    Premium Pay-TV
    Foxtel continues to face structural hurdles even as new SVOD players with deeper pockets
    emerge
•     Up until about six years ago, Foxtel had enjoyed uninterrupted growth as                   Fig. 4: SVOD pricing by platform (A$ per month)
      Australia’s monopoly premium Pay-TV provider. But the arrival of both
      international SVOD players and local SVOD challengers is now having a                       25
      significant effect on Foxtel.
•     The SVOD growth surge under COVID and the associated lockdowns has
      accelerated migration from traditional Pay TV to SVOD. We believe Foxtel will               20
      aim to stabilise Pay-TV subscriptions at the cost of ARPU, but Foxtel’s
      challenges are structural and it will not be able to recover all of its lost revenue.
•     To make matters worse, the Australian SVOD market is set for a renewed bout                 15
      of competitive intensity with Disney+ and Apple TV+ making inroads. Foxtel,
      which has been quietly chipping away at its new strategy of developing                                   25
      standalone OTT platforms, will see a pick-up in pricing pressure in 2021 as the
                                                                                                  10                    20
      new entrants prioritise reach over revenues. Both platforms are priced at a 50-                                              19
      70% discount to comparable plans from Netflix, Stan and Foxtel Now. If Foxtel
      Now cuts prices in response, it will need to significantly increase penetration to
      grow revenue.                                                                                5
                                                                                                                                            8.99
                                                                                                                                                         7.99
•     Given the structural challenges it faces and the rise of competitor SVOD
      services due to COVID-19 in Australia, we forecast Premium Pay-TV revenues to
      fall from A$2.9bn in FY20 to A$1.9bn by FY24. We also note the risk of the                   0
      Foxtel business reaching a tipping point if its foray into SVOD fails to make an                 Foxtel Now   Netflix 4K   Stan 4K   Disney+     Apple TV+

Premium Pay-TV – Kayo and the risks of cannibalisation
Rise of sports streaming apps and 5G could threaten Foxtel in Live Sports
                                                                         Fig 6: Will Kayo cannibalise Foxtel?
•    In the last few years, new platforms are threatening to disrupt
     the most important pillar of Foxtel’s product offering – Live
     Sports. In response, Foxtel has launched its standalone sports
     streaming service – Kayo Sports.
•    But while Foxtel hopes that Kayo will help expand its subscriber
     base and appeal to younger audiences, Kayo also risks                                                                                      82%
     cannibalising Foxtel’s existing subscribers that are on higher                             66%                         34%

     priced premium packages.
•    According to Venture Insights’ 2020 consumer survey, 18% of                                                                               18%
     Foxtel subscribers said that they would change their Foxtel
     subscription after the Kayo launch.
                                                                                 I am not a Fox tel subscriber
•    Foxtel also risks losing some of its sports focused customer
                                                                                 I am a Foxtel subscrib er and d o not plan to change m y sub sc ription due to Kayo
     base to telcos that are looking to expand their content offerings
                                                                                 I am a Foxtel subscrib er and d o plan to (have) alter m y subscription due to Kayo
     using sports. Optus in particular has established itself as the
     premier Football streaming provider in Australia with its focus     Fig 7: Rising competition in sports streaming
     on European Football. We expect sports streaming to emerge
     as a key use case for 5G and expect telcos to combine 5G and
     sports streaming to extract a revenue premium from customers
     willing to pay for a better sports streaming experience.
•    We believe Foxtel will need to go beyond lower pricing, promo
     offers and SVOD. Foxtel should be looking to position itself as
     the aggregator of choice by offering multiple streaming
     services under one bill and one interface. The move to integrate
     and bundle Netflix with Foxtel was a step in the right direction,
     but it may be a case of too little too late as Netflix is already
     available on multiple other devices and platforms.

    SVOD
    The SVOD market is set for a renewed bout of competitive intensity driven by the entry of
    multiple new players
•      Netflix has maintained its dominance of the Australian SVOD market. We                                 Fig 8: SVOD revenue and pcp growth (A$mn, %)
       estimate that Netflix has 5mn+ paying subscribers in Australia.

SVOD
Netflix to remain the largest SVOD player but will face increasing competition from new
players such as Disney+
•    New streaming services are expected to give incumbents Netflix and Stan a challenge right out of the gate with the new players focusing on
     grabbing audience share over profitability.
•    Among the new entrants, we expect Disney+ to become a major player driven by its massive content catalogue and global brand leadership.
     We also anticipate Disney to pull off a ‘Verizon’ type deal in Australia and partner with a major telco. Verizon in the US, offers 12 months free
     Disney+ service to new subscribers.
•    We estimate Disney+ had about 1.2mn subscribers in FY20 and further expect its subscriber base to increase to 4mn subscribers by the end of
     FY24.
•    While we expect Disney+ to be a formidable competitor, we expect Netflix to maintain its leading position in Australia as its local content
     catalogue remains significantly larger than that of Disney+ at launch. Disney+ launched with 600+ TV shows and movies while Netflix has more
     than 4,000 TV shows and movies in its Australian catalogue.
•    Furthermore, globally, Netflix outspent Disney by nearly 4x on original content in 2020 with Netflix estimated to have spent US$4.4bn while
     Disney is estimated to have spent US$1.3bn. In January 2021, Netflix announced it will no longer needs external financing to fund its operations.

