PRESS RELEASE

Release Date : FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Reference : Paul Michael Villanueva, Jr. - Head, Treasury and Compliance Officer

ABS-CBN nets close to P1 billion for the first quarter of 2011 despite the absence of election related advertisements Quezon City, Philippines (May 12, 2011) – The consolidated net income of ABS-CBN Corporation (“ABS-CBN” or the “Company”) (PSE: ABS, ABSP), the country’s largest multimedia conglomerate, registered P976 million for the first three months of the year ending March 31, 2011. ABS-CBN delivered consolidated revenues of P6.6 billion from advertising and consumer sales, a 15% decline compared to a year ago. Less the revenues from political advocacies and advertisement from the first quarter of 2010, consolidated revenues in the first quarter of 2011 increased by 3% year-on-year. ABS-CBN’s advertising revenues declined 21% or P1.0 billion to reach P4.0 billion. Minus

the revenues from political advocacies and advertisement in the first quarter of 2010,

advertising revenues in the first quarter of 2011 increased by 10% year-on-year. This

increase is attributable to the rise in total advertising minutes sold and programmed

rate increase that took effect in February 2011.

Consumer sales for the first quarter of 2011 amounted to P2.5 billion, posting a 5%

decrease or P147 million less from a year ago, mainly from ABS-CBN Global. ABS-CBN

Global revenues declined by 15% year on year in peso terms due to the decline in

subscribers and the appreciation of the Philippine peso against the US dollar.

Meanwhile, Sky Cable continues to contribute positively with revenues increasing by 6%

to P1.0 billion. This is mostly driven by the increased take up of its broadband service

subscriptions which increased by 31% year-on-year

Total expenses declined by P721 million or 13% year-on-year to P4.7 billion partly due to

the lower cost of sales and services and general and administrative expenses (GAEX).

Net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2011 is at P976 million, inclusive of the gain on sale of Sky Cable Philippine Depositary Receipts (PDRs), a 10% decline year-on-year. Removing the effects of this one-time gain in the first quarter of 2011 and P1.40 billion revenues generated from political advocacies and political advertisement in the first quarter of 2010, net income would have increased by 12% year-on-year. Meanwhile, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) hit P2.1 billion, a 14% decline year-on-year. Stripping the one-time gain in the first quarter of 2011 and equally shaving the P1.40 billion revenues generated from political advocacies and political advertisement in the first quarter of 2010, EBITDA would have grown by 6% year-on-year Capital expenditure and film and program rights acquisition for the first quarter of 2011 amounted to P886 million, P400 million or 82% higher than the level of spending from previous year. These are all programmed expenditures to increase the company’s capacity to produce additional shows. ABS-CBN maintained its national audience share and ratings leadership with prime-time

audience share averaging 41% in the first quarter of 2011, going by Kantar Media

National TV Ratings’ figures.

For the period January to March 2011, all six of ABS-CBN’s primetime week-day shows

were in the Top 6: the Top 6: Emil Cruz Jr.'s Mara Clara, Pablo S. Gomez's Mutya,

Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, Noah, TV Patrol and Imortal. The same trend was repeated in

the week-end where ABS-CBN’s primetime week-end shows also dominated the top

programs: Pilipinas Got Talent (Saturday and Sunday edition), Wansapanataym : Ulo,

Kokak, Family Tree, and Buhawi Jack, Maalaala Mo Kaya..., Rated K Handa Na Ba Kayo?,

and Goin' Bulilit.

Primetime programs launched in the first quarter of 2011—Mutya and Pilipinas Got

Talent—enjoyed national program ratings in the 30s, and audience share in the high

40s.

ABS-CBN Global’s overall viewer count decreased by 3% year-on-year, driven by the

decline in subscriber growth in the Middle East, Europe and Japan. Double digit

subscriber growth continued to be experienced in Canada, and mid-to-high single digit

subscriber growth in Asia-Pacific and Australia.

Page 4: ABS-CBN Corporation · Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, Noah, TV Patrol and Imortal. The same trend was repeated in the week-end where ABS- N’s primetime week-end shows also dominated

ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc. released five films in the first three months of this year,

two more than the same period in 2010. Three of them–Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na

To, Dalaw and Catch Me I’m in Love–topped P100 million in box office receipts, earning

blockbuster status by local standards.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2011

For the first three months of the year ending March 31, 2011, ABS-CBN Corporation (“ABS-CBN” or the

“Company”) generated consolidated revenues of P6.56 billion from advertising and consumer sales, P1.19

billion or 15% lower year-on-year. Minus the revenues of P1.40 billion from political advocacies and political

advertisement in quarter of 2010, consolidated revenues increased by 3% year-on-year.

