DIRECTV

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

        DIRECTV, which we also refer to as the Company, we, or us, is a leading provider of digital television entertainment in the United States and Latin America. We operate two direct-to-home, or DTH, business units: DIRECTV U.S. and DIRECTV Latin America, which are differentiated by their geographic locations and are engaged in acquiring, promoting, selling and distributing digital entertainment programming primarily via satellite to residential and commercial subscribers. In addition, we own and operate two regional sports networks, and also own non-controlling interests in two others, ROOT SPORTS™ Northwest and ROOT SPORTS Southwest (our joint venture with AT&T Inc.). We own a 42% interest in Game Show Network LLC, or GSN, a television network dedicated to game-related programming and Internet interactive game playing. We account for our investment in ROOT SPORTS Northwest, ROOT SPORTS Southwest and GSN using the equity method of accounting.

    DIRECTV U.S.  DIRECTV Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries, which we refer to as DIRECTV U.S., is the largest provider of DTH digital television services and the second largest provider in the multi-channel video programming distribution industry in the United States.

    DIRECTV Latin America.  DIRECTV Latin America Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or DIRECTV Latin America, is a leading provider of DTH digital television services throughout Latin America. DIRECTV Latin America is comprised of: PanAmericana, which provides services in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and certain other countries in the region, and Sky Brasil Servicos Ltda., or Sky Brasil, which is a 93% owned subsidiary. DIRECTV Latin America also includes our 41% equity method investment in Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V., or Sky Mexico, which we include in the PanAmericana and Other segment.

    DIRECTV Sports Networks.  DIRECTV Sports Networks LLC and its subsidiaries, or DSN, is comprised primarily of two wholly owned regional sports networks based in Denver, Colorado and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and two regional sports networks based in Seattle, Washington and Houston, Texas in which DSN retains a noncontrolling interest, each of which operates under the brand name ROOT SPORTS. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we acquired a noncontrolling interest in Houston Sports Holdings, LLC, or HSH, the regional sports network based in Houston, Texas. The operating results of DSN are reported as part of the "Sports Networks, Eliminations and Other" reporting segment.

        On July 24, 2015, DIRECTV completed a merger transaction under which DIRECTV merged into Steam Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of AT&T Inc., or AT&T. Following the merger, Steam Merger Sub, LLC (a successor in interest to DIRECTV) was renamed DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC.

        We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on June 4, 2015, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 filed

(Unaudited)

with the SEC on May 8, 2015, and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report.

        We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, our actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.


Note 2: New Accounting Standards

        Revenue Recognition.    In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" (ASU 2014-09), which replaces existing revenue recognition rules with a comprehensive revenue measurement and recognition standard and expanded disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, following the July 2015 approval of a one-year deferral of the effective date by the FASB. We continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard and available adoption methods.

        Long-Term Debt and Debt Issuance Costs.    In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" (ASU 2015-03), which will result in the reclassification of debt issuance costs from "Other Assets" to inclusion as a reduction of our reportable "Long-Term Debt" balance on our consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2015-03 becomes effective January 1, 2016, subject to early adoption, and will require full retrospective application. We do not expect this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets.

We incurred $7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with this transaction.

        On March 20, 2014, we exercised our early redemption right under the indenture of the 4.750% senior notes due in 2014 ("the 2014 Notes") effective April 24, 2014. The redemption price was based on the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture governing the 2014 Notes) plus 40 basis points, together with accrued and unpaid interest as of April 24, 2014. The aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Notes outstanding on March 20, 2014 was $1,000 million and we made a cash payment of $1,022 million in the second quarter of 2014 to redeem such Notes.

        The principal amount of our senior notes which have not been redeemed mature as follows: $2,250 million in 2016, $1,250 million in 2017, $750 million in 2018, $1,000 million in 2019, $1,300 million in 2020 and $12,736 million thereafter.

Revolving Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper

        Concurrent with the AT&T merger transaction close on July 24, 2015, we terminated our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program which included the ability for us to borrow up to $2.5 billion.

Covenants and Restrictions

        The senior notes include covenants that limit DIRECTV U.S.'s and its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, (i) incur certain liens, (ii) engage in certain sale leaseback transactions, and (iii) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets. If DIRECTV U.S. and its subsidiaries fail to comply with these covenants, all or a portion of its borrowings under the senior notes could become immediately payable. The senior notes provide that the borrowings may be required to be prepaid if certain change-in-control events, coupled with a ratings decline, occur.

        DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC Guarantors.    Following the close of the AT&T merger transaction discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC assumed as the successor of DIRECTV the guarantee of the senior notes on the terms set forth in the respective Supplemental Indentures and the Guarantee, dated as of July 24, 2015, with respect to each Supplemental Indenture (collectively, the "Guarantees"). For further information, refer to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2015 by AT&T Inc.

        DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC guarantees all of the senior notes outstanding, jointly and severally with DIRECTV Holdings, LLC's material domestic subsidiaries. DIRECTV Group Holdings LLC unconditionally guarantees that the principal and interest on the respective senior notes will be paid in full when due and that the obligations of the Co-Issuers to the holders of the outstanding senior notes will be performed.

        As a result of the Guarantees, holders of the senior notes may have the benefit of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC 's interests in the assets and related earnings of our operations that are not held through DIRECTV Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries. Those operations are primarily our DTH digital television services throughout Latin America which are held by DIRECTV Latin America and our regional sports networks which are held by DSN. However, the subsidiaries that own and operate the DIRECTV Latin America business and the regional sports networks have not guaranteed the senior notes.

        The Guarantees are unsecured senior obligations of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC and rank equally in right of payment with all of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC's existing and future senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC 's future subordinated debt, if any. The Guarantees are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured obligations, if any, of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC to the extent of the value of the assets securing the obligations. DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC is not subject to the covenants contained in the indentures governing the senior notes and the Guarantees will terminate and be released on the terms set forth in each of the indentures.

Desenvolve SP Financing Facility

        In the second quarter of 2014, Sky Brasil entered into a Brazilian real denominated financing facility with Desenvolve SP, an agency created by the Sao Paulo State Government for economic development, under which Sky Brasil may borrow funds for the construction of a satellite and broadcast facility. Each borrowing under the facility, including accrued interest, will be repaid in a single installment five years from the date of such borrowing. The financing facility is secured by a third party bank guarantee. As of June 30, 2015, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$98 million ($31 million) under the facility bearing interest of 2.5% per year. As of December 31, 2014, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$48 million ($18 million) under the facility bearing interest of 2.5% per year. The U.S. dollar amounts reflect the conversion of the Brazilian real denominated amounts into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates of R$3.10 / $1.00 and R$2.66 / $1.00 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

        Borrowings under the Desenvolve SP facility mature as follows: R$48 million ($15 million) in 2019 and R$50 million ($16 million) in 2020.

BNDES Financing Facility

        In March 2013, Sky Brasil entered into a Brazilian real denominated financing facility with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social, or BNDES, a government owned bank in Brazil, under which Sky Brasil may borrow funds for the purchase of set-top receivers. As of June 30, 2015, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$552 million ($178 million) outstanding under the BNDES facility bearing interest at a weighted-average rate of 5.40% per year. As of December 31, 2014, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$710 million ($267 million) outstanding under the BNDES facility bearing interest at a weighted-average rate of 5.11% per year. Borrowings under the facility are required to be repaid in 30 monthly installments. The U.S. dollar amounts reflect the conversion of the Brazilian real denominated amounts into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates of R$3.10 / $1.00 and R$2.66 / $1.00 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

        Borrowings under the BNDES facility mature as follows: R$174 million ($56 million) in 2015, R$273 million ($88 million) in 2016, R$102 million ($33 million) in 2017 and R$3 million ($1 million) in 2018. The financing facility is collateralized by the financed set-top receivers with an original purchase price of approximately R$1,037 million ($335 million) based on the exchange rate of R$3.10 / $1.00 as of June 30, 2015.

Restricted Cash

        Restricted cash of $13 million as of June 30, 2015 and $10 million as of December 31, 2014 was included as part of "Prepaid expenses and other" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The majority of these amounts secure certain of our letters of credit obligations and restrictions on the cash will be removed as the letters of credit expire.

Note 5: Derivative Financial Instruments

        We use derivative financial instruments primarily to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivative financial instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities at fair value. We calculate the fair value of derivative contracts using an income-approach model (discounted cash flow analysis), the use of which is considered a Level 2 valuation technique, using observable inputs, such as yield curves, foreign currency exchange rates, and incorporating counterparty credit risk, as applicable. For derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recognized in earnings in the current period. For derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gains or losses on the derivative financial instruments are initially reported in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the same periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the unrealized gains and losses on these derivative financial instruments, if any, is recorded immediately in earnings. We evaluate the effectiveness of our derivative financial instruments at inception and on a quarterly basis.

