•

Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. This analysis is presented on both a consolidated and a business segment basis. In addition, a brief description of transactions and other items that affect the comparability of the results being analyzed is included.

•

Financial condition and liquidity. This section provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2015 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

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 six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company generated Revenues of $14.475 billion (up 7% from $13.591 billion in 2014), Operating Income of $3.645 billion (up 1% from $3.615 billion in 2014), Income from continuing operations of $1.904 billion (down 14% from $2.208 billion in 2014), Net Income of $1.941 billion (down 9% from $2.142 billion in 2014) and Cash provided by operations from continuing operations of $1.800 billion (down 12% from $2.057 billion in 2014). The Company’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were significantly impacted by the sale and leaseback of the Company’s space in Time Warner Center in January 2014. Refer to “Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability” for more information.

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 13, “Segment Information,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Turner. The Turner segment consists of businesses managed by Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“Turner”). During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Turner segment recorded Revenues of $5.537 billion (38% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $2.238 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 providing 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 subscription-video-on-demand (“SVOD”) services, and its brands and characters for consumer products. 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 CNN Go, 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 league 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 six months ended June 30, 2015, the Home Box Office segment recorded Revenues of $2.836 billion (19% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $966 million.

Home Box Office operates the HBO and Cinemax multi-channel premium pay television services, with the HBO service ranking as the most widely distributed multi-channel premium pay television service. HBO- and Cinemax-branded premium pay and basic tier television services are distributed in over 60 countries in Latin America, Asia and Europe. In the U.S., 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. HBO and Cinemax programming is available in the U.S. to subscribers of affiliates for viewing on its main HBO and Cinemax channels and its multiplex channels, through Home Box Office’s on demand services, HBO On Demand and Cinemax On Demand, and through Home Box Office’s streaming video-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. 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. In April 2015, Home Box Office launched HBO NOW, a stand-alone premium streaming service available to consumers in the U.S.

Home Box Office also derives subscription revenues from the distribution by international affiliates of country-specific HBO and Cinemax premium pay and basic tier television services to their local subscribers. HBO GO is available to HBO premium pay television subscribers in a number of countries outside the U.S.

Additional sources of revenues for Home Box Office are (i) the home entertainment sales of its original programming, including Game of Thrones, True Blood, True Detective and Boardwalk Empire, on DVDs and Blu-ray Discs and via electronic sell-through (“EST”) and (ii) the licensing of its original programming to 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Warner Bros. segment recorded Revenues of $6.497 billion (43% of the Company’s total Revenues) and Operating Income of $665 million.

Warner Bros. is a leader in television production and distribution. For the 2015/2016 season, Warner Bros. expects to produce over 60 original series in the U.S., including (i) at least two series for each of the five broadcast networks (including 2 Broke Girls, Arrow, The Bachelor, The Big Bang Theory, Blindspot, DC Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, Gotham, Lucifer, The Middle, Mike & Molly, Mom, Rush Hour, Supergirl, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries and The Voice), (ii) series for basic cable networks (including Major Crimes, Pretty Little Liars and Rizzoli & Isles), (iii) series for premium pay television services (including The Leftovers, Shameless and Westworld), (iv) series for SVOD services (including 11/22/63, Fuller House and Longmire), (v) series for first-run syndication (including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Extra and TMZ) and (vi) animated series for Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Disney XD. 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 16 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. Television product revenues are generated principally from the licensing of programs to broadcast and cable television networks and premium pay television and SVOD services.

Warner Bros. is also 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: American Sniper, Entourage, Get Hard, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Mad Max: Fury Road, Magic Mike XXL and San Andreas, and subsequently through licensing fees received from the distribution of films on premium pay television, television broadcast and cable networks and SVOD services.

