See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 8 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) 1. Principles of Consolidation These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that we have included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. Operating results for the six months ended March 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 28, 2024. The terms “Company,” “Disney,” “we,” “us,” and “our” are used in this report to refer collectively to the parent company, The Walt Disney Company, as well as the subsidiaries through which its various businesses are actually conducted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Variable Interest Entities The Company enters into relationships with or makes investments in other entities that may be variable interest entities (VIE). A VIE is consolidated in our financial statements if the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant (as defined by ASC 810-10-25-38) to the VIE. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Shanghai Disney Resort (together the Asia Theme Parks, see Note 7) are VIEs in which the Company has less than 50% equity ownership. Company subsidiaries (the Management Companies) have management agreements with the Asia Theme Parks, which provide the Management Companies, subject to certain protective rights of joint venture partners, with the ability to direct the day-to-day operating activities and the development of business strategies that we believe most significantly impact the economic performance of the Asia Theme Parks. In addition, the Management Companies receive management fees under these arrangements that we believe could be significant to the Asia Theme Parks. Therefore, the Company has consolidated the Asia Theme Parks in its financial statements. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Hulu LLC In November 2023, NBC Universal (NBCU) exercised its right to require the Company to purchase NBCU’s 33 % interest in Hulu LLC (Hulu), a direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming service provider, at a redemption value based on NBCU’s equity ownership percentage of the greater of Hulu’s equity fair value or a guaranteed floor value of $ 27.5 billion. In connection with the redemption, the Company will pay NBCU 50 % of the future tax benefits from the amortization of the purchase of NBCU’s interest in Hulu that will generally arise over a 15 -year period. In December 2023, the Company paid NBCU $ 8.6 billion, which reflected the guaranteed floor value less NBCU’s unpaid capital call contributions. If Hulu’s equity fair value is determined to be higher than the guaranteed floor value, the Company is required to pay NBCU its share of the difference between the equity fair value and the guaranteed floor value. Any incremental amount would be recorded as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” and thus reduce “Net income attributable to Disney” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Estimating the redemption value prior to its final determination requires management to make significant judgments related to assessing the fair value of Hulu. BAMTech LLC In November 2022, the Company purchased Major League Baseball’s (MLB) 15 % redeemable noncontrolling interest in BAMTech LLC (BAMTech), which holds the Company’s domestic DTC sports business, for $ 900 million (MLB buy-out). MLB’s interest was recorded in the Company’s financial statements at $ 828 million prior to the MLB buy-out. The $ 72 million difference was recorded as an increase in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, Hearst Corporation contributed $ 178 million to the domestic DTC sports business to fund its 20 % share of the MLB buy-out. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 9 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal 2023 financial statements and notes to conform to the fiscal 2024 presentation. 2. Segment Information The Company’s operations are reported in three segments: Entertainment, Sports and Experiences, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment operating results reflect earnings before corporate and unallocated shared expenses, restructuring and impairment charges, net other income/expense, net interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests. Segment operating income includes equity in the income of investees and excludes amortization of intangible assets and the fair value step-up for film and television costs recognized in connection with the acquisition of TFCF Corporation (TFCF) and Hulu in fiscal 2019 (TFCF and Hulu acquisition amortization). Corporate and unallocated shared expenses principally consist of corporate functions, executive management and certain unallocated administrative support functions. Segment operating results include allocations of certain costs, including information technology, pension, legal and other shared services costs, which are allocated based on metrics designed to correlate with consumption. 10 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) Segment revenues and segment operating income are as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Revenues: Entertainment Third parties $ 9,691 $ 10,212 $ 19,572 $ 20,796 Intersegment 105 97 205 188 9,796 10,309 19,777 20,984 Sports Third parties 3,999 3,957 8,535 8,340 Intersegment 313 269 612 526 4,312 4,226 9,147 8,866 Experiences 8,393 7,646 17,525 16,191 Eliminations ( 418 ) ( 366 ) ( 817 ) ( 714 ) Total segment revenues $ 22,083 $ 21,815 $ 45,632 $ 45,327 Segment operating income: Entertainment $ 781 $ 455 $ 1,655 $ 800 Sports 778 794 675 630 Experiences 2,286 2,036 5,391 4,898 Total segment operating income (1) $ 3,845 $ 3,285 $ 7,721 $ 6,328 (1) Equity in the income of investees is included in segment operating income as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Entertainment $ 138 $ 160 $ 309 $ 353 Sports 6 16 19 19 Experiences — — — ( 2 ) Equity in the income of investees included in segment operating income 144 176 328 370 Amortization of TFCF intangible assets related to equity investees ( 3 ) ( 3 ) ( 6 ) ( 6 ) Equity in the income of investees, net $ 141 $ 173 $ 322 $ 364 11 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) A reconciliation of segment operating income to income before income taxes is as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Segment operating income $ 3,845 $ 3,285 $ 7,721 $ 6,328 Corporate and unallocated shared expenses ( 391 ) ( 279 ) ( 699 ) ( 559 ) Restructuring and impairment charges (1) ( 2,052 ) ( 152 ) ( 2,052 ) ( 221 ) Other income, net (2) — 149 — 107 Interest expense, net ( 311 ) ( 322 ) ( 557 ) ( 622 ) TFCF and Hulu acquisition amortization (3) ( 434 ) ( 558 ) ( 885 ) ( 1,137 ) Income before income taxes $ 657 $ 2,123 $ 3,528 $ 3,896 (1) See Note 17 for a discussion of amounts in restructuring and impairment charges.

