going to market particularly pairing it with our fiber product and our broadband product And then HBO Max becomes the workhorse for our video product as we move into next year And all of the muscle and as you can see and as you articulated the range of investment is going behind HBO Max This is a product that39s going to be very different from anything else that you39ve seen in the market so far This is not Netflix this is not Disney this is HBO Max and it39s going to have a very unique position in the marketplace And I would tell you we feel very comfortable at these investment levels that we can do something very significant in the market and drive some significant subscriber gains This is going to be a meaningful business to us over the next four or five years And we39re talking a 50 million subscriber business And I39m really really enthusiastic about thisquotBut HBO Max becomes the SVOD platform for ATampampT as we move forward into the future And what you should expect is as we get into the future this won39t be day one amp8230Through the platform amp8230 we also deliver live stream TV So you want an SVOD service HBO Max great Over time we look forward to bringing the live element into HBO Max as well And so this thing gets more and more simplified and we ultimately get down to where we have two products the traditional satellite which will be there for a long time and then our streaming product which will be premised on the HBO Max platformquotAnd we have been on a very aggressive plan for deploying fiber And we put in a very short period of time 20 million locations passed with fiber And we are somewhere between 20 percent and 25 percent penetrated in that footprint and in the next couple years are going to be about penetrating It39s really about penetration That doesn39t mean we39re stopping fiber deployment 5G requires us to continue deploying fiber We have business customers who have expectations and we deploy fiber into business locations And what that does is create capillaries that we then expand off of And so you39re going to continue to see the capillary of fiber in this company expand It39s just not going to expand at the pace we39ve been going on It39s been on a torrid pace I would suggest it39s been the most aggressive in the United States Now it39s time to reap the rewards of what we39ve done and let39s go penetrate the marketquotBut the most powerful video bundle we have with our mobile business is HBO in terms of what it does to churn and retention And the reason I think that39s very exciting is now think about HBO Max and taking that product to a different level And it39s going to be something different And now bundling that with our mobile business and the impacts on churn we believe are going to be very very powerful And so we39re very excited about putting wireless with HBO Max HBO Max is a natural bundle with obviously our video business whether it39s DirecTV or ATampampT TV It39s a great bundle with our broadband business particularly the fiber business So we39re really bullish right now on how HBO Max gets leveraged across the footprintquotBack to Media

working with the existing ecosystem and doing a lot of AVOD activity And what that39s going to do we think is cut the investment pretty substantially because I think we39re going to get to cruising

is expected to be again in the lowsingle digit range driven by the typical dynamics in pricing digital monetization the health of the market and of course the impact from ratings which remains the greatest variable impacting US ad revenue growth While ratings of some key networks have been challenged in the third quarter we have doubled the amount of premier content on the Food Network for the

SinclairquotDISH39s consumers are a little bit different So as many of you know in regional sports there39s different zones and people in the cities tend to pay more for regional sports than people in the rural areas but contractually Sinclair wants to go a little different route there And so there was a lot of complications The biggest complication was sic Disney themselves who had contracted the negotiations out but didn39t extend the contract We lost the highest value regional sports customers because the months of August and September are the highest viewed months for regional sports by a long shotquotSo to beat down during that period of time they felt that was negotiating leverage against us And so that39s why they did it In my opinion because we lost our best customers amp8230 we couldn39t pay as much money to put regional sports back up again So because our cost output for those viewers would go up and you39re in a situation amp8230 we39d rather have a deal We like Sinclair We39ve had a longterm relationship with Sinclair We like the company We like the people there We39d rather have regional sports but we39re as a company we39re not going to subsidize We39re not going to subsidize regional sports And so there are economics that may not work for them but there are economics We know what the economics are for us We actually analyze stuffamp160 The other thing is you have to look at the macro environmentAnalyst adds that Disney is taking programming off of Dish and moving it to Disney PlusquotAnd that doesn39t increase their value to us right So obviously that has to be taken into consideration during negotiations Additionally I would imagine that even regional sports even teams themselves will probably stream directly and our customers get HBO a different way today They don39t have to get it from us They can pirate it They can use codesharing They can get it through another distributor or they can get from Amazon Our customers will be able to get regional sports and local channels when that comes up with Sinclair They39re just going to get it a different wayquotBut having said that we like to strike agreements that are good for both companies and you have to make us leave kicking and screaming But HBO did that and refused to negotiate a deal 39that we would not lose a significant amount of money on They had a strategic reason because they wanted to grow subs at DIRECTV And they have Game of Thrones coming up so they had a valid strategic reason for wanting to do that That reason may not be out there anymore but that they certainly did that and Sinclair now unfortunately amp8212 given Disney39s decision not to extend the contract amp8212 is in a situation where 39they39ve got to make decisions But if everybody has regional sports and we don39t and trust me the vast vast vast majority of our customers don39t watch a single second of any regional sports on our network That39s an advantage for us if that39s the strategy we have to go down because we won39t have to increase the prices to our consumers And I know what39s going to happen Sinclair will start running amp8212 I39ve been through this so many times Sinclair will start running adds saying you can39t get this hockey team on DISH and you can get it on our competitors and we39ll run an ad that says you39re paying more from our competitors because we don39t have that hockey team that you don39t watch All right And so it will be more mindless stuff but that39s way things go and we accept that that39s probably the logical thing that happened in this businessquot amp8211 Charlie Ergen CoFounder and Chairman of the