\u201cDisney\u2019s unique competitive strength is our ability to create characters, stories, and franchises that form enduring relationships with audiences around the world. We engage with these audiences across streaming, theatrical, sports, consumer products, experiences, and games. What begins as a single creative investment can evolve into a multi-decade relationship \u2014 one that spans platforms, geographies, and generations. We believe these strengths support durable earnings growth and cash flow generation. Looking ahead, we see a significant opportunity to engage and entertain our fans more deeply in both digital and physical environments.\u201d<\/p>\n
