**Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance and may include statements concerning, among other things, financial results, business plans (including statements regarding new services and products and future expenditures, costs and investments), future liabilities, impairments and amortization, competition, and the impact of COVID-19 on our businesses and results of operations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "may," "will," "would," "should," "expects," "plans," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions as of the date of this report. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from expectations or results projected or implied by forward-looking statements.

Such differences may result from actions taken by the Company, including restructuring or strategic initiatives (including capital investments, asset acquisitions or dispositions, new or expanded business lines or cessation of certain operations), our execution of our business plans (including the content we create and IP we invest in, our pricing decisions, our cost structure and our management and other personnel decisions) or other business decisions, as well as from developments beyond the Company's control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• further deterioration in domestic and global economic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deterioration in or pressures from competitive conditions, including competition to create or acquire content and competition for talent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consumer preferences and acceptance of our content, offerings, pricing model and price increases and the market for advertising sales on our direct-to-consumer services and linear networks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• health concerns and their impact on our businesses and productions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• international, regulatory, legal, political, or military developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• technological developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• labor markets and activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse weather conditions or natural disasters; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• availability of content;

each such risk includes the current and future impacts of, and may be amplified by, COVID-19 and related mitigation efforts.

Such developments may further affect entertainment, travel and leisure businesses generally and may, among other things, affect (or further affect, as applicable):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our operations, business plans or profitability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• demand for our products and services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of the Company's content;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to create or obtain desirable content at or under the value we assign the content;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the advertising market for programming;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• income tax expense; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performance of some or all Company businesses either directly or through their impact on those who distribute our products.

Additional factors include those described in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including under the captions "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and "Business," in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. Unless required by federal securities laws, we assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated, to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the statements are made.

**THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data)

**1.*Principles of Consolidation***

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that we have included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. Operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2023.

The terms "Company," "Disney," "we," "us," and "our" are used in this report to refer collectively to the parent company, The Walt Disney Company, as well as the subsidiaries through which its various businesses are actually conducted.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*Variable Interest Entities*

The Company enters into relationships with or makes investments in other entities that may be variable interest entities (VIE). A VIE is consolidated in the financial statements if the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant (as defined by ASC 810-10-25-38) to the VIE. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Shanghai Disney Resort (together the Asia Theme Parks) are VIEs in which the Company has less than 50% equity ownership. Company subsidiaries (the Management Companies) have management agreements with the Asia Theme Parks, which provide the Management Companies, subject to certain protective rights of joint venture partners, with the ability to direct the day-to-day operating activities and the development of business strategies that we believe most significantly impact the economic performance of the Asia Theme Parks. In addition, the Management Companies receive management fees under these arrangements that we believe could be significant to the Asia Theme Parks. Therefore, the Company has consolidated the Asia Theme Parks in its financial statements.

*Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests*

The Company consolidates the results of Hulu LLC (Hulu), a direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming service provider, which is owned 67% by the Company and 33% by NBC Universal (NBCU). In May 2019, the Company entered into a put/call agreement with NBCU that provided the Company with full operational control of Hulu. Under the agreement, beginning in January 2024, NBCU has the option to require the Company to purchase NBCU's interest in Hulu and the Company has the option to require NBCU to sell its interest in Hulu to the Company, in either case at a redemption value based on NBCU's equity ownership percentage of the greater of Hulu's then equity fair value or a guaranteed floor value of $27.5 billion.

NBCU's interest will generally not be allocated its portion of Hulu's losses, if any, as the redeemable noncontrolling interest is required to be carried at a minimum value. The minimum value is equal to the fair value as of the May 2019 agreement date accreted to the January 2024 estimated redemption value. At December 31, 2022, NBCU's interest in Hulu is recorded in the Company's financial statements at $8.7 billion, which is reported as "Redeemable noncontrolling interest" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We are accreting NBCU's interest in Hulu to its guaranteed floor value. In determining the redemption value, our estimate of Hulu's equity fair value in January 2024 requires management to make significant judgments. If our estimate of the future fair value of Hulu's equity increased above the guaranteed floor value, we would change our rate of accretion, which would generally increase the amount recorded in "Net income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests" and thus reduce "Net income attributable to Disney" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

At October 1, 2022, Major League Baseball (MLB) held a 15% redeemable noncontrolling interest in BAMTech LLC (BAMTech), which was recorded in the Company's financial statements at $828 million. In November 2022, the Company purchased MLB's redeemable noncontrolling interest for $900 million, resulting in $72 million recorded as an increase in "Net income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

**2.*Segment Information***

The Company's operations are conducted in the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution (DMED) and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products (DPEP) segments. Our operating segments report separate financial information, which is evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer to allocate resources and assess performance.

Segment operating results reflect earnings before corporate and unallocated shared expenses, restructuring and impairment charges, net other income, net interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests. Segment operating income includes equity in the income of investees and excludes impairments of certain equity investments and acquisition accounting amortization of TFCF Corporation (TFCF) and Hulu assets (i.e. intangible assets and the fair value step-up for film and television costs) recognized in connection with the TFCF acquisition in fiscal 2019 (TFCF and Hulu acquisition amortization). Corporate and unallocated shared expenses principally consist of corporate functions, executive management and certain unallocated administrative support functions.

Segment operating results include allocations of certain costs, including information technology, pension, legal and other shared services costs, which are allocated based on metrics designed to correlate with consumption.

Segment revenues and segment operating income (loss) are as follows:

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

(unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data)

Revenues recognized in the current and prior-year periods from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous reporting periods primarily relate to revenues earned on TV/SVOD licenses for titles made available to the licensee in previous reporting periods. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, $0.3 billion was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of October 1, 2022. For the quarter ended January 1, 2022, $0.4 billion was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of October 2, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future is $15 billion, primarily for content and other IP to be made available in the future under existing agreements with merchandise and co-branding licensees and sponsors, television station affiliates, sports sublicensees, advertisers, and DTC wholesalers. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $4 billion in the remainder of fiscal 2023, $4 billion in fiscal 2024, $3 billion in fiscal 2025 and $4 billion thereafter. These amounts include only fixed consideration or minimum guarantees and do not include amounts related to (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less (such as most advertising contracts) or (ii) licenses of IP that are solely based on the sales of the licensee.

When the timing of the Company's revenue recognition is different from the timing of customer payments, the Company recognizes either a contract asset (customer payment is subsequent to revenue recognition and subject to the Company satisfying additional performance obligations) or deferred revenue (customer payment precedes the Company satisfying the performance obligations). Consideration due under contracts with payment in arrears is recognized as accounts receivable. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. The Company's contract assets and activity for the current and prior-year periods were not material.

Accounts receivable and deferred revenues from contracts with customers are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,<br>2022** | October 1,<br>2022 |
| Accounts receivable |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current | $**12222** | $10886 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-current | **1193** | 1226 |
| Allowance for credit losses | **(166)** | (179) |
| Deferred revenues |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current | **5392** | 5531 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-current | **908** | 927 |

---

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $3.4 billion that was included in the October 1, 2022 deferred revenue balance. For the quarter ended January 1, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $1.9 billion that was included in the October 2, 2021 deferred revenue balance. Amounts deferred generally relate to theme park admissions and vacation packages, DTC subscriptions and advances related to merchandise and TV/SVOD licenses.

We evaluate our allowance for credit losses and estimate collectability of current and non-current accounts receivable based on historical bad debt experience, our assessment of the financial condition of individual companies with which we do business, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. In times of economic turmoil, our estimates and judgments with respect to the collectability of our receivables are subject to greater uncertainty than in more stable periods.

The Company has accounts receivable with original maturities greater than one year related to the sale of film and television program rights (TV/SVOD licensing) and vacation club properties. These receivables are discounted to present value at contract inception and the related revenues are recognized at the discounted amount. The balance of TV/SVOD licensing receivables recorded in other non-current assets was $0.6 billion at both December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022. The balance of vacation club receivables recorded in other non-current assets was $0.6 billion at both December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022. The allowance for credit losses and activity for the period ended December 31, 2022 was not material.

These facilities allow for borrowings at SOFR-based rates plus a fixed spread that varies with the Company's debt ratings assigned by Moody's Investors Service and Standard and Poor's ranging from 0.755% to 1.225%. The bank facilities contain only one financial covenant, relating to interest coverage of three times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including both intangible amortization and amortization of our film and television production and programming costs. On December 31, 2022, the Company met this covenant by a significant margin. The bank facilities specifically exclude certain entities, including the Asia Theme Parks, from any representations, covenants or events of default. The Company also has the ability to issue up to $500 million of letters of credit under the facility expiring in March 2027, which if utilized, reduces available borrowings under this facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has $2.0 billion of outstanding letters of credit, of which none were issued under this facility.

*Cruise Ship Credit Facilities*

The Company has credit facilities to finance a significant portion of the contract price of two new cruise ships, which are scheduled to be delivered in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026.

**7.*Produced and Acquired/Licensed Content Costs and Advances***

The Company classifies its capitalized produced and acquired/licensed content costs as long-term assets and classifies advances for live programming rights made prior to the live event as short-term assets. For purposes of amortization and impairment, the capitalized content costs are classified based on their predominant monetization strategy as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individual - lifetime value is predominantly derived from third-party revenues that are directly attributable to the specific film or television title (e.g. theatrical revenues or sales to third-party television programmers)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Group - lifetime value is predominantly derived from third-party revenues that are attributable only to a bundle of titles (e.g. subscription revenue for a DTC service or affiliate fees for a cable television network)

Total capitalized produced and licensed content by predominant monetization strategy is as follows:

**8.*Income Taxes***

*Unrecognized Tax Benefits*

During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company increased its gross unrecognized tax benefits (before interest and penalties) by $0.1 billion to $2.6 billion. In the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could change due to resolutions of open tax matters, which would reduce our unrecognized tax benefits by $0.1 billion.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not make any material contributions to its pension and postretirement medical plans and does not currently expect to make any material contributions for the remainder of fiscal 2023. Final minimum funding requirements for fiscal 2023 will be determined based on a January 1, 2023 funding actuarial valuation, which is expected to be received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

**10.*Earnings Per Share***

Diluted earnings per share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and are calculated using the treasury stock method for equity-based compensation awards (Awards). A reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding and the number of Awards excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they were anti-dilutive, are as follows:

Management does not believe that the Company has incurred a probable material loss by reason of any of those actions.

**14.*Fair Value Measurements***

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and is generally classified in one of the following categories:

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets

Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable

The fair values of Level 2 derivatives are primarily determined by internal discounted cash flow models that use observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves and foreign currency exchange rates. Counterparty credit risk, which is mitigated by master netting agreements and collateral posting arrangements with certain counterparties, had an impact on derivative fair value estimates that was not material.

Level 2 other liabilities are primarily arrangements that are valued based on the fair value of underlying investments, which are generally measured using Level 1 and Level 2 fair value techniques.

Level 2 borrowings, which include commercial paper, U.S. dollar denominated notes and certain foreign currency denominated borrowings, are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or identical instruments in markets that are not active.

Level 3 borrowings include the Asia Theme Park borrowings, which are valued based on the current borrowing cost and credit risk of the Asia Theme Parks as well as prevailing market interest rates.

