AT&T and Discovery Will Hold Joint Press Conference at 7:30am EDT and a Separate Call with

Investors Will Begin at 8:30am EDT

Dallas, TX and New York, NY – May 17, 2021. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISCA, DISCB, DISCK) today announced a definitive agreement to combine WarnerMedia’s premium entertainment, sports and news assets with Discovery’s leading nonfiction and international entertainment and sports businesses to create a premier, standalone global entertainment company.

Under the terms of the agreement, which is structured as an all-stock, Reverse Morris Trust transaction, AT&T would receive $43 billion (subject to adjustment) in a combination of cash, debt securities, and WarnerMedia’s retention of certain debt, and AT&T’s shareholders would receive stock representing 71% of the new company; Discovery shareholders would own 29% of the new company. The Boards of Directors of both AT&T and Discovery have approved the transaction.

The companies expect the transaction will create substantial value for AT&T and Discovery shareholders by:

 

   

Bringing together the strongest leadership teams, content creators, and high-quality series and film libraries in the media business.

 

   

Accelerating both companies’ plans for leading direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming services for global consumers.

 

   

Uniting complementary and diverse content strengths with broad appeal — WarnerMedia’s robust studios and portfolio of iconic scripted entertainment, animation, news and sports with Discovery’s global leadership in unscripted and international entertainment and sports.

 

   

Forming a new company that will have significant scale and investment resources with projected 2023 Revenue of approximately $52 billion, adjusted EBITDA of approximately $14 billion, and an industry leading Free Cash Flow conversion rate of approximately 60%.


   

Creating at least $3 billion in expected cost synergies annually for the new company to increase its investment in content and digital innovation, and to scale its global DTC business.

For AT&T and its shareholders, this transaction provides an opportunity to unlock value in its media assets and to better position the media business to take advantage of the attractive DTC trends in the industry. Additionally, the transaction allows the company to better capitalize on the longer-term demand for connectivity:

 

   

AT&T shareholders participate in a leading media company with a broad global portfolio of brands, tremendous DTC potential and strengthened combined assets.

 

   

Creates substantial value opportunity for AT&T shareholders through stepped-up investment in growth areas – mobile and fixed broadband.

 

   

Capital structure improvement after closing will position AT&T as one of the best capitalized 5G and fiber broadband companies in the United States.

 

   

Results in two independent companies – one broadband connectivity and the other media – to sharpen the investment focus and attract the best investor base for each company.

A Stronger Competitor in Global Streaming

The new company will compete globally in the fast-growing direct-to-consumer business — bringing compelling content to DTC subscribers across its portfolio, including HBO Max and the recently launched discovery+. The transaction will combine WarnerMedia’s storied content library of popular and valuable IP with Discovery’s global footprint, trove of local-language content and deep regional expertise across more than 200 countries and territories. The new company will be able to invest in more original content for its streaming services, enhance the programming options across its global linear pay TV and broadcast channels, and offer more innovative video experiences and consumer choices.

Uniting Dynamic, Enduring and Historic Brands and Franchises

The “pure play” content company will own one of the deepest libraries in the world with nearly 200,000 hours of iconic programming and will bring together over 100 of the most cherished, popular and trusted brands in the world under one global portfolio, including: HBO, Warner Bros., Discovery, DC Comics, CNN, Cartoon Network, HGTV, Food Network, the Turner Networks, TNT, TBS, Eurosport, Magnolia, TLC, Animal Planet, ID and many more.

The new company will be able to increase investment and capabilities in original content and programming; create more opportunity for under-represented storytellers and independent creators; serve customers with innovative video experiences and points of engagement; and propel more investment in high-quality, family-friendly nonfiction content.


Leadership, Governance and Structure

The companies announced that Discovery President and CEO David Zaslav will lead the proposed new company with a best-in-class management team and top operational and creative leadership from both companies.

Discovery’s current multiple classes of shares will be consolidated to a single class with one vote per share.

The new company’s Board of Directors will consist of 13 members, 7 initially appointed by AT&T, including the chairperson of the board; Discovery will initially appoint 6 members, including CEO David Zaslav.

Executive Commentary

John Stankey Said:

“This agreement unites two entertainment leaders with complementary content strengths and positions the new company to be one of the leading global direct-to-consumer streaming platforms. It will support the fantastic growth and international launch of HBO Max with Discovery’s global footprint and create efficiencies which can be re-invested in producing more great content to give consumers what they want. For AT&T shareholders, this is an opportunity to unlock value and be one of the best capitalized broadband companies, focused on investing in 5G and fiber to meet substantial, long-term demand for connectivity. AT&T shareholders will retain their stake in our leading communications company that comes with an attractive dividend. Plus, they will get a stake in the new company, a global media leader that can build one of the top streaming platforms in the world.”