As of March 30, 2024, revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future is $ 14 billion, primarily for IP or advertising time to be made available in the future under existing agreements with merchandise and co-branding licensees and sponsors, television station affiliates, DTC wholesalers, advertisers and sports sublicensees. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $ 4 billion in the remainder of fiscal 2024, $ 5 billion in fiscal 2025, $ 3 billion in fiscal 2026 and $ 2 billion thereafter. These amounts include only fixed consideration or minimum guarantees and do not include amounts related to (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less (such as most advertising contracts) or (ii) licenses of IP that are solely based on the sales of the licensee. When the timing of the Company’s revenue recognition is different from the timing of customer payments, the Company recognizes either a contract asset (customer payment is subsequent to revenue recognition and subject to the Company satisfying additional performance obligations) or deferred revenue (customer payment precedes the Company satisfying the performance obligations). Consideration due under contracts with payment in arrears is recognized as accounts receivable. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. The Company’s contract assets and activity for the current and prior-year periods were not material. 14 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) Accounts receivable and deferred revenues from contracts with customers are as follows: March 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Accounts receivable Current $ 9,975 $ 10,279 Non-current 1,128 1,212 Allowance for credit losses ( 135 ) ( 154 ) Deferred revenues Current 6,156 5,568 Non-current 910 977 For the quarter and six months ended March 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $ 0.9 billion and $ 4.4 billion, respectively, that was included in the September 30, 2023 deferred revenue balance. For the quarter and six months ended April 1, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $ 0.9 billion and $ 4.3 billion, respectively, that was included in the October 1, 2022 deferred revenue balance. Amounts deferred generally relate to theme park admissions and vacation packages, DTC subscriptions and advances related to merchandise and TV/VOD licenses. We evaluate our allowance for credit losses and estimate collectability of current and non-current accounts receivable based on historical bad debt experience, our assessment of the financial condition of individual companies with which we do business, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. In times of economic turmoil, our estimates and judgments with respect to the collectability of our receivables are subject to greater uncertainty than in more stable periods. The Company has accounts receivable with original maturities greater than one year related to the sale of film and television program rights (TV/VOD licensing) and vacation club properties. These receivables are discounted to present value at contract inception and the related revenues are recognized at the discounted amount. The balance of TV/VOD licensing receivables recorded in other non-current assets was $ 0.4 billion at March 30, 2024 and $ 0.6 billion at September 30, 2023. The balance of vacation club receivables recorded in other non-current assets was $ 0.7 billion at both March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses for TV/VOD licensing and vacation club receivables and related activity for the periods ended March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were not material. 4.

