NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

1)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business—CBS Corporation (the "Company" or "CBS Corp.") is comprised of the following segments: Television (CBS Television Network, UPN, Showtime Networks Inc. ("Showtime Networks"), CSTV Networks, Inc. ("CSTV Networks"), CBS Television Stations, CBS Paramount Television and King World), Radio (CBS Radio), Outdoor (CBS Outdoor) and Publishing (Simon & Schuster). On June 30, 2006, the Company sold Paramount Parks to Cedar Fair, L.P. for $1.24 billion. As a result, Paramount Parks is presented as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this current presentation.

The Separation—The separation of former Viacom Inc. ("Former Viacom") into two publicly traded entities, CBS Corp. and the new Viacom Inc. ("Viacom Inc.") was completed on December 31, 2005 (the "Separation"). As a result, each outstanding share of Former Viacom class A common stock was converted into .5 of a share of CBS Corp. Class A Common Stock and .5 of a share of Viacom Inc. class A common stock and each outstanding share of Former Viacom class B common stock was converted into .5 of a share of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock and .5 of a share of Viacom Inc. class B common stock. All prior period share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect this conversion.

The Separation is accounted for by the Company as a spin-off of Viacom Inc. Accordingly, the operations of Viacom Inc. are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Included in discontinued operations are allocations of corporate expenses and Paramount Pictures corporate overhead including accounting, treasury, legal, human resources, information systems and other services, to reflect the utilization of such shared services and fixed assets by Viacom Inc. These allocations were made using specific identification of costs, assets and liabilities, and other relative percentages where specific identification was not determinable. In the opinion of management, the allocation methodologies are reasonable. The corporate expenses of CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc., operating as separate stand-alone entities, may have been different from those reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

For purposes of governing certain ongoing relationships between CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc. after the Separation and to provide for an orderly transition, the Company and Viacom Inc. entered into various agreements including a separation agreement (the "Separation Agreement"), tax matters agreement and transition services agreement.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Net Earnings per Common Share—Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based upon net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares and restricted share units ("RSUs") only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, stock options to purchase 40.6 million shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock were outstanding but excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, stock options to purchase 66.4 million and 64.7 million shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock were outstanding but excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The table below presents a reconciliation of weighted average shares used in the calculations of basic and diluted EPS:

Additional Paid-In Capital—For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded dividends of $260.9 million as a reduction to additional paid-in capital as the Company had an accumulated deficit balance.

Recent Pronouncements—In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified-prospective application method and, accordingly, recognizes compensation cost for stock-based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. In addition, the Company recognizes the unvested portion of the grant-date fair value of awards made prior to the adoption based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes. In accordance with this method of adoption, prior period results have not been restated.

Stock Options

Stock options generally vest over a three- to four-year service period and generally expire eight to ten years from the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on historical forfeiture rates. On an annual basis, the Company adjusts the compensation expense based on actual forfeitures and revises its forfeiture rate as necessary.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards at June 30, 2006 was approximately $29.6 million which is expected to be expensed over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

The weighted-average fair value of each option as of the grant date was $5.95 and $10.36 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


 
  2006

  2005


Expected dividend yield   2.66%   .76%
Expected stock price volatility   23%   24%
Risk-free interest rate   4.89%   3.90%
Expected life of options (years)   5.57   5.58

During 2006, the expected stock price volatility was determined using an average of the implied volatility of traded options to purchase CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock and the implied volatility of similar entities. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury rate in effect on the date of grant with a term equal to the expected life. The expected term was determined based on historical employee exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected dividend yield for 2006 is based on the current annual dividend rate. The Black-Scholes assumptions for grants during 2005 were based on characteristics relating to shares of Former Viacom class B common stock.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company followed the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). The Company applied APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and, accordingly, did not recognize compensation expense for the stock option grants because the Company typically does not issue options at exercise prices below market value at date of grant.

Effective March 8, 2005, the vesting of certain unvested stock options granted from 1999 through 2004 was accelerated. Incremental after-tax expense of $168.2 million in continuing operations and $108.4 million in discontinued operations associated with the acceleration was reflected in the first quarter 2005 pro forma disclosure.

The following table reflects the effect on net earnings from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of

If the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS 123, an incremental after-tax expense would have been recognized in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 of $3.4 million and $136.7 million, respectively.

RSUs and Restricted Shares

Compensation expense for RSUs is determined based upon the market price of the shares underlying the awards on the grant date and expensed over the vesting period. RSUs generally vest over a three- to four-year service period. RSU awards granted to certain senior executives vest over a one- to four-year period based on the achievement of certain one-year performance criteria. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on historical forfeiture rates. On an annual basis, the Company adjusts the compensation expense based on actual forfeitures and revises its forfeiture rate as necessary.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted shares and RSUs at June 30, 2006 was approximately $187.2 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

Voluntary Exchange Offer

On June 1, 2006, the Company announced the completion of its Voluntary Exchange Offer ("VEO") which gave eligible employees the voluntary opportunity to tender their stock options to purchase shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock in exchange for restricted shares (for eligible employees who are subject to United States income tax) or RSUs (for eligible employees who are not subject to United States income tax) of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock having a value equal to 75% of the fair value attributed to the eligible options. For the restricted shares and RSUs issued in exchange for the fully vested options, no compensation expense will be recorded. For the restricted shares and RSUs issued in exchange for unvested options, compensation expense will be recorded based on grant-date fair value of the options over the remaining vesting period. Employees who participated in the VEO made separate tendering decisions with respect to all of their stock options awarded prior to January 1, 2006 that were out-of-the-money (options with an exercise price equal to or greater than $24.9340) and all of those that were in-the-money (options with an exercise price less than $24.9340). Restricted shares and RSUs issued in connection with the VEO vest in two equal annual installments on the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, June 1, 2006, subject to forfeiture and other restrictions. As a result of the VEO, options to purchase 63.7 million shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock were exchanged for 7.1 million restricted shares and .1 million RSUs.

Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of RSUs or restricted shares, the Company issues new shares from its existing authorization. The Company has reserved a total of 69,235,242 shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock for future exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs and restricted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2006. Stock options and RSUs available for future grant at June 30, 2006 were 55,428,996.

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

The Company has not made any purchases under its stock purchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, on a trade date basis, the Company purchased approximately 33.5 million shares of its Class B Common Stock for $2.40 billion under its $8.0 billion stock purchase program.

