CEO STATEMENT
Elías Rodríguez-Viña, CEO of Endemol: “We are very satisfied with the strong results achieved in 2006. In the last year we have managed to grow in all areas of our business activities, as well as in almost every territory. We are especially pleased with the performance of ‘Deal or No Deal’ which has climbed to second place in our Top 10 formats, and which we believe has a very promising future. We are also confident about the future prospects of other game shows launched following the success of ‘DOND’. For example, ‘1vs100’, a revamped game show from our library, is now being produced in 8 countries, and continues to roll out worldwide following successful launches in the USA and the UK. Our creative strength and worldwide distribution network are key assets for creating local and global hits, expanding our business and adding value to our company. The acquisition of Endemol France is expected to be earnings enhancing, before acquisition-related amortization, for Endemol from the first year. With Endemol France back into the Group we are looking forward to another year of strong growth in 2007.
