VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) 1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION Viacom Inc. ("Viacom" or the "Company") is a diversified entertainment company with operations in seven segments: (i) Cable Networks, (ii) Television, (iii) Infinity, (iv) Entertainment, (v) Video, (vi) Publishing and (vii) Online. On May 4, 2000, CBS Corporation ("CBS") merged with and into the Company and effective from this date, CBS' results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations (See Note 3). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, except for the change in accounting principle, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. Use of Estimates -The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share - Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) attributable to common stock by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS adjusts the basic weighted average common shares outstanding by the assumed conversion of convertible securities and exercise of stock options only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, incremental shares for stock options of 29.2 million were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The table below presents a reconciliation of weighted average shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, -------------------------- --------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 =========================================================================================================== Weighted average shares for basic EPS 1,503.7 696.7 1,133.7 694.5 Incremental shares for stock options & warrants 40.8 12.8 -- 14.1 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average shares for diluted EPS 1,544.5 709.5 1,133.7 708.6 =========================================================================================================== 6
VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Total comprehensive income (loss) for the Company includes net earnings (loss) and other comprehensive income items including unrealized gain (loss) on securities, cumulative translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ---------------------------- ----------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ================================================================================================================= Net earnings (loss) $ 33.4 $ 96.7 $(846.5) $200.9 Other comprehensive income (loss): Unrealized gain (loss) on securities, net of tax (21.3) 2.7 (32.6) 6.3 Cumulative translation adjustments, net of tax (27.1) 7.3 (62.9) 24.1 Minimum pension liability adjustments, net of tax -- -- -- 4.2 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comprehensive income (loss) $(15.0) $106.7 $(942.0) $235.5 ================================================================================================================= Change in Accounting - In June 2000, the Company elected early adoption of Statement of Position 00-2, "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2"). SOP 00-2 established new film accounting standards, including changes in revenue recognition and accounting for advertising, development and overhead costs. Under the new accounting standard, all exploitation costs such as advertising expenses, marketing costs and video duplication costs for theatrical and television product will be expensed as incurred, whereas under the old accounting standards, these costs were capitalized and amortized over the products' lifetime. As a result of this early adoption in the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a one-time, pre-tax non-cash charge of $754 million ($452 million after-tax or $.40 per share). This charge has been reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, effective January 1, 2000, in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Under the SOP 00-2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company reported lower operating results of approximately $41 million. In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement 139 ("SFAS 139") which rescinds FASB Statement 53 on financial reporting by motion picture film producers or distributors. SFAS 139 requires public companies to follow the guidance provided by SOP 00-2. 2) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On November 3, 2000, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Black Entertainment Television ("BET") for approximately $2.3 billion of Viacom Class B Common Stock plus the assumption of approximately $575 million of debt. The tax-free transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals. The final exchange ratio will be based on the trading prices of Viacom Class B Common Stock during a measurement period immediately before the closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2001. On October 30, 2000, the Company and Infinity Broadcasting entered into a merger agreement under which the Company will acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Infinity common stock that it does not currently own, approximately 36%, pursuant to a merger in which Viacom will exchange 0.592 of a share of Viacom Class B Common Stock for each share of Infinity Class A common stock. The Company's Board of Directors and Infinity's Board of Directors approved the merger agreement after approval by a special committee of Infinity's independent directors. The special committee was advised by separate legal and financial advisors. The Company expects the merger to be completed in the first quarter of 2001. As of October 30, 2000, there were 390.8 million shares of Infinity Class A common stock outstanding to shareholders other than the Company. 7
VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) 3) CBS MERGER On May 4, 2000, CBS was merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"). The total purchase price of approximately $39.8 billion included approximately $37.7 billion for the issuance of 825.5 million shares of Viacom non-voting Class B Common Stock and 11,004 shares of Viacom Series C convertible preferred stock, which were subsequently converted into shares of Viacom non-voting Class B Common Stock, and approximately $1.9 billion for the fair value of CBS stock options assumed by Viacom and transaction costs. In addition, Viacom assumed approximately $3.7 billion of CBS debt. The Merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. CBS' results of operations are included in the Company's reported consolidated results of operations from the effective date of acquisition. The total cost to acquire CBS has been preliminarily allocated based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the time of the Merger. The excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets acquired of approximately $50 billion was allocated to intangibles and is being amortized on a straight-line basis not to exceed 40 years. Included in this total are FCC licenses of approximately $9.3 billion. The final allocation of the purchase price will be based on comprehensive final evaluations of the fair value of CBS' tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company presently holds television stations which reach approximately 41% of United States television households (as calculated for this purpose under rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), which apply a 50% discount to the reach of UHF stations). These stations reach approximately 6% in excess of the 35% limit permitted by FCC regulations. In connection with FCC approval of the Merger, the Company was given one year to come into compliance with the limit. The Company was also provided with one year to come into compliance with the FCC's "dual network" rule, which prohibits the Company from owning and controlling both CBS and United Paramount Network ("UPN"). On June 20, 2000, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, in which it proposes to modify the dual network, the effect of which would be to permit the Company to own both CBS and UPN. Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company has entered into agreements relating to the sale of several radio stations, which, if consummated, will result in compliance with FCC requirements. 8
VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) The unaudited condensed pro forma results of operations data presented below assumes the Merger, pre-merger CBS acquisitions, and other acquisitions, including UPN and the pending acquisition of Infinity Broadcasting's Class A common stock, had occurred as of January 1, 1999. The unaudited condensed pro forma results of operations were prepared based upon the historical consolidated results of operations of the Company and CBS prior to the Merger, adjusted to exclude the non-recurring merger-related charges and to reflect the adoption of the change in accounting principle as of January 1, 1999 (see Note 1). Financial results of CBS subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Company's financial statements. The pre-merger CBS acquisitions assumed to have been acquired January 1, 1999 are Infinity Outdoor, King World and two Texas television stations. The aggregate impact of other acquisitions was not material to consolidated results of operations. Pro Forma Results of Operations Data Nine Months Ended September 30, (unaudited) 2000 1999 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $17,353.6 $15,991.9 Net loss before discontinued operations, extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ (197.3) $ (264.3) Net earnings (loss) attributable to common stock $ (647.1) $ 76.2 Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share: Net loss before discontinued operations, extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ (.11) $ (.16) Net earnings (loss) $ (.37) $ .04 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that actually would have occurred had the CBS, UPN, Infinity Outdoor, King World and television station transactions been consummated on January 1, 1999. In addition, these results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from the combined operations. 4) MERGER-RELATED CHARGES In the second quarter of 2000, Viacom recorded non-recurring merger-related charges of $698 million ($505 million after-tax or $.44 per share). These charges include non-cash charges of $415 million principally attributable to compensation for stock options and $283 million of cash payments and accrued liabilities for severance, transaction fees and costs associated with the integration of Viacom and CBS and the acquisition of UPN (see Note 3). As of September 30, 2000, the Company had paid and charged approximately $80 million against the severance liabilities, and $47 million against transaction fees and costs. The Company expects to substantially complete the activities by the end of the year 2000. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $70.3 million primarily associated with the integration of the operations of Spelling Entertainment Group Inc. into Paramount Television, resulting in the elimination of duplicative sales forces and certain other back office functions. Included in this total were severance and employee related costs of $48.1 million, lease termination and other occupancy costs of $17.7 million and other exit costs of $4.5 million. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had paid and charged approximately $37.4 million against the severance liability, $11.7 million against lease termination and other occupancy costs, and $1.4 million against the other exit costs. The Company expects to complete the exit activities by the end of the year 2000. 9
VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) 5) OTHER ACQUISITIONS On September 15, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting completed the acquisition of Memphis radio stations WMC-AM and WMC-FM from Raycom Media for approximately $76 million. On August 24, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation ("Infinity Broadcasting"), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of 18 radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, Inc. for $1.4 billion in an asset transaction. These stations are located in San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Orlando and Greensboro--Winston -Salem. On July 1, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting completed the acquisition of Waterman Broadcasting Corporation of Texas ("Waterman Broadcasting") in exchange for approximately 2.7 million shares of Infinity Broadcasting Class A common stock valued at approximately $88 million. Waterman Broadcasting owns radio stations KTSA-AM and KTFM-FM in San Antonio, Texas. During June 2000, Infinity Broadcasting completed its acquisitions of two international outdoor advertising businesses for approximately $490 million. On March 31, 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in UPN that it did not already own for $5 million and recorded approximately $76 million of goodwill. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company consolidated UPN's results of operations. Prior to this acquisition, the Company reported its proportionate share of net losses of UPN in "Equity in loss of affiliated companies, net of tax" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 6) INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COMPANIES The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated companies over which it has significant influence or ownership of 20% or more but less than or equal to 50% under the equity method. Such equity investments include several Internet- based companies. At September 30, 2000, the Company's total investment in affiliated companies was $851.7 million, of which $330.6 million represented the Internet-based companies, and is reflected in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following summarized unaudited financial information reflects the Internet equity investees' results of operations (results are on a one quarter lag). Results of Operations Data (unaudited) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, --------------------------- ---------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $ 35.1 $ 13.5 $ 87.1 $ 33.2 Gross profit 15.0 7.2 32.5 15.6 Operating loss (122.1) (37.0) (359.1) (73.1) Net loss (123.3) (36.7) (357.2) (72.1) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the date of acquisition, for equity investments in Internet-based companies, the Company typically records the investment at an amount equal to the cash consideration paid plus the fair value of the advertising and promotion time to be provided. The associated obligation to provide future advertising and promotion time is non-cash and is recorded as deferred revenue at an amount equal to the fair value of the advertising and promotion time to be provided. Any related deferred revenue balance is presented as a liability in the 10
VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred revenue is relieved and barter revenue is recognized as the related advertising and promotion time is delivered. Barter revenue of $23.0 million and $44.4 million has been recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. For equity investments, a difference typically exists between the initial investment and the proportionate share in the underlying net assets of these companies. This difference is being amortized over a five-year period and as of September 30, 2000 the unamortized difference is $304 million. The amortization expense of the Company's initial basis is presented as "Equity in loss of affiliated companies, net of tax" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2000, the Company's equity investments included three publicly traded Internet-based companies: Hollywood.com, Inc., MarketWatch.com, Inc. and Switchboard, Inc.

On March 28, 2000, the Viacom Credit Agreements were amended to allow for the merger of CBS with and into the Company. On April 17, 2000, the CBS credit agreement, which consists of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing August 29, 2001 and the existing Infinity credit agreement, which consists of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing August 29, 2001, were amended to allow for the merger of CBS with and into the Company. Borrowing rates under the CBS and Infinity facilities are determined at the time of each borrowing and are based generally on a floating rate index, the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a margin based on the respective senior unsecured debt rating. On May 3, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting entered into two new credit facilities, totaling $1.95 billion, comprised of a $1.45 billion 5-year revolving credit and a $500 million 364-day revolving credit. Borrowing rates under the facilities are determined at the time of each borrowing and are based generally on LIBOR plus a margin based on Infinity Broadcasting's senior unsecured debt rating. The CBS and Infinity Broadcasting facilities contain certain covenants which, among other things, require that CBS and Infinity Broadcasting maintain certain financial ratios and impose on CBS and Infinity Broadcasting and their subsidiaries certain limitations on substantial asset sales and mergers with any other company in which CBS and Infinity Broadcasting are not the surviving entities. The Company has a $4.0 billion commercial paper program. Borrowings under the program have maturities of less than a year and are supported by unused committed bank facilities. At September 30, 2000, the Company had borrowings under the program of approximately $1 billion. On July 20, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting initiated a $3.25 billion commercial paper program. Borrowings under Infinity's commercial paper program are short- term in nature and have been and will be used primarily to finance acquisitions or refinance existing debt. At September 30, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting had borrowings under the commerical paper program of approximately $2.5 billion. On August 1, 2000, the Company issued $1.15 billion of 7.70% unsecured senior notes due July 30, 2010 and $500 million of 7.875% unsecured senior debentures due July 30, 2030; interest on the senior notes and debentures will be payable semi-annually. Proceeds from the debt issuance were used to repay bank debt, including commercial paper. The senior notes and debentures are redeemable at any time at their principal amount plus the applicable premium and accrued interest. 13
VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) 10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company relating to its ongoing and discontinued operations. Some of these lawsuits and claims, including those related to asbestos liabilities, seek substantial monetary damages. Management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from those actions or claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits claiming various asbestos- related personal injuries, which allegedly occurred from use or inclusions of asbestos in certain products supplied by previously divested industrial businesses, generally in the pre-1970 time period. Typically, these lawsuits are brought against multiple defendants. The Company was neither a manufacturer nor a producer of asbestos. At September 30, 2000 the Company had approximately 140,872 unresolved claims pending. The Company has brought suit against certain of its insurance carriers with respect to these asbestos claims. Under the terms of a settlement agreement resulting from this suit, carriers that have agreed to the settlement are now reimbursing the Company for a substantial portion of its current costs and settlement associated with asbestos claims. The Company has recorded a liability (in Other Liabilities) reflecting its best estimate of its asbestos liability exposure. The Company has also separately recorded an asset reflected in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet equal to the amount of such estimated liability that will be recovered pursuant to agreements with insurance carriers. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates from time to time receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and other entities asserting that they are or may be liable for environmental cleanup costs and related damages, principally relating to discontinued operations conducted by its former mining and industrial businesses (acquired as part of the Company's mergers). The Company's liabilities reflect management's best estimate of its environmental exposure. Such liability was not discounted or reduced by potential insurance recoveries and reflects management's estimate of cost sharing at multiparty sites. The estimated liability was calculated based upon currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations. On the basis of its experience and the information currently available to it, the Company believes that the claims it has received will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The commitments of the Company for program license fees, estimated to aggregate approximately $15.2 billion, are not reflected in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2000. These commitments include approximately $10.9 billion for the acquisition of sports programming rights. A majority of such fees are payable over several years, as part of normal programming expenditures. 11) PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes represents federal, state and foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. The estimated annual effective tax rates of 76.7% for 2000 excluding the 2000 merger-related charges of $698 million, and 51.6% for 1999 were adversely affected by amortization of intangibles in excess of the amounts deductible for tax purposes. The post merger 2000 estimated annual effective tax rate of 81% has been adversely affected by additional nondeductible amortization. Excluding the non-deductible amortization of intangibles, the estimated annual effective tax rates would have been 38.8% for 2000 and 35.9% for 1999. 14
VIACOM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts) 12) OPERATING SEGMENTS The following tables set forth the Company's financial performance by reportable operating segment. As a result of the merger with CBS, the segment information reflects a new organizational structure. Prior period information for Viacom has been reclassified to conform to the new structure. Intersegment sales are recorded at fair market value as if the sales were to third parties and are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment sales were not material for the periods presented. Residual costs of discontinued businesses primarily include pension and postretirement benefit costs for benefit plans retained by CBS for previously divested industrial businesses. The Company evaluates performance based on many factors; one of the primary measures is EBITDA, defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that EBITDA is an appropriate measure of evaluating the operating performance of its segments. However, EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, net earnings, cash flows, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). As EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. The third quarter of 2000 represents the first full quarter of combined results of operations of the Company with CBS, as the merger was completed in May of 2000. Other significant transactions, which occurred in the second quarter of 2000, and affect the comparability of historical results, are listed below: . The Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in UPN that it did not already own. . The Company recorded one-time merger-related pre-tax charges of $698 million associated with the CBS and UPN acquisitions. . The Company elected early adoption of the new accounting standard for accounting for motion pictures, resulting in a one-time, pre-tax non-cash charge of $754 million. In order to enhance comparability, the following discussion of the Company's results of operations is supplemented by pro forma financial information that gives effect to the CBS merger and other acquisitions (including significant acquisitions made by CBS prior to the completion of the merger) as if they had occurred at the beginning of each period presented, excludes non-recurring items and reflects the adoption of the change in accounting as of January 1, 1999. The pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transactions actually occurred at the beginning of 1999, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results. The table below presents the Company's total revenues and total operating income, as reported and on a pro forma basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively: Three Months ended Percent Nine Months ended Percent September 30, B/(W) September 30, B/(W) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total Revenues: As Reported $5,962.0 $3,332.0 79% $13,900.3 $ 9,286.4 50% Pro Forma $5,971.6 $5,580.9 7% $17,353.6 $15,991.9 9% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Operating Income: As Reported $ 759.9 $ 321.2 137% $ 722.1 $ 881.0 (18%) Pro Forma $ 761.2 $ 521.7 46% $ 1,565.7 $ 1,102.4 42% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25
