Report Notes

• Throughout this report “AUDIENCE REACH” has been quoted, which is the measurement of the total unique individuals to have watched the event on television in-home. This ensures viewers are not duplicated while providing a true measure of event penetration.

For the purposes of this report, audience reach has been based on viewers watching a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes of coverage; however various other reach conditions have also been sourced and are quoted throughout as well as shown in the “Appendix” section. The projected global reach is based on collecting the audited reach data in major measured markets around the world, which account for a wide geographic spread as well as a significant proportion of the world’s population.

• This report examines only Television audiences. FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ is available to audiences via other media forms, such as broadband and mobile (see “Non-TV Consumption of FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™” section on page 20), however, this report does not detail consumption figures for these other forms of media as the data cannot as yet be aggregated.

• Similarly, out-of-home viewing is not considered in detail within this report. It is acknowledged that many people in many countries around the world consumed FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ in public places, bars, restaurants etc. However, aggregated data for these volumes is also not available.

• Many markets around the world have developed accurate methodologies to measure “IN-HOME AUDIENCES” over recent years; therefore there is a higher level of available audited audiences in this report than in the previous event report.

• Where estimated audiences have been applied, a more rigorous methodology has been employed than previously, taking into account multiple variables (see “In-home data sources and methodology” section on page 14).

Audience estimates are used due to the fact that official audited audience measurement systems still do not exist in many markets around the world. For example, estimates continue to be necessary in much of Africa, the Middle East, Caribbean, Pacific Islands and smaller markets in the Asia sub-continent. In addition, many digital/subscription channels around the world either do not or are not able to measure their audiences.

Audited audience data is available in over 85 territories, which, although only representing around 40% of the territories where coverage was available, account for approximately 75% of the world population.

• There are times when Media Rights Licensees (MRL’s) do not provide detailed confirmation of broadcast as would occur particularly in the markets in Africa. As a general rule, unconfirmed broadcasts are not included in the report. The only exception to this is when a competing nation’s local broadcaster has been unable to provide information. In this situation, a minimum of the matches of that particular team are represented in the report with appropriate estimates included.

• It is worth noting that in 2015, the size of the tournament has increased from 16 to 24 teams, with a total of 52 matches as opposed to 32 in the 2011 edition.

Executive summary

The in-home television coverage of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM reached a projected 555.6 million people globally, based on viewers watching a minimum of three (3) consecutive minutes of coverage. FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM has become FIFA’s second largest event in the current cycle, in terms of audience reach based on watching a minimum of 3 consecutive minutes of coverage Based on viewers watching a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes of coverage, the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM reached 327.8 million viewers, while based on viewers watching a minimum of 1 consecutive minute of coverage, the reach was as high as 764.0 million.

To establish the audience reach for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM, FIFA sourced audience reach from 12 major markets within this report. It was ensured that these markets accounted for a wide geographic spread as well as a significant proportion of the world’s population. This was then used to project a global reach (refer to “Global FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM analysis” section for more detail). The audience statistics below were the result: In-home audience reach based on viewers watching at least:

o 1+ minute of coverage: 764.0 million (n/a) o 3+ consecutive minutes of coverage: 555.6 million (+36%) o 20+ consecutive minutes of coverage: 327.8 million (+32%)

As can be seen from the comparison table below, FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM has become FIFA’s second largest event in the current cycle, in terms of audience reach based on watching a minimum of 3 consecutive minutes of coverage - ahead of the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013. Projected Global Reach (million) 3 Min 20 Min 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ 2,744 2,131 FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015™ 556 328 FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 459 337

This was reflected in a number of audience records achieved in the markets across the world:

