OVERVIEW
Time Warner is a leading media and entertainment company whose major businesses encompass an array of the most respected and successful media brands. Among the Companys brands are TNT, TBS, CNN, HBO, Cinemax, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, People, Sports Illustrated and Time. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company generated Revenues of $6.939 billion (down 1% from $6.979 billion in 2012), Operating Income of $1.410 billion (up 13% from $1.247 billion in 2012), Net Income attributable to Time Warner shareholders of $720 million (up 23% from $583 million in 2012) and Cash provided by operations of $729 million (up 75% from $416 million in 2012). On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the complete legal and structural separation of the Companys Publishing segment from Time Warner (the Time Separation).
Time Warner Businesses
Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks, Film and TV Entertainment and Publishing. For additional information regarding Time Warners segments, refer to Note 12, Segment Information, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Networks. Time Warners Networks segment consists of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (Turner) and Home Box Office, Inc. (Home Box Office). During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Networks segment recorded Revenues of $3.695 billion (53% of the Companys total Revenues) and $1.268 billion in Operating Income.
Turner operates domestic and international television networks, including such recognized brands as TNT, TBS, truTV, CNN and Cartoon Network, which are among the leaders in advertising-supported television networks. The Turner networks generate revenues principally from providing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute this programming to subscribers and from the sale of advertising. In addition, Turner provides online and mobile offerings for on-demand viewing of programs on its networks and live streaming of CNN, HLN and Cartoon Network to authenticated subscribers. Turner also manages and operates various digital media properties that primarily consist of brand-aligned websites, including CNN.com, NBA.com and related properties, NCAA.com and cartoonnetwork.com that generate revenues principally from the sale of advertising and sponsorships.
Home Box Office operates the HBO and Cinemax domestic multi-channel premium pay television services, with the HBO service ranking as the most widely distributed domestic multi-channel premium pay television service. HBO- and Cinemax-branded premium pay and basic tier television services are distributed in more than 60 countries in Latin

