The definition of Adjusted OIBDA, the Reconciliation of FY 2016 and FY 2017 Adjusted OIBDA to Operating Income can be
found in the Company's Revised Historical Trending Schedules: 2015 - 2017 dated April 23, 2018
The Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based
compensation expense, certain impairment charges and other non-recurring material items that otherwise would impact the
comparability of results between periods. Adjusted OIBDA includes amortization expenses directly related to the Company's
revenue generating activities, including the amortization of feature film, television production and WWE Network
programming assets. The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted OIBDA is relevant and useful for investors because it
allows them to view the Company's segment performance in the same manner as the primary method used by management
to evaluate segment performance and to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Additionally, the Company
believes that Adjusted OIBDA provides a meaningful representation of operating cash flows generated by our business
segments, and is a primary measure used by media investors, analysts and peers for comparative purposes
Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Operating income, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Earnings per share exclude certain material
items, which otherwise would impact the comparability of results between periods. These should not be considered as an
alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or any other indicator of WWE's performance or liquidity, determined in
accordance with U.S. GAAP
The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures.
Although it is not a recognized measure of liquidity under U.S. GAAP, Free Cash Flow provides useful information regarding the
amount of cash WWE's continuing business generates after capital expenditures and is available for reinvesting in the business,
debt service, and payment of dividends
