McLEAN, VA - Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI), a leading international media and marketing solutions company, today reported strong fourth quarter financial results. Earnings per diluted share, on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis were $0.44 for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $0.49 for the same quarter last year. Excluding special items in both years, fourth quarter earnings per diluted share were $0.89 in 2012 compared to $0.72 in the fourth quarter of 2011, a 23.6 percent increase.
Gracia Martore, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are proud of our strong operating results this quarter with growth in revenue and margin expansion driving strong cash flow. This caps an extremely productive year in which we successfully implemented our strategy to position Gannett for success in the digital era. For the year, we achieved our first year-over-year increase in company-wide revenue since 2006. During the fourth quarter and for the full year, our Broadcasting business delivered record revenue and profitability. Our television stations significantly increased market share this year reflecting the value of their content and format in gaining new viewers while retaining their loyal base. Not to be outdone, local domestic publishing circulation revenue also increased for the third straight quarter driven by the success of our all access content subscription model. We are meeting or exceeding the revenue and operating profit goals we had for the all access content subscription model. Total digital revenue across Gannett increased 29 percent and represented 25 percent of total revenue.
“Our strategy is gaining momentum, our investments are bearing fruit and we are achieving the results we expected. We enter 2013 with our businesses performing well and poised for even greater success going forward. We remain confident we are well positioned to achieve our goals and to continue delivering on our promise to return increased value to shareholders,” Martore said.
Amounts reported in accordance with GAAP are contained in Tables 1 through 4. Certain amounts and comparisons included in the following discussion of GAAP results are supplemented by discussions which exclude the effect of special items. Details of these special items and their effect on GAAP results are included on the Non-GAAP Financial Information Tables 5 through 10 attached to this release. The company's basis for providing discussions of non-GAAP results is detailed below.
Results for the fourth quarter of 2012 include special charges affecting operating income. Non-cash asset impairments, efficiency-driven facility consolidation and workforce restructuring charges totaled $114.6 million ($101.9 million after tax or $0.44 per share). Non-operating items include a $3.8 million ($2.3 million after tax or $0.01 per share) non-cash charge related to the impairment of a minority owned investment.
Results for the fourth quarter of 2011 included special charges affecting operating income of $78.4 million ($49.0 million after-tax or $0.20 per share). Non-operating items for the fourth quarter of 2011 included special charges related to the impairment of certain minority-owned investments that totaled $28.4 million ($17.2 million after-tax or $0.07 per share). In addition, a special tax benefit of $10.7 million or $0.04 per share was recorded.

Net income attributable to Gannett was $103.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to Gannett on a non-GAAP basis increased 20.2 percent to $207.3 million from $172.4 million in 2011. Operating income totaled $220.4 million in the quarter. Non-GAAP operating income including strategic initiative investments of $14.1 million but excluding special items and the extra week totaled $320.3 million, up 10.2 percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. Operating cash flow in the quarter (a non-GAAP term defined as operating income plus special items, depreciation and amortization) was $384.7 million compared to $339.2 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Excluding the extra week operating cash flow was up 9.1 percent.
Total operating revenues for the company were $1.52 billion in the fourth quarter, a 9.4 percent increase compared to the fourth quarter last year. A substantial increase in Broadcasting segment revenues, higher Publishing segment revenues as well as the extra week in the quarter drove the increase. The increase in Broadcasting segment revenues reflects a record level of political spending in the quarter. Significantly higher circulation revenue in the Publishing segment resulting from the positive impact of the all access content subscription model more than offset a decline in advertising revenues. Digital segment revenues were up due primarily to revenue growth at CareerBuilder. Excluding the extra week in the quarter, total operating revenues were 4.8 percent higher than the year ago quarter.
Operating expenses including the special charges noted above were $1.30 billion in the quarter, 10.4 percent higher than the fourth quarter in 2011. Special charges, higher costs associated with substantial revenue growth in the Broadcasting segment and the extra week in the quarter contributed to the increase. Strategic initiative investments that totaled $14.1 million and a $5.5 million increase in pension expense were partially offset by continued cost reduction and cost efficiency efforts company-wide. Operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis, which exclude special items but include the impact of the investment in strategic initiatives and pension expense, totaled $1.18 billion. Total operating expenses in the quarter excluding special items and the extra week in the quarter were up 3.4 percent.

