Exhibit Number | Item | ||
99 | News release issued by Meredith Corporation dated April 24, 2014, reporting financial results for the third fiscal quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014. |
• | Local Media Group revenues increased 14 percent to $98 million, and operating profit grew 11 percent to $27 million, both records for a fiscal third quarter. Growth was driven by increased retransmission-related revenues and strong performance from Meredith television stations in Nashville, Phoenix and Las Vegas. |
• | Meredith began its ownership of KMOV-TV in St. Louis, the newest addition to its broadcasting portfolio. The CBS affiliate has tremendous news and advertising sales momentum. |
• | National Media Group non-advertising business performance was strong, as circulation and brand licensing revenues each grew in the mid-single-digits. Growth was driven by the launch of Allrecipes magazine and initiatives to grow its rate base, along with continued strong sales of Better Homes and Gardens’ licensed products at Walmart. This performance partially offset a weak advertising environment. |
• | Meredith continued to demonstrate its commitment to Total Shareholder Return, increasing its dividend 6 percent to $1.73 on an annualized basis, a yield of approximately 4 percent. Additionally, Meredith repurchased 200,000 shares of its stock in the third quarter, and has repurchased 1.4 million shares in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. |
• | Total advertising revenues were $112 million, compared to $129 million. The food, beauty and financial services categories were weaker, while the pets, non-prescription drug and entertainment categories were stronger. Meredith also expanded its innovative Meredith Sales Guarantee program to digital platforms. |
• | Meredith grew its share of magazine advertising revenues in its competitive set by one share point to 40 percent, according to the most recent data from Publishers Information Bureau. |
• | Circulation revenues grew 5 percent to $96 million, due primarily to the launch of Allrecipes magazine and initiatives to grow its rate base, along with strong performance from Meredith’s parenthood brands and Better Homes and Gardens. |
• | Brand Licensing revenues grew 6 percent, led by continued strong sales of over 3,000 SKU's of Better Homes and Gardens' licensed products at more than 4,000 Walmart stores nationwide. |
• | Non-political advertising revenues grew 6 percent to $70 million. Results reflect strength from the restaurant, home and retail categories, along with one month of operations of KMOV. |
• | Digital advertising revenues grew 27 percent, driven by increased traffic across the desktop and video platforms, the launch of new mobile apps and one month of operations of KMOV. |
• | Other revenues and operating expenses both increased, due primarily to growth in retransmission revenues from subscription television operators and programming fees paid to affiliated networks. |
• | Total company revenues are expected to be up low-single digits. |
• | Total Local Media Group revenues are expected to be up high teens. |
• | Total National Media Group revenues are expected to be down mid-single digits. |
• | Meredith expects fiscal 2014 fourth quarter earnings per share to range from $0.81 to $0.86, compared to $0.75 in the prior-year period. |
