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 Company’s brands are TNT, TBS, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, CNN, HBO, Cinemax, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company generated Revenues of $21.427 billion (up 2% from $21.039 billion in 2015), Operating Income of $5.856 billion (up 7% from $5.479 billion in 2015), Income from continuing operations of $3.597 billion (up 22% from $2.938 billion in 2015), Net Income attributable to Time Warner shareholders of $3.633 billion (up 22% from $2.976 billion in 2015) and Cash provided by operations of $3.534 billion (up 18% from $2.997 billion in 2015).

Time Warner Businesses

Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Turner, Home Box Office and Warner Bros. For additional information regarding Time Warner’s segments, refer to Note 14, “Segment Information,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Turner. The Turner segment consists of businesses managed by Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“Turner”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Turner segment recorded Revenues of $8.526 billion (39% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $3.531 billion.

Turner operates domestic and international television networks and related properties that offer entertainment, sports, kids and news programming on television and digital platforms for consumers around the world. The Turner networks and related properties include TNT, TBS, Adult Swim, truTV, Turner Classic Movies, Turner Sports, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, CNN and HLN. The Turner networks generate revenues principally from licensing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute this programming to subscribers, from the sale of advertising and from licensing its original programming, including to over-the-top (“OTT”) services such as subscription-video-on-demand (“SVOD”) services, and its brands and characters for consumer products and other business ventures. Turner’s programming is available to audiences for viewing live and on demand across television, mobile devices and other digital platforms through services provided by affiliates and on Turner’s digital properties. Turner also owns and operates various digital media businesses, including Bleacher Report; the CNN digital properties, including CNNgo, CNN.com and CNNMoney.com; and other digital properties associated with its networks, all of which generate revenues principally from the sale of advertising and sponsorships. In addition, Turner manages and operates sports-related digital properties in conjunction with associated television rights, such as NBA Digital and NCAA.com, which also generate revenues primarily from the sale of advertising and sponsorships.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

Home Box Office. The Home Box Office segment consists of businesses managed by Home Box Office, Inc. (“Home Box Office”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Home Box Office segment recorded Revenues of $4.399 billion (21% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $1.488 billion.

Home Box Office operates the HBO and Cinemax multichannel premium pay television services, with the HBO service ranking as the most widely distributed multichannel premium pay television service. HBO- and Cinemax-branded premium pay, basic tier television or OTT services are distributed in over 60 countries in Latin America, Asia and Europe.

In the U.S., Home Box Office generates revenues principally from licensing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute such programming to their customers who subscribe to the HBO or Cinemax services. HBO and Cinemax programming is available in the U.S. to subscribers of affiliates for viewing on Home Box Office’s main HBO and Cinemax channels and its multiplex channels, through its on demand services, HBO On Demand and Cinemax On Demand, and through its broadband-delivered on demand services, HBO GO and MAX GO. HBO GO and MAX GO are available on a variety of digital platforms, including mobile devices, gaming consoles and internet-connected streaming devices and televisions. In April 2015, Home Box Office launched HBO NOW, an OTT service available to consumers in the U.S. Home Box Office’s agreements with its domestic affiliates are typically long-term arrangements that provide for annual service fee increases and marketing support. While fees to Home Box Office under affiliate agreements are generally based on the number of subscribers served by the affiliates, the relationship between subscriber totals and the amount of revenues earned depends on the specific terms of the applicable agreement, which may include basic and/or pay television subscriber thresholds, volume discounts and other performance-based discounts. Marketing and promotional activities intended to retain existing subscribers and acquire new subscribers may also impact revenue earned.

Internationally, Home Box Office generates subscription revenues by providing country-specific HBO and Cinemax premium pay and basic tier television services to international affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute such services to their local customers. In some countries, Home Box Office also generates subscription revenues from OTT services that are distributed to consumers either directly or through third parties. Additional sources of revenues for Home Box Office are the home entertainment sales of its original programming, including Game of Thrones, True Detective, True Blood and Girls, via physical and digital formats and the licensing of its original programming to OTT services, including SVOD services, and international television networks.

Warner Bros. The Warner Bros. segment consists of businesses managed by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (“Warner Bros.”) that principally produce and distribute television shows, feature films and videogames. Warner Bros.’ television, film and videogame businesses benefit from a shared infrastructure, including shared production, distribution, marketing and administrative functions and resources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Warner Bros. segment recorded Revenues of $9.169 billion (40% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $1.160 billion.

Warner Bros. is a leader in television production and distribution. For the 2016/2017 season, Warner Bros. is producing over 65 original series in the U.S., including (i) at least three series for each of the five broadcast networks (including 2 Broke Girls, Arrow, The Bachelor, The Big Bang Theory, Blindspot, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, Gotham, Little Big Shots, Lucifer, The Middle, Mom, Supergirl, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries and The Voice), (ii) series for basic cable networks (including Animal Kingdom, People of Earth and Pretty Little Liars), (iii) series for premium pay television services (including The Leftovers, Shameless and Westworld), (iv) series for SVOD services (including Fuller House, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and Longmire), (v) series for first-run syndication (including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Extra, The Real and TMZ) and (vi) animated series for Cartoon Network and Adult Swim (including Be Cool, Scooby Doo!, Mike Tyson Mysteries, Teen Titans Go! and Wabbit). Warner Bros. also licenses the rights to many of its U.S. original television series in international territories. Outside the U.S., Warner Bros. has a global network of production companies in many countries (located across Europe and South America and in Australia and New Zealand), which allows Warner Bros. to develop programming specifically tailored for the audiences in these territories. These local production companies also focus on developing non-scripted programs and formats that can be adapted and sold internationally and in the U.S. Warner Bros. generates television product revenues principally from the licensing of programs to broadcast and cable television networks and premium pay television and OTT services, including SVOD services.