BoardResponding to a question about an on again off again rumor of a DishDirecTV mergerpartnershipquotThere is industrial logic for DISH and DIRECTV to be doing some things together There is industrial logic for DISH and ATampampT will be doing things together but when somebody put the guns to your head with HBO and as you will new to carry HBO you39re going to lose money that39s not a door opener for us as a company And this merger with TMobile and Sprint we39re focused on thatquot amp8211 Charlie Ergen cofounder and Chairman of the BoardResponding to a question regarding the impact HBO Max could have on discussions with ATampampTquotHBO Max amp8212 it39s interesting because I don39t know everything they39re going to do with HBO Max but I think it39s going to be a good product I think that it will be tougher for linear distributors because well HBO was requiring at least from us guaranteed contract with a certain number subs and obviously that39s difficult to do when you39re competing against HBO themselves particularly if they dig in with a lot of the programing on HBO Max It certainly will give leverage to distributors and future negotiations And so it39s going to be really interesting to see how content providers navigate because people aren39t going to watch more TV amp8212 I mean are not materially more And there is lots of great programing out there and they39re going to spend about the same amount of money and it39s going to be a lot of miles And the best product in the country today is Netflix and I think you heard Hastings talk a little bit about engagement and that39s the key metric and it39s not just Netflix The fact that they39re kind of a virtualized network as we39ve learned about it they39ve actually got most of their stuff on the cloud so they39re actually more flexible and they deliver content cheaper than anybody can do it So you got to follow them and where it goes I don39t know but I think it can take a couple of years to settle outquot amp8211 Charlie Ergen CoFounder and Chairman of the BoardBack to Media IndexBack to Agency IndexDisneySummary This is the earnings call that preceded the launch of Disney on 1112 Disney launched with over 10 million subscribers although many of those came in via free sevenday trial and free oneyear accounts based on Verizon Unlimited Wireless subscriptions There were also significant tech glitches on the first day which was considered a black eye given Bob Iger39s acquisition of BAMTech was made precisely to avoid those type of tech challenges Nevertheless it39s considered to have surpassed expectations Overall the Disney business is strongQ3 Stock Trend Source Wolfram AlphaTop Quote quotAnd I think what we39re trying to do as a company is not to look at the apps as entities unto themselves but look at the apps as part of a broader production creativity distribution monetization play What I mean by that is if you look at Disney or Disney Plus you obviously have films that are monetized and two windows First one is the theatrical window then what I39ll call the home video window and then they move on to this SVOD platform39 which is also a place monetizing the vast libraryquotThe same thing can be said for the television programing that we39re creating although a lot of it for Disney Plus will be original or exclusive to Disney Plus although there39s nothing to keep us from then putting some of it on maybe a Disney Channel down the road but we39re not looking at any of these the isolated way I talk about Hulu But I also talked about it in the context of ABC of FX and at Freeform interestingly enough if you look at current viewing patterns of some of our hit shows on ABC Grey39s Anatomy The Good Doctor would be two examples quotThey are on ABC Live Then they go through that Live Plus 3 Live Plus 7 or Live Plus 8 cycle Ultimately they end up on Hulu By the end of the run of a show after one month often these shows have tripled in terms of their consumption once they39re made available on Hulu and that39s only a month It could be on Hulu for years to come amp8211 Robert Iger CEOQuotesquotAs you know we began this process with the acquisition of BAMTech which gave us the means to implement our DTC strategy putting us into the market quickly and ensuring we have the technology to deliver a quality experience Our first effort was ESPN Plus which was an immediate hit with sports fans when it launched last year and continues to deliver steady growth I39m pleased to announce that as of today ESPN Plus has over 35 million paid subscribers were drawn toward unique and growing mix of original content like the legendary NFL PrimeTime with Chris Berman now exclusively on ESPN Plus and exclusive live events including UFC College Sports domestic and international soccer and Top Rank BoxingquotBeginning in March Hulu will become the official streaming home for FX Networks FX on Hulu will include all seasons and more than 40 FX series and will offer episodes of current and new FX series immediately after the air on the linear network Additionally FX will produce original series exclusively for FX on Hulu starting with four new series in 2020 Devs from Alex Garland Mrs America starring Cate Blanchett A Teacher starring Kate Mara and The Old Man starring Jeff Bridges and John LithgowquotAt launch Disney Plus users will have immediate access to more than 500 movies including all of our beloved titles and more than 7500 episodes of library television content including 30 seasons of Simpsons By year five this growing collection will include more than 620 movies and more than 10000 television episodes along with countless shorts and features At launch it will offer 10 original movies specials and series exclusive to the platform including The Mandalorian Within a year of launch the amount of original content on Disney will increase to more than 45 series specials and movies and will expand to more than 60 original projects per year by yearfivequotConsumers can directly subscribe to the service for 699 a month or 6999 a year at disneypluscom And starting November 12 they can access the service through a growing variety of partners and platforms including Apple Google Microsoft Sony and Roku And today we39re pleased to announce additional distribution partnerships with Amazon Fire Samsung and LG Disney Plus will also be available in a bundle with ESPN and adsupported Hulu for 1299 a monthquotOur studio had another great quarter and a phenomenal year In the fourth quarter operating income was up 79 percent driven by growth in worldwide theatrical due to the performance of The Lion King Toy Story 4 and Aladdin in the quarter compared to Incredibles 2 and AntMan and the Wasp last year The increase in operating income was partially offset by about a 120 million loss at the 21CF studio business which was driven by the performance of Ad Astra The Art of Racing in the Rain and Dark Phoenix The loss from the 21CF Studio business was about 100 million higher than the loss we estimate the business generated in Q4 last yearquotTurning to media networks operating income was down 3 percent due to declines at cable and broadcasting though results came in better than what we expected at the time we reported Q3 earnings Lower cable results reflect a decrease at ESPN partially offset by the consolidation of the 21CF cable