Iger speaks: Introduces Roy P. Disney in the audience. Expresses concern over what’s going on in Tokyo. Shows a sizzle reel to the audience (not webcast).
Iger continues: Shows appreciation for the all the cast who make the magic happen. As you know, for the past 5 years we’ve focused on 3 priorities: Technology, International and Creative Content. Became first studio to put out 2 films that earned more than $1 billion each in one year – Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story. For the year net income increased 20% on a 5% rise in revenue. Diluted EPS increased 15%. Total return was up nearly 24%. Much more than the S&P 500’s 14%. Enabled them to continue to make substantial investments in new opportunities. A strong start in fiscal 2011 with Tangled. Very excited about what’s next – Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