Warner Bros. is a leader in the feature film industry and produces feature films under its Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema banners. The Warner Bros. segment’s theatrical product revenues are generated principally through rental fees from theatrical

exhibition of feature films, including the following recently released films: The Accountant, Barbershop: The Next Cut, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Central Intelligence, The Conjuring 2, The Legend of Tarzan, Lights Out, Me Before You, Storks, Suicide Squad and Sully and subsequently through licensing fees received from the distribution of films on premium pay television, broadcast and cable television networks and OTT services, including SVOD services.

Warner Bros. is a leader in the home entertainment and videogame industries. The segment generates television and theatrical product revenues from the distribution of television and theatrical product in various physical and digital formats (e.g., electronic sell-through (“EST”) and video-on-demand). In addition, the segment generates revenues through the development and distribution of videogames, including the following recently released videogames: LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Mortal Kombat XL.

The distribution and sale of home entertainment product in physical formats is a large contributor to the segment’s revenues and profits. For the past several years, sales of home entertainment product in physical formats have declined as the home entertainment industry has been undergoing significant changes as it transitions from the physical distribution of film and television content via physical discs to the electronic delivery of such content. Several factors have contributed to this decline, including consumers shifting to OTT services, which generate significantly less revenue per transaction for the Company than sales of home entertainment product in physical formats; changing retailer initiatives and strategies (e.g., reduction of floor space devoted to home entertainment product in physical formats); retail store closures; increasing competition for consumer discretionary time and spending; and piracy. During the first nine months of 2016, across the home entertainment industry, consumer spending on home entertainment product in physical formats continued to decline and consumer spending on electronic delivery continued to increase. The electronic delivery of film and television content is growing and becoming more important to the Warner Bros. segment, which has helped to offset some of the decline in sales of home entertainment product in physical formats.

Television Industry

The television industry is continuing to evolve, with changes in technology, rapid growth in new video services, and a corresponding increase in overall video content consumption and shift in consumer viewing patterns. Consumers are watching an increasing amount of programming on-demand and across a wide variety of services and devices, including smartphones, tablets, PCs and internet-connected televisions. Over the past few years, the number of multichannel video service (“MVPD”) subscribers in the U.S. declined slightly, and the Company expects further modest declines. To counteract this trend, some MVPD providers are placing greater emphasis on selling smaller bundles of cable networks, resulting in higher subscriber declines for most individual networks than for MVPDs in total.

At the same time, the penetration of broadband and internet-connected devices has grown, which has led to a growing number and variety of internet-delivered video services that do not require a traditional MVPD subscription or MVPD provider set-top box hardware. These include SVOD services such as Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix, which have continued to increase their number of subscribers and have been, and are expected to continue, making significant investments in acquired and original programming. Some television networks have launched OTT services, such as HBO NOW. In addition, MVPD providers as well as media and technology companies have launched, or have announced that they will launch, virtual MVPDs, which offer bundles of networks delivered via the internet. Ad-supported broadband video services, such as those offered through YouTube and Facebook, also have continued to gain in popularity.

As a result of these changes, consumers have more options for obtaining video content, including lower-cost alternatives. At the same time, however, the combination of new competitors, changes in viewing habits and declines in MVPD subscribers has negatively affected overall television ratings and, as a result, television advertising revenues for the industry and certain of the Company’s networks. There also has been a corresponding shift of advertising dollars to non-traditional video outlets.

To address these changes, the Company’s strategy over the past few years has focused on strengthening its position within the traditional TV ecosystem, enhancing the value of traditional pay television subscriptions for consumers, and pursuing new opportunities outside the traditional TV ecosystem. As part of this strategy, the Company plans to continue increasing its investment in high-quality distinctive programming to enhance the value of its networks. The Company is also working to enhance the value to consumers of the traditional MVPD bundle and capitalize on the shift in consumption habits in a number of ways, including by expanding the amount of its content that is available on demand and supporting the development of better user interfaces for on-demand multiplatform viewing. The Company is also pursuing a number of initiatives to capitalize on the new opportunities presented by these changes, including launching, investing in, and obtaining distribution through OTT services, including through

virtual MVPDs, as well as investing in short-form content production and digital-first news and entertainment networks. In addition, Turner has introduced new advertising products that provide greater data analytic tools and targeting capabilities to advertisers in order to compete more effectively with non-traditional outlets.

