Exhibit 99.1
MARTHA STEWART LIVING OMNIMEDIA, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2006 RESULTS
Each Business Segment Outperformed Guidance
Publishing Ad Revenue Grew 66% or $9.0 Million
Special One-Time Dividend Declared
NEW YORK, July 26/PRNewswire – FirstCall/– Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (NYSE: MSO) today announced its results for the second quarter, showing substantial gains that underscore the overall strength of the Company’s business segments. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a special one-time dividend of $0.50 per share.
President and Chief Executive Officer Susan Lyne said: “Our second quarter results confirm that the Company is on very strong footing with revenues up 47%, operating results improving considerably, and each business segment outperforming our guidance. Publishing and Internet delivered significant increases in advertising revenue, while Broadcasting performed well and was a strong driver of demand for our brand. In addition, we recently announced several new Merchandising partnerships, including agreements with Kodak Imaging Network, Inc., Quality Home Brands, LLC and FLOR, Inc. These new agreements are part of our growing portfolio of strategic initiatives with such companies as Macy’s, KB Home and EK Success to diversify our revenue stream and thoughtfully leverage our brand.
“We have a clear roadmap for growth that gives us confidence in the future of our business and in our ability to increase shareholder value. We have successfully navigated a difficult period and are enjoying significant gains in advertising revenue and new business opportunities. With the health and vigor of the Company renewed, we are in a position to return value to our shareholders with this special dividend, while continuing to invest in our business.”
Revenues rose 47% to $67.4 million compared to $46.0 million for the second quarter of 2005, driven by strong performance in Publishing and Internet, along with the inclusion of results from MARTHA, our nationally syndicated daily television show, and the Martha Stewart Living Radio channel on Sirius Satellite Radio.
Operating loss for the second quarter decreased to $(1.8) million, compared to $(34.2) million for the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter results benefited from an increase in high margin

advertising revenue. Results for the quarter included a one-time newsstand expense reduction adjustment of $3.2 million ($0.06 per share). The prior period included a $16.8 million ($0.33 per share) non-cash charge related to the vesting of a portion of a warrant granted in connection with the production of our syndicated television show.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2006 was $3.2 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(11.2) million for the second quarter of 2005.
Loss per share from continuing operations was $(0.01) for the second quarter of 2006, ahead of a prior year second quarter loss of $(0.65) and ahead of consensus estimate of $(0.16).
Second Quarter 2006 Results by Segment
Publishing
Revenues in the second quarter of 2006 grew 29% to $40.9 million, driven by higher advertising pages and rates, led by a 47 % increase in ad pages at Martha Stewart Living, and a 22% increase in pages at Everyday Food.
Operating income was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to an operating loss of $(3.3) million in the second quarter of 2005, benefiting from significantly higher ad sales and a one-time newsstand expense reduction adjustment of $3.2 million related to the settlement of certain newsstand-related fees. Results include an investment in Blueprint magazine of $1.7 million as we develop the magazine and build our staff.
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.9 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(2.6) million in the second quarter of 2005.
Highlights
    Total advertising revenue increased 66% or $9.0 million on continued rate increases, with ad pages up 47% at Martha Stewart Living, and 22% at Everyday Food. The quarter saw particular category strength in food and household equipment.
 
    Based on current trends, we expect the growth in ad pages to continue, with an expected third quarter increase of 45% at Martha Stewart Living and 60% at Everyday Food.

    Body and Soul’s rate base, having increased to 350,000 in March 2006 from 275,000, increased to 400,000 in July 2006.
 
