Due to the timing of amortization, it will take a few years for the bulk of these savings to be reflected in the P&L.

Fiscal 2024 capital expenditures are projected to total $6 billion, an increase of approximately $1 billion vs. fiscal 2023, driven by higher spend at Experiences. • Capital expenditures at Experiences in fiscal 2024 will look more comparable to fiscal year 2019 and includes spend at our Cruise business ahead of the launch of three new ships in fiscal 2025 and 2026.

International Parks & Experiences Our international operations continued their strong performance trend in the quarter, with significant growth across all sites vs. the prior year. An increase in operating results at Shanghai Disney Resort was due to higher guest spending and volumes. • Higher operating income at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort was due to increased guest spending and higher volumes, partially offset by higher costs from new guest offerings and inflation.

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. Paid subscribers Paid subscribers reflect subscribers for which we recognized subscription revenue. 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 the service is distributed 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. International Disney+ (excluding Disney+ Hotstar) International Disney+ (excluding Disney+ Hotstar) includes the Disney+ service outside the U.S. and Canada and the Star+ service in Latin America. Average Monthly Revenue Per Paid Subscriber (ARPU) Hulu and ESPN+ average monthly revenue per paid subscriber is calculated based on the average of the monthly average paid subscribers for each month in the period. 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 or wholesale 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. ⒸDisney Fourth Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2023 19#21Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes total segment operating income, diluted EPS excluding certain items, DTC streaming businesses operating losses, and free cash flow, all of which are important financial measures for the Company, but are not financial measures defined by GAAP. These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of income from continuing operations before income taxes, diluted EPS, Entertainment and Sports segment operating income (loss), or cash provided by continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Total segment operating income, diluted EPS excluding certain items, DTC streaming businesses operating income (loss), and free cash flow as we have calculated them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Total segment operating income 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 performance of operating businesses separate from non-operating factors. 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 non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing separate insight into both operations and other factors that affect reported results. Diluted EPS excluding certain items The Company uses diluted EPS excluding (1) certain items affecting comparability of results from period to period and (2) amortization of TFCF and Hulu intangible assets, including purchase accounting step- up adjustments for released content, to facilitate the evaluation of the performance of the Company's operations exclusive of these items, and these adjustments reflect how senior management is evaluating segment performance. The Company believes that providing diluted EPS exclusive of certain items impacting comparability is useful to investors, particularly where the impact of the excluded items is significant in relation to reported earnings and because the measure allows for comparability between periods of the operating ormance of the Company's business and allows investors to evaluate the impact of these items separately. The Company further believes that providing diluted EPS exclusive of amortization of TFCF and Hulu intangible assets associated with the acquisition in 2019 is useful to investors because the TFCF and Hulu acquisition was considerably larger than the Company's historic acquisitions with a significantly greater acquisition accounting impact. DTC Streaming Businesses The Company uses combined DTC streaming businesses operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of its portfolio of combined streaming businesses and track progress against the Company's goal of reaching profitability in Q4 of fiscal 2024 at its combined streaming businesses. Free Cash Flow The Company uses free cash flow (cash provided by continuing operations less investments in parks, resorts and other property), among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than capital expenditures. Management believes that information about free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to service debt obligations, make strategic acquisitions and investments and pay dividends or repurchase shares.