        The following table sets forth the fair values of assets and liabilities associated with the derivative financial instruments as of:

        Collateral Arrangements.    We have agreements with our derivative instrument counterparties that include collateral provisions which require a party with an unrealized loss position in excess of certain thresholds to post cash collateral for the amount in excess of the threshold. The threshold levels in our collateral agreements are based on each party's credit ratings. We held no cash collateral from counterparties as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We did not have any cash collateral posted with counterparties as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We do not offset the fair value of collateral, whether the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable), against the fair value of the derivative instruments.

Cross-Currency Swap Contracts

        In a series of financing transactions, DIRECTV U.S. issued, pursuant to a U.S. registration statement, the following senior notes: £750 million in aggregate principal of 4.375% senior notes due in 2029, €500 million in aggregate principal of 2.750% senior notes due in 2023 and £350 million in aggregate principal of 5.200% senior notes due in 2033. In connection with the issuance of these senior notes, DIRECTV U.S. entered into cross-currency swap contracts to manage the related foreign exchange risk by effectively converting all of the fixed-rate British pound sterling and fixed-rate Euro denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. These cross-currency swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The terms of the cross-currency swap contracts correspond to the related hedged senior notes and have maturities ranging from May 2023 to November 2033.

        We calculate the fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts using an income-approach model (discounted cash flow analysis), the use of which is considered a Level 2 valuation technique, using observable inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates, swap rates, cross-currency basis swap spreads and incorporating counterparty credit risk.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2015, DIRECTV U.S. recorded net remeasurement gains of $32 million in "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the remeasurement of the hedged senior notes. To offset these remeasurement gains, we reclassified $32 million ($20 million after tax) from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, DIRECTV U.S. recorded net remeasurement losses of $58 million in "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the remeasurement of the hedged senior notes. To offset these remeasurement losses, we reclassified $58 million ($36 million after tax) from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These reclassifications eliminate the impact of the remeasurement of the hedged senior notes from our results of operations.

Interest Rate Lock Contracts

        Periodically we entered into interest rate lock contracts such as forward starting swaps and treasury locks to hedge against changes in interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to a forecasted issuance of fixed rate debt. These interest rate locks are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. On March 17, 2014, DIRECTV U.S. issued $1,250 million in aggregate principal of 4.450% senior notes due in 2024. In connection with this transaction, DIRECTV U.S. settled all then-outstanding forward-starting interest rate swaps, which were previously entered into to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes related to the

DIRECTV

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

forecasted issuance of debt. These interest rate swaps were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. As a result of settling these forward-starting interest rate swaps, we recognized $1 million of ineffectiveness in earnings during 2014. As of June 30, 2015, we had $8 million in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these forward-starting interest rate swaps that is being recognized as interest expense over the term of the 4.450% senior notes due in 2024.

Fixed-to-Floating Interest Rate Swap Contracts

        DIRECTV U.S. has entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts from time to time in order to manage its interest rate exposure. We designate such swaps as fair value hedges. Depending on market conditions, the mix of our fixed interest rate and floating interest rate debt and other factors, we may periodically discontinue these fair value hedges and terminate our fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts by settling the contracts or by entering into offsetting contracts.

        During 2014, DIRECTV U.S. entered into interest rate swap contracts with a total notional amount of $3,000 million, converting a portion of the total aggregate principal amounts of the 5.000% senior notes due in 2021, the 3.800% senior notes due in 2022 and the 4.450% senior notes due in 2024 from a fixed to floating interest rate. In January 2015, DIRECTV U.S. discontinued the fair value hedges and settled these fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts. As a result of these settlements, DIRECTV U.S. received cash proceeds of $18 million, which are included in "Net cash provided by operations" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

        As of June 30, 2015, there was $74 million of favorable adjustments to the carrying value of the senior notes, which will be amortized to "Interest expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining term of the hedged senior notes. We calculated the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts using an income-approach model (discounted cash flow analysis), the use of which is considered a Level 2 valuation technique, using observable inputs, such as yield curves. In connection with the settlement of the fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts, we recognized a $2 million gain in "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The periodic interest settlements for the interest rate swap contracts are recorded in "Interest expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


Note 6: Contingencies

Venezuela Devaluation and Foreign Currency Exchange Controls

        Companies operating in Venezuela are required to obtain Venezuelan government approval to exchange Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars and such approval has not consistently been granted for several years. Consequently, our ability to pay U.S. dollar denominated obligations and repatriate cash generated in Venezuela in excess of local operating requirements is limited, which has resulted in increases in the cash balance at our Venezuelan subsidiary, and limited our ability to import set-top receivers and other equipment, limiting the growth of our business in Venezuela.

        As of June 30, 2015, the mechanisms in Venezuela for exchanging Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars were as follows: (i) the official government mechanism operated by the Venezuelan Central Bank, which has a fixed exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar mainly reserved for essential goods and services (ii) the auction based Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas, or SICAD, which is intended for dividend and royalty remittances as well as certain imports,

14

DIRECTV

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

(Unaudited)

including telecommunications equipment and (iii) an open market currency exchange system Sistema Marginal de Divisas, or SIMADI, which is based on supply and demand. As of June 30, 2015, the SICAD exchange rate was 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollars and the SIMADI exchange rate was 197.7 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollars.

        Effective March 31, 2014, we changed the exchange rate for remeasuring our Venezuelan subsidiary's monetary net assets from the official exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar to the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2014. As a result of the devaluation, we recorded a pre-tax charge in "Venezuelan currency devaluation charge" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $281 million in the first quarter of 2014, related to the remeasurement of the Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiary on March 31, 2014.

        As of June 30, 2015, we believe that the SICAD rate was the most representative rate to use for remeasurement, as a limited amount of telecommunications equipment was imported at the SICAD rate during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the official rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar continued to be reserved only for the settlement of U.S. dollar denominated obligations related to purchases of "essential goods and services". In addition, we did not repatriate any amounts at the official rate or through the SICAD mechanism but we were able to repatriate an insignificant amount of Venezuelan bolivars through the SIMADI mechanism during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded $39 million in "General and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the change in the SICAD exchange rate to 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2015 from 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2015.

        Our Venezuelan subsidiary had Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $595 million, including cash of $629 million, as of June 30, 2015, based on the SICAD exchange rate of 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar, as compared to Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $481 million, including cash of $481 million, as of December 31, 2014, based on the SICAD exchange rate of 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar. In addition, our Venezuelan subsidiary had $575 million of net property, equipment and intangible assets as of June 30, 2015 as compared to $574 million at December 31, 2014. In the second quarter of 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary generated revenues of approximately $250 million and operating profit before depreciation and amortization of approximately $80 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary generated revenues of approximately $500 million and operating profit before depreciation and amortization of approximately $180 million, excluding the impact of the $39 million exchange rate losses recorded in "General and administrative expenses" as a result of the change in the SICAD exchange rate.

        The exchange rate used to report net monetary assets and operating results of our Venezuelan subsidiary is currently based on the results of periodic SICAD auctions, which are expected to result in fluctuations in reported amounts that could be material to the results of operations in Venezuela in future periods and could materially affect the comparability of results for our Venezuelan subsidiary between periods. Significant uncertainties exist regarding the exchange mechanisms in Venezuela including the nature of transactions that are eligible for repatriation though the official process, SICAD or SIMADI, or any other new exchange mechanism that may emerge, how such mechanisms will operate in the future, as well as the volume of U.S. dollars available under each mechanism. Changes in exchange mechanisms and rates will impact the comparability of our results of operations and

financial position, and would likely result in significant future devaluations or impairments of tangible and intangible assets.

Litigation

        Litigation is subject to uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Various legal actions, claims and proceedings are pending against us arising in the ordinary course of business. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or treble damage claims, or demands that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be estimated at June 30, 2015. After discussion with counsel representing us in those actions, it is the opinion of management that such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We expense legal costs as incurred.