EBITDA - ------ EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not reflect the effect of significant amounts of amortization of goodwill related to business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. While many in the financial community consider EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, net earnings, cash flow and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). As EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Pro forma EBITDA gives effect to the CBS merger and other acquisitions (including significant acquisitions made by CBS prior to the completion of the merger) as if they had occurred at the beginning of each period presented, excludes non-recurring items and reflects the adoption of the change in accounting as of January 1, 1999. Three Months ended Percent Nine Months ended Percent September 30, B/(W) September 30, B/(W) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total EBITDA: As Reported $1,440.2 $ 539.9 167% $2,182.6 $1,496.8 46% Pro Forma $1,445.1 $1,183.1 22% $3,654.9 $3,089.4 18% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations - --------------------- On a reported basis, revenues increased 79% to $6.0 billion and 50% to $13.9 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, from $3.3 billion and $9.3 billion for the same prior-year periods. Reported operating results for the third quarter and nine months are not comparable with prior-year periods due to the CBS merger, merger-related charges and other non- recurring items. On a pro forma basis, revenues increased 7% to $6.0 billion and 9% to $17.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, from $5.6 billion and $16.0 billion for the same prior-year periods. Revenue increases were driven by third quarter double digit advertising sales increases at Infinity, Cable Networks and Television segments. The Video segment also contributed to the revenue increases with the increase in the number of company- operated stores. EBITDA, on a pro forma basis, increased 22% to $1.4 billion and 18% to $3.7 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, from $1.2 billion and $3.1 billion for the same prior-year periods. EBITDA growth outpaced revenue growth for both periods presented primarily due to increased margins on the additional revenues. 26
Segment Results of Operations - ----------------------------- Cable Networks (MTV Networks ("MTVN") including MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, TV Land, TNN and CMT; and Showtime Networks, Inc.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, MTVN revenues of $2.0 billion, EBITDA of $888.5 million and operating income of $741.1 million increased 30%, 45% and 37%, respectively, over the same nine-month period last year. For the third quarter of 2000, MTVN pro forma revenues of $739.9 million increased 13% as compared with $652.3 million of pro forma revenues for the third quarter of 1999 and pro forma EBITDA of $375.1 million increased 24% as compared with pro forma EBITDA of $302.3 million for the prior-year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, MTVN pro forma revenues of $2.1 billion and pro forma EBITDA of $951.3 million increased 16% and 23%, respectively, over the same prior-year period pro forma revenues of $1.8 billion and EBITDA of $772.9 million. The increase in MTVN's pro forma revenues principally reflects higher worldwide advertising revenues of 11% and 18% and higher affiliate fees of 20% and 15%, for the third quarter and nine months, respectively. Advertising revenue gains were primarily driven by rate increases at MTV, VH1 and TV Land. MTVN's EBITDA and operating income gains were driven by the increased revenues. Pro forma results assume the acquisition of the CBS Cable Networks, TNN and CMT, had occurred on January 1, 1999. The third quarter and nine-month period pro forma results include benefits of $11 million and $16 million, respectively, attributable to purchase accounting for TNN and CMT. SNI's revenues increased 15%, and EBITDA and operating income each increased 22% for the quarter and increased 10%, 21% and 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, over the same prior-year periods. The revenue increases were principally due to an increase of approximately 3.2 million subscriptions, up 14% over the prior-year to 25.5 million subscriptions at September 30, 2000. Operating results reflect revenue increases attributable to the continued growth of direct broadcast satellite and cable and the timing of programming expenses. 27
Television (CBS and UPN Television Networks and Stations; Television Production and Syndication) Three Months Ended Percent Nine Months Ended Percent September 30, B/(W) September 30, B/(W) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Reported: Revenues $1,848.2 $ 603.2 206% $3,654.7 $1,682.9 117% Operating income $ 191.1 $ (14.1) NM $ 311.5 $ 87.1 258 EBITDA $ 369.2 $ 26.3 NM $ 669.5 $ 185.4 261 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro Forma: Revenues $1,848.2 $1,792.5 3% $5,690.1 $5,425.6 5% Operating income $ 191.1 $ 78.4 144 $ 463.3 $ 111.3 316 EBITDA $ 369.2 $ 266.3 39 $1,025.6 $ 682.1 50 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NM - not meaningful For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, Television pro forma revenues, EBITDA and operating income increased over the same prior-year periods principally reflecting strong national and local advertising sales gains. Television's third quarter revenues were led by double digit advertising sales increases, which more than offset the absence of significantly higher revenues from the initial syndication of off-network programs received in the same quarter last year and the delay of the start of the Fall television season to the fourth quarter of 2000. The Television segment's results were led by the CBS Network and television stations' strong EBITDA growth, which was driven by improved primetime performance and strong advertising pricing in local owned and operated TV markets. Paramount Television revenues for the three- and nine-month periods were higher for continuing network and first run syndication shows including Entertainment Tonight, Judge Judy, Charmed and Judge Joe Brown. Network program revenues for 2000 included the first time syndication availability of Sabrina: The Teenage Witch and Moesha; however, these contributions did not compare favorably with the prior year which included the last seasons of Melrose Place and Sunset Beach and the first time syndication availability of JAG and Star Trek: Voyager. Pro forma results assume that the CBS merger and the acquisitions of King World, two Texas television stations and the remaining 50% interest of United Paramount Network ("UPN") had occurred at the beginning of each period presented, exclude the third quarter 1999 Spelling restructuring charge and other non-recurring charges and reflect the adoption of the change in accounting as of January 1, 1999. The Television segment's third quarter and nine month pro forma results for 2000 include a benefit of $35 million and $65 million, respectively, attributable to purchase accounting which was partially offset by a reduction attributable to the change in accounting described below. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company elected early adoption of the AICPA's Statement of Position "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2") which is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. SOP 00-2 established new film accounting standards, including changes in revenue recognition and accounting for advertising, development and overhead costs. As a result of the early adoption, Television recorded a pre-tax charge of $330 million, primarily related to Spelling Entertainment for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The cumulative effect of the accounting change is not included in the EBITDA and operating income above. 28

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, pro forma revenues, EBITDA and operating income increased 16%, 23% and 77%, respectively. Third quarter and nine month pro forma results were driven by advertising revenue growth at both Infinity's radio stations and outdoor advertising businesses. Pro forma results assume the acquisition of Infinity Broadcasting, as part of the CBS merger, and Infinity Broadcasting's December 1999 acquisition of Infinity Outdoor, formerly known as Outdoor Systems, Inc., and all 2000 acquisitions by Infinity, occurred on January 1, 1999. During the third quarter of 2000, Infinity completed acquisitions of 22 radio stations in nine major markets, including San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Orlando, Greensboro--Winston-Salem, Riverside and Memphis, for $1.5 billion. The Company owns approximately 64% of Infinity Broadcasting.