11)    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for continuing operations (exclusive of income tax on equity in earnings (loss) of affiliates and minority interest) was $118.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared with $242.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. For the second quarter of 2006, the Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 19.3% from 39.1% reflecting a benefit of $129.0 million from the settlement of certain income tax audits. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company's effective tax rate of 27.9% decreased from 40.1% for the same prior-year period.

12)    COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In connection with the Separation, Viacom Inc. has agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to obligations related to Blockbuster Inc. ("Blockbuster"), including certain Blockbuster store leases; certain UCI theatre leases; and certain theater leases related to W.F. Cinema Holdings L.P. and Grauman's Theatres LLC.

The Company has indemnification obligations with respect to letters of credit and surety bonds primarily used as security against non-performance in the normal course of business. The outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds approximated $408.8 million at June 30, 2006 and are not recorded on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2006.

In the course of its business, the Company both provides and receives indemnities which are intended to allocate certain risks associated with business transactions. Similarly, the Company may remain contingently liable for various obligations of a business that has been divested in the event that a third party does not live up to its obligations under an indemnification obligation. The Company records a liability for its indemnification obligations and other contingent liabilities when probable under generally accepted accounting principles.

Legal Matters

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits and Demands.    Two shareholder derivative lawsuits, consolidated as In re Viacom Shareholders Derivative Litigation, were filed in July 2005 in New York State Supreme Court relating to executive compensation and alleged corporate waste. The actions name each member of Former Viacom's Board of Directors, Messrs. Tom Freston and Leslie Moonves (each of whom were executive officers of Former Viacom), and, as a nominal defendant, Former Viacom, alleging that the 2004 compensation of Messrs. Redstone, Freston, and Moonves was excessive and unwarranted and challenging the independence of certain Former Viacom directors. Mr. Redstone is the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and Founder and Mr. Moonves is the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Freston is Viacom Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages from the members of the Former Viacom Board of Directors for their alleged breach of fiduciary duties, disgorgement of the 2004 compensation paid to

the officers of Former Viacom, equitable relief, and attorney fees and expenses. The Company moved to dismiss the complaints and oral argument was heard on February 16, 2006. On June 26, 2006, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss. The Company intends to appeal this decision. Any liabilities in this matter adverse to the Company and/or Viacom Inc. will be shared equally between the Company and Viacom Inc. The Company believes that the plaintiffs' positions in these actions are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation.

The Company has received shareholder demands seeking access to books and records of the Company relating to executive compensation paid to Sumner M. Redstone, Tom Freston and Leslie Moonves, accompanied by statements that such demands are in furtherance of an investigation of possible mismanagement, self-dealing and corporate waste by directors and officers of Former Viacom. Another shareholder demand seeking access to books and records relates to the compensation of Sumner M. Redstone and Mel Karmazin (former Chief Operating Officer of Former Viacom). One of the demands also seeks access to books and records of the Company relating to Sumner M. Redstone's acquisition of a controlling interest in Midway Games Inc. The Company intends to comply with all reasonable requests. Under the Separation Agreement between the Company and Viacom Inc., liabilities in connection with executive compensation claims relating to officers of Former Viacom are shared equally by the Company and Viacom Inc.

Claims Related to Former Businesses: Asbestos, Environmental and Other.    The Company is a defendant in lawsuits claiming various personal injuries related to asbestos and other materials, which allegedly occurred principally as a result of exposure caused by various products manufactured by Westinghouse, a predecessor, generally prior to the early 1970s. Westinghouse was neither a producer nor a manufacturer of asbestos. The Company is typically named as one of a large number of defendants in both state and federal cases. In the majority of asbestos lawsuits, the plaintiffs have not identified which of the Company's products is the basis of a claim. Claims against the Company in which a product has been identified principally relate to exposures allegedly caused by asbestos-containing insulating material in turbines sold for power-generation, industrial and marine use, or by asbestos containing grades of decorative micarta, a laminate used in commercial ships.

Claims are frequently filed and/or settled in large groups, which may make the amount and timing of settlements, and the number of pending claims, subject to significant fluctuation from period to period. The Company does not report as pending those claims on inactive, stayed, deferred or similar dockets which some jurisdictions have established for claimants who allege minimal or no impairment. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had pending approximately 94,730 asbestos claims, as compared with approximately 101,170 as of December 31, 2005 and approximately 104,700 as of June 30, 2005. Of the claims pending as of June 30, 2006, approximately 58,860 were pending in state courts, 33,210 in federal courts and approximately 2,660 were third party claims. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company received approximately 1,550 new claims and closed or moved to an inactive docket approximately 5,120 claims. The Company reports claims as closed when it becomes aware that a dismissal order has been entered by a court or when the Company has reached agreement with the claimants on the material terms of a settlement.

Settlement costs depend on the seriousness of the injuries that form the basis of the claim, the quality of evidence supporting the claims and other factors. To date, the Company has not been liable for any third party claims. The Company's total costs for the years 2005 and 2004 for settlement and defense of asbestos claims after insurance recoveries and net of tax benefits were approximately $37.2 million and

21


CBS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)


$58.4 million, respectively. The Company's costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims may vary year to year as insurance proceeds are not always recovered in the same period as the insured portion of the expenses. The Company believes that its reserves and insurance are adequate to cover its asbestos liabilities.

The Company from time to time receives claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and other entities asserting that it is or may be liable for environmental cleanup costs and related damages principally relating to historical and predecessor operations of the Company. In addition, the Company from time to time receives personal injury claims including toxic tort and product liability claims (other than asbestos) arising from historical operations of the Company and its predecessors.

Payola.    The Attorney General of the State of New York is conducting an investigation of record companies, radio stations and independent record promoters relating to the promotion and selection of music on radio stations, principally to determine whether radio stations have received undisclosed payments or other items of value that were tied to their decisions on what songs to play, a practice commonly known as "payola." In connection with this investigation, the Attorney General has entered into settlement agreements with EMI Music, Sony/BMG Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group Corp. The Attorney General has also filed a lawsuit against Entercom Communications Corp., which owns and operates radio stations in the State of New York, alleging that various arrangements with record companies and independent record promoters are, inter alia, deceptive business practices under New York law. CBS Radio has provided information to the Attorney General and has otherwise cooperated with the investigation. However, if CBS Radio is unable to resolve this matter with the Attorney General, it is possible that the Attorney General will institute litigation. In addition, the FCC, based on a review of information provided to it by the Attorney General, has initiated its own investigation of whether certain arrangements between radio stations and record companies and independent record promoters constitute "payola" in violation of the Communications Act. The FCC has issued a Letter of Inquiry to CBS Radio and three other large radio companies requesting additional information about these practices. CBS Radio intends to cooperate with the FCC in this investigation and is in the process of gathering the information requested by the FCC.

