Notes:

• Information was pulled from a combination of SEC filings, Trending Schedules and WWE Investor Presentations
• Note that while all periods are 12 months, 2006 is represented twice - a FY2006 (May 2005-April 2006) and a CY2006 (Jan 2006-Dec 2006)
• In 2013 the company switched from EBITDA to OIBDA but retained the same calculation. Profit Contribution was not listed on the 2013 Trending Schedule.
• Various charges 
• XFL and The World: $1.4M (FY2004), $35.6M (FY2003), $0.3M (FY2002), $48.5M (FY2001), $0.7M (FY2000)
• Hotel/Casino: bought $10.9M (FY1999), sold $11.3M (FY2000)
• WWE Studios: $11.7M (CY2013), $1.3M (CY2012), $23.4M (CY2011), $1.9M (CY2008), $15.7M (CY2007)
• Reversal of accrued licensing agent commissions: -$7.9M (FY2004)
• Legal Settlements: $7.0M (FY2001), $6.2M (FY2003), -$5.9M (FY2004)
• Early Termination of Office Space Lease: $0.7M (FY2003)
• On the 2/20/14 Conference Call, CFO George Barrios noted that WWE had spent about $12M on WWE Network development in 2013 which along with the film impairment charges is likely what drove the major dip in EBITDA/OIBDA and Net Income in 2013.

Notes:

• Information was pulled from a combination of SEC filings, Trending Schedules and WWE Investor Presentations
• Note that while all periods are 12 months, 2006 is represented twice - a FY2006 (May 2005-April 2006) and a CY2006 (Jan 2006-Dec 2006)
• I would recommend looking at TV Rights+Advertising together.  TV Rights represent both domestic and international TV Rights deals.
• Merchandise is a combination of Venue Merchandise and WWEShop and Catalog Sales
• Licensing + Other is Licensing plus Consumer Products Other
• WWE 24/7 is really the Live and Televised Entertainment Other category (which included WWE Classics on Demand, fka WWE 24/7)

Please feel free to use these numbers for your own analysis and articles! 

It would be kind that if should you choose to use these numbers as a "source of truth", please link back to this page.  I've tried my best to verify the numbers, and where there were changes, use the latest version of the data.  I will try to post corrections and additional information here in the future.