*Interest Rate Risk Management*

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its borrowing activities. The Company's objective is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and on the market value of its borrowings. In accordance with its policy, the Company targets its fixed-rate debt as a percentage of its net debt between a minimum and maximum percentage. The Company primarily uses pay-floating and pay-fixed interest rate swaps to facilitate its interest rate risk management activities.

The Company designates pay-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings effectively converting fixed-rate borrowings to variable-rate borrowings indexed to LIBOR. The total notional amount of the Company's pay-floating interest rate swaps at both December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022, was $13.5 billion and $14.5 billion, respectively.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Borrowings hedged with pay-floating swaps | **(71)** | 178 |
| Benefit (expense) associated with interest accruals on pay-floating swaps | **(95)** | 37 |

---

The Company may designate pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest payments on floating-rate borrowings. Pay-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings. The unrealized gains or losses from these cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCI and recognized in interest expense as the interest payments occur. The Company did not have pay-fixed interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments at December 31, 2022 or at October 1, 2022, and gains and losses related to pay-fixed interest rate swaps recognized in earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 were not material.

*Foreign Exchange Risk Management*

The Company transacts business globally and is subject to risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow fluctuations associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes, enabling management to focus on core business issues and challenges.

The Company enters into option and forward contracts that change in value as foreign currency exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted but not firmly committed foreign currency transactions. In accordance with policy, the Company hedges its forecasted foreign currency transactions for periods generally not to exceed four years within an established minimum and maximum range of annual exposure. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of the related forecasted transaction, asset, liability or firm commitment. The principal currencies hedged are the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Chinese yuan and Canadian dollar. Cross-currency swaps are used to effectively convert foreign currency denominated borrowings into U.S. dollar denominated borrowings.

The Company designates foreign exchange forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges of firmly committed and forecasted foreign currency transactions. As of December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022, the notional amounts of the Company's net foreign exchange cash flow hedges were $7.3 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively. Mark-to-market gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in AOCI and are recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur, offsetting changes in the value of the foreign currency transactions. Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI for contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $317 million. The following table summarizes the effect of foreign exchange cash flow hedges on AOCI:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Quarter Ended** | **Quarter Ended** |
| | **December 31,<br>2022** | January 1,<br>2022 |

The Company designates cross currency swaps as fair value hedges of foreign currency denominated borrowings. The impact from the change in foreign currency on both the cross currency swap and borrowing is recorded to "Interest expense, net." The impact from interest rate changes is recorded in AOCI and is amortized over the life of the cross currency swap. As of December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022, the total notional amounts of the Company's designated cross currency swaps were Canadian $1.3 billion ($1.0 billion) and Canadian $1.3 billion ($0.9 billion), respectively. The related gains or losses recognized in earnings were not material for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022.

Foreign exchange risk management contracts with respect to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. The notional amounts of these foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022 were $4.2 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. The following table summarizes the net foreign exchange gains or losses recognized on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the net foreign exchange gains or losses on the foreign exchange contracts we entered into to mitigate our exposure with respect to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities by the corresponding line item in which they are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

*Commodity Price Risk Management*

The Company is subject to the volatility of commodities prices and the Company designates certain commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted commodity purchases. Mark-to-market gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in AOCI and are recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur, offsetting changes in the value of commodity purchases. The notional amount of these commodities contracts at December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022 and related gains or losses recognized in earnings for the quarter and quarter ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 were not material.

*Risk Management – Other Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges*

The Company enters into certain other risk management contracts that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts, which include certain total return swap contracts, are intended to offset economic exposures of the Company and are carried at market value with any changes in value recorded in earnings. The notional amounts of these contracts at December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022 were $0.4 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively. The related gains or losses recognized in earnings were not material for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022.

*Contingent Features and Cash Collateral*

The Company has master netting arrangements by counterparty with respect to certain derivative financial instrument contracts. The Company may be required to post collateral in the event that a net liability position with a counterparty exceeds limits defined by contract and that vary with the Company's credit rating. In addition, these contracts may require a counterparty to post collateral to the Company in the event that a net receivable position with a counterparty exceeds limits defined by contract and that vary with the counterparty's credit rating. If the Company's or the counterparty's credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, such counterparties or the Company would also have the right to terminate our derivative contracts, which could lead to a net payment to or from the Company for the aggregate net value by counterparty of our derivative contracts. The aggregate fair values of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position by counterparty were $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion on December 31, 2022 and October 1, 2022, respectively.

**16.*Restructuring and Impairment Charges***

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $69 million related to exiting our businesses in Russia. These charges are recorded in "Restructuring and impairment charges" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

*Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance*

In November 2021, the FASB issued guidance requiring annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the nature of the transactions, the accounting for the transactions, and the effect of the transactions on the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning with the Company's 2023 fiscal year. While the guidance will not have an effect on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company may need to disclose the effects on the financial statements of incentives related to the production of content, which are the most significant type of government assistance we receive.

**SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS**

*Leadership Change and Pending Restructuring*

As previously announced, on November 20, 2022, Robert A. Iger returned to the Company as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Director. Mr. Iger previously spent more than four decades at the Company, including 15 years as CEO. In announcing Mr. Iger's appointment, the Company noted he has agreed to serve as CEO for two years, with a mandate from the Company's Board of Directors "to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and to work closely with the Board in developing a successor to lead the Company at the completion of his term."

As contemplated by the leadership change announcement, Mr. Iger formed a committee to advise him on a new organizational structure and operational changes within the Company to address the Board's goals. Upon implementation of these changes and related changes to our financial processes, we expect to report our operating segments differently than we do in this report. In addition, the new organizational structure and operational changes may result in material restructuring and impairment charges.

---

**CURRENT QUARTER RESULTS COMPARED TO PRIOR-YEAR QUARTER**

Revenues for the quarter increased 8%, or $1.7 billion, to $23.5 billion; net income attributable to Disney increased to $1.3 billion from $1.1 billion; and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Disney (EPS) increased to $0.70 from $0.63 in the prior-year quarter. The EPS increase for the quarter was due to growth in operating income at DPEP, lower investment losses and a lower effective income tax rate, partially offset by a decrease in operating income at DMED.

**Revenues**

Service revenues for the quarter increased 7%, or $1.5 billion, to $21.0 billion due to growth at our theme parks and resorts, higher DTC subscription revenue and an increase in theatrical distribution revenue. The increase at theme parks and resorts was due to higher volumes and guest spending growth. The increase in DTC subscription revenue was due to subscriber growth and higher rates. These increases were partially offset by decreased TV/SVOD distribution revenue and lower advertising revenue. Service revenues reflected an approximate 2 percentage point decrease due to the movement of the U.S. dollar against major currencies including the impact of our hedging program (Foreign Exchange Impact).

Product revenues for the quarter increased 10%, or $0.2 billion, to $2.5 billion due to higher sales volumes of merchandise, food and beverage at our theme parks and resorts, partially offset by lower home entertainment volumes. Product revenues reflected an approximate 3 percentage point decrease due to an unfavorable Foreign Exchange Impact.

**Costs and expenses**

Cost of services for the quarter increased 12%, or $1.6 billion, to $14.8 billion due to higher programming and production costs and, to a lesser extent, increased volumes at our theme parks and resorts and higher technical support costs at Direct-to-Consumer. The increase in programming and production costs was due to higher costs at Direct-to-Consumer and increased production cost amortization resulting from higher theatrical revenue, partially offset by decreased sports programming costs and lower production cost amortization resulting from lower TV/SVOD distribution revenue. Costs of services reflected an approximate 1 percentage point decrease due to a favorable Foreign Exchange Impact.

------

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

Cost of products for the quarter increased 14%, or $0.2 billion, to $1.6 billion due to higher merchandise, food and beverage sales at our theme parks and resorts, partially offset by a decrease in home entertainment volumes. Costs of products reflected an approximate 2 percentage point decrease due to a favorable Foreign Exchange Impact.

Selling, general, administrative and other costs increased 1% to $3.8 billion.

Depreciation and amortization increased 3% to $1.3 billion due to higher depreciation at our domestic theme parks and resorts.

**Restructuring and impairment charges**

In the current quarter, the Company recorded charges of $69 million related to exiting our businesses in Russia.

**Other expense, net**

The current quarter includes a DraftKings loss of $70 million, partially offset by a $28 million gain on the sale of a business. The prior-year quarter included a DraftKings loss of $432 million.

**Interest expense, net** 

Interest expense, net is as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Quarter Ended** | **Quarter Ended** | |
| (in millions) | **December 31,<br>2022** | January 1,<br>2022 | % Change<br>Better (Worse) |
| Interest expense | $**(465)** | $(361) | (29) % |
| Interest income, investment income and other | **165** | 50 | >100% |
| Interest expense, net | $**(300)** | $(311) | 4% |

---

The increase in interest expense was due to higher average rates, partially offset by lower average debt balances.

The increase in interest income, investment income and other resulted from a favorable comparison of pension and postretirement benefit costs, other than service cost, and higher interest income on cash balances.

**Equity in the Income of Investees**

Income from equity investees decreased $48 million, to $191 million from $239 million, due to lower income from A+E Television Networks.

**Effective Income Tax Rate**

| Effective income tax rate - continuing operations | **23.2%** | **23.2%** | 28.9% | 28.9% |

---

The decrease in the effective income tax rate was due to the impact of adjustments related to prior years, which was favorable in the current quarter and unfavorable in the prior-year quarter. This impact was partially offset by the tax effect of employee share-based awards, which had an unfavorable impact in the current quarter and favorable impact in the prior-year quarter.

| Net income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests | $**(82)** | $(48) | (71) % |

---

The increase in net income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the purchase of MLB's 15% interest in BAMTech and lower losses at our DTC sports business, partially offset by higher losses at Shanghai Disney Resort.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is determined on income after royalties and management fees, financing costs and income taxes, as applicable.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

**Certain Items Impacting Results in the Quarter**

Results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 were impacted by the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• TFCF and Hulu acquisition amortization of $579 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restructuring and impairment charges of $69 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other expense, net of $42 million due to the DraftKings loss of $70 million, partially offset by a $28 million gain on the sale of a business

Results for the quarter ended January 1, 2022 were impacted by the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• TFCF and Hulu acquisition amortization of $595 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other expense, net of $436 million due to the DraftKings loss of $432 million

A summary of the impact of these items on EPS is as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Tax benefit (expense) amounts are determined using the tax rate applicable to the individual item.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>EPS is net of noncontrolling interest share, where applicable. Total may not equal the sum of the column due to rounding.

**SEASONALITY**

The Company's businesses are subject to the effects of seasonality. Consequently, the operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 for each business segment, and for the Company as a whole, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

DMED revenues are subject to seasonal advertising patterns, changes in viewership and subscriber levels, timing and performance of film releases in the theatrical and home entertainment markets, timing of and demand for film and television programs, and the availability of and demand for sports programming. In general, domestic advertising revenues are typically somewhat higher during the fall and somewhat lower during the summer months. In addition, advertising revenues generated from sports programming are impacted by the timing of sports seasons and events, which varies throughout the year or may take place periodically (e.g. biannually, quadrennially). Affiliate revenues vary with the subscriber trends of multi-channel video programming distributors (i.e. cable, satellite telecommunications and digital over-the-top service providers). Theatrical release dates are determined by several factors, including competition and the timing of vacation and holiday periods.