Total operating revenues for the full year totaled $5.35 billion compared to $5.24 billion a year ago, an increase of over 2 percent. The increase was driven by substantially higher Broadcast revenues reflecting a record $150 million in political ad spending and $37 million associated with the the Summer Olympic Games. Digital segment revenues were 4.7 percent higher. Publishing segment revenues declined 2.7 percent as a 6.2 percent decline in advertising revenues was partially offset by a 5.0 percent increase in circulation revenues. Digital revenues company-wide were $1.29 billion, an increase of 18.7 percent compared to 2011. Operating expenses totaled $4.56 billion. Operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis were up 2.3 percent reflecting $74.2 million of strategic investments and the extra week in 2012 partially offset by company-wide efficiency efforts. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income in 2012 was $960.4 million, a 1.5 percent increase. Net income attributable to Gannett on the same basis was up 6.3 percent to $551.1 million. Earnings per diluted share were $1.79 on a GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were $2.33 compared to $2.13 in 2011. Operating cash flow totaled $1.15 billion in 2012.
Total operating revenues in 2012 excluding the extra week were up 1 percent. On the same basis, Publishing segment revenues were 4.1 percent lower reflecting a 3.1 percent increase in circulation revenue and a 7.4 percent decline in advertising revenues. Broadcasting segment revenues were 24.1 percent higher. Operating expenses, excluding initiative investment, special items and the extra week, were down 0.5 percent. Operating income on the same basis was up 5.7 percent. The extra week in 2012 contributed approximately $0.03 to diluted earnings per share.
In the first quarter of 2012, the company announced a new capital allocation plan that included a 150 percent increase in the annual dividend to $0.80 per share and a $300 million share repurchase program targeted to be completed over the two years following the announcement. During the fourth quarter the company purchased approximately 2.1 million shares for $37.4 million. Year-to-date, shares repurchased totaled 10.3 million shares for $153.9 million.
PUBLISHING
Publishing segment operating revenues in the quarter were $1.04 billion, 3.7 percent higher than the $1.01 billion in the fourth quarter last year reflecting the extra week in the quarter and an increase in circulation revenues. The growth was offset, in part, by lower advertising revenues as the tepid economic recovery continues to impact advertising demand.
Primarily reflecting the impact of the complete rollout of the all access content subscription model and the extra week in the quarter, circulation revenue company-wide was up 16.8 percent. Excluding the extra week, circulation revenues increased 9.3 percent. Local domestic circulation revenue was 23.6 percent higher. This is the third consecutive quarter of circulation revenue growth as customer response has been very positive.
Advertising revenues totaled $657.5 million compared to $670.7 million in the fourth quarter a year ago, a 2.0 percent decline. Excluding the extra week, advertising revenues were 6.5 percent lower, the best quarterly comparison in 2012. Advertising revenues declined 5.6 percent in October, were down 7.4 percent in November, and were 6.7 percent lower in December, excluding the extra week.
Excluding the extra week in the quarter, retail advertising and classified advertising comparisons were the best quarterly comparisons for the year while comparisons for national advertising lagged third quarter comparisons.
The percentage changes for the Publishing segment advertising revenue categories for the quarter were as follows:

Digital publishing revenues were up 87.1 percent in the quarter reflecting the impact of the all access content subscription model in addition to higher digital advertising and marketing solutions revenue. Digital publishing revenues excluding the extra week were 79.2 percent higher in the quarter. On the same basis, a 100.1 percent increase in digital revenues at our local domestic publishing operations was driven primarily by the all access content subscription model. Digital revenues at USA TODAY and its associated businesses increased 27.9 percent while Newsquest's digital revenues were up 8.8 percent, in pounds.
Publishing segment operating expenses totaled $914.9 million in the quarter compared to $893.0 million in the fourth quarter last year, an increase of 2.4 percent. Operating expenses in the Publishing segment excluding special items, initiative investment and the extra week were relatively unchanged from the fourth quarter a year ago. Newsprint expense was 1.1 percent lower in the quarter due primarily to lower consumption.
Publishing segment operating income, which includes the impact of strategic investments, was $128.7 million. Publishing segment operating income excluding special items totaled $153.2 million in the quarter and operating cash flow was $182.8 million.
BROADCASTING
Results in the Broadcasting segment (which include Captivate) reflected a record level of fourth quarter revenues and operating results. Operating revenues were $287.5 million in the quarter, up 43.9 percent compared to $199.8 million in the fourth quarter last year. Excluding the extra week, revenues in the
(more)
Broadcasting segment were 39.0 percent higher. The increase was due primarily to a substantial increase in political advertising that leveraged a combination of strong stations and local news positions, a very good political footprint as well as optimal inventory management. Double digit growth in retransmission revenue contributed to revenue growth as well.
Total television revenues were 45.7 percent higher and totaled $280.2 million compared to $192.4 million in the fourth quarter last year. The revenue growth was driven by $91.2 million in politically related advertising during the fourth quarter of 2012. Retransmission revenues were $29.6 million in the quarter compared to $21.4 million in the fourth quarter a year ago, an increase of 38.7 percent. Television station digital revenues were 4.0 percent higher than the fourth quarter of 2011. Based on current trends, the percentage increase in total television revenues is projected to be up in the high-single digits in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012. First quarter 2013 year-over-year comparisons will be unfavorably impacted by the absence of $5.1 million in political revenue and the move of the Super Bowl from NBC to CBS. Excluding political variances year-to-year, the percentage increase in total television revenues is projected to be up in the 10 to 12 percent range in the first quarter.
Broadcasting segment operating expenses totaled $129.6 million, an increase of 17.7 percent compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. The increase reflects higher sales and marketing costs associated with the substantial increase in revenues and the extra week in the quarter. Broadcasting segment operating expenses excluding special items and the extra week in the quarter were 13.9 percent higher. Record operating income totaled $157.9 million and was 76.0 percent higher than the fourth quarter last year while operating cash flow was 69.4 percent higher and totaled $164.8 million. Operating income excluding special items and the extra week was up 69.4 percent compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Operating cash flow on the same basis was 64.5 percent higher.
DIGITAL
Results in the Digital segment were not impacted by the extra week in the quarter. Digital segment operating revenues were $187.2 million compared to $181.5 million in the fourth quarter last year. Solid revenue growth at CareerBuilder drove the increase. Digital segment operating expenses were substantially higher due primarily to the special charges. Digital segment operating expenses excluding special items were 3.8 percent higher. On the same basis, operating income totaled $39.0 million. Operating cash flow was up 3.7 percent and totaled $48.4 million.
Digital revenues company-wide, including the Digital segment and all digital revenues generated by the other business segments, were $375.6 million, a 29.4 percent increase from the fourth quarter a year ago. Excluding the extra week, digital revenues company-wide were 26.7 percent higher. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of the all access content subscription model as well as higher revenue associated with digital advertising and marketing solutions across all segments.
At the end of the quarter, Gannett had about 120 domestic web sites affiliated with its local publishing and television markets, USA TODAY, Gannett Government Media and Gannett Healthcare Group. USATODAY.com is one of the most popular newspaper sites and the USA TODAY app is a top news app with 17.4 million downloads across iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows and Kindle Fire. In December, Gannett's consolidated domestic Internet audience share increased 7.6 percent from December of 2011 to 54.6 million unique visitors reaching 24.7 percent of the Internet audience, according to Comscore Media Metrix. Newsquest is also an Internet leader in the UK where its network of web sites attracted 76.0 million monthly page impressions from approximately 10.1 million unique users in December 2012. CareerBuilder's unique visitors in the fourth quarter averaged 21.0 million.