David Zaslav Said:

“During my many conversations with John, we always come back to the same simple and powerful strategic principle: these assets are better and more valuable together. It is super exciting to combine such historic brands, world class journalism and iconic franchises under one roof and unlock so much value and opportunity. With a library of cherished IP, dynamite management teams and global expertise in every market in the world, we believe everyone wins...consumers with more diverse choices, talent and storytellers with more resources and compelling pathways to larger audiences, and shareholders with a globally scaled growth company committed to a strong balance sheet that is better positioned to compete with the world’s largest streamers. We will build a new chapter together with the creative and talented WarnerMedia team and these incredible assets built on a nearly 100-year legacy of the most wonderful storytelling in the world. That will be our singular mission: to focus on telling the most amazing stories and have a ton of fun doing it.”


Transaction Highlights

The combination will be executed through a Reverse Morris Trust, under which WarnerMedia will be spun or split off to AT&T’s shareholders via dividend or through an exchange offer or a combination of both and simultaneously combined with Discovery. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to AT&T and AT&T’s shareholders.

In connection with the spin-off or split-off of WarnerMedia, AT&T will receive $43 billion (subject to adjustment) in a combination of cash, debt securities and WarnerMedia’s retention of certain debt. The new company expects to maintain investment grade rating and utilize the significant cash flow of the combined company to rapidly de-lever to approximately 3.0x within 24 months, and to target a new, longer term gross leverage target of 2.5x-3.0x. WarnerMedia has secured fully committed financing from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and affiliates of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC for the purposes of funding the distribution.

The transaction is anticipated to close in mid-2022, subject to approval by Discovery shareholders and customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. No vote is required by AT&T shareholders. Agreements are in place with Dr. John Malone and Advance to vote in favor of the transaction.

AT&T Preliminary Financial Profile Following Completion of the Transaction; Focused Total Return Strategy for Capital Allocation; After Close, Dividend Payout Ratio1 Expected to be Low 40s%.

After close and on a pro-forma basis, AT&T expects its remaining assets to produce the following financial trajectory from 2022 to 2024:

 

   

Annual revenue growth: low single digits CAGR2

 

   

Annual adjusted EBITDA3 and adjusted EPS4 growth: mid-single digits CAGR

 

   

Significantly increased financial flexibility to drive returns to shareholders, including:

 

   

Expected increased capital investment for incremental investments in 5G and fiber broadband. The company expects annual capital expenditures of around $24 billion once the transaction closes. AT&T expects its 5G C-band network will cover 200 million people in the U.S. by year-end 2023. And the company plans to expand its fiber footprint to cover 30 million customer locations by year-end 2025.

 

1 

Dividend payout ratio is total dividends paid divided by free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. Free cash flow is cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash from operating activities and capital expenditures, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation between projected free cash flow and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort.

2 

Compound annual growth rate.

3 

EBITDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization.

4 

The company (AT&T) expects adjustments to 2021-2024 reported diluted EPS to include merger-related amortization ($4.3 billion for 2021 and approximately $1 billion per quarter in 2022 until closing of the transaction) and other adjustments, a non-cash mark-to-market benefit plan gain/loss, and other items. The company expects the mark-to-market adjustment, which is driven by interest rates and investment returns that are not reasonably estimable at this time, to be a significant item. AT&T’s 2021 EPS depends on future levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we cannot provide a reconciliation between these projected non-GAAP metrics and the reported GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort.


   

Significant debt reduction: Expect Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA5 in the 2.6x range after transaction closes and less than 2.5x by year end 2023.

 

   

Attractive dividend – resized to account for the distribution of WarnerMedia to AT&T shareholders. After close and subject to AT&T Board approval, AT&T expects an annual dividend payout ratio of 40% to 43% on anticipated free cash flow1 of $20 billion plus.

 

   

The optionality to repurchase shares once Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is less than 2.5x.

Subject Company: Discovery, Inc.

Commission File No.: 001-34177

EMAIL SUBJECT: A Premier Global Entertainment Leader: A Message from David Zaslav

Today is such a momentous day for Discovery.

I am so excited to share the news that we have reached a definitive agreement for AT&T to spin off its storied WarnerMedia assets into a new company with Discovery. This combination will create a premier global entertainment company.

Obviously an historic watershed for this great company!

AT&T CEO John Stankey and I have been discussing a singular vision for a while now...that simply put: these assets are better together…in fact, not just better together, but together we are a significantly stronger, more dynamic and compelling company...one that is even better positioned to be a next-generation global media leader.

Our shared vision is one of a pure-play entertainment company, bringing together the most cherished franchises in the world across top programming genres, including premium television and movies, animation, global sports and news, kids and families, non-fiction lifestyle and real-life entertainment all under one roof.

Our combined excellence in storytelling and streaming, and our deep global footprint will form a customer-driven company strongly positioned for the future, and to become a top-tier streaming competitor.

This new company makes huge sense. The combination of our brands, assets, content, global reach and creative leadership will position us for sustainable growth in an entertainment landscape in which we now compete against some very deep pockets. We will be able to serve consumers in more compelling ways than ever before, and invest more in content, programming and storytelling.