Indecency Regulation.    On March 15, 2006, the FCC released certain decisions relating to indecency complaints against certain of the Company's owned television stations and affiliated stations. The FCC ruled in the Super Bowl proceeding and ordered the Company to pay a forfeiture of $550,000. On May 31, 2006, the FCC denied the Company's petition for reconsideration. On July 28, 2006, the Company filed a Petition for Review of the forfeiture and denial of reconsideration with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and paid the $550,000 forfeiture under protest so that it could bring the appeal. On March 15, 2006, the FCC also notified the Company and certain affiliates of the CBS Television Network of apparent liability for forfeitures relating to a broadcast of the program Without a Trace. The FCC proposed to assess a forfeiture totaling $3.35 million for such matter; of that amount $260,000 is against certain owned and operated stations and the remainder is against stations affiliated with the CBS Television Network. The Company is contesting the FCC decision and the proposed forfeitures. Also, on March 15, 2006, as part of an omnibus indecency order, the FCC ruled that a broadcast of The Early Show was indecent, but declined to issue a forfeiture. That decision and others are the subject of a petition for review filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by the Company, as well as the other broadcast networks and their affiliate associations. Additionally, the

22

(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)


Company, from time to time, has received and may receive in the future letters of inquiry from the FCC prompted by complaints alleging that certain programming on the Company's broadcasting stations included indecent material. In a separate matter, a new law increased the maximum forfeiture for a single indecency violation to $325,000, with a maximum forfeiture exposure of $3,000,000 for any continuing violation arising from a single act or failure to act, which amounts will be effective when the FCC issues implementing regulations.

On an ongoing basis, the Company defends itself in a multitude of lawsuits and proceedings and responds to various investigations and inquiries from federal, state and local authorities (collectively, "litigation"). Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. However, based on its understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company believes that the above-described legal matters and other litigation to which it is a party are not likely, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Under the Separation Agreement between the Company and Viacom Inc., Viacom Inc. has agreed to defend and indemnify the Company in certain litigation in which the Company is named.

13)    RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

The CW, a new broadcast network and 50/50% joint venture with Warner Bros. Entertainment, will be launched in September 2006. As a result, UPN plans to cease broadcasting its network schedule at the conclusion of the 2005/2006 broadcast season. In connection with the shutdown of UPN, the Television segment recorded restructuring charges of $24.0 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2006. The charges reflected costs associated with contract terminations of $13.6 million and severance, legal and other expenses of $10.4 million. The Company paid and charged $.1 million against the restructuring liabilities during the second quarter of 2006.

14)    REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The following tables set forth the Company's financial performance by reportable operating segment. The Company's reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company's internal management structure, which is organized based upon products and services. Paramount Parks, previously included in an all other category named Parks/Publishing, is presented as a discontinued operation (See Note 4). Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this current presentation.

The Company presents Segment operating income before depreciation and amortization ("Segment OIBDA") as the primary measure of profit and loss for its operating segments. The Company believes the presentation of Segment OIBDA is relevant and useful for the investors because it allows investors to view segment performance in a manner similar to the primary method used by the Company's management and enhances their ability to understand the Company's operating performance.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
(Tabular dollars in millions)

Management's discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Recent Developments

On June 30, 2006, the Company sold Paramount Parks to Cedar Fair, L.P. for $1.24 billion. As a result, Paramount Parks, previously included in an all other category named Parks/Publishing, is presented as a discontinued operation. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this current presentation.

On June 1, 2006, the Company announced the completion of its Voluntary Exchange Offer ("VEO") which gave eligible employees the opportunity to tender their outstanding stock options to purchase shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock in exchange for restricted shares or restricted share units ("RSUs") of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock. As a result of the VEO, options to purchase 63.7 million shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock were exchanged for 7.1 million restricted shares and .1 million restricted share units.

On May 25, 2006, the Company announced a 12.5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend on CBS Corp. Class A and Class B Common Stock from $.16 to $.18 per share. The dividend of $139.1 million was paid on July 1, 2006 to shareholders of record as of June 5, 2006.

On May 23, 2006, the Company announced that it will explore the divestiture of its radio stations in ten markets: Austin, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Columbus, Fresno, Greensboro-Winston/Salem, Kansas City, Memphis, Rochester and San Antonio.

Separation

The separation of former Viacom Inc. ("Former Viacom") into two publicly traded entities, CBS Corporation (the "Company" or "CBS Corp.") and new Viacom Inc. ("Viacom Inc.") was completed on December 31, 2005 (the "Separation"). As a result, each outstanding share of Former Viacom class A common stock was converted into .5 of a share of CBS Corp. Class A Common Stock and .5 of a share of Viacom Inc. class A common stock and each outstanding share of Former Viacom class B common stock was converted into ..5 of a share of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock and .5 of a share of Viacom Inc. class B common stock. All prior period share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect this conversion. The results of Viacom Inc. have been presented as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

In connection with the Separation, CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc. entered into a separation agreement (the "Separation Agreement"). In accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, Viacom Inc. paid to the Company an estimated special dividend of $5.4 billion in December 2005. Pursuant to the provisions of the Separation Agreement, the estimated special dividend is subject to adjustment. On March 14, 2006, the Company submitted to Viacom Inc. an adjustment to increase the estimated special dividend in the amount of approximately $460 million. On May 5, 2006, Viacom Inc. paid to the Company the net undisputed amount of the dividend adjustment of $167 million plus net interest of $2.9 million. The remaining adjustment to increase the estimated special dividend in the amount of approximately $293 million is being disputed by Viacom Inc. and is subject to a resolution process specified in the Separation Agreement.

Advertising sales decreased $4.4 million to $2.65 billion for the second quarter of 2006 and $16.9 million to $5.22 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily reflecting a decrease at Radio principally offset by growth at Outdoor. Outdoor advertising growth primarily reflected an increase in North American properties of 9% for the second quarter and the six-month period and a 2% increase in Europe for the second quarter. Radio advertising revenues decreased 8% for the second quarter and 7% for the six-month period reflecting declines in both average unit rates and units sold. Television advertising revenues were relatively flat for both the second quarter and the six months.

Television license fees increased $14.1 million, or 5%, to $295.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 primarily reflecting higher revenues from the domestic syndication of Without a Trace and higher foreign syndication partially offset by the absence of license fees from the prior year second-cycle cable renewal of Everybody Loves Raymond. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, television license fees increased $181.0 million, or 31%, to $768.2 million primarily reflecting the second-cycle domestic syndication of Frasier in the first quarter of 2006.

