   Amsterdam, The Netherlands and London, UK – Jetix Europe N.V. (Jetix Europe or the Company, “we”, “our”), formerly Fox Kids Europe N.V., (AMEX: JETIX; Reuters JETIX.AS; Bloomberg: JETIX.NA), a leading pan-European integrated kids’ entertainment company, today announced its financial results for the year ended September 30, 2006. Revenue increased by 12%, compared with the year ended September 30, 2005, to €162.8 million and net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 285% to €23.4 million. Subscribers increased by 5.0 million to 46.8 million households in 58 countries as at September 30, 2006.
   
   Paul Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, said “I am very pleased to announce strong full-year results for 2006. This year we have continued to pursue our long term strategic objectives, and we have made significant progress. The Jetix alliance with The Walt Disney Company (Disney), our content and our brand continue to be the core strategic assets of our business.
   
   The Jetix brand alliance with Disney has continued to develop this year. I am delighted that several Jetix Europe productions/co-productions have been sold to Disney ABC Cable Networks Group in the US. They have acquired Oban-Star Racers, Pucca and A.T.O.M. Alpha Teens on Machines and are airing these shows in the Jetix branded block on the Toon Disney channel. We have also continued our content creation partnership with Disney. During the year we jointly commissioned, Yin Yang Yo!, which is produced by Disney’s Jetix Animation Concepts division. This has recently begun airing in the US, and on launch was the number one show on the Jetix block.
   
   Content is central to all of our operations, and this year we have taken delivery of a strong slate of programming. Power Rangers has continued to maintain its popularity on our channels, and the benefits of this can be seen in its strong free-to-air television sales, and in the continued revenue growth of this exceptional consumer products property. Pucca, which was originally a consumer products property, has now been made into a television series, and we have just commissioned a second season. Our epic co-production Oban-Star Racers is beginning to air on our channel network and on free-to-air television across Europe. A.T.O.M. Alpha Teens on Machines and Sonic X have also continued to impress this year, with Jetix Europe benefiting from selling master toy licences on both properties.
   
   The Jetix brand is now in its second full year of operations across all of our activities, and has continued to build its market presence with both our audiences and our commercial partners. We believe that Jetix is now widely recognised as one of the leading brands in the European kids’ entertainment market.
   
   During the year, we have continued to secure the long-term distribution of our television channels, most notably through the early renewal of our Sky deal in the UK which we announced in our interim results. We have also significantly increased our focus on developing new means of delivering our content to our audiences, taking advantage of the rapid technological developments being seen across the media industry. We remain committed to our long term strategy of delivering great content to our audiences, whenever and wherever they wish.
   
   As part of this strategy, we have developed an advertiser supported broadband video service, which allows content to be viewed from our websites. The first country to launch this service was the Netherlands, and they have already streamed over 4 million pieces of content since the service was launched in June.
   
   Alongside our television content, we reach our audience in a wide range of different ways. Our consumer products division has continued to develop, expanding into new product categories and securing home entertainment deals in new markets. Power Rangers, represented by Disney Consumer Products, has again been a notable success, with strong growth against the prior year. We have also continued to build our reach online, with a significantly increased number of visitors to our websites, and we have increased our print presence with the launch of a new magazine in Spain.
   
   Overall, we have had a strong year. As the kids’ entertainment market continues to change rapidly, our powerful brand, large audience, geographical reach, mix of businesses and the alliance with our parent company, The Walt Disney Company, leave us well positioned for the future, as one of the leading European kids’ entertainment companies.”
   
   Dene Stratton, Chief Financial Officer, said “We are delighted to have achieved solid revenue, EBITDA and operating income growth in 2006, which meets or exceeds the guidance that we gave last year. Operating cash flow was adversely affected by paying down net related party liabilities to our parent company. I am particularly pleased with the performance of our consumer products division, which grew top line revenue by more than 60%.
   
   This is the first full year in which the Company has prepared financial information under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The transition to IFRS has changed the reported profitability of the Company, but has not impacted the underlying economics of the business or its ability to generate cash.”
   
