Exhibit 99.1

THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENT INFORMATION

On September 24, 2012, The New York Times Company, a New York corporation (the “Company”), completed the sale (the “Transaction”) of the Company’s About Group, consisting of About.com, ConsumerSearch.com, CalorieCount.com and related businesses, to IAC/InterActiveCorp, a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of August 26, 2012, between the Company and the Purchaser.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 24, 2012 is based on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 24, 2012, after giving effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred as of June 24, 2012. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 2011, 2010 and 2009 fiscal years and for the six months ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred as of December 29, 2008, the first day of the 2009 fiscal year.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 2011, 2010 and 2009 fiscal years have been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, and the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 24, 2012 have been derived from the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 24, 2012. The unaudited pro forma financial statement information is based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

The unaudited pro forma financial statement information for the 2011, 2010 and 2009 fiscal years also gives effect to the Company’s January 6, 2012 sale of its Regional Media Group, consisting of 16 regional newspapers, other print publications and related businesses, as if it had occurred as of December 29, 2008. The Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 24, 2012 and June 26, 2011, as included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 24, 2012, classified the results for the Regional Media Group as discontinued operations for the periods prior to the sale. The sale of the Regional Media Group was previously reported by the Company on a current report on Form 8-K filed January 11, 2012, and the Form 8-K report contained unaudited pro forma financial statement information giving effect to such transaction.

The unaudited pro forma financial statement information has been provided for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Transaction occurred as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial statement information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Company. The unaudited pro forma financial statement information, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 24, 2012, that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
