Comments : |
Subject is a wholly owned subsidiary of “Warner Bros Entertainment
Inc., USA”. It is an established company having satisfactory track. The company possesses an acceptable financial profile mainly marked by
timely infusion of funds from the part of promoters along with no leverage
and sufficient cash balance at the disposal which is reported in the books. Moreover, the ratings consider the financially strong parent backed by
iconic brands, diversified portfolio of assets coupled with strong
competitive position in the world market, along with large cash balance and
substantial free cash flow generation. Management has reported that they are steadily improving the overall
situation and has witnessed a minimal profit by bucking off the trend of
consecution losses during FY 2014 and is expecting to grow as they have
entered into co-production and distribution deals with many domestic
production houses. Further the ratings also take into consideration, India as the new
favourite of international studios with 100% FDI permitted in the film
sector, leading to massive FDI inflows to explore the potential in the
world’s third largest television market. Trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payments are reported to
be usually correct. In view of demonstrated parentage support, the company can be
considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions. |

WARNER BROS MERCHANDISE ARM EYES FRANCHISING FOR FASTER GROWTH
MUMBAI: Following its foray into the retail space with 'Kids WB' stores earlier this year, Warner Bros Consumer Products (WBCP) is now looking at growth through avenues like licensing with real estate developers and live shows in the country.
Known for properties like Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo and DC Comics' Superman and Batman,WBCP opened its first exclusive store at Coimbatore in partnership with Suncorp Exim in April this year.
While it is bullish on expanding the retail presence, it is also exploring options to extend licencing to different categories like real estate.
"Globally, WBCP is a USD 6-billion business and India is a relatively small currently...
"However, it is a fast growing market and there is a huge potential. There are a number of licencing opportunities that we are looking at," WBCP managing director Preston Kevin Lewis told PTI.
He further said the company is looking at bringing in a lot of live shows featuring its characters.
"We are also in talks with various realty developers," he said, adding that these are for projects in Delhi, Mumbai and other larger cities.
WBCP has another partner -- Fashion Brands -- which will set up 'Kids WB' stores in the North.
"As part of our retail strategy, we are focused on expanding the reach of our products through traditional retail chains and mom-n-pop stores. At the same time, Kids' WB stores would be a one-stop shop for our entire WB branded merchandise range," Lewis said.
After Coimbatore, the company is looking to set up shops in Jaipur and Ludhiana over the next three months, followed by Delhi and Mumbai, he added.
The stores stock merchandise across categories like apparel, footwear and stationery, among others.
"We will also introduce new merchandise to coincide with the release of movies like Godzilla and the Hobbit next year," Lewis said.
Though he declined to comment on revenue from here, he said WBCP is targetting "substantial revenue growth", which is expected to double from current levels in the next three to five years.
WARNER BROS WIN LEGAL CONTROL OVER SUPERMAN
SAN FRANCISCO, JAN
11:
Just in time for the summer release of a hoped-for blockbuster movie “Man of Steel,” Warner Bros. won a second significant legal victory Thursday giving it complete commercial control of the lucrative Superman franchise.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals unanimously ruled that the heirs of Superman’s co-creator Jerome Siegel must abide by a 2001 letter written by the family’s attorney accepting Warner Bros.’ offer for their 50 percent share of Superman. Though the five-page letter was never formalized into a contract, the appeals court said it was still binding.
“Statements from the attorneys for both parties establish that the parties had undertaken years of negotiations, that they had resolved the last outstanding point in the deal during a conversation on Oct. 15, 2001, and that the letter accurately reflected the material terms they had orally agreed to on that day,” Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote for the panel.
The ruling undoes a 2008 trial court decision ordering Warner Bros. to share an undetermined amount of money earned since 1999 with the heirs, and to give the family control of key components of the Superman story, including his costume.
If that decision were to stand, the studio would have had to negotiate a new costly royalty agreement with the family.
“The court’s decision paves the way for the Siegel finally to receive the compensation they negotiated for and which DC has been prepared to pay for over a decade,” Warner Bros. said in a prepared statement, referring to its DC Comics division.
“We are extremely pleased that Superman’s adventures can continue to be enjoyed across all media platforms worldwide for generations to come.”
The family’s attorney, Marc Toberoff, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Toberoff said earlier that he would appeal another significant Warner Bros. victory won in October involving the family of Superman’s other creator, Joseph Shuster, and their bid for half the commercial rights. Toberoff also represents the Shuster heirs, who lost their bid to retain a 50 percent share of Superman.
A federal judge in Los Angeles had ruled that Shuster’s sister and brother relinquished any chance to reclaim Superman copyrights in exchange for annual pension payments from DC Comics. U.S. District Judge Otis Wright noted in that case that the families of both creators have been paid in excess of $4 million since 1978, plus undefined bonuses and medical benefits.