Affiliate fees increased $26.2 million, or 11%, to $273.9 million for the second quarter and $40.2 million, or 8%, to $536.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily driven by the inclusion of CSTV Networks since its acquisition in January 2006 as well as rate increases and subscriber growth at Showtime Networks.

Publishing revenues increased $1.4 million, or 1%, to $176.1 million for the second quarter of 2006 primarily due to higher distribution fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Publishing revenues

increased $23.8 million, or 7%, to $357.2 million, primarily reflecting growth in the Adult group due to contributions from top-selling titles.

Other revenues, which include ancillary fees for Television and Radio operations, digital media and home entertainment revenues, decreased $67.5 million, or 44%, to $86.5 million for the second quarter and decreased $121.8 million, or 40%, to $180.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily reflecting lower home entertainment revenues due to the switch from self-distribution in 2005 to third party distribution in 2006.

International Revenues

The Company generated approximately 11% of its total revenues from international regions for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Programming expenses for the second quarter decreased $22.9 million, or 3%, to $756.2 million and for the six months decreased $29.0 million, or 2%, to $1.76 billion primarily reflecting lower costs associated with primetime series at the broadcast networks and lower program costs at Radio.

Production expenses for the second quarter decreased $26.4 million, or 5%, to $525.9 million principally reflecting lower production from the mix of network series. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, production expenses increased $106.8 million, or 10%, to $1.23 billion primarily reflecting higher costs relating to the first quarter 2006 domestic syndication of Frasier.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Outdoor operations expenses for the second quarter increased $8.7 million, or 3%, to $287.7 million and for the six months increased $5.3 million, or 1%, to $557.8 million primarily reflecting higher billboard lease costs and other outdoor expenses.

Publishing operations expenses for the second quarter decreased $1.1 million, or 1%, to $121.7 million primarily reflecting lower royalty expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Publishing operations costs increased $10.1 million, or 4%, to $248.9 million, reflecting higher cost of book sales.

Other operating expenses for the second quarter decreased $11.1 million, or 5%, to $218.6 million and for the six months decreased $15.6 million, or 4%, to $410.4 million primarily reflecting lower home entertainment distribution costs due to the switch from self-distribution in 2005 to third party distribution in 2006 partially offset by higher costs associated with digital media and employee-related costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, which include expenses incurred for selling and marketing costs, occupancy and back office support, increased $80.1 million, or 13%, to $714.1 million for the second quarter and increased $83.2 million, or 7%, to $1.36 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily reflecting $24.0 million of UPN shutdown costs recorded in the second quarter of 2006, higher employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation, the absence of a $14.6 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2005 on the sale of one of the Company's radio stations, and the inclusion of CSTV Networks, partially offset by lower advertising expense and professional fees. Pension and postretirement benefits increased $9.3 million to $53.6 million for the second quarter and increased $25.5 million to $113.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus the comparable prior-year period. The increases for both periods were primarily due to an increase in pension costs from the recognition of higher actuarial losses from the change in mortality rate assumption, and lower than expected plan asset performance in 2005, partially offset by lower postretirement benefit costs reflecting the effect of a Medicare Part D subsidy. The six-month period also reflected settlement costs related to an international pension plan. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 versus 18% for the same prior-year period and increased to 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus 18% in 2005.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, depreciation and amortization increased 1% to $108.6 million and increased 1% to $216.6 million, respectively, from the comparable prior-year periods.

Interest Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, interest expense decreased 20% and 19%, respectively, to $140.8 million and $285.1 million, respectively, due to lower debt balances in 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company received from Viacom Inc. a $5.4 billion special cash dividend as a result of the Separation, which was used by the Company to repay outstanding commercial paper, debt outstanding under revolving credit facilities and certain fixed rate debt upon maturity in January 2006. In addition, certain fixed rate debt was repaid during 2005, upon maturity. The Company had approximately $7.04 billion and $10.22 billion of principal amount of debt outstanding (including current maturities) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 7.0% and 6.0%, respectively.

Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, interest income increased $15.3 million to $18.5 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $24.9 million to $31.1 million primarily due to higher interest rates and increased cash and cash equivalents.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, "Loss on early extinguishment of debt" of $2.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, reflected losses recognized upon the early redemption of $50.0 million of the Company's 6.625% senior notes due 2011, and for the six months also reflected losses recognized upon the early redemption of $52.2 million of the Company's 7.70% senior notes due 2010.

Other Items, Net

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Other items, net reflected a net loss of $15.2 million principally consisting of losses of $7.8 million associated with securitizing trade receivables and foreign exchange losses of $7.5 million. Other items, net reflected a net loss of $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 principally consisting of losses of $14.8 associated with securitizing trade receivables and foreign exchange losses of $3.4 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2005, Other items, net reflected a net loss of $17.4 million principally consisting of foreign exchange losses of $13.8 million and losses of $3.2 million associated with securitizing trade receivables. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Other items, net of $21.6 million principally reflected a gain on the sale of Marketwatch.com, Inc. of $64.6 million, partially offset by a non-cash charge of $26.5 million associated with other-than-temporary declines in the Company's investments, foreign exchange losses of $10.0 million and losses associated with securitizing trade receivables of $6.2 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for continuing operations (exclusive of income tax on equity in earnings (loss) of affiliates and minority interest) was $118.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared with $242.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. For the second quarter of 2006, the Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 19.3% from 39.1% reflecting a benefit of $129.0 million from the settlement of certain income tax audits. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company's effective tax rate of 27.9% decreased from 40.1% for the same prior-year period.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Affiliated Companies, Net of Tax

"Equity in earnings (loss) of affiliated companies, net of tax" reflects the operating results of the Company's equity investments, primarily Westwood One, Inc. ("Westwood One"). In addition, The CW, a 50/50% joint venture with Warner Bros. Entertainment, has been accounted for as an equity investment beginning in the second quarter of 2006.

Minority Interest, Net of Tax

Minority interest primarily represents the minority ownership of certain international entities.

Net Earnings from Discontinued Operations

Net earnings from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 principally reflected the gain on sale of the Paramount Parks division to Cedar Fair, L.P. for $1.24 billion in cash. For 2005 periods, net earnings from discontinued operations included the operating results of Paramount Parks and Viacom Inc., prior to its separation from the Company.