DPEP revenues fluctuate with changes in theme park attendance and resort occupancy resulting from the seasonal nature of vacation travel and leisure activities, which generally results in higher revenues during the Company's first and fourth fiscal quarters. Peak attendance and resort occupancy generally occur during the summer months when school vacations occur and during early winter and spring holiday periods. Consumer products revenue fluctuates with consumer purchasing behavior, which generally results in higher revenues during the Company's first fiscal quarter due to the winter holiday season and in the fourth quarter due to back-to-school. In addition, licensing revenues fluctuate with the timing and performance of our film and television content.

**BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS**

The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment operating income, and management uses total segment operating income as a measure of the overall performance of the operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. Total segment operating income is not a financial measure defined by GAAP, should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by

other companies. The Company believes that information about total segment operating income assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company's portfolio of businesses separate from factors other than business operations that affect net income, thus providing separate insight into both operations and other factors that affect reported results.

The following table reconciles income from continuing operations before income taxes to total segment operating income:

*Revenues*

Affiliate revenue is as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Quarter Ended** | **Quarter Ended** | % Change<br>Better<br>(Worse) |
| (in millions) | **December 31,<br>2022** | January 1,<br>2022 | % Change<br>Better<br>(Worse) |

| International Channels | **641** | 753 | (15) % |
|  | $**4526** | $4615 | (2) % |

---

The increase in affiliate revenue at the Domestic Channels reflected an increase of 6% from higher contractual rates, partially offset by a decrease of 5% from fewer subscribers.

The decrease in affiliate revenue at the International Channels was due to decreases of 10% from an unfavorable Foreign Exchange Impact and 8% from fewer subscribers resulting from channel closures in Latin America and Europe. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of 3% from higher contractual rates.

Advertising revenue is as follows:

| International Channels | **411** | 646 | (36) % |
|  | $**2498** | $2839 | (12) % |

---

The decrease in Cable advertising revenue was due to decreases of 5% from rates and 2% from impressions, which reflected lower average viewership.

The decrease in Broadcasting advertising revenue was driven by a decrease of 10% from fewer impressions at ABC, partially offset by increases of 7% from the owned television stations and 2% from higher rates at ABC. Fewer impressions at ABC reflected lower average viewership and, to a lesser extent, fewer units delivered. The increase at the owned television stations was due to higher political advertising.

The decline in International Channels advertising revenue was due to decreases of 14% from fewer impressions, reflecting a decrease in average viewership, 13% from lower rates and 9% from an unfavorable Foreign Exchange Impact. The decrease in average viewership reflected no Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches aired in the current quarter compared to thirteen matches aired in the prior-year quarter as matches shifted from fiscal 2021 into fiscal 2022 due to COVID-19. IPL matches typically occur in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year.

Other revenue increased $17 million, to $269 million from $252 million, due to a favorable Foreign Exchange Impact and higher sub-licensing fees from International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup cricket matches in the current quarter compared to the prior-year quarter.

*Costs and Expenses*

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

Programming and production costs at Cable decreased primarily due to lower NFL and College Football Playoff (CFP) rights costs, partially offset by an increase in sports production costs. The decline in NFL rights expense reflected the timing of costs under our new agreement compared to the prior NFL agreement. The decrease in costs for CFP programming was due to the timing of the CFP games relative to our fiscal periods, partially offset by contractual rate increases. The current quarter included two host games and two semi-final games compared to four host games and two semi-final games in the prior-year quarter.

Programming and production costs at the International Channels decreased due to lower sports programming costs, a favorable Foreign Exchange Impact and the impact of channel closures. Lower sports programming costs were due to the comparison to thirteen IPL cricket matches in the prior-year quarter and lower costs for ICC cricket matches in the current quarter compared to the prior-year quarter, partially offset by an increase in sports production costs and costs for new soccer rights.

Selling, general administrative and other costs increased $48 million, to $803 million from $755 million, primarily due to higher overhead costs and an unfavorable Foreign Exchange Impact, partially offset by a gain on the sale of an interest in our X Games business and lower marketing costs at ABC.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $16 million, to $22 million from $38 million primarily due to lower depreciation at the International Channels and the transfer of technology assets and related depreciation between Linear Networks and Content Sales/Licensing and Other.

*Equity in the Income of Investees*

Income from equity investees decreased $46 million, to $196 million from $242 million, due to lower income from A+E Television Networks attributable to lower advertising revenues and higher programming costs.

*Operating Income from Linear Networks*

Operating income from Linear Networks decreased $244 million, to $1,255 million from $1,499 million, due to a decrease at the International Channels and lower income from our equity investees, partially offset by an increase at Cable.

The following table provides supplemental revenue and operating income detail for Linear Networks:

*Revenues*

Growth in subscription fees reflected increases of 19% from higher subscribers and 3% from higher rates, partially offset by a decrease of 4% from an unfavorable Foreign Exchange Impact. The increase in subscribers was due to growth at Disney+ and, to a lesser extent, at Hulu and ESPN+. Higher rates were attributable to increases in retail pricing at Hulu and, to a lesser extent, at ESPN+.

Lower advertising revenue reflected a decrease of 10% from fewer impressions due to decreases at Hulu and, to a lesser extent, Disney+, partially offset by an increase of 4% from higher rates due to an increase at Hulu.

The increase in TV/SVOD distribution and other revenue was due to a favorable Foreign Exchange Impact.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>In the U.S., Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu SVOD Only are each offered as a standalone service or together as part of various multi-product offerings. Hulu Live TV + SVOD includes Disney+ and ESPN+. Disney+ is available in more than 150 countries and territories outside the U.S. and Canada. In India and certain other Southeast Asian countries, the service is branded Disney+ Hotstar. In certain Latin American countries, we offer Disney+ as well as Star+, a general entertainment SVOD service, which is available on a standalone basis or together with Disney+ (Combo+). Depending on the market, our services can be purchased on our websites or through third-party platforms/apps or are available via wholesale arrangements.

Subscribers cease to be a paid subscriber as of their effective cancellation date or as a result of a failed payment method. Subscribers to multi-product offerings in the U.S. are counted as a paid subscriber for each service included in the multi-product offering and subscribers to Hulu Live TV + SVOD are counted as one paid subscriber for each of the Hulu Live TV + SVOD, Disney+ and ESPN+ services. In Latin America, if a subscriber has either the standalone Disney+ or Star+ service or subscribes to Combo+, the subscriber is counted as one Disney+ paid subscriber. Subscribers include those who receive a service through wholesale arrangements including those for which we receive a fee for the distribution of the service to each subscriber of an existing content distribution tier. When we aggregate the total number of paid subscribers across our DTC streaming services, we refer to them as paid subscriptions.

The monthly average paid subscribers is calculated as the sum of the beginning of the month and end of the month paid subscriber count, divided by two. Disney+ average monthly revenue per paid subscriber is calculated using a daily average of paid subscribers for the period. Revenue includes subscription fees, advertising (excluding revenue earned from selling advertising spots to other Company businesses) and premium and feature add-on revenue but excludes Premier Access and Pay-Per-View revenue. The average revenue per paid subscriber is net of discounts on offerings that carry more than one service. Revenue is allocated to each service based on the relative retail price of each service on a standalone basis. Hulu Live TV + SVOD revenue is allocated to the SVOD services based on the wholesale price of the Hulu SVOD Only, Disney+ and ESPN+ multi-product offering. In general, wholesale arrangements have a lower average monthly revenue per paid subscriber than subscribers that we acquire directly or through third-party platforms.

The average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for domestic Disney+ decreased from $6.68 to $5.95 due to a higher mix of subscribers to multi-product offerings, partially offset by an increase in retail pricing.

The average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for international Disney+ (excluding Disney+ Hotstar) decreased from $5.96 to $5.62 primarily due to an unfavorable Foreign Exchange Impact and a higher mix of subscribers in lower-priced markets, partially offset by a lower mix of wholesale subscribers.

The average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for Disney+ Hotstar decreased from $1.03 to $0.74 due to lower per-subscriber advertising revenue.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

The average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for ESPN+ increased from $5.16 to $5.53 due to an increase in retail pricing, partially offset by a higher mix of subscribers to multi-product offerings and lower per-subscriber advertising revenue.

The average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for the Hulu SVOD Only service decreased from $12.96 to $12.46 primarily due to lower per-subscriber advertising revenue and a higher mix of subscribers to multi-product offerings, partially offset by increases in retail pricing.

The average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for the Hulu Live TV + SVOD service increased from $87.01 to $87.90 due to increases in retail pricing, partially offset by a higher mix of subscribers to multi-product offerings.

---

The increase in programming and production costs at Disney+ was due to more content provided on the service and higher average costs per hour, which included an increased mix of original content.

Higher programming and production costs at Hulu were attributable to increased subscriber-based fees for programming the Live TV service, more content provided on the service and higher average costs per hour. Higher subscriber-based fees for programming the Live TV service resulted from rate increases and an increase in the number of subscribers.

The decrease in programming and production costs at ESPN+ and other was primarily due to fewer docuseries and lower costs for soccer and hockey programming, partially offset by higher costs for golf programming. A greater percentage of soccer and hockey games were aired or simulcast at Linear Networks compared to the prior-year quarter.

Other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher technology and distribution costs at Disney+ reflecting growth in existing markets and, to a lesser extent, expansion to new markets.

Selling, general, administrative and other costs decreased $119 million, to $1,156 million from $1,275 million, due to lower marketing costs at Disney+.

*Operating Loss from Direct-to-Consumer*

The operating loss from Direct-to-Consumer increased $460 million, to $1,053 million from $593 million, due to a higher loss at Disney+ and a decrease in results at Hulu, partially offset by improved results at ESPN+.

*Revenues*

The decrease in TV/SVOD distribution revenue was from lower sales of both film and episodic television content driven by lower volumes reflecting the shift from licensing content to third parties to distributing it on our DTC services. Lower sales of episodic television content were also due to non-returning series sold in the prior-year quarter and a license of animated series in the prior-year quarter.

The increase in theatrical distribution revenue was due to the performance of *Avatar: The Way of Water* and *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever* in the current quarter compared to *Eternals, Encanto* and the co-produced title *Spider-Man: No Way Home* in the prior-year quarter. Other titles released in the current quarter included *The Menu* and *Strange World*, while other titles released in the prior-year quarter included *Ron's Gone Wrong*, *West Side Story*, *The King's Man* and *The French Dispatch.* 

The decrease in home entertainment revenue was primarily due to lower unit sales of new release titles, reflecting fewer releases, and, to a lesser extent, catalog titles.

---

The increase in programming and production costs was primarily due to higher production cost amortization driven by an increase in theatrical revenue, partially offset by a decrease due to lower TV/SVOD distribution revenue.

Selling, general, administrative and other costs decreased $103 million, to $737 million from $840 million, resulting from lower theatrical marketing costs reflecting fewer titles released, partially offset by higher overhead costs.

Depreciation and amortization increased $11 million, to $80 million from $69 million, primarily due to increased investment in technology assets and the transfer of technology assets and related depreciation from Linear Networks.

*Operating Loss from Content Sales/Licensing and Other*

Operating loss from Content Sales/Licensing and Other increased $114 million, to $212 million from $98 million, due to lower TV/SVOD distribution results, higher overhead costs and a decrease in home entertainment distribution results, partially offset by higher theatrical distribution results.

