Financial Review

Outlook

The consistently strong creative and financial results Disney has delivered over the past several years are gratifying. At the same time, we are by no means complacent. Disney occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of our consumers, and we seek to maintain that privileged place with each consumer or guest experience. With this in mind, we continue to strive to deliver outstanding creative content across all of our platforms, to build upon the wealth of Disney characters, franchises and properties, and to develop new and innovative ways to delight our audiences.

Our financial success comes from doing all of this while operating within a framework that delivers economic value. At Disney we understand that these two goals – uncompromising quality and financial discipline – must coexist in order to deliver on the high expectations of all of our stakeholders.