Together, we will be able to offer a global portfolio of brands and beloved franchises on Day One. Discovery’s unparalleled portfolio of leading local and global real-life entertainment brands and content, combined with the storied Warner Brothers Studios and Pictures...the pioneering HBO…the global journalism of CNN... sports rights from NBA, NHL, MLB and March Madness in the US…great kids content from the Cartoon Network, Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera catalogues...and the industry’s deepest library of 200,000 hours, including many of the world’s


most iconic, fan-favorites from Casablanca to DC Comics, Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings, the Big Bang Theory, Friends, Game of Thrones, Dune, Matrix, Sex in the City, the Sopranos and Wizard of Oz!

If you aren’t totally familiar with WarnerMedia’s amazing brands, please click on this video to see how we imagine this new company.

I realize this news probably comes as a surprise!

First, none of this would be possible without your hard work, creativity and grit in building and growing Discovery into the dynamic media company we are today. It is a huge testament to all of you that AT&T is entrusting us to bring its crown jewel entertainment assets into the future alongside our own.

Second, I will be running the combined company and feel great about bringing two strong cultures together that share a deep commitment to their people, their values and mission...and quality impactful storytelling. I also appreciate that you may have questions about the synergy estimates we have announced, and rest assured we will work diligently and conscientiously through that process, and always communicate as transparently as possible...but know that nothing can happen on this front until after the deal is approved and closed sometime in first half of 2022. This transaction will also create meaningful growth opportunities for many of our employees, as well as for our talent and franchises, as we get the opportunity to compete at a much bigger table.

Third, this process will take time. We expect the deal to be approved in the first half of next year. In the meantime, it’s fully business as usual, and we need to keep our eye on the ball and continue to drive our standalone company forward, including our ambitious plans for discovery+. At the same time, we will of course keep you posted on developments, and when and how we can start engaging with our counterparts.

I know you will have plenty of questions, so please join me alongside John Stankey, CEO of AT&T, for a virtual global Town Hall on Wednesday, May 19 at 10am ET.

Today we stand on the shoulders of John Hendricks, John Malone, Bob Miron and the Newhouse Family — the visionaries who saw the consumer demand for non-fiction excellence, creating the Discovery Channel as one stand-alone network based in Landover, Maryland; and Ken Lowe, who turned an idea for a cable network about homes and gardens into a global media lifestyle phenomenon. Through innovation, risk-taking and hard work, that initial Discovery Channel has grown into one of the most admired media companies in the world today.

I want to give a very special shout-out to the Discovery teams who got this unprecedented deal done...first to Bruce Campbell, Elizabeth Newell, Dan Fox and the entire Corporate Development team, and Gunnar Wiedenfels, Fraser Woodford, Andrew Slabin, Todd Davis and the Finance team….simply put, we would not be here if not for Bruce and Gunnar and their steady leadership, ingenuity and warrior mentality of grinding out too many all-nighters to count! Thanks also to Savalle Sims, Tara Smith and the Legal team…David Leavy, Nathaniel Brown


and the Comms team...and JB and Adria for their contributions to position us for great success today and going forward. These leaders are all high-character individuals whose strong and consistent leadership makes this the best team in the business, and I am grateful for their dedication to Discovery.

In closing…this is a huge moment for me personally and I know for all of you. What started as an ambitious vision 35 years ago to create a purpose-driven company and culture to tell important stories the right way, has grown from three networks to one of the world’s most dynamic and global media companies. It has brought us to this remarkable moment, and I have never been more excited about the opportunity and challenges ahead.

The energy you bring every single day to Discovery sets us on a course for a very bright future. You have my gratitude. See you Wednesday...

Best,

David

Q&A


Slide 17

17 Notes A1. CAGR is Compound annual growth rate. A2. EBITDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization. A3. The company (AT&T) expects adjustments to 2021-2024 reported diluted EPS to include merger-related amortization ($4.3 billion for 2021 and approximately $1 billion per quarter in 2022 until closing of the transaction) and other adjustments, a non-cash mark-to-market benefit plan gain/loss, and other items. The company expects the mark-to-market adjustment, which is driven by interest rates and investment returns that are not reasonably estimable at this time, to be a significant item. AT&T’s 2021 EPS depends on future levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we cannot provide a reconciliation between these projected non-GAAP metrics and the reported GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort. A4. Dividend payout ratio is total dividends paid divided by free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. Free cash flow is cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash from operating activities and capital expenditures, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation between projected free cash flow and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort. A5. Net Debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. Net Debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios are non-GAAP financial measures that are frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. Our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing the Net Debt by the sum of the most recent four quarters of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA estimates depend on future levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we cannot provide a reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA and the and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort. D1. Free cash flow, gross leverage, net leverage and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. Free cash flow is cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash from operating activities and capital expenditures, we are not able to provide a reconciliation between projected free cash flow and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort.  Gross leverage is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of the most recent four quarters Adjusted EBITDA. Net leverage is calculated by dividing net debt (total debt less cash) by the sum of the most recent four quarters Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA estimates depend on future levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we are not able to provide a reconciliation between adjusted EBITDA and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort.  In addition, pro forma free cash flow, net leverage and adjusted EBITDA for the combined entity are estimates only and we are not able to provide a reconciliation between the most comparable GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort. .
