This excerpt taken from the DIS 10-Q filed Feb 3, 2009. OVERVIEW Our summary consolidated results are presented below:
Quarter Results Diluted earnings per share decreased 29% for the quarter due primarily to lower operating results, partially offset by a gain on the sale of our investment in two pay television services in Latin America which resulted in a benefit of $0.04 per diluted share. Lower operating results reflected decreased DVD unit sales due to the strong performance in the prior-year quarter of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and High School Musical 2 and a decrease in catalog sales, lower advertising revenues at the ABC Television Network, ESPN and the owned television stations and decreased attendance and occupancy at our domestic parks. These decreases were partially offset by higher revenues from cable, satellite and telecommunications service providers (Cable Service Providers), principally at ESPN and lower broadcast programming and production cost amortization.