The highest average audiences were recorded in the USA; all 52 live matches were broadcast by Fox USA and 31 by Telemundo (NBC Deportes), together achieving an average live audience of 1.9 million. The USA v Japan Final attracted an average live audience of 25.4 million viewers on Fox2 alone, with Telemundo3 adding an additional 1.3 million viewers on average, making it the most watched football match in USA history. This is far higher than the previous soccer record of 18.2 million set by USA v Portugal during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ group stage match (22nd June 2014); +39% based on the Fox2 figure alone. The USA v JPN match coverage on Fox2 also shattered the previous record for a women’s soccer match, the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ 1999 Final (17,975,000) by +41%. With projected out-of-home* viewing in the US (measured by Nielsen) the Fox2 average audience was estimated to rise to nearly 31 million viewers. *Nielsen Out-Of-Home Measurement Methodology: Nielsen Audio’s 77,000 person PPM® panel in 44 major media markets captures exposure to television content. PPM measures the person, and allows measurement of exposures which take place away from home. In-home exposure is also captured in order to calculate the amount of “Lift” delivered by out-of-home viewing. 2 Channel of the Media Rights Licensee FOX USA 3 Channel of the Media Rights Licensee Telemundo (NBC Deportes)

In the host market, a record number of 3.2 million viewers tuned in to watch the Canadian Women’s national team Quarter-final against England on CTV4 and RDS4, setting a new Canadian record for the most-watched FIFA Women’s World Cup™ match ever. The Final between USA and Japan generated an audience of 2.1 million viewers across the country, demonstrating a strong interest despite their team’s exit in the earlier rounds. This audience is twice the size of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Germany 2011TM Final match audience and the highest rated neutral Women’s soccer game ever in Canada.

In Japan, an average audience of 11.6 million for the Final shown on Fuji TV5 surpassed the figures achieved four years ago for the same Final match up (10.4m) by 11.5%.

In France, the peak match audience of 4.1 million for the Quarter-final match against Germany broke the record for the highest TV rating of all time on W96, as well being the highest ever DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) audience recorded in France.

Between 2011 and 2015, internet usage has grown by nearly 37%, to 3 billion people online in 2015. Alongside the growth in usage, there has also been a growth in accessing digital content and, in particular, streaming live content. Consumer surveys suggest this has increased by 29% for online TV viewing and 102% for mobile TV viewing, which is not surprising given that broadband penetration, mobile device usage and internet speed have all increased in many of the more developed markets.

Broadcasters are now able to provide a level of detail for digital media audience measurement that has not previously been available, and whilst this is not yet in the same level of detail on a global basis as for television, it does provide some data that allows Kantar to project the potential reach of dedicated FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ match content. Using online/mobile viewing data from 17 countries (all sourced directly from MRLs) and relating this back to the typical viewing patterns on TV, a projected 86 million people were reached by dedicated FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ match content online or on mobile, equating to 3% of the global internet population in 2015. 64 million of the total was generated within China by LETV. It is important to note that this does not account for shorter highlights or news clips and is purely based on official MRL data of match viewing. This is a conservative estimate given the relatively small amount of detailed data available.

Other highlights of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM included:

o Each live match of FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ was watched by a global in-home audience of 8.4 million.

o The highest global in-home audience (all programme types) was for the Final match between USA and Japan, with a total audience of 60.7 million viewers.

o Reach7 was highest in China, where 80.4 million viewers were reached7, followed by USA with 61.4 million viewers reached7.

o Elsewhere, more than 10 million viewers were reached7 in Japan (47.2m), Germany (projected 23.8m) the host country Canada (13.2m), France (12.1m), United Kingdom (11.9m), and Brazil (11.3m).

o A total of over 7,781 hours of FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM “DEDICATED COVERAGE” were broadcast in-home globally.

o The highest live ratings (“TVR%”) were produced by channels in Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Germany. The highest live match TVR% during the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM was achieved on RUV in Iceland for the USA v JPN final (14.6%), while NRK in Norway attracted a TVR figure of 12.6% for their live coverage of GER v NOR in the Group Stage. The Quarter-final match between Germany and France drew a live TVR of 10.4% on ZDF in Germany.

o The highest “MARKET SHARE” during the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM was achieved in Iceland, where live coverage of the USA v JPN final gained 87.9% of all television viewers in the timeslot (from 11pm-1am).