businesses At ESPN higher programming and production costs driven by contractual rate increases for NFL college sports and MLB programing and higher marketing expenses related in part to the launch of the ACC Network more than offset growth in affiliate revenuequotESPN39s domestic linear advertising revenue was down two percent in the fourth quarter and so far this quarter ESPN39s domestic cash ad sales are pacing up three percent compared to last year At broadcasting results in the quarter were adversely impacted by lower program sales compared to last year We sold two Marvel series Daredevil and Iron Fist during Q4 last year and we didn39t have comparable sales in the fourth quarter of this year We also had lower sales of Blackish in the quarter compared to last year The difficult program sales comp coupled with higher programming expenses at the ABC Television Network and lower TV station ad revenues were largely offset by the consolidation of the 21CF broadcasting business and higher affiliate revenuequotAd revenue at the ABC Network was up modestly in the quarter Quartertodate prime time scatter pricing at the ABC Network is running 47 percent above Upfront levels Total media affiliate revenue was up 18 percent in the fourth quarter and reflects the consolidation of 21CF and growth at both cable and broadcasting The increase in affiliate revenue was driven by 15 points of growth from the acquisition of 21CF and seven points from higher rates partially offset by a fourpoint decline due to a decrease in subscribersquotFirst we expect our directtoconsumer and international segment to generate about 800 million in operating losses for the quarter We expect the continued investment in our DTC services specifically Disney which will launch in just a few days and the consolidation of Hulu to drive an adverse impact on the yearoveryear change in segment operating income of our directtoconsumer businesses of approximately 850 millionquotWell Hulu is a significant driver of advertising revenue and we will continue to be particularly as we grow Hulu out to essentially the guidance that we had given back in Investor Day that basically ad supported Hulu and has very high ARPU Which is one of the reasons that it39s being bundled with ESPN Plus and Disney for that 1299 price because the value of an adsupported Hulu subscriber given the advertising revenue that it drives is very very high ESPN there are also opportunities for growth but probably the biggest opportunity is on the Hulu frontquotThe demographics were far broader than a lot of people expected them to be This is well beyond kids and family clearly where this is a fourquadrant product with adult men and women as well as kids and families watching or using the servicequotAs it relates to your first question which I guess is consumer choice consumer confusion I think a lot about it as it relates to sic website consumption patterns and even the current app patterns where no two people use the same websites or the same set of apps amp8230Obviously a lot of overlap with the most popular ones and then there39s a lot of fragmentation I think you39re going to see that in these of good videocentric or programcentric apps where they39re going to be halves and lesser halves they39re going to be a lot of them available and they39ll have varying levels of consumption and the viewer or the consumer will be able to navigate basically relatively easily because they39re easily too easy to find Hopefully they39ll be easy to buy or use and they39ll be easy essentially place on mobile devices and on desktops and I actually think that if you39re thinking about just these TV and movie apps or whatever you want to describe them they39re probably going to be fewer of them Then there are apps for games and apps for in everything else that you39re doing internally use So I know it39s not a concernquotDo you believe think though that brands will matter As we39ve been saying as a company for a long time if you39re in a list of choice for sports and you have ESPN on as your name or other kind of product and says Disney or the other brands I think that immediately rises to the top of the list in terms of consumers39 interest And because of the recognition factor and they trust they have in these brands amp8211 Robert Iger CEOBack to Media IndexBack to Agency IndexFacebook Summary The political season and the impactchallenges of Facebook was the overriding topic of Q3 While other social networks like Twitter have announced that they will not take political ads Facebook has been adamant that they will continue to accept political ads but put a more vigorous review process in place to ensure that fake news is not used in the processamp160 Yearoveryear revenue was up 43 percent and Facebook gave credit to the success of the Oculus Quest VR headset for this boostQ3 Stock Trend Source Wolfram AlphaTop Quote quotAd revenue grew 28 percent yearoveryear and we saw strong performance in all regions and on both Facebook and Instagram Mobile ad revenue was 164 billion contributing approximately 94 percent of total ad revenuequot amp8211 Mark Zuckerberg Founder and CEOQuotesquotThere are now 28 billion people using Facebook Instagram WhatsApp or Messenger and around 22 billion people using at least one of our services dailyquotWe launched a number of new exciting products like Facebook Dating in the US which is doing quite well Threads for Instagram our camera first experience to share with your close friends Facebook News our dedicated product for news that we built in partnership with news publishers and we introduced Horizon a new social experience for VR We also released hand tracking technology for Oculus and Oculus Link so your Quest is basically now a Rift tooquotToday is certainly a historical moment of social tension and I view an important role of our company as defending free expression Now this has never been absolute and of course we take our responsibility to prevent harm very seriously too I think we invest more in getting harmful content off our services than any other company in the world Those who follow us closely know that we have more than 35000 people working on safety and security and that our budget for this work is billions of dollars a year amp8212 more than the whole revenue of our company at the time of our IPO earlier this decade And we39re going to keep on investing more herequotBut while we work hard to remove content that can cause real danger I think we also need to be careful about adopting more and more rules that restrict the way that people can speak and what they can say Right now the content debate is about political ads amp8212 should we block political ads with false statements or should be block all political ads Google YouTube and most Internet platforms run these same ads Most cable networks run these same ads and of course national broadcasters are required by law to run them by FCC regulations And I think that there are good reasons for this In a democracy I don39t think it39s right for private companies to censor politicians or the news And although I39ve considered whether we should not carry these ads in the past and I39ll continue to do so on balance so far I39ve thought that we should continue Ads can be an important part of that voice especially for candidates and advocacy groups