Star India’s assets and liabilities (see table that follows) are presented as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of Star India exceeded its fair value and we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $ 1.3 billion in “Restructuring and impairment charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to reflect Star India at its fair value less costs to sell. The measurement of this impairment charge includes non-cash cumulative foreign currency translation losses of approximately $ 0.8 billion. 15 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) Assets and liabilities of Star India are classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 30, 2024 as follows: Receivables and other current assets $ 821 Content advances 63 Total current assets 884 Produced and licensed content costs 667 Property and equipment, net 67 Intangible assets, net 760 Goodwill 1,110 Other assets 680 Total assets (1) $ 4,168 Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities $ 430 Deferred revenue and other 86 Total current liabilities 516 Other long-term liabilities 382 Total liabilities (1) $ 898 (1) Total current assets and non-current assets held for sale are included in “Other current assets” and “Other assets,” respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At March 30, 2024, the Company’s bank facilities, which are with a syndicate of lenders and support our commercial paper borrowings, were as follows: Committed Capacity Capacity Used Unused Capacity Facility expiring February 2025 $ 5,250 $ — $ 5,250 Facility expiring March 2027 4,000 — 4,000 Facility expiring March 2029 3,000 — 3,000 Total $ 12,250 $ — $ 12,250 In March 2024, the Company refinanced two bank facilities with committed capacity of $ 5.25 billion and $ 3.0 billion, which were scheduled to expire in March 2024 and March 2025, respectively. The new bank facilities are set to expire in February 2025 and March 2029, respectively. These facilities allow for borrowings at rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and at other variable rates for non-U.S. dollar denominated borrowings, plus a fixed spread that varies with the Company’s debt ratings assigned by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s ranging from 0.655% to 1.225%. The bank facilities contain only one financial covenant relating to interest coverage of three times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including both intangible amortization and amortization of our film and television production and programming costs. On March 30, 2024, the Company met this covenant by a significant margin. The bank facilities specifically exclude certain entities, including the Asia Theme Parks, from any representations, covenants or events of default. The Company also has the ability to issue up to $ 500 million of letters of credit under the facility expiring in March 2027, which if utilized, reduces available borrowings under this facility. As of March 30, 2024, the Company has $ 1.6 billion of outstanding letters of credit, of which none were issued under this facility. Cruise Ship Credit Facilities The Company has credit facilities to finance a significant portion of the contract price of two new cruise ships, which are scheduled to be delivered in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026. Under the facilities, $ 1.1 billion became available beginning in August 2023 and $ 1.1 billion is available beginning in August 2024. Each tranche of financing may be utilized within a period of 18 months from the initial availability date.

Produced and Acquired/Licensed Content Costs and Advances The Company classifies its capitalized produced and acquired/licensed content costs as long-term assets and classifies advances for live programming rights made prior to the live event as short-term assets. For purposes of amortization and impairment, the capitalized content costs are classified based on their predominant monetization strategy as follows: • Individual - lifetime value is predominantly derived from third-party revenues that are directly attributable to the specific film or television title (e.g. theatrical revenues or sales to third-party television programmers) • Group - lifetime value is predominantly derived from third-party revenues that are attributable only to a bundle of titles (e.g. subscription revenue for a DTC service or affiliate fees for a cable television network) Total capitalized produced and licensed content by predominant monetization strategy is as follows: As of March 30, 2024 As of September 30, 2023 Predominantly Monetized Individually Predominantly Monetized as a Group Total Predominantly Monetized Individually Predominantly Monetized as a Group Total Produced content Released, less amortization $ 4,685 $ 13,799 $ 18,484 $ 4,968 $ 13,555 $ 18,523 Completed, not released 70 1,201 1,271 70 1,786 1,856 In-process 3,848 5,571 9,419 3,331 6,120 9,451 In development or pre-production 345 93 438 279 133 412 $ 8,948 $ 20,664 29,612 $ 8,648 $ 21,594 30,242 Licensed content - Television programming rights and advances 4,899 6,351 Total produced and licensed content $ 34,511 $ 36,593 Current portion $ 1,921 $ 3,002 Non-current portion $ 32,590 $ 33,591 19 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) Amortization of produced and licensed content is as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Produced content Predominantly monetized individually $ 611 $ 1,006 $ 1,379 $ 2,163 Predominantly monetized as a group 1,752 1,952 3,546 4,112 2,363 2,958 4,925 6,275 Licensed programming rights and advances 3,366 3,196 7,956 7,735 Total produced and licensed content costs (1) $ 5,729 $ 6,154 $ 12,881 $ 14,010 (1) Primarily included in “Costs of services” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 9. Income Taxes Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities The Company records deferred income tax assets and liabilities with respect to temporary differences in accounting treatment of items for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities by major category as of March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were as follows: March 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Deferred tax assets Net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards (1) $ ( 