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
America, Asia and Europe. HBO and Cinemax domestic premium pay television subscribers have access to the authenticated HBO GO and MAX GO streaming services, respectively, on various online and mobile platforms, and an authenticated HBO GO streaming service is available to international premium pay television subscribers of HBO in a number of countries. Home Box Office generates revenues principally from providing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute such programming to their customers who subscribe to the HBO or Cinemax services. Additional sources of revenues for Home Box Office are the sale of its original programming, including Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and True Blood, via DVDs, Blu-ray Discs and electronic sell-through (EST) and the licensing of original programming primarily to international television networks.
The Company expects that over the next several years subscription revenues generated by basic cable networks and premium pay television services in the industry will grow as a result of domestic affiliate rate increases driven by investments in high quality programming.
Film and TV Entertainment. Time Warners Film and TV Entertainment segment consists of businesses managed by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (Warner Bros.) that principally produce and distribute feature films, television shows and videogames. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Film and TV Entertainment segment recorded Revenues of $2.681 billion (36% of the Companys total Revenues) and $263 million in Operating Income.
The Film and TV Entertainment segments theatrical product revenues are generated principally through rental fees from theatrical exhibition of feature films, including the following recently released films: Argo, The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and subsequently through licensing fees received from the distribution of films on television networks and premium pay television services. Television product revenues are generated principally from the licensing of programs to television networks and premium pay television services. The segment also generates revenues for both its theatrical and television product through home video distribution on DVD and Blu-ray Discs and in various digital formats (e.g., EST and video-on-demand) as well as through licensing of feature films and television programming to broadband subscription video on demand (SVOD) services. In addition, the segment generates revenues through the development and distribution of videogames.
Warner Bros. continues to be an industry leader in the television content business. For the 2012-2013 season, Warner Bros. produced more than 50 series, with at least two series for each of the five broadcast networks (including 2 Broke Girls, Arrow, The Bachelor, The Big Bang Theory, The Following, The Middle, Mike & Molly, Person of Interest, Revolution, Two and a Half Men, Vampire Diaries and The Voice), several original series for cable television networks (including Dallas, Longmire, Major Crimes, Pretty Little Liars and Rizzoli & Isles) and several series for first-run syndication (including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Extra and TMZ). Internationally, Warner Bros. operates a group of local television production companies in the U.K. and the Netherlands that focus on developing non-scripted programs and formats that can be sold internationally and adapted for sale in the U.S. Warner Bros. also creates locally produced versions of programs owned by the studio as well as original local television programming.
The distribution and sale of physical discs (both standard definition DVDs and high definition Blu-ray Discs) is one of the largest contributors to the segments revenues and profits. However, in recent years, home video revenues have declined as a result of several factors, including consumers shifting to subscription rental services and discount rental kiosks, which generate significantly less revenue per transaction for the Company than physical disc sales; the general economic downturn in the U.S. and many regions around the world; increasing competition for consumer discretionary time and spending; and piracy. The electronic delivery of film and television content is growing and becoming more important to the Film and TV Entertainment segment, which has helped to offset some, but not all, of the decline in sales of physical discs. However, in 2012 and through the first quarter of 2013, the decline in consumer spending on physical discs moderated compared to prior years, while the growth in consumer spending on electronic delivery increased.
Publishing. Time Warners Publishing segment consists principally of Time Inc.s magazine publishing and related websites as well as book publishing and marketing businesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Publishing segment recorded Revenues of $737 million (11% of the Companys total Revenues) and $9 million in Operating Loss.
As of March 31, 2013, Time Inc. published 21 magazines in print in the U.S., including People, Sports Illustrated, InStyle and Time, and over 70 magazines outside the U.S. All of Time Inc.s U.S. magazines are available as tablet editions on multiple digital devices and platforms. The Publishing segment generates revenues primarily from the sale of advertising, magazine subscriptions and newsstand sales. The Publishing segment is experiencing declines in its print advertising and newsstand sales as a result of market conditions in the magazine publishing industry as well as the current economic environment. The Publishing segment is pursuing a
2

number of initiatives to help mitigate these declines, including conducting additional brand marketing; developing innovative ways to sell branded magazine content outside of traditional channels, including websites, tablets and other mobile devices; developing integrated advertising solutions that will provide greater data insight and value to advertisers; developing a new cross-platform content management system; and improving its operating efficiency through management of its cost structure.
Recent Developments
Time Inc. Separation from Time Warner
On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the Time Separation. The Time Separation is currently expected to be effected as a spin-off of Time Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. In the Time Separation, Time Warner will distribute all of its Time Inc. common stock to Time Warner stockholders, and Time Inc. will become an independent publicly-traded company. The Time Separation is contingent on the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 that Time Inc. will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Time Warner expects to complete the Time Separation by the end of the year.
Central European Media Enterprises Ltd.
On April 29, 2013, Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (CME) commenced a public offering of shares of its Class A common stock to raise up to approximately $200 million. In connection with this offering, Time Warner and CME entered into an arrangement in which the Company committed to exercise its preemptive rights to purchase its pro rata share of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the offering at the price paid by the public in the offering, which would maintain the Companys 49.9% economic interest. Additionally, subject to the consummation of the offering, the approval of CMEs shareholders and certain other conditions, Time Warner agreed to purchase $200 million of CMEs newly-issued non-voting convertible redeemable preferred stock. The Company may also purchase from CME additional preferred stock under certain circumstances in connection with the offering of the common stock. CME intends to seek shareholder approval of the issuance and sale of the preferred stock at its 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders. CME has agreed to use at least $300 million of the net proceeds from these transactions to retire outstanding indebtedness.