that the media might not otherwise cover so that they can get their message into debatesquotSome people accuse us of allowing the speech because they think that all we care about is making money and that39s wrong I can assure you from a business perspective the controversy that this creates far outweighs the very small percent of our business that the political ads make up We estimate that these ads from politicians will be less than 5 percent of our revenue next year So the reality is that we believe deeply that political speech is important and that39s what39s driving thisquotWe don39t let any of our newsfeed or Instagram feed teams set goals around increasing time spent on our services We rank feeds to encourage meaningful social interactions helping people connect with friends family and their communities We39ve taken many steps over the years to fight clickbait and polarization and now we39re even testing removing like counts on Instagram and FacebookquotLast year you39d probably remember that we made a series of changes that emphasized friends and family and reduced time spent on our services The one change removed 50 million hours of viral video watching a day and we did this knowing it would mean that people would spend less time on our appsquot3939quotSo over the next year of campaigns we39re going to be at the center of the debate anytime there39s content or policies on any of our services that people believe could advantage or disadvantage their side This may lead to more investigations and the candidates are going to criticize us I expect that this is going to be a very tough year We try to do what we think is right but we39re not going to get everything right This is complex stuff and anyone you said that the answers are simple hasn39t thought long enough about all the nuances and downstream challengesquot amp8211 Mark Zuckerberg Founder and CEOquotWe39re continuing to invest in people and technology so that we can disrupt networks of bad actors find and remove that content and stop fake accounts before people see them We39re also making political advertising on Facebook more transparent than anywhere else In 2018 we started requiring ads about social issues elections or politics to get authorized before running And this quarter we strengthen those requirements to ask for even more information Helping people understand who is trying to influence their vote without becoming arbiters of political truth ourselves is critical to empowering people and keeping them safequotEarlier this year we reached an important settlement with the National Fair Housing Alliance the ACLU the Communication Workers of America and others to restrict targeting options for housing employment and credit ads Now advertisers in these areas are required to use a new buying process and by the end of the year people will be able to view all current housing ads in the United StatesquotMessaging is one of the fastest growing areas for online communication and especially between businesses and people We39ve seen businesses use Messenger to reach customers generate new leads and even sell cars For example French automaker Renault used a combination of Instagram stories and click to Messenger ads to drive sales of a limitededition vehicle the Captur Tokyo Facebook was their only advertising channel and over the span of 30 days they sold 100 cars 20 directly through Messenger This quarter we added a click to Messenger feature in stories so businesses can grab some of the attention in stories and then continue the conversationquotAccording to eMarketer 63 percent of Internet users surveyed in the US say they39ve tried an augmented reality experience created by a brand To help advertisers experiment with this we launched a small beta test this quarter As part of the test we make up an Italian cosmetics brand used their ads to give people an easy way to try on different shades of lipstick and they saw a 27 percent lift in purchasesquot Sheryl Sandberg Chief Operating OfficerquotWe were pleased with the growth of the Facebook Community this quarter daily active users reached 162 billion up 9 percent compared to last year led by growth in India Indonesia and the Philippines This represents approximately 66 percent of the 245 billion monthly active users in SeptemberquotMAUs grew 8 percent or 178 million compared to last year We39re pleased with the growth trends in all regions including the US and Canada In terms of our family metrics we continue to grow and estimate that on average around 22 billion people used at least one of our apps on a daily basis in September and around 28 billion were active on a monthly basisquotQ3 total revenue was 177 billion up 29 percent or 31 percent on a constant currency basisquotQ3 total ad revenue was 174 billion up 28 percent or 31 percent on a constant currency basis In terms of regional ad revenue growth APAC and rest of world were strongest and grew 35 percent and 34 percent respectively APAC got more of a revenue lift from our recent product optimizations while rest of world benefited from favorable macroeconomic trends compared to the weaker environment in Q3 of last year North America and Europe grew 27 percent and 24 percent respectivelyquotIn Q3 the number of ad impressions served across our services increased 37 percent and the average price per ad decreased 6 percent Impression growth was primarily driven by ads on Facebook News Feed Instagram Stories and Instagram feed The yearoveryear decline in average price per ad was primarily driven by the ongoing mix shift toward geographies and Stories ads which monetize at lower rateFinancials and outlookquotPayments and other fees revenue were 269 million up 43 percent This yearoveryear growth was driven primarily by sales of new products notably Oculus Quest Total expenses were 105 billion up 32 percent We ended Q3 with approximately 43000 fulltime employees up 28 percent Operating income was 72 billion representing a 41 percent operating marginamp160We continue to expect a more pronounced deceleration of our revenue growth rate in Q4 We expect our Q4 reported revenue growth rate will decelerate by mid to high singledigit percentage compared to our Q3 rate This deceleration is largely driven by the lapping of several successful product optimizations in Q4 of last year as well as ad targetingrelated headwinds Since these factors are largely unique to Q4 we would expect our revenue growth deceleration in 2020 versus the Q4 rate to be much less pronouncedquotquotIn Q4 and over the longer term we do continue to expect to face ad targetingrelated headwinds and uncertainties And I just go back to the three factors that I cited in the past that the regulatory landscape is continuing to evolve So for example when GDPR came into effect we saw a number of people who opted out on allowing us to use context from the apps and websites they visited for ad targetingAnd then the second factor is just we39re seeing proposed changes from the mobile platforms that are more oriented toward privacy which could affect targeting and measurement and make that more difficult And then finally we are rolling out our own product changes such as the recent launch of OSA that39s our user control on what data stored on Facebook activity So I39d say those three factors still factor in And when it comes