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

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.

▶“Agile” is an adjective, not a noun: able to move quickly and easily.

▶Its not what you do, its how you do it –we have changed the way we work.

▶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