Recent Developments

AT&T and Time Warner Merger Agreement

On October 22, 2016, Time Warner entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”), pursuant to which Time Warner will combine with AT&T in a stock-and-cash transaction. The Merger Agreement has been approved unanimously by the boards of directors of both companies. Subject to the conditions in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, Time Warner’s stockholders will receive $107.50 per share under the terms of the Merger Agreement, consisting of $53.75 per share in cash and $53.75 per share in AT&T stock. The stock portion will be subject to a collar such that Time Warner stockholders will receive 1.437 AT&T shares if AT&T’s stock price is below $37.411 at closing and 1.300 AT&T shares if AT&T’s stock price is above $41.349 at closing. If AT&T’s stock price at closing is between $37.411 and $41.349, Time Warner stockholders will receive a number of shares between 1.300 and 1.437, equal to $53.75 in value. The merger is subject to approval by Time Warner stockholders and the receipt of certain antitrust and other regulatory consents. The transaction is expected to close before year-end 2017. Should Time Warner terminate the Merger Agreement in specified circumstances, including in order to consummate a competing transaction, Time Warner will be required to pay AT&T a termination fee equal to $1.725 billion.

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company granted a total of 4.8 million special retention restricted stock units (“Special Retention RSUs”) to certain employees of Time Warner and its divisions, including all executive officers of Time Warner other than its Chairman and CEO, on October 24, 2016. Half of the Special Retention RSUs will vest 25% per year on each of the first four anniversaries of February 15, 2017, and the remaining half will vest 25% per year on each of the first four anniversaries of February 15, 2018. Pursuant to the Special Retention RSU agreements, vesting as a result of retirement is not permitted unless the employee retires after the merger has closed. In addition, the awards do not accelerate automatically following the closing of the merger. Instead, the employee must remain employed following the closing, and the awards will vest only upon the scheduled vesting date or upon termination of employment under certain circumstances, such as termination without cause, for good reason or due to retirement.

In addition, certain employees of Time Warner and its divisions, including executive officers other than the Chairman and CEO, have received or will receive a cash retention award. Half of the award will become payable upon the closing of the merger, and the remaining half will become payable six months thereafter, in both cases, subject to continued employment on the relevant payment date. Payment will also be made upon termination without cause or for good reason.

Strategic Review

As part of its long-range planning process, the Company routinely reviews opportunities to streamline its operations and optimize its programming. In connection with that review, the Company will evaluate its future use of certain owned and licensed programming rights and could incur charges of approximately $60 million to $80 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Time Warner Pension Plan Amendment

On August 1, 2016, the Time Warner Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) was amended to provide for a one-time lump sum window program for eligible vested participants who (i) had terminated employment as of May 31, 2016, (ii) had not yet commenced payment of their benefits as of May 31, 2016, (iii) are not otherwise eligible for an immediate lump sum payment of their benefits and (iv) have benefits with a present value of less than $50,000. Eligible participants had the opportunity to elect, during the period beginning on August 16, 2016 and ending on October 7, 2016, to receive their benefits in the form of an immediate lump sum payment. Certain annuity options were also available. Payments to those eligible participants who elected to receive their benefit under the window program will be made or commence as of December 2016. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company expects to recognize settlement losses of approximately $55 million to $70 million in connection with this amendment to the Pension Plan, the majority of which will be related to businesses the Company has previously disposed of.

Hulu

On August 2, 2016, Time Warner purchased a 10% ownership interest in Hulu, LLC, a company that provides OTT video services, for $590 million in cash, including transaction costs. Time Warner accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

2016 Debt Offering

On May 10, 2016, Time Warner issued $800 million aggregate principal amount of 2.95% Notes due 2026 under a shelf registration statement. See “Financial Condition and Liquidity — Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements” for further information.

NCAA

On March 14, 2016, Turner and CBS entered into an agreement with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”) to license the television, digital and marketing rights to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament (the “NCAA Tournament”) from 2025 through 2032 for an aggregate rights fee of $8.8 billion. While the aggregate rights fee will be paid by Turner to the NCAA, the rights fee, production costs, advertising revenues and sponsorship revenues related to the NCAA Tournament and related programming will continue to be shared by Turner and CBS. Annually, for 2025 through 2032, Turner will be allocated the first $90 million of revenue subject to the arrangement. However, if the amount paid for the rights fee and production costs in any year during that period exceeds advertising and sponsorship revenues for that year, including the $90 million of revenue allocated to Turner, CBS’ share of such shortfall will be limited to $45 million. Under the existing agreement among Turner, CBS and the NCAA, Turner and CBS have licensed rights to the NCAA Tournament through 2024.

Fandango

In April 2016, Warner Bros. sold its Flixster business to Fandango Media, LLC (“Fandango”), a subsidiary of NBCUniversal Media LLC, in exchange for a 25% interest in Fandango. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Warner Bros. recorded a pre-tax gain of $90 million in connection with this transaction.

Central European Media Enterprises Ltd.