The increase in Subscription revenues mainly reflected an increase at the Networks segment, partially offset by a decrease at the Publishing segment. Advertising revenues declined slightly as a decrease at the Networks segment was partially offset by an increase at the Publishing segment. The decline in Content revenues was due primarily to a decrease at the Film and TV Entertainment segment.
Each of the revenue categories is discussed in greater detail by segment in Business Segment Results.
Costs of Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Costs of revenues decreased to $3.750 billion from $3.976 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, reflecting declines at all of the segments. The segment variations are discussed in Business Segment Results.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% to $1.620 billion from $1.575 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily related to increases at the Film and TV Entertainment, Corporate and Networks segments, partly offset by a decline at the Publishing segment.

Excluding the items noted under Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability totaling $30 million and $104 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, Operating Income increased $89 million, reflecting increases at the Networks and Film and TV Entertainment segments, partly offset by decreases at the Publishing and Corporate segments.

The Companys effective tax rate was 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 37% for three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in tax reserves, partially offset by the nondeductible impairment of the Companys investment in CME.

The increase in Subscription revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in domestic subscription revenues of $93 million driven largely by higher domestic rates and an increase in international subscription revenues of $22 million, mainly reflecting subscriber growth.
Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 declined slightly as domestic growth of $12 million was more than offset by lower international advertising revenues of $24 million, primarily reflecting lower international news demand and the absence of revenues from Turners general entertainment network, Imagine, in India and its TNT television operations in Turkey due to their shutdowns in the first half of 2012 (the Imagine and TNT Turkey Shutdowns). The domestic growth was mainly due to higher pricing, partially offset by fewer National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Mens Basketball Championship tournament (the NCAA Tournament) games in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the prior year quarter due to timing of the tournament and lower domestic news demand.
The decrease in Content revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was due primarily to the absence of revenues from Turners TNT television operations in Turkey due to its shutdown.

Costs of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was slightly lower than the comparable period in 2012. Originals and sports programming costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased slightly, mainly due to the timing of the NCAA Tournament games and lower impairments related to original series, partly offset by higher costs for originals. In addition, programming costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased due to lower programming costs related to the Imagine and TNT Turkey Shutdowns in 2012.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due primarily to higher marketing expenses.
As previously noted under Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability, the results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included a $12 million charge related to the impairment of certain Turner international intangible assets and an $8 million charge related to Turners decision in the first quarter of 2013 to shut down certain of its entertainment networks in Spain. This charge consisted of a $6 million impairment related to programming assets and a $2 million charge related to exit costs. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included a $58 million charge related to Turners decision in the first quarter of 2012 to shut down its general entertainment network in India. This charge consisted of $52 million of noncash charges primarily related to certain receivables, programming assets and long-lived assets and a $6 million charge related to exit costs.
The increase in Operating Income was due primarily to higher revenues and lower asset impairments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Subscription revenues decreased due to lower newsstand revenues of $18 million as well as lower domestic subscription revenues of $13 million, due in part to certain weekly titles having fewer issues than the prior year quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the transfer of the management of the SI.com and Golf.com websites to Time Inc. from Turner in the second quarter of 2012 had a positive effect on Advertising revenues of $12 million and a $9 million negative effect on Other revenues. This increase in Advertising revenues was partially offset by a slight decline in magazine advertising revenues.
Both Subscription revenues and Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were negatively impacted by market conditions in the magazine publishing industry as well as the current economic environment. The Company expects soft market conditions associated with the Publishing segments Subscription revenues and Advertising revenues to continue in the near term.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Description of Business
Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner or the Company) is a leading media and entertainment company, whose businesses include television networks, film and TV entertainment and publishing. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks: consisting principally of cable television networks, premium pay and basic tier television services and digital media properties; Film and TV Entertainment: consisting principally of feature film, television, home video and videogame production and distribution; and Publishing: consisting principally of magazine publishing and related websites as well as book publishing and marketing businesses. Financial information for Time Warners various reportable segments is presented in Note 12, Segment Information. See Note 2, Business Dispositions, for information regarding the separation of the Publishing segment from Time Warner.
Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all of the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Time Warner included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the 2012 Form 10-K).
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of entities in which Time Warner has a controlling interest (subsidiaries). Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial position and operating results of most of the Companys foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains or losses on assets and liabilities are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the March 31, 2013 presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for asset impairments, multiple-element transactions, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, the determination of ultimate revenues as it relates to amortization of capitalized film and programming costs and participations and residuals, home video and videogames product and magazine returns, business combinations, pension and other postretirement benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies, litigation matters, reporting revenue for certain transactions on a gross versus net basis, and the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities in which it holds variable interests.