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, Entertainment revenues increased 2% to $791.7 million and 5% to $2.1 billion, respectively, compared with the same prior-year periods. Revenues for the three months principally reflect higher Features and Parks revenues partially offset by lower Theaters revenues; while revenues for the nine months principally reflect higher Features and Theaters revenues. Higher Features revenues were led by higher foreign theatrical revenues for the three-and nine-month periods primarily due to the success of Mission: Impossible 2 and Double Jeopardy. Domestic theatrical revenues for the three-and nine-month periods included contributions from Bless The Child and The Original Kings of Comedy, while the nine-month period also included contributions from Mission: Impossible 2, Rules of Engagement, Shaft, and Snow Day. Home video revenues for the three- and nine-month periods were lower than the comparable prior-year periods as the prior year included contributions from Saving Private Ryan and The Rugrats Movie. Features' network revenues for the three-and nine-month periods were higher due to the network availability of Titanic. Theaters' revenues for the third quarter were lower principally due to lower attendance compared to the same prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, theater revenues were higher primarily as a result of additional new multiplex theaters opened since the end of the same prior-year period. Parks' revenues for the third quarter were higher due to increased per capita spending partially offset by lower attendance, while revenues for the nine-month period were lower due to attendance declines from less favorable weather conditions throughout the season. Entertainment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 also included the recognition of a pay television license for library products and the renewal of a film processing agreement. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, Entertainment's EBITDA and operating income increased 28% and 33%, respectively, while for the nine months, EBITDA increased 4% and operating income decreased 1%, respectively, over the comparable prior-year periods. EBITDA and operating income for the third quarter and nine months principally reflect the higher Features revenue items noted above and lower Theater results and, for the third quarter of 2000, lower distribution costs, principally due to differences in the timing of distribution expenses under the change in accounting for motion pictures. Theaters' EBITDA and operating income for the three- and nine-month periods were lower due to the impact of lower third quarter attendance compared to the same prior-year period, and higher year-to-date operating costs and costs associated with opening additional multiplexes in 2000. Parks' EBITDA and operating income for the three-and nine-month periods were higher than the same prior-year periods due to lower operating expenses. As a result of the early adoption of SOP 00-2, feature films recorded a pre-tax charge of $423.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The cumulative effect of the accounting change is not included in the EBITDA and operating income above. Video (Blockbuster) Three Months Ended Percent Nine Months Ended Percent September 30, B/(W) September 30, B/(W) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $1,193.8 $1,112.8 7% $3,619.3 $3,267.5 11% Operating Income $ 17.7 $ 29.9 (41) $ 69.4 $ 87.7 (21) EBITDA $ 119.1 $ 129.9 (8) $ 382.6 $ 379.5 1 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Video segment is comprised of Blockbuster's operations, operating in the home video, DVD and video game rental and retailing business through traditional stores and the Internet. Video revenues increased 7% for the quarter and 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 driven by the increase in the number of Company-operated stores in operation in 2000 over the prior-year period. Worldwide same store sales, which include retail and rental product, increased 1.5% for the quarter and 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. For the third quarter, international same store revenues increased 11% while domestic same store revenues decreased 1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, international same store revenues increased 12% and domestic same store revenues increased 4% over the comparable prior-year period. Both current year periods also benefited from an increase in the average domestic rental fee. 30
Operating results for 2000 were impacted by Blockbuster's investment in its online operations, which began operations in the fourth quarter of 1999 and resulted in reductions to EBITDA and operating income of $13.0 million and $15.8 million, respectively, for the third quarter and $37.3 million and $45.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Excluding the amounts attributable to its online operations, Video's EBITDA and operating income increased 1% and 7%, respectively, for the third quarter and 10% and 29%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with the corresponding prior-year periods. Video's gross margin percentage decreased to 60.5% for the third quarter of 2000 from 61.2% for the third quarter of 1999 principally due to a shift in rental revenue mix from higher margin non-revenue sharing videos to DVDs and an increase in revenues generated through revenue- sharing arrangements as a percentage of total revenues, as revenue-sharing arrangements on average have lower gross margins than do traditional buying arrangements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, Video's gross margin decreased to 59.4% from 61.1% for the comparable prior-year period. Blockbuster is continually evaluating its product mix to try to optimize its stores' revenues and gross profit. With the anticipated accelerated consumer acceptance of DVD and other forms of home entertainment, Blockbuster may increase its stores' depth of DVDs and other home entertainment products. This may result in a transition in the composition of its stores' inventory to allow for more DVDs, or other forms of home entertainment, depending on the speed of adoption by consumers. Blockbuster Video ended the third quarter of 2000 with 7,519 company-operated and franchised stores, a net increase of 659 stores over the third quarter of 1999. Publishing (Simon & Schuster) Three Months Ended Percent Nine Months Ended Percent September 30, B/(W) September 30, B/(W) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $167.0 $162.2 3% $413.0 $430.7 (4)% Operating Income $ 22.2 $ 16.8 32 $ 18.4 $ 30.5 (40) EBITDA $ 27.6 $ 22.0 25 $ 34.4 $ 44.6 (23) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Publishing segment is comprised of Simon & Schuster, which includes imprints such as Pocket Books, Scribner and The Free Press. For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, improved revenues, EBITDA and operating income were led by higher sales at the Pocket Books and Children's divisions, increased license fees and lower product costs. The nine-month results were lower than the comparable prior-year period principally due to decreased year-to-date sales in both the Pocket Books and Trade divisions. Publishing's best-selling titles in the third quarter included Nothing Like It in the World by Stephen E. Ambrose, Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King and High Tide by Jude Deveraux. Online (The MTVi Group, Nickelodeon Online, CBS.com, iWon.com) Three Months Ended Percent Nine Months Ended Percent September 30, B/(W) September 30, B/(W) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Reported: Revenues $ 28.1 $ 6.6 NM $ 63.9 $ 16.5 287% Operating income $(69.7) $(16.2) NM $(191.1) $(23.2) NM EBITDA $(53.1) $(15.5) (243) $(143.6) $(22.5) NM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma: Revenues $ 28.1 $ 9.6 193% $ 76.4 $ 23.3 228% Operating income $(69.7) $(17.0) (310) $(244.0) $(25.6) NM EBITDA $(53.1) $(16.1) (230) $(192.9) $(24.6) NM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NM - Not meaningful The Company operates Internet sites that provide online music and offer a broad range of information, entertainment, news and promotional content. 31
For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the increase in Online revenues, as reported and pro forma, reflect increased license fees and higher advertising revenues. Operating losses, as reported and pro forma, were driven by increased sales and marketing expenses for iWon.com (a 37% owned, majority controlled consolidated subsidiary) which was launched in the fourth quarter of 1999 and increased spending at MTVi. Pro forma results assume the CBS merger had occurred at the beginning of each period presented. Other Income and Expense Information - ------------------------------------ Corporate Expenses/Eliminations Included in the reported Corporate Expenses/Eliminations of $62.6 million for the third quarter of 2000 are intersegment profit eliminations of $16.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as reported Corporate Expenses/Eliminations were $868.6 million, of which $88.8 million represents intersegment profit eliminations and $650 million represents merger-related charges. Pro forma corporate expenses, excluding intersegment profit eliminations and the merger-related charges, were $46.2 million and $148.7 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with $60.3 million and $162.8 million for the comparable prior-year periods. Interest Expense For the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, interest expense increased 107% to $245.0 million and 71% to $560.9 million, respectively. The Company had approximately $12.9 billion and $6.3 billion principal amount of debt outstanding (including current maturities) as of September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 7.7% and 7.1%, respectively. Interest Income For the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, interest income increased to $13.3 million and $36.7 million, respectively, from $7.8 million and $16.