        NFL Sunday Ticket Litigation.    DIRECTV has been served with three putative class actions filed in the U.S; District Court for the Central District of California against DIRECTV and the NFL alleging among other things that the agreement among the defendants for DIRECTV's exclusive distribution of NFL Sunday Ticket violates Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and that plaintiffs have been overcharged for the televised presentation of out-of-market NFL games. The complaint in Abrahamian v. National Football League, Inc., et al., was served in June 2015, the complaint in Ninth Inning Inc. v. National Football League, Inc., et al. was served in July 2015 and the complaint in Rookie Sports Café, L.L.C., et al., was served in August 2015. The complaints seek injunctions, unspecified treble damages and attorneys' fees. We are confident that our agreement with the NFL does not violate the Sherman Act and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

        Major League Baseball Litigation.    A class was certified by Judge Shira Scheindlin in the case Lerner et al. v. Office of the Commissioner of Baseball et al. filed in May 2015 in federal court for the Southern District of New York. Judge Scheindlin ruled that the plaintiffs were entitled to seek an injunction on behalf of a class of subscribers who had purchased MLB Extra Innings from DIRECTV, Comcast and MLB, to prevent MLB from enforcing league rules that grant member teams exclusive home team territories. The Judge also ruled that the plaintiffs were not entitled to seek damages on behalf of the class. A trial is expected in the fall of 2015. The defendants intend to defend the case and pursue appeals to reverse the numerous errors of law that formed the bases of the trial court's orders.

        Intellectual Property Litigation.    We are a defendant in several unrelated lawsuits claiming infringement of various patents relating to various aspects of our businesses. In certain of these cases other industry participants are also defendants, and also in certain of these cases we expect that any potential liability would be the responsibility of our equipment vendors pursuant to applicable contractual indemnification provisions. Further, in certain of these cases, suppliers of equipment to DIRECTV are also defendants, and DIRECTV has contractual obligations to indemnify and hold harmless those suppliers in those cases. To the extent that the allegations in these lawsuits can be analyzed by us at this stage of their proceedings, we believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend the actions vigorously. We have determined the likelihood of a material liability in such matters is remote or have made appropriate accruals and the final disposition of these claims is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position. However, if an adverse ruling is made in a lawsuit involving key intellectual property, such ruling could possibly be material to our consolidated results of operations of any one period. No assurance can be given that any adverse outcome would not be material to our consolidated financial position.

        Early Cancellation Fees.    As previously reported, in 2008, a number of plaintiffs filed putative class action lawsuits in state and federal courts challenging the early cancellation fees we assess our customers when they do not fulfill their programming commitments. We have reached a settlement with the individual plaintiffs in the federal cases. In the California state court action, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the California Court of Appeal's opinion affirming the denial of our motion to compel arbitration. We believe that our early cancellation fees are adequately disclosed, and represent reasonable estimates of the costs we incur when customers cancel service before fulfilling their programming commitments.

        State and Federal Inquiries.    From time to time, we receive investigative inquiries or subpoenas from state and federal authorities with respect to alleged violations of state and federal statutes. These inquiries may lead to legal proceedings in some cases.

        FTC Litigation.    On March 11, 2015, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, filed a lawsuit against DIRECTV and DIRECTV,  LLC in United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The FTC alleges that DIRECTV failed to disclose adequately in our advertisements certain terms and conditions of our programming package offers. The complaint also alleges that DIRECTV violated applicable law by failing adequately to disclose, and to obtain consumers' express consent to, the terms of negative option offers for premium channels. The complaint seeks a permanent injunction to prevent further violations, as well as relief to redress injury to consumers. We believe we have valid defenses to the FTC's claims and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

        Waste Disposal Inquiry.    In August 2012, DIRECTV U.S. received from the State of California subpoenas and interrogatories related to our generation, handling, record keeping, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste, including universal waste, in the State of California, and the training of employees regarding the same. The investigation is jointly conducted by the Office of the Attorney General and the District Attorney for Alameda County and appears to be part of a broader effort to investigate waste handling and disposal processes of a number of industries. We are continuing to review our policies and procedures applicable to all facilities, cooperating with the investigation and recently began discussions with regulators directed at reaching resolution of this matter.

        Other.    We are subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions is not expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Income Tax Matters

        We have received tax assessments from certain foreign jurisdictions and have agreed to indemnify previously divested businesses for certain tax assessments relating to periods prior to their respective divestitures. These assessments are in various stages of the administrative process or litigation. While the outcome of these assessments and other tax issues cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate outcome will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or result of operations.

Satellites

        We may purchase in-orbit and launch insurance to mitigate the potential financial impact of satellite launch and in-orbit failures if the premium costs are considered economic relative to the risk of satellite failure. The insurance generally covers a portion of the unamortized book value of covered

satellites. We do not insure against lost revenues in the event of a total or partial loss of the capacity of a satellite. We generally rely on in-orbit spare satellites and excess transponder capacity at key orbital slots to mitigate the impact a satellite failure could have on our ability to provide service. At June 30, 2015, the net book value of in-orbit satellites was $2,047 million, all of which was uninsured.

Other

        We have an investment with a carrying value of $147 million as of June 30, 2015 in an entity that holds certain soccer rights and provides production services for soccer tournaments in Latin America. In connection with recent FIFA-related developments and investigations, our investment, which we account for following the equity method of accounting, could be adversely impacted and we could be required to record an impairment of our investment depending on on-going developments related to this entity.

        As of June 30, 2015, we were contingently liable under standby letters of credit and bonds in the aggregate amount of $361 million primarily related to judicial deposit and payment guarantees in Latin America and insurance deductibles.


Note 7: Related Party Transactions

        In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into transactions with related parties as discussed below. Related parties include Globo, which provides programming and advertising to Sky Brasil, and companies in which we hold equity method investments, including Sky Mexico, GSN, HSH and ROOT SPORTS Northwest.

        The majority of payments under contractual arrangements with related parties are pursuant to multi-year programming contracts. Payments under these contracts are typically subject to annual rate increases and are based on the number of subscribers receiving the related programming.

Note 8: Stockholders' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interest

Capital Stock and Additional Paid-In Capital

        At June 30, 2015, our certificate of incorporation provided for the following capital stock: 3,950,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. DIRECTV common stock is entitled to one vote per share and trades on the NASDAQ, under the ticker "DTV". As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Share Repurchase Program

        Since 2006 our Board of Directors has approved multiple authorizations for the repurchase of our common stock. In February 2014 our Board of Directors approved an authorization for up to $3.5 billion for repurchases of our common stock. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, we suspended the share repurchase program and agreed to not purchase, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of our capital stock during the pendency of the proposed transaction without AT&T's consent, effective May 18, 2014.

Noncontrolling Interest

        In connection with our acquisition of Sky Brasil in 2006, our partner who holds the remaining 7% interest, Globo Comunicações e Participações S.A., or Globo, was granted the right, until January 2014, to require us to purchase all, but not less than all, of its shares in Sky Brasil. Globo did not exercise its right to require us to purchase its shares in Sky Brasil. That right has now expired and the noncontrolling interest is no longer redeemable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, during the first quarter of 2014, we reclassified $375 million, which was the fair value of Globo's remaining 7% interest, from "Redeemable noncontrolling interest" to "Noncontrolling interest," a component of stockholders' deficit in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of 2014, we discontinued fair value accounting for this equity instrument.

Note 9: Earnings Per Common Share

        We compute basic earnings per common share, or EPS, by dividing net income attributable to DIRECTV by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

        Diluted EPS considers the effect of common equivalent shares, which consist entirely of common stock options and restricted stock units issued to employees. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 we excluded 0.2 million common stock awards from the computation of diluted EPS, because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have had an antidilutive effect.

        The reconciliation of the amounts used in the basic and diluted EPS computation is as follows:

Operating profit (loss) before depreciation and amortization, which is a financial measure that is not determined in accordance with GAAP can be calculated by adding amounts under the caption "Depreciation and amortization expense" to "Operating profit (loss)." This measure should be used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures and is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our management and Board of Directors use operating profit before depreciation and amortization to evaluate the operating performance of our company and our business segments and to allocate resources and capital to business segments. This metric is also used as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes and to measure income generated from operations that could be used to fund capital expenditures, service debt or pay taxes. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents an allocation to current expense of the cost of historical capital expenditures and for intangible assets resulting from prior business acquisitions. To compensate for the exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense from operating profit, our management and Board of Directors separately measure and budget for capital expenditures and business acquisitions.