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2013
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted guidance on a retrospective basis requiring disclosure of the line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations affected by reclassification adjustments out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 7, Shareholders Equity.
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted guidance on a retrospective basis requiring disclosure of additional information about the Companys ability to offset certain financial instruments, specifically derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 6, Derivative Instruments.
Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustments
On January 1, 2013, the Company early adopted guidance on a prospective basis that requires the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) related to a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity to be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in that subsidiary or group of assets and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity-method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment will be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. CTA will also be recognized in earnings in a step acquisition transaction. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Interim Impairment Testing of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets at Time Inc.
As discussed in more detail in Note 1, Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Policies, to the Companys consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K, Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, do not require that an annual impairment test be performed. Instead, long-lived assets are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. As a result of the Companys decision in March 2013 to spin off Time Inc., the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred and assessed Goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets at Time Inc. for impairment.
The first quarter 2013 impairment test did not result in an impairment of Goodwill at Time Inc. since the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Had the fair value of the Time Inc. reporting unit been less than its carrying value, the Company would have been required to perform the second step of the impairment review process to determine the ultimate amount of the impairment loss to record. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment test included a discount rate of 11.5% and a terminal growth rate of 2.5%.
Additionally, the impairment test did not result in any impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets at Time Inc. since the estimated fair value of such assets exceeded their respective carrying values. To illustrate the magnitude of potential impairment relative to future changes in estimated fair values, had the fair values of certain tradenames at Time Inc. with an aggregate carrying value of $539 million been hypothetically lower by 10% as of March 31, 2013, the aggregate carrying values of certain of those tradenames would have exceeded fair values by $34 million. The significant assumptions utilized in the impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets included a discount rate of 12.0% and a terminal growth rate of 2.5%.
The impairment test for long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, was based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows based on the use of the assets for their remaining useful life assuming the disposition transaction (i.e., the spin-off) will not occur. The impairment test did not result in any impairments of long-lived assets. For more information regarding the separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner, see Note 2, Business Dispositions.

2. | BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS |
Time Inc. Separation from Time Warner
On March 6, 2013, Time Warner announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to proceed with plans for the complete legal and structural separation of the Companys Publishing segment from Time Warner (the Time Separation). The Time Separation is currently expected to be effected as a spin-off of Time Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. In the Time Separation, Time Warner will distribute all of its Time Inc. common stock to Time Warner stockholders, and Time Inc. will become an independent publicly-traded company. The Time Separation is contingent on the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 that Time Inc. will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Time Warner expects to complete the Time Separation by the end of the year.
3. | INVESTMENTS |
CME
Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (CME) is a publicly-traded broadcasting company operating leading networks in six Central and Eastern European countries. The Companys investment in CME has been accounted for under the cost-method of accounting as a result of the Companys vote being controlled by CME founder and Non-Executive Chairman Ronald S. Lauder. Upon termination of the voting agreement, which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2013, the Company expects to begin accounting for its investment in CME under the equity-method of accounting and will recast its historical financial results and related financial statements to reflect such presentation historically from the date of the Companys initial investment. As of March 31, 2013, the Companys economic interest in CME was 49.9%. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an $88 million noncash impairment related to its investment in CME.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
A fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). The following table presents information about assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (millions):