*COVID-19*

Shanghai Disney Resort was closed for 33 days and 2 days, in the current and prior-year quarters, respectively, as a result of COVID-19-related restrictions. In the prior-year quarter, our cruise line business was impacted by COVID-19-related capacity restrictions, which were lifted in April 2022. In general, our other businesses were not significantly impacted by COVID-19 in the current and prior-year quarters.

*Revenues*

Higher theme park admissions revenue was due to increases of 12% from higher average per capita ticket revenue and 12% from attendance growth. The increase in average per capita ticket revenue was driven by Genie+ and Lightning Lane, which were introduced at our domestic parks in the prior-year quarter.

Parks & Experiences merchandise, food and beverage revenue growth reflected increases of 13% from higher volumes and 6% from higher average guest spending.

Higher resorts and vacations revenue was primarily due to increases of 18% from additional passenger cruise days and 10% from higher occupied hotel room nights.

Merchandise licensing and retail revenue was comparable to the prior-year quarter as decreases of 2% from retail and 1% from an unfavorable Foreign Exchange Impact were largely offset by an increase of 2% from merchandise licensing. The decrease in retail revenue was driven by lower online sales. Growth at merchandise licensing was driven by an increase in sales

of merchandise based on Black Panther, Spider-Man and Avengers, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from merchandise based on Frozen and Star Wars.

The increase in parks licensing and other revenue was driven by an increase in royalties from Tokyo Disney Resort and higher sponsorship revenues.

In addition to revenue, costs and operating income, management uses the following key metrics to analyze trends and evaluate the overall performance of our theme parks and resorts, and we believe these metrics are useful to investors in analyzing the business:

The increase in operating labor was attributable to higher volumes, inflation and increased costs for new guest offerings. Higher cost of goods sold and distribution costs were due to higher volumes and inflation, partially offset by a favorable Foreign Exchange Impact. The increase in infrastructure costs was primarily attributable to higher operations support costs and increased technology spending. Other operating expense increased primarily due to higher volumes and operations support costs.

Selling, general, administrative and other costs increased $162 million, to $899 million from $737 million, driven by a loss on the disposal of our ownership interest in Villages Nature, inflation and higher marketing spend.

Depreciation and amortization increased $50 million, to $643 million from $593 million, due to higher depreciation at our domestic parks and experiences.

*Segment Operating Income*

Segment operating income increased from $2.5 billion to $3.1 billion due to growth at our domestic parks and experiences and, to a lesser extent, our international parks and resorts.

operating cash flow at DPEP. The increase in operating cash flow at DPEP was due to higher operating cash receipts driven by higher revenue, partially offset by an increase in operating cash disbursements due to higher operating expenses. Operating cash flows at DMED were comparable to the prior-year quarter as higher operating cash receipts and lower operating cash disbursements were largely offset by higher spending on film and television content. Higher operating cash receipts at DMED were due to higher revenue, while lower operating cash disbursements were driven by the timing of operating cash disbursements, partially offset higher operating expenses.

*Produced and licensed programming costs*

The DMED segment incurs costs to produce and license feature film and television content. Film and television production costs include all internally produced content such as live-action and animated feature films, television series, television specials and theatrical stage plays. Programming costs include film or television content rights licensed from third parties for use on the Company's Linear Networks and DTC services. Programming assets are generally recorded when the programming becomes available to us with a corresponding increase in programming liabilities.

The Company's film and television production and programming activity for the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 are as follows:

**Investing Activities**

Investing activities consist principally of investments in parks, resorts and other property and acquisition and divestiture activity. The Company's investments in parks, resorts and other property for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 are as follows:

---

| Corporate | **164** | 153 |
|  | $**1181** | $981 |

---

Capital expenditures at the DMED segment primarily reflect investments in technology and in facilities and equipment for expanding and upgrading broadcast centers, production facilities and television station facilities. The increase in the current period compared to the prior-year period was due to higher technology spending to support our streaming services.

Capital expenditures for the DPEP segment are principally for theme park and resort expansion, new attractions, cruise ships, capital improvements and technology. The increase in the current period compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to spending on cruise ship fleet expansion.

Capital expenditures at Corporate primarily reflect investments in corporate facilities, technology and equipment.

The Company currently expects its fiscal 2023 capital expenditures to be approximately $6 billion. Fiscal 2022 spend was $5 billion. The expected increase in capital expenditures is due to higher spending across the enterprise.

**Financing Activities**

Cash used in financing activities was $1.0 billion in the current quarter compared to $0.3 billion in the prior-year quarter. Cash used in financing activities in the current quarter was due to the purchase of a redeemable non-controlling interest, partially offset by the sale of a non-controlling interest.

See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the Company's borrowing activities during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and information regarding the Company's bank facilities. The Company may use operating cash flows, commercial paper borrowings up to the amount of its unused $12.25 billion bank facilities and incremental term debt issuances to retire or refinance other borrowings before or as they come due.

The Company's operating cash flow and access to the capital markets can be impacted by factors outside of its control. We believe that the Company's financial condition is strong and that its cash balances, other liquid assets, operating cash flows, access to debt and equity capital markets and borrowing capacity under current bank facilities, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements, contractual obligations, upcoming debt maturities as well as future capital expenditures related to the expansion of existing businesses and development of new projects. In addition, the Company could undertake other measures to ensure sufficient liquidity, such as continuing to not declare dividends (the Company did not pay a dividend with respect to fiscal 2022 operations and has not declared or paid a dividend with respect to fiscal 2023 operations); raising financing; suspending or reducing capital spending; reducing film and television content investments; or implementing furloughs or reductions in force.

The Company's borrowing costs can also be impacted by short- and long-term debt ratings assigned by nationally recognized rating agencies, which are based, in significant part, on the Company's performance as measured by certain credit metrics such as leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2022, Moody's Investors Service's long- and short-term debt ratings for the Company were A2 and P-1 (Stable), respectively, Standard and Poor's long- and short-term debt ratings for the Company were BBB+ and A-2 (Positive), respectively, and Fitch's long- and short-term debt ratings for the Company were A- and F2 (Stable), respectively. The Company's bank facilities contain only one financial covenant, relating to interest coverage of three times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including both intangible amortization and amortization of our film and television production and programming costs. On December 31, 2022, the Company met this covenant by a significant margin. The Company's bank facilities also specifically exclude certain entities, including the Asia Theme Parks, from any representations, covenants or events of default.

**SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

On March 20, 2019 as part of the acquisition of TFCF, The Walt Disney Company ("TWDC") became the ultimate parent of TWDC Enterprises 18 Corp. (formerly known as The Walt Disney Company) ("Legacy Disney"). Legacy Disney and TWDC are collectively referred to as "Obligor Group", and individually, as a "Guarantor". Concurrent with the close of the TFCF acquisition, $16.8 billion of TFCF's assumed public debt (which then constituted 96% of such debt) was exchanged for senior notes of TWDC (the "exchange notes") issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 20, 2019, between TWDC, Legacy Disney, as guarantor, and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the "TWDC Indenture") and guaranteed by Legacy Disney. On November 26, 2019, $14.0 billion of the outstanding exchange notes were exchanged for new senior notes of TWDC registered under the Securities Act, issued pursuant to the TWDC Indenture and guaranteed by Legacy Disney. In addition, contemporaneously with the closing of the March 20, 2019 exchange offer, TWDC entered into a guarantee of the registered debt securities issued by Legacy Disney under the Indenture dated as of September 24, 2001 between Legacy Disney and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "2001 Trustee") (as amended by the first supplemental indenture among Legacy Disney, as issuer, TWDC, as guarantor, and the 2001 Trustee, as trustee).

Other subsidiaries of the Company do not guarantee the registered debt securities of either TWDC or Legacy Disney (such subsidiaries are referred to as the "non-Guarantors"). The par value and carrying value of total outstanding and guaranteed registered debt securities of the Obligor Group at December 31, 2022 was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **TWDC** | **TWDC** | **Legacy Disney** | **Legacy Disney** |
| (in millions) | Par Value | Carrying Value | Par Value | Carrying Value |
| Registered debt with unconditional guarantee | $35361 | $35778 | $8123 | $7881 |

---

The guarantees by TWDC and Legacy Disney are full and unconditional and cover all payment obligations arising under the guaranteed registered debt securities. The guarantees may be released and discharged upon (i) as a general matter, the indebtedness for borrowed money of the consolidated subsidiaries of TWDC in aggregate constituting no more than 10% of all consolidated indebtedness for borrowed money of TWDC and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exclusions), (ii) upon the sale, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests or all or substantially all, or substantially as an entirety, the assets of Legacy Disney to a third party, and (iii) other customary events constituting a discharge of a guarantor's obligations. In addition, in the case of Legacy Disney's guarantee of registered debt securities issued by TWDC, Legacy Disney may be released and discharged from its guarantee at any time Legacy Disney is not a borrower, issuer or guarantor under certain material bank facilities or any debt securities.

Operations are conducted almost entirely through the Company's subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Obligor Group's cash flow and ability to service its debt, including the public debt, are dependent upon the earnings of the Company's subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to the Obligor Group, whether by dividends, loans or otherwise. Holders of the guaranteed registered debt securities have a direct claim only against the Obligor Group.

**COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

*Legal Matters*

As disclosed in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has exposure for certain legal matters.

*Guarantees*

See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*Tax Matters*

As disclosed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has exposure for certain tax matters.

*Contractual Commitments*

See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**OTHER MATTERS**

**Accounting Policies and Estimates**

We believe that the application of the following accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, require significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, including the accounting policies discussed below, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*Produced and Acquired/Licensed Content Costs*

We amortize and test for impairment of capitalized film and television production costs based on whether the content is predominantly monetized individually or as a group. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Production costs that are classified as individual are amortized based upon the ratio of the current period's revenues to the estimated remaining total revenues (Ultimate Revenues).

With respect to produced films intended for theatrical release, the most sensitive factor affecting our estimate of Ultimate Revenues is theatrical performance. Revenues derived from other markets subsequent to the theatrical release are generally highly correlated with theatrical performance. Theatrical performance varies primarily based upon the public interest and demand for a particular film, the popularity of competing films at the time of release and the level of marketing effort. Upon a film's release and determination of the theatrical performance, the Company's estimates of revenues from succeeding windows

------

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

and markets, which may include imputed license fees for content that is used on our DTC streaming services, are revised based on historical relationships and an analysis of current market trends.

With respect to capitalized television production costs that are classified as individual, the most sensitive factor affecting estimates of Ultimate Revenues is program ratings of the content on our licensees' platforms. Program ratings, which are an indication of market acceptance, directly affect the program's ability to generate advertising and subscriber revenues and are correlated with the license fees we can charge for the content in subsequent windows and for subsequent seasons.

Ultimate Revenues are reassessed each reporting period and the impact of any changes on amortization of production cost is accounted for as if the change occurred at the beginning of the current fiscal year. If our estimate of Ultimate Revenues decreases, amortization of costs may be accelerated or result in an impairment. Conversely, if our estimate of Ultimate Revenues increases, cost amortization may be slowed.

Production costs classified as individual are tested for impairment at the individual title level by comparing that title's unamortized costs to the present value of discounted cash flows directly attributable to the title. To the extent the title's unamortized costs exceed the present value of discounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess.