3,465 ) $ ( 3,841 ) Accrued liabilities ( 1,289 ) ( 1,335 ) Lease liabilities ( 820 ) ( 852 ) Licensing revenues ( 110 ) ( 115 ) Other ( 684 ) ( 623 ) Total deferred tax assets ( 6,368 ) ( 6,766 ) Deferred tax liabilities Depreciable, amortizable and other property 7,266 7,581 Investment in subsidiaries / equity investees (2) 1,547 1,753 Right-of-use lease assets 720 751 Other 72 81 Total deferred tax liabilities 9,605 10,166 Net deferred tax liability before valuation allowance 3,237 3,400 Valuation allowance 3,017 3,187 Net deferred tax liability $ 6,254 $ 6,587 (1) Balances at March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 include approximately $ 1.5 billion and $ 1.6 billion, respectively, of International Theme Park net operating losses and include approximately $ 0.8 billion and $ 1.0 billion, respectively, of foreign tax credits in the U.S. The International Theme Park net operating losses are primarily in France and, to a lesser extent, Hong Kong and China. Losses in France and Hong Kong have an indefinite carryforward period and losses in China have a five-year carryforward period. China theme park net operating losses of $ 0.1 billion, if not used, expire between fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2028. Foreign tax credits of $ 0.8 billion in the U.S. have a ten-year carryforward period and, if not used, expire beginning in fiscal 2028. (2) Deferred tax liabilities on investment in subsidiaries / equity investees are, in part, due to the tax status of these entities. If the Company were to change the tax status of certain legal entities, a significant portion of these deferred taxes may reverse. 20 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) Valuation Allowance The Company records deferred income tax assets and liabilities with respect to temporary differences in the accounting treatment of items for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. Where, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established for the amount that, in management’s judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company’s valuation allowance decreased by $ 0.2 billion, from $ 3.2 billion at September 30, 2023 to $ 3.0 billion at March 30, 2024. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits (before interest and penalties) decreased $ 0.1 billion, from $ 2.5 billion at September 30, 2023 to $ 2.4 billion at March 30, 2024. In the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could change due to resolutions of open tax matters, which would reduce our unrecognized tax benefits by $ 0.5 billion. 10.

Earnings Per Share Diluted earnings per share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and are calculated using the treasury stock method for equity-based compensation awards (Awards). A reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding and the number of Awards excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they were anti-dilutive, are as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Shares (in millions): Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding (basic) 1,834 1,828 1,833 1,827 Weighted average dilutive impact of Awards (1) — 3 5 2 Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding (diluted) 1,834 1,831 1,838 1,829 Awards excluded from diluted earnings per share 27 25 30 25 (1) Amounts exclude all potential common and common equivalent shares for periods when there is a net loss from continuing operations. 12.

During the six months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the weighted average grant date fair values for options granted were $ 32.10 and $ 34.72 , respectively, and for RSUs were $ 94.25 and $ 92.07 , respectively. During the six months ended March 30, 2024, the Company made equity compensation grants consisting of 2.7 million stock options and 16.1 million RSUs. 14. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters On May 12, 2023, a private securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer, Robert Chapek, its former Chief Financial Officer, Christine M. McCarthy, and the former Chairman of the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution segment, Kareem Daniel on behalf of certain purchasers of securities of the Company (the “Securities Class Action”). On November 6, 2023, a consolidated complaint was filed in the same action, adding Robert Iger, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as a defendant. Claims in the Securities Class Action include (i) violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, (ii) violations of Section 20A of the Exchange Act against Iger and McCarthy, 26 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) and (iii) violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against all defendants. Plaintiffs in the Securities Class Action allege purported misstatements and omissions concerning, and a scheme to conceal, accurate costs and subscriber growth of the Disney+ platform. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, plus interest and costs and fees. The Company intends to defend against the lawsuit vigorously and filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim on December 21, 2023. Plaintiffs filed their opposition on February 5, 2024, and the Company filed its reply brief on March 5, 2024. The lawsuit is in the early stages and at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any possible loss. Three shareholder derivative complaints have been filed. The first, in which Hugues Gervat is the plaintiff, was filed on August 4, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The second, in which Stourbridge Investments LLC is the plaintiff, was filed on August 23, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. And the third, in which Audrey McAdams is the Plaintiff, was filed on December 15, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Each named The Walt Disney Company as a nominal defendant and alleged claims on its behalf against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Iger; its former Chief Executive Officer, Robert Chapek; its former Chief Financial Officer, Christine M. McCarthy; the former Chairman of the Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution segment, Kareem Daniel, and ten current and former members of the Disney Board (Susan