Pandora Media Inc. December 6, 2016

Company Description
Pandora is an Internet radio service primarily in the U.S. with an evolving service offering in New Zealand, and Australia and
their associated territories. The service has over 78 million monthly active users, 100 million users every three months that
listen for an average of 23 hours a month, and close to 4 million paying subscribers to its subscription ad-free service.
Pandora also owns Ticketfly, a live events ticketing company, which it purchased on October 31, 2015 and is in the process
of launching an on-demand music streaming subscription service. Pandora was founded in 1999 by Timothy Westergren
(recently returned to Pandora as CEO), along with two co-founders: Will Glaser and Jon Kraft. It was incorporated in 2000
and is headquartered in Oakland, California. The company commenced its non-subscription, ad-supported radio service in
2005 and since then listeners have created over 9 billion stations. The Company went public on the New York Stock
Exchange on June 15th, 2011 at $16 per share. Pandora was originally named Savage Beast Technologies.

Investment Thesis
We are initiating coverage of Pandora with a Buy rating and a $16 price target, for upside of ~23%. While our recent bullish
stance on Pandora was somewhat tempered by the 3Q report that missed expectations and saw 2016 guidance reduced, we
see upside to owning the shares at these levels due to our expectations for a successful on-demand service and the potential
for an acquisition.

Reasons To Buy
On-Demand Launch Coming 2017 (Previewed Today). A beta product of the on-demand service should be launched this
month and is being previewed at an event this evening in New York City. A full launch is expected in January 2017. Pandora
was driven to create an on-demand service to recapture the 35% of churned users who moved on to existing on-demand
services in the market. We understand that the product is differentiated from the incumbent on-demand services with
Pandora leveraging years of data science on users’ listener patterns to create a superior listener experience, including off-
line listening. Further, management should be able to launch the service without spending significant incremental marketing
dollars. We believe that the market for paid online streaming will grow fast and Pandora will be one of the primary
beneficiaries when they launch the on-demand service. We see an increasing willingness for users to pay $120 per-year to
stream music, even amongst millennials. Competition is intense with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Amazon entering
the space to grab share. However, we continue to believe that the presence of these competitors is expanding the online
streaming marketing, particularly, on-demand, and there are millions more potential users who have yet to sign on to pay
for music. In that vein, we believe Pandora’s on-demand service, could expand quickly and gain share.

Buy For The Eventual Acquisition. Earlier this year the New York Times reported that Pandora had engaged investment bankers to
pursue a sale. Activist investor Keith Meister of Corvex, suggested in a May 16, 2016 letter to the Board of Directors that
Pandora hire new investment bankers with a “fresh perspective” to consider “value maximization,” including a sale of the
company. Liberty Media has made public its interest in acquiring Pandora although it has also publicly voiced disagreement
with Pandora’s decision to pursue the on-demand service. We understand that the offer put forth by Liberty earlier this year
was for $15 per Pandora share. This past Friday, it was widely reported that Liberty has again approached the board
regarding a potential acquisition. We continue to give credence to the acquisition story, given the rich technology, the UI,
and the large user base. In addition to Liberty, we believe Live Nation could be interested, and while Google has built out
YouTube Red, we think the addition of Pandora would accelerate their online streaming efforts. At the current peer group
2017 EV/Sales, Pandora would fetch at least $17 per-share in an acquisition. While it is well known that Pandora’s CEO is
remains reticent to a sale, we think all the signs point to an eventual sale.

If Management Executes Against Plan – Shares Worth ~$29. Pandora’s new model which now includes the core ad-
supported radio service, the coming Pandora Premium on-demand service, Pandora Plus, and Ticketing reduces the risk of
dependency on the core business to drive shareholder value. Moreover, there are natural synergies across the three major
business models that should help increase the value of the whole. Management has outlined what we think are ambitious
goals across all four business lines for 2020 – we say ambitious because we are not modeling towards those numbers.
However, to illustrate the upside if they were in fact to pull it off, we valued each business individually using a sum-of-the
parts valuation. The exercise highlights value near $29 per share based on what we think are reasonable EBITDA margins and

Risks
Competition. Competition in online streaming, and on-demand streaming in particular, continues to grow. Spotify recently announced
surpassing 40M subscribers, Apple Music in its short existence has 17M subscribers, Tidal is getting aggressive in the space with exclusive
content, YouTube/Google Play is becoming increasingly relevant in addition to launching the YouTube Red service, and SoundCloud has
175M users globally. Pandora may be forced to increase marketing to offset those competitive challenges, which may put pressure on its
goal of achieving 15% operating margins in 2020.

Relationships With Labels. Pandora’s relationships with the top music labels could sour in the future or could become less economical
when contracts are up for renegotiation. That could put pressure on long-term gross margins and operating margin targets.

Execution Risks. High execution risks from juggling multiple investments: the core advertising-supported service, the Pandora Plus ad-
free subscription service, the forthcoming on-demand service, international expansion, and expanding the ticketing service.

surpassing 40M subscribers, Apple Music in its short existence has 17M subscribers, Tidal is getting aggressive in the space with exclusive
content, YouTube/Google Play is becoming increasingly relevant in addition to launching the YouTube Red service, and SoundCloud
has 175M users globally.
Relationships With Labels. Pandora’s relationships with the top music labels could sour in the future or could become less economical
when contracts are up for renegotiation.
Execution Risks. High execution risks from juggling multiple investments : the existing lean-back service, the forthcoming on-demand
service, international expansion, and expanding the ticketing service.