We believe this measure is useful to investors, along with GAAP measures (such as revenues, operating profit and net income), to compare our operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media service providers. We believe that investors use current and projected operating profit before depreciation and amortization and similar measures to estimate our current or prospective enterprise value and make investment decisions. This metric provides investors with a means to compare operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Our management believes this is useful given the significant variation in depreciation and amortization expense that can result from the timing of capital expenditures, the capitalization of intangible assets, potential variations in expected useful lives when compared to other companies and periodic changes to estimated useful lives.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

Note 12: Subsequent Events

        On July 24, 2015, we were acquired by AT&T. Under the merger agreement, each share of DIRECTV stock was exchanged for $28.50 cash plus 1.892 shares of AT&T common stock. DIRECTV shareholders hold an approximate 16% stake in the combined company, based on AT&T's common shares outstanding. Based on AT&T's $34.29 per share closing stock price on July 24, 2015, total consideration paid to DIRECTV shareholders was $47,110 million.

        Our assets and liabilities are being appraised, based on third-party valuations and will be recorded in AT&T's financial statements at their respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition, July 24, 2015.

    Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment valuations will reflect changes in technology, usage, and relative obsolescence and depreciation of the assets.

    Debt instruments and investments are valued in relation to current market conditions.

    Foreign holdings and operations will be valued using exchange rates as determined by current practice in the countries in which we operate, such as Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and other countries in Latin America. These valuations could result in significant changes to our historical account balances. For example, our Venezuela subsidiary had bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $595 million, including cash of $629 million, as of June 30, 2015, based on the SICAD exchange rate of 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar. When valuing these operations, AT&T may elect an alternative government approved mechanism to exchange Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars, including the SIMADI exchange rate, or other new exchange mechanisms that may emerge. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    Assets and liabilities will also be recorded for other identifiable intangible assets, including customer lists, trade name, and orbital slots. The value of these intangibles will be determined using AT&T's estimates of future cash flows from the existing business.

    Other assets and liabilities will be valued based on AT&T's estimates.

        After all values have been assigned to assets and liabilities, the remainder of the purchase price is recorded as goodwill.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on June 4, 2015, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2015, and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report.

        This Form 10-Q has not been reviewed by an independent accountant using professional review standards and procedures, although such a review is required by Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X. The independent accountant previously engaged by DIRECTV is no longer independent as a result of the acquisition of DIRECTV by AT&T Inc. on July 24, 2015. An amendment to this Form 10-Q is expected to be filed once a review has been completed.

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of statements that include phrases such as we "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "foresee", "project" or other similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding our outlook for 2015 financial results, liquidity and capital resources.

        Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include economic, business, competitive, national or global political, market and regulatory conditions and the following, each of which is described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014:

    Levels of competition are increasing.

    We depend on others to produce programming and programming costs are increasing.

    Increased subscriber churn or subscriber upgrade and retention costs could materially adversely affect our financial performance.

    Our subscriber acquisition costs could materially increase.

    DIRECTV Latin America is subject to various additional risks associated with doing business internationally, which include political and economic instability and foreign currency exchange rate volatility and controls, especially in Venezuela.

    Our ability to keep pace with technological developments is uncertain.

    Our business relies on intellectual property, some of which is owned by third parties, and we may inadvertently infringe patents and proprietary rights of others.

    Construction or launch delays on satellites could materially adversely affect our revenues and earnings.

40


Table of Contents


DIRECTV

    Our satellites are subject to significant launch and operational risks.

    The loss of one or more satellites, none of which is currently insured, could materially adversely affect our business and earnings.

    Satellite programming signals have been stolen and may be stolen in the future, which could result in lost revenues and would cause us to incur incremental operating costs that do not result in subscriber acquisition.

    The ability to maintain FCC licenses and other regulatory approvals is critical to our business.

    We rely on network and information systems and other technology and a disruption or failure of such networks, systems or technology as a result of misappropriation of data or other malfeasance, as well as outages, natural disasters, accidental releases of information or similar events, may disrupt our business.

    We face risks arising from the outcome of various legal proceedings.

    Our strategic initiatives may not be successfully implemented, may not elicit the expected customer response in the market and may result in competitive reactions.

Those and the other factors that are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014.

        Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may occur and it is not possible for us to predict them all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development or otherwise, except as required by law.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortization, which is a financial measure that is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, can be calculated by adding amounts under the caption "Depreciation and amortization expense" to "Operating profit." This measure should be used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures and is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our management and our Board of Directors use operating profit before depreciation and amortization to evaluate the operating performance of our company and our business segments and to allocate resources and capital to business segments. This metric is also used as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes and to measure income generated from operations that could be used to fund capital expenditures, service debt or pay taxes. Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents an allocation to current expense of the cost of historical capital expenditures and for acquired intangible assets resulting from prior business acquisitions. To compensate for the exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense from operating profit, our management and our Board of Directors separately measure and budget for capital expenditures and business acquisitions.

We believe this measure is useful to investors, along with GAAP measures (such as revenues, operating profit and net income), to compare our operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media service providers. We believe that investors use current and projected operating profit before depreciation and amortization and similar measures to estimate our current or prospective enterprise value and make investment decisions. This metric provides investors with

45


Table of Contents


DIRECTV

SUMMARY DATA—(continued)

(Unaudited)

    a means to compare operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense. Our management believes this is useful given the significant variation in depreciation and amortization expense that can result from the timing of capital expenditures, the capitalization of intangible assets, potential variations in expected useful lives when compared to other companies and periodic changes to estimated useful lives.

    Operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin is calculated by dividing Operating profit before depreciation and amortization by Revenues.

(2)
Free cash flow, which is a financial measure that is not determined in accordance with GAAP, can be calculated by deducting amounts under the captions "Cash paid for property and equipment" and "Cash paid for satellites" from "Net cash provided by operating activities" from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This financial measure should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures and is not presented as an alternative measure of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our management and our Board of Directors use free cash flow to evaluate the cash generated by our current subscriber base, net of capital expenditures, for the purpose of allocating resources to activities such as adding new subscribers, retaining and upgrading existing subscribers, for additional capital expenditures and other capital investments or transactions and as a measure of performance for incentive compensation purposes. We believe this measure is useful to investors, along with other GAAP measures (such as cash flows from operating and investing activities), to compare our operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media companies. We believe that investors also use current and projected free cash flow to determine the ability of revenues from our current and projected subscriber base to fund required and discretionary spending and to help determine our financial value.

DIRECTV

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

        DIRECTV, which we also refer to as the Company, we, or us, is a leading provider of digital television entertainment in the United States and Latin America. We operate two direct-to-home, or DTH, business units: DIRECTV U.S. and DIRECTV Latin America, which are differentiated by their geographic locations and are engaged in acquiring, promoting, selling and distributing digital entertainment programming primarily via satellite to residential and commercial subscribers. In addition, we own and operate two regional sports networks, and also own non-controlling interests in two others, ROOT SPORTS™ Northwest and ROOT SPORTS Southwest (our joint venture with AT&T Inc.). We own a 42% interest in Game Show Network LLC, or GSN, a television network dedicated to game-related programming and Internet interactive game playing. We account for our investment in ROOT SPORTS Northwest, ROOT SPORTS Southwest and GSN using the equity method of accounting.

    DIRECTV U.S.  DIRECTV Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries, which we refer to as DIRECTV U.S., is the largest provider of DTH digital television services and the second largest provider in the multi-channel video programming distribution, or MVPD, industry in the United States. As of June 30, 2015, DIRECTV U.S. had approximately 20.3 million subscribers.

    DIRECTV Latin America.  DIRECTV Latin America Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or DIRECTV Latin America, is a leading provider of DTH digital television services throughout Latin America. DIRECTV Latin America is comprised of: PanAmericana, which provides services in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and certain other countries in the region, and Sky Brasil Servicos Ltda., or Sky Brasil, which is a 93% owned subsidiary. DIRECTV Latin America also includes our 41% equity method investment in Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V., or Sky Mexico, which we include in the PanAmericana segment. As of June 30, 2015, PanAmericana had approximately 7.2 million subscribers, Sky Brasil had approximately 5.7 million subscribers and Sky Mexico had approximately 6.9 million subscribers.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we acquired a noncontrolling interest in Houston Sports Holdings, LLC, or HSH, the regional sports network based in Houston, Texas. The operating results of DSN are reported as part of the "Sports Networks, Eliminations and Other" reporting segment.

        On July 24, 2015, DIRECTV completed a merger transaction under which DIRECTV merged into Steam Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of AT&T Inc., or AT&T. Following the merger, Steam Merger Sub, LCC (a successor in interest to DIRECTV) was renamed DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFFECTING THE COMPARABILITY OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Venezuela Devaluation and Foreign Currency Exchange Controls

        Companies operating in Venezuela are required to obtain Venezuelan government approval to exchange Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars and such approval has not consistently been granted for several years. Consequently, our ability to pay U.S. dollar denominated obligations and repatriate cash generated in Venezuela in excess of local operating requirements is limited, which has resulted in

DIRECTV

increases in the cash balance at our Venezuelan subsidiary, and limited our ability to import set-top receivers and other equipment, limiting the growth of our business in Venezuela.

