3rd Quarter Earnings Conference Call


Khan announced that WWE has sold a multi-part
documentary series to Netflix on the life of Vince McMahon.
Bill Simmons will be the executive producer on the project.
It will be one of the highest budgeted Netflix docs in the
history of the streaming service.


Salen brought up more revenue highlights. WWE
Network average paid subscribers were 1.6 million, an
increase of 6% . Revenue was $221.6 million, an increase of
19% or $35.3 million. Operating income was $63.4 million,
an increase of nearly 9x or $57.0 million. Free Cash Flow
was $110.8 million, an increase from a $16.4 million use of
cash.


The first caller asked about TV ratings and WWE’s
plans to increase the numbers as well as how it impacts
their next contract talks. McMahon said TV viewership is
only one of their measurements and that they have far more
fans than they have ever had if you include social and
YouTube. “That’s not to say we don’t want to increase
[ratings]. Of course, we do but aside from that, our total
audience is much bigger. You can’t just hang your hat on,
‘okay ratings are down’… We’re never off the air.” He noted
that they’re doing all they can to improve the ratings with
the ThunderDome, better writing, and talent. Michael Weitz
noted they’re confident about their TV rights going up in
the next rounds of contract talks.


Salen was asked about expenses, which she mentioned
that WWE estimates that the majority of furloughed
employees will return by the end of the
year.