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Television revenues decreased $24.4 million, or 1%, to $2.26 billion, reflecting a decrease in home entertainment revenues due to the switch from self-distribution in 2005 to third party distribution in 2006. The decrease is partially offset by 11% higher affiliate fees principally due to rate increases and subscriber growth at Showtime Networks and 5% higher television license revenues. Television license revenues increased 5% primarily from the domestic syndication of Without a Trace and higher foreign syndication revenues partially offset by the absence of license fees from the prior year second-cycle cable renewal of Everybody Loves Raymond. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Television revenues increased $96.2 million, or 2%, to $4.78 billion primarily due to 31% higher television license fee revenues, 8% higher affiliate revenues partially offset by lower home entertainment revenues. Television license fee revenues increased 31% principally from the second-cycle domestic syndication of Frasier in the first quarter of 2006 and higher foreign syndication revenues. Affiliate revenues increased primarily due to rate increases and subscriber growth at Showtime Networks and the inclusion of CSTV Networks results since its acquisition in January 2006. Television advertising revenues remained relatively flat versus the prior year for both the three and six-month periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Television operating income decreased $13.6 million, or 3%, to $491.9 million and OIBDA decreased $12.1 million, or 2%, to $535.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, operating income decreased slightly to $874.7 million from $875.7 million and OIBDA decreased slightly to $959.1 million from $959.5 million. These decreases principally reflect $24.0 million of UPN shutdown costs and higher stock-based compensation partially offset by lower costs associated with primetime series at the broadcast networks. For the six months, the decrease also reflects higher costs associated with the second-cycle domestic syndication of Frasier primarily offset by higher revenues as noted above. Included in total Television expenses is stock-based compensation of $8.5 million and $14.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, versus $2.1 million and $3.4 million for the same prior-year periods. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 22% and 18% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, versus 22% and 19% for the same prior-year periods.

The CW, a new broadcast network and 50/50% joint venture with Warner Bros. Entertainment, will be launched in September 2006. As a result, UPN plans to cease broadcasting its network schedule at the conclusion of the 2005/2006 broadcast season. The CW has been accounted for as an equity investment beginning in the second quarter of 2006. In connection with the shutdown of UPN, the Television

segment recorded restructuring charges of $24.0 million in SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2006. The charges reflected costs associated with contract terminations of $13.6 million and severance, legal and other expenses of $10.4 million. The Company paid and charged $.1 million against the restructuring liabilities during the second quarter of 2006.

On January 5, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of CSTV Networks, a cable network and online digital sports media company, for a purchase price of approximately $325 million, comprised of 10.2 million shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock and $52 million in cash. The results of CSTV Networks have been included in the Television segment since its date of acquisition.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Radio revenues decreased $47.4 million, or 8%, to $519.1 million, and $75.7 million, or 7%, to $953.6 million, respectively. The decreases reflected the weakness in the radio advertising market as well as the impact of programming changes at 27 owned radio stations. Radio advertising revenues decreased 8% for the quarter and 7% for the six months due to decreases in the average unit rates and units sold. Radio receives affiliation and other fees and consideration for management services provided to Westwood One, an affiliated company. Revenues from these arrangements were approximately $14.4 million and $29.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 versus $16.3 million and $32.5 million for the comparable prior-year periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Radio operating income decreased $53.3 million, or 20%, to $219.6 million and OIBDA decreased $52.6 million, or 19%, to $227.9 million. For the six months, operating income decreased $80.2 million, or 17%, to $382.2 million and OIBDA decreased $79.2 million, or 17%, to $398.5 million. These decreases are due primarily to the revenue decline noted above. Operating expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 2% for the quarter and $3.2 million, or 1% for the six months due primarily to lower program costs. SG&A expenses increased $7.9 million, or 5%, for the quarter and $6.7 million, or 2% for the six months due to the absence of a $14.6 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2005 on the sale of one of the Company's radio stations and higher marketing costs for morning programming and new formats, partially offset by lower legal expenses. Included in total Radio expenses is stock-based compensation of $3.4 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, versus $.6 million and $1.1 million for the same prior-year periods. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 42% and 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 40% and 45% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

For the remainder of 2006, the Company anticipates that Radio revenues and operating income will continue to be adversely impacted, similar to the impact during the first half of 2006, by the weakness in the radio advertising market and the programming changes at 27 owned radio stations. In July 2006, Radio took initiatives to reduce its cost structure by eliminating more than 100 staff positions. Also, the Company announced that it is exploring the divestiture of certain radio stations in ten of its smaller markets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Outdoor revenues increased $35.1 million, or 7%, to $534.4 million, and $58.2 million, or 6%, to $986.6 million, respectively. For the second quarter, the revenue increase reflected 9% growth in North American properties and 2% growth in Europe. North American properties reflected growth of 7% in the U.S., 17% in Canada and 15% in Mexico for the quarter. For the six months, Outdoor's revenue increase was driven by 9% growth in North American properties, reflecting growth of 8% in the U.S., 13% in Canada and 21% in Mexico, partially offset by a decrease of 1% in Europe. In constant dollars, however, European revenues increased 4% for the six months. Approximately 44% and 45% of Outdoor's revenues were generated from international regions for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 45% and 46% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Outdoor operating income increased $26.2 million, or 32%, to $107.9 million and OIBDA increased $25.1 million, or 19%, to $160.0 million. For the six months, operating income increased $54.2 million, or 55%, to $152.4 million and OIBDA increased $54.9 million, or 27%, to $259.1 million. For the second quarter and six months, the increases in operating income and OIBDA reflected the revenue increases noted above, partially offset by higher expenses. Operating expenses increased $8.7 million, or 3%, for the quarter and $5.3 million, or 1%, for the six months due primarily to higher billboard lease costs and other outdoor expenses. For the six months, these increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange. SG&A expenses increased $1.4 million, or 2%, for the quarter due primarily to higher employee-related costs. For the six months, SG&A expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 1%, reflecting lower professional fees and bad debt expense, as well as the favorable impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by higher employee-related costs. Included in total Outdoor expenses is stock-based compensation of $.9 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, versus $.2 million and $.3 million for the same prior-year periods. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 20% and 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 15% and 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, Publishing revenues increased $1.3 million, or 1%, to $176.0 million, and $23.7 million, or 7%, to $357.1 million, respectively. For the quarter, the increase in revenues reflected higher distribution fees and for the six months, the increase was driven by higher sales from the Adult group, reflecting top-selling titles such as Two Little Girls in Blue by Mary Higgins Clark and Cell by Stephen King.