On February 19, 2016, CME Media Enterprises B.V. (“CME BV”), a subsidiary of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME”), entered into a credit agreement (the “2016 Credit Agreement”) with third-party financial institutions for an approximate €470 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) that was funded in April 2016 and matures on February 19, 2021. Time Warner has guaranteed CME BV’s obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement for a fee equal to a rate based on CME’s net leverage, which initially was 10.5%, less the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan, which initially was approximately 1.78%, to be paid to Time Warner semi-annually. CME BV must pay a portion of the fee in cash and may, at CME BV’s option, pay the remainder in cash or in kind. In April 2016, CME used cash on hand and the proceeds of the 2016 Term Loan to repay in their entirety both its Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and the term loan Time Warner provided CME in 2014 (the “TW Term Loan”), which also was due in 2017. Time Warner received approximately $485 million in connection with CME’s repayment of the Senior Secured Notes and the TW Term Loan. As consideration for assisting CME in refinancing its debt due in 2017, Time Warner earned a fee equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Term Loan borrowed at funding. Prior to the funding, CME BV entered into unsecured interest rate hedge arrangements to protect against changes in the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan during its term, and Time Warner has guaranteed CME BV’s obligations under such arrangements.

In addition, on February 19, 2016, CME entered into an amendment to extend the maturity of its €251 million senior unsecured term loan obtained in 2014 from third-party financial institutions (the “2014 Term Loan”) from November 1, 2017 to November 1, 2018. Time Warner continues to guarantee CME’s obligations under the 2014 Term Loan.

Time Warner and CME also agreed on February 19, 2016 to amend and restate the $115 million revolving credit facility Time Warner provided CME in 2014 to reduce the size of the facility to $50 million as of January 1, 2018 and to extend its term from December 2017 to February 2021. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate based on CME’s net leverage. Beginning in April 2016, CME must pay a portion of the interest for each applicable quarterly interest period in cash and may, at CME’s option, pay the remainder in kind by adding such amount to the outstanding principal amount of the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2016, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

The Company recorded a pretax gain of $95 million in Investment gains (losses), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2016 in connection with these transactions. Additionally, when recognizing CME’s results in the second quarter of 2016 under the equity method of accounting, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $150 million in Other loss, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations related to these transactions.

Revenues. The components of Revenues are as follows (millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		% Change	2016		2015		% Change
Turner	$	2,610	$	2,398	9%	$	8,526	$	7,935	7%

Total revenues	$	7,167	$	6,564	9%	$	21,427	$	21,039	2%

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, Revenues at the Turner segment increased primarily driven by higher Subscription and Advertising revenues. Revenues at the Home Box Office segment increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to higher Subscription revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, Revenues increased at the Warner Bros. segment driven by higher Theatrical product revenues, partially offset by lower Videogames and other revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Revenues at the Warner Bros. segment decreased primarily due to lower Videogames and other revenues. Changes in exchange rates associated with the foreign currencies to which the Company is exposed negatively impacted the Company’s Revenues by approximately $55 million and $230 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, with negative impacts of approximately $25 million and $120 million, respectively, at the Turner segment, $30 million and $100 million, respectively, at the Warner Bros. segment and $0 and $10 million, respectively, at the Home Box Office segment. If the foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar remain at the levels they were at as of September 30, 2016 or if the U.S. Dollar strengthens further in 2016 relative to the foreign currencies to which the Company is exposed, the Company’s Revenues in 2016 will be negatively affected as compared to its Revenues in 2015. Each of the revenue categories is discussed in greater detail by segment in “Business Segment Results.”

Costs of Revenues. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, Costs of revenues were $3.873 billion and $11.718 billion, respectively, as compared to $3.526 billion and $11.802 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The increase in Costs of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 reflected increases across all of the segments. The decrease in Costs of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflected a decrease at the Warner Bros. segment, partially offset by increases at the Turner and Home Box Office segments. The segment variations are discussed in “Business Segment Results.”

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% to $1.179 billion from $1.143 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily reflecting an increase at Corporate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% to $3.688 billion from $3.580 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily reflecting increases at the Turner segment and Corporate, partially offset by a decline at the Warner Bros. segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Selling, general and administrative expenses included a $22 million foreign currency charge related to a change in the foreign currency exchange rate used by the Company for remeasuring its Venezuelan net monetary assets from the SICAD 2 rate to the Simadi rate. The segment variations are discussed in “Business Segment Results.”

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, international subscription revenues increased $3 million and decreased $14 million, respectively, as growth mainly in Latin America was offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $15 million and $70 million, respectively.

The increase in Advertising revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 reflected domestic growth of $15 million primarily driven by Turner’s news business, mainly due to the 2016 U.S. Presidential election coverage, partially offset by lower audience delivery at certain entertainment networks. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in Advertising revenues reflected domestic growth of $160 million primarily driven by Turner’s news business, mainly due to the 2016 U.S. Presidential election coverage, as well as the 2016 NCAA Tournament, partially offset by lower audience delivery at certain entertainment networks. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, international advertising revenues increased $1 million and decreased $15 million, respectively, as growth mainly in Latin America was offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $10 million and $40 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in Subscription revenues was driven by higher domestic subscription revenues of $51 million and $167 million, respectively, primarily due to higher contractual rates.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Content and other revenues increased primarily due to higher licensing revenues of $42 million, partially offset by lower home entertainment revenues of $32 million.

