In the report, the analyst notes:

"DTV's second-quarter revenues of $5.22 billion increased 9% over the same period last year principally due to strong subscriber growth at DIRECTV U.S. and DIRECTV Latin America. Operating profit before depreciation and amortization increased 2% to $1.38 billion primarily due to the gross profit associated with the higher revenues partially offset by higher acquisition costs related to the increase in gross subscriber additions, higher subscriber services costs associated with service quality improvement initiatives, and increased upgrade and retention costs at DIRECTV U.S.

"DTV announced last month that its subsidiaries, DIRECTV Holdings LLC and DIRECTV Financing Co. Inc., have completed their previously announced $2.0 billion debt financing. This financing consists of $1.0 billion in 4-3/4% senior notes due 2014 and $1.0 billion in 5-7/8% senior notes due 2019. The net proceeds of this financing are available for general corporate purposes and for the repurchase of their existing 8-3/8% Senior Notes due 2013 pursuant to a tender offer announced by the Company on September 14, 2009."
