 DISH SEGMENT — PAY-TV METRICS Pay-TV Gro DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15 Pay-TV Net Additions DISH lost approximately 23,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during 3Q15, compared to the loss of approximately 12,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during 3Q14. The decrease in net Pay-TV subscriber additions versus the same period in 2014 resulted from a higher Pay-TV churn rate discussed below, partially offset by higher gross new Pay- TV subscriber activations, primarily related to the activation of Sling TV subscribers, which are reported net of disconnects. Our Sling domestic service was launched on February 9, 2015. Pay-TV Gross Activations During 3Q15, DISH activated approximately 751,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers compared to approximately 691,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers during 3Q14, an increase of 8.7%. The increase in our gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations primarily related to the activation of Sling TV subscribers, which are reported net of disconnects, partially offset by stricter customer acquisition policies for our DISH branded pay-TV subscribers and increased competitive pressures, including aggressive marketing, more aggressive retention efforts, bundled discount offers combining broadband, video and/or wireless services and other discounted promotional offers. Pay-TV Churn Rate Our Pay-TV churn rate for 3Q15 was 1.86% compared to 1.67% during 3Q14. Our Pay-TV churn rate increased during 3Q15 as a result of increased competitive pressures, including aggressive marketing, bundled discount offers combining broadband, video and/or wireless services and other 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, the level of our retention efforts and cord cutting. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15

 DISH SEGMENT — PAY-TV METRICS-CONTINUED P TV ARPU DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15 Pay-TV Subscribers DISH ended 3Q15 with 13.909 million Pay-TV subscribers compared to 14.041 million Pay-TV subscribers at the end of 3Q14. Pay-TV ARPU Pay-TV average monthly revenue per subscriber (Pay-TV ARPU) was $86.33 during 3Q15 versus $84.39 during 3Q14. The $1.94 or 2.3% increase in Pay-TV ARPU was primarily attributable to the DISH branded pay-TV programming package price increases in February 2015 and 2014, partially offset by a shift in DISH branded pay- TV programming package mix, an increase in retention credits and an increase in Sling TV subscribers. Sling TV subscribers generally have lower priced programming packages than DISH branded pay-TV subscribers. Accordingly, for 3Q15, 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 $736 during 3Q15 compared to $861 during 3Q14, a decrease of $125 or 14.5%. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in Sling TV subscriber activations and a decrease in advertising costs per activation. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15

 DISH SEGMENT — BROADBAND METRICS DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15 Broadband Net Additions DISH added approximately 13,000 net Broadband subscribers during 3Q15, compared to the addition of approximately 28,000 net Broadband subscribers during 3Q14. This decrease in net Broadband subscriber additions versus 3Q14 resulted from lower gross new Broadband subscriber activations and a higher number of customer disconnects. Broadband Gross Activations During 3Q15 and 3Q14, DISH activated approximately 66,000 and 72,000 gross new Broadband subscribers, respectively. Gross new Broadband subscriber activations declined primarily due to stricter customer acquisition policies and satellite capacity constraints in certain geographic areas. Customer disconnects were higher primarily due to a larger Broadband subscriber base during 3Q15 compared to 3Q14. Broadband Subscribers DISH ended 3Q15 with 608,000 Broadband subscribers compared to 553,000 Broadband subscribers at the end of 3Q14. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15

 SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15 Subscriber-Related Revenue Subscriber-related revenue totaled $3.704 billion for 3Q15, an increase of $56 million or 1.5% compared to 3Q14. The change in Subscriber-related revenue from 3Q14 was primarily related to the increase in Pay-TV ARPU discussed previously, partially offset by a lower average Pay-TV subscriber base. Included in Subscriber- related revenue was $110 million and $98 million of revenue related to our broadband services for 3Q15 and 3Q14, respectively, representing 3.0% and 2.7% of our total Subscriber-related revenue, respectively. Subscriber-Related Expenses Subscriber-related expenses totaled $2.182 billion during 3Q15, an increase of $50 million or 2.3% compared to 3Q14. The increase in Subscriber-related expenses was primarily attributable to higher programming costs and higher Broadband subscriber-related expenses due to the increase in our Broadband subscriber base, partially offset by a decrease in variable and retention costs per subscriber and a lower average Pay-TV subscriber base. 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 $196 million during 3Q15 compared to $146 million for 3Q14. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15

EBITDA is defined as “Net income (loss) attributable to DISH Network” plus “Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized” net of “Interest income,” “Income tax (provision) benefit, net” and “Depreciation and amortization.” EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is used as a measurement of operating efficiency and overall financial performance and we believe it to be a helpful measure for those evaluating companies in the pay-TV industry. Conceptually, EBITDA measures the amount of income generated each period that could be used to service debt, pay taxes and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY-3Q15
