Presented below is a discussion of the performance of Time Warners segments for the 2010
fourth quarter and full year. Unless otherwise noted, the dollar amounts in parentheses represent
year-over-year changes.
NETWORKS (Turner Broadcasting and HBO)
Full-Year Results
Revenues rose 11% ($1.2 billion) to $12.5 billion, benefitting from growth of 8% ($594 million) in Subscription revenues, 14% ($464 million) in Advertising revenues and 15% ($123 million) in Content revenues. The increase in Subscription revenues resulted mainly from higher rates and the consolidation of HBO Central Europe (HBO CE) beginning in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in Advertising revenues reflected strong domestic demand and yield management, as well as international expansion and growth, partially offset by lower audience delivery at Turners domestic news networks. Content revenues increased due primarily to higher sales of HBOs original programming, including licensing and home video sales of The Pacific and the domestic basic cable television sale of Entourage.

Content revenues increased due primarily to higher sales of HBOs original programming, including licensing and home video sales of The Pacific and the domestic basic cable television sale of Entourage.
Adjusted Operating Income grew 18% ($643 million) to $4.2 billion, reflecting higher revenues,
partly offset by increased expenses, including higher programming and marketing costs. Programming
costs increased 5%, due mainly to higher original and sports programming expenses, as well as
international expansion and growth. Adjusted Operating Income in the current year included a $58
million reserve reversal in connection with the resolution of litigation relating to the 2004 sale
of the Winter Sports Teams. Operating Income grew 22% ($754 million) to $4.2 billion. The current
year included a gain of $59 million that was recognized upon the consolidation of HBO CE,
reflecting the excess of the fair value over the Companys carrying costs of its original
investment in HBO CE. The prior year included a $52 million noncash impairment of intangible
assets related to Turners interest in a general entertainment network in India.
During 2010, TNT was the #1 network in total day delivery among adults 25-54 and aired
advertising-supported cables top two series of all time in delivery of total viewers with The
Closer and Rizzoli & Isles. Since its premiere on November 8, 2010, TBSCONAN has consistently
ranked as one of the top late-night talk shows among adults 18-34 and 18-49. For key adult and
male viewers in total day delivery, in 2010 Adult Swim achieved double digit growth over 2009 and
was #1 among all advertising-supported cable. truTV wrapped up its strongest year ever, finishing
2010 ranked among advertising-supported cables Top 10 networks in primetime delivery of men 18-49.
At the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards, HBO won four awards, the most of any television
network, including Best Television Series - Drama and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television
Series - Drama for Boardwalk Empire. For the 83rd Academy Awards, HBO received four
nominations, including Best Documentary Feature for the HBO documentary film Gasland.
Fourth-Quarter Results
Revenues increased 14% ($411 million) to $3.3 billion, including increases of 9% ($158 million) in Subscription revenues, 21% ($191 million) in Advertising revenues and 25% ($53 million) in Content revenues. In addition to the items affecting the full year, Advertising revenues in the fourth quarter benefitted from strong upfront demand for the 2010 - 2011 season. Operating Income rose 20% ($152 million) to $904 million. This increase partially reflected a write-down of $104 million at Turner in the prior year related to a program licensed from Warner Bros. In addition, revenue growth was partly offset by higher programming and marketing expenses related to original programming.