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Other Financial Instruments
The Companys other financial instruments, including debt, are not required to be carried at fair value. Based on the interest rates prevailing at March 31, 2013, the fair value of Time Warners debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $4.115 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2012, the fair value of Time Warners debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $4.622 billion. The fair value of Time Warners debt was considered a Level 2 measurement as it was based on observable market inputs such as current interest rates and, where available, actual sales transactions. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash and generally are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity. The carrying value for the majority of the Companys other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments or because the financial instruments are of a longer-term nature and are recorded on a discounted basis. For the remainder of the Companys other financial instruments, differences between the carrying value and fair value were not significant at March 31, 2013. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. In cases where a quoted market value is not available, fair value is based on an estimate using present value or other valuation techniques.
Non-Financial Instruments
The majority of the Companys non-financial instruments, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of cost or its fair value.
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company was required to perform an impairment review of certain long-lived assets at a Turner international subsidiary. As a result of its review, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $12 million to write down the value of certain intangible assets to zero. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company was required to perform an impairment review of certain long-lived assets at Imagine, Turners general entertainment network in India. As a result of its review, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $19 million to write down the value of certain long-lived assets, primarily intangible assets, to zero. In both periods, the resulting fair value measurements were considered to be Level 3 measurements and were determined using a discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology with assumptions for cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposition of the assets.
In determining the fair value of its theatrical films, the Company employs a DCF methodology that includes cash flow estimates of a films ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the respective business (e.g., Warner Bros.) plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular theatrical film. The fair value of any theatrical film and television production that management plans to abandon is zero. As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, certain theatrical film and television production costs, which were recorded as inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, were written down to $4 million from their carrying value of $35 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, certain theatrical film and television production costs, which were recorded as inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, were written down to $39 million from their carrying value of $87 million.

6. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS |
Time Warner uses derivative instruments, principally forward contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The principal currencies being hedged include the British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Time Warner uses foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of three to 18 months to hedge various foreign exchange exposures, including the following: (i) variability in foreign-currency-denominated cash flows, such as the hedges of unremitted or forecasted royalty and license fees owed to Time Warners domestic companies for the sale or anticipated sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad or cash flows for certain film production costs denominated in a foreign currency (i.e., cash flow hedges) and (ii) currency risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated operating assets and liabilities (i.e., fair value hedges). For these qualifying hedge relationships, the Company excludes the impact of forward points from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. As a result, changes in the fair value of forward points are recorded in Other loss, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations each quarter.
The Company also enters into derivative contracts that economically hedge certain of its foreign currency risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. These economic hedges are used primarily to offset the change in certain foreign currency denominated long-term receivables and certain foreign-currency-denominated debt due to changes in the underlying foreign exchange rates.
Gains and losses from hedging activities recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, including hedge ineffectiveness, were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and were largely offset by corresponding economic gains or losses from the respective transactions that were hedged.

The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to its financial transactions. Additionally, netting provisions are included in agreements in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. The Company offsets the fair values of the foreign exchange derivatives contracts executed with the same counterparty and classifies that amount as a net asset or net liability within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following is a summary of amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet pertaining to Time Warners use of foreign currency derivatives at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (millions):