The components of Costs of revenues for the Home Box Office segment are as follows (millions):

During the second quarter of 2016, the Home Box Office segment revised its estimate of the period over which its original programming is utilized by its subscribers. The updated estimate gives consideration to Home Box Office’s original programming history and was driven by consumer viewing patterns, which are influenced by the increased availability of and on-demand access to Home Box Office’s content across a wide variety of devices and services, including HBO NOW, which launched in April 2015. As a result, in determining amortization under the film forecast computation method, the weighted average subscriber utilization period for the majority of Home Box Office’s original programming was increased by approximately five months. This change resulted in a reduction of amortization expense, as compared to the amount determined using Home Box Office’s previous estimate, of approximately $35 million and $130 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

The increase in originals and sports programming costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to higher original programming expenses, partially offset by the impact of the change in the estimate of the utilization period of its original programming described in the preceding paragraph. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the higher original programming expenses also included higher original programming charges. The increase in acquired films and syndicated series programming costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily related to acquired programming for both HBO’s domestic and international businesses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased due to lower marketing expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Selling, general and administrative expenses were essentially flat primarily due to $9 million of expenses related to Home Box Office’s withdrawal from a multiemployer benefit plan, partially offset by lower marketing expenses.

The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $41 million of Restructuring and severance costs principally related to executive severance costs.

The increase in Operating Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to higher Revenues, partially offset by higher Costs of revenues and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, higher Restructuring and severance costs.

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, and film and TV entertainment. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Turner: consisting principally of cable networks and digital media properties; Home Box Office: consisting principally of premium pay television and over-the-top (“OTT”) services domestically and premium pay, basic tier television and OTT services internationally; and Warner Bros.: consisting principally of television, feature film, home video and videogame production and distribution.

Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all 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 entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the September 30, 2016 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 or impairment of capitalized film and programming costs and participations and residuals, home video and videogame product 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 should consolidate certain entities.

Venezuela Currency

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized a pretax foreign exchange loss of $22 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations related to a change in the foreign currency exchange rate the Company used to remeasure its Venezuelan net monetary assets from the SICAD 2 rate to the Simadi rate. Approximately $15 million of such loss related to cash balances.

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2016

Equity Method of Accounting

In March 2016, guidance was issued that changes the requirements for equity method accounting when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the investor’s ownership interest in or degree of influence over an investee. The guidance (i) eliminates the need to retroactively apply the equity method of accounting upon qualifying for such treatment, (ii) requires that the cost of acquiring the additional interest in an investee be added to the basis of the previously held interest and (iii) requires that unrealized holding gains or losses for available-for-sale equity securities that qualify for the equity method of accounting be recognized in earnings at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method of accounting. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis and it did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In August 2016, guidance was issued that clarifies the presentation of certain cash receipts and payments in a company’s statement of cash flows. The guidance primarily relates to the classification of cash flows associated with certain (i) debt transactions, (ii) contingent consideration arrangements related to business combinations, (iii) insurance claims and policies, (iv) distributions received from equity method investees and (v) securitization transactions. The guidance will become effective on a retrospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Share-Based Payments

In March 2016, guidance was issued that changes the reporting for certain aspects of share-based payments. One aspect of the guidance, which will become effective on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2017, requires that the income tax effects of share-based awards be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. Under the current guidance, excess tax benefits and deficiencies have been recognized in Additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the amount of excess tax benefits, net of deficiencies, recognized in Additional paid-in capital was $150 million. Another aspect of the new guidance, which the Company will adopt on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2017, requires that excess tax benefits be classified as a cash flow from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Under the current guidance, excess tax benefits have been classified as a cash flow from financing activities. Excess tax benefits presented as a cash flow from financing activities were $151 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The other aspects of this new guidance are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, guidance was issued regarding accounting for leases. The main difference between the current guidance and the new guidance is the recognition by a lessee of lease assets and liabilities for those leases it classified as operating leases under the current guidance. Under the new guidance, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease as well as the lessor accounting model have not significantly changed from current guidance. This guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements. The new guidance will become effective on a modified retrospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities

In January 2016, guidance was issued that makes limited changes to the accounting for financial instruments. The changes primarily relate to (i) the requirement to measure equity investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings, (ii) an alternative approach for the measurement of equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, (iii) the elimination of the other-than-temporary impairment model and its replacement with a requirement to perform a qualitative assessment to identify the impairment of equity investments, and a requirement to recognize impairment losses in earnings based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the equity investment, (iv) the elimination of the requirement to disclose the methods and

TIME WARNER INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, (v) the addition of a requirement to use the exit price concept when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and (vi) the addition of a requirement to present financial assets and financial liabilities separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category (e.g., fair value, amortized cost, lower of cost or market) and by form of financial asset (e.g., loans, securities). This guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, guidance was issued that establishes a new revenue recognition framework in GAAP for all companies and industries. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive for those goods or services. The guidance includes a five-step framework to determine the timing and amount of revenue to recognize related to contracts with customers. In addition, this guidance requires new or expanded disclosures related to the judgments made by companies when following this framework. Based on the current guidance, the new framework will become effective on either a full or modified retrospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2018. Subsequent to the issuance of the May 2014 guidance, several clarifications and updates have been issued on this topic, the most recent of which was issued in May 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2.	MERGER AGREEMENT WITH AT&T INC.