        As of June 30, 2015, the mechanisms in Venezuela for exchanging Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars were as follows: (i) the official government mechanism operated by the Venezuelan Central Bank, which has a fixed exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar mainly reserved for essential goods and services (ii) the auction based Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas, or SICAD, which is intended for dividend and royalty remittances as well as certain imports, including telecommunications equipment and (iii) an open market currency exchange system Sistema Marginal de Divisas, or SIMADI, which is based on supply and demand. As of June 30, 2015, the SICAD exchange rate was 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollars and the SIMADI exchange rate was 197.7 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollars.

        Effective March 31, 2014, we changed the exchange rate for remeasuring our Venezuelan subsidiary's monetary net assets from the official exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar to the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2014. As a result of the devaluation, we recorded a pre-tax charge in "Venezuelan currency devaluation charge" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $281 million in the first quarter of 2014, related to the remeasurement of the Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiary on March 31, 2014.

        As of June 30, 2015, we believe that the SICAD rate was the most representative rate to use for remeasurement, as a limited amount of telecommunications equipment was imported at the SICAD rate during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the official rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar continued to be reserved only for the settlement of U.S. dollar denominated obligations related to purchases of "essential goods and services". In addition, we did not repatriate any amounts at the official rate or through the SICAD mechanism but we were able to repatriate an insignificant amount of Venezuelan bolivars through the SIMADI mechanism during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded $39 million in "General and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the change in the SICAD exchange rate to 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2015 from 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2015.

        Our Venezuelan subsidiary had Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $595 million, including cash of $629 million, as of June 30, 2015, based on the SICAD exchange rate of 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar, as compared to Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $481 million, including cash of $481 million, as of December 31, 2014, based on the SICAD exchange rate of 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar. In addition, our Venezuelan subsidiary had $575 million of net property, equipment and intangible assets as of June 30, 2015 as compared to $574 million at December 31, 2014. In the second quarter of 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary generated revenues of approximately $250 million and operating profit before depreciation and amortization of approximately $80 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary generated revenues of approximately $500 million and operating profit before depreciation and amortization of approximately $180 million, excluding the impact of the $39 million exchange rate losses recorded in "General and administrative expenses" as a result of the change in the SICAD exchange rate.

        The exchange rate used to report net monetary assets and operating results of our Venezuelan subsidiary is currently based on the results of periodic SICAD auctions, which are expected to result in fluctuations in reported amounts that could be material to the results of operations in Venezuela in future periods and could materially affect the comparability of results for our Venezuelan subsidiary

between periods. Significant uncertainties exist regarding the exchange mechanisms in Venezuela including the nature of transactions that are eligible for repatriation though the official process, SICAD or SIMADI, or any other new exchange mechanism that may emerge, how such mechanisms will operate in the future, as well as the volume of U.S. dollars available under each mechanism. Changes in exchange mechanisms and rates will impact the comparability of our results of operations and financial position, and would likely result in significant future devaluations or impairments of tangible and intangible assets.

AT&T Merger-Related Costs

        On July 24, 2015, we were acquired by AT&T. Under the merger agreement, each share of DIRECTV stock was exchanged for $28.50 cash plus 1.892 shares of AT&T common stock. DIRECTV shareholders hold an approximate 16% stake in the combined company, based on AT&T's common shares outstanding. Based on AT&T's $34.29 per share closing stock price on July 24, 2015, total consideration paid to DIRECTV shareholders was $47,110 million.

        In connection with the merger, we recognized costs of $21 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 in "General and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, primarily related to professional services fees. These costs are reported in the "Sports Networks, Eliminations and Other" segment.

KEY TERMINOLOGY

        The following key terminology is used in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations:

        Revenues.    We earn revenues mostly from monthly fees we charge subscribers for subscriptions to basic and premium channel programming, advanced receiver fees (which include HD, DVR and multi-room viewing), seasonal live sporting events and pay-per-view programming. We also earn revenues from monthly fees we charge subscribers for multiple set-top receivers, hardware revenues from subscribers who lease or purchase set-top receivers from us, warranty service fees and advertising services. Revenues are reported net of customer credits and discounted promotions.

        Broadcast Programming and Other.    These costs primarily include license fees for subscription service programming, pay-per-view programming, seasonal live sporting and other events. Other costs include continuing service fees paid to third parties for active subscribers and warranty service costs.

        Subscriber Service Expenses.    Subscriber service expenses include the costs of customer call centers, billing, remittance processing and service calls.

        Broadcast Operations Expenses.    These expenses include broadcast center operating costs, signal transmission expenses (including costs of collecting signals for our local channel offerings), and costs of monitoring, maintaining and insuring our satellites. Also included are engineering expenses associated with deterring theft of our signal.

        Subscriber Acquisition Costs.    These costs include the cost of set-top receivers and other equipment, commissions we pay to national retailers, independent satellite television retailers, dealers and telcos, and the cost of installation, advertising, marketing and customer call center expenses associated with the acquisition of new subscribers. Set-top receivers leased to new subscribers are capitalized in "Property and equipment, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over their useful lives. In certain countries in Latin America, where our customer agreements provide for the lease of the entire DIRECTV or SKY System, we also capitalize the costs of the other customer

49


Table of Contents


DIRECTV

premises equipment and related installation costs. The amount of set-top receivers capitalized each period for subscriber acquisitions is included in "Cash paid for property and equipment" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

        Upgrade and Retention Costs.    Upgrade and retention costs are associated with upgrade efforts for existing subscribers that we believe will result in higher average monthly revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, and lower churn. Our upgrade efforts include subscriber equipment upgrade programs for advanced receivers and similar initiatives. Retention costs also include the costs of installing and providing hardware under our movers program for subscribers relocating to a new residence. Set-top receivers leased to existing subscribers under upgrade and retention programs are capitalized in "Property and equipment, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The amount of set-top receivers capitalized each period for upgrade and retention programs is included in "Cash paid for property and equipment" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses include departmental costs for legal, administrative services, finance, marketing and information technology. These costs also include expenses for bad debt and other operating expenses, such as legal settlements, and gains or losses from the sale or disposal of fixed assets.

        Average Monthly Revenue Per Subscriber.    We calculate ARPU by dividing average monthly revenues, net of customer credits and discounted promotions, for the period (total revenues during the period divided by the number of months in the period) by average subscribers for the period. We calculate average subscribers for the period by adding the number of subscribers as of the beginning of the period and for each quarter end in the current year or period and dividing by the sum of the number of quarters in the period plus one.

        Average Monthly Subscriber Churn.    Average monthly subscriber churn represents the number of subscribers whose service is disconnected, expressed as a percentage of the average total number of subscribers. We calculate average monthly subscriber churn by dividing the average monthly number of disconnected subscribers for the period (total subscribers disconnected, net of reconnects, during the period divided by the number of months in the period) by average subscribers for the period.

        Subscriber Count.    The total number of subscribers represents the total number of subscribers actively subscribing to our service, including subscribers who have suspended their account for a particular season of the year because they are temporarily away from their primary residence and subscribers who are in the process of relocating and commercial equivalent viewing units.

        SAC.    We calculate SAC, which represents total subscriber acquisition costs stated on a per subscriber basis, by dividing total subscriber acquisition costs for the period by the number of gross new subscribers acquired during the period. We calculate total subscriber acquisition costs for the period by adding together "Subscriber acquisition costs" expensed during the period and the amount of cash paid for equipment leased to new subscribers during the period.

        Subscribers.    In the second quarter of 2015, net subscriber disconnections increased primarily due to lower gross subscriber additions as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Gross subscriber additions declined primarily as a result of stricter credit policies. Average monthly subscriber churn was relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014.

        Revenues.    DIRECTV U.S. revenues increased in the second quarter of 2015 primarily as a result of higher ARPU. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from price increases on programming packages and regional sports networks, higher set-top box lease fees, a reduction in new customer credits and higher revenues from pay-per-view events, as well as increased ad sales. These improvements were partially offset by increased promotional offers to existing customers.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization.    Operating profit before depreciation and amortization increased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher revenues coupled with lower upgrade and retention costs, partially offset by higher broadcast programming and other costs and higher subscriber service expenses. Upgrade and retention costs decreased primarily due to a lower upgrade volume. Broadcast programming and other costs increased primarily due to annual program supplier rate increases and a larger subscriber base, as well as higher pay-per-view events expense. Subscriber service expenses increased mainly as a result of customer service initiatives.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin declined primarily due to the higher broadcast programming and other costs. The decline was partially offset by lower upgrade and retention expenses as well as relatively lower growth to subscriber acquisition costs associated with the decrease in gross additions.