TIME WARNER INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

The segment also generates television and theatrical product revenues from the distribution of television and theatrical product in various digital formats (e.g., EST and video-on-demand) and on DVDs and Blu-ray Discs for home entertainment. In addition, the segment generates revenues through the development and distribution of videogames, including the following recently released videogames: Batman: Arkham Knight and Mortal Kombat X. Warner Bros.’ television, film and videogame businesses benefit from a shared infrastructure, including shared production, distribution, marketing and administrative functions and resources.

The distribution and sale of physical discs is one of the largest contributors to the segment’s revenues and profits. For the past several years, sales of physical discs 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 DVDs and Blu-ray Discs to the electronic delivery of such content. Several factors have contributed to this decline, including consumers shifting to SVOD services and discount rental kiosks, which generate significantly less revenue per transaction for the Company than physical disc sales; changing retailer initiatives and strategies (e.g., reduction of floor space devoted to physical discs); retail store closures; 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 Warner Bros. segment, which has helped to offset some of the decline in sales of physical discs. During the first half of 2015, across the home entertainment industry, consumer spending on physical discs continued to decline and consumer spending on electronic delivery continued to increase.

Recent Developments

Debt Offerings, Tender Offer and Debt Redemption

On June 4, 2015, Time Warner issued $2.1 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities under a shelf registration statement.

On July 28, 2015, Time Warner issued €700 million aggregate principal amount of debt securities under a shelf registration statement.

In June 2015, Time Warner purchased $687 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) through a tender offer. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the premiums paid and costs incurred in connection with this purchase were $51 million and recorded in Other income (loss), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

On July 31, 2015, the Company issued a notice of redemption for the $313 million aggregate principal amount of its 2016 Notes that remain outstanding following the tender offer. The Company expects to redeem the 2016 Notes on August 31, 2015 and anticipates premiums and costs of approximately $20 million to be incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

See “Financial Condition and Liquidity – Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements” for further information.

Venezuela Currency

Certain of the Company’s divisions conduct business with third parties located in Venezuela and, as a result, the Company holds net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan Bolivares Fuertes (“VEF”) that primarily consist of cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2014, the Company used the SICAD 2 exchange rate to remeasure its VEF-denominated monetary assets. Because of Venezuelan government-imposed restrictions on the exchange of VEF into foreign currency in Venezuela, the Company has not been able to convert VEF earned in Venezuela into U.S. Dollars through the Venezuelan government’s foreign currency exchanges.

On February 10, 2015, Venezuelan government officials announced changes to Venezuela’s foreign currency exchange system. Those changes included the elimination of the SICAD 2 exchange due to the merger of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 exchanges into a single SICAD exchange as well as the creation of the Simadi exchange, which is a new free market foreign currency exchange. On their initial date of activity, the exchange rates published by the Central Bank of Venezuela were 12 VEF to each U.S. Dollar for the

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

SICAD exchange and 170 VEF to each U.S. Dollar for the Simadi exchange. Given the restrictions associated with the official government rate and the SICAD exchange, starting on February 10, 2015, the Company began to use the Simadi exchange rate to remeasure its VEF-denominated transactions and balances and recognized a pretax foreign exchange loss of $22 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Consolidated Results

The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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


	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		% Change	2015		2014		% Change

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Revenues at the Turner segment increased primarily driven by higher Content and other and Subscription revenues. Revenues at the Home Box Office segment increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 mainly due to higher Subscription revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Revenues at the Warner Bros. segment increased driven by higher Videogames and other and Television product revenues, partially offset by lower Theatrical product revenues. The strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies to which the Company is exposed resulted in a decline in the Company’s Revenues of approximately $265 million and $500 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Each of the revenue categories is discussed in greater detail by segment in “Business Segment Results.”

The increase in Subscription revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was driven by higher domestic revenues of $44 million and $84 million, respectively, partially offset by lower international revenues of $24 million and $26 million, respectively. Domestic subscription revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to higher contractual rates, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was partially offset by fewer subscribers. International subscription revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was more than offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $50 million and $85 million, respectively.