 TVOD/EST
 Growth to continue
 •       We expect TVOD/EST revenue to grow at a 3.8% CAGR to reach A$297m by 2024. While we expect some existing users to migrate spend
         to SVOD, we also expect new users (i.e. those currently buying Physical Media) to start to buy TVOD/EST services.
 •       Although the majority of streamed video watching will be undertaken through SVOD, for content not available on SVOD (specifically new
         film releases), TVOD/EST will be the dominant method of consumption.
 •       TVOD generates 60% of the revenue within the sector; only movie content is being purchased through this service as users opt to rent or
         subscribe to SVOD in order to watch TV series.
 •       EST has a near 60:40 split of revenue from movie and TV content.
 •       The rise of SVOD has had a knock-on effect on the amount of video piracy occurring within Australia, with numbers significantly reducing –
         the number of Australians consuming only pirated content has reduced from 12% in 2015 to 1% in 2019 while the number of Australians
         consuming a mix of both legal and pirated content has reduced from 31% in 2015 to 15% in 2019.
 •       The Australian Government is striving to reduce piracy within the nation, introducing a number of Anti-piracy laws since 2015. As the
         government continues to make the piracy of video content more difficult, TVOD/EST is the clear option for viewing content not on SVOD.
         Further anti-piracy regulations will in turn drive growth in TVOD/EST.

Physical Media
The ubiquity of streaming platforms will accelerate the decline of physical media
•    Technology has rendered much of the physical media industry obsolete as consumers move away from renting and storing movie content on
     DVD and Blu-ray discs, to digital formats.
•    Digital video streaming quality has dramatically improved in the past few years from SD quality to 4K streams. The decline in consumption of
     physical media has also forced major electronics manufacturer Samsung to announce that it will stop manufacturing Blu Ray players.
•    We expect Physical Media (DVD / Blu-ray) revenue to contract at a -10.6% CAGR to reach A$236mn by 2024, at which point rental revenue will
     be largely insignificant (A$1mn) and retail revenue will have dropped to A$235mn. COVID-19 has added to the decline of this industry.
•    Rental
     − Over the last decade, rental businesses for DVDs have largely disappeared – the number of DVD rental stores have declined from more
       than 2,000 to fewer than 500 stores. We expect this decline to accelerate as faster internet speeds (5G and NBN) and changing video
       consumption habits (from TV to smartphones) reduces the propensity to rent DVDs i.e. video viewing is moving to devices that are not
       addressable by physical media.
•    Retail
     −    We expect retail sales to decline at a -10.5% CAGR to 2024 as consumers migrate to more convenient and relatively lower priced SVOD
          and TVOD/EST platforms. However, we anticipate that there will still be a market for physical retail through to 2024, as a small percentage
          of consumers will still want to physically own their video content, despite the majority transitioning to SVOD.

Cinema
Revenues are projected to decline gradually over the next 4 years primarily due to cheaper
substitutes on offer for consumers
•     Over the past two decades there has been a massive change to the cinema landscape with consumers turning to cheaper alternatives as technology
      improves such as the introduction of the DVD and more recently SVOD platforms.
•     Cinema distributors and exhibitors have been conservative in their response to the changing market. They have tried to maintain revenues by
      increasing pricing and have consequently barely scratched the surface of innovation.
•     Cinema attendance per capita in Australia has been in steady decline since ‘A Beautiful Mind’ swept the Academy Awards in 2002. The primary reason
      behind the steady drop in attendance has been the new availability of close substitutes. The first drop in attendance rates (2002-2006) was likely due
      to the release of the DVD in 2000, which became a staple in most households by 2002. The second major drop in cinema attendance rates started in
      2010 and this not surprisingly coincided with the popularity of illegal piracy and was further accentuated by the transformation of Netflix from a DVD
      rental company to an SVOD platform.
•     Coinciding with these changes has been the improvement of home entertainment technology. Most family homes now have large television screens
      and high-quality sound systems which reduce the need to go to a ‘big screen’.
•     Total Cinema revenue is forecast to gradually decline to A$1.2bn by 2024, a -0.3% CAGR driven by a declining per capita admissions rate and limited
      flexibility in increasing ticket prices.
•     In order to counter the declining admissions rate, Australian Exhibitors have been releasing more Asian films to target the increasingly multicultural
      population. In 2019, around 40% of movies released in Australia were from Asia, compared to 4 in 2002%.

Methodology and Definitions

   Methodology and definitions

   •    Our forecast methodology assesses consumer viewing behaviour and focuses on ‘end-state’ behaviours (and spending patterns) at
        the end of our five-year horizon. To achieve this, we have drawn on industry interviews, global comparative data and analysis
        (including via our partners at Enders Analysis)
   •    The methodology section also contains important definitions (i.e. Premium versus Pay-lite) which should be understood before
        reading on

   •    The next page provides an illustrative overview of the methodology and our forecast data. We highlight the following definitions to
        be aware of:

          –   Pay-TV: Our Pay-TV forecasts reflect Premium Pay-TV services only, which we define as services provided via Foxtel’s HFC or
              satellite service where the service is delivered to a set-top-box

          –   Pay-lite Pay-TV: Although this definition is not referred to within this report, historically Pay-lite was defined as services provided
              via the internet and can be bundled in the sale of broadband. Pay-lite includes SVOD services. These are excluded from our
              Pay-TV forecasts and are included in our SVOD forecasts.

          –   Cinema: While not specifically a home entertainment video service, we include in our model to reflect that customers have a
              choice between video services consumed in the home and the cinema. Equally, and while not contained in our model here,
              when we assess share of time across video/TV, we include free-to-air TV in our assessment