On October 22, 2016, Time Warner entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T with and into Time Warner, with Time Warner continuing as the surviving company in the merger. Immediately thereafter, Time Warner will merge with and into a limited liability company formed by AT&T, which will continue as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by all members of Time Warner’s and AT&T’s board of directors.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each share of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive $53.75 in cash plus a number of shares of AT&T common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio is determined as follows:

•

If the Average AT&T Stock Price (as defined below) is an amount greater than $41.349, the Exchange Ratio will be 1.300;

•

If the Average AT&T Stock Price is an amount greater than or equal to $37.411 but less than or equal to $41.349, the Exchange Ratio will be an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $53.75 by (y) the Average AT&T Stock Price; or

•

If the Average AT&T Stock Price is an amount less than $37.411, the Exchange Ratio will be 1.437.

“Average AT&T Stock Price” means the average of the volume weighted averages of the trading prices of AT&T Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on each of the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is three trading days prior to the date of the effective time of the merger.

The transaction is expected to close before year-end 2017. Consummation of the merger is subject to various conditions, including, among others, customary conditions relating to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of the Time Warner stockholders and the receipt of certain antitrust and other regulatory approvals. Should Time Warner terminate the Merger Agreement in specified circumstances, including in order to consummate a competing transaction, Time Warner will be required to pay AT&T a termination fee equal to $1.725 billion.

Recent Transactions

On February 19, 2016, CME Media Enterprises B.V. (“CME BV”), a subsidiary of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME”), entered into a credit agreement (the “2016 Credit Agreement”) with third-party financial institutions for an approximate €470 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) that was funded in April 2016 and matures on February 19, 2021. Time Warner has guaranteed CME BV’s obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement for a fee equal to a rate based on CME’s net leverage, which initially was 10.5%, less the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan, which initially was 1.78%, to be paid to Time Warner semi-annually. CME BV must pay a portion of the fee in cash and may, at CME BV’s option, pay the remainder in cash or in kind. In April 2016, CME used cash on hand and the proceeds of the 2016 Term Loan to repay in their entirety both its Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and the term loan Time Warner provided CME in 2014 (the “TW Term Loan”), which also was due in 2017. Time Warner received approximately $485 million in connection with CME’s repayment of the Senior Secured Notes and the TW Term Loan. As consideration for assisting CME in refinancing its debt due in 2017, Time Warner earned a fee equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Term Loan borrowed at funding. Prior to the funding, CME BV entered into unsecured interest rate hedge arrangements to protect against changes in the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan during its term, and Time Warner has guaranteed CME BV’s obligations under such arrangements.

The Company recorded a pretax gain of $95 million in Investment gains (losses), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2016 in connection with these transactions. Additionally, when recognizing CME’s results in the second quarter of 2016 under the equity method of accounting, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $150 million in Other loss, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations related to these transactions.

5.	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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively (millions):

The Company primarily applies the market approach for valuing recurring fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, assets valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) primarily related to warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of CME valued at $135 million and $179 million, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement at September 30, 2016 are an expected term of 0.96 years and an expected volatility of approximately 57%. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the other Level 3 assets consisted of equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the Company. As of December 31, 2015, Level 3 liabilities consisted of liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of net derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and identifies the total gains (losses) the Company recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 on such assets and liabilities that were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 (millions):

Other Financial Instruments

The Company’s other financial instruments, including debt, are not required to be carried at fair value. Based on the interest rates prevailing at September 30, 2016, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $5.056 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2015, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $2.490 billion. The fair value of Time Warner’s debt is considered a Level 2 measurement as it is 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.

Information as of September 30, 2016 about the Company’s investments in CME that are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (millions):


	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Fair Value Hierarchy
Class A common stock (a)	$	—	$	168	Level 1
Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares	$	—	$	241	Level 2

(a)	Includes 1 share of Series A convertible preferred stock.

The fair values of the Company’s investments in CME’s Class A common stock (including Series A convertible preferred stock) and Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares are primarily determined by reference to the September 30, 2016 closing price of CME’s common stock.

The carrying value for the majority of the Company’s 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.

Non-Financial Instruments

The majority of the Company’s 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), a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value.

TIME WARNER INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company performed an impairment review of a broadcast license at an international subsidiary of Turner. As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $25 million to write down the value of the asset to $10 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company performed an impairment review of certain intangible assets at an international subsidiary of Turner. As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $1 million to completely write off the value of these assets. 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.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company also performed fair value measurements related to certain theatrical films and television programs. In determining the fair value of its theatrical films, the Company employs a DCF methodology that includes cash flow estimates of a film’s 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 films and television programs that management plans to abandon is zero. Because the primary determination of fair value is made using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. The following table presents certain theatrical film and television production costs, which were recorded as inventory in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, that were written down to fair value (millions):


	Carrying value before write down		Carrying value after write down
Fair value measurements made during the three months ended September 30,:

7.	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Time Warner uses derivative instruments, primarily 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 Warner’s 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).

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 intercompany debt due to changes in the underlying foreign exchange rates.

The translation of revenues and expenses denominated in the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary may result in fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar-equivalent value of such revenues and expenses as compared to prior periods. Such transactions are not eligible for qualifying hedge accounting treatment, and the Company does not economically hedge this exposure.