to this I39d say the majority of the potential signal loss is still in front of us rather than behind us So I think those headwinds are still real and out there and that factors into our outlook as wellquotamp8211 Dave Wehner Chief Financial OfficerResponding to a question regarding Instagram ShoppingquotWe think there is a big opportunity over the long run here because more than 90 percent of Instagram users are following a business But on the shopping product itself it is still very early days and we39re working to improve the product and it39s quite small We started testing in Q3 shopping ads the idea that shoppers can tap on ad see a product description page and can purchase from the business39 mobile sitequotOur overall commerce efforts go across not just Instagram but Facebook and all of our properties and our goal is to make it more convenient and accessible and secure for people and business to browse discover buy and sell I think we have been and continue to be a great place for people to browse and discover That continues to drive the great great majority of our business and well for the foreseeable future But as we can help people reduce friction and close that loop we think that39s a good opportunity for people and for our businessquot amp8211 Sheryl Sandberg Chief Operating OfficerquotYeah I think in terms of our core advertising products and growth it39s worth really remembering that our core feed products for Facebook and Instagram are growing nicely and well And we see a lot of opportunity to continue that growth Definitely Stories is a big part of the success We39ve had I think a lot of success moving advertisers to where people already are That39s what happened with mobile adsamp160quotOf our more than 7 million advertisers we already have 3 million ads across Facebook Instagram and Messenger Stories And I think that39s because we learned that we have to do a lot to help them move For example advertisers can now buy Stories across Facebook Instagram and Messenger all at once We had automatic default templates which convert your feed ads into vertical Stories format and this quarter we just launched customizable templates which help you save time and resources As we have to help advertisers move we39ve learned how to make those investments in making the formats really easy the measurement really easy the buying really easy Stories still does monetize at the same rate as a News Feed right now So we39re keeping an eye on that But the growth over the long run is pretty excitingquot amp8211 Sheryl Sandberg Chief Operating OfficerResponding to a question regarding privacy laws in the UK and USWe39ve seen adoptions around people who are opting out of allowing us to use context from the apps I39d say that was largely within the range of expectations that we saw and it is having an impact and the people who are opting out are seeing less relevant ads And obviously that will impact both I think the quality of the experience in terms of the ads they get and also the monetization for us I think that is kind of playing out as we expectedCCPA I think is still a work in progress We39re watching the developments on that closely That39s the California Consumer Privacy Act and that has many similar provisions to GDPR but it39s a different line We39re going to have to watch how that evolves but we do think that that39s a factor that we39re watching closely and we39ll just have to see how that developsquotamp160 amp8211 Dave Wehner Chief Financial OfficerquotAnd then also just add something on privacy I think it39s very important that there is federal privacy legislation GDPR encodes a lot of important principles and in order for businesses to be able to operate especially to get started and keep the market competitive you want to make sure that there aren39t 50 different regulatory frameworks that companies need to follow I mean we could handle that if we needed to we39re a big company But in terms of for the market overall I just think it would be a lot better if we had a very clear set of rules at the federal level on privacy We39ll continue to try to work with folks to try to do what we can to help therequot amp8211 Mark Zuckerberg Founder and CEOResponding to a question around ARVRquotThis is taking a bit longer than we thought And I39m still optimistic I think that the longterm vision and the reasons why I thought this amp8212 we39re going to be importantamp8230 We39re seeing a lot of people use these products and love them and because of that I think that we39re still going to get there On the one hand that of course means that the future might be a few years further out and that it might be more expensive to develop because we39ll be funding this for a bit longer until it gets there But on the other hand from our perspective we39re not a company that39s traditionally done hardware or built operating systems or these kinds of products So every year that we get to practice and get better and build our brand around Oculus in terms of building the best products that we can in this space I just think that we39re going to be better off when this is really ready to be a completely mainstream thing with hundreds of millions of people using itquotquotYou39re right that Quest is growing and doing quite well We are selling them as fast as we can make them amp8211 Mark Zuckerberg Founder ampamp CEOResponding to a question about antitrust and also reminiscing about the acquisition of InstagramquotBack in 2012 people generally didn39t think of Instagram as competing with our core service We thought about Instagram in the context of this new mobile camera space that was complementary We thought that mobile photos we39re going to be important So we were competing there with things like Facebook camera but we ultimately thought that we were going to do better work if we were building with Instagram It wasn39t a full featured social network itself It only had about 30 million people using it at the timeamp160At the end of the day the FTC makes its judgment on what we can do the FTC had all this context when they made this decision in 2012 And the reality is it ends up being a lot more complementary than I think we ever expectedamp160But it also wouldn39t be what it is without everything that we put into it and whether that39s the infrastructure or our advertising model or spam and safety services and a lot more quotamp8211 Mark Zuckerberg Founder ampamp CEOBack to Media IndexBack to Agency IndexGoogleSummary Going strong Google introduced several new ad products including