E. Arnold; Mary T. Barra; Safra A. Catz; Amy L. Chang; Francis A. deSouza; Michael B.G. Froman; Maria Elena Lagomasino; Calvin R. McDonald; Mark G. Parker; and Derica W. Rice). Along with alleged violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), 20(a), and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act, premised on similar allegations as the Securities Class Action, plaintiffs seek to recover under various theories including breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and waste. On October 24, 2023, the Stourbridge action was voluntarily dismissed and, on November 16, 2023, was refiled in Delaware state court alleging analogous theories of liability based on state law. On October 30, 2023, the Gervat action was stayed pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss filed in the Securities Class Action. The Stourbridge action was likewise stayed under an order entered December 12, 2023 and the McAdams action was stayed under an order entered February 20, 2024. The actions seek declarative and injunctive relief, an award of unspecified damages to The Walt Disney Company and other costs and fees. The Company intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously. The lawsuits are in the early stages, and at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any possible loss. On November 18, 2022, a private antitrust putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company on behalf of a putative class of certain subscribers to YouTube TV (the “Biddle Action”). The plaintiffs in the Biddle Action asserted a claim under Section 1 of the Sherman Act based on allegations that Disney uses certain pricing and packaging provisions in its carriage agreements with virtual multichannel video distributors (“vMVPDs”) to increase prices for and reduce output of certain services offered by vMVPDs. On November 30, 2022, a second private antitrust putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company on behalf of a putative class of certain subscribers to DirecTV Stream (the “Fendelander Action”). The plaintiffs in the Fendelander Action asserted a claim under Section 1 of the Sherman Act based on substantially similar allegations as the Biddle Action. The Company filed motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim in both the Biddle Action and Fendelander Action on January 31, 2023. The plaintiffs in both cases filed their oppositions on April 7, 2023, the Company filed reply briefs on May 12, 2023, and the court heard oral argument on the Company’s motions to dismiss on July 13, 2023. On September 30, 2023, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the Company’s motions to dismiss both cases and, on October 13, 2023, the court issued an order consolidating both cases. On October 16, 2023, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended putative class action complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”). The Consolidated Complaint asserts claims under Section 1 of the Sherman Act and certain Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, and Tennessee antitrust laws based on substantially similar allegations as the Biddle Action and the Fendelander Action. The Consolidated Complaint seeks injunctive relief, unspecified money damages and costs and fees. The Company intends to defend against the lawsuits vigorously and filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint for failure to state a claim on December 1, 2023. The plaintiffs filed their opposition on January 5, 2024, the Company filed its reply brief on February 2, 2024, and the court heard oral argument on the Company’s motion to dismiss on February 15, 2024. A decision on the Company’s motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint remains pending. The consolidated lawsuit is in the early stages, and at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any possible loss. On February 20, 2024, a private antitrust lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company (including affiliates ESPN, Inc., ESPN Enterprises, Inc., and Hulu, LLC), Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”), by fuboTV Inc. and fuboTV Media Inc. (together, “Fubo”). Fubo asserts claims under Section 1 of the Sherman Act, Section 7 of the Clayton Act, and New York antitrust law based on the theories that (a) a planned joint venture between ESPN, Inc., Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., which will distribute certain of Defendants’ linear networks to consumers (the “Sports Streaming JV”), will harm competition in an alleged market for the licensing of networks that offer live sports content, (b) certain alleged practices by which the Company and Fox Corporation license their networks to vMVPDs as a bundle increase prices and reduce output for services offered by vMVPDs, 27 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) and (c) certain alleged pricing provisions in Defendants’ carriage agreements with YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV increase prices for services offered by vMVPDs. On April 8, 2024, Fubo filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against Defendants to prevent the formation of the Sports Streaming JV. Defendants may file their opposition to Fubo’s motion for preliminary injunction by July 25, 2024, and Fubo may file a reply by August 1, 2024, with the hearing on Fubo’s motion for preliminary injunction scheduled to begin on August 7, 2024. Fubo further seeks injunctive relief, unspecified money damages and costs and fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss Fubo’s complaint on April 10, 2024. On April 29, 2024, Fubo filed an amended complaint to add allegations of a purported market for “skinny sports bundles”, which Fubo claims the Sports Streaming JV will monopolize after its launch. The court has stayed the Defendants’ obligation to answer or move to dismiss Fubo’s amended complaint until after resolution of Fubo’s motion for a preliminary injunction. The Company intends to defend against the lawsuit vigorously. The lawsuit is in its early stages, and at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any possible loss. The Company, together with, in some instances, certain of its directors and officers, is a defendant in various other legal actions involving copyright, breach of contract and various other claims incident to the conduct of its businesses. Management does not believe that the Company has incurred a probable material loss by reason of any of those actions. Commitments In April 2024, the Company acquired an incremental 5 % interest in Epic Games, Inc. (“Epic”), a video game and software developer and publisher, in exchange for $ 1.0 billion. The Company is committed to acquire an additional 2 % interest for $ 0.5 billion in July 2024, which will bring the Company’s total interest in Epic to approximately 8 %. 15. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and is generally classified in one of the following categories: Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized in the following tables by fair value measurement Level: Fair Value Measurement at March 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Investments $ — $ 92 $ — $ 92 Derivatives Foreign exchange — 748 — 748 Other — 12 — 12 Liabilities Derivatives Interest rate — ( 1,446 ) — ( 1,446 ) Foreign exchange — ( 421 ) — ( 421 ) Other — ( 540 ) — ( 540 ) Total recorded at fair value $ — $ ( 1,555 ) $ — $ ( 1,555 ) Fair value of borrowings $ — $ 41,956 $ 1,448 $ 43,404 28 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) Fair Value Measurement at September 30, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Investments $ 46 $ 128 $ — $ 174 Derivatives Foreign exchange — 1,336 — 1,336 Other — 18 — 18 Liabilities Derivatives Interest rate — ( 1,791 ) — ( 1,791 ) Foreign exchange — ( 815 ) — ( 815 ) Other — ( 13 ) — ( 13 ) Other — ( 465 ) — ( 465 ) Total recorded at fair value $ 46 $ ( 1,602 ) $ — $ ( 1,556 ) Fair value of borrowings $ — $ 40,123 $ 1,333 $ 41,456 The fair value of Level 2 investments are primarily determined based on an internal valuation model that uses observable inputs such as stock trading price, volatility and risk free rate. The fair values of Level 2 derivatives are primarily determined by internal discounted cash flow models that use observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves and foreign currency exchange rates. Counterparty credit risk, which is mitigated by master netting agreements and collateral posting arrangements with certain counterparties, had an impact on derivative fair value estimates that was not material. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are discussed in Note 16. Level 2 other liabilities are primarily arrangements that are valued based on the fair value of underlying investments, which are generally measured using Level 1 and Level 2 fair value techniques. Level 2 borrowings, which include commercial paper, U.S. dollar denominated notes and certain foreign currency denominated borrowings, are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or identical instruments in markets that are not active. Level 3 borrowings include the Asia Theme Park borrowings, which are valued based on the current borrowing cost and credit risk of the Asia Theme Parks as well as prevailing market interest rates. The Company’s financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair values. Non-recurring Fair Value Measure The Company also has assets that may be required to be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are evaluated when certain triggering events occur (including a decrease in estimated future cash flows) that indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges for goodwill as disclosed in Notes 4 and 17. The fair value of these assets were determined using their estimated discounted future cash flows, which is a Level 3 valuation technique (see Note 17 for a discussion of the more significant inputs used in our discounted cash flow analysis). 16. Derivative Instruments The Company manages its exposure to various risks relating to its ongoing business operations according to a risk management policy. The primary risks managed with derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. 29 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) The Company’s derivative positions measured at fair value (see Note 15) are summarized in the following tables: As of March 30, 2024 Current Assets Investments/ Other Assets Other Current Liabilities Other Long- Term Liabilities Derivatives designated as hedges Foreign exchange $ 468 $ 203 $ ( 147 ) $ ( 66 ) Interest rate — — ( 1,446 ) — Other 3 2 — — Derivatives not designated as hedges Foreign exchange 76 1 ( 207 ) ( 1 ) Other 7 92 — — Gross fair value of derivatives 554 298 ( 1,800 ) ( 67 ) Counterparty netting ( 397 ) ( 172 ) 506 63 Cash collateral (received) paid ( 45 ) — 983 — Net derivative positions $ 112 $ 126 $ ( 311 ) $ ( 4 ) As of September 30, 2023 Current Assets Investments/ Other Assets Other Current Liabilities Other Long- Term Liabilities Derivatives designated as hedges Foreign exchange $ 595 $ 338 $ ( 123 ) $ ( 93 ) Interest rate — — ( 1,791 ) — Other 12 6 — — Derivatives not designated as hedges Foreign exchange 384 19 ( 520 ) ( 79 ) Other — 128 ( 13 ) — Gross fair value of derivatives 991 491 ( 2,447 ) ( 172 ) Counterparty netting ( 770 ) ( 262 ) 900 132 Cash collateral (received) paid ( 123 ) ( 7 ) 1,257 — Net derivative positions $ 98 $ 222 $ ( 290 ) $ ( 40 ) Interest Rate Risk Management The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its borrowing activities. The Company’s objective is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and on the market value of its borrowings. In accordance with its policy, the Company targets its fixed-rate debt as a percentage of its net debt between a minimum and maximum percentage. The Company primarily uses pay-floating and pay-fixed interest rate swaps to facilitate its interest rate risk management activities. The Company designates pay-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings effectively converting fixed-rate borrowings to variable-rate borrowings. The total notional amount of the Company’s pay-floating interest rate swaps at both March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was $ 13.5 billion. 