Discovery Communications Statement Regarding Brexit Vote
LONDON, June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Communications (Nasdaq: DISCA, DISCB, DISCK) today issued the following statement on the U.K. Brexit vote.
Discovery Communications respects the decision of the U.K. people in this historic vote to leave the European Union. Discovery Channel launched in the U.K. in 1989 and since then it has become one of our biggest markets and a critical creative and business hub. As a global company with a significant presence in 220 markets, we are accustomed to operating in an industry and a world where change is constant. We will work closely with U.K. and E.U. leaders to successfully navigate this change and find new opportunities to shape our future. In the short-term and medium-term, our currency hedging program will significantly minimize the foreign exchange impact of the Brexit vote on our financial performance.
