DISH SEGMENT Pay-TV Net Additions* DISH lost approximately 81,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during 2Q15, compared to the loss of approximately 44,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during 2Q14. The decrease in net Pay-TV subscriber additions versus the same period in 2014 resulted from a higher Pay-TV churn rate and lower gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations. – PAY-TV METRICS Pay-TV Gross Activations* During 2Q15, DISH activated approximately 638,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers compared to approximately 656,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers during 2Q14, a decrease of 2.7%. The decline in gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations was primarily related to stricter customer acquisition policies and increased competitive pressures, including aggressive marketing, discounted promotional offers, and more aggressive retention efforts. Pay-TV Churn Rate* Our Pay-TV churn rate for 2Q15 was 1.71% compared to 1.66% during 2Q14. 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, programming interruptions in connection with the scheduled expiration of certain programming carriage contracts, our ability to control piracy and other forms of fraud, and the level of our retention efforts. *For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we have included all Sling TV subscribers in our Pay-TV subscriber metrics. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

DISH SEGMENT – PAY-TV METRICS-CONTINUED Pay-TV Subscribers* DISH ended 2Q15 with 13.932 million Pay-TV subscribers compared to 14.053 million Pay-TV subscribers at the end of 2Q14. Pay-TV ARPU* Pay-TV average monthly revenue per subscriber (Pay-TV ARPU) was $87.91 during 2Q15 versus $84.15 during 2Q14. The $3.76 or 4.5% increase in Pay-TV ARPU was primarily attributable to the programming package price increases in February 2015 and 2014, higher hardware related revenue and revenue related to a pay-per-view event. These increases were partially offset by a shift in programming package mix, and an increase in Sling TV subscribers and retention credits. Sling TV subscribers generally have lower priced programming packages than DISH branded pay-TV subscribers. Accordingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, the increase in Sling TV subscribers had a negative impact on Pay-TV ARPU. Pay-TV SAC* Pay-TV subscriber acquisition cost (Pay-TV SAC) was $767 during 2Q15 compared to $846 during 2Q14, a decrease of $79 or 9.3%. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in Sling TV subscribers activations with lower Pay-TV SAC and a decrease in hardware costs per activation, partially offset by an increase in advertising costs per activation. The decrease in hardware costs per activation was primarily driven by a higher percentage of remanufactured receivers being activated on new subscriber accounts. *For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we have included all Sling TV subscribers in our Pay-TV subscriber metrics. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

DISH SEGMENT – BROADBAND METRICS Broadband Net Additions DISH added approximately 4,000 net Broadband subscribers during 2Q15, compared to the addition of approximately 36,000 net Broadband subscribers during 2Q14. This decrease in net Broadband subscriber additions versus 2Q14 resulted from lower gross new Broadband subscriber activations and a higher number of customer disconnects. Broadband Gross Activations During 2Q15 and 2Q14, DISH activated approximately 51,000 and 76,000 gross new Broadband subscribers, respectively. Gross new Broadband subscriber activations declined primarily due to stricter customer acquisition policies, lower gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations and satellite capacity constraints in certain geographic areas. Customer disconnects were higher due to a larger Broadband subscriber base during 2Q15 compared to 2Q14. Broadband Subscribers DISH ended 2Q15 with 595,000 Broadband subscribers compared to 525,000 Broadband subscribers at the end of 2Q14.

SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS Subscriber-Related Revenue* Subscriber-related revenue totaled $3.801 billion for 2Q15, an increase of $156 million or 4.3% compared to 2Q14. The change in Subscriber-related revenue from 2Q14 was primarily related to the increase in Pay-TV ARPU discussed previously. Included in Subscriber-related revenue was $110 million and $92 million of revenue related to our broadband services for 2Q15 and 2Q14, respectively. Subscriber-Related Expenses* Subscriber-related expenses totaled $2.236 billion during 2Q15, an increase of $131 million or 6.2% compared to 2Q14. The increase in Subscriber-related expenses was primarily attributable to higher pay-TV programming costs. 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. Net Income (Loss) Net income attributable to DISH Network was $324 million during 2Q15 compared to $213 million for 2Q14. *For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we have included all Sling TV subscribers in our Pay-TV subscriber metrics.
