DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

First Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights:

•Revenues increased 2% to $1,561 million (increased 5% excluding currency effects)

•Adjusted OIBDA increased 2% to $577 million (increased 7% excluding currency effects)

•Adjusted EPS increased 10% to $0.46 (increased 18% excluding currency effects)

Silver Spring, Maryland – May 5, 2016: Discovery Communications, Inc. (“Discovery” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DISCA, DISCB, DISCK) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

“Discovery’s business momentum continued to build in the first quarter with strong viewership across our worldwide portfolio of brands and platforms. Our unmatched global distribution network, diverse, much loved brands, and unique flexible business model yet again produced strong results, particularly in the U.S.,” said David Zaslav, President and CEO of Discovery Communications. “We have also made progress in reaching consumers across the world’s 7 billion screens with a robust multiplatform strategy that is increasingly showing potential to drive growth in the future. Given the long-term growth profile associated with the investments we’ve made, I remain optimistic about our overall operating and financial prospects, the opportunities ahead, and our potential to deliver significant shareholder value.”

First Quarter Results

First quarter revenues of $1,561 million increased 2% compared to the prior year, as 8% growth at U.S. Networks was partially offset by a 3% decline at International Networks, primarily due to currency effects, and lower revenues at Education and Other. Adjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”)⁽¹⁾ increased 2% to $577 million, as 11% growth at U.S. Networks was partially offset by a 14% decline at International Networks, primarily due to currency effects, and a small operating loss at Education and Other. Excluding currency effects, total Company revenues and Adjusted OIBDA grew 5% and 7%, respectively, as changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced revenue and Adjusted OIBDA growth by 3% and 5%, respectively. Excluding currency effects and the impact of the SBS Radio disposition⁽²⁾, total Company revenues and Adjusted OIBDA both increased 7%.

First quarter net income available to Discovery Communications, Inc. increased 5% to $263 million ($0.42 per diluted share)⁽³⁾ compared to $250 million ($0.37 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to improved operating results, a decrease in taxes, lower currency-related losses, and a gain from the sale of SBS Radio, partially offset by higher equity-based compensation and a decline in income from equity investees. Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS")⁽¹⁾, which excludes the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, was up 10% to $0.46 for the first quarter 2016 compared to $0.42 for the first quarter 2015. Adjusted EPS excluding currency effects increased 18%, as changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced first quarter Adjusted EPS growth by 8%. For the last twelve months ending March 31, 2016, Adjusted EPS excluding currency effects was up 11% compared to the twelve month period ending March 31, 2015.

(2)	The Company completed its sale of SBS Radio on June 30, 2015.
(3)	All per share amounts are calculated using Net Income Available to Discovery Communications, Inc. Series A, B and C common stockholders. See table on page 12 for the full schedule.

Free cash flow increased 62% to $47 million for the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to improved operating performance and lower cash taxes, partially offset by the timing of working capital and higher content spend. Free cash flow growth excluding currency effects was not meaningful for the first quarter, but increased 53% for the last twelve months ending March 31, 2016 compared to the twelve month period ending March 31, 2015. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.

U.S. Networks’ revenues in the first quarter of 2016 increased 8% to $807 million, driven by 8% distribution growth and 7% advertising growth. Distribution revenue growth was primarily driven by higher rates. Advertising revenues increased 7% primarily due to higher pricing and inventory management, partially offset by lower delivery.

Adjusted OIBDA increased 11% to $473 million, as revenue growth was partially offset by a 3% increase in operating expenses, mainly due to higher content amortization.

International Networks



(dollars in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015			Change
Revenues:
Distribution	$	411		$	396		4	%
Advertising	285			312			(9	)%

Total Revenues	$	711		$	735		(3	)%
Adjusted OIBDA	$	185		$	215		(14	)%
Adjusted OIBDA Margin	26		%	29		%

International Networks’ revenues for the first quarter decreased 3% to $711 million and Adjusted OIBDA decreased 14% to $185 million. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced first quarter international revenues and Adjusted OIBDA growth by 6% and 12%, respectively. Excluding currency effects and the impact of SBS Radio, total revenues were up 7%. Distribution revenues, excluding the impact of currency effects, grew 12% mostly due to increased subscribers in Latin America and higher rates in CEEMEA and Northern Europe, as well as contributions from Eurosport France⁽¹⁾. Excluding the impact of Eurosport France, distribution revenues on a constant currency basis would have been up 7%. Advertising revenues, excluding the impact of SBS Radio and currency effects, were up 4%, primarily due to higher volume and ratings in Southern Europe and higher pricing and volume in CEEMEA, partially offset by a decline in Northern Europe due to the Telenor blackout and lower ratings.