30 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) The following table summarizes fair value hedge adjustments to hedged borrowings: Carrying Amount of Hedged Borrowings Fair Value Adjustments Included in Hedged Borrowings March 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 March 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Borrowings: Current $ 2,842 $ 1,439 $ ( 78 ) $ ( 59 ) Long-term 9,716 10,748 ( 1,317 ) ( 1,694 ) $ 12,558 $ 12,187 $ ( 1,395 ) $ ( 1,753 ) The following amounts are included in “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Gain (loss) on: Pay-floating swaps $ ( 89 ) $ 235 $ 343 $ 306 Borrowings hedged with pay-floating swaps 89 ( 235 ) ( 343 ) ( 306 ) Benefit (expense) associated with interest accruals on pay-floating swaps ( 153 ) ( 125 ) ( 307 ) ( 220 ) The Company may designate pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest payments on floating-rate borrowings. Pay-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings. The unrealized gains or losses from these cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCI and recognized in interest expense as the interest payments occur. The Company did not have pay-fixed interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest payments at March 30, 2024 or at September 30, 2023, and gains and losses related to pay-fixed interest rate swaps recognized in earnings for the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 were not material. Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company transacts business globally and is subject to risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow fluctuations associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, enabling management to focus on core business operations. The Company enters into option and forward contracts to protect the value of its existing foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted but not firmly committed foreign currency transactions. In accordance with policy, the Company hedges its forecasted foreign currency transactions for periods generally not to exceed four years within an established minimum and maximum range of annual exposure. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of the related forecasted transaction, asset, liability or firm commitment. The principal currencies hedged are the euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, British pound and Chinese yuan. Cross-currency swaps are used to effectively convert foreign currency denominated borrowings into U.S. dollar denominated borrowings. The Company designates foreign exchange forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges of firmly committed and forecasted foreign currency transactions. As of March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the notional amounts of the Company’s net foreign exchange cash flow hedges were $ 9.8 billion and $ 8.3 billion, respectively. Mark-to-market gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in AOCI and are recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur, offsetting changes in the value of the foreign currency transactions. Net deferred gains recorded in AOCI for contracts that will mature in the next twelve months total $ 309 million. The following table summarizes the effect of foreign exchange cash flow hedges on AOCI: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Gain (loss) recognized in Other Comprehensive Income $ 237 $ 15 $ ( 27 ) $ ( 487 ) Gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into the Statements of Operations (1) 93 116 234 338 (1) Primarily recorded in revenue. 31 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) The Company designates cross currency swaps as fair value hedges of foreign currency denominated borrowings. The impact from the change in foreign currency on both the cross currency swap and borrowing is recorded to “Interest expense, net.” The impact from interest rate changes is recorded in AOCI and is amortized over the life of the cross currency swap. As of both March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the total notional amount of the Company’s designated cross currency swaps was Canadian $ 1.3 billion ($ 1.0 billion). The related gains or losses recognized in earnings were not material for the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023. Foreign exchange risk management contracts with respect to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. The net notional amount of these foreign exchange contracts at both March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was $ 3.1 billion, respectively. The following table summarizes the net foreign exchange gains or losses recognized on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the net foreign exchange gains or losses on the foreign exchange contracts we entered into to mitigate our exposure with respect to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities by the corresponding line item in which they are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations: Costs and expenses Interest expense, net Income taxes Quarter Ended: March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 March 30, 2024 April 1, 2023 Net gains (losses) on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities $ ( 103 ) $ 15 $ 21 $ ( 2 ) $ 7 $ ( 21 ) Net gains (losses) on foreign exchange risk management contracts not designated as hedges 87 ( 47 ) ( 23 ) 1 ( 20 ) 17 Net gains (losses) $ ( 16 ) $ ( 32 ) $ ( 2 ) $ ( 1 ) $ ( 13 ) $ ( 4 ) Six Months Ended: Net gains (losses) on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities $ ( 68 ) $ 160 $ ( 2 ) $ ( 20 ) $ ( 39 ) $ ( 109 ) Net gains (losses) on foreign exchange risk management contracts not designated as hedges ( 39 ) ( 260 ) ( 2 ) 19 22 87 Net gains (losses) $ ( 107 ) $ ( 100 ) $ ( 4 ) $ ( 1 ) $ ( 17 ) $ ( 22 ) Commodity Price Risk Management The Company is subject to the volatility of commodities prices and the Company designates certain commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted commodity purchases. Mark-to-market gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in AOCI and are recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur, offsetting changes in the value of commodity purchases. The notional amount of these commodities contracts at March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 and related gains or losses recognized in earnings for the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 were not material. Risk Management – Other Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges The Company enters into certain other risk management contracts that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. These contracts, which include certain total return swap contracts, are intended to offset economic exposures of the Company and are carried at market value with any changes in value recorded in earnings. The notional amounts of these contracts at March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were $ 0.5 billion and $ 0.4 billion, respectively. The related gains or losses recognized in earnings were not material for the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023. Contingent Features and Cash Collateral The Company has master netting arrangements by counterparty with respect to certain derivative financial instrument contracts. The Company may be required to post collateral in the event that a net liability position with a counterparty exceeds limits defined by contract and that vary with the Company’s credit rating. In addition, these contracts may require a counterparty to post collateral to the Company in the event that a net receivable position with a counterparty exceeds limits defined by contract and that vary with the counterparty’s credit rating. If the Company’s or the counterparty’s credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, such counterparties or the Company would also have the right to terminate our derivative contracts, which could lead to a net payment to or from the Company for the aggregate net value by counterparty of our derivative contracts. The aggregate fair values of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position by counterparty were $ 1.3 billion and $ 1.6 billion at March 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. 32 THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; tabular dollars in millions, except for per share data) 17. Restructuring and Impairment Charges Goodwill Impairments In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, as a result of Star India assets and liabilities being classified as held for sale (see Note 4), they have been removed from the entertainment goodwill reporting units along with a proportional amount of goodwill. As a result, we evaluated the residual goodwill at our entertainment DTC services and linear networks reporting units for impairment. Star sports was a standalone reporting unit which did not have any goodwill. The evaluation resulted in a $ 0.7 billion non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill at our entertainment linear networks reporting unit. Goodwill was not impaired at the entertainment DTC services reporting unit. The impairment evaluation compares the reporting unit’s carrying value to its fair value, which is based on estimated discounted future cash flows. These future cash flows are based on internal forecasts, which consider projected inflation and other economic indicators, as well as industry growth projections. Significant judgments and assumptions in the discounted cash flow model relate to future revenues and certain operating expenses, terminal growth rates and discount rates. Discount rates are determined based on the inherent risks of the underlying operations. We believe our estimates are consistent with how a marketplace participant would value our reporting units. In addition, we recorded a $ 1.3 billion non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Star India Transaction (see Note 4 for additional information). Both of these charges were recorded in “Restructuring and impairment charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other Restructuring In the prior-year quarter ended April 1, 2023, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $ 152 million primarily for severance costs. The six months ended April 1, 2023 included charges of $ 221 million primarily for severance costs and costs related to exiting our businesses in Russia. These charges are recorded in “Restructuring and impairment charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 18. New Accounting Pronouncements and Other Disclosure Rules Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance reportable segment disclosures by requiring the disclosure of significant expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included in the segment’s measure of profit or loss. It also requires an explanation of how the CODM uses the segment’s measure of profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2025 for annual periods and beginning in fiscal year 2026 for interim periods and requires retrospective adoption (with early adoption permitted). The Company is currently assessing the impacts of the new guidance on its financial statement disclosures. Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance income tax disclosures. The new guidance requires an expanded effective tax rate reconciliation, the disclosure of cash taxes paid segregated between U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign, with further disaggregation by jurisdiction if certain thresholds are met and eliminates certain disclosures related to uncertain tax benefits. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning with the Company’s 2026 fiscal year (with early adoption permitted). The Company is currently assessing the impacts of the new guidance on its financial statement disclosures. Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules that will require disclosure of: • Certain climate-related information including climate-related risks, targets, and goals that are reasonably likely to have a material impact, as applicable, on a company’s strategy, business, results of operations or financial condition; • Certain greenhouse gas emissions, if material; and • Certain financial information regarding the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, within the notes to the financial statements The new rules are applicable to annual reporting periods and will be phased in beginning with the Company’s 2026 fiscal year. In April 2024, given pending legal challenges, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order to voluntarily stay the new rules. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the new rules on its financial statement disclosures. 33 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