Overall, the contribution share of both advertising revenues and consumer sales to consolidated revenues remain robust in the absence of political advocacies and political advertisement. Advertising revenues contributed 61% of total consolidated revenues while consumer sales made up the balance of 39%.

Total expense in the first quarter of 2011 was at P4.72 billion, or a 13% decline year-on-year.

Reported net income was at P976 million for the first three months of 2011, inclusive of the P674 million gain

in sale of Sky Cable Philippine Depositary Receipts (PDRs), a 10% decline year-on-year. Removing the effects

of this one-time gain in the first quarter of 2011 and P1.40 billion revenues generated from political

advocacies and political advertisement in the first quarter of 2010, net income would have increased by 12%

year-on-year.

Reported EBITDA hit P2.10 billion in the first quarter of 2011, or a 14% decline year-on-year. Stripping the

one-time gain in the first quarter of 2011 and equally shaving the P1.40 billion revenues generated from

political advocacies and political advertisement in the first quarter of 2010, EBITDA would have grown by 6%

year-on-year.

Consolidated Revenues

For the three months ending March 31, 2011, ABS-CBN generated consolidated revenues of P6.56 billion from

advertising revenues and consumer sales, P1.19 billion or 15% lower year-on-year. Minus the revenues of

P1.40 billion from political advocacies and political advertisement in the first quarter of 2010, consolidated

revenues increase by 3% year-on-year.

With the absence of election-related advertising revenues in 2011, the contribution of consumer sales to total

revenues is higher at 39% from 35% a year ago.

Advertising Revenues

Consolidated advertising revenues across all platforms and subsidiaries declined by 21% to P4.01 billion.

Minus the revenues of P1.40 billion from political advocacies and political advertisement in the first quarter

of 2010, however, advertising revenues increase by 10% year-on-year. This increase is attributable to both

the increase in total advertising minutes sold and the rate adjustment that took effect in February this year.

Total advertising minutes sold by Channel 2 for the first three months of the year grew 12%. Underpinning

the growth in advertising is the continued ability of Channel 2 to deliver solid national program ratings and

audience shares.

ABS-CBN maintained its national audience share and ratings leadership with prime-time audience share

averaging 41% in the first quarter of 2011, with a 10 percentage point lead over GMA’s, based on the Kantar

National TV Ratings figure.

For the period January to March 2011, all six of the company’s primetime week-day shows were in the Top 6:

Emil Cruz Jr.'s Mara Clara, Pablo S. Gomez's Mutya, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, Noah, TV Patrol and Imortal. The

same trend was repeated in the week-end where the company’s primetime week-end shows also dominated

the top programs: Pilipinas Got Talent (Saturday and Sunday edition), Wansapanataym : Ulo, Kokak, Family

Tree, and Buhawi Jack, Maalaala Mo Kaya..., Rated K Handa Na Ba Kayo?, and Goin' Bulilit

Primetime programs launched in the first quarter of 2011—Mutya and Pilipinas Got Talent—enjoyed national

program ratings in the 30s, and audience share in the high 40s.

Consumer Sales

Consumer sales for the first quarter amounted to P2.55 billion, or a 5% decline year-on-year.

Consolidated Consumer Sales 2,547 2,694 (147) (5)

ABS-CBN Global’s revenues declined year-on-year by 15% in peso terms or 11% in US dollar terms. The

stronger decline in peso terms was due to 5% or P2.20 appreciation of the Philippine peso exchange rate

against the US dollar, from P45.99 in the first quarter of 2010 down to P43.79 in the first quarter this year.

ABS-CBN Global’s overall viewer count declined by 3% year-on-year to an estimated 2.38 million at the end of

March 2011, driven by the decline in subscriber growth in the Middle East, Europe and Japan. Double digit

growth continued to be experienced in Canada, and mid-to-high single digit growth in Asia-Pacific and

Australia.

Sky Cable’s consolidated revenues from cable TV and broadband services grew 6% year-on-year, driven by

26% growth in broadband revenues. Broadband service subscriptions surged 31% year-on-year, while

subscriptions to Sky Cable’s post-paid TV offering grew by 7%.

ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc. released five films in the first three months of this year, two more than the

same period in 2010. Three of them–Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na To, Dalaw and Catch Me I’m in Love–topped

P100 million in box office receipts, earning blockbuster status by local standards.

Production Costs

In the first quarter, total production costs rose by P454 million or 25% to P2.26 billion, due to higher

programming costs, particularly of primetime and noontime programs. Cash production costs went up by

P406 million or 27% year-on-year, mostly from increase from talent fee adjustments and from new programs

that brought talent fees, equipment rentals and service fees, and other expenses substantially higher.