The decrease in Advertising revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to a $19 million decline in international revenues, reflecting unfavorable foreign exchange rates of approximately $30 million. Domestic advertising revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $7 million driven by Turner’s news businesses and the 2015 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Men’s Basketball Championship tournament (the “NCAA Tournament”), partially offset by lower audience delivery at certain domestic entertainment networks and the absence of Advertising revenues in 2015 associated with NASCAR television programming. The increase in Advertising revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflected domestic growth of $50 million mainly driven by Turner’s news businesses and the NCAA Tournament, partially offset by lower audience

delivery at certain of its domestic entertainment networks and the absence of Advertising revenues in 2015 associated with NASCAR television programming as well as a decrease in international revenues of $20 million reflecting the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $50 million.

The increase in Content and other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to higher license fees from SVOD services.

The components of Costs of revenues for the Turner segment are as follows (millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		% Change	2015		2014		% Change

Costs of revenues (a)	$	1,230	$	1,342	(8)%	$	2,399	$	2,546	(6)%

(a)	Costs of revenues exclude depreciation.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, programming costs decreased primarily due to lower acquired films and syndicated series costs, which was due to the timing and mix of programming as a result of the abandonment of certain programming during 2014. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Originals and sports programming costs decreased primarily due to the absence of programming costs in 2015 associated with NASCAR.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, Selling, general and administrative expenses were essentially flat as lower costs primarily due to operational efficiency initiatives, including the restructuring activities undertaken in 2014, were offset by the absence in the current period of the reversal in 2014 of a $20 million accrued contingency. The decrease in Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to lower marketing expenses of $51 million due to timing as well as operational efficiency initiatives, including the 2014 restructuring, partially offset by the absence in the current period of the reversal in 2014 of a $20 million accrued contingency.

On June 13, 2014, Time Warner’s Board of Directors authorized up to $5.0 billion of share repurchases in addition to the $5.0 billion it had previously authorized for share repurchases beginning January 1, 2014. 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 are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From January 1, 2015 through July 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 24 million shares of common stock for $2.041 billion pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Cash Flows

Cash and equivalents increased by $504 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Cash and equivalents increased by $2.664 billion, including $189 million of Cash used by discontinued operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Components of these changes are discussed below in more detail.

Operating Activities from Continuing Operations

Details of Cash provided by operations from continuing operations are as follows (millions):

Cash provided by operations from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased primarily due to higher cash used by working capital, partially offset by lower net income taxes paid. Cash used by working capital increased primarily due to higher content investments, higher receivables due to the timing of collections and revenue growth as well as higher payments related to restructuring initiatives undertaken in 2014.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)

The change in Cash provided (used) by investing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to proceeds received in 2014 in connection with the Time Separation and from the sale of space in Time Warner Center, partially offset by a decrease in investment and acquisition spending. Included in Investments and acquisitions, net of cash acquired for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are payments of $56 million and $91 million, respectively, related to the Hudson Yards development project.

Cash used by financing activities from continuing operations	$	(1,067)	$	(911)

Cash used by financing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased primarily due to an increase in Debt repayments, a decrease in Borrowings and an increase in cash used for Other financing activities, partially offset by a decrease in Repurchases of common stock. The increase in cash used for Other financing activities was primarily due to premiums paid and costs incurred in connection with the purchase of $687 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% Notes due 2016 through a tender offer. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued approximately 4 million shares of common stock and received $121 million in connection with the exercise of stock options. At June 30, 2015, all of the approximately 21 million exercisable stock options outstanding on such date had exercise prices below the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

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 services domestically and premium pay and basic tier television 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, 2014 (the “2014 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.

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 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.

Approximately $15 million of such loss related to cash balances.

