"How to Train Your Dragon 2 is the ninth highest-grossing film of the year so far on a worldwide basis and it has yet to be released in several significant international territories," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chief Executive Officer of DreamWorks Animation. "It will be a highly profitable film for the Company and DreamWorks Dragons will remain a very valuable franchise for many years to come."
The feature film segment contributed revenue of $69.7 million and gross profit of $23.9 million to the second quarter.
How to Train Your Dragon 2, which was released theatrically on June 13, 2014, has reached $166 million at the domestic box office and $262 million at the international box office for a worldwide gross of $428 million to date. The film contributed feature film revenue of $2.6 million to the second quarter and remains in an un-recouped position with the Company's primary distributor.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman contributed feature film revenue of $1.5 million to the second quarter and remains in an un-recouped position with the Company's distributor.
Turbo contributed feature film revenue of $11.0 million to the second quarter, primarily from home entertainment and international pay television. The film reached an estimated 5.1 million home entertainment units sold worldwide through the end of the second quarter, net of actual and estimated future returns.
The Croods contributed feature film revenue of $25.5 million to the second quarter, primarily from international pay television. The film reached an estimated 7.4 million home entertainment units sold worldwide through the end of the second quarter, net of actual and estimated future returns.
Rise of the Guardians contributed feature film revenue of $2.0 million to the second quarter, primarily from home entertainment. The film reached an estimated 5.7 million home entertainment units sold worldwide through the end of the second quarter, net of actual and estimated future returns.
Library titles contributed feature film revenue of $27.1 million to the second quarter.
The Television segment contributed revenue of $20.0 million and gross profit of $1.2 million to the second quarter, primarily from Turbo F.A.S.T. on Netflix, Classic Media content and DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk on Cartoon Network.
The Consumer Products segment contributed revenue of $18.5 million and gross profit of $7.3 million to the second quarter, mainly from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
The segment consisting of all other items contributed revenue of $14.1 million and gross profit of $2.3 million to the second quarter, primarily from AwesomenessTV.
The Company's second quarter 2014 results were impacted by the reduction of the contingent consideration related to its prior acquisition of AwesomenessTV. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was reduced by $7.2 million to $91.8 million and resulted in a gain of $0.09 per share in the quarter.
Costs of revenue for the second quarter equaled $87.5 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $54.6 million, including $2.9 million of stock-based compensation expense.
The Company's combined income tax expenses for the second quarter was approximately $900 thousand. The Company's combined effective tax rate, its actual tax rate coupled with the effect of a tax sharing agreement with a former stockholder, was approximately negative 6% for the second quarter.
The Company's third quarter 2014 results are expected to be driven primarily by its feature film segment, including How to Train Your Dragon 2's continued performance at the worldwide box office.
Items related to the earnings press release for the second quarter of 2014 will be discussed in more detail on the Company's earnings conference call later today.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In connection with our issuance of the 6.875% senior notes due 2020 (the "Notes") on August 14, 2013, we began to use Adjusted EBITDA to provide investors with a measure of our ability to make our interest payments on the Notes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before provision for income taxes, loss from equity method investees, increase/decrease in income tax benefit payable to former stockholder, other income, net, interest income, net, other non-cash operating income, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairments and other charges and certain components of amortization of film and other inventory costs (refer to the reconciliation below). Although the indenture governing the Notes does not include covenants based on Adjusted EBITDA, we believe our investors and noteholders use Adjusted EBITDA as one indicator of our ability to comply with our debt covenants as it is similar to the consolidated cash flow measure described in the indenture (refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 14, 2013). Although consolidated cash flow is not a financial covenant under the indenture, it is a measure that is used to determine our ability to make certain restricted payments and incur additional indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the indenture.
Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe the use of this non-GAAP measure on a consolidated basis assists investors in comparing our ongoing operating performance between periods. Adjusted EBITDA provides a supplemental presentation of our operating performance and generally includes adjustments for unusual or non-operational activities. We may not determine Adjusted EBITDA in a manner consistent with the methodologies used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA (a) does not represent our operating income or cash flows from operating activities as defined by U.S. GAAP; (b) does not include all of the adjustments used to compute consolidated cash flow for purposes of the covenants applicable to the Notes; (c) is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our cash flow needs; and (d) should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash provided by operating activities or our other financial information as determined under U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an implication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the following table presents a reconciliation of net income (or loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):