        Operating profit.    Operating profit increased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 due to the higher operating profit before depreciation and amortization.

        Operating profit margin decreased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 due to the decrease in operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin, partially offset by the impact of slower relative growth in depreciation and amortization expense.

        Subscribers.    In the second quarter of 2015 net subscriber results decreased as higher gross additions driven by increased advanced product sales were more than offset by the impact of a higher average monthly churn rate. Total churn increased due to a combination of factors including a challenging economic and competitive environment, issues related to the migration of key systems that impacted existing subscribers, as well as a higher mix of pre-paid customers. Additionally, the average monthly churn rate in the second quarter of 2014 was favorably impacted by demand related to the FIFA World Cup.

        Revenues.    Revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2015 due to a decrease in ARPU, partially offset by subscriber growth. The decrease in ARPU was primarily due to unfavorable exchange rates, partially offset by higher ARPU in local currency terms due to growth in advanced services.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization.    Operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin decreased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to lower revenues. The operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin was also impacted by issues related to the system migration of customers, which increased the growth in customer service, and the weaker economic conditions, which impacted general and administrative expenses, as well as higher broadcast operations expenses primarily associated with the buildout of a new broadband network.

        Operating profit.    Operating profit and operating profit margin decreased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to the decrease in operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin.

        Subscribers.    In the second quarter of 2015 net subscriber additions decreased primarily due to a decline in prepaid gross additions mainly in Argentina, as well as an increase in the average monthly churn rate principally due to lower prepaid connection rates. Prepaid gross additions and reconnections rates in the second quarter of 2014 were favorably impacted by demand related to the FIFA World Cup.

        Revenues.    Revenues increased in the second quarter of 2015 due to subscriber growth and an increase in ARPU. The increase in ARPU was primarily driven by price increases and an increase in the number of subscribers with advanced services, partially offset by unfavorable exchange rates.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization.    Operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin decreased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to a $39 million charge in "General and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the remeasurement of the Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets during the second quarter of 2015. Also contributing to the decreases were the impact of cost inflation, the impact on average margins from depreciation of the Venezuelan bolivar, as well as foreign currency exchange transaction losses. These margin decreases were partially offset by relatively lower subscriber acquisition costs mainly resulting from the lower gross additions and slower relative growth in programming costs compared to the prior year period related to special events including the FIFA World Cup.

        Operating profit.    Operating profit and operating profit margin decreased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 due to the decrease in operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin, as well as an increase in depreciation and amortization expense due to higher total capitalized subscriber leased equipment and installations costs, as well as higher capitalized infrastructure costs.

        Subscribers.    In the six months ended June 30, 2015, net subscriber disconnections increased due to lower gross subscriber additions, partially offset by the impact of a lower average monthly churn rate compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. Gross subscriber additions decreased primarily as a result of stricter credit policies. The improvement in average monthly churn was primarily due to a continued focus on attracting higher quality new subscribers and improved macroeconomic conditions, which resulted in higher customer pay rates, as well as successful winback initiatives.

        Revenues.    DIRECTV U.S. revenues increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of higher ARPU and a larger subscriber base. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from price increases on programming packages and regional sports networks, higher set-top box lease fees, higher penetration of HD-DVRs, a reduction in new customer credits and higher revenues from pay-per-view events, as well as increased ad sales. These increases were partially offset by increased promotional offers for existing customers.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization.    Operating profit before depreciation and amortization increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to higher revenues, partially offset by higher broadcast programming and other costs, increased subscriber acquisition costs and higher subscriber services expenses. Broadcast programming and other costs increased primarily due to annual program supplier rate increases and a larger subscriber base, as well as higher pay-per-view events expenses. Subscriber acquisition costs increased primarily due to an increase in higher quality subscribers from the consumer electronics distribution channel. Subscriber service expenses increased mainly as a result of customer service initiatives.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to the higher broadcast programming and other costs.

        Operating profit.    Operating profit increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to the increase in operating profit before depreciation and amortization.

        Operating profit margin decreased in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to the decrease in operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin, partially offset by the impact of slower relative growth in depreciation and amortization expense.

        Subscribers.    In the six months ended June 30, 2015, net subscriber additions decreased as higher gross additions driven by increased advanced product sales were more than offset by the impact of a higher average monthly churn rate. Total churn increased due to a combination of factors including issues related to the migration of key systems that impacted existing subscribers, a higher mix of pre-paid customers, and a challenging economic and competitive environment.

        Revenues.    Revenues decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to a decrease in ARPU, partially offset by subscriber growth. The decrease in ARPU was primarily due to unfavorable exchange rates.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization.    Operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to lower revenues along with higher broadcast operations expenses primarily associated with the buildout of a new broadband network. The operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin was also impacted by issues related to the system migration of customers which increased the growth in customer service and general and administrative expenses.

        Operating profit.    Operating profit and operating profit margin decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to the decrease in operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin.

Amounts include the impact of the Venezuelan devaluation charge of $281 million recorded in the first quarter of 2014, as well as the ongoing impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

        Subscribers.    In the six months ended June 30, 2015, net subscriber additions decreased primarily due to a decline in prepaid gross additions mainly in Argentina, as well as an increase in the average monthly churn rate principally due to lower prepaid connection rates. Prepaid gross additions and reconnections rates in the six months ended June 30, 2014 were favorably impacted by demand related to the FIFA World Cup.

        Revenues.    Revenues increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to subscriber growth and an increase in ARPU. The increase in ARPU was primarily driven by price increases and an increase in the number of subscribers with advanced services, partially offset by unfavorable exchange rates.

        Operating profit before depreciation and amortization.    Operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to $284 of charges related to the remeasurement of the Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $39 million of such charges during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Also contributing to the increase were higher revenues and lower subscriber acquisition costs mainly resulting from the lower gross additions. These increases were partially offset by the impact of cost inflation, as well as the impact on average margins from depreciation of the Venezuelan bolivar and foreign currency transaction costs.

        Operating profit.    Operating profit and operating profit margin increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the increase in operating profit before depreciation and amortization and operating profit before depreciation and amortization margin.

DIRECTV Other Income and Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 37.7% compared to 40.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the unfavorable tax impact of a larger Venezuela currency devaluation in 2014.

    508     512  

        The increases in basic and diluted earnings per share were primarily due to higher net income attributable to DIRECTV.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and the cash flow that we generate from our operations. We expect that net cash provided by operating activities will grow and believe that our existing cash balances and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund our existing business plan.

        In March 2013, Sky Brasil entered into a Brazilian Real denominated financing facility with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social, or BNDES, a government owned bank in Brazil, under which Sky Brasil may borrow funds for the purchase of set-top receivers. As of June 30, 2015, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$552 million ($178 million) outstanding under the BNDES facility.

DIRECTV

        In the second quarter of 2014, Sky Brasil entered into a Brazilian Real denominated financing facility with Desenvolve SP, an agency created by Sao Paulo State Government for economic development, under which Sky Brasil may borrow funds for the construction of a satellite and broadcast facility. As of June 30, 2015, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$98 million ($31 million) under the facility.

        As of June 30, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,061 million compared to $4,635 million at December 31, 2014. As a measure of liquidity, the current ratio (ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was 1.18 at June 30, 2015 and 1.27 at December 31, 2014.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

        Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased to $3,238 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $3,064 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense and an increase in working capital related to the timing of prepaid expenses and payables.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

        Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased to $1,460 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1,509 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower capital expenditures for subscriber leased set-top receivers, partially offset by an increase in purchases of short-term investments and higher satellite capital expenditures.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

        Net cash flows used in financing activities increased to $1,311 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from net cash flows used in financing activities of $1,129 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was due higher repayments of long-term debt and a decrease in long-term debt issuances in the six months ended June 30, 2015, partially offset by a decrease in our share repurchases due to the suspension of our share repurchase program in May 2014.

Share Repurchase Program

        Since 2006 our Board of Directors has approved multiple authorizations for the repurchase of our common stock. In February 2014 our Board of Directors approved an authorization for up to $3.5 billion for repurchases of our common stock. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, we suspended the share repurchase program and agreed to not purchase, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of our capital stock during the pendency of the proposed transaction without AT&T's consent, effective May 18, 2014.