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2015

Fair Value Measurement

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company early adopted guidance that eliminated the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which net asset value per share was used as a practical expedient to measure fair value. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, guidance was issued that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under this new guidance, a discontinued operation is (i) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has had or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. This guidance also requires expanded or new disclosures for discontinued operations, individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation, an entity’s continuing involvement with a discontinued operation following disposal and retained equity method investments in a discontinued operation. This guidance became effective on a prospective basis for the Company on January 1, 2015 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

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, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

In February 2015, guidance was issued that changes how companies evaluate entities for consolidation. The changes primarily relate to (i) the identification of variable interests related to fees paid to decision makers or service providers, (ii) how entities determine whether limited partnerships or similar entities are variable interest entities, (iii) how related parties and de facto agents are considered in the primary beneficiary determination, and (iv) the elimination of the presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership. This guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 on either a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, guidance was issued that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of such debt. This guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

In April 2015, guidance was issued that clarifies how fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement are accounted for. The guidance provides that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for in a manner consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. The guidance also provides that if a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Event

On July 28, 2015, Time Warner issued €700 million aggregate principal amount of 1.95% Notes due 2023 under a shelf registration statement (the “July 2015 Debt Offering”). The securities issued in the July 2015 Debt Offering are guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by Historic TW Inc. (“Historic TW”). In addition, Turner and Home Box Office guarantee, on an unsecured basis, Historic TW’s guarantee of the securities. The net proceeds from the issuance of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes.

2.	BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS AND ACQUISITIONS

Summary of Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was income of $37 million ($0.05 of diluted net income per common share), primarily related to the final resolution of a tax indemnification obligation associated with the disposition of Warner Music Group in 2004.

During 2014, the Company completed the legal and structural separation of Time Inc. With the completion of the separation, the Company disposed of its Time Inc. segment in its entirety and ceased to consolidate Time Inc.’s financial position and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has presented the financial position and results of operations of its former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Financial data for discontinued operations is as follows for three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (millions, except per share amounts):

3.	INVESTMENTS

Investment in Hudson Yards Development Project

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company finalized agreements relating to the construction and development of office and studio space in the Hudson Yards development on the west side of Manhattan in order to move its Corporate headquarters and New York City-based employees to the new space. The Company will fund its proportionate share of the costs for the construction and development through a limited liability corporation (“LLC”) that is controlled by the developer and managed by an affiliate of the developer. As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s investment in the LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, is approximately $164 million and is included in Investments, including available-for-sale securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Based on current construction cost estimates and space projections, the Company expects to invest an additional $1.9 billion in the Hudson Yards development project through 2019.

Central European Media Enterprises Ltd.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had an approximate 49.5% voting interest in Central European Media Enterprises Ltd.’s (“CME”) common stock and an approximate 75.6% economic interest in CME on a diluted basis.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned 61.4 million shares of CME’s Class A common stock and 1 share of Series A convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into 11.2 million shares of CME’s Class A common stock and votes with the Class A common stock on an as-converted basis. The Company accounts for its investment in CME’s Class A common stock and Series A convertible preferred stock under the equity method of accounting.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned shares of CME’s Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares, which may be converted into 95.9 million shares of CME’s Class A common stock at the Company’s option at any time after June 25, 2016. The Company accounts for its investment in CME’s Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares under the cost method of accounting.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned 3.4 million senior secured notes due 2017 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), each consisting of an initial $100 principal amount plus accrued interest of 15%. The Senior Secured Notes are accounted for at their amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company held 101 million warrants to purchase one share of CME Class A common stock. The warrants issued to Time Warner have a four-year term and an exercise price of $1.00 per share, do not contain any voting rights and are not exercisable until May 2016. The warrants are subject to a limited right whereby the Company can exercise any of its warrants earlier solely to own up to 49.9% of CME’s Class A common stock. The warrants are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The initial fair value of the warrants was recognized as a discount to the Senior Secured Notes and the term loan provided by the Company to CME (as described below) and a deferred gain related to the revolving credit facility provided by the Company to CME (as described below).