podcasting and social We reach audiences on more than 250 different platforms and that39s 2000 devices with approximately 135 million registered users 20000 live events and 211 million fans on social mediaquotConsumers spend 30 minutes a day with us on average whereas Google and Facebook39s audiences averaged 26 and 18 minutes per day respectivelyquotBuilding on that reach and engagement we39ve begun to see a shifting of media mix from other sectors toward audio The most prominent example of this has been Procter ampamp Gamble who39ve been a vocal leader about their shift back to radio and which just matched its strongest quarterly sales growth in over a decadequotRadio39s reach has remained constant above 90 percent dating back to the 1970s while TV steadily declined from 95 percent in the early 2000s to 86 percent todayquotThe podcasting industry is growing rapidly and shows no signs of slowing down In fact the Forrester Research report that was published earlier this week estimated that the podcasting industry could reach 1 billion by the end of 2020 And iHeart is the number one commercial podcast publisher based on Podtrac39s rankings which are the industry standard for measurementquotOur podcasting business is not only growing revenue but it39s also profitable Podcasting today is accretive to our total company margins That39s because we own our content and because we use our broadcast radio inventory to build demand for our podcast This new revenue stream is incremental to our broadcast radio revenuequotWe continue to expand our podcast offerings with major talent that includes Shonda Rhimes Will Ferrell and Chelsea Handler as well as major podcast brands like Stuff You Should Know the most downloaded podcast of all time and podcasts from our iconic radio talent like The Breakfast Club Bobby Bones Elvis Duran and Colin CowherdquotOur third quarter performance reflects progress we made against each of our three revenue opportunities which are one increasing our share of radio advertising spend two continuing to tap into the revenue pools of TV and digital advertising and three building new revenue opportunities coming from podcast and sponsorshipquotOur results reflect our execution against these three initiatives as we grew total company revenue by 3 percent compared to a midterm election year in 2018 Excluding the impact of political revenue grew almost 5 percent yearoveryear This revenue growth was driven by strong performance across all our revenue streams each of which grew yearoveryear excluding the impact of political revenue Digital had another strong quarter up over 33 percent yearoveryear and networks also grew yearoveryear by 92 percent And we continued to see strength in our broadcast segment which outperformed the broadcast radio market and was up yearoveryear excluding politicalquotWe continue to work with advertisers to build unique marketing solutions that include audio By doing so we39re bringing money that wasn39t previously earmarked for radio into our revenue pool We also have an opportunity to solve advertisers39 problems with TV39s declining reach and its large segment of light viewers by adding radio to the mix Another way we39re expanding our addressable market is with our automated selfserve advertising product called AdBuilder which is now in beta AdBuilder creates customized audio ads for advertisers using proven techniques to get their businesses heard based on information the advertisers share about the businesses Once an advertiser has listened to the professionally written and recorded ad approved it and decided on a budget and dates AdBuilder39s automated process then creates a media plan that connects the ads to the right people in the right time We do want to be clear however that we expect the adoption period to be very gradual over the next three years to five years before it begins to reach critical massquot amp8211 Robert

to a question about what39s driving broadcast revenuequotWe don39t think about it as just watching rates Unlike the TV business we have a lot more inventory than they do And we have some day parts like overnight they39re probably if we39re lucky 30 percent sold out but we still have a lot of volume opportunities And if you look at our biggest opportunity what will help us is SmartAudio If we can get the data and analytics in and get more advertisers buying impressions which is a trend and you39ve seen some of the announcements out there in the marketplace it will allow us to sell through all of our day parts to get the impressions which is the biggest opportunity we39ve got in broadcast revenue I think people are seeing it as a solution to some of the problems they39re having in digital some of the issues they39ve got in TV and they39re not going to give them up But what they39re going to do is add more radio to the mix in order to get more reach in order to get more cost

in general don39t forget the power of brand creation And what is the value of a franchise It39s really the value of brand creation and can you scale off it In this past quarter we made a movie called Tall Girl a hugely unknown cast who in 7 days grew their social media following into the millions on Netflix and had over 40 million people watch itquotWe see the value of franchises like Stranger Things and Black MirrorquotAnd so we39re continuing to work to do that as well But I think about it as not like franchises are better than nonfranchises Great stories are what matter and the way that

quarter of doubledigit growth In US media we saw this doubledigit performance in both local and national We were delighted to see these twin sources of demand drive continued strong growth in both billboard and transit This topline strength helps drive OIBDA up over 8 percent and AFFO up 7 percentquotIn billboards revenues grew 8 percent on both reported and organic basis This is on top of the 6 percent growth in the third quarter of last year Billboard saw a strong contribution from digital and we39re encouraged to also see static billboards performing well Transit revenues were up 20 percent led by digital both in terms of dollar and percentage growth While the majority of this growth was from New York City we had great performances in all of our key transit marketsquotFirst we are getting a nice lift on static billboard yields which are 80 percent of total billboard revenue We39re also growing our digital yields and converting more billboard inventory to digitalquotYeartodate we have built or converted 77 and including thirdparty marketing agreements and acquisitions our total digital billboards have increased by 144 quot Jeremy Male Chairman and CEOquotTurning to the MTA deployment has started once again We installed 900 displays 62 percent of which were advertising and almost all of this deployment was in key Manhattan stations We also began installing on the commuter rail platforms Our total deployment as of September 30 approached 3700 displays and more than half of these now carry advertising which will increase as a proportion over time to our stated goal of 85 percent of total screens amp8211 Matthew Siegel Executive Vice President and Chief Financial OfficerquotOn both the local and national level our sales force is our competitive advantage We have been investing heavily in our teams training compensation brand marketing and operations Another key growth driver is transit digitization This is already giving us a significant acceleration in our revenues and we expect growth to continue from additional displays including rail cars in New York later next yearquotDigital billboards are another key growth area where we want to increase our exposure through conversions marketing agreements and acquisitions We39re seeing great returns and we also believe amp8230 incremental revenue potential as the industry begins to trade its inventory in a more automated way Traditional static billboards are also hugely important to us as they represent half of our revenue and are delivering rising yields There39s no doubt at all that they are becoming more important in the media mix both from the growth