Item 8.01 Other Events

Effective for fiscal 2019, The Walt Disney Company (the Company) is reporting segment operating results for the following four segments: Media Networks; Studio Entertainment; Parks, Experiences & Consumer Products and Direct-to-Consumer & International (DTCI). The Company has combined the operations and management of Parks & Resorts and the Consumer Products & Interactive Media segments into a new business unit, Parks, Experiences & Consumer Products and certain businesses that were previously reported in Media Networks, Studio Entertainment and Consumer Products & Interactive Media are now reported in DTCI.

In addition, the Company changed the reporting for intersegment content transactions from “net” to “gross” as we expect our Studio Entertainment and Media Networks segments will provide significant amounts of content to our DTCI segment.