Time Warner has also provided CME a $115 million revolving credit facility and a $30 million term loan that both mature on December 1, 2017. CME can pay accrued interest on the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loan either in cash or by adding the amount of accrued interest to the outstanding principal amount of the term loan or revolving credit facility, as applicable. As of June 30, 2015, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the carrying value of amounts outstanding under the term loan was $17 million and is classified as other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On November 14, 2014, Time Warner and CME entered into an agreement pursuant to which Time Warner agreed to assist CME in refinancing $261 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) and €240 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”). In connection with this agreement, CME entered into a €251 million senior unsecured term loan that matures on November 1, 2017 (the “2017 Term Loan”) with third-party financial institutions the same day. Time Warner has guaranteed CME’s obligations under the 2017 Term Loan for a fee equal to 8.5% less the interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan. The fee is payable to Time Warner in cash or in kind at CME’s option. CME used the proceeds of the 2017 Term Loan to redeem the 2017 Notes. CME also entered into unsecured interest rate hedge arrangements to protect against changes in the applicable interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan during its term. Time Warner has also guaranteed CME’s obligations under the hedge arrangements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Upon maturity of the 2015 Notes in November 2015, Time Warner will, at its option, either (i) guarantee a Euro-equivalent $261 million unsecured term loan due November 1, 2019 (the “2015 Term Loan”) obtained by CME from one or more third-party financial institutions, for a fee equal to 8.5% less the interest rate on the 2015 Term Loan or (ii) provide a Euro-equivalent $261 million senior secured term loan that matures on November 1, 2019 directly to CME, with an 8.5% interest rate (the “Time Warner Loan”). The guarantee fee or interest payments, as applicable, will be paid to Time Warner in cash or in kind at CME’s option. Not later than the maturity of the 2015 Term Loan or the Time Warner Loan, as applicable, Time Warner also will earn a commitment fee of $9 million, which will accrue interest at 8.5% from the date of the 2015 Term Loan or Time Warner Loan, as applicable, until paid.

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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively (millions):


	June 30, 2015								December 31, 2014

(a)	Consists of investments related to deferred compensation.

The Company primarily applies the market approach for valuing recurring fair value measurements. As of June 30, 2015, assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) primarily related to a $137 million asset related to warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of CME. 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 June 30, 2015 are an expected term of 2.07 years and an expected volatility of approximately 80%. As of both June 30, 2015 and 2014, the other Level 3 assets and liabilities consisted of assets related to equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the Company, liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities.

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 June 30, 2015, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $2.874 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2014, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $4.251 billion. The fair value of Time Warner’s 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.

Information as of June 30, 2015 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)	$	—	$	158	Level 1
Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares	$	—	$	209	Level 2
Senior secured notes	$	199	$	401	Level 2

(a)	Includes one 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 June 30, 2015 closing price of CME’s common stock. The fair value of the Company’s investment in CME’s Senior Secured Notes is primarily determined by reference to observable sales transactions.

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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company performed impairment reviews of certain intangible assets at international subsidiaries of Turner and Home Box Office. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded noncash impairments of $5 million to write down the value of these assets to $7 million. 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, 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 determined 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 writedown		Carrying value after writedown
Fair value measurements made during the three months ended June 30,:

6.	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

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 debt due to changes in the underlying foreign exchange rates.

Included in Other loss, net is the impact of hedge ineffectiveness and forward points and option premiums, which are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Such amounts were 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 certain of 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (millions):


	June 30, 2015 (a)		December 31, 2014 (b)

Included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are net gains of $12 million and net losses of $5 million, respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months.

7.	LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Debt Offering and Tender Offer

On June 4, 2015, Time Warner issued $2.1 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities under a shelf registration statement, consisting of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.60% Notes due 2025 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.85% Debentures due 2045 (the “June 2015 Debt Offering”). The securities issued in the June 2015 Debt Offering are guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by Historic TW. In addition, Turner and Home Box Office guarantee, on an unsecured basis, Historic TW’s guarantee of the securities. The net proceeds to the Company from the June 2015 Debt Offering were $2.083 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the June 2015 Debt Offering to retire at maturity the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 3.15% Notes due July 15, 2015. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases.

