DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14 DISH SEGMENT – PAY-TV METRICS 3 Pay-TV Net Additions DISH added approximately 40,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during 1Q14, compared to the addition of approximately 36,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during the same period in 2013. The increase versus the same period in 2013 primarily resulted from lower Pay-TV churn. Pay-TV Churn Our Pay-TV churn rate for 1Q14 was 1.42% compared to 1.47% for the same period in 2013. While our Pay-TV churn rate improved compared to the same period in 2013, our Pay-TV churn rate continues to be adversely affected by increased competitive pressures, including aggressive marketing and discounted promotional offers. Our Pay-TV churn rate is also impacted by, among other things, the credit quality of previously acquired subscribers, our ability to consistently provide outstanding customer service, price increases, service interruptions driven by programming disputes, and our ability to control piracy and other forms of fraud. Pay-TV Gross Activations During 1Q14, DISH activated approximately 639,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers compared to approximately 654,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers during the same period in 2013, a decrease of 2.3%. Our gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations continue to be negatively impacted by increased competitive pressures, including aggressive marketing, discounted promotional offers, and more aggressive retention efforts in a mature market. In addition, our gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations continue to be adversely affected by sustained economic weakness and uncertainty. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14

DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14 DISH SEGMENT – PAY-TV METRICS-CONTINUED 4 Pay-TV Subscribers DISH closed the first quarter with 14.097 million Pay-TV subscribers compared to 14.092 million Pay-TV subscribers at the end of first quarter 2013. Pay-TV ARPU Pay-TV average monthly revenue per subscriber (Pay-TV ARPU) was $82.36 during 1Q14 versus $78.44 during the same period in 2013. The $3.92 or 5.0% increase in Pay-TV ARPU was primarily attributable to the programming package price increases in February 2014 and 2013 and higher hardware related revenue. Pay-TV SAC Pay-TV Subscriber Acquisition Cost (Pay-TV SAC) was $862 during 1Q14 compared to $882 during the same period in 2013, a decrease of $20 or 2.3%. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease in hardware costs per activation, partially offset by an increase in advertising costs. The decrease in hardware costs per activation was driven by a reduction in manufacturing costs for new Hopper with Sling receiver systems and lower costs associated with inventory subsidies provided to third party sales channels. The increase in advertising costs was primarily due to brand spending. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14

This decrease versus the same period in 2013 primarily resulted from a higher number of customer disconnects driven by a larger Broadband subscriber base in the first quarter 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Broadband Gross Activations During 1Q14 and the same period in 2013, DISH activated approximately 83,000 gross new Broadband subscribers.

DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14

DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14 SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS 6 Subscriber-Related Revenue Subscriber-related revenue totaled $3.556 billion for 1Q14, an increase of $208 million or 6.2% compared to the same period in 2013. The change in Subscriber-related revenue from the same period in 2013 was primarily related to the increase in Pay-TV ARPU previously discussed and revenue from broadband services. Included in Subscriber-related revenue was $83 million and $41 million of revenue related to our broadband services for 1Q14 and 1Q13, respectively. Subscriber-Related Expenses Subscriber-related expenses totaled $2.069 billion during 1Q14, an increase of $158 million or 8.2% compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in Subscriber- related expenses was primarily attributable to higher pay- TV programming costs and higher Broadband subscriber- related expenses due to the increase in our Broadband subscriber base. The increase in programming costs was driven by rate increases in certain of our programming contracts, including the renewal of certain contracts at higher rates. Included in Subscriber-related expenses was $49 million and $28 million of expense related to our broadband services for 1Q14 and 1Q13, respectively. Net Income Net income (loss) attributable to DISH Network was $176 million during 1Q14, a decrease of $40 million compared to $216 million for the same period in 2013. Note that net income for 2Q13 was negatively impacted by a $438 million impairment charge related to the T2 and D1 satellites. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14

DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY–1Q14 SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS-CONTINUED 7 Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA was $695 million during 1Q14, a decrease of $3 million or 0.4% compared to the same period in 2013. Note that Adjusted EBITDA for 2Q13 was negatively impacted by a $438 million impairment charge related to the T2 and D1 satellites. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as “Net income (loss) attributable to DISH Network” less “Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” plus “Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized” net of “Interest income,” “Income tax (provision) benefit, net” and “Depreciation and amortization.” Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measurement of operating efficiency and overall financial performance and we believe it to be a helpful measure for those evaluating companies in the pay-TV industry. Conceptually, Adjusted EBITDA measures the amount of income from continuing operations generated each period that could be used to service debt, pay taxes and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