rates we39re seeing and the attention they are garnering in the industryquotThis Fall Facebook published a study that showed that Facebook and outofhome complement each other allowing advertisers to reach audiences at all stages of the sales funnel and how specifically outofhome drives discovery with gen Z and millennialsquotAround 35 percent of the US industry revenues are from independent operators a good portion of these are in markets where we already operate and want to add some weight We39ve been active in this tuckin market and expect to continue adding to our portfolio in the futurequotWe and the industry are far more able to provide data and insight into the audience that are interfacing with our media And this combined with increased trading automation will provide a significant tailwind as we look forwardquotWhat39s interesting is that if you look at Q3 in dollar terms in terms of dollar growth our three top categories were financial services professional services which is for the most part actually locally driven and retail So maybe not the sort of growth drivers that you would thinkquot Jeremy Male Chairman and CEOquotWe39re having some great conversations with our larger advertisers where we believe that we may see some benefit obviously from the streaming wars that are going on We think that could be positive for outofhome because most of the streaming services are big friends of outofhome We think that 5G could be interesting as we move forward And I guess the other point is that we39re still really driving some solid local advertising growth It39s 55 percent or whatever it was in revenues in Q3 And when you drill in there we think a lot of that is actually amp8212 seriously just about our execution is going out with a core message that39s really resonating with local advertisers which is about outofhome it39s about mobile it39s about social In other words how outofhome can really sort of boost our businessquot amp160Matthew Siegel Executive Vice President and Chief Financial OfficerquotThe first is in terms of our inventory currently on programmatic exchanges At the moment39 after all it39s relative to the 450 million of revenue in the quarter it39s a handful of dollars but it39s starting to grow and that39s terrific Then in terms of our own platform as you know we39ve been investing in a product called smartSCOUT which is a planning and buying tool At the moment the planning piece of that is currently in use It39s in use within beta formed by our national sales team and we39re testing in a couple of local markets and what that39s about and is basically we can kind of get much more granular detail in terms of audience delivery of each of our boards Now we haven39t yet but we will be plugging on the buy button if you like on to that planning tool as we go forward And that39s something we haven39t done yet but we39re utilizing smartSCOUT as a real provider of data and insight when we39re going out and having discussions with our advertisers todayquotquotNot every digital board is equal So when we build a digital board on the West Side Highway we39re going to get a much different yield to building digital billboard in Tampa for example So part of it is where we are building the boards out and if you39ve been around New York City lately you will see that we39ve been building some great boards So that39s obviously that impacts slightly It39s not a balance sheet issue for us Ben It39s really more about how we can create those opportunities because zoning is still a gating factor So we keep one eye on zoning and we also just keep one eye on demand in a particular market because we obviously don39t want to develop boards where there wouldn39t be sufficient demand and essentially we may be eating our own lunch So those are the two things we take into account But we feel good about our prospect for

to show you It turns out that that setting wasn39t working as expected and we were using device settings even if people had asked us not to do so So when we discovered that we tweeted about it which we often do to be transparent with people when things aren39t working as expected We turned off the setting so that it would work as expected That has a negative impact to revenue because it39s one

advertisers so that they can see the effectiveness of their campaigns not just on Twitter but across platforms Another one of the questions that we ask people before we put them into a timeline is if we can share their data with measurement partners That setting also was not working as expected and we were passing on data which we have not intended to So we stopped doing that and although we are working on remediation there isn39t remediation yet in place and so the effects of that will continue into Q4quot Jack Dorsey CEOBack to Media IndexBack to Agency IndexViacom note for Viacom this is their fiscal Q4Summary This was the final quarterly report prior to the ViacomCBS merger This was a strong quarter for Viacom with major announcements with Netflix and revenue growth across multiple lines of businessQ3 Stock Trend Source Wolfram AlphaTop Quote quotThanks to the combination of our vibrant brands and strong ad sales execution including our sophisticated suite of Advanced Marketing Solutions we delivered 6 percent ad growth marking the second consecutive quarter of positive performance Perhaps more important we also delivered fullyear revenue growth for the first time in six years This represents a significant milestone for Viacom and is evidence of our transformation In particular the success of our Advanced Marketing Solutions business where revenue grew 83 percent in the quarter and 76 percent for the full year shows how we have evolved the ad sales business to thrive even in the face of linear impression constraintsquot amp8211 Bob Bakish President ampamp CEOQuotesquotWe returned Paramount to fullyear profitability The studio was profitable for the first time in four years We did this by improving execution across the board putting in place a new balanced film slate strategy and by significantly ramping the TV businessquotMoving to Domestic Media networks Viacom maintained the number one share of US basic cable viewing among key demos And our portfolio grew market share in the quarter and for the full year with strong results at MTV Comedy Central and Paramount Network In fact in the quarter we had the number one cable comedy telecast with South Park the number one drama series with Yellowstone the number one reality series with Love and Hiphop Hollywood and the number one preschool series with Ryan39s Mystery Playdate And that is just the tip of the iceberg We had nine of the top 30 cable networks more than any other cable family More recently in Q1 at BET we launched Tyler Perry39s The Oval in fact The Oval became the number one new series for African Americans ages 18 to 49 for cable and broadcast season to datequotLooking beyond linear TV in Q4 Viacom Digital Studios delivered its highest views ever on YouTube Instagram and Twitter In fact VDS drove yearoveryear increases in Viacom39s aggregate number of social video views and minutes by 38 percent and 75 percent respectively across all of our domestic social accounts bringing our total social video views to 96 billion in the quarterquotPluto TV continues to grow expanding its