Debt

        At June 30, 2015, we had $19,512 million in total outstanding borrowings, which consisted of senior notes issued by DIRECTV U.S. and borrowings under the BNDES and Desenvolve SP financing facilities at Sky Brasil. Our outstanding borrowings are more fully described in Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report and in Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Part II of our 2014 Form 10-K/A.

        As appropriate, we will evaluate our optimal leverage on an ongoing basis. We may purchase our outstanding senior notes in the future from time to time in open market transactions or otherwise as part of liability management initiatives.

DIRECTV

        Senior Notes.    In March 2015, DIRECTV U.S. repaid the 3.550% senior notes due in 2015, or the 2015 Notes, for the unpaid principal balance of $1,200 million, together with accrued and unpaid interest as of that date, as required by the indenture for the 2015 Notes.

        In March 2014, we exercised our early redemption right under the indenture of the 4.750% senior notes due in 2014, or the 2014 Notes, effective April 24, 2014. The redemption price was based on the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture governing the 2014 Notes) plus 40 basis points, together with accrued and unpaid interest as of April 24, 2014. The aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Notes outstanding on March 20, 2014 was $1,000 million and we made a cash payment of $1,022 million in the second quarter of 2014 to redeem such Notes.

        At June 30, 2015, DIRECTV U.S.' senior notes had a carrying value of $19,303 million and a weighted-average coupon of 4.15%. The principal amount of our senior notes which have not been redeemed mature as follows: $2,250 million in 2016, $1,250 million in 2017, $750 million in 2018, $1,000 million in 2019, $1,300 million in 2020 and $12,736 million thereafter.

        Included in the amounts above are DIRECTV U.S.' €500 million in aggregate principal of 2.750% senior notes due in 2023, £750 million in aggregate principal of 4.375% senior notes due in 2029, and £350 million in aggregate principal of 5.200% senior notes due in 2033. In connection with the issuance of these senior notes, DIRECTV U.S. entered into cross-currency swap agreements to manage the related foreign exchange risk by effectively converting all of the fixed-rate British pound sterling and fixed-rate Euro denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. These cross-currency swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The terms of the cross-currency swap agreements correspond to the related hedged senior notes and have maturities ranging from May 2023 to November 2033.

        All of our senior notes were issued by DIRECTV Holdings LLC and DIRECTV Financing Co., Inc., or the Co-Issuers, and have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Revolving Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper

        Concurrent with the AT&T merger transaction close on July 24, 2015, we terminated our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program which included the ability for us to borrow up to $2.5 billion.

Covenants and Restrictions

        The senior notes include covenants that limit DIRECTV U.S.'s and its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, (i) incur certain liens, (ii) engage in certain sale leaseback transactions, and (iii) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets. If DIRECTV U.S. and its subsidiaries fail to comply with these covenants, all or a portion of its borrowings under the senior notes could become immediately payable. The senior notes provide that the borrowings may be required to be prepaid if certain change-in-control events, coupled with a ratings decline, occur.

        DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC Guarantors.    Following the close of the AT&T merger transaction discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1 Item 1, DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC assumed as the successor of DIRECTV the guarantee of the senior notes on the terms set forth in the respective Supplemental Indentures and the Guarantee, dated as of July 24, 2015, with respect to each Supplemental Indenture (collectively, the "Guarantees"). For further information, refer to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2015 by AT&T Inc.

DIRECTV

        DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC guarantees all of the senior notes outstanding, jointly and severally with DIRECTV Holdings, LLC's material domestic subsidiaries. DIRECTV Group Holdings LLC unconditionally guarantees that the principal and interest on the respective senior notes will be paid in full when due and that the obligations of the Co-Issuers to the holders of the outstanding senior notes will be performed.

        As a result of the Guarantees, holders of the senior notes may have the benefit of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC 's interests in the assets and related earnings of our operations that are not held through DIRECTV Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries. Those operations are primarily our DTH digital television services throughout Latin America which are held by DIRECTV Latin America and our regional sports networks which are held by DSN. However, the subsidiaries that own and operate the DIRECTV Latin America business and the regional sports networks have not guaranteed the senior notes.

        The Guarantees are unsecured senior obligations of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC and rank equally in right of payment with all of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC's existing and future senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC 's future subordinated debt, if any. The Guarantees are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured obligations, if any, of DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC to the extent of the value of the assets securing the obligations. DIRECTV Group Holdings, LLC is not subject to the covenants contained in the indentures governing the senior notes and the Guarantees will terminate and be released on the terms set forth in each of the indentures.

BNDES Financing Facility

        In March 2013, Sky Brasil entered into a Brazilian real denominated financing facility with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social, or BNDES, a government owned bank in Brazil, under which Sky Brasil may borrow funds for the purchase of set-top receivers. As of June 30, 2015, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$552 million ($178 million) outstanding under the BNDES facility bearing interest at a weighted-average rate of 5.40% per year. As of December 31, 2014, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$710 million ($267 million) outstanding under the BNDES facility bearing interest at a weighted-average rate of 5.11% per year. Borrowings under the facility are required to be repaid in 30 monthly installments. The U.S. dollar amounts reflect the conversion of the Brazilian real denominated amounts into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates of R$3.10 / $1.00 and R$2.66 / $1.00 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

        Borrowings under the BNDES facility mature as follows: R$174 million ($56 million) in 2015, R$273 million ($88 million) in 2016 and R$102 million ($33 million) in 2017. The financing facility is collateralized by the financed set-top receivers with an original purchase price of approximately R$1,037 million ($335 million) based on the exchange rate of RR$3.10 / $1.00 as of June 30, 2015.

Desenvolve SP Financing Facility

        In the second quarter of 2014, Sky Brasil entered into a Brazilian real denominated financing facility with Desenvolve SP, an agency created by the Sao Paulo State Government for economic development, under which Sky Brasil may borrow funds for the construction of a satellite and broadcast facility. Each borrowing under the facility, including accrued interest, will be repaid in a single installment five years from the date of such borrowing. The financing facility is secured by a third party bank guarantee. As of June 30, 2015, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$98 million ($31 million) under the facility bearing interest of 2.5% per year. As of December 31, 2014, Sky Brasil had borrowings of R$48 million ($18 million) under the facility bearing interest of 2.5% per year. The U.S. dollar

        Borrowings under the Desenvolve SP facility mature as follows: R$48 million ($15 million) in 2019 and R$50 million ($16 million) in 2020.

Contingencies

        Venezuela Devaluation and Foreign Currency Exchange Controls.    Companies operating in Venezuela are required to obtain Venezuelan government approval to exchange Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars and such approval has not consistently been granted for several years. Consequently, our ability to pay U.S. dollar denominated obligations and repatriate cash generated in Venezuela in excess of local operating requirements is limited, which has resulted in increases in the cash balance at our Venezuelan subsidiary, and limited our ability to import set-top receivers and other equipment, limiting the growth of our business in Venezuela.

        As of June 30, 2015, the mechanisms in Venezuela for exchanging Venezuelan bolivars into U.S. dollars were as follows: (i) the official government mechanism operated by the Venezuelan Central Bank, which has a fixed exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar mainly reserved for essential goods and services (ii) the auction based Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas, or SICAD, which is intended for dividend and royalty remittances as well as certain imports, including telecommunications equipment and (iii) an open market currency exchange system Sistema Marginal de Divisas, or SIMADI, which is based on supply and demand. As of June 30, 2015, the SICAD exchange rate was 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollars and the SIMADI exchange rate was 197.7 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollars.

        Effective March 31, 2014, we changed the exchange rate for remeasuring our Venezuelan subsidiary's monetary net assets from the official exchange rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar to the SICAD rate, which was 10.7 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2014. As a result of the devaluation, we recorded a pre-tax charge in "Venezuelan currency devaluation charge" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of $281 million in the first quarter of 2014, related to the remeasurement of the Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of our Venezuelan subsidiary on March 31, 2014.

        As of June 30, 2015, we believe that the SICAD rate was the most representative rate to use for remeasurement, as a limited amount of telecommunications equipment was imported at the SICAD rate during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the official rate of 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar continued to be reserved only for the settlement of U.S. dollar denominated obligations related to purchases of "essential goods and services". In addition, we did not repatriate any amounts at the official rate or through the SICAD mechanism but we were able to repatriate an insignificant amount of Venezuelan bolivars through the SIMADI mechanism during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded $39 million in "General and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the change in the SICAD exchange rate to 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2015 from 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar as of March 31, 2015.

