  Project Moab at Hulu

  C. Fritz Foley and James Weber

  In 2015, Elaine Paul, CFO of Hulu, and the rest of the senior leadership team, must decide if they should offer a new, advertisement-free subscription service. At the time Hulu distributed a wide variety of content including in season current programing and earned significant revenues from advertising. This choice had strategic implications and required formulating a view on how the video-on-demand industry would evolve. It also had value implications that can be analyzed in a subscriber-valuation model. The owners of Hulu, which included Disney and Fox, would ultimately need to approve whatever decision was made.