In June 2015, Time Warner purchased $687 million aggregate principal amount of the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 5.875% Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) through a tender offer. The premiums paid and costs incurred in connection with the purchase of the 2016 Notes were $51 million and recorded in Other income (loss), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

8.	SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Repurchase Program

In January 2014, Time Warner’s Board of Directors authorized up to $5.0 billion of share repurchases beginning January 1, 2014, including amounts available under the Company’s prior stock repurchase program as of December 31, 2013. In June 2014, Time Warner’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $5.0 billion of share repurchases. 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 are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

From January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately 21 million shares of common stock for approximately $1.800 billion pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of June 30, 2015, $2.700 billion remained under the stock repurchase program.

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 services domestically and premium pay and basic tier television 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. These intersegment transactions are recorded by each segment at estimated fair value as if the transactions were with third parties and, therefore, affect segment performance. 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.

Information as to the Revenues, intersegment revenues, Operating Income (Loss) and Assets of Time Warner’s reportable segments is set forth below (millions):

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 $914 million (for a net present value of $426 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 June 30, 2015. 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 September 16, 2014, CNN America filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. 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 December 17, 2014, CNN America’s appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals was placed on hold pending resolution of the motions for reconsideration. 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, which notice of appeal supersedes CNN America’s earlier notice of appeal.

In April 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) Appeals Division issued a notice of deficiency to the Company relating to the appropriate tax characterization of stock warrants received from Google Inc. in 2002. On May 6, 2013, the Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court seeking a redetermination of the deficiency set forth in the notice. The Company’s petition asserts that the IRS erred in determining that the stock warrants were taxable upon exercise (in 2004) rather than at the date of grant based on, among other things, a misapplication of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. In December 2014, the Company reached a preliminary agreement with the IRS to resolve the issues raised in the notice of deficiency. Final resolution of these issues is subject to agreement regarding certain necessary computations and the preparation and execution of definitive documentation.

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, the Company has estimated a range of possible loss. The Company believes the estimate of the aggregate range of possible loss for such matters in excess of accrued liabilities is between $0 and $130 million at June 30, 2015. 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 six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded net decreases to income tax reserves of approximately $54 million, of which approximately $12 million impacted the Company’s effective tax rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded net increases to interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $29 million.

TIME WARNER INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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 $80 million, most of which would decrease the Company’s effective tax rate.

15.

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. The transactions that generate revenue and expenses primarily relate to the licensing by the Warner Bros. segment of television programming to The CW broadcast network and certain international networks, including networks owned by CME. Transactions that generate interest income and other, net relate to financing transactions with CME. Amounts included in the consolidated financial statements resulting from transactions with related parties consist of (millions):

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 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 Men’s Basketball Championship events (the “NCAA Tournament”) in the United States and its territories and possessions through 2024.

For the Company’s collaborative arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $121 million and $187 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $248 million and $305 million were recorded in Costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 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, ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 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) benefit 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 1. Legal Proceedings.

The following information supplements and amends the disclosure set forth in Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (the “March 2015 Form 10-Q”).

Reference is made to the complaint issued by the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) against CNN America Inc. (“CNN America”) and Team Video Services, LLC described on page 27 of the 2014 Form 10-K and page 48 of the March 2015 Form 10-Q. On July 9, 2015, CNN America filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit regarding (i) the decision of a three-member panel of the NLRB affirming the presiding NLRB Administrative Law Judge’s decision and order finding CNN America liable and (ii) the NLRB’s denial of CNN America’s motion for reconsideration of the panel’s decision. CNN America’s notice of appeal supersedes an earlier notice of appeal filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on September 16, 2014.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of the 2014 Form 10-K.

On February 5, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a total of $5.0 billion in share repurchases beginning January 1, 2014, including the approximately $301 million remaining at December 31, 2013 from the prior $4.0 billion authorization.