        Our Venezuelan subsidiary had Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $595 million, including cash of $629 million, as of June 30, 2015, based on the SICAD exchange rate of 12.8 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar, as compared to Venezuelan bolivar denominated net monetary assets of $481 million, including cash of $481 million, as of December 31, 2014, based on the SICAD exchange rate of 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar. In addition, our Venezuelan

subsidiary had $575 million of net property, equipment and intangible assets as of June 30, 2015 as compared to $574 million at December 31, 2014. In the second quarter of 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary generated revenues of approximately $250 million and operating profit before depreciation and amortization of approximately $80 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary generated revenues of approximately $500 million and operating profit before depreciation and amortization of approximately $180 million, excluding the impact of the $39 million exchange rate losses recorded in "General and administrative expenses" as a result of the change in the SICAD exchange rate.

        The exchange rate used to report net monetary assets and operating results of our Venezuelan subsidiary is currently based on the results of periodic SICAD auctions, which are expected to result in fluctuations in reported amounts that could be material to the results of operations in Venezuela in future periods and could materially affect the comparability of results for our Venezuelan subsidiary between periods. Significant uncertainties exist regarding the exchange mechanisms in Venezuela including the nature of transactions that are eligible for repatriation though the official process, SICAD or SIMADI, or any other new exchange mechanism that may emerge, how such mechanisms will operate in the future, as well as the volume of U.S. dollars available under each mechanism. Changes in exchange mechanisms and rates will impact the comparability of our results of operations and financial position, and would likely result in significant future devaluations or impairments of tangible and intangible assets.

        Other.    Several factors may affect our ability to fund our operations and commitments that we discuss in "Contractual Obligations" and "Contingencies" below. In addition, our future cash flows may be reduced if we experience, among other things, significantly higher subscriber additions than planned, increased subscriber churn or upgrade and retention costs, higher than planned capital expenditures for satellites and broadcast equipment, satellite anomalies or signal theft. Additionally, DIRECTV U.S.' ability to borrow under the revolving credit facilities is contingent upon DIRECTV U.S. meeting financial and other covenants associated with its facilities as more fully described above.

Dividend Policy

        The Merger Agreement precluded the Company from paying a dividend so long as the Merger Agreement was in effect.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

        The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2015, including the future periods in which payments are expected. Additional details regarding these obligations are provided in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 referenced in the table below and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014. The contractual obligations below do not include payments that could be made related to our net unrecognized tax benefits liability, which amounted to $548 million as of June 30, 2015. The timing and amount of any future payments is not reasonably estimable, as such

(a)
Long-term debt obligations include interest calculated based on the rates in effect at June 30, 2015, however, the obligations do not reflect potential prepayments required under indentures.

(b)
Purchase obligations consist primarily of broadcast programming commitments, regional professional team rights agreements, service contract commitments and satellite construction and launch contracts. Broadcast programming commitments include guaranteed minimum contractual commitments that are typically based on a flat fee or a minimum number of required subscribers subscribing to the related programming. Actual payments may exceed the minimum payment requirements if the actual number of subscribers subscribing to the related programming exceeds the minimum amounts. Service contract commitments include minimum commitments for the purchase of services that have been outsourced to third parties, such as billing services, telemetry, tracking and control services and broadcast center services. In most cases, actual payments, which are typically based on volume, usually exceed these minimum amounts.

(c)
Certain of the operating leases contain variable escalation clauses and renewal or purchase options, which we do not consider in the amounts disclosed.

(d)
Capital lease obligations include prepayments related to a satellite lease contract which we expect to account for as a capital lease upon commencement.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        We carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.

        There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        (a)   Material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we became or were a party during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 or subsequent thereto, but before the filing of the report, are summarized below:

        NFL Sunday Ticket Litigation.    DIRECTV has been served with three putative class actions filed in the U.S; District Court for the Central District of California against DIRECTV and the NFL alleging among other things that the agreement among the defendants for DIRECTV's exclusive distribution of NFL Sunday Ticket violates Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and that plaintiffs have been overcharged for the televised presentation of out-of-market NFL games. The complaint in Abrahamian v. National Football League, Inc., et al., was served in June 2015, the complaint in Ninth Inning Inc. v. National Football League, Inc., et al. was served in July 2015 and the complaint in Rookie Sports Café, L.L.C., et al., was served in August 2015. The complaints seek injunctions, unspecified treble damages and attorneys' fees. We are confident that our agreement with the NFL does not violate the Sherman Act and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

        Major League Baseball Litigation.    A class was certified by Judge Shira Scheindlin in the case Lerner et al. v. Office of the Commissioner of Baseball et al. filed in May 2015 in federal court for the Southern District of New York. Judge Scheindlin ruled that the plaintiffs were entitled to seek an injunction on behalf of a class of subscribers who had purchased MLB Extra Innings from DIRECTV, Comcast and MLB, to prevent MLB from enforcing league rules that grant member teams exclusive home team territories. The Judge also ruled that the plaintiffs were not entitled to seek damages on behalf of the class. A trial is expected in the fall of 2015. The defendants intend to defend the case and pursue appeals to reverse the numerous errors of law that formed the bases of the trial court's orders.

        Intellectual Property Litigation.    We are a defendant in several unrelated lawsuits claiming infringement of various patents relating to various aspects of our businesses. In certain of these cases other industry participants are also defendants, and also in certain of these cases we expect that any potential liability would be the responsibility of our equipment vendors pursuant to applicable contractual indemnification provisions. Further, in certain of these cases, suppliers of equipment to DIRECTV are also defendants, and DIRECTV has contractual obligations to indemnify and hold harmless those suppliers in those cases. To the extent that the allegations in these lawsuits can be analyzed by us at this stage of their proceedings, we believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend the actions vigorously. We have determined the likelihood of a material liability in such matters is remote or have made appropriate accruals and the final disposition of these claims is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position. However, if an adverse ruling is made in a lawsuit involving key intellectual property, such ruling could possibly be material to our consolidated results of operations of any one period. No assurance can be given that any adverse outcome would not be material to our consolidated financial position.

        Early Cancellation Fees.    As previously reported, in 2008, a number of plaintiffs filed putative class action lawsuits in state and federal courts challenging the early cancellation fees we assess our customers when they do not fulfill their programming commitments. We have reached a settlement with the individual plaintiffs in the federal cases. In the California state court action, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review the California Court of Appeal's opinion affirming the denial of our motion to compel arbitration. We believe that our early cancellation fees are adequately disclosed, and represent reasonable estimates of the costs we incur when customers cancel service before fulfilling their programming commitments.

DIRECTV

        State and Federal Inquiries.    From time to time, we receive investigative inquiries or subpoenas from state and federal authorities with respect to alleged violations of state and federal statutes. These inquiries may lead to legal proceedings in some cases.

        FTC Litigation.    On March 11, 2015, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, filed a lawsuit against DIRECTV and DIRECTV,  LLC in United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The FTC alleges that DIRECTV failed to disclose adequately in our advertisements certain terms and conditions of our programming package offers. The complaint also alleges that DIRECTV violated applicable law by failing adequately to disclose, and to obtain consumers' express consent to, the terms of negative option offers for premium channels. The complaint seeks a permanent injunction to prevent further violations, as well as relief to redress injury to consumers. We believe we have valid defenses to the FTC's claims and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

        Waste Disposal Inquiry.    In August 2012, DIRECTV U.S. received from the State of California subpoenas and interrogatories related to our generation, handling, record keeping, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste, including universal waste, in the State of California, and the training of employees regarding the same. The investigation is jointly conducted by the Office of the Attorney General and the District Attorney for Alameda County and appears to be part of a broader effort to investigate waste handling and disposal processes of a number of industries. We are continuing to review our policies and procedures applicable to all facilities, cooperating with the investigation and recently began discussions with regulators directed at reaching resolution of this matter.

        Other.    We are subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions is not expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

        The risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014 have not materially changed. See Part I Item 2 of this Quarterly Report related to "forward-looking statements" which we incorporate by reference.

* * *

ITEM 2.    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share Repurchase Program

        Since 2006 our Board of Directors has approved multiple authorizations for the repurchase of our common stock. In February 2014 our Board of Directors approved a new authorization for up to $3.5 billion for repurchases of our common stock. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, we suspended the share repurchase program and agreed to not purchase, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of our capital stock without AT&T's consent, effective May 18, 2014.

        During the three months ended June 30, 2015, there were no share repurchases.