Host market Canada achieved the second highest percentage reach7 globally, 37.5% of the population (13.2m viewers). A record number of 3.2 million viewers tuned in to watch the Canadian Women’s national team Quarter-final against England on CTV4 and RDS4, setting a new Canadian record for the most-watched FIFA Women’s World Cup™ match ever.

Despite the substantial fall in coverage hours due to no coverage on SuperSport, the audience reach7 in South Africa has remained stable, only decreasing by 11,000 viewers. This is due to the national broadcaster SABC continuing to show coverage.

China achieved the highest audience reach7 globally with 80.4 million, which represents ¼ of the projected global reach7 of the event. Coverage broadcast on CCTV 58 and CCTV 5+8 attracted average live audiences of 1.1 million viewers. This is far higher than the figures achieved in 2011, given that in 2015 China was a participating nation and reached the Quarter-final.

Finalists Japan achieved the 3rd highest reach2 globally (47.2m), more than doubling the number of people reached2 in 2011. This can be attributed to the number of games shown on Fuji TV5: 7 (2015) vs. 3 (2011). An average audience of 11.6 million for the Final shown on Fuji TV5 surpassed the figures achieved four years ago for the same Final match up (10.4m) by 11.5%.

As Korea Republic was competing this year, the coverage, audience figures and reach2 have increased accordingly, owing largely to the broadcast of the games involving the home team.

Audience reach7 in France has nearly doubled thanks to extensive coverage on free-to-air television in 2015, as opposed to mainly Eurosport in 2011. The peak match audience of 4.1 million, for the Quarter-final match against Germany, broke the record for the highest rating of all time on W96 channel, as well as the highest ever DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) audience ever in France.

Audiences in Germany were naturally lower in comparison with 2011, given Germany were hosts then. However, relatively high audiences were still achieved. The Round of 16 GER v SWE live game was the leading sports broadcast on German television over the respective weekend (6.1m viewers), beating the German Men’s UEFA EURO Under-21 match (4.9m viewers) as well as the Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix Race (4.8m viewers). * Projected

Despite the time zone being far less favourable compared to the 2011 Germany tournament, Norway achieved the highest percentage audience reach7 globally, 45.8% of the population (2.1m viewers), largely thanks to the coverage more than doubling in hours compared to 2011.

Coverage hours in Sweden increased more than 7 times compared to 2011, due to extensive repeat coverage on TV4 Sport9. The peak match average audience was lower (1.1m vs. 1.7m), as expected given the time zone and Sweden exiting in the Round of 16 this year, as opposed to the Semi-final in 2011. * Projected

With the 2015 tournament being a major success for England team, securing 3rd place, the audience reach7 doubled compared to 2011, where England went out at the Quarter-final stage. BBC aired 11 live matches on main channels BBC110 and BBC210 in 2015, compared to just 1 in 2011.

The audience reach7 in Mexico has decreased in line with the slight decrease in average and peak audiences in comparison with 2011 – worth nothing the Copa America was taking place at the same time and in a similar time zone this time around.

FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ was a record breaking tournament in the USA. The Final was the most watched football match in USA history, watched by 25.4 million viewers on Fox2. This is far higher than the 18.2 million record set by USA v POR during last year’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ group stage match (22nd June 2014) by +39%.

Live match coverage on SBS in Australia nearly quadrupled compared to the 2011 edition (41 live games shown compared to only 11 in 2011), resulting in a reach7 of 1.8 million this time around. The average audience peaked at 345,000 people for the national team’s quarter-final match against Japan, despite the early kick off, 6am local time.