Produced content costs that are part of a group and acquired/licensed content costs are amortized based on projected usage, typically resulting in an accelerated or straight-line amortization pattern. The determination of projected usage requires judgment and is reviewed on a regular basis for changes. Adjustments to projected usage are applied prospectively in the period of the change. The most sensitive factors affecting projected usage are historical and estimated viewing patterns. If projected usage changes we may need to accelerate or slow the recognition of amortization expense.

Cost of content that is predominantly monetized as a group is tested for impairment by comparing the present value of the discounted cash flows of the group to the aggregate unamortized costs of the group. The group is established by identifying the lowest level for which cash flows are independent of the cash flows of other produced and licensed content. If the unamortized costs exceed the present value of discounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess and allocated to individual titles based on the relative carrying value of each title in the group. If there are no plans to continue to use an individual film or television program that is part of a group, the unamortized cost of the individual title is written-off immediately. Licensed content is included as part of the group within which it is monetized for purposes of impairment testing.

The amortization of multi-year sports rights is based on projections of revenues for each season relative to projections of total revenues over the contract period (estimated relative value). Projected revenues include advertising revenue and an allocation of affiliate revenue. If the annual contractual payments related to each season approximate each season's estimated relative value, we expense the related contractual payments during the applicable season. If estimated relative values by year were to change significantly, amortization of our sports rights costs may be accelerated or slowed.

*Revenue Recognition*

The Company has revenue recognition policies for its various operating segments that are appropriate to the circumstances of each business. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our revenue recognition policies.

*Pension and Postretirement Medical Plan Actuarial Assumptions*

The Company's pension and postretirement medical benefit obligations and related costs are calculated using a number of actuarial assumptions. Two critical assumptions, the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets, are important elements of expense and/or liability measurement, which we evaluate annually. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for estimated impacts of changes in these assumptions. Other assumptions include the healthcare cost trend rate and employee demographic factors such as retirement patterns, mortality, turnover and rate of compensation increase.

The discount rate enables us to state expected future cash payments for benefits as a present value on the measurement date. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations and increases pension and postretirement medical expense. The guideline for setting this rate is a high-quality long-term corporate bond rate. The Company's discount rate was determined by considering yield curves constructed of a large population of high-quality corporate bonds and reflects the matching of the plans' liability cash flows to the yield curves.

To determine the expected long-term rate of return on the plan assets, we consider the current and expected asset allocation, as well as historical and expected returns on each plan asset class. A lower expected rate of return on plan assets will increase pension and postretirement medical expense.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

*Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, Long-Lived Assets and Investments*

The Company is required to test goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and if current events or circumstances require, on an interim basis. The Company performs its annual test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in its fiscal fourth quarter.

Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. To test goodwill for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If it is, a quantitative assessment is required. Alternatively, the Company may bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative impairment test.

The qualitative assessment requires the consideration of factors such as recent market transactions, macroeconomic conditions, and changes in projected future cash flows of the reporting unit.

The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit to its carrying amount, and to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment of goodwill is recognized for the excess up to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

The impairment test for goodwill requires judgment related to the identification of reporting units, the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units including goodwill, and the determination of fair value of the reporting units. To determine the fair value of our reporting units, we apply what we believe to be the most appropriate valuation methodology for each of our reporting units. We generally use a present value technique (discounted cash flows) corroborated by market multiples when available and as appropriate. The discounted cash flow analyses are sensitive to our estimates of future revenue growth and margins for these businesses as well as the discount rates used to calculate the present value of future cash flows. In times of adverse economic conditions in the global economy, the Company's long-term cash flow projections are subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than usual. We believe our estimates are consistent with how a marketplace participant would value our reporting units. If we had established different reporting units or utilized different valuation methodologies or assumptions, the impairment test results could differ, and we could be required to record impairment charges.

To test its other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds its fair value. If it is, a quantitative assessment is required. Alternatively, the Company may bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative impairment test.

The qualitative assessment requires the consideration of factors such as recent market transactions, macroeconomic conditions, and changes in projected future cash flows.

The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess. Fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate.

The Company tests long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (triggering events) indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Once a triggering event has occurred, the impairment test employed is based on whether the Company's intent is to hold the asset for continued use or to hold the asset for sale. The impairment test for assets held for use requires a comparison of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the useful life of the significant assets of an asset group to the carrying amount of the asset group. An asset group is generally established by identifying the lowest level of cash flows generated by a group of assets that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and could include assets used across multiple businesses. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment would be measured as the difference between the fair value of the asset group and the carrying amount of the asset group. For assets held for sale, to the extent the carrying amount is greater than the asset's fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. Determining whether a long-lived asset is impaired requires various estimates and assumptions, including whether a triggering event has occurred, the identification of asset groups, estimates of future cash flows and the discount rate used to determine fair values.

The Company has investments in equity securities. For equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we consider forecasted financial performance of the investee companies, as well as volatility inherent in the external markets for these investments. If these forecasts are not met, impairment charges may be recorded.

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

We evaluate our allowance for credit losses and estimate collectability of accounts receivable based on historical bad debt experience, our assessment of the financial condition of individual companies with which we do business, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. In times of economic turmoil, including

------

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

COVID-19, our estimates and judgments with respect to the collectability of our receivables are subject to greater uncertainty than in more stable periods. If our estimate of uncollectible accounts is too low, costs and expenses may increase in future periods, and if it is too high, costs and expenses may decrease in future periods. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

*Contingencies and Litigation*

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, have accrued estimates of the probable and estimable losses for the resolution of these proceedings. These estimates are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies and have been developed in consultation with outside counsel as appropriate. From time to time, we are also involved in other contingent matters for which we accrue estimates for a probable and estimable loss. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to legal proceedings or our assumptions regarding other contingent matters. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information on litigation exposure.

*Income Tax* 

As a matter of course, the Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. From time to time, these audits result in proposed assessments. Our determinations regarding the recognition of income tax benefits are made in consultation with outside tax and legal counsel, where appropriate, and are based upon the technical merits of our tax positions in consideration of applicable tax statutes and related interpretations and precedents and upon the expected outcome of proceedings (or negotiations) with taxing and legal authorities. The tax benefits ultimately realized by the Company may differ from those recognized in our future financial statements based on a number of factors, including the Company's decision to settle rather than litigate a matter, relevant legal precedent related to similar matters and the Company's success in supporting its filing positions with taxing authorities.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

See Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding new accounting pronouncements.

**MARKET RISK**

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, commodity fluctuations and changes in the market values of its investments.

**Policies and Procedures**

In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, foreign currencies and commodities using a variety of financial instruments.

Our objectives in managing exposure to interest rate changes are to limit the impact of interest rate volatility on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swaps to manage net exposure to interest rate changes related to the Company's portfolio of borrowings. By policy, the Company targets fixed-rate debt as a percentage of its net debt between minimum and maximum percentages.

Our objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce volatility of earnings and cash flow in order to allow management to focus on core business issues and challenges. Accordingly, the Company enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the U.S. dollar equivalent value of its existing foreign currency assets, liabilities, commitments and forecasted foreign currency revenues and expenses. The Company utilizes option strategies and forward contracts that provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies to hedge probable, but not firmly committed, transactions. The Company also uses forward and option contracts to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities. The principal foreign currencies hedged are the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Chinese yuan and Canadian dollar. Cross-currency swaps are used to effectively convert foreign currency denominated borrowings to U.S. dollar denominated borrowings. By policy, the Company maintains hedge coverage between minimum and maximum percentages of its forecasted foreign exchange exposures generally for periods not to exceed four years. The gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of the related exposures. The economic or political conditions in a country have reduced and in the future could reduce our ability to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in the country or our ability to repatriate revenue from the country.

Our objectives in managing exposure to commodity fluctuations are to use commodity derivatives to reduce volatility of earnings and cash flows arising from commodity price changes. The amounts hedged using commodity swap contracts are based on forecasted levels of consumption of certain commodities, such as fuel oil and gasoline.

------

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF**

**FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (continued)**

Our objectives in managing exposures to market-based fluctuations in certain retirement liabilities are to use total return swap contracts to reduce the volatility of earnings arising from changes in these retirement liabilities. The amounts hedged using total return swap contracts are based on estimated liability balances.

It is the Company's policy to enter into foreign currency and interest rate derivative transactions and other financial instruments only to the extent considered necessary to meet its objectives as stated above. The Company does not enter into these transactions or any other hedging transactions for speculative purposes.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings**

As disclosed in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is engaged in certain legal matters, and the disclosure set forth in Note 13 relating to certain legal matters is incorporated herein by reference.

**ITEM 1A. Risk Factors**

For an enterprise as large and complex as the Company, a wide range of factors could materially affect future developments and performance. In addition to the factors affecting specific business operations identified in connection with the description of these operations and the financial results of these operations elsewhere in our filings with the SEC, the most significant factors affecting our business include the factors discussed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and the following additional factors:

**BUSINESS, ECONOMIC, MARKET and OPERATING CONDITION RISKS**

**Regulations applicable to our businesses may impair the profitability of our businesses.**

Each of our businesses, including our broadcast networks and television stations, is subject to a variety of U.S. and international regulations. Some of these regulations include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. FCC regulation of our television and radio networks, our national programming networks and our owned television stations. See our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1 — Business — Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, Federal Regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Federal, state and foreign privacy and data protection laws and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Regulation of the safety and supply chain of consumer products and theme park operations, including potential regulation regarding the sourcing, importation and the sale of goods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Environmental protection regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S. and international anti-corruption laws, sanction programs, trade restrictions and anti-money laundering laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restrictions on the manner in which content is currently licensed and distributed, ownership restrictions or film or television content requirements, investment obligations or quotas.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Domestic and international labor laws, tax laws or currency controls.

New laws and regulations, as well as changes in any of these current laws and regulations or regulator activities in any of these areas, or others, may require us to spend additional amounts to comply with the regulations, or may restrict our ability to offer products and services in ways that are profitable, and create an increasingly unpredictable regulatory landscape. In addition, ongoing and future developments in international political, trade and security policy may lead to new regulations limiting international trade and investment and disrupting our operations outside the U.S., including our international theme parks and resorts operations in France, mainland China and Hong Kong. For example, in 2019 India implemented regulation and tariffs impacting certain bundling of channels; in 2022 the U.S. and other countries implemented a series of sanctions against Russia in response to events in Russia and Ukraine; U.S. agencies have enhanced trade restrictions, and legislation is currently under consideration that would prohibit importation of goods from certain regions; U.S. state governments have become more active in passing legislation targeted at specific sectors and companies; and in many countries/regions around the world (including but not limited to the EU) regulators are requiring us to broadcast on our linear (or display on our DTC streaming services) programming produced in specific countries as well as invest specified amounts of our revenues in local content productions.

Public health and other regional, national, state and local regulations and policies are impacting our ability to operate our businesses or operate in accordance with historic practice. In addition to the government requirements that have impacted most of our businesses as a result of COVID-19, government requirements may continue to be extended and new government requirements may be imposed to address COVID-19 or future health outbreaks or pandemics.

