McClatchy Reports Third Quarter 2013 Earnings
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The McClatchy Company (NYSE-MNI) today reported third quarter 2013 earnings, excluding the net impact of certain items discussed below, of $6.9 million. Earnings in the third quarter of 2012, adjusted for similar items, were $8.8 million.
On a GAAP basis, net income in the third quarter of 2013 was $7.3 million, or 8 cents per share. In the third quarter of 2012 the company reported net income of $5.1 million, or 6 cents per share.
Total revenues in the third quarter of 2013 were $293.6 million, down 4.2% from the third quarter of 2012. Advertising revenues were $194.9 million, down 8.1%, and circulation revenues were $87.0 million, up 6.5% from the same quarter in 2012. Total digital-only revenues, which include digital-only revenues from advertising and circulation, were up 13.1% compared to the same quarter last year.
Results in the third quarter of 2013 included the following items:
Operating cash expenses, excluding severance and other charges discussed above, declined approximately $2.7 million, or 1.1%, from the 2012 quarter. Third quarter operating cash expenses also included a $1.8 million expense increase related to the transition at one newspaper to fee-for-service circulation delivery contracts. Excluding the impact of this change in operations, operating cash expenses were down $4.5 million in the quarter, or 1.9%, from the 2012 quarter.
Operating cash flow was $57.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, down 15.0%. (Non-GAAP measurements are discussed below.)
First Nine Months Results:
Earnings in the first nine months of 2013, excluding the net impact of certain items discussed below, were $17.3 million. Earnings in the first nine months of 2012 adjusted for similar items were $22.4 million and included a favorable tax item of $7.9 million for the release of tax reserves and related interest resulting from the expiration of statutes for certain state tax years in the second quarter of 2012. (Non-GAAP measurements are discussed below.)
On a GAAP basis, the net income in the first nine months of 2013 was $6.3 million, or 7 cents per share. Net income in the first nine months of 2012 was $29.9 million, or 35 cents per share.
Total revenues in the first nine months of 2013 were down 3.8% to $897.5 million compared to $933.1 million in 2012. Advertising revenues in the 2013 period totaled $599.6 million, down 6.9%, and circulation revenues were $261.3 million, up 4.2%.
Results in the first nine months of 2013 included the following items:
Management's Comments:
Commenting on McClatchy's third quarter results, Pat Talamantes, McClatchy's president and CEO, said, "Our company-wide revenue performance again reflected an uneven print advertising environment. Revenue trends in the automotive and real estate classified advertising categories improved while we had larger declines in categories such as retail and national advertising compared to last quarter.
"Despite the advertising performance, our revenue diversification strategies are paying off. Growth in digital advertising, circulation and direct marketing revenues helped mitigate the overall decline in traditional newspaper advertising revenues in the 2013 third quarter.
"For the quarter, total advertising revenues were down 8.1% compared to the third quarter of 2012. This performance reflects the difficult print ad environment generally, as well as a shift in July 4th advertising into our second quarter of 2013 and slower Labor Day advertising compared to last year. Digital-only advertising revenues, however, were up 10.6% compared to the same quarter last year driven by 18.1% growth in the automotive category and 11.1% growth in the retail segment. Total digital advertising revenues at $49.0 million represented 25.1% of McClatchy's total advertising revenues in the third quarter compared to 22.9% in the third quarter of 2012. Our digital-only revenues, inclusive of both advertising and circulation, grew 13.1% in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2012.
"Circulation revenues continue to grow, finishing up 6.5% for the quarter as our digital subscription package, known as the Plus Program, is again exceeding expectations. In total, the Plus Program provided more than $8 million in incremental revenues in the quarter and $22.6 million to date in 2013. We now expect the program to generate between $27 million and $30 million in new revenues in 2013. Our digital paid audiences grew during the quarter with new, digital-only subscriptions from the Plus Program now totaling more than 31,000. And despite the metered paywalls installed at our newspaper websites with the Plus Program launch last year, local unique visitors to our sites grew 5.4% in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2012.
"Direct marketing advertising revenues were up 5.3% in the third quarter. Direct marketing continues to be an important contributor to our diversification story as it accounted for 15.8% of total advertising revenues in the quarter. When combined with digital advertising, the two categories contributed nearly 41% of our advertising revenues during the quarter.
