•  ~14% of subscribers are Extremely or Very likely to cancel in the next 3-6 months

•  The last time we ran the survey in Q4 2011, ~11% were Extremely or Very likely to cancel, which could map with seasonal patterns, but helps provide a trending view

“Other” streaming video services

16

•  When consumers pick “Other” and add in a provider, we used text analysis to look at the top respondent reported services

•  This can provide a helpful look at how consumers view a category, and identify up and coming services

Key conclusions

19

•  ~35% of our targeted population subscribes to Netflix •  ~14% of Netflix subscribers are Extremely or Very likely to

cancel their subscription in the next 3-6 months -  This should benchmark against a 2-3% monthly churn expectation

•  Hulu has strong market share behind the top sites (Youtube, Netflix, Facebook) -  HBO and Amazon still trail the leaders by a large margin Which

competing online video services do consumers use on a monthly basis?

•  Usage and Price were #1 and #2 reasons why former subscribers cancelled -  However, Content and Usage were the #1 and #2 reasons why

current subscribers would expect to cancel