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999. Other Items, Net For the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, "Other items, net" was $.5 million and a loss of $14.5 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $2.4 million and income of $2.9 million for the comparable prior-year periods. The year-to-date decrease principally reflects losses associated with the sale of fixed assets and investments. Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes represents federal, state and foreign income taxes on earnings before income taxes. The estimated annual effective tax rates of 76.7% for 2000, excluding the 2000 merger-related charges of $698 million, and 51.6% for 1999 were adversely affected by amortization of intangibles in excess of the amounts deductible for tax purposes. The post merger 2000 estimated annual effective tax rate of 81% has been adversely affected by additional nondeductible amortization. Excluding the non-deductible amortization of intangibles, the estimated annual effective tax rates would have been 38.8% for 2000 and 35.9% for 1999. 32
Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies, Net of Tax "Equity in loss of affiliated companies, net of tax" was $44.0 million and $71.4 million for the third quarter of 2000 and the nine months then ended, respectively, as compared to losses of $3.8 million and $38.1 million in the comparable prior-year periods, principally reflecting increased losses of CBS online equity ventures and cable international ventures, partially offset by the improved performance of Comedy Central. Minority Interest Minority interest primarily represents the minority ownership of Infinity Broadcasting and Blockbuster common stock. Extraordinary Loss For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recognized after-tax extraordinary losses on the early extinguishment of debt of $14.2 million and $37.7 million, respectively, or a loss of $.02 and $.06 per basic common share, respectively. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded a one-time, after-tax non-cash charge of $452.3 million, or $.40 per basic and diluted share, resulting from the early adoption of the new accounting standard for accounting for motion pictures. Net Earnings (Loss) For the reasons described above, the Company reported net earnings of $33.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with $96.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and a net loss of $846.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with net earnings of $188.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Acquisitions On November 3, 2000, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Black Entertainment Television ("BET") for approximately $2.3 billion of Viacom Class B Common Stock plus the assumption of approximately $575 million of debt. The tax-free transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals. The final exchange ratio will be based on the trading prices of Viacom Class B Common Stock during a measurement period immediately before the closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2001. On October 30, 2000, the Company and Infinity Broadcasting entered into a merger agreement under which the Company will acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Infinity common stock that it does not currently own, approximately 36%, pursuant to a merger in which Viacom will exchange 0.592 of a share of Viacom Class B Common Stock for each share of Infinity Class A common stock. The Company's Board of Directors and Infinity's Board of Directors approved the merger agreement after approval by a special committee of Infinity's independent directors. The special committee was advised by separate legal and financial advisors. The Company expects the merger to be completed in the first quarter of 2001. As of October 30, 2000, there were 390.8 million shares of Infinity Class A common stock outstanding to shareholders other than the Company. On May 4, 2000, CBS was merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"). The total purchase price of approximately $39.8 billion included approximately $37.7 billion for the issuance of 825.5 million shares of Viacom non-voting Class B Common Stock and 11,004 shares of Viacom Series C convertible preferred stock, which were subsequently converted into shares of Viacom non-voting Class B common stock, and approximately $1.9 billion for the fair value of CBS stock options assumed by Viacom and transaction costs. In addition, Viacom assumed approximately $3.7 billion of CBS debt. The Company presently holds television stations which reach approximately 41% of United States television households (as calculated for this purpose under rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), which apply a 50% discount to the reach of UHF stations). These stations reach approximately 6% in excess of the 35% limit permitted by FCC regulations. In 33
connection with FCC approval of the Merger, the Company was given one year to come into compliance with the limit. The Company was also provided with one year to come into compliance with the FCC's "dual network" rule, which prohibits the Company from owning and controlling both CBS and United Paramount Network ("UPN"). On June 20, 2000, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, in which it proposes to modify the dual network, the effect of which would be to permit the Company to own both CBS and UPN. Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company has entered into agreements relating to the sale of several radio stations, which, if consummated, will result in compliance with FCC requirements. On September 15, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting completed the acquisition of Memphis radio stations WMC-AM and WMC-FM from Raycom Media for approximately $76 million. On August 24, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting completed the acquisition of 18 radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, Inc. for $1.4 billion in an asset transaction. These stations are located in San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Orlando and Greensboro-Winston-Salem. During June 2000, Infinity Broadcasting completed its acquisitions of two international outdoor advertising businesses for approximately $490 million. On July 1, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting completed the acquisition of Waterman Broadcasting Corporation of Texas ("Waterman Broadcasting") in exchange for approximately 2.7 million shares of Infinity Broadcasting Class A common stock valued at approximately $88 million. Waterman Broadcasting owns radio stations KTSA-AM and KTFM-FM in San Antonio, Texas. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company expects to fund its anticipated cash requirements (including the anticipated cash requirements for its capital expenditures, share repurchase programs, joint ventures, commitments and payments of principal and interest on its outstanding indebtedness) with internally generated funds, in addition to various external sources of funds. The external sources of funds may include the Company's existing credit agreements and amendments thereto, co-financing arrangements by the Company's various divisions relating to the production of entertainment products, and/or additional financings. The Company has certain restrictions on Infinity Broadcasting's cash balance of $143.8 million, reflected in the Company's consolidated cash amount of $992.7 million at September 30, 2000. Infinity Broadcasting's cash will become available to Viacom upon the merger of Infinity with Viacom. Share Repurchase Programs During the first nine months of 2000, the Company repurchased 10,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock and 27.5 million shares of its Class B Common Stock under its stock repurchase programs for approximately $1.6 billion in the aggregate. Third quarter 2000 repurchases included in this total amounted to $340.6 million. As of October 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $270.5 million remaining under the program announced on May 25. Commitments and Contingencies There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company relating to its ongoing and discontinued operations. Some of these lawsuits and claims, including those related to asbestos liabilities, seek substantial monetary damages. Management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from those actions or claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. 34