"We are making progress with our impressLOCAL™ digital marketing service and early results are promising. impressLOCAL™ has launched in 12 of our markets, and we expect to complete the rollout to all of our markets by the end of the year. impressLOCAL™ provides a suite of online products designed to offer local businesses a comprehensive digital marketing solution. Digital display revenue is also showing momentum as we expand our sales reach through our audience extension partners, including Yahoo!, Centro, simpli.fi and other ad exchanges.
"As I mentioned earlier, growth in our digital audience continues. For the third quarter of 2013, daily average local unique visitors finished up 5.4% and our mobile daily unique visitor count was up 62.5% in the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2012. Mobile users represented 42.3% of total daily unique visitors in the quarter.
"Cash expenses, excluding severance and certain other charges, were down 1.1% in the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2012. We were again successful in reducing cash expenses this quarter even with a $2.6 million increase in pension expense and while still making investments in new revenue initiatives and enterprise-wide operating systems. Third quarter operating cash expenses also included $1.8 million in expenses related to the transition at one newspaper to fee-for-service circulation delivery contracts in July, which was also accompanied by higher circulation revenues and, therefore, had no impact on operating cash flow. Excluding the impact of this change in operations, operating cash expenses were down $4.5 million in the quarter, or 1.9% from the 2012 quarter.
"Income from our equity investments was $14.0 million this quarter, up 19.2% compared to the same quarter last year. Classified Ventures and CareerBuilder in particular continue to provide impressive financial results.
"As we look to the fourth quarter, the Christmas holiday season will be the determining factor in retail advertising performance for the quarter, and we just don't have much visibility on the holiday season yet. We expect ongoing positive momentum from the Plus Program and double-digit growth in total digital-only revenues. We're seeing some expense pressure from tough comparisons to last year's fourth quarter as well as higher costs (and offsetting increases in revenues) for the move to fee-for-service delivery contracts at certain newspapers so we expect cash expenses to be up in the low single-digit range. Cash expenses will be close to flat with prior year excluding the circulation change."
Talamantes added, "We continue our focus on high-quality journalism. In September, The Charlotte Observer and The News & Observer of Raleigh won the coveted Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award Grand Prize for 'Prognosis: Profits,' their joint examination into the soaring profits at North Carolina's nonprofit hospitals and some of the questionable practices producing those profits. The RFK Awards, which salute outstanding reporting on human rights and social justice issues, are among the most prestigious prizes in journalism. McClatchy newsrooms have now won RFK Awards each of the last five years and seven of the last nine years.
"I'm extremely proud of our hard-working journalists throughout McClatchy who never lose sight of our core news mission and responsibility and continue to provide relevant and impactful journalism that is so important to our communities."
Regarding McClatchy's debt position, Elaine Lintecum, McClatchy's CFO, said, "Total debt at the end of the third quarter was $1.556 billion, down $10 million from the end of the second quarter of this year. Interest expense related to debt declined by $5.2 million compared to the same quarter last year, and we finished the quarter with $45.4 million in cash, compared to $21.8 million at the end of the second quarter. Our leverage ratio at the end of the third quarter as defined in our credit agreement was 4.59 times cash flow and our interest coverage was 2.55 times. Both ratios are well within the required limits of our credit agreement."
The company's statistical report, which summarizes revenue performance for the third fiscal quarter and first nine months of 2013, follows.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") included in this press release, the company has presented non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted net income, operating cash flows and operating cash flow margins. Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding amounts (net of tax) for loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, severance charges, accelerated depreciation on equipment, certain other charges, gain on sale of Miami property, reversal of interest on tax items and certain discrete tax items. Operating cash flow is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization, severance charges and certain other charges. Operating cash flow margin is defined as operating cash flow divided by total net revenues. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to GAAP measures in the attached schedule. Management believes these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the company's GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute or an alternative to these computations calculated in accordance with and required by GAAP. McClatchy's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Conference Call Information:
At noon Eastern time today, McClatchy will review its results in a conference call (877-278-1205, pass code 78215751) and webcast (www.mcclatchy.com). The webcast will be archived at McClatchy's website.
