-10- Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Second Quarter Second Quarter 1995 Compared With Second Quarter 1994 Earnings per share for second quarter 1995 were $1.88, a $.96 increase from $.92 per share in 1994. The significant increase in earnings per share from prior year was due to the April 3rd sale of the Journal of Commerce (JoC). Excluding the gain on the sale of JoC, as well as reductions in the carrying value of certain investments, the results of operations contributed $.93, up $.01 from 1994. Earnings per share for the first two quarters of 1995 were $2.40 after the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for contributions, compared with $1.47 in 1994, a 63.3% improvement. Net income in the second quarter was $94.1 million, up 87.8% from 1994. Excluding the JoC after-tax gain of $53.8 million and a reduction in the carrying value of certain investments ($6.0 million after tax), net income would have been $46.4 million, down $3.8 million, or 7.5%, from the same period last year. Earnings per share increased, despite the net income decline, due to a 4.5 million reduction in average shares outstanding, resulting from share repurchases. Total operating revenue for the company rose 3.9% to $687.5 million. Operating income declined 11.1% to $84.7 million as a result of higher newsprint costs in 1995. For the year to date, total operating revenue for the company rose 5.4% to $1.4 billion. Operating income declined 2.7% to $155.7 million. Operating Revenue Newspaper advertising revenue increased 6.7% over the second quarter last year on a full-run ROP linage decrease of 0.1%. Improved average rates in all three advertising revenue categories and an increase in general and classified linage more than offset a 4.1% decline in full-run ROP retail linage. Year-to-date, newspaper advertising revenue increased 7.4% over 1994 on a full-run ROP linage increase of 0.8%. Classified advertising revenue increased 12.7% over the second quarter last year on a 3.7% full-run ROP linage increase. The employment category showed the largest gain, posting a 26.0% improvement, with linage up 18.3%. This is the twelfth consecutive quarter of classified revenue year-over-year improvement and the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth. For the first two quarters, classified revenue was up 13.8% on a 4.1% full-run ROP linage improvement. Retail advertising revenue improved by $5.3 million, or 2.7%, over last year on a 4.1% decrease in full-run ROP linage. Improved average rates and an 8.0% increase in preprints inserted more than offset the decline in full-run ROP linage. Retail revenue was up 3.5% for the year to date on a 2.4% decrease in full-run ROP linage. -11- General advertising revenue was $1.5 million, or 3.3%, over last year on a 4.3% increase in full-run ROP linage. For the year to date, general revenue was up 1.9% on a 2.7% rise in full-run ROP linage. Circulation revenue increased $1.5 million, or 1.2%, due to a 2.8% increase in average rates, offset by a 1.7% decline in average seven-day circulation. Revenue was up 1.4% so far this year. Other newspaper revenue increased by $3.7 million, or 22.2%, due in part to an increase in newsprint waste revenue that was driven by the rise in 1995 newsprint prices and in part to the growth in commercial print revenue. Other revenue was up 23.5% for the year to date. Business Information Services (BIS) operating revenue in the second quarter declined 4.5% to $121.7 million, reflecting the loss of JoC revenue. Excluding the impact of the JoC sale, operating revenue would have been up 8.6% from second quarter 1994. Knight-Ridder Financial contributed significantly to the revenue growth, posting a $5.9 million, or 13.8%, improvement over the prior year. BIS revenue was up 1.1% for the year to date, again due to the loss of revenue from the JoC sale. Excluding the impact of the JoC sale and acquisitions, operating revenue would have been up 6.8% for the year to date. Operating Costs Labor and employee benefit costs rose $6.5 million, or 2.4%, on a 1.6% decline in the work force and a 3.0% increase in average wage. If not for the recent sale of the JoC, the work force would have been up 1.6% due to BIS expansion. Newsprint, ink and supplement costs increased $28.0 million, or 35.1%, on a 0.5% increase in newsprint consumption and a 39.2% increase in the average newsprint price. These costs were up 27.3% for the first two quarters on a 1.2% increase in newsprint consumption and a 28.9% increase in the average newsprint price. Other operating costs rose $2.0 million, or 1.1%, over second quarter 1994. The increase resulted partly from volume related costs associated with operations. Other operating