   OPERATING REVIEW
   
   Channels and Online
   
   • Continues to reach one of the largest kids’ audiences across Europe and the Middle East
   o Channels broadcasting in 58 countries and 18 languages via 15 channel feeds
   o Subscribers grew by 12% to 46.8 million
   o Sky distribution deal extended in the UK
   o Jetix Kids Cup international final held in Germany during FIFA World Cup
   • Developing new opportunities to reach our audience through digital media
   o Average of over 100 million page views per month on our websites
   o Jetix advertising supported broadband video service launched through our website in the Netherlands
   
   Our strategy is to deliver great content which our audience loves, aggregated under the Jetix brand, whenever and wherever they wish. At present, our leading distribution mechanism is the network of Jetix branded kids television channels which we run across Europe and the Middle East. This channel network delivers the majority of our audience, and our revenue, and we expect this to continue in the short to medium term. However, alongside this channel network, we are also capturing the opportunities emerging from developments in technology, which allow us to reach our audience in new ways and in new places. Many of these markets are currently small, although some are growing rapidly with kids often driving their development.
   
   Our network remains one of the most widely distributed kids’ channels in Europe and the Middle Ea

   RTRS-Meer winst Jetix Europe
   AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De kinderzender Jetix Europe heeft zijn
   gebroken boekjaar afgesloten met een hogere winst en meer omzet.
   Het bedrijf heeft de betere resultaten onder meer te danken aan
   een toename van het aantal abonnees.
   
   Dat maakte het bedrijf, voor ongeveer drie kwart in handen
   van het Amerikaanse entertainmentconcern Walt Disney, dinsdag
   bekend. De nettowinst steeg van 6,4 miljoen euro naar 23,4
   miljoen, mede door een boekwinst uit wisselkoersverschillen. In
   het boekjaar 2005/2006, dat eind september afliep, steeg de
   omzet 12 procent tot 162,8 miljoen euro.

   Jetix Europe boekt 285% hogere winst in 2005/0628 nov 2006, 08:39 uur
   Amsterdam (BETTEN BEURSMEDIA NEWS) - Jetix Europe, uitbater van kindertelevisiekanalen in Europa, heeft in het op 30 september 2006 afgesloten boekjaar 2005/06 een nettowinst behaald van EUR 23,4 miljoen. Dit is een stijging van 285% vergeleken met de EUR 6,1 miljoen behaald in dezelfde periode vorig jaar. Dat heeft het bedrijf dinsdag bekendgemaakt.
   
   De onderneming wist het bedrijfsresultaat met 535% te vergroten, van EUR 2,9 miljoen tot EUR 18,4 miljoen. Jetix Europe betaalde in het afgelopen gebroken boekjaar EUR 6,6 miljoen aan belastingen, terwijl het daarmee een jaar eerder maar EUR 993.000 kwijt was.
   
   De omzet nam toe met 12% van EUR 145,3 miljoen tot EUR 162,8 miljoen, terwijl het bedrijfsresultaat voor amortisatie en afschrijvingen (EBITDA) steeg met 27% tot EUR 62,4 miljoen. Het aantal abonnees nam in het afgelopen boekjaar toe met 5,0 miljoen tot 46,8 miljoen huishoudens.
   
   Jetix Europe verwacht heel volgend jaar een lage enkelcijferige omzetgroei en een midden enkelcijferige stijging van het EBITDA. De omzetgroei zal beperkt zijn door een structurele verandering in het 'Power Rangers'-contract met DCP, 'uitdagende advertentiemarkten' in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Nederland en het effect van de verlenging van het contract met Sky in het VK.
   
   Daarnaast verwacht Jetix dat de operationele winst wellicht negatief beinvloed wordt door een toename in de afschrijving op programma's, vanwege het grote aantal afleveringen die dit jaar zijn afgeleverd, vergeleken met 2005.
   
   Jetix Europe, voor zo'n 75% in handen van Walt Disney en voor 10,1% eigendom van John de Mol, zendt in 58 landen en 18 talen uit via 15 kanalen. Volgens het bedrijf was er vooral groei in het aantal abonnees in Centraal- en Oost-Europa. Ook in Scandinavie was een sterke abonneegroei te zien, door nieuwe distributie-overeenkomsten. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Duitsland bleef het aantal bereikte huishoudens vlak.

   RTRS-Jetix Europe overweegt uitkering dividend
   AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De kinderzender Jetix Europe overweegt
   zijn aandeelhouders over het huidige boekjaar dividend uit te
   keren. Het bedrijf heeft zijn financiële positie de afgelopen
   jaren steeds verder versterkt en is schuldenloos.
   
   ,,Het uitkeren van dividend is een van de opties'', zei
   bestuursvoorzitter Paul Taylor. ,,Het terugkopen van aandelen
   acht ik veel onwaarschijnlijker.''
   
   Jetix Europe is voor ongeveer drie kwart in handen van het
   Amerikaanse entertainmentconcern Walt Disney. ,,Mochten we tot
   dividend besluiten, dan moeten onze aandeelhouders daar ook mee
   instemmen'', aldus Taylor.