Commitments
Six Flags
In connection with the Companys former investment in the Six Flags theme parks located in Georgia and Texas (collectively, the Parks), in 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company (including Historic TW and, in connection with the separation of TWC in 2009, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.) agreed to guarantee (the Six Flags Guarantee) certain obligations of the partnerships that hold the Parks (the Partnerships) for the benefit of the limited partners in such Partnerships, including: annual payments made at the Parks or to the limited partners and additional obligations at the end of the respective terms for the Partnerships in 2027 and 2028 (the Guaranteed Obligations). The aggregate undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the Six Flags Guarantee over the remaining term (through 2028) are $967 million (for a net present value of $414 million). To date, no payments have been made by the Company pursuant to the Six Flags Guarantee.
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly known as Six Flags, Inc. and Premier Parks Inc.) (Six Flags), which has the controlling interest in the Parks, has agreed, pursuant to a subordinated indemnity agreement (the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement), to guarantee the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations when due and to indemnify Historic TW, among others, if the Six Flags Guarantee is called upon. If Six Flags defaults in its indemnification obligations, Historic TW has the right to acquire control of the managing partner of the Parks. Six Flags obligations to Historic TW are further secured by its interest in all limited partnership units held by Six Flags.
Because the Six Flags Guarantee existed prior to December 31, 2002 and no modifications to the arrangements have been made since the date the guarantee came into existence, the Company is required to continue to account for the Guaranteed Obligations as a contingent liability. Based on its evaluation of the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Guaranteed Obligations and the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, the Company is unable to predict the loss, if any, that may be incurred under the Guaranteed Obligations, and no liability for the arrangements has been recognized at March 31, 2013. Because of the specific circumstances surrounding the arrangements and the fact that no active or observable market exists for this type of financial guarantee, the Company is unable to determine a current fair value for the Guaranteed Obligations and related Subordinated Indemnity Agreement.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in or parties to various legal claims, actions and proceedings. These claims, actions and proceedings are at varying stages of investigation, arbitration or adjudication, and involve a variety of areas of law.
On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the Superman character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs complaint seeks an accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16, 1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegels grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman character to DC Comics predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act and unfair competition claims, alleging wasting of the Superman property by DC Comics, and the Company has filed counterclaims. On March 26, 2008, the court entered an order of summary judgment finding, among other things, that plaintiffs notices of termination were valid and that plaintiffs had thereby recaptured, as of April 16, 1999, their rights to a one-half interest in the Superman story material, as first published, but that the accounting for profits would not include profits attributable to foreign exploitation, republication of pre-termination works and trademark exploitation. On January 10, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the district courts decision to grant summary judgment in plaintiffs favor, holding that the parties reached a binding settlement agreement in 2001, and directed the district court to reconsider its ruling on DC Comics counterclaims challenging the validity of the plaintiffs termination notices. On February 7, 2013, DC Comics filed a motion for summary judgment in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit on its counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that the plaintiffs had transferred the rights to the Superman and Superboy characters to DC Comics pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into in 2001. By orders dated March 20, 2013 and April 18, 2013, the district court granted DC Comics motion for summary judgment in its entirety and entered final judgment in DC Comics favor in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit, respectively, which is described below.