NON-OPERATING ITEMS
The company's equity earnings include its share of operating results from unconsolidated investees including the California Newspapers Partnership, Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership, Tucson newspaper partnership and other online/digital businesses including Classified Ventures.
Equity income in unconsolidated investments was $6.4 million, up $12.2 million compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Excluding special non-cash charges in the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011, equity income totaled $10.2 million, an increase of $2.2 million. The increase was due primarily to strong results for Classified Ventures and improved results in our newspaper partnerships.
Interest expense was $38.9 million compared to $40.8 million in the fourth quarter last year. The decline was due to lower average debt balances partially offset by higher average interest rates and the extra week in the quarter.
Other non-operating income totaled $6.0 million for the quarter, an increase of $20.9 million from the fourth quarter last year. The increase reflects the gain on an investment in the fourth quarter this year and $14.5 million of non-cash impairment charges for minority-owned cost method businesses in the fourth quarter a year ago. Excluding non-cash impairment charges, other non-operating income was $6.4 million higher compared to the fourth quarter last year.
Net cash flow from operating activities was $258.0 million, while free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) totaled $248.1 million in the quarter. The balance of long term debt at quarter end was $1.43 billion. Total cash at the end of the quarter was $175.0 million.

USE OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION
The company uses non-GAAP financial performance and liquidity measures to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are not to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.
In this earnings report, the company discusses non-GAAP financial performance measures that exclude from its reported GAAP results the impact of special items consisting of workforce restructuring charges, facility consolidation expenses, non-cash impairment charges, incremental charges associated with the the company's former chairman and chief executive officer's disability related retirement, pension settlement charges and certain credits to its income tax provision. The company believes that such expenses and credits are not indicative of normal, ongoing operations and their inclusion in results makes for more difficult comparisons between periods and with peer group companies. Workforce restructuring and facility consolidation expenses primarily relate to incremental expenses the company has incurred to consolidate or outsource production processes and centralize other functions. These expenses include payroll and related benefit costs and accelerated depreciation. Non-cash impairment charges were recorded in 2012 and 2011 to reduce the book value of certain intangible assets and investments accounted for under the equity and cost methods to fair value, as the businesses underlying these assets had experienced significant and sustained unfavorable operating results. The pension settlement charges result from the acceleration of expense related to the timing of certain pension payments. Full year results include credits to the tax provision related primarily to tax settlements covering multiple years. The company also recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 a special tax benefit for deductible stock basis relating to prior year business impairment charges for which no tax benefit could have been previously taken.

The company also discusses operating cash flow, a non-GAAP financial performance measure that it believes offers a useful view of the overall operation of its businesses. This non-GAAP measure is calculated by adding amounts associated with the special expense items described above, as well as depreciation and amortization, to operating income as reported on a GAAP basis. This earnings report also discusses free cash flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure. Free cash flow is defined as “net cash flow from operating activities” as reported on the statement of cash flows reduced by “purchase of property, plant and equipment” as well as “payments for investments” and increased by “proceeds from investments.” The company believes that free cash flow is a useful measure for management and investors to evaluate the level of cash generated by operations and the ability of its operations to fund investments in its businesses, repay indebtedness, add to the company's cash balance, or use in other discretionary activities. Management uses free cash flow to monitor cash available for repayment of indebtedness and in its discussions with the investment community.
Management uses non-GAAP financial performance measures for purposes of evaluating business unit and consolidated company performance. The company therefore believes that each of the non-GAAP measures presented provides useful information to investors by allowing them to view the company's businesses through the eyes of management and the Board of Directors, facilitating comparison of results across historical periods, and providing a focus on the underlying ongoing operating performance of its businesses. In addition, many of the company's peer group companies present similar non-GAAP measures so the presentation of such measures facilitates industry comparisons.
Tabular reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures are contained in Tables 5 through 10 attached to this news release.

"Free cash flow" is a non-GAAP liquidity measure used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. | ||||||||
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that is defined as "Net cash flow from operating activities" as reported on the statement of cash flows reduced by "Purchases of property, plant and equipment" as well as "Payments for investments" and increased by "Proceeds from investments".
