Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of

Viacom 401(k) Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Viacom 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

VIACOM 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in thousands)

NOTE 1—PLAN DESCRIPTION

Viacom Inc. (“Viacom” or the “Company”) established the Viacom 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), effective on January 1, 2006.

The following is a brief description of the Plan and is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the Plan document and the Summary Plan Description made available to them for more complete information regarding the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the following description and the Plan document, the Plan document will control.

The Plan, sponsored by the Company, is a defined contribution plan offered to substantially all of the Company’s employees. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and is administered by the Viacom Retirement Committee, the members of which are appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of Viacom. Prior to September 12, 2012, members were appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or its designee.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”) is the trustee and custodian of the Plan and JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services LLC (“JPM RPS”) is the recordkeeper for the Plan.

Related Party Transactions

Certain investments for the Plan are invested in funds managed by affiliates of the Trustee, and are considered a “party-in-interest” as such term is defined in ERISA. In addition, certain Plan investments are in shares of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company and qualify as a party-in-interest. The fair value of these investments was $78.6 million and $76.4 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, these investments appreciated $11.6 million related to the net of realized and unrealized gains and losses, and earned dividends of $1.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Plan sold shares of Viacom Class A and Class B common stock for total proceeds of $16.3 million and purchased shares of Viacom Class B common stock at a cost of $6.9 million.

Eligibility

Eligible full-time employees may become participants in the Plan following the attainment of age 21. Eligible part-time employees generally participate in the Plan on the first of the month after attainment of age 21 and completion of one thousand hours of service within the consecutive twelve-month period beginning with their date of hire or within any plan year (January 1 through December 31) thereafter.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, applicable employer contributions and the participant’s share of the Plan’s income or losses in the investment options selected, net of certain plan expenses.

Plan participants have the option of investing their contributions and existing account balances among twenty investment options. These investment options include separately managed investment portfolios, common/collective trust funds, registered investment companies (mutual funds) and Viacom Class B common stock. Some plan participants are invested in Viacom Class A common stock, but that fund is closed to new investment. The securities held by these investment options are described in greater detail in Note 3.

Contributions

Participants are permitted to contribute up to 50% of annual compensation, on a before-tax basis, subject to applicable Code limitations discussed below. Participants may also contribute eligible rollover amounts into the Plan.

 

4


VIACOM 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in thousands)

 

Any eligible employee is deemed to have authorized the Company to make before-tax contributions to the Plan in an amount equal to 6% of the employee’s eligible compensation upon his or her date of hire. Deemed authorization takes effect following the 30th day the employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan unless the employee elects not to participate in the Plan or to participate at a different contribution rate.

The Code limited the amount of annual participant contributions that can be made on a before-tax basis to $17,000 for 2012. Compensation considered under the Plan based on Code limits could not exceed $250,000 for 2012. The Code also limited annual aggregate participant and employer contributions to the lesser of $50,000 or 100% of compensation in 2012. In 2012, the Plan utilized a safe harbor design for compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements applicable to deferrals and matching contributions in accordance with the provisions of the Code.

All participants who have attained age 50 before the close of the calendar year are eligible to make catch-up contributions if the participants made the maximum contribution permitted under the Plan for a plan year. The limit for catch-up contributions was $5,500 in 2012.

The employer matching contribution is equal to 100% of the first 1% and 50% of the next 5% of eligible compensation contributed and employer matching contributions are invested according to the participant’s investment elections. Catch-up contributions are not treated as matchable contributions except when required by law.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company increased the employer match to equal 100% of the first 1% and 80% of the next 5% of eligible compensation contributed. Additionally, the Company introduced a target annual profit-sharing contribution of 1.5% of eligible compensation, but may make a lower or higher contribution (not anticipated to be in excess of 3% of eligible compensation) depending on circumstances. Company profit-sharing contributions are always completely discretionary, meaning they are not guaranteed and may not be made in any given year. Participants must be employed on the last day of the plan year and meet all other eligibility requirements in order to receive a Company profit-sharing contribution.

Vesting

Participants in the Plan are immediately vested in their own contributions and earnings thereon. Employer matching contributions vest at 100% after two years of service. In the case of a participant who was an employee on March 31, 2009, employer matching contributions vested at 20% after one year of service and 100% after two years of service. Transition rules apply to participants of plans that were merged into the Plan.

