Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
Merchandising Revenue Up On Strong Sales from Leading Partnerships; Publishing Revenue Up 11%
NEW YORK April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (NYSE: MSO) today
announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Company reported revenue for
the first quarter of $52.7 million.
Charles Koppelman, Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, said: We believe the
transformation of the Company is beginning to take hold as we seek to broaden our portfolio of
engaging content and quality products. In the first quarter, our Merchandising segment delivered
strong sales growth from our partnerships at The Home Depot and Macys. Higher Publishing revenues
included strong double-digit growth in digital advertising, while our Broadcasting team is
continuing to build an attractive block of programming on Hallmark Channel. We feel were
positioned to deliver profitable growth as we execute on our business plan in 2011 and beyond.
Robin Marino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Merchandising, stated: Merchandising
continued to build on our success in 2010, with revenue up 4% on an absolute basis and up 34% when
excluding Kmart and a one-time payment in the prior-year quarter. The quarter marks the first
anniversary of our launch at The Home Depot and the partnership is thriving. Our Martha Stewart
Collection at Macys also had an excellent quarter, with strong sales in key categories, and our
Martha Stewart Crafts and Martha Stewart Pets lines continued to perform. Looking ahead, we see our
Merchandising business poised for continued momentum throughout 2011.

Revenues were $52.7 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $53.2 million in the first

million exclusive license fee from Hallmark Channel, $1.2 million in revenue from the Kmart

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to using net income to assess the organizations overall financial health, Company
management uses consolidated net income/(loss) before interest income or expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, impairment, non-cash equity compensation expense and other expense
(including loss on equity securities) (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 Companys 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, (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, and (v) other income/(expense) which may include non-operational items.
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 which 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
We have included in this press release certain forward-looking statements, as that term is
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
are not historical facts but instead represent only our current beliefs regarding future events,
many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. These
statements include estimates of future financial performance, potential opportunities, expected
product line expansions and additions, future acceptability of our content and our businesses,
anticipated growth, and other statements that can be identified by terminology such as may,
will, should, could, position, expects, intends, plans, thinks, believes,
estimates, potential, seem, counting or continue or the negative of these terms or other
comparable terminology. The Companys actual results may differ materially from those projected in
these statements, and factors that could cause such differences include: adverse reactions to
publicity relating to Martha Stewart or Emeril Lagasse by consumers, advertisers and business
partners; the failure of national and/or local economies to continue to improve or renewed
deterioration of such economies; shifts in our business strategies; a loss of the services of Ms.
Stewart or Mr. Lagasse; a loss of the services of other key personnel; a renewed softening of the
domestic advertising market; changes in consumer reading, purchasing and/or television viewing
patterns to which our offerings are unable to respond; unanticipated increases in paper, postage or
printing costs; operational or financial problems at any of our contractual business partners; the
receptivity of consumers to our new product introductions; the inability to add to our partnerships
or capitalize on existing partnerships; and changes in government regulations affecting the
Companys industries.
Certain of these and other factors are discussed in more detail in the Companys most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, especially under the heading Risk Factors, which may be accessed through the SECs