Revenues increased 5% ($556 million) to $11.6 billion, reflecting higher television license fees and a stronger theatrical release slate, partly offset by lower home video revenues. The growth in television
4
license fees was primarily due to an increase in off-network availabilities, including Two and a
Half Men, as well as stronger television availabilities of theatrical product. Key theatrical
releases in the current year included Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Inception and
Clash of the Titans. Home video revenues faced difficult comparisons to the prior year, which
benefitted from higher catalog sales and the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Adjusted Operating Income declined 1% ($12 million) to $1.1 billion. The impact of higher revenues
and lower restructuring costs ($75 million) were more than offset by increased print and
advertising costs, partly due to Warner Bros. move to self-distribute New Line releases
internationally. Operating Income increased 2% ($23 million) to $1.1 billion. The prior year
included a $33 million loss on the sale of Warner Bros. Italian cinema assets.
In 2010, Warner Bros. Pictures Group earned the top spots in domestic box office share with $1.9
billion and international box office share with $2.9 billion. Seven Warner Bros. theatrical
releases grossed more than $100 million internationally in 2010. Also in 2010, Warner Home Video
continued at #1 domestically in each of DVD sales, Blu-ray Disc sales, VOD and EST. Warner Bros.
Television Group supplied 40 television shows for the 2010-2011 television season, making it the
largest provider of network TV programming for the 19th time in the past 24 years.
Among last weeks nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards were 12 for Warner Bros.
films, with eight nominations for Inception (including Best Picture and Original Screenplay); two
for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1; and one each for The Town and Hereafter.
Fourth-Quarter Results
Revenues rose 10% ($316 million) to $3.6 billion, due mainly to higher television license fees. Adjusted Operating Income decreased 5% ($20 million) to $416 million, due primarily to the mix of product, as contributions from the higher television license fees were more than offset by the impact of lower home video revenues. Also contributing to the decline were higher theatrical print and advertising costs due to the mix of releases. Operating Income declined 2% ($9 million) to $427 million.

PUBLISHING (Time Inc.)
Full-Year Results
Revenues decreased 2% ($61 million) to $3.7 billion. Advertising revenues grew 3% ($57 million). This increase was more than offset by declines of 2% ($33 million) in Subscription revenues and 17% ($80 million) in Other revenues. The growth in Advertising revenues reflected higher print magazine and digital revenues. Subscription revenues declined due mainly to lower domestic subscription and newsstand sales. The decrease in Other revenues was due primarily to lower revenues at Synapse and the impact of the sale of Southern Living At Home in the third quarter of 2009.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company utilizes Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Income margin, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its businesses. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is Operating Income (Loss) excluding the impact of noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; gains and losses on operating assets; external costs related to mergers, acquisitions, or dispositions, as well as contingent consideration related to such transactions, to the extent such costs are expensed; and amounts related to securities litigation and government investigations. Adjusted Operating Income margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income divided by Revenues. These measures are considered important indicators of the operational strength of the Companys businesses.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders is
Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders excluding
6
noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets and investments; gains and losses on
operating assets, liabilities and investments; external costs related to mergers, acquisitions,
investments or dispositions, as well as contingent consideration related to such transactions, to
the extent such costs are expensed; amounts related to securities litigation and government
investigations; and amounts attributable to businesses classified as discontinued operations, as
well as the impact of taxes and noncontrolling interests on the above items. Similarly, Adjusted
EPS is Diluted Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc.
common shareholders excluding the above items.
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders and
Adjusted EPS are considered important indicators of the operational strength of the Companys
businesses as these measures eliminate amounts that do not reflect the fundamental performance of
the Companys businesses. The Company utilizes Adjusted EPS, among other measures, to evaluate the
performance of its businesses both on an absolute basis and relative to its peers and the broader
market. Many investors also use an adjusted EPS measure as a common basis for comparing the
performance of different companies. Some limitations of Adjusted
Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income margin, Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations
attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders and Adjusted EPS are that they do not reflect
certain charges that affect the operating results of the Companys businesses and they involve
judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance.
Free Cash Flow is Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations plus payments related to
securities litigation and government investigations (net of any insurance recoveries), external
costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments or dispositions and excess tax benefits from
the exercise of stock options, less capital expenditures, principal payments on capital leases and
partnership distributions, if any. The Company uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate its businesses and
this measure is considered an important indicator of the Companys liquidity, including its ability
to reduce net debt, make strategic investments, pay dividends to common shareholders and repurchase
stock. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect payments made in
connection with securities litigation and government investigations, which reduce liquidity.
A general limitation of these measures is that they are not prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and excluded items. Adjusted
Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner
Inc. common shareholders, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not
as a substitute for, the Companys Operating Income (Loss), Income from Continuing Operations
attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders, Diluted Income (Loss) per Common Share from
Continuing Operations and various cash flow measures (e.g., Cash Provided by Operations from
Continuing Operations), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