**A variety of uncontrollable events may disrupt our businesses, reduce demand for or consumption of our products and services, impair our ability to provide our products and services or increase the cost or reduce the profitability of providing our products and services.**

The operation and profitability of our businesses and demand for and consumption of our products and services, particularly our parks and experiences businesses, are highly dependent on the general environment for travel and tourism. In addition, we have extensive international operations, including our international theme parks and resorts, which are dependent on domestic and international regulations consistent with trade and investment in those regions. The operation of our businesses and the environment for travel and tourism, as well as demand for and consumption of our other entertainment products, can be

------

significantly adversely affected in the U.S., globally or in specific regions as a result of a variety of factors beyond our control, including: health concerns (including as it has been by COVID-19 and could be by future health outbreaks and pandemics); adverse weather conditions arising from short-term weather patterns or long-term climate change, catastrophic events or natural disasters (such as excessive heat or rain, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, droughts, tsunamis and earthquakes); international, political or military developments, including trade and other international disputes and social unrest; a decline in economic activity; and terrorist attacks. These events and others, such as fluctuations in travel and energy costs and computer virus attacks, intrusions or other widespread computing or telecommunications failures, may also damage our ability to provide our products and services or to obtain insurance coverage with respect to some of these events. An incident that affected our property directly would have a direct impact on our ability to provide goods and services and could have an extended effect of discouraging consumers from attending our facilities. Moreover, the costs of protecting against such incidents, including the costs of protecting against the spread of COVID-19, reduces the profitability of our operations.

For example, hurricanes, including Hurricane Ian in late September 2022, which caused Walt Disney World Resort parks in Florida to close for two days, have impacted the profitability of Walt Disney World Resort and may do so in the future. The Company has paused certain operations in certain regions, including in response to sanctions, trade restrictions and related developments and the profitability of certain operations has been impacted as a result of events in the corresponding regions.

In addition, we derive affiliate fees and royalties from the distribution of our programming, sales of our licensed goods and services by third parties, and the management of businesses operated under brands licensed from the Company, and we are therefore dependent on the successes of those third parties for that portion of our revenue. Third-party suppliers also provide products and services essential to the operation of a number of our businesses. A wide variety of factors could influence the success of those third parties and if negative factors significantly impacted a sufficient number of those third parties or materially impacted a supplier of a significant product or service, the profitability of one or more of our businesses could be adversely affected. In specific geographic markets, we have experienced delayed and/or partial payments from certain affiliate partners due to liquidity issues.

We obtain insurance against the risk of losses relating to some of these events, generally including certain physical damage to our property and resulting business interruption, certain injuries occurring on our property and some liabilities for alleged breach of legal responsibilities. When insurance is obtained it is subject to deductibles, exclusions, terms, conditions and limits of liability. The types and levels of coverage we obtain vary from time to time depending on our view of the likelihood of specific types and levels of loss in relation to the cost of obtaining coverage for such types and levels of loss and we may experience material losses not covered by our insurance. For example, many losses related to impacts of COVID-19 have not been covered by insurance.

**Labor disputes may disrupt our operations and adversely affect the profitability of one or more of our businesses.**

A significant number of employees in various parts of our businesses, including employees of our theme parks and writers, directors, actors, and production personnel for our productions are covered by collective bargaining agreements. In addition, some of our employees outside the U.S. are represented by works councils, trade unions or other employee associations. Further, the employees of licensees who manufacture and retailers who sell our licensed consumer products, and employees of providers of programming content (such as sports leagues) may be covered by labor agreements with their employers. From time to time, collective bargaining agreements and other labor agreements expire, requiring renegotiation of their terms. In general, labor disputes and work stoppages involving our employees; persons employed on our productions; or the employees of our licensees or retailers who sell our licensed consumer products or providers of programming content may disrupt our operations and reduce our revenues. Resolution of disputes or negotiation of new agreements, including rate increases and other changes to employee benefits, has in the past increased our costs and may increase our costs in the future.

## Exhibit 10.2

**Exhibit 10.2**

**THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY**

**<u>Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement</u>**

This AWARD AGREEMENT (the "**Agreement**") is between you, **<u>Participant Name</u>**, and The Walt Disney Company ("**Disney**"), in connection with the Non-Qualified Stock Option Award (the "**Option**") granted to you on **<u>Grant Date</u>**, by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Disney pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "**Plan**"), the applicable terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

This Option gives you the opportunity to purchase <u>####</u> shares of Common Stock of The Walt Disney Company at an exercise price of **<u>$Option Price</u>** per share. The exercise price is the average of the highest and the lowest market prices for the Common Stock on the above grant date as determined pursuant to the Plan.<sup>1</sup>

This Option may not be exercised before **<u>First Vest Date</u>**. On or after that date, subject to your continued employment by Disney or an affiliated company (as described further below) and to the other provisions of the Plan, you may exercise the Option with respect to the number of shares set forth opposite the first date below. As the subsequent dates set forth below occur, you may exercise as to the number of shares set forth opposite those dates:

**<u>Vest Date 1; Exercise Qty 1</u>** Shares

**<u>Vest Date 2; Exercise Qty 2</u>** Shares

**<u>Vest Date 3; Exercise Qty 3</u>** Shares<sup>2</sup>

---

| |
|:---|
| <sup>1</sup> With respect to Mr. Iger, for the November 20, 2022 grant date, the last trading day immediately preceding the grant date. |
| <sup>2</sup> With respect to Mr. Iger, notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, in the event Mr. Iger is actively employed with Disney or an Affiliate thereof on December 31, 2024, the total number of shares set forth opposite the third vesting date shall become fully vested and exercisable on and after December 31, 2024. |

---

------

Provided your employment continues, the term of this Option is ten years from the grant date and, therefore, expires on **<u>[insert tenth anniversary date of grant date]</u>**. If your employment should cease prior to the date on which your grant expires, your right to vest and exercise under the Option will be subject to early termination as provided in Sections 6.5, 12 and 13.2 of the Plan. Except under certain circumstances specified in such Sections, you will generally have the right of continued vesting and exercisability for three months following the date of termination of your employment (such period as it may hereinafter be extended in certain circumstances as provided below being the "Extended Vesting and Exercisability Period"), and any shares that vest during the Extended Vesting and Exercisability Period will be exercisable during such period (or, under certain circumstances, for such longer period as may be provided by the Plan).

You may exercise this Option as to all or part of the number of shares covered by the Option which are then vested by paying the aggregate exercise price and applicable withholding taxes on the gross gain. You will be provided with additional information at the time of exercise about the methods available for exercising your Option and paying your withholding taxes, in accordance with the methods of exercising options permitted under Section 6.6 of the Plan. You are urged to seek advice from your tax accountant or attorney when making decisions regarding the exercise of this Option. This Option may not be transferred or assigned.

Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, you agree by acceptance of this Option that, except for certain shares (the "Tax-Available Shares") that may be sold to pay taxes up to the Maximum Tax Liability (as defined below) upon an exercise of a portion of, or all of, this Option, you will hold, for not less than twelve months from the date of exercise of this Option, shares representing no less than **<u>[seventy-five percent (75%)]/[one hundred percent (100%)]</u>** of the shares acquired by you (other than Tax-Available Shares) upon such exercise; <u>provided, however,</u> that the foregoing obligation to hold such shares (and any similar obligation in any non-qualified stock option award previously granted to you) shall not be applicable at any time when you are already holding shares of Common Stock of Disney (including any outstanding restricted stock units (with or without performance-based vesting conditions) awarded to you by with a value equal to at least **<u>[three]/[five]</u>** times your base salary as in effect at such time (the "Disney Stock Ownership Requirement"). For purposes hereof the term "Maximum Tax Liability" shall mean the amount

------

calculated by multiplying total income recognized, as reported by Disney for Federal income tax purposes, upon an exercise of this Option, by a percentage determined as follows:

FR + SR (100-FR) + MR

where:

FR = the highest Federal income tax rate in effect at time of exercise of the Option;

SR = the highest state income tax rate, if any, in effect at the time of exercise of the Option in the state where your principle Disney office is located; and

MR = the Medicare tax rate in effect at time of exercise of the Option.

The number of whole shares acquired upon any exercise of the Options that may be sold to discharge the Maximum Tax Liability shall be determined by dividing the Maximum Tax Liability by the fair market value (as defined in Section 2 of the Plan) of one share of Disney common stock on the date of exercise of the Option and disregarding any fractional amount resulting from such calculation.

For the purposes hereof, your commitment to hold the percentage of shares referred to above for not less than twelve months unless you are already in compliance with the Disney Stock Ownership Requirement shall constitute an undertaking by you not to sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, except for certain transfers to "family members" and certain others permitted with the prior approval of the Committee pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Plan, any of such shares during such period.

If you are employed pursuant to an employment agreement with Disney, any provisions thereof relating to the effect of a termination of your employment upon your rights with respect to this Option, including, without limitation, any provision regarding acceleration of this Option, shall be

------

fully applicable and shall supersede the provisions hereof relating to the same subject matter, but in no event shall the restriction on sale of shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option referred herein apply after any termination of your employment with Disney.

In the event that your employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, or "cause" (as further provided in the Plan) at a time when (i) you have attained the age of sixty and have completed at least ten consecutive Service Years (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) at least one year has passed since the Grant Date of this Option, then notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, the Extended Vesting and Exercisability Period shall continue until the earlier of five years from the date of termination of your employment or the expiration date of this Option as provided above; provided, however, that in the event of your death during such period, all remaining unvested Tranches of this Option shall vest immediately upon such event and thereafter all remaining unexercised Tranches (or portions thereof) of this Option shall be exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of 18 months from date of death or the expiration date of this Option.

In the event that your employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, "cause" (as provided in Section 12 of the Plan) or a sixty and ten Termination, at a time when (i) you have attained the age of fifty-five and have completed at least three consecutive Service Years, and notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, you may continue to exercise any portion of your stock options that shall have become vested (including during the three month period after your date of termination included in Extended Vesting and Exercisability Period) until the earlier of 18 months from the date of termination of your active employment or the expiration date of this Stock Option Award (the "Additional Exercisability Period").

For purposes of the foregoing, "**Service Year**" shall mean any calendar year during which you have been continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof for the entire calendar year. In determining the total number of consecutive Service Years that you have been so employed, the

------

Company shall apply such rules regarding the bridging of service as the Committee may adopt from time to time.

Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, if you are employed pursuant to an employment agreement with Disney or an Affiliate which provides under certain circumstances for the continued vesting and/or exercisability of this Option in the event of the termination of such employment agreement prior to its scheduled expiration date (a "**Contractual Extension Provision**"), then, except as otherwise expressly provided in such employment agreement, (i) this Option shall be interpreted and applied in all respects to have the same effect as if you had remained continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof from the Grant Date of this Option through the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement and (ii) the date of termination of your employment for all purposes hereunder shall be deemed to be the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement.

Solely for purposes of (i) determining whether, and to what extent, the Participant shall have become eligible to exercise all or any portion of this Option and (ii) determining the period during which any vested portion of this Option remains exercisable following termination of the Participant's employment, the Participant shall be deemed to have continued in employment (without duplication of any service credit afforded with respect to a Contractual Extension Provision, as defined below) with Disney or an Affiliate during any period for which the Company provides Participant pay in lieu of notice in connection with The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as currently in effect and as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law applicable to the Participant.

