Free cash flow is not a financial measure defined by GAAP. See the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures that follows below.

The decrease in free cash flow was driven by lower segment operating results, higher contributions to our pension plans and an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset by lower income tax payments and a decreased net investment in working capital. The increase in capital expenditures reflected spending on the Disney’s California Adventure expansion and construction progress payments on two new cruise ships.

The decrease in free cash flow was driven by lower segment operating results, higher net investment in film and television productions and an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset by lower income tax payments and favorable working capital impacts. The increase in capital expenditures reflected a construction progress payment on the new cruise ships and new broadcast and film production facilities.

The Company generated $3.8 billion in free cash flow during fiscal 2007 compared to $4.7 billion in the prior year, reflecting a decrease of $0.6 billion in cash provided by operations and an increase of $0.3 billion in capital expenditures.

Cash provided by continuing operations decreased as higher operating performance at Media Networks, Studio Entertainment and Parks and Resorts was more than offset by higher income tax payments, including taxes paid on the E! Entertainment and Us Weekly gains, and timing of film and television spending and accounts receivable collections.

The increase in capital expenditures was driven by an increase at Parks and Resorts primarily due to a deposit on the construction of two new cruise ships and new rides and attractions at Disneyland Resort including the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher operating performance at Studio Entertainment, Parks and Resorts and Media Networks and lower NFL payments, partially offset by higher income tax payments.

The increase in capital expenditures was driven by a deposit on two new cruise ships and new rides and attractions at Disneyland Resort including the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.

Cash provided by operations decreased by $63 million to $516 million as higher earnings and lower NFL payments were more than offset by working capital timing. Receivables increased significantly during the quarter driven by the strong DVD sales at Studio Entertainment. We expect to collect a substantial amount of these receivables in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
