Revenue
Advertising. Advertising revenue increased in 2014 primarily due to growth in political advertising revenue, as well
as higher non-political revenue from ad rep agreements. Political advertising revenue was $113 million in 2014 compared
to $28 million in 2013. The Company expects advertising revenue in 2015 to decrease compared to 2014 due to a cyclical
decline in political advertising revenue.
Advertising revenue decreased in 2013 primarily due to a decline in political advertising ($28 million in 2013
compared to $114 million in 2012), partially offset by growth in non-political advertising revenue (primarily associated
with ad rep agreements) and the benefit from two additional months of Insight revenue, which totaled $6 million.
Other. Other revenue increased in 2014 primarily due to affiliate fees from the Residential Services segment as well
as other distributors of the Lakers’ RSNs. Other revenue increased in 2013 primarily due to fees from the distribution of
the Lakers’ RSNs to third parties, as well as the Residential Services segment.
Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased in 2014 primarily related to SportsNet LA
content costs and growth in costs associated with ad rep agreements. Operating costs and expenses increased in 2013
primarily related to growth in costs associated with the Lakers’ RSNs and ad rep agreements.
OIBDA. OIBDA decreased in 2014 and 2013 due to an increase in operating costs and expenses, partially offset by
higher revenue, as discussed above.