    This quarter marked the debut of Blueprint magazine. Our first test issue, with an initial rate base of 250,000, was well received by readers and advertisers alike. The magazine has attracted new advertisers and ad categories that do not appear in our other publications. In August, we will publish the second test issue of Blueprint, followed by six more issues in 2007.
Broadcasting
Revenues in the second quarter of 2006 rose to $11.8 million from $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2005. The quarter included revenue from MARTHA, our nationally syndicated daily show, and the Martha Stewart Living Radio channel on Sirius Satellite Radio, neither of which existed in the prior year.
Operating income was $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to an operating loss of $(20.1) million in the second quarter of 2005. Results from the prior year’s quarter include a non-cash charge of $16.8 million associated with the vesting of a portion of a warrant granted in connection with the production of the syndicated TV program.
Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(2.7) million in the prior year’s second quarter.
Highlights
    Our hour-long nationally syndicated show, MARTHA, completed its first season, during which it garnered six Daytime Emmy Award nominations and one win for outstanding achievement in art direction/set direction/scenic design. In what is an otherwise sluggish market, the show is registering solid CPM gains.
 
    The Broadcasting segment announced three significant new hires. Richard Claflin joined the Company as Vice President of Programming. Jill Boulet is the new Vice President of Marketing, Broadcasting. Elizabeth Aiello is the new Vice President, General Manager of Martha Stewart Living Radio.
Merchandising
Revenues were $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $10.2 million in the prior year’s second quarter. The quarter included revenue from our relationship with KB Home, which offset

modestly lower sales of our Martha Stewart Everyday products at Kmart. The decline in royalty revenue from sales at Kmart in the quarter will not impact full-year results from operations, as we expect to be paid based on guaranteed annual amounts.
Operating income was $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease is due largely to investment in personnel to support the growing number of merchandising initiatives we have forged in recent months.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $6.3 in the second quarter of 2005.
Highlights
We continue to expand our portfolio of new and promising initiatives.
    Yesterday marked the grand opening of our second branded community in our groundbreaking collaboration with KB Home. KB Home Hampton Oaks: Created with Martha Stewart near Atlanta, Georgia follows our first highly successful Martha Stewart-branded KB Home community in Cary, North Carolina.
 
    During the second quarter, we announced an agreement with Quality Home Brands, LLC, a manufacturer of leading brands of lighting and home décor products, to create a new line of Martha Stewart-branded lighting and ceiling fans. Initial products are expected to be introduced in Spring 2007 and will be available through independent lighting and furniture dealers.
 
    We also signed an agreement with FLOR, Inc., an eco-friendly manufacturer of residential, high-style modular floor coverings, to manufacture a new line of Martha Stewart-branded carpet tiles; the products will be available through the FLOR catalog and online at www.florcatalog.com beginning in the second half of 2007.
Internet
Revenues rose 107% to $4.6 million, driven chiefly by higher ad sales resulting from increases in both web traffic and ad rates.
Operating income was breakeven in the second quarter of 2006, compared with an operating loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. Results benefited from higher ad rates offset slightly by higher operating costs as we invest in staff and technology in advance of the website’s relaunch in first quarter 2007.

Adjusted EBITDA was $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to a loss of $(0.9) million in the second quarter of 2005.
Highlights
    Advertising revenue grew to $2.1 million from $0.2 million, benefiting from a 117% increase in page views year-over-year and higher CPMs.
 
    Marthasflowers.com revenue grew to $2.5 million from $2.1 million.
 
    Last month, we announced a multiyear agreement with Kodak to develop a line of Martha Stewart-branded personalized photo products. The new line, which will be available on the KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery website and at marthastewart.com, is expected to launch in September with a large selection of holiday offerings such as cards and Photo Books. Additional products and new categories will be introduced at the end of the year and throughout 2007.
 
    We continue to make progress as we move from mapping and designing our new website to building it in anticipation of the website’s relaunch in the first quarter of 2007. We will be increasing headcount during the second half of 2006 to support both the relaunch and our new business with Kodak.
 