Net gains and losses from hedging activities recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations were as follows (millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Other loss, net		(8	)		(10	)		(8	)		(20	)

Amounts included in Other loss, net include the impact of forward points and option premiums, which are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Other amounts included in Other loss, net relate to hedges of foreign-currency-denominated debt and hedge ineffectiveness, which are not material.

The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to its financial transactions and has entered into collateral agreements with these counterparties to further protect the Company in the event of deterioration of the credit quality of such counterparties on outstanding transactions. Additionally, netting provisions are included in agreements in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. For such foreign exchange contracts, the Company offsets the fair values of the amounts owed to or due from the same counterparty and classifies the net 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 Warner’s use of foreign currency derivatives at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (millions):


	September 30, 2016 (a)			December 31, 2015 (b)
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	70		$	79
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(32	)		(2	)

(a)	Includes $207 million ($195 million of qualifying hedges and $12 million of economic hedges) and $169 million ($164 million of qualifying hedges and $5 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.

(b)	Includes $198 million ($194 million of qualifying hedges and $4 million of economic hedges) and $121 million ($116 million of qualifying hedges and $5 million of economic hedges) of foreign exchange derivative contracts in asset and liability positions, respectively.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $14 million of losses and $29 million of gains, respectively, related to cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net and are expected to be recognized in earnings at the same time the hedged items affect earnings. Included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are net losses of $2 million and $9 million, respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2016, the carrying amount of the Company’s €700 million aggregate principal amount of debt due 2023 is designated as a hedge of the variability in the Company’s Euro-denominated net investments. The gain or loss on the debt that is designated as, and is effective as, an economic hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is recorded as a currency translation adjustment within Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, such amounts totaled $0 and $17 million of losses, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, such amounts totaled $21 million of losses.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2016, Time Warner’s Board of Directors authorized up to $5.0 billion of share repurchases beginning January 1, 2016, including the amount remaining at December 31, 2015 under the prior authorization. Purchases under the stock repurchase program could be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with the size and timing of these purchases based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From January 1, 2016 through October 21, 2016, the Company repurchased 31 million shares of common stock for $2.307 billion pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company discontinued share repurchases.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and consists of Net income and other gains and losses affecting shareholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from Net income. For Time Warner, such items consist primarily of foreign currency translation gains (losses), unrealized gains and losses on certain derivative financial instruments and equity securities, and changes in benefit plan obligations.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Turner: consisting principally of cable networks and digital media properties; Home Box Office: consisting principally of premium pay television and OTT services domestically and premium pay, basic tier television and OTT services internationally; and Warner Bros.: consisting principally of television, feature film, home video and videogame production and distribution. Time Warner’s reportable segments have been determined in accordance with its internal management structure and the financial information that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

In the ordinary course of business, Time Warner’s reportable segments enter into transactions with one another. The most common types of intersegment transactions include the Warner Bros. segment generating revenues by licensing television and theatrical programming to the Turner and Home Box Office segments. While intersegment transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues (and corresponding expenses or assets recognized by the segment that is the counterparty to the transaction) are eliminated in consolidation and, therefore, do not affect consolidated results.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

Six Flags

In connection with the Company’s 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 Time Warner Cable Inc. 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 $895 million (for a net present value of $435 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 September 30, 2016. 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 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”) related to CNN America’s December 2003 and January 2004 terminations of its contractual relationships with Team Video, under which Team Video had provided electronic news gathering services in Washington, DC and New York, NY. The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, under which Team Video’s 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. In the complaint, the NLRB sought, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union members and monetary damages. On November 19, 2008, the presiding NLRB Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) issued a non-binding recommended decision and order finding CNN America liable. On September 15, 2014, a three-member panel of the NLRB affirmed the ALJ’s decision and adopted the ALJ’s order with certain modifications. On November 12, 2014, both CNN America and the NLRB General Counsel filed motions with the NLRB for reconsideration of the panel’s decision. On March 20, 2015, the NLRB granted the NLRB General Counsel’s motion for reconsideration to correct certain inadvertent errors in the panel’s decision, and it denied CNN America’s motion for reconsideration. On July 9, 2015, CNN America filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit regarding the panel’s decision and the denial of CNN America’s motion for reconsideration.

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.

TIME WARNER INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The Company has estimated a range of possible loss for legal claims for which the Company has determined a loss is probable or reasonably possible, including the matter disclosed above. The Company believes the estimate of the aggregate range of possible loss for such matters in excess of accrued liabilities is between $0 and $100 million at September 30, 2016. 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 Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

Income Tax Uncertainties

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded net decreases to income tax reserves of approximately $55 million. During this period, the Company recorded increases to income tax reserves of approximately $95 million that increased the effective tax rate for continuing operations as well as decreases of approximately $40 million related to discontinued foreign operations. In addition, during this period, the Company recorded net increases to interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $35 million.

In the Company’s 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 $0 to $15 million, most of which would decrease the Company’s effective tax rate.

Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements

The Company’s collaborative arrangements primarily relate to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions and an arrangement entered into with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (“CBS”) and The National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”).