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Publishing operating income increased $.4 million, or 5%, to $8.2 million and OIBDA increased $.7 million, or 7%, to $10.6 million. For the six months, operating income increased $3.1 million, or 35%, to $11.9 million and OIBDA increased $3.2 million, or 24%, to $16.4 million. These increases reflected the revenue increases partially offset by higher total expenses. Operating expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 1%, for the quarter due to lower royalty expenses, and increased $10.1 million, or 4%, for the six months due primarily to higher cost of sales relating to the revenue increase. SG&A expenses increased $1.7 million, or 4%, for the quarter and $10.5 million, or 13% for the six months primarily reflecting higher employee-related costs and advertising and selling expenses. Included in total Publishing expenses is stock-based compensation of $.5 million and $.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, versus $.2 million and $.3 million for the same prior-year periods. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 5% and 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 3% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Financial Position

Current assets increased $714.6 million to $7.51 billion at June 30, 2006 from $6.80 billion at December 31, 2005 primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, offset by decreases in receivables and programming and other inventory principally due to the timing of receivable collections and investment in programming. The increase in cash and cash equivalents principally reflected the sale of Paramount Parks, partially offset by the repayment of debt. The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of receivables was 5.5% at June 30, 2006 compared with 5.1% at December 31, 2005.

Net property and equipment decreased $32.2 million to $2.70 billion at June 30, 2006 from $2.74 billion at December 31, 2005, primarily reflecting depreciation expense of $166.5 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $113.2 million, additional property and equipment from acquisitions of $11.3 million and foreign exchange.

Goodwill increased $353.2 million to $18.98 billion at June 30, 2006 from $18.63 billion at December 31, 2005, primarily reflecting the acquisition of CSTV Networks.

Other assets decreased $763.6 million to $1.71 billion at June 30, 2006 from $2.47 billion at December 31, 2005, primarily due to the sale of Paramount Parks, which was presented as a discontinued operation at December 31, 2005.

Current liabilities decreased $1.11 billion to $4.27 billion at June 30, 2006 from $5.38 billion at December 31, 2005 primarily due to a decrease in current portion of long-term debt due to the repayment of senior notes. Accounts payable decreased due to the timing of payments.

Other liabilities decreased $233.4 million to $6.50 billion at June 30, 2006 from $6.74 billion at December 31, 2005, primarily due to the sale of Paramount Parks, which was presented as a discontinued operation at December 31, 2005.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.41 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The change in cash and cash equivalents was as follows:

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents   $ 1,406.5   $ (260.8 )

 

Operating Activities.    Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $1.30 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $68.8 million, or 6%, from $1.24 billion in the same prior-year period reflecting an increase in earnings from continuing operations and lower cash interest resulting from a reduction in debt in 2006, partially offset by higher cash taxes and lower cash inflows from net changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Cash paid for income taxes from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $401.9 million versus $249.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 principally due to higher taxable income in 2006.

Investing Activities.    Cash provided by investing activities of $1.14 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006 principally reflected proceeds of $1.24 billion from the sale of Paramount Parks and net receipts from Viacom Inc. related to the Separation of $77.6 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $113.2 million and acquisitions of $68.3 million, primarily consisting of the acquisition of CSTV Networks. Capital expenditures decreased $10.1 million or 8%. Cash used for investing activities from continuing operations of $207.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition


principally reflected acquisitions of $317.0 million, primarily consisting of the acquisition of KOVR-TV and capital expenditures of $123.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from dispositions of $125.1 million, principally from the sales of a radio station and two television stations and proceeds from the sale of investments of $107.8 million, primarily reflecting the sale of Marketwatch.com, Inc.

Financing Activities.    Cash used for financing activities of $1.04 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006 principally reflected the repayment of notes of $832.0 million and dividend payments of $229.9 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $37.5 million. Cash used for financing from continuing operations of $1.68 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily reflected the purchase of Company common stock of $2.41 billion, the repayment of notes of $1.42 billion and dividend payments of $229.8 million, partially offset by the net proceeds from bank borrowings of $2.27 billion and cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $119.4 million.

Cash Dividends and Share Purchase Program

On May 25, 2006, the Company announced a 12.5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $.18 per share on CBS Corp. Class A and Class B Common Stock. The increased dividend was paid on July 1, 2006 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2006. On April 1, 2006 the Company paid $124.1 million to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2006 for the $.16 per share dividend declared on January 25, 2006.

The Company has not made any purchases under its stock purchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, on a trade date basis, the Company purchased approximately 33.5 million shares of its Class B Common Stock for $2.40 billion under its $8.0 billion stock purchase program.

Capital Structure

The following table sets forth the Company's long-term debt:


 
  At
June 30, 2006

  At
December 31, 2005


Notes payable to banks   $ 5.0   $ 7.2
Senior debt (4.625% – 8.875% due 2006–2051)     6,990.2     7,919.9
Other notes     .8     1.0
Obligations under capital leases     122.7     125.4

Total debt     7,118.7     8,053.5
  Less discontinued operations debt (a)     83.0     153.2
  Less current portion of long-term debt     16.3     747.1

Total long-term debt from continuing operations, net of current portion   $ 7,019.4   $ 7,153.2

The Company's total debt includes (i) an aggregate unamortized premium of $30.5 million and $31.8 million and (ii) the decrease in the carrying value of the debt, since inception, relating to fair value hedges of $34.8 million and $8.5 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The senior debt of CBS Corp. is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by its wholly owned subsidiary, CBS Operations Inc. (formerly known as Viacom International Inc.). Senior debt in the amount of $52.2 million in the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CBS Broadcasting Inc., is not guaranteed.

On January 30, 2006, the Company redeemed, at maturity, all of the outstanding 6.4% senior notes for $800.0 million.

46



Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased $52.2 million of its 7.70% senior notes due 2010 and $50.0 million of its 6.625% senior notes due 2011, resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility due December 2010 (the "Credit Facility"), primarily to support commercial paper borrowings. At June 30, 2006, the Company had no commercial paper borrowings and was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility, including the requirement that the Company maintain a minimum coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2006, the remaining availability under this Credit Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, was $2.75 billion.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had an aggregate of $550.0 million outstanding under revolving receivable securitization programs. The programs result in the sale of receivables on a non-recourse basis to unrelated third parties on a one-year renewable basis, thereby reducing accounts receivable on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company enters into these arrangements because they provide an additional source of liquidity. Proceeds from these programs were used to reduce outstanding borrowings. The terms of the revolving securitization arrangements require that the receivable pools subject to the programs meet certain performance ratios. As of June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with the required ratios under the receivable securitization programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes that its operating cash flows ($1.30 billion at June 30, 2006), cash and cash equivalents ($3.06 billion at June 30, 2006), borrowing capacity under its committed bank facilities (which consisted of an unused revolving credit facility of $2.75 billion at June 30, 2006), and access to capital markets are sufficient to fund its operating needs, including commitments and contingencies, capital and investing commitments and its financing requirements for the foreseeable future. The funding for commitments to purchase sports programming rights, television and film operations, and talent contracts will come primarily from cash flow from operations.