If participants terminate employment prior to being vested in their employer matching contributions, upon distribution of the vested portion of their account, the non-vested portion of their account is forfeited and may be applied to future employer matching contributions and/or to pay administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had forfeitures of approximately $0.3 million available to be used as noted above, which includes interest earned on forfeitures of approximately $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had forfeitures of approximately $0.5 million available to be used as noted above. Employer matching contributions of approximately $0.6 million were forfeited in 2012 and the Company utilized forfeitures of approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million in 2012 to pay administrative expenses and employer matching contributions, respectively.

Profit-sharing contributions for 2013 and future years will vest in accordance with the rules applicable to matching contributions.

Participant Loans Receivable

Participants may request a loan of up to the lesser of 50% of the participant’s vested account balance or $50,000, reduced by the highest outstanding balance of any Plan loan made to the participant during the twelve-month period ending on the day before the loan is made. The minimum loan available to a participant is $500. The interest rate on participant loans is one percentage point above the annual prime commercial rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) on the first day of the calendar month in which the loan is approved, with principal and interest payable not less than quarterly through payroll deductions. Only one loan may be outstanding at any time. Participants may elect repayment periods from 12 to 60 months commencing as soon as administratively possible following the distribution of the loan. The Plan allows participants to elect a repayment period of up to 300 months for loans used for the acquisition of a principal residence. Repayments of loan principal and interest are allocated in accordance with the participant’s then current investment elections.

Included in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits are Participant loans receivable of $10.6 million and $10.0 million, which carried interest rates ranging from 3.25% to 12.0%, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Distributions and Withdrawals

Earnings on both employee and employer contributions are not subject to income tax until they are distributed or withdrawn from the Plan.

Participants in the Plan, or their beneficiaries, may receive their vested account balances in a lump sum or in installments over a period of up to 20 years in the event of retirement, termination of employment, disability or death. A participant must receive a required minimum distribution no later than the April 1st after the year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2 unless he/she is still employed. Installment payments to beneficiaries are available only if the participant was receiving installment payments at the time of death.

Participants in the Plan may withdraw certain eligible contributions at any time. Upon attainment of age 59  1/2, participants may withdraw all or part of their vested account. The Plan limits participants to a maximum of two non-hardship withdrawals in each calendar year.

A participant may obtain a financial hardship withdrawal of the employee’s before-tax contributions provided that the requirements for hardship are met and only to the extent required to relieve such financial hardship. Additionally, the vested portion of employer matching contributions through December 31, 2009, vested profit-sharing contributions and certain predecessor plan contributions may be used toward a financial hardship withdrawal. There is no restriction on the number of hardship withdrawals permitted.

When a participant terminates employment with the Company, the full value of the employee contributions and earnings thereon plus the value of all vested employer contributions and earnings thereon can be rolled over to a tax qualified retirement plan or an Individual Retirement Account or remain in the Plan rather than being distributed. If the vested account balance is $1,000 or less and the participant does not make an election to roll over the vested balance, it will be automatically paid in a single lump sum cash payment and taxes will be withheld from the distribution.

Plan Expenses

The Plan document permits Plan expenses to be paid from Plan forfeitures, from participant accounts or by the Company. The fees for investment of Plan assets are charged to the Plan’s investment funds, as reflected in the net asset value of the fund. Certain administrative expenses, such as legal, accounting and recordkeeping fees, may be paid by the Plan using forfeitures as described above or may be paid by the Company. Recordkeeping

fees may also be paid from participant accounts. Trustee and custodian fees are paid from participant accounts. For 2012, $1.0 million was paid to JPM RPS for recordkeeping services.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Securities Transactions

Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. The average cost basis is used to determine gains or losses on dispositions of securities.

Interest income is accrued as earned and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Included in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is the net appreciation in the fair value of the Plan’s investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan’s management to make estimates and assumptions, such as those regarding the fair value of investments, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Fair Value Measurements and Income Recognition

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the FASB guidance are described as follows:

 

   

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

 

   

Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

7


VIACOM 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in thousands)

 

   