costs rose 3.4% for the year to date, due primarily to increased circulation promotion costs, increased distribution costs resulting from an emphasis on alternate delivery and volume-related costs associated with operations. Excluding the impact of the JoC sale, other operating costs would have been up 4.4% in the second quarter and 5.1% for the year to date. -12- Depreciation and amortization decreased 0.2% from second quarter 1994, primarily due to the JoC sale. Excluding the impact of the JoC sale, depreciation and amortization would have been up 2.1% from second quarter 1994. Non-Operating Items And Income Taxes Interest expense, net of interest income and interest expense capitalized, decreased $329,000 from last year. This was primarily due to higher capitalized interest expense from additional investment in our newsprint presses. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated companies and joint ventures increased by $5.1 million for the quarter and $8.2 million year to date due to earnings improvements from our newsprint mill investments, which are benefiting from the rise in newsprint prices. The "Other, Net" line of the non-operating section increased $81.9 million over second quarter 1994 as a result of the gain on the sale of the JoC, offset by the reduction in the carrying value of certain investments, primarily Ponderay Newsprint Company. The effective tax rate was 42.1% compared with 41.2% in the second quarter of 1994, primarily as a result of higher effective state tax rates. Other The sale of the Journal of Commerce to The Economist Group of London was completed on April 3rd for $115 million. The gain from the sale of the JoC was $53.8 million, after tax. In June, we formed a joint venture partnership with Landmark Communications, Inc., that will help newspapers into the Internet access and electronic publishing business. The new company, known as InfiNet, will expand Landmark's 18-month-old Internet venture. In May, we announced the merger of Realtron Corp. with PRC Realty Systems, Inc., which is owned by News Holdings Corporation, an affiliation of Knight-Ridder, Inc., Advance Publications, Cox Newspapers, Inc., and Tribune Co. During the second quarter of 1995, the company purchased approximately 1.1 million shares of Knight-Ridder common stock. The company has remaining authorization to repurchase 4.8 million shares and plans to repurchase additional shares should Knight-Ridder stock remain at an attractive price. In the first quarter of 1995, the company adopted Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 116 - "Accounting For Contributions Received and Contributions Made." The adoption of FAS 116 resulted in a $7.3 million charge to operations, or $.14 per share cumulative effective adjustment (net of tax). -13- Liquidity Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $53.1 million from $108.9 million in the second quarter of 1994. This was due largely to a decrease in operating income, the gain on the JoC sale and the accelerated timing of federal tax payments. The net cash generated from the sale of the JoC is included in investing activities. Cash and short-term cash investments were up $219,000 from June 26, 1994, and up $13.8 million from year end. Total debt increased $76.8 million from second quarter 1994 and increased $122.7 million from Dec. 25, 1994. Debt was up due to the repurchase of 1.1 million shares of the company's stock in the quarter and 5.0 million shares during the 12 months. The total-debt-to-total-capital ratio was 32.4%, up from 25.2% at year end and 27.0% in June 1994. Approximately $322 million in aggregate unused credit lines remained at the end of the quarter. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.1:1 at June 25, 1995, and 1.0:1 at June 26, 1994 and Dec. 25, 1994. Outlook for the Remainder of the Year We were pleased by results for the second quarter of the year. As we look ahead to the third quarter and the year end, we believe the advertising strength we have seen thus far may not be sustained, but we expect 1995 to be a year of earnings per share growth. The average price of newsprint increased to about 40% above what was paid in 1994 in the second quarter and will be up more in the third and fourth quarters, as the price increases work their way through our inventory. For the full year, newsprint costs will be held to a level about 40% above what was paid in 1994. BIS Division results, over the balance of the year, will reflect the absence of the Journal of Commerce, which was sold on April 3rd to The Economist Group. The current strike against the Detroit newspaper will cause adverse financial impact, which is difficult to estimate at this time. -14- PART II.