The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits claiming various asbestos- related personal injuries, which allegedly occurred from use or inclusions of asbestos in certain products supplied by previously divested industrial businesses, generally in the pre-1970 time period. Typically, these lawsuits are brought against multiple defendants. The Company was neither a manufacturer nor a producer of asbestos. At September 30, 2000, the Company had approximately 140,872 unresolved claims pending. The Company has brought suit against certain of its insurance carriers with respect to these asbestos claims. Under the terms of a settlement agreement resulting from this suit, carriers that have agreed to the settlement are now reimbursing the Company for a substantial portion of its current costs and settlements associated with asbestos claims. The Company has recorded a liability (in Other Liabilities) reflecting its best estimate of its asbestos liability exposure. The Company has also separately recorded an asset reflected in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet equal to the amount of such estimated liability that will be recovered pursuant to agreements with insurance carriers. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates from time to time receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and other entities asserting that they are or may be liable for environmental cleanup costs and related damages, principally relating to discontinued operations conducted by its former mining and industrial businesses (acquired as part of the Company's mergers). The Company's liabilities reflect management's best estimate of its environmental exposure. Such liability was not discounted or reduced by potential insurance recoveries and reflects management's estimate of cost sharing at multiparty sites. The estimated liability was calculated based upon currently available facts, existing technology and presently enacted laws and regulations. On the basis of its experience and the information currently available to it, the Company believes that the claims it has received will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The commitments of the Company for program license fees, estimated to aggregate approximately $15.2 billion, are not reflected in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2000. These commitments include approximately $10.9 billion for the acquisition of sports programming rights. A majority of such fees are payable over several years, as part of normal programming expenditures. Cash Flows Net cash flow from operating activities of $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 principally reflects the impact of the merger and, excluding non-cash items, the improved operating results of the Company's businesses, partially offset by the payment of accrued liabilities. Net cash flow from operating activities of negative $288.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 principally reflects the tax payment related to the sale of Non-Consumer Publishing as well as the investment in program development for the Entertainment and Networks segments. Net cash expenditures for investing activities of $2.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 principally reflect capital expenditures of $422.1 million and acquisitions of $1.9 billion. Net cash expenditures for investing activities of $856.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 principally reflects capital expenditures and the Spelling acquisition as well as acquisitions of video stores and television stations. Financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 principally reflect borrowings from banks and proceeds from the issuance of $1.6 billion of senior notes and debentures partially offset by the purchase of treasury stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, financing activities principally reflect borrowings and the settlement of 8% Merger Debentures, as well as the repurchase of the Company's common stock, warrants and convertible preferred stock. Financial Position Current assets increased to $7.5 billion as of September 30, 2000 from $5.2 billion as of December 31, 1999, due to the addition of approximately $3.5 billion in current assets resulting from the Merger, partially offset by a reduction in inventory reflecting the impact of the adoption of SOP 00-2. The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of receivables increased to 6.9% as of September 30, 2000 from 6.1 % as of December 31, 1999. The change in property and equipment principally reflects 35
the addition of approximately $3.1 billion in fixed assets due to the Merger and capital expenditures of $422.1 million related to capital additions partially offset by depreciation expense of $528.1 million. Intangibles of $61.6 billion at September 30, 2000 increased by $50.1 billion compared to $11.5 billion as of December 31, 1999, pricipally reflecting the Merger and other acquisitions. Other assets increased to $3.2 billion as of September 30, 2000 from $1.6 billion as of December 31, 1999, reflecting the addition of approximately $1.7 billion from the Merger. Current liabilities increased $2.7 billion to $7.1 billion as of September 30, 2000 due to the addition of approximately $2.8 billion resulting from the Merger. Non-current liabilities of $20.2 billion reflect the inclusion of $3.7 billion of debt and $5.8 billion of other liabilities from the Merger. The minority interest balance of $7.0 billion as of September 30, 2000 included $5.7 billion of Infinity's minority interest. Capital Structure - ----------------- The following table sets forth the Company's long-term debt, net of current portion: At September 30, At December 31, 2000 1999 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Long-term debt: Notes payable to banks (including commercial paper) $ 6,046.2 $3,054.2 Senior notes and debentures (5.875% - 9.75%, due 2000-2030) 5,528.4 2,310.9 Senior subordinated notes (8.875% - 10.25%, due 2001-2007) 704.8 35.3 Subordinated exchange debentures (11.375%, due 2009) 45.0 -- Obligations under capital leases 552.5 591.6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total debt 12,876.9 5,992.0 Less current portion 238.0 294.3 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total long-term debt $12,638.9 $5,697.7 ================================================================================================================== The notes and debentures are presented net of an aggregate unamortized discount of $12.9 million as of September 30, 2000 and $10.1 million as of December 31, 1999. Debt, including the current portion, as a percentage of total capitalization of the Company was 21% at September 30, 2000 and 35% at December 31, 1999. As a result of the CBS merger, Viacom assumed approximately $3.7 billion of CBS debt. On March 28, 2000, the Viacom Credit Agreements were amended to allow for the merger of CBS with and into the Company. On April 17, 2000, the CBS credit agreement, which consists of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing August 29, 2001 and the existing Infinity credit agreement, which consists of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing August 29, 2001, were amended to allow for the merger of CBS with and into the Company. Borrowing rates under the CBS and Infinity facilities are determined at the time of each borrowing and are based generally on a floating rate index, the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a margin based on the respective senior unsecured debt rating. 36