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation methodology used for assets measured at fair value including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Common Stocks: Common stocks are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices on national securities exchanges. All common stocks are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Common/Collective Trust Funds: The fair values of investments in common/collective trust funds are based on their net asset values (“NAV”) reported by the investment advisor in the financial statements of the common/collective trusts at year-end. Each common/collective trust provides for daily participant redemptions by the Plan at reported net asset values per share, with no advance notice requirement. The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active and classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Registered Investment Companies (Mutual Funds): Investments in registered investment companies are stated at the respective funds’ NAV, which is determined based on market values at the closing price on the last business day of the year. The NAV is a quoted price in an active market and classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts: The fair value of the synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) is based on the underlying investments. The underlying investments are common/collective trust funds, which are public investment vehicles, valued at the NAV as described above. Because the NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active, they are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The related wrapper contracts have a fair value of $22,788 and $41,474 at December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. The wrapper contracts are valued by INVESCO, the administrator of the fund using other significant observable inputs in a valuation model and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. See Note 8 for further information on INVESCO and these contracts.

U.S. Government Securities: Short-term money market obligations are valued at $1.00 per share and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in thousands)

 

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s investments at fair value as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. In 2011, certain investment funds were replaced with JP Morgan Smart Retirement funds to offer retirement date target funds to employees. As a result of the change, Level 2 investments increased to 70% of total investments as of December 31, 2011. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments in 2012. The Plan has no investments classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

NOTE 4—RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investment options that, along with the underlying securities, are exposed to various risks such as market, interest rate, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of such securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

NOTE 6—INCOME TAX STATUS

On October 9, 2008, the Plan received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and that the trust thereunder is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. The IRS review is required every five years to preserve and protect the Plan’s tax-qualified status. Although the IRS has previously reviewed and approved the tax-qualified status of the Plan, the Plan was submitted on January 31, 2013 to the IRS under the normal five-year cycle for a determination that the Plan continues to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, and that the trust thereunder is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. However, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Code.

As of December 31, 2012, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax year in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

NOTE 7—TERMINATION PRIORITIES

Although the Company anticipates that the Plan will continue indefinitely, it reserves the right by action of the Board of Directors to amend or terminate the Plan provided that such action does not retroactively reduce earned participant benefits. In the event of Plan termination, participants become fully vested. Upon termination, the Plan provides that the net assets of the Plan would be distributed to participants based on their respective account balances.

NOTE 8—INVESTMENT IN FULLY BENEFIT-RESPONSIVE INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

The Plan accounts for guaranteed investment contracts in accordance with the accounting and reporting guidance related to Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans. Contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for plan benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts through the INVESCO Fund (the “Fund”). As required by the guidance, the guaranteed investment contracts are presented on the face of the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits at fair value with an adjustment to contract value in arriving at net assets available for benefits. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

The Fund invests primarily in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts in a wrapper contract structure (also known as synthetic GICs). In a wrapper contract structure, the underlying investments are owned by the Fund and held in trust for plan participants and are of high quality fixed income securities or investment funds. The Fund purchases a wrapper contract from an insurance company or bank. The wrapper contract amortizes the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying fixed income investments, typically over the expected duration of the investment through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate (which is the rate earned by participants in the fund for the underlying investments which resets on a monthly basis). The issuer of the wrapper contract provides assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero. An interest crediting rate less than zero would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.

The key factors that influence future interest crediting rates for a wrapper contract include: the level of market interest rates, the amount and timing of participant activity into/out of the wrapper contract, the investment returns generated by the fixed income investments that back the wrapper contract, and the duration of the underlying investments backing the wrapper contract.

Changes in market interest rates affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investments; therefore, they can have a material impact on the wrapper contract’s interest crediting rate. In addition, participant withdrawals and transfers from the Fund are paid at contract value but funded through the market value liquidation of the underlying investments, which also impacts the interest credit rating. The resulting gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the wrapper contract value are represented on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as the Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. If the adjustment from fair value to contract value is positive for a given contract, this indicates that the wrapper contract value is greater than the market value of the underlying investments. The embedded market value losses will be amortized in the future through a lower interest crediting rate than would otherwise be the case. If the adjustment from fair value to contract value is negative, this indicates that the wrapper contract value is less than the market value of the underlying investments. The amortization of the embedded market value gains will cause the future interest crediting rate to be higher than it otherwise would have been.

All wrapper contracts provide for a minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent. In the event that the interest crediting rate should fall to zero and the requirements of the wrapper contract are satisfied, the wrapper issuers will pay to the Plan the shortfall needed to maintain the interest crediting rate at zero. This ensures that participants’ principal and accrued interest are protected.
