Domestic results decreased at both Cable and Broadcasting. • Lower Cable results were largely due to higher sports programming and production costs, which were driven by the timing of costs for the College Football Playoffs and the NFL, in addition to NBA contractual rate increases and higher sports production costs. $7.1 Linear Networks $6.6 $5.5 $4.9 Direct-to-Consumer CSLO $1.9 Elimination of Intrasegment Revenues (1) ($0.3) ($0.3) • Q2'22 Q2'23 Linear Networks Direct-to-Consumer CSLO Operating Income (Loss) $2.8 $1.8 $0.0 ($0.1) ($0.9) Q2'22 ($0.7) Q2'23 Lower Broadcasting results reflected decreases in advertising revenue across the ABC Network and our owned television stations. International Channels operating income decreased due to lower advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in programming costs. Direct-to-Consumer Revenues increased by 12% and operating loss decreased by ~$200 million vs. the prior year due to improved results at Disney+ and ESPN+, partially offset by lower operating income at Hulu. Content Sales / Licensing and Other (CSLO) Operating results decreased by $66 million vs. the prior year due to lower TV/SVOD distribution results, partially offset by an improvement at theatrical distribution.

Domestic Parks growth in attendance and guest spending was more than offset by higher costs, reflecting cost pressures including wage increases, costs associated with new guest offerings and other inflationary cost impacts. International Parks & Experiences • Strong year-over-year operating income growth was driven by higher volumes and guest spending at Shanghai Disney Resort and Disneyland Paris, as well as a favorable comparison at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort due to a closure in the prior year. Consumer Products Decrease in operating income vs. the prior year included lower merchandise revenue on certain franchises.

These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of diluted EPS or income from continuing operations before income taxes as determined in accordance with GAAP. Diluted EPS excluding certain items and total segment operating income as we have calculated them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 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 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. See page 15 for a reconciliation of total segment operating income. 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 performance 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. ©Disney Second Fiscal Quarter Ended April 1, 2023 14#16Total Segment Operating Income (In millions) The following are reconciliations of income from continuing operations before income taxes to total segment operating income (in millions): Quarter Ended April 1, 2023 April 2, 2023 Change $2,123 $1,102 Income from continuing operations before income taxes 93 % Add (subtract): Content license early termination (1) 1,023 100% Corporate and unallocated shared expenses 279 272 (3%) Restructuring and impairment charges 152 195 (22%) Other (income) expense, net (149) 158 nm Interest expense, net 322 355 9% Amortization of TFCF and Hulu intangible assets and fair value step-up on film and television costs 558 594 6% Total segment operating income $3,285 $3,699 (11%) (1) In February 2022, the Company terminated certain license agreements with a customer for film and television content, which was delivered in previous years, in order for the Company to use the content primarily on our direct-toconsumer services (Content License Early Termination). ©Disney Second Fiscal Quarter Ended April 1, 2023 15#17Diluted EPS Excluding Certain Items (In millions except EPS) The following table reconciles reported diluted EPS from continuing operations to diluted EPS excluding certain items: (in millions except EPS) Pre-Tax Income/Loss Tax Benefit/ Expense (1) After-Tax Income/Loss (2) Diluted EPS (3) Change vs. prior year period Quarter Ended April 1, 2023 As reported $2,123 ($635) $1,488 $0.69 >100 % Exclude: Amortization of TFCF and Hulu intangible assets (4) 558 (130) 428 0.23 and fair value step-up on film and television costs (5) Restructuring and impairment charges" 152 (35) 117 0.06 Other Income, net (149) 35 (114) (0.06) Excluding certain items $2,684 ($765) $1,919 $0.93 (14%) Quarter Ended April 2, 2022 As reported $1,102 ($505) $597 $0.26 Exclude: Content license early termination 1,023 (238) 785 0.43 Amortization of TFCF and Hulu intangible assets 0.24 (4) 594 (138) 456 and fair value step-up on film and television costs Restructuring and impairment charges (5) 195 (45) 150 0.08 (6) Other expense, net 158 (37) 121 0.07 $3,072 ($963) $2,109 $1.08 Excluding certain items (1) Tax benefit/expense is determined using the tax rate applicable to the individual item.

Charges for the prior-year quarter were due to the impairment of an intangible asset related to the Disney Channel in Russia. (6) In the current quarter, other income, net was due to the DraftKings gain ($149 million). For the prior-year quarter, other expense, net was due to the DraftKings loss ($158 million). ©Disney Second Fiscal Quarter Ended April 1, 2023 16#18DTC Product Descriptions and Key Definitions Product offerings 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. 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 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. 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) 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 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 Second Fiscal Quarter Ended April 1, 2023 17
