WARNER INC. REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2008 RESULTS PDF
NEW
YORK, August 6, 2008 – Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX) today reported financial
results for its
second
quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Chief
Executive Officer Jeff Bewkes said: “I’m pleased by the overall performance
of our businesses so far this year, particularly in light of the challenging
economic environment, and that we’re on track to achieve our business outlook.
This resilience reflects the strength of our brands, our expertise and
our scale, which we think give us a sustained advantage in creating, packaging
and distributing the industry’s most compelling content – such as The Dark
Knight, Sex and the City and The Closer.”
Mr.
Bewkes continued: “We’ve also made significant progress in our top structural
initiatives. During the quarter, we agreed to the terms of our planned
separation from Time Warner Cable. In addition, we’ve made the key decisions
that will enable us to run AOL’s access and audience businesses separately
beginning in 2009. As we continue to reshape Time Warner, we’ll increasingly
focus on our goal to create
and
manage high-quality branded content, across multiple platforms around the
world, at the highest
returns
possible for our stockholders.”