You expressly authorize and consent to the collection, possession, use, retention and transfer of your personal data, whether in electronic or other form, by and among Disney, its Affiliates, third-party administrator(s) and other possible recipients, in each case for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, facilitating and/or managing your Awards under, and participation in, the Plan. Such personal data may include, without limitation, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, Social Security Number, social insurance number or other identification number, salary,

------

nationality, job title and other job-related information, tax information, the number of Disney shares held or sold by you, and the details of all Awards (including any information contained in this Award and all Award-related materials) granted to you, whether exercised, unexercised, vested, unvested, cancelled or outstanding ("**Data**"). You acknowledge, understand and agree that Data will be transferred to Merrill Lynch, which is assisting Disney with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, and/or to such other third-party plan administrator(s) and/or recipients as may be selected by Disney in the future. You understand that one or more of the administrators or recipients of Data may be located in countries other than the country of your current residence, and that such other countries may have data privacy laws and protections different from, and less protective than, the laws and protections of the country of your current residence, the Member States of the European Union or any other country to which you may be at any time relocated.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Note: Non-Qualified Stock Options are granted and vested in the United States. You are responsible for any applicable taxes whether you are in the United States or any other country. At the time of exercise, Disney will withhold any minimum statutory local or U.S. taxes, as applicable.

## Exhibit 10.3

**Exhibit 10.3**

**THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY**

**Schedule of Provisions for Certain**

**Time-Vested Restricted Stock Unit Awards**

**Pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan**

AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of **<u>Dated</u>** between The Walt Disney Company, a Delaware corporation ("Disney"), and **<u>Participant Name</u>** (the "**Participant**"). This Award is granted on **<u>Grant Date</u>** (the "**Date of Grant**") by the Compensation Committee of the Disney Board of Directors (the "**Committee**").

Section 1. <u>Restricted Stock Unit Award.</u> Disney hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, an Award of **<u>####</u>** Restricted Stock Units. This schedule relates to an Award of "Restricted Stock Units" (the "Award Agreement") pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "**Plan**") by Disney. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The Award referred to herein constitutes a "Stock Unit Award" under the Plan. The Restricted Stock Units are notional units of measurement denominated in shares of Common Stock of Disney ("**Shares**") (i.e., one Restricted Stock Unit is equivalent in value to one Share, subject to the terms hereof). The Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded, unsecured obligation of Disney. This Award is subdivided into three "tranches," each of which constitute one third of the Award.

Section 2. <u>Vesting Requirements.</u> Subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as provided in Section 3 below and to the terms of Section 6 below regarding extended vesting, your right to receive payment of this Award shall become vested only if you remain continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate from the date hereof (i) in the case of the first tranche, until the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, (ii) in the case of the second tranche, until the second anniversary of the Date of Grant and (iii) in the case of the third tranche, until the third anniversary of the Date of Grant. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3 or 6 below, if the service vesting requirements of this Section 2 are not satisfied for a tranche, the applicable number of Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and your rights with respect thereto shall cease. All Restricted Stock Units for which the requirements of this Section 2 have been satisfied shall become vested and shall thereafter be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

Section 3. <u>Accelerated Vesting.</u> Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of Section 2 hereof, upon your death or Disability (to the extent permitted under applicable local law), or upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event within the 12-month period following a Change in Control (in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan as in effect on the date hereof), this Award shall become fully vested and shall be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof to the extent that it has not previously been forfeited.

Section 4. <u>Dividend Equivalents.</u> Any dividends paid in cash or Shares will be credited to you as additional Restricted Stock Units as if the Restricted Stock Units you previously held were outstanding Shares, as follows: such credit shall be made in whole Restricted Stock Units only (rounded downward to the nearest whole unit) and shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of payment of such dividend. All such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same vesting requirements applicable to the Restricted Stock Units in respect of which they were credited and shall be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

Section 5. <u>Payment of Award.</u> Payment of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made within 30 days of the applicable vesting date under Section 2 hereof as of which the vesting requirements under Section 2 hereof shall have been satisfied with respect to any tranche (or within 30 days of the acceleration of vesting under Section 3 hereof). The Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash or in Shares (or some combination thereof), as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of payment, and in either case shall be paid to you after satisfaction of any withholding obligation for all income tax, social insurance contributions, National Insurance contributions,

------

payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you ("Tax-Related Items") in the amount determined by the Committee.

Section 6. <u>Extended Vesting.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In the event that your employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or "cause" (as provided in Section 12 of the Plan) at a time when (i) you have attained the age of 60 and have completed at least 10 consecutive Service Years (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) at least one year has passed since the Date of Grant, then the remaining then unvested tranche(s) of this Award shall vest in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof in the same manner as if your employment had continued through the scheduled vesting date(s) of such tranche(s); provided, however, that in the event of your death prior to any such scheduled vesting date(s), all remaining then unvested tranche(s) of this Award shall vest and be payable immediately upon such event. For purposes of the foregoing, "Service Year" shall mean any 12-month period during which you were continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof. In determining the total number of consecutive Service Years that you have been so employed, Disney shall apply such rules regarding the bridging of service as the Committee may adopt from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, if at the time of termination of employment (other than upon the scheduled expiration date of an employment agreement) you are employed pursuant to an employment agreement with Disney or an Affiliate which provides under certain circumstances for the continued vesting of any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award in the event of the termination of such employment agreement prior to its scheduled expiration date (a "Contractual Extension Provision"), then, except as otherwise provided in such employment agreement, (i) this Section 6 shall be interpreted and applied in all respects as if you had remained continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof from the Date of Grant through the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement and (ii) the date of termination of your employment for all purposes under this Section 6 shall be deemed to be the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Solely for purposes of determining whether, and to what extent, you have satisfied the service vesting requirement in Section 2, you will be deemed to have continued in employment (without duplication of any service credit afforded with respect to a Contractual Extension Provision) with Disney or an Affiliate during any period for which the Company provides you with pay in lieu of notice in connection with The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as currently in effect and as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law applicable in your jurisdiction.

Section 7. <u>Responsibility for Taxes.</u> Restricted Stock Units are granted and vested in the United States. At the time of vesting, if you are a U.S. taxpayer, Disney will withhold all U.S. federal, state and local taxes as required by applicable law at the then-current rate for supplemental wage income. If you are resident outside the U.S., you shall be responsible for the payment of all Tax-Related Items, and Disney will either withhold the Tax-Related Items as required by applicable law, or, alternatively, you will be required to pay the Tax-Related Items directly or, where permitted by applicable law with respect to fringe benefits or employer social taxes, to reimburse Disney or, if different, the Affiliate by whom you are employed (the "Employer") for the Tax-Related Items paid by Disney or the Employer.

Regardless of any action Disney or the Employer takes with respect to any Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld and reported by Disney or the Employer, if any, whether you are in the United States or any other country. You further acknowledge that Disney and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant

------

to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that Disney and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Additionally, you acknowledge that if you have relocated from one jurisdiction to another during the life of the award, it is your responsibility to consult with your tax advisor to ensure the appropriate amount is reported to each jurisdiction and taxed accordingly. You also acknowledge that it is your responsibility to ensure that all information related to your prior and current work and residency locations are correct in Disney and/or the Employer's internal system of record.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Disney and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, you authorize Disney and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you by Disney and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by Disney (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

Disney may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you shall pay to Disney or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Disney or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Disney may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your Tax-Related Items obligations.

Section 8. <u>Restrictions on Transfer.</u> Neither this Award nor any Restricted Stock Units covered hereby may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by you, other than to Disney as a result of forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units as provided herein.

Section 9. <u>No Voting Rights.</u> The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Award, whether or not vested, will not confer any voting rights upon you, unless and until the Award is paid in Shares.

Section 10. <u>Award Subject to Plan.</u> This Restricted Stock Unit Award is subject to the terms of the Plan, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event of a conflict or ambiguity between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the Plan will govern and prevail.

Section 11. <u>Changes in Capitalization.</u> The Restricted Stock Units under this Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan relating to adjustments for changes in corporate capitalization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by Disney in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and

**Pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan**

**(Three-Year/Two-Year**<sup>1</sup> **Vesting subject to Total Shareholder Return/ROIC Tests)**

AWARD AGREEMENT, dated as of **<u>Date</u>** between The Walt Disney Company, a Delaware corporation ("**Disney**"), and **<u>Participant Name</u>** (the "**Participant**"). This Award is granted on **<u>Grant Date</u>** (the "**Date of Grant**") by the Compensation Committee of the Disney Board of Directors (the "**Committee**") pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "**Plan**").

Section 1. **<u>Restricted Stock Unit Award</u>**<u>.</u> Disney hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, an Award for a target number of Stock Units of **<u>####</u>** (such target number of Stock Units, together with such number of additional whole or fractional Stock Unit(s), if any, as may from time to time be credited with respect thereto (as dividend equivalents) pursuant to Section 4 hereof, being referred to herein as the "**Target Award Amount**"). The number of Stock Units which may be awarded hereunder is dependent upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and may range from no Stock Units to 200% of the Target Award Amount. The Stock Units are notional units of measurement denominated in Shares of Disney (i.e., one Stock Unit is equivalent in value to one Share, subject to the terms hereof). The Stock Units represent an unfunded, unsecured obligation of Disney.

Section 2. **<u>Vesting Requirements</u>**<u>.</u> The vesting of this Award (other than pursuant to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as provided in Section 3 below or vesting pursuant to Section 6 below) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in each of subsections A and B, as applicable, **and**, in each case, subsection C of this Section 2:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.**Total Shareholder Return Test.** The vesting of fifty percent of the Stock Units subject to this Award (the "**TSR Target Award Amount**") shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of a performance vesting requirement (the "**TSR Performance Requirement**") based on Total Shareholder Return of Disney as compared to the Total Shareholder Returns of the S&P 500 Companies, in each case, with respect to the [three]/[two]-year period ending on the Determination Date (as each such term is defined below). To satisfy the TSR Performance Requirement, the TSR Percentile (as hereinafter defined) of Disney must equal or exceed the TSR Percentile of 25.00% of the S&P 500 Companies (the "**S&P 25**<sup>th</sup> **TSR Percentile**"). If this requirement is met, the number of Stock Units as to which the TSR Performance Requirement shall be satisfied shall be determined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.If the TSR Percentile of Disney is equal to "**S&P 25**<sup>th</sup> **TSR Percentile**", then the number of Stock Units which shall satisfy the TSR Performance Requirement shall be 50% of the TSR Target Award Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.If the TSR Percentile of Disney is equal to "**S&P 55**<sup>th</sup> **TSR Percentile**", then the number of Stock Units which shall satisfy the TSR Performance Requirement shall be 100% of the TSR Target Award Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.If the TSR Percentile of Disney equals or exceeds the TSR Percentile of 75.00% of the S&P 500 Companies (the "**S&P 75**<sup>th</sup> **TSR Percentile**"), the number of Stock

<sup>1</sup>With respect to Mr. Iger, two-year vesting; with respect to all other NEOs, three-year vesting.

Units which shall satisfy the TSR Performance Requirement shall be 200% of the TSR Target Award Amount.\*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.If the TSR Percentile of Disney exceeds the S&P 25<sup>th</sup> TSR Percentile but is less than the S&P 55<sup>th</sup> TSR Percentile, or exceeds the S&P 55<sup>th</sup> TSR Percentile but is less than the S&P 75<sup>th</sup> TSR Percentile, the percentage of Stock Units as to which the TSR Performance Requirement shall have been satisfied shall be determined by mathematical interpolation between 50% and 100% or 100% and 200%, as applicable. For example, if the TSR Percentile of Disney is 35.00%, then Stock Units equal to 66.67% of the TSR Target Award Amount shall have satisfied the TSR Performance Requirement; if the TSR Percentile of Disney is 60.00%, then 125.00% of the TSR Target Award Amount shall have satisfied the TSR Performance Requirement.

