SKY TELEVISION – INVESTOR UPDATE
26 March 2018
SKY TV is today updating Investors and Analysts on our strategic priorities, and plans to achieve these
priorities. A copy of the presentation is available on the NZX, ASX and SKY websites.
Having undertaken a robust review of our strategy, the objective of the session is to provide the
investor community with more clarity about how SKY is moving forward after the terminated
Vodafone merger, and how we are competing in the increasingly digital content market.
The company’s strategy is based on three key areas: content, customer experience, and a targeted
range of products and price points to suit all customers.
• Telco partnerships
The Vodafone merger had some unique appealing characteristics which cannot be replicated with an
organic entry in the highly competitive broadband market, and SKY does not plan on entering this
market on our own. We will focus on existing and renewed partnerships as we have in the past.
• Exclusive content
Our core focus as a Pay Television operator continues to be to secure exclusive content that matters
to New Zealanders. Sports and Blockbuster Movies remain important, and Premium Drama is now as
relevant as those two Pay TV mainstays.
• Improved customer experience through technology
Content is still King - but it now sits on the throne of products and experiences. SKY is investing in
technology (including the Cisco Infinite Video Platform) to enable us to improve the On Demand
experience for customers.
We are pleased to be partnering with a global player that is supporting over 100 million set top box
customers around the world. It means we can operate like a scaled player and have a features
roadmap for customers that matches what is being offered globally.
This does not mean we will move away from linear channels overnight, because they are currently still
preferred by a large group of good customers, but over time we expect On Demand to grow
significantly at the expense of linear. Our job is to deliver both types of services in ways that our
customers want and need.
To ensure we can continue to serve customers who rely on our satellite-delivered content,
particularly those New Zealanders in rural and other areas without reliable internet access, we intend
to renew the satellite contract this year. Our 100% reach across New Zealand is a competitive
advantage.
• Content discovery
With the growth of On Demand, customer choice increases, and while this is a good thing customers
will need help in discovering the best content for them in an easy manner. Content Discovery and
Data are therefore a key focus for our teams.
• Range of products and price points to suit all customers
We are expanding the range of products and propositions that we offer, ranging from the current
satellite-centric service, to Fibre-based services using lower cost Puck set top boxes, all the way to
being able to access SKY content as an App with no set top box. All of these propositions are being
designed around different customer segments and contain different capabilities, features and price
points.
To improve our ability to get experiences to customers faster and to ensure a sustainable business,
we are embarking on a process of simplifying our operations.
Financial update
We expect to stabilise our core earnings with our recent changes to pricing and by improving the core
experience, and to add incremental profitable customers on “smaller” OTT services. At the same time
we are continuing to focus on managing the cost base through simplification of some existing
processes and operations.
The financial analysis included in the presentation material is for illustrative purposes only and is not
Guidance. There are a lot of variables at play and SKY is yet to fully design and launch all of these new
products. The purpose of the presentation is to highlight the range of options that SKY has, and how
our current satellite platform can transition to include a range of IP/fibre based products at different
price points, with different content propositions and service models.

Fanatical Heartlanders prefer subscription models
and love the experience of big screen live sport.
They are high ARPU and have residual goodwill towards MY
SKY and the SKY brand.
Generally mid-life Fanatical Heartlanders enjoy control and
some power, but would like to have this reflected back by
SKY demonstrating that they are highly valued.

▶Agility enables us to change and adapt quickly to the changing needs of our
customers.
▶The right cadence of change and delivery gives the feedback loops required
to have agility.
▶Small changes, constantly measured, drive in quality.
▶Our leaders develop capability and set direction – “build the right thing”.
▶Our cross functional teams apply agile practices, working to common goals to
produce working solutions every sprint – “build the thing right”.

INDUSTRY-LEADING RIGHTS
ENTERTAINMENT CONTENT STRATEGY
CONTENT RIGHTS AND AMMORTISATION
▶Key supply is prioritised
▶Each deal is staggered
▶Key dramas have ‘Run-of-Series’ commitments
CONTENT RIGHTS AND AMMORTISATION
▶Each deal is one piece of the jigsaw
▶Amortisationis over a variety of channels, platforms, products, &
windows
▶This flexibility makes us unique
▶Our prices reflect that flexibility
“BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GLOBAL
OTT PLAYERS’ CONTENT SPEND?”
THE REALITY BEHIND THE HEADLINES
▶I t ’s not all spent on original drama
▶They still license non-exclusive library
▶Their ORIGINAL content spend doesn’t match SKY’s
aggregated power
▶OTT services are complementary to Pay TV
THE POWER OF SKY’S BROAD
CONTENT PORTFOLIO
▶The seven Hollywood Movie Studios plus leading independents
spend in excess of $US8B p.a. combined on production
▶Some studios alone make 5-7 movies p.a. with a $US200M+
production budget each (before marketing spend)
▶SKY’s key Drama suppliers would total over $US8B production
spend p.a. combined
▶One key SKY Affiliate alone spends $US3B on annual
production
▶And that doesn’t even count major Sports, All International
Affiliates, and SKY’s independent content cumulative value

WILL YOUR
KEY SUPPLIERS GO D.T.C.?
▶Some DTC’s have already gone to Australia to
marginal results
▶Only a couple of stand-alone brands would resonate
with Kiwis
▶Most SKY key content supply is already committed
▶Our size and penetration still appeals to key
distributors....
WHAT IS THE OUTLOOKFOR
SKY’S CONTENT COSTS?
▶Premium content is not without cost; however...
▶As Linear viewing reduces, VOD viewership will grow
▶VOD is more cost-efficient
▶Non-performing VOD content can be more easily rationalised
▶Improved viewing data will further help content rationalisation
CONTENT IS STILL KING