The Company continually projects anticipated cash requirements, which include capital expenditures, dividends, acquisitions, and principal payments on its outstanding indebtedness, as well as cash flows generated from operating activity available to meet these needs. Any net cash funding requirements are financed with short-term borrowings (primarily commercial paper) and long-term debt. Commercial paper borrowings, which also accommodate day-to-day changes in funding requirements, are backed by a committed bank facility that may be utilized in the event that commercial paper borrowings are not available. The Company's credit position affords sufficient access to the capital markets to meet the Company's financial requirements.

The Company anticipates that future debt maturities will be funded with cash and cash equivalents and cash flows generated from operating activities and other debt financing. There are no provisions in any of the Company's material financing agreements that would cause an acceleration of the obligation in the event of a downgrade in the Company's debt ratings.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering debt securities, preferred stock and warrants of CBS Corp. that may be issued for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.0 billion. The registration statement was first declared effective on January 8, 2001. The net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities may be used by CBS Corp. for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings, working capital and capital expenditures; or for such other purposes as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. To date, the Company has issued $2.385 billion of securities under the shelf registration statement.

Voluntary Exchange Offer

On June 1, 2006, the Company announced the completion of its VEO which gave eligible employees the voluntary opportunity to tender their outstanding stock options to purchase shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock in exchange for restricted shares (for eligible employees who are subject to United States income tax) or RSUs (for eligible employees who are not subject to United States income tax) of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock having a value equal to 75% of the fair value attributed to the eligible options. For the restricted shares and RSUs issued in exchange for the fully vested options, no compensation expense will be recorded. For the restricted shares and RSUs issued in exchange for unvested options, compensation expense will be recorded based on grant-date fair value of the options over the remaining vesting period. Employees who participated in the VEO made separate tendering decisions with respect to all of their stock options awarded prior to January 1, 2006 that were out-of-the-money (options with an exercise price equal to or greater than $24.9340) and all of those that were in-the-money (options with an exercise price less than $24.9340). Restricted shares and RSUs issued in connection with the VEO vest in two equal annual installments on the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, June 1, 2006, subject to forfeitures and other restrictions. As a result of the VEO, options to purchase 63.7 million shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock were exchanged for 7.1 million restricted shares and .1 million RSUs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In connection with the Separation, Viacom Inc. has agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to obligations related to Blockbuster Inc. ("Blockbuster"), including certain Blockbuster store leases; certain UCI theatre leases; and certain theater leases related to W.F. Cinema Holdings L.P. and Grauman's Theatres LLC.

The Company has indemnification obligations with respect to letters of credit and surety bonds primarily used as security against non-performance in the normal course of business. The outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds approximated $408.8 million at June 30, 2006 and are not recorded on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2006.

In the course of its business, the Company both provides and receives indemnities which are intended to allocate certain risks associated with business transactions. Similarly, the Company may remain contingently liable for various obligations of a business that has been divested in the event that a third party does not live up to its obligations under an indemnification obligation. The Company records a liability for its indemnification obligations and other contingent liabilities when probable under generally accepted accounting principles.

Legal Matters

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits and Demands.    Two shareholder derivative lawsuits, consolidated as In re Viacom Shareholders Derivative Litigation, were filed in July 2005 in New York State Supreme Court relating to executive compensation and alleged corporate waste. The actions name each member of Former Viacom's Board of Directors, Messrs. Tom Freston and Leslie Moonves (each of whom were executive officers of Former Viacom), and, as a nominal defendant, Former Viacom, alleging that the 2004 compensation of Messrs. Redstone, Freston, and Moonves was excessive and unwarranted and challenging the independence of certain Former Viacom directors. Mr. Redstone is the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and Founder and Mr. Moonves is the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Freston is Viacom Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages from the members of the Former Viacom Board of Directors for their alleged breach of fiduciary duties, disgorgement of the 2004 compensation paid to the officers of Former Viacom, equitable relief, and attorney fees and expenses. The Company moved to dismiss the complaints and oral argument was heard on February 16, 2006. On June 26, 2006, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss. The Company intends to appeal this decision. Any liabilities in this matter adverse to the Company and/or Viacom Inc. will be shared equally between the Company and Viacom Inc. The Company believes that the plaintiffs' positions in these actions are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation.

The Company has received shareholder demands seeking access to books and records of the Company relating to executive compensation paid to Sumner M. Redstone, Tom Freston and Leslie Moonves, accompanied by statements that such demands are in furtherance of an investigation of possible mismanagement, self-dealing and corporate waste by directors and officers of Former Viacom. Another shareholder demand seeking access to books and records relates to the compensation of Sumner M. Redstone and Mel Karmazin (former Chief Operating Officer of Former Viacom). One of the demands also seeks access to books and records of the Company relating to Sumner M. Redstone's acquisition of a controlling interest in Midway Games Inc. The Company intends to comply with all reasonable requests. Under the Separation Agreement between the Company and Viacom Inc., liabilities in connection with executive compensation claims relating to officers of Former Viacom are shared equally by the Company and Viacom Inc.

Claims Related to Former Businesses: Asbestos, Environmental and Other.    The Company is a defendant in lawsuits claiming various personal injuries related to asbestos and other materials, which allegedly occurred principally as a result of exposure caused by various products manufactured by Westinghouse, a predecessor, generally prior to the early 1970s. Westinghouse was neither a producer nor a manufacturer of asbestos. The Company is typically named as one of a large number of defendants in both state and federal cases. In the majority of asbestos lawsuits, the plaintiffs have not identified which of the Company's products is the basis of a claim. Claims against the Company in which a product has been identified principally relate to exposures allegedly caused by asbestos-containing insulating material in turbines sold for power-generation, industrial and marine use, or by asbestos containing grades of decorative micarta, a laminate used in commercial ships.

