SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The McClatchy Company (NYSE-MNI) today reported second quarter 2014 income from continuing operations of $91.6 million, or $1.03 per share compared to income from continuing operations in the 2013 second quarter of $11.0 million, or $0.13 per share.

McClatchy's results included, among other items, a combined pre-tax gain of $145.9 million primarily from its share of the gain from Classified Ventures' sale of Apartments.com and to a lesser extent a gain on the sale of its 50% partnership interest in McClatchy-Tribune Information Services ("MCT"). Excluding these gains and the net impact of certain other items discussed below, McClatchy's adjusted income from continuing operations was $2.8 million. Income from continuing operations, adjusted for similar items, was $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2013.

A loss from discontinued operations of $1.7 million, or $0.01 per share, reflects the after-tax loss on the sale and operating results of the Anchorage Daily News newspaper, which was sold on May 5, 2014. Net income in the second quarter of 2014, including the impact of discontinued operations, was $89.9 million, or $1.02 per share, compared to $11.8 million, or $0.14 per share, in the second quarter of 2013.

Commenting on McClatchy's 2014 second quarter results, Pat Talamantes, McClatchy's president and CEO, said, "In the second quarter we saw a slowdown in print advertising among retail clients in the quarter. Still, we continued to see growth in direct marketing and digital advertising revenues and together these two sources accounted for 43% of our total advertising revenue in the quarter.

"We continue to make significant progress with the digital transformation of our business," Talamantes said. "For the quarter, we posted just over 10% growth in total digital-only revenue, which increases to nearly 14% when excluding Apartments.com-related advertising revenue from both 2014 and 2013. Our audience metrics also continue to be strong. Monthly unique visitors were up 7.7% in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year and mobile users represented 43.8% of total monthly unique visitors in the quarter."

Talamantes added, "It was a busy quarter at McClatchy. On April 1, we received a cash distribution totaling $147 million (after-tax proceeds of $91 million) from Classified Ventures related to the sale of Apartments.com. Shortly thereafter we exited the MCT partnership, while remaining both a continuing contributor and a user of the valuable information provided by MCT to our newspapers. Later in the quarter, on May 5, we completed the sale of the Anchorage Daily News for $34 million (after-tax proceeds of $25 million). The additional liquidity from these transactions boosted our cash balance to $265.3 million at the end of the second quarter, furthering our ability to reduce debt over time and to focus more resources on accelerating our digital transformation."

Second Quarter Results

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2014 were $292.0 million, down 3.2% compared to the second quarter of 2013. Advertising revenues were $189.2 million, down 7.0%, and audience revenues were $90.8 million, up 5.0% from the same quarter in 2013. Audience revenues (formerly called circulation revenues) were down 3.1% for the quarter excluding an increase of $7.0 million in revenue related to the transition to fee-for-service audience delivery contracts at certain newspapers. Total digital-only revenues, which include digital-only revenues from advertising and audience subscriptions, were up 10.1% compared to the same quarter last year. Excluding Apartments.com revenues from the 2013 quarter, digital-only revenues were up 13.8% in the second quarter of 2014.

Results in the second quarter of 2014 included the following items:

Gains recorded in equity income from McClatchy's portion of the sale of Apartments.com and the sale of MCT of $145.9 million ($90.1 million after-tax);
Severance charges totaling $1.1 million ($0.6 million after-tax);
Non-cash charges totaling $0.7 million ($0.4 million after-tax) related to owned real estate associated with outsourcing initiatives; and
Other charges totaling $0.3 million ($0.2 million after-tax).

Operating cash expenses, excluding severance and other charges discussed above, increased approximately $2.4 million in the second quarter, or 1.0%, from the second quarter of 2013. Cash expenses in the 2014 quarter included $3.6 million in investments related to new revenue initiatives and digital infrastructure such as enterprise-wide operating systems. Second quarter operating cash expenses also increased $7.0 million related to the transition to fee-for-service audience delivery contracts at certain newspapers (with a similar increase in audience revenues as noted above, and thus, had no net impact on operating cash flow.) Excluding the impact of this change in contracts, operating cash expenses declined $4.6 million in the quarter, or 2.0% from the same quarter last year, including the additional investments made in our digital infrastructure and revenue initiatives.

Operating cash flow was $55.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, down 17.9% compared to the second quarter last year. (Non-GAAP measurements are discussed below.)

First Six Months Results

Total revenues for the first six months of 2014 were $572.6 million, down 3.0% from the first six months of 2013. Total advertising revenues were $369.3 million, down 6.9%, and audience revenues were $179.8 million, up 5.4%. Audience revenues were down 1.3% excluding an increase of $11.4 million in revenue related to the transition to fee-for-service audience delivery contracts at certain newspapers. Total digital-only revenues, which include digital-only revenues from advertising and audience, were up 11.0% compared to the first six months of 2013, and were up 14.3% excluding Apartments.com from both the 2013 and 2014 six-month periods.

Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2014 was $75.6 million, or $0.85 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations in first six months of 2013 of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per share. The loss from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2014 was $1.5 million, or $0.01 per share, and reflects the after-tax loss on the sale and operating results of the Anchorage Daily News. Net income for the first six months of 2014, including the impact of discontinued operations, was $74.1 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to a loss of $1.0 million, or $0.01 per share, for the first six months of 2013.

The company recorded a loss from continuing operations for the first six months of 2014, excluding the net impact of certain items discussed below, of $3.4 million. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2013, when adjusted for similar items, was $9.1 million. (Non-GAAP measurements are discussed below.)

Results for the first six months of 2014 included the following items:

Gains recorded in equity income from McClatchy's portion of the sale of Apartments.com and the sale of MCT of $145.9 million ($90.1 million after-tax);
Severance charges totaling $2.9 million ($1.6 million after-tax);
Accelerated depreciation totaling $13.5 million ($8.3 million after-tax) related to newspaper production equipment associated with outsourcing or relocation initiatives;
Non-cash charges totaling $1.5 million ($1.0 million after-tax) related to owned real estate associated with outsourcing initiatives;
Other charges totaling $0.6 million ($0.4 million after-tax); and
A reversal of interest on tax items and a net decrease in tax expense related to a state audit settlement totaling $0.04 million ($0.1 million after-tax).

Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $93.8 million for the first six months of 2014, down 21.6% compared to the first six months of 2013. (Non-GAAP measurements are discussed below.)

Second Quarter Business and Financial Highlights

Total advertising revenues were down 7.0% in the second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2013. The decline reflects the impact of a sluggish print retail environment, a significant decline in the national advertising category and the loss of revenues from Apartments.com. Excluding the impact of Apartments.com revenues in the 2013 quarter, total advertising revenues declined 6.6% year-over-year from the 2013 quarter. The volatile national advertising category was up 9.1% in the second quarter of 2013, reflecting advertising that was not repeated throughout the remainder of 2013 and in 2014.

Revenues from direct marketing and digital advertising increased 3.8% and 1.2%, respectively, compared to the same quarter last year. Total digital and direct marketing advertising represented 43.0% of second quarter 2014 total advertising revenues on a combined basis. Digital-only advertising was up 10.0% in the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2013 and was up 14.0% excluding Apartments.com-related revenues from 2013.

The company's audience revenues increased 5.0% in the second quarter and were down 3.1% compared to the second quarter of 2013, excluding an increase of $7.0 million in revenue related to the transition to fee-for-service audience delivery contracts at newspapers that changed to fee-for-service contracts.

Income from equity investments declined $4.6 million in the second quarter due to lower income from certain internet investments and lower results from the company's newsprint mill partnership. Classified Ventures' results included legal, accounting and other Apartments.com transaction-related costs in 2014 and included Apartments.com results in the second quarter of 2013 with no results in 2014 (sold on April 1, 2014). These items masked the continued growth in Cars.com results in the second quarter of 2014.

The company finished the quarter with $265.3 million in cash. Total debt at the end of the second quarter was $1.556 billion. The leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter as defined in the company's credit agreement was 3.62 times cash flow and the interest coverage was 3.39 times cash flow. Bank-defined EBITDA in the quarter includes the $147 million distribution from Classified Ventures related to the sale of Apartments.com. On a net debt basis (debt net of cash on hand) the leverage ratio was 3.00 times cash flow.

Outlook

Looking to the third quarter, Talamantes said, "It's difficult to make predictions about retail advertising for the balance of 2014, particularly in print. We remain focused on providing advertising solutions using all of the print, digital and direct marketing products we have at our disposal. For the remainder of 2014 we expect double-digit growth in digital-only advertising revenues, low single-digit growth in direct marketing and improving trends in audience revenues in the last half of the year. We remain vigilant in controlling expenses and expect operating costs to be down in the low single-digits in 2014 compared to 2013, excluding the impact of audience-related expense increases as a result of moving to fee-for-service delivery contracts at several newspapers."

The company's statistical report, which summarizes revenue performance for the second quarter of 2014, 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 (loss) from continuing operations, operating cash flow and operating cash flow margin. Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding amounts (net of tax) for a gain related to an equity investment distribution, a gain on the sale of an equity investment, a gain on the sale of the Miami property, a loss on extinguishment of debt, severance charges, accelerated depreciation on equipment, real estate related charges, certain other charges, 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:

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the company's ongoing operating results;
the ability to better identify trends in the company's underlying business;
a better understanding of how management plans and measures the company's underlying business; and
an easier way to compare the company's most recent operating results against investor and analyst financial models.

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.