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a related lawsuit against the same defendants, as well as Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim that Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs of Siegels grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics predecessor-in-interest. This lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction against future use of the Superboy character. As described in the paragraph above regarding the Superman lawsuit, on April 18, 2013, the district court entered final judgment in DC Comics favor in this lawsuit.
On May 14, 2010, DC Comics filed a related lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, the Siegel heirs, their attorney Marc Toberoff and certain companies that Mr. Toberoff controls. The lawsuit asserts a claim for declaratory relief concerning the validity and scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs, which, together with the termination notices served by the Siegel heirs described above, purports to preclude DC Comics from creating new Superman and/or Superboy works for distribution and sale in the United States after October 26, 2013. The lawsuit also asserts state law-based claims, including seeking declaratory relief with respect to, inter alia, the validity of various agreements between Mr. Toberoff, his companies and the Shuster and Siegel heirs, and claims for intentional interference by Mr. Toberoff with DC Comics contracts and prospective economic advantage with the Shuster and Siegel heirs, for which DC Comics seeks monetary damages. On October 25, 2011, defendants motion to strike certain causes of action was denied. On November 2, 2011, defendants appealed the denial to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On July 16, 2012, DC Comics filed a motion for partial summary judgment on two of its asserted claims the validity of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs and that the agreements referenced above interfered with DC Comics rights under the copyright termination provisions. On August 20, 2012, defendants also filed a motion for partial summary judgment on these two claims, as well as on DC Comics asserted claim concerning the scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs. On October 17, 2012, the district court granted DC Comics motion for partial summary judgment, holding that, among other things, the Shuster heirs termination notice is invalid, and denying defendants motion for partial summary judgment. On December 11, 2012, defendants filed a notice of appeal of the district courts ruling with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On February 4, 2013, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on DC Comics state law claims, and DC Comics cross-moved for summary judgment on these claims. On April 4, 2013, the district court granted defendants motion on the intentional interference claims and denied without prejudice the motions on the unfair competition-based claim pending resolution of the appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
On April 4, 2007, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a complaint against CNN America Inc. (CNN America) and Team Video Services, LLC (Team Video). This administrative proceeding relates to CNN Americas December 2003 and January 2004 terminations of its contractual relationships with Team Video, under which Team Video had provided electronic newsgathering services in Washington, DC and New York, NY. The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, under which Team Videos employees were unionized, initially filed charges of unfair labor practices with the NLRB in February 2004, alleging that CNN America and Team Video were joint employers, that CNN America was a successor employer to Team Video, and/or that CNN America discriminated in its hiring practices to avoid becoming a successor employer or due to specific individuals union affiliation or activities. The NLRB complaint seeks, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union members and monetary damages. On November 19, 2008, the presiding NLRB Administrative Law Judge issued a non-binding recommended decision, finding CNN America liable. On February 17, 2009, CNN America filed exceptions to this decision with the NLRB.
On March 10, 2009, Anderson News L.L.C. and Anderson Services L.L.C. (collectively, Anderson News) filed an antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against several magazine publishers, distributors and wholesalers, including Time Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, Time/Warner Retail Sales & Marketing, Inc. Plaintiffs allege that defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by engaging in an antitrust conspiracy against Anderson News, as well as other related state law claims. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages. On August 2, 2010, the court granted defendants motions to dismiss the complaint with prejudice and, on October 25, 2010, the court denied Anderson News motion for reconsideration of that dismissal. On November 8, 2010, Anderson News appealed and, on April 3, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the district courts dismissal of the complaint and remanded the case to the district court. On January 7, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court denied defendants petition for writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacating the district courts dismissal of the complaint. The case continues to proceed before the district court.