leadership in the free streaming TV space and its contribution to our ad sales growth It now has approximately 20 million domestic monthly active users a nearly 70 percent increase this calendar year to dateamp160In Q4 alone Pluto launched 43 new channelsquotPluto Latino added 11 new channels giving the platform a total of 22 channels with over 4000 hours of Spanish and Portuguese language programming We also continue to grow Pluto TV distribution both globally and on new platforms which benefits both our audiences and our partnersquotIn short in a crowded subscription universe as consumers become increasingly more valueconscious we strongly believe that having the leading free streaming TV service in country and over time the world is a huge competitive advantagequotWe believe persistent headwinds from subscriber trends and rates will continue to impact the business which is why our multifaceted approach is the right strategy going forward On the media networks studio side including Nick Studios Awesomeness MTV Studios and more we have 17 domestic series ordered to or in production for thirdparties which is an impressive achievement for a business we created less than two years ago Add the 26 we have at Paramount TV and we have a total of 43 shows in the rapidly growing TV studio business in the US alonequotWe got two new deals with Netflix Just this week Nickelodeon Studios announced a new multiyear output deal to produce original animated films and series based on both Nick library and brandnew IP for kids and families around the world I39m also pleased to announce that Paramount has licensed the rights to Beverly Hills Cop to Netflix which will produce a new film based on an iconic IP further expanding our relationship with this important original production clientquotIn October Comedy Central Productions and Trevor Noah signed an agreement to develop a comedy series for Quibi And we recently licensed South Park39s domestic streaming rights to HBO Max further demonstrating the appeal of our IP and our ability to maximize its value We continue to broaden the business internationally as well As an example we now have almost 40 mobile deals live reaching five million subscribersquot amp8211 Bob Bakish President and CEOquotMoving to domestic ad sales Revenue finished up 1 percent for the year benefiting from a return to growth in the back half including a strong Q3 and Q4 with both quarters up 6 percent AMS Advanced Marketing Solutions is enabling us to decouple our ad revenue performance from broader industry declines in linear capacity setting us apart from our peers and helping us now deliver industryleading advertising revenue growth AMS revenue accounted for 17 percent of fullyear domestic ad sales and over 20 percent of our fiscal fourth quarter domestic ad salesquotIn fact in the month of September Pluto registered its highestever revenue month and total viewing minutes tripled over the prior year We continue to see Pluto TV as a global opportunity including over 1 billion of ad sales in the US alone as we expand the content offering grow audience and enhance monetizationquot amp8211 Wade Davis Chief Financial OfficerquotAnd now we39re beginning the next leg of our journey one that is transformational the merger of Viacom and CBS At the center of it all is content ViacomCBS will be a truly global multiplatform premium content powerhouse with tremendous assets and scale ViacomCBS will be positioned to serve consumers the creative community commercial partners employees and other constituents while creating significant value for shareholders We anticipate the ViacomCBS merger closing in early December but we are already hard at work including having announced the bulk of the senior leadership team of the combined company which is deep into integration planning as we speakquotAnd this integration is not just about cost savings At its core it39s also about extracting more value from our content assets To that end just this week Pluto TV announced the launch of three new channels from CBS giving customers free access to live local news streams from CBSN New York CBSN Los Angeles as well as a leading entertainment new streaming channel ET Live This is just a taste of what39s to come once this deal closes in a few weeksquotOn ViacomCBSquotRemember on a combined basis ViacomCBS delivers about 22 percent of US primetime TV viewing with a range of highly soughtafter content Today we only receive about 11 percent share of the fees We believe that represents a significant goingforward opportunityquotAs you know we will have a marketleading position in linear across every demographic We39re the number one share player overall We39ll be the number one player on every single demographic Combine that with the industry39s leading Advanced Marketing Solutions platform that will position us as the goto solution and problem solver for agencies and their clients and that in turn will allow us to grow share The third area is content licensing Here we39re uniting a Hollywood film slate with substantial TV production across multiple entities whether that39s CBS or Showtime or Viacom Media Networks or Paramount TVquotSo we are in the middle of developing our combined company streaming strategy As I said that strategy will cross free leveraging the tremendous head start we have with Pluto And Pluto today the last number I said Pluto has 50000 hours of content on it 250odd channels We added many Viacom channels but it39s not just Viacom channelsquotSo that39s a way of getting more ROI out of assets we already own That39s certainly the road forward And visavis time where it moves from one place to Pluto that39s something we continue to evaluate But again using pure Viacom library content with good distance from airdate that39s working very well for usquotWe39re tremendously excited about that So I39m not surprised that Iger wants to participate in the free space too It39s a big part of the market And by the way that market is partially people that are only using free and is partially people that are using free as a complementquot amp8211 Bob Bakish President ampamp CEOOn the approach to the advertising communityquotOn the ad side as you said we have a tremendous opportunity here If you look at what Viacom did in the last Upfront where we combined the Viacom portfolio of networks with Advanced Marketing Solutions including Viacom Video and Pluto doing things like taking our 18 to 34 reach from low 40s with our linear networks high 40s with Pluto 90 with Viacom Video bringing that to market in a package to help get advertisers more reach without frequency cap problems and help them manage inflation that was compelling Every agency in the industry signed up for it And as you know we had a very strong Upfront ViacomCBS is that on steroids We will be the definitive problemsolver for the industry and the first port of call almost without a doubtquotBut you see demand ramping from streamers Whether that39s in the television series space or that39s in the filmlength space that39s a good growth segment In some respects that is the new home video We have a longerterm opportunity probably in the PVOD spacequot amp8211 Bob Bakish President and CEOClick the social buttons to share this story with your friends and colleaguesThe opinions and points of view expressed in this