Excluding the impact of SBS Radio and foreign currency exchange rates, Adjusted OIBDA was down 2%, reflecting 7% revenue growth more than offset by an 11% increase in operating expenses. The higher operating expenses were primarily due to increased content costs.

Education and Other



(dollars in millions)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015			Change
Revenues	$	44		$	54		(19	)%
Adjusted OIBDA	$	(1	)	$	5		NM
Adjusted OIBDA Margin	NM			9		%

Education and Other revenues for the first quarter decreased by $10 million primarily due to lower external production deliveries at the Studios production business. Adjusted OIBDA decreased by $6 million primarily due to additional investments in Education Techbooks and lower external Studios production deliveries.

Corporate and Inter-Segment Eliminations

Adjusted OIBDA for the first quarter of 2016 decreased by $3 million primarily due to higher personnel costs and information technology investments.



(1)	The Company completed its acquisition of a controlling stake in Eurosport France on March 31, 2015, resulting in the consolidation of Eurosport France as of that date.

STOCK REPURCHASE

During the quarter, the Company, pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program, repurchased 8.4 million shares of its Series C common stock at an average price of $25.44 per share, for a total of $214 million. On February 22, 2016, the Company repurchased 2.9 million shares from Advance/Newhouse Programming Partnership ("ANPP") at $55.43 per share (or $27.72 per share on a split adjusted basis), for a total of $159 million pursuant to the previously announced share repurchase agreement described below between the Company and ANPP. In total, the Company spent $373 million on share repurchases during the first quarter of 2016.

Through March 31, 2016, the Company has repurchased 123.4 million shares of Series C common stock and 2.8 million shares of its Series A common stock under its stock repurchase program. In aggregate, including the 27.0 million preferred shares acquired from ANPP and from Advance Programming Holdings, LLC, this represents 36%, or $7.0 billion, of the Company's outstanding shares since buyback activity was authorized in 2010 at an average price of $26.60 per share on a split adjusted basis. Note that the aggregate share numbers have not been adjusted to reflect the stock dividend that was distributed in August 2014.

On May 22, 2014, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement with ANPP to repurchase its shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock, on a quarterly basis, in proportion to the Company's repurchases under its stock repurchase program in a manner that is intended to maintain ANPP's current ownership

percentage of the Company. This agreement was amended by letter agreement on August 25, 2014.

OTHER ITEMS

On March 11, 2016, the Company completed an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.90% senior notes due 2026. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

FULL YEAR 2016 OUTLOOK

For the full year ending December 31, 2016, Discovery expects Adjusted EPS excluding currency effects to grow at least high teens and free cash flow excluding currency effects to grow at least high teens.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) provided in this release, the Company has presented Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and free cash flow. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based on financial measures such as revenues and Adjusted OIBDA. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income excluding: (i) mark-to-market equity-based compensation, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) amortization of deferred launch incentives, (iv) restructuring and other charges, (v) certain impairment charges, (vi) gains and losses on business and asset dispositions, and (vii) certain inter-segment eliminations related to production studios.

The Company uses Adjusted OIBDA to assess the operating results and performance of its segments, perform analytical comparisons, identify strategies to improve performance and allocate resources to each segment. The Company believes Adjusted OIBDA is relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of each segment using the same metric management uses. The Company excludes mark-to-market equity-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, certain impairment charges, and gains and losses on business and asset dispositions from the calculation of Adjusted OIBDA due to their volatility. The Company also excludes depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets and deferred launch incentives, as these amounts do not represent cash payments in the current reporting period. Additionally, certain corporate expenses and inter-segment eliminations related to production studios are excluded from segment results to enable executive management to evaluate segment performance based upon the decisions of segment executives.

The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income available to Discovery Communications, Inc. stockholders excluding the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and defines Adjusted EPS as earnings excluding the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets per diluted share. Note that given the change in conversion ratio for our preferred stock, the preferred shares are now only included in the diluted share count. The Company believes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are relevant to investors because these metrics allow them to evaluate the performance of the Company's operations exclusive of the non-cash amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets that impact the comparability of results from period to period.

The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less acquisitions of property and equipment. The Company uses free cash flow as it believes it is an important indicator for management and investors of the Company’s liquidity, including its ability to reduce debt, make strategic investments and return capital to stockholders.

Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures, and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, earnings per diluted share and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Please review the supplemental financial schedules beginning on page 10 for reconciliations to GAAP measures.