On May 3, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting entered into two new credit facilities, totaling $1.95 billion, comprised of a $1.45 billion 5 year revolving credit and a $500 million 364-day revolving credit. Borrowing rates under the facilities are determined at the time of each borrowing and are based generally on LIBOR plus a margin based on Infinity Broadcasting's senior unsecured debt rating. The CBS and Infinity Broadcasting facilities contain certain covenants which, among other things, require that CBS and Infinity Broadcasting maintain certain financial ratios and impose on CBS and Infinity Broadcasting and their subsidiaries certain limitations on substantial asset sales and mergers with any other company in which CBS and Infinity Broadcasting are not the surviving entities. The Company has a $4.0 billion commercial paper program. Borrowings under the program have maturities of less than a year and are supported by unused committed bank facilities. At September 30, 2000, the Company had borrowings under the program of approximately $ 1 billion. On July 20, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting initiated a $3.25 billion commercial paper program. Borrowings under Infinity's commercial paper program are short- term in nature and have been and will be used primarily to finance acquisitions or refinance existing debt. At September 30, 2000, Infinity Broadcasting had borrowings under the commerical paper program of approximately $ 2.5 billion. On August 1, 2000, $1.15 billion of senior notes due July 30, 2010, and $500 million of senior debentures due July 30, 2030 were issued under the Company's shelf registration statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1995, as amended. The Company has no remaining availability under its shelf registration. Proceeds from the debt issuance were used to repay bank debt, including commercial paper. The senior notes and debentures are redeemable at any time at their principal amount plus the applicable premium and accrued interest. The Company intends to file a new shelf registration by year- end 2000. At September 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and had satisfied all financial ratios and tests under the credit agreements. The Company expects to be in compliance and satisfy all such covenants and ratios as may be applicable from time to time during 2000. Market Risk The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. The derivative instruments used are foreign exchange forward contracts, spots and options. The foreign exchange contracts have principally been used to hedge the British Pound, the Australian Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the Canadian Dollar, the Singapore Dollar and the European Union's common currency (the "Euro"). These derivatives, which are over-the-counter instruments, are non-leveraged. Realized gains and losses on contracts that hedge anticipated future cash flows are recognized in "other items, net" and were not material in the periods presented. The Company is primarily vulnerable to changes in LIBOR which is the rate currently used in existing agreements; however, the Company does not believe this exposure to be material. Other Matters - ------------- The Company has announced that it intends to split-off Blockbuster, subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, which will be based on an assessment of market conditions. The Company intends to split-off Blockbuster by offering to exchange all of its shares in Blockbuster for shares of the Company's common stock. However, the Company has previously said that it does not intend to commence the offer unless the Blockbuster Class A common stock improves to a price range significantly above its current value. The Company has no obligation to effect the split-off. The Company has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such a split- off, if effected in accordance with the representations made in the Company's request for the ruling, would be tax-free to the Company and its stockholders. The aggregate market value of the shares of Blockbuster common stock based on the October 31, 2000 closing price of $8.875 per share of Blockbuster common stock was approximately $1.6 billion. The net book value of Viacom's investment in Blockbuster at September 30, 2000, after giving effect to the initial public offering, was approximately $5.0 billion. If the Company determines to engage in the split-off, any difference between the fair market value and net book value at the time of the split-off will be recognized as a gain or loss for accounting purposes. Based on the October 31, 2000 closing stock price of Blockbuster, a split-off would have resulted in a pre-tax loss on discontinued operations of approximately $3.8 billion. The actual amount of the gain or loss will depend upon the fair market value and net book value of Blockbuster at the time of the split-off as well as the exchange ratio used in the split-off. The Company cannot give any assurance as to whether or not or when the split-off will occur or as to the terms of the split-off if it does occur, or whether or not the split-off, if it does occur, will be tax-free. 37

Disability. In the event that you become "disabled" within the ---------- meaning of such term under Viacom's Short-Term Disability ("STD") program and its Long-Term Disability ("LTD") program during the Term (such condition is referred to as a "Disability"), you will receive compensation under the STD program in accordance with its terms.

Fricklas As of May 1, 2000 Page 9 (vii) the following with respect to any stock options granted to you under the 1997 LTMIP and any predecessor or successor plans ("LTMIP"): (x) all LTMIP stock options that have not vested and become exercisable on the date of such termination but that would have vested on or before the end of the Term shall vest on the date of termination; such LTMIP stock options shall remain exercisable for six (6) months after such date or, if earlier, until their expiration date; and (y) all outstanding LTMIP stock options that have previously vested and become exercisable by the date of such termination shall remain exercisable for six (6) months after such date or, if earlier, until their expiration date.

(e) Non-Renewal Notice/Payments. If Viacom elects not to extend or renew ---------------------------- this Agreement at the end of the Term, you shall receive the following: (i) If (x) Viacom notifies you less than twelve (12) months before the end of the Term that it has elected not to extend or renew this Agreement (such notice is referred to as a "Non-Renewal Notice"), or (y) your employment terminates under paragraph 8(b) or (c) during the final twelve (12) months of the Term, you shall continue to receive, after your employment terminates, your then- current Salary for the balance of the twelve (12) months from the date on which the Non-Renewal Notice is given or your employment terminates, whichever is earlier.
Michael D. Fricklas As of May 1, 2000 Page 10 (ii) If Viacom does not give you a Non-Renewal Notice by the end of the Term and you remain employed through that date but have not entered into a new contractual relationship with Viacom or any of its affiliated companies, and Viacom thereafter terminates your employment without Cause, you shall continue to receive your then-current Salary for the balance, if any, of the twelve (12) months after the expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not receive Salary under this paragraph 8(e) with respect to any period for which you receive Salary under paragraph 8(d)(i). Payments under this paragraph 8(e) shall be made, less applicable withholding taxes, in accordance with Viacom's then effective payroll practices. You shall be required to mitigate the amount of any payment under this paragraph 8(e) by seeking other employment, and the amount of any such payment shall be reduced by any compensation earned by you from any source, including, without limitation, salary, sign-on or annual bonus compensation, consulting fees, commission payments, car allowance and, in the event you receive long-term compensation with a present value, as reasonably determined by Viacom, greater than you would likely have received from Viacom during a comparable period (based on historical grants of long-term compensation during your service with Viacom and Viacom's practices with respect to your position, and prorating the value of such long-term compensation over the term of service required to vest therein), in each case as reasonably determined by Viacom, the amount of such excess.

The foregoing shall not apply to the LTMIP and, after the termination of your employment, your rights under the LTMIP shall be governed by the terms of the LTMIP option agreements and the applicable LTMIP plans together with paragraph 8(d)(vii). (g) Resignation from Official Positions. If your employment with ----------------------------------- Viacom terminates for any reason, you shall be deemed to have resigned at that time from any and all officer or director positions that you may have held with Viacom or any of its affiliated companies and all board seats or other positions in other entities you held on behalf of Viacom. If, for any reason, this paragraph 8(g) is deemed insufficient to effectuate such resignation, you agree to execute, upon the request of Viacom, any documents or instruments which Viacom may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such resignation or resignations, and you hereby authorize the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary of Viacom to execute any such documents or instruments as your attorney-in-fact.