For the purposes hereof, the terms set forth below shall have the following meanings:

"**Determination Date**" shall mean the date which precedes the Scheduled Vesting Date (as hereinafter defined) by one month. For example, for an Award vesting on a January 14 of any specified year, the Determination Date of such Award is December 14 of the prior year.

"**Total Shareholder Return**" shall mean an amount equal to the average of the total return figures for the [three]/[two]-year periods ending on the twenty (20) trading days referred to below as currently reported under "Comparative Returns" by Bloomberg L.P.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)for any other S&P 500 Company,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. **ROIC Test**. The vesting of the remaining fifty percent of the Stock Units subject to this Award (the "**ROIC Target Award Amount**") shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of a performance vesting requirement (the "**ROIC Performance Requirement**") based upon Average ROIC with respect to the [three]/[two]-fiscal year period commencing with the fiscal year in which the Award is made (the "**ROIC Performance Period**"). To satisfy the ROIC Performance Requirement, the Committee must determine that the Average ROIC with respect to the ROIC Performance Period equals or exceeds the ROIC Threshold. If this requirement is met, the number of Stock Units as to which the ROIC Performance Requirement shall be satisfied shall be determined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.If Average ROIC equals the ROIC Threshold, then the number of Stock Units which shall satisfy the ROIC Performance Requirement shall be 50% of the ROIC Target Award Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.If Average ROIC equals or exceeds the ROIC Maximum, the number of Stock Units which shall satisfy the ROIC Performance Requirement shall be 200% of the ROIC Target Award Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.If Average ROIC is above one but below the next performance level specified above, the number of Stock Units which shall satisfy the ROIC Performance Requirement shall be determined by mathematical interpolation between such two performance levels.

For the purposes hereof, the terms set forth below shall have the following meanings:

"**Annual After-Tax Operating Performance**" with respect to any fiscal year means the sum of (i) and (ii), minus (iii), where (i), (ii) and (iii) are:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, segment operating income and corporate and unallocated shared expenses as referenced in (i) and (ii) above shall be subject to such adjustments thereto as the Committee deems appropriate in its sole discretion (<u>x</u>) to exclude the effect of extraordinary, unusual and/or nonrecurring items and (<u>y</u>) to reflect such other factors as the Committee deems appropriate to fairly reflect operating performance for the applicable fiscal year.

------

"**Average ROIC**" shall mean the percentage equal to the average of the ROIC determined separately for each of the [three]/[two] fiscal years in the ROIC Performance Period.

"**Invested Capital**" as of the end of any fiscal year means the remainder of (i) minus (ii), where (i) and (ii) are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Disney's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as such last day of such fiscal years,

in the case of each item in clause (i) or (ii)(1), (2) and (3) above, as reported in Disney's audited financial statements for such fiscal year, but subject to adjustment by the Committee, by no later than the Scheduled Vesting Date, to take into account any factors or occurrences (such as an acquisition of assets in exchange for stock or a disposition of assets in a spin-off or similar transaction) which the Committee determines inequitably and substantially enlarge or diminish the rights of the Participant and other Plan participants with respect to the Award and similar awards granted under the Plan.

For the avoidance of any doubt, Non-Interest Bearing Liabilities exclude liabilities related to deferred taxes, pension, retirement and leases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. **<u>Service Vesting Requirement</u>**. In addition to whichever of the performance vesting requirements of subsection A or B of this Section 2 is applicable to a stated portion of the Stock Units subject to this Award, the right of the Participant to receive payment of this Award shall become vested only if he or she remains continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate from the date hereof until the Scheduled Vesting Date.

------

If the service vesting requirements of this Section 2.C are not satisfied, all of the Stock Units subject to this Award shall be immediately forfeited and the Participant's rights with respect thereto shall cease.

All Stock Units for which all of the requirements of this Section 2 have been satisfied shall become vested and shall thereafter be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof. Subject to the terms, conditions and performance-based vesting requirements set forth herein, the Stock Units subject to this Award will vest on the [third]/[second] anniversary date of the Date of Grant (the "**Scheduled Vesting Date**").

Section 3. **<u>Accelerated Vesting</u>**<u>.</u> Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of Section 2 hereof, upon the Participant's death or disability (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), or upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event within the 12-month period following a Change in Control (in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan as in effect as of the date of the Triggering Event), in any case, prior to the Scheduled Vesting Date, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply to determine the extent to which the Participant's Restricted Stock Units that have not previously been forfeited shall become vested. If such death, disability or Triggering Event occurs while the Participant is employed by Disney (or an affiliate) and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.prior to the Determination Date, this Award shall become fully vested (provided that, for this purpose, the performance conditions applicable under subsection A or B of Section 2 shall in each case be deemed to have been satisfied at the 50th percentile of comparative performance), or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.after the Determination Date but before the Scheduled Vesting Date, then the number of Restricted Stock Units which shall become vested shall be determined on the same basis as if the Participant had been continuously employed by Disney (or an Affiliate) until the Scheduled Vesting Date.

Any Restricted Stock Units that become vested pursuant to this Section 3 shall be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

Section 4. **<u>Dividend Equivalents</u>**<u>.</u> Any dividends paid in cash on Shares of Disney will be credited to the Participant as additional Restricted Stock Units as if the Restricted Stock Units previously held by the Participant were outstanding Shares, as follows: such credit shall be made in whole Restricted Stock Units only (rounded downward to the nearest whole unit) and shall be based on the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) of the Shares on the date of payment of such dividend. All such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same vesting requirements applicable to the Restricted Stock Units in respect of which they were credited and shall be payable in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

Section 5. **<u>Payment of Award</u>**. Payment of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made within 30 days following the applicable date under Section 2 hereof as of which the vesting requirements under Section 2 hereof shall have been satisfied with respect to any tranche, as applicable (or within 30 days following acceleration of vesting under Section 3 hereof, if applicable). The Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash or in Shares (or some combination thereof), as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of payment, and in either case shall be paid to the Participant after deduction of applicable withholding taxes in the amount determined by the Committee. If the Participant is a U.S. taxpayer, Disney will withhold all U.S. federal and state taxes as required by law at the then-current rate for supplemental wage income as applicable. If the Participant is resident in a foreign country, the Participant shall be responsible for the payment of any applicable local country taxes, including, without limitation, income taxes, social security taxes, and fringe benefit taxes, and Disney will either withhold such taxes as required by local law, or, alternatively, Participant will be required to pay such taxes

------

directly or, where permitted by local law with respect to fringe benefit taxes, to reimburse Disney or the affiliated entity by whom you are employed for such taxes paid by Disney or such affiliated entity.

Section 6. **<u>Extended Vesting</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event that Participant's employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason other than death, disability or "cause" (as further provided in the Plan) at a time when (i) the Participant has attained the age of sixty and has completed at least ten consecutive Service Years (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) at least one year has passed since the Date of Grant of this Award,<sup>2</sup> then the remaining then unvested tranche(s) of this Award shall vest in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof in the same manner as if Participant's employment had continued through the scheduled vesting date(s) of such tranche(s). For purposes of the foregoing, "Service Year" shall mean any full 12-month period during which the Participant was continuously employed by Disney or an affiliate thereof. In determining the total number of consecutive Service Years that the Participant has been so employed, Disney shall apply such rules regarding the bridging of service as the Committee may adopt from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, if at the time of termination of employment (other than upon the scheduled expiration date of an employment agreement) Participant is employed pursuant to an employment agreement with Disney or an Affiliate which provides under certain circumstances for the continued vesting of any Stock Units subject to this Award in the event of the termination of such employment agreement prior to its scheduled expiration date (a "Contractual Extension Provision"), then, except as otherwise provided in such employment agreement, (i) this Section 6 shall be interpreted and applied in all respects as if Participant had remained continuously employed by Disney or an Affiliate thereof from the Date of Grant of this Award through the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement and (ii) the date of termination of Participant's employment for all purposes under this Section 6 shall be deemed to be the scheduled expiration date of such employment agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Solely for purposes of determining whether, and to what extent, the Participant shall have satisfied the service vesting requirement in Section **2.C**, the Participant shall be deemed to have continued in employment (without duplication of any service credit afforded with respect to a Contractual Extension Provision) with Disney or an Affiliate during any period for which such entity provides Participant pay in lieu of notice in connection with The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as currently in effect and as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law applicable to the Participant.<sup>3</sup>

Section 7. **<u>Restrictions on Transfer</u>**<u>.</u> Neither this Award nor any Restricted Stock Units covered hereby may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by the Participant, other than to Disney as a result of forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units as provided herein.

Section 8. **<u>No Voting Rights</u>**<u>.</u> The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Award, whether or not vested, will not confer any voting rights upon the Participant, unless and until the Award is paid in Shares.

Section 9. **<u>Award Subject to Plan</u>**<u>.</u> This Restricted Stock Unit Award is subject to the terms of the Plan, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event of a conflict or ambiguity between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the Plan will govern and prevail.

<sup>2</sup>With respect to Mr. Iger, the one-year requirement in Section 6(a)(ii) shall be waived if employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates on December 31, 2024.

<sup>3</sup>With respect to Mr. Iger, Section 6(c) is deleted.

------

Section 10. **<u>Changes in Capitalization</u>**<u>.</u> The Restricted Stock Units under this Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan relating to adjustments for changes in corporate capitalization.

Section 11. **<u>No Right of Employment</u>**<u>.</u> Nothing in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue as an employee of Disney or an Affiliate nor interfere in any way with the right of Disney or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant's employment at any time or to change the terms and conditions of such employment.

Section 12. **<u>Effect of Employment Agreement.</u>** If the Participant is employed pursuant to an employment agreement with Disney, any provisions thereof relating to the effect of a termination of the Participant's employment upon his or her rights with respect to this Award, including, without limitation, any provisions regarding acceleration of vesting and/or payment of this Award in the event of termination of employment, shall be fully applicable and supersede any provisions hereof with respect to the same subject matter.

Section 13. **<u>Data Privacy</u>**<u>.</u> The Participant expressly authorizes and consents to the collection, possession, use, retention and transfer of personal data of the Participant, whether in electronic or other form, by and among Disney, its Affiliates, third-party administrator(s) and other possible recipients, in each case for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, facilitating and/or managing the Participant's Awards under, and participation in, the Plan. Such personal data may include, without limitation, the Participant's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, Social Security Number, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title and other job-related information, tax information, the number of Disney shares held or sold by the Participant, and the details of all Awards (including any information contained in this Award and all Award-related materials) granted to the Participant, whether exercised, unexercised, vested, unvested, cancelled or outstanding ("**Data**"). The Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that Data will be transferred to Merrill, which is assisting Disney with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, and/or to such other third-party plan administrator(s) and/or recipients as may be selected by Disney in the future. The Participant understands that one or more of the administrators or recipients of Data may be located in countries other than the country of Participant's current residence, and that such other countries may have data privacy laws and protections different from, and less protective than, the laws and protections of the country of Participant's current residence, the Member States of the European Union or any other country to which the Participant may be at any time relocated.

Section 14. **<u>Governing Law</u>**<u>.</u> This Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Note: Restricted Stock Units are granted and vested in the United States. You are responsible for any applicable taxes whether you are in the United States or any other country. At the time of vesting, Disney will withhold any minimum statutory local or U.S. taxes, as applicable.