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company intends to vigorously defend against or prosecute, as applicable, the matters described above.
The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal claims when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters.
For matters disclosed above for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, whether in excess of an accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company has estimated a range of possible loss. The Company believes the estimate of the aggregate range of possible loss in excess of accrued liabilities for such matters is between $0 and $65 million at March 31, 2013. The estimated aggregate range of possible loss is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions. The matters represented in the estimated aggregate range of possible loss will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and claims, the Company often cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be. An adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Companys results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
Income Tax Uncertainties
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded net decreases to income tax reserves of approximately $44 million. Of the $44 million net decreases to income tax reserves, approximately $19 million impacted the Companys effective tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded decreases to interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $5 million.
In the Companys judgment, uncertainties related to certain tax matters are reasonably possible of being resolved during the next twelve months. The effect of such resolution, which could vary based on the final terms and timing of actual settlements with taxing authorities, is estimated to be a reduction of recorded unrecognized tax benefits ranging from $60 million to $700 million, most of which would decrease the Companys effective tax rate.
As had been expected, in April 2013, the IRS Appeals Division issued a notice of deficiency with respect to a matter relating to the appropriate tax characterization of certain stock warrants received from a third party in 2002. The Company is evaluating the notice of deficiency and continues to expect that this matter will entail litigation. Should the IRS prevail in litigation, the additional tax payable by the Company would be approximately $70 million.
14. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
The Company has entered into certain transactions in the ordinary course of business with unconsolidated investees accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These transactions have been executed on terms comparable to the terms of transactions with unrelated third parties and primarily include the licensing of broadcast rights to The CW broadcast network for television product by the Film and TV Entertainment segment and the licensing of rights to carry cable television programming provided by the Networks segment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements
The Companys collaborative arrangements primarily relate to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions and the arrangement entered into with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (CBS) and The National Collegiate Athletic Association (the NCAA) that provides Turner and CBS with exclusive television, Internet and wireless rights to the NCAA Division I Mens Basketball Championship events (the NCAA Tournament) in the United States and its territories and possessions from 2011 through 2024.
For the Companys collaborative arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $88 million and $77 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The aggregate programming rights fee, production costs, advertising revenues and sponsorship revenues related to the NCAA Tournament and related programming are shared equally by Turner and CBS. However, if the amount paid for the programming rights fee and production costs, in any given year, exceeds advertising and sponsorship revenues for that year, CBS share of such shortfall is limited to specified annual amounts (the loss cap), ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 million. The amount incurred by the Company pursuant to the loss cap during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was not significant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Overview
Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of (i) Time Warner Inc. (the Parent Company), (ii) Historic TW Inc. (in its own capacity and as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.), Home Box Office, Inc., and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company (collectively, the Guarantor Subsidiaries), on a combined basis, (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries), on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Inc. on a consolidated basis. The Guarantor Subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee securities issued under certain of the Companys indentures on an unsecured basis.
There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Companys ability to obtain funds from any of its wholly owned subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
Basis of Presentation
In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Companys interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column Eliminations.
The Parent Companys accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets, have been pushed down to the applicable subsidiaries. Corporate overhead expenses have been reflected as expenses of the Parent Company and have not been allocated to the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Interest income (expense) is determined based on third-party debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the respective legal entity.
All direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries are included in Time Warner Inc.s consolidated U.S. tax return. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, tax expense has been allocated based on each such subsidiarys relative pretax income to the consolidated pretax income. With respect to the use of certain consolidated tax attributes (principally operating and capital loss carryforwards), such benefits have been allocated to the respective subsidiary that generated the taxable income permitting such use (i.e., pro-rata based on where the income was generated). For example, to the extent a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary generated a gain on the sale of a business for which the Parent Company utilized tax attributes to offset such gain, the tax attribute benefit would be allocated to that Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been allocated based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
Certain transfers of cash between subsidiaries and their parent companies and intercompany dividends are reflected as cash flows from investing and financing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidating statements of cash flows. All other intercompany activity is reflected in cash flows from operations.
Management believes that the allocations and adjustments noted above are reasonable. However, such allocations and adjustments may not be indicative of the actual amounts that would have been incurred had the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries operated independently.

Part II. Other Information
The following information supplements and amends the disclosure set forth in Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the 2012 Form 10-K).
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by certain heirs of Jerome Siegel regarding the character Superman described on page 35 of the 2012 Form 10-K. On February 7, 2013, DC Comics filed a motion for summary judgment in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit on its counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that the plaintiffs had transferred the rights to the Superman and Superboy characters to DC Comics pursuant to the settlement agreement the parties entered into in 2001. By orders dated March 20, 2013 and April 18, 2013, the district court granted DC Comics motion for summary judgment in its entirety and entered final judgment in DC Comics favor in this lawsuit and the related Superboy lawsuit, respectively.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by the same Siegel heirs regarding the character Superboy described on pages 35-36 of the 2012 Form 10-K. On April 18, 2013, the district court entered final judgment in DC Comics favor in this lawsuit.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by the Company against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, the Siegel heirs, their attorney Marc Toberoff and certain companies that Mr. Toberoff controls described on page 36 of the 2012 Form 10-K. On February 4, 2013, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on DC Comics state law claims, and DC Comics cross-moved for summary judgment on these claims. On April 4, 2013, the district court granted defendants motion on the intentional interference claims and denied without prejudice the motions on the unfair competition-based claim pending resolution of the appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
There have been no material changes in the Companys risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of the 2012 Form 10-K.

(1) | These amounts do not give effect to any fees, commissions or other costs associated with the share repurchases. |
(2) | On February 6, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a total of $4.0 billion in share repurchases beginning January 1, 2013, including the approximately $1.1 billion remaining at December 31, 2012 from the prior $4.0 billion authorization. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made, from time to time, on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these purchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. In the past, the Company has repurchased shares of its common stock pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and it may repurchase shares of its common stock utilizing such trading plans in the future. |