While the average audiences on SporTV11 remained relatively stable compared to 2011, the nearly 50% decrease in reach7 can be attributed to TV Bandeirantes12 only showing one Brazil match this year, as opposed to all 4 in 2011, as well as showing the three knock-out phase games on a delayed basis only (i.e. in the middle of the night). Again, worth nothing the Copa America was taking place at the same time and in a similar time zone this time around.

In-home data sources and methodology

The majority of schedules and programming were sourced from the official television auditing agencies in markets, or in some cases directly from the FIFA “MEDIA RIGHTS LICENSEES (MRLs)”. In addition, the current household penetration figures were confirmed via the same source for the majority of MRLs, or if this was not forthcoming, from either published data or via the Kantar Media and WPP network of offices. Furthermore, audience data, where available, has been gathered for each programme directly from MRLs. However, in some cases this has also been ordered from official television auditing agencies in the market.

It is worth noting that several territories have audience measurement panels which do not cover the entire territory. In such cases, the audiences are upweighted using the officially measured data in conjunction with population and television penetration information to account for the entire territory.

Where markets are able to split live coverage into pre-match, match and post-match and such coverage is of reasonable duration (more than three minutes), this has been displayed and analysed as separate highlights programming.

Where markets remain unrated, a methodology to “ESTIMATE AUDIENCES” was employed in each of the individual markets. This methodology is based on using the available data for licensees in the corresponding region as well as analysis based on a combination of the following variables:

o Household penetration of channel

o Day part (morning, afternoon, prime time, late night) o Type of coverage (live, delayed, repeat, highlights / magazine)

o Stage of competition (group match / round of 16 / quarter-finals / semi-finals / final; all live / delayed / repeat programming)

o Analysis of individual market (i.e. whether the market has a team competing in the tournament, whether the market has a team competing in the fixture, the level of interest in football within a market, etc.)

o Comparative audiences in the region

Overall the event proved more popular with men, with approximately 67% of the live match audience across 12 selected key markets being male. The only countries where this was not the case were Japan, Korea Republic, and South Africa.

Meanwhile, a number of markets attracted a slightly older audience to their live games, including Japan, Korea Republic, Spain, and UK, where more than half of the average audience was classified as ‘senior’. However, the live matches in markets such as Australia, Mexico, South Africa, and USA were watched by a far younger audience.

In addition to gender and age differences, the economic status of FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM viewers differed by market. Several markets attracted a more affluent viewer, particularly Australia and China, where more than a half of the live game audience were classified as high socio-economic status, class or household earnings. On the other hand, 64% of the average live audience in Mexico was of the low socio-economic status, while Spain stood out with 80% of the live average audience found in the Medium income cluster.

It is important to note that there are multiple factors that influence the live match profile of the viewers in each market, including time zone, channel platform, cost of access to channel, general interest in football as well as interest in the tournament itself (whether a team from the market is competing). In addition, the general population of a market will also have a bearing.

Non-TV Consumption of FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ In addition to the in-home and out-of-home television coverage considered, the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ enjoyed further distribution and usage via online, media players and apps.

There was more online coverage than any previous FIFA Women’s World Cup™ with 104 licensees offering FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ coverage via websites, media players and apps. Not only was there more coverage but there were also more people than ever watching via these channels.

Between 2011 and 2015, internet usage has grown by nearly 37%, to 3 billion people online in 2015. Alongside the growth in usage, there has also been a growth in accessing digital content and, in particular, streaming live content. Consumer surveys* suggest this has increased by 29% for online TV viewing and 102% for mobile TV viewing, which is not surprising given that broadband penetration, mobile device usage and internet speed have all increased in many of the more developed markets. Broadcasters are now able to provide a level of detail for digital media audience measurement that has not previously been available, and whilst this is not yet in the same level of detail on a global basis as for television, it does provide some data that allows Kantar to project the potential reach of dedicated FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ match content. Using online/mobile viewing data from 17 countries (all sourced directly from MRLs) and relating this back to the typical viewing patterns on TV, a projected 86 million people were reached by dedicated FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ match content online or on mobile, equating to 3% of the global internet population in 2015. 64 million of the total was generated within China by LETV. It is important to note that this does not account for shorter highlights or news clips and is purely based on official MRL data of match viewing. This is a conservative estimate given the relatively small amount of detailed data available. Some of the individual market highlights are shown below.

