VRL – FY2014 Update
13 VILLAGE ROADSHOW LIMITED – Investor Presentation , October 2013
Theme Parks
VRL, the Queensland Government and Ardent Leisure, announced a joint marketing initiative on 9 October. Will add marketing expense to FY2014 costs, but expect subsequent additional revenues
Characterises the Gold Coast as the “Theme Park Capital of Australia”
Utilising theme parks as the catalyst to bring extra millions of people to the Gold Coast and help fuel the Queensland economy
Ticket sales marginally softer than previous year, with park attendances expected to increase in the remainder of the year, aided by the anticipated impact of the joint marketing initiative
Wet ‘n’ Wild Sydney on track to open December 2013, pre-opening costs will flow through in 1st half with revenue in 2nd half
One off costs associated with the opening of Wet ‘n’ Wild Sydney and Queensland joint marketing initiative of circa $8M in FY2014
Exhibition / Film Distribution – 1st quarter Theatrical softer than prior year, however significant releases scheduled in the coming months including Hunger Games – Catching Fire
VREG – As previously noted, film performance criteria not met with no new film release until February 2014, hence no cash interest to VRL for at least first 3 quarters of FY2014

VRL – FY2014 Capital Management
14 VILLAGE ROADSHOW LIMITED – Investor Presentation , October 2013
SHAREHOLDER DISTRIBUTION
A distribution of 25 cents per share as equal reduction of share capital, subject to shareholder approval. Intent for further 25 cents per share distribution after July 2014 subject to VRL’s circumstances at that time
Funded from surplus cash and debt facilities, will impact revenue from interest income/ interest expense
$39.9M payable December 2013 (pending shareholder approval)
Increase in Exhibition / Roadshow debt facilities by $100M and extension of term to September 2017
Additional refinancing and interest costs, circa $2.5M in FY2014
Corporate debt facility of $100M will be materially undrawn (after Exhibition / Roadshow refinancing), allowing flexibility and capacity for growth
REFINANCING
Theme Parks and Corporate debt facilities expire January 2015
Currently renegotiating to take advantage of better interest margins and increase length of facility
Refinancing costs of circa $1.5M will be incurred in FY2014, thereafter expected positive impact due to better margins.