Claims are frequently filed and/or settled in large groups, which may make the amount and timing of settlements, and the number of pending claims, subject to significant fluctuation from period to period. The Company does not report as pending those claims on inactive, stayed, deferred or similar dockets which some jurisdictions have established for claimants who allege minimal or no impairment. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had pending approximately 94,730 asbestos claims, as compared with

49


Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition


approximately 101,170 as of December 31, 2005 and approximately 104,700 as of June 30, 2005. Of the claims pending as of June 30, 2006, approximately 58,860 were pending in state courts, 33,210 in federal courts and approximately 2,660 were third party claims. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company received approximately 1,550 new claims and closed or moved to an inactive docket approximately 5,120 claims. The Company reports claims as closed when it becomes aware that a dismissal order has been entered by a court or when the Company has reached agreement with the claimants on the material terms of a settlement.

Settlement costs depend on the seriousness of the injuries that form the basis of the claim, the quality of evidence supporting the claims and other factors. To date, the Company has not been liable for any third party claims. The Company's total costs for the years 2005 and 2004 for settlement and defense of asbestos claims after insurance recoveries and net of tax benefits were approximately $37.2 million and $58.4 million, respectively. The Company's costs for settlement and defense of asbestos claims may vary year to year as insurance proceeds are not always recovered in the same period as the insured portion of the expenses.

Filings include claims for individuals suffering from mesothelioma, a rare cancer, the risk of which is allegedly increased primarily by exposure to asbestos; lung cancer, a cancer which may be caused by various factors, one of which is alleged to be asbestos exposure; other cancers, and conditions that are substantially less serious, including claims brought on behalf of individuals who are asymptomatic as to an allegedly asbestos-related disease. Claims identified as cancer remain a small percentage of asbestos claims pending at June 30, 2006. In a substantial number of the pending claims, the plaintiff has not yet identified the claimed injury. The Company believes that its reserves and insurance are adequate to cover its asbestos liabilities.

The Company from time to time receives claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and other entities asserting that it is or may be liable for environmental cleanup costs and related damages principally relating to historical and predecessor operations of the Company. In addition, the Company from time to time receives personal injury claims including toxic tort and product liability claims (other than asbestos) arising from historical operations of the Company and its predecessors.

Payola.    The Attorney General of the State of New York is conducting an investigation of record companies, radio stations and independent record promoters relating to the promotion and selection of music on radio stations, principally to determine whether radio stations have received undisclosed payments or other items of value that were tied to their decisions on what songs to play, a practice commonly known as "payola." In connection with this investigation, the Attorney General has entered into settlement agreements with EMI Music, Sony/BMG Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group Corp. The Attorney General has also filed a lawsuit against Entercom Communications Corp., which owns and operates radio stations in the State of New York, alleging that various arrangements with record companies and independent record promoters are, inter alia, deceptive business practices under New York law. CBS Radio has provided information to the Attorney General and has otherwise cooperated with the investigation. However, if CBS Radio is unable to resolve this matter with the Attorney General, it is possible that the Attorney General will institute litigation. In addition, the FCC, based on a review of information provided to it by the Attorney General, has initiated its own investigation of whether certain arrangements between radio stations and record companies and independent record promoters constitute "payola" in violation of the Communications Act. The FCC has issued a Letter of Inquiry to CBS Radio and three other large

50


Management's Discussion and Analysis of

radio companies requesting additional information about these practices. CBS Radio intends to cooperate with the FCC in this investigation and is in the process of gathering the information requested by the FCC.

Indecency Regulation.    On March 15, 2006, the FCC released certain decisions relating to indecency complaints against certain of the Company's owned television stations and affiliated stations. The FCC ruled in the Super Bowl proceeding and ordered the Company to pay a forfeiture of $550,000. On May 31, 2006, the FCC denied the Company's petition for reconsideration. On July 28, 2006, the Company filed a Petition for Review of the forfeiture and denial of reconsideration with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and paid the $550,000 forfeiture under protest so that it could bring the appeal. On March 15, 2006, the FCC also notified the Company and certain affiliates of the CBS Television Network of apparent liability for forfeitures relating to a broadcast of the program Without a Trace. The FCC proposed to assess a forfeiture totaling $3.35 million for such matter; of that amount $260,000 is against certain owned and operated stations and the remainder is against stations affiliated with the CBS Television Network. The Company is contesting the FCC decision and the proposed forfeitures. Also, on March 15, 2006, as part of an omnibus indecency order, the FCC ruled that a broadcast of The Early Show was indecent, but declined to issue a forfeiture. That decision and others are the subject of a petition for review filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by the Company, as well as the other broadcast networks and their affiliate associations. Additionally, the Company, from time to time, has received and may receive in the future letters of inquiry from the FCC prompted by complaints alleging that certain programming on the Company's broadcasting stations included indecent material. In a separate matter, a new law increased the maximum forfeiture for a single indecency violation to $325,000, with a maximum forfeiture exposure of $3,000,000 for any continuing violation arising from a single act or failure to act, which amounts will be effective when the FCC issues implementing regulations.

On an ongoing basis, the Company defends itself in a multitude of lawsuits and proceedings and responds to various investigations and inquiries from federal, state and local authorities (collectively, "litigation"). Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. However, based on its understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company believes that the above-described legal matters and other litigation to which it is a party are not likely, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Under the Separation Agreement between the Company and Viacom Inc., Viacom Inc. has agreed to defend and indemnify the Company in certain litigation in which the Company is named.

Recent Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified-prospective application method and accordingly, recognizes compensation cost for stock-based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. In addition, the Company recognizes the unvested portion of the grant-date fair value of awards made prior to the adoption based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. The use of different assumptions and estimates in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could have a material impact on the estimated fair value of option grants and the related expense. The expected stock price volatility was determined using an average of the implied volatility of traded options to purchase CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock and the implied volatility of similar entities. The risk free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury rate in effect on the date of grant with a term equal to the expected life. The expected term was determined based on historical employee exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected dividend yield for 2006 is based on the current annual dividend rate.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits.    As previously reported, two shareholder derivative lawsuits, consolidated as In re Viacom Shareholders Derivative Litigation, were filed in July 2005 in New York State Supreme Court relating to executive compensation and alleged corporate waste. The actions name each member of Former Viacom's Board of Directors, Messrs. Tom Freston and Leslie Moonves (each of whom were executive officers of Former Viacom), and, as a nominal defendant, Former Viacom, alleging that the 2004 compensation of Messrs. Redstone, Freston, and Moonves was excessive and unwarranted and challenging the independence of certain Former Viacom directors. The Company moved to dismiss the complaints and oral argument was heard on February 16, 2006. On June 26, 2006, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss. The Company intends to appeal this decision. Under the Separation Agreement between the Company and Viacom Inc., liabilities in connection with executive compensation claims relating to officers of Former Viacom are shared equally by the Company and Viacom Inc.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