o In USA, FOX Sports GO2 set a new record with 232,000 unique viewers for the Final match. This was the largest authenticated streaming audience in FOX Sports GO2 history, beating the previous mark set by the USA v Germany semi-final (166,000 unique viewers). FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ matches now comprise FOX Sports GO2’s top 5 most-viewed events ever.

o Also in USA, via NBC Deportes3, a total of 1.5 million accesses to video streams were made across the whole of FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™. Consumption in USA was split quite evenly between PC’s/Laptops (52% on average) and Tablets/Phones (48% on average).

o 0.4 million accesses to match video content were made across the duration of the tournament across Canada via the TSN4 / CTV Go4 website and app. The best performing live match was the quarter-final match between England and Canada with 4,573 unique live video viewers.

o On average, 23% of the unique viewers of match footage were watching live in Canada, whilst the remaining 77% of unique viewers, on average, watched on demand.

o Reflecting the growing popularity of viewing live sport online in China, LeTV recorded 8.7 million unique live viewers for their coverage of the China v Cameroon Round of 16 match. This figure is equal to an impressive one third of the TV audience reached by the same match shown live by CCTV (based on 1+ minute reach, 26.26 million individuals.)

o Online coverage in Costa Rica, Mexico and Norway generated peak live match unique viewing figures of over 15,000. The highest of these was in Costa Rica, when 42,147 unique viewers tuned in to coverage of Spain v Costa Rica in the Group Stage. Whilst in Mexico, a high of 31,500 watched Colombia v Mexico live.

The same assumption of airing only national team live matches was made for free-to-air channels in Cameroon and Ivory Coast

With projected out-of-home* viewing in the US (measured by Nielsen) the Fox2 viewership figure was estimated to rise to nearly 31 million viewers.

Glossary of terms Audience reach: the net number of unique individuals that watched an event for a minimum of a stated number of consecutive minutes. For the purposes of this report, 20 consecutive minutes has been used, as a recognised industry standard for engagement with football, however three minute reach has also been quoted throughout.

Average audience: in audited markets, an audience is measured each minute throughout the day. The average audience is the sum of each audience for each minute during a broadcast, divided by the duration of coverage in minutes.

Channel(s): the television station which the Media Rights Licensee used to show the event in-home.

Dedicated coverage: the television time the event is aired for, based on specific devoted event coverage including live games, repeats, event highlights and magazine shows. Dedicated coverage therefore excludes clips shown in news bulletins and in non-dedicated magazine coverage such as FIFA Futbol Mundial or World Sport.

Estimated audience: as many markets remain unaudited around the globe, estimated audiences are employed to predict the audience for coverage. For this event, the methodology outlined in the “In-home data sources and methodology” section was used.

In-home viewing: the audience measurement based on all viewers from within the home, including guests.

Market Share %: the audience expressed as a percentage of the total viewing audience watching television during a particular time period

Media Rights Licensee (MRL): an organisation which has been granted certain media rights to the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015TM in relation to the live and continuous transmission of the international TV signal of each match in a particular territory or territories.

Peak average audience: the highest average audience of any single programme from all broadcasts.

Peak match audience: the highest match audience, where all programmes for a match are considered (i.e. all live, delayed and repeat programmes).

TVR%: the audience expressed as a share of the total possible television viewers in a particular market.

Unique Visitors: the number of different people who access the video content. It is based upon one or more of the following types of information garnered from visitors: their IP address, their member name (if the particular site uses membership or if the visitor is part of a commercial service’s panel), or their “cookies” (personal identification information).