For the Company’s collaborative arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $74 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for both the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and $192 million and $322 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The arrangement among Turner, CBS and the NCAA provides Turner and CBS with rights to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament (the “NCAA Tournament”) in the United States and its territories and possessions through 2032. The aggregate rights fee, production costs, advertising revenues and sponsorship revenues related to the NCAA Tournament and related programming are shared by Turner and CBS. However, if the amount paid for the 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, ranging from approximately $30 million to $45 million.

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 Company’s indentures on an unsecured basis.

There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 outstanding debt and the relevant intercompany amounts at the respective subsidiary.

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 provision has been allocated based on each such subsidiary’s 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 determined based on the temporary differences between the book and tax basis 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

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The proposed acquisition of Time Warner by AT&T may cause disruption in Time Warner’s business.

On October 22, 2016, the Company entered into the merger agreement with AT&T, pursuant to which Time Warner will combine with AT&T in a stock-and-cash transaction. The merger agreement generally requires the Company to operate its business in the ordinary course pending consummation of the proposed merger and restricts the Company, without AT&T’s consent, from taking certain specified actions until the merger is completed. These restrictions may affect the Company’s ability to execute its business strategies and attain its financial and other goals and may impact its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In connection with the pending merger, current and prospective employees of Time Warner may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company following the merger, which may materially adversely affect the ability of Time Warner to attract and retain key personnel while the merger is pending. Key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company following the merger, and may depart prior to payments that may be due pursuant to the retention plan put in place in connection with the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that Time Warner will be able to attract and retain key employees to the same extent that Time Warner has been able to in the past.

The proposed merger further could cause disruptions to the Company’s business or business relationships, which could have an adverse impact on results of operations. Parties with which the Company has business relationships may experience uncertainty as to the future of such relationships and may delay or defer certain business decisions, seek alternative relationships with third parties or seek to alter their present business relationships with the Company. Parties with whom the Company otherwise may have sought to establish business relationships may seek alternative relationships with third parties.

The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention away from day-to-day business concerns could adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

The Company also could be subject to litigation related to the proposed merger, which could result in significant costs and expenses. In addition to potential litigation-related expenses, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur other significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed merger, and many of these fees and costs are payable regardless of whether or not the proposed merger is consummated.

Failure to complete the merger in a timely manner or at all could negatively impact the market price of the Time Warner common stock, as well as the Company’s future business and its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company currently anticipates the merger will close before year-end 2017, but it cannot be certain when or if the conditions for the proposed merger will be satisfied or (if permissible under applicable law) waived. The merger cannot be completed until the conditions to closing are satisfied or (if permissible under applicable law) waived, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the holders of Time Warner common stock and the receipt of required antitrust and other regulatory approvals. In the event that the merger is not completed for any reason, the holders of Time Warner common stock will not receive any payment for their shares of Time Warner common stock in connection with the proposed merger. Instead, Time Warner will remain an independent public company and holders of Time Warner common stock will continue to own their shares of Time Warner common stock.

Additionally, if the merger is not consummated in a timely manner or at all, Time Warner’s ongoing business may be adversely affected as follows:

•

Time Warner may experience negative reactions from financial markets and the stock price could decline;

•

it may experience negative reactions from employees, customers, suppliers or other third parties;

•

management’s focus would have been diverted from pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to Time Warner; and

•

the costs of pursuing the merger may be higher than anticipated and would be born entirely by Time Warner.

If the merger with AT&T is not completed, there can be no assurance that these risks will not materialize and will not materially adversely affect Time Warner’s stock price, business, financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.

Time Warner and AT&T may be unable to obtain the approvals required to complete the proposed merger.

The consummation of the proposed merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including Time Warner stockholder approval and receipt of certain domestic and foreign antitrust and other regulatory approvals. If Time Warner and AT&T are unable to obtain these approvals, they may be unable to consummate the proposed merger. In addition, AT&T’s obligation to consummate the merger is subject to the condition that the required regulatory approvals be obtained without the imposition of certain divestiture requirements, capital expenditure requirements or other specified adverse effects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the various closing conditions will be satisfied and the proposed merger will be completed or that any required conditions will not materially adversely affect the combined company following the consummation of the merger or will not result in the abandonment or delay of the proposed merger.

The merger agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of Time Warner.

The merger agreement contains “no shop” provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict Time Warner’s ability to solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage and facilitate competing third-party proposals for the acquisition of its stock or assets. In addition, before the Time Warner board of directors withdraws, qualifies or modifies its recommendation of the proposed merger with AT&T or terminates the merger agreement to enter into a third-party acquisition proposal, AT&T generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the proposed merger. In some circumstances, upon termination of the merger agreement, Time Warner will be required to pay a termination fee of $1.725 billion.

These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of Time Warner from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash or market value than the market value proposed to be received or realized in the merger, or might otherwise result in a potential third-party acquirer proposing to pay a lower price to Time Warner stockholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances.

If the merger agreement is terminated and Time Warner decides to seek another business combination, it may not be able to negotiate or consummate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the merger agreement.

(2)

On February 10, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a total of $5.0 billion in share repurchases beginning January 1, 2016, including the approximately $902 million remaining at December 31, 2015 from the prior $5.0 billion authorization. Purchases under the stock repurchase program could be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions., with the size and timing of these purchases based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. The Company has repurchased shares of its common stock pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company discontinued share repurchases.