    We recently announced three important new management hires. Thomas Mueller has been named Vice President, Creative Director. Christine Cook assumes the role of Vice President, Interactive Advertising Sales, and Robert Kernen is the Assistant Vice President and Director of Product Management.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses, including depreciation and amortization and non-cash equity compensation, were a loss of $(13.4) million, compared to $(15.7) million in the prior year’s quarter. Corporate expenses, before depreciation and amortization and non-cash equity compensation, declined 6% to $10.7 million. The decrease was driven largely by lower professional fees and employee-related costs.
Trends and Outlook
Howard Hochhauser, Chief Financial Officer, commented: “Our business continues to strengthen. Based on the current trends, we expect to report significant year-over-year improvements in operating results in the third quarter and for the full year. Publishing, the significant earnings driver for the current quarter, will benefit principally from higher advertising revenues and page growth, partially offset by investment spending on Blueprint. Broadcasting will continue to benefit from our Martha Stewart

Page 5 of 15


 

Living Radio channel on SIRIUS Satellite Radio in the third quarter and for the full year, partially offset by lower profit expectations for season two of the MARTHA television show due to the loss of our cable distribution along with additional promotional spending to launch the second season. Merchandising and Internet will add personnel to support new product line launches, including the launch of our Martha Stewart Collection at Macy’s and our digital photo products initiative with Kodak, while Internet will also be investing to support the launch of our improved website in the first quarter of 2007. With our strong results from this quarter, we will be able to accelerate our investment in Blueprint, our Internet business and our Martha Stewart Collection at Macy’s.
“For the third quarter of 2006, we are expecting revenue in the range of $55 — $57 million, operating income loss in the range of $(10.5) to $(11.5) million and an adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $(5.5) to $(6.5) million. We remain comfortable with our previous full-year revenue guidance of $270 — $280 million. We will be investing some of the gains from the second quarter to support the roll-out of our new merchandising initiatives and accelerate the investment in Blueprint magazine. Taking together the second quarter upside with the additional investment, we expect to report a full year operating loss in the range of $(6.0) to $(8.0) million with adjusted EBITDA in the range of $12 — $14 million, including an investment in Blueprint magazine of $6 million, as well as nearly $4 million in expenses associated with the development of our Internet business, and the incremental expenses relating to our new merchandising initiatives of $1 million. This compares to prior guidance of adjusted EBITDA in the range of $10-$12 million.”
Stock-Based Compensation
In accordance with a new accounting rule, FASB Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, stock-based compensation is no longer presented as a separate line on our income statement. The stock-based compensation is now presented in the same line as cash compensation paid to the same individuals. Stock-based compensation recognized in prior periods has been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period. In the second quarter, the charge related to stock-based compensation was $2.7 million as compared to $21.3 million in the prior year period.
Special Dividend
Last week, our Board of Directors approved a special one-time dividend of $0.50 per share. The special dividend will be payable on September 14, 2006, to stockholders of record on August 31, 2006.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to using net income to assess the organization’s overall financial health, Company management uses net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash equity compensation (“adjusted EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our businesses on a real-time basis. Adjusted EBITDA is considered an important indicator of operational strength, is a direct component of the Company’s annual compensation program, and is a significant factor in helping our management determine how to allocate resources and capital. Adjusted EBITDA is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Management considers adjusted EBITDA to be a critical measure of operational health because it captures all of the revenue and ongoing operating expenses of our businesses without the influence of (i) interest charges, which result from our capital structure, not our ongoing business efforts, (ii) taxes, which relate to the overall organizational financial return, not that of any one business, (iii) the capital expenditure costs associated with depreciation and amortization, which are a function of historical decisions on infrastructure and capacity, and (iv) the cost of non-cash equity compensation which, as a function of our stock price, can be highly variable, is not necessarily an indicator of current operating performance for any individual business unit, and is amortized over the appropriate period.
Adjusted EBITDA provides a means to directly evaluate the ability of our business operations to generate returns on a real-time basis. We provide disclosure of adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is useful for investors to have means to assess our performance as we do. While adjusted EBITDA is a customized non-GAAP measure, it also provides a means to analyze, value and compare our operating capabilities to those of companies with whom we compete, many of which have different compensation plans, depreciation and amortization costs, capital structures and tax burdens. But please note that our non-GAAP results may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures.
A limitation of adjusted EBITDA is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues for our overall organization. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures. Management also evaluates the cost of capitalized tangible and intangible assets by analyzing returns provided on the capital dollars deployed. A further limitation of adjusted EBITDA is that it does not include stock compensation expense related to our workforce. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
Three Months Ended June 30,
(unaudited, in thousands)
