The New York Times Company Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Results

Raises capital return target to at least 50% of Free Cash Flow and

Board authorizes increases in dividend and share repurchase program

NEW YORK, February 8, 2023 – The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) announced today fourth-quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $.43 compared with $.41 in the same period of 2021. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (defined below) was $.59 in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with $.43 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating profit decreased to $93.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $94.1 million in the same period of 2021 as higher digital subscription revenues at The New York Times Group segment (“NYTG”) and the impact from six additional days in the quarter were more than offset by a one-time charge related to the Company’s withdrawal from a multiemployer pension plan and operating losses at The Athletic segment (“The Athletic”). Adjusted operating profit (defined below) increased to $141.8 million from $109.3 million in the prior year, as higher digital subscription revenues at NYTG and the impact from the additional six days more than offset operating losses at The Athletic. Adjusted operating profit at NYTG increased to $148.7 million from $109.3 million as higher digital subscription and other revenues more than offset lower digital advertising revenues. See “Key Highlights” on the following page for additional metrics.

Meredith Kopit Levien, president and chief executive officer, The New York Times Company, said, “2022 was the first full year of executing our strategy to become the essential subscription for every English-speaking person seeking to understand and engage with the world. We are proud of our results, which reflect the differential value of our expanded product portfolio; the multi-revenue stream nature of our model; strong unit economics; and disciplined cost management.

“Consolidated operating profit was $202 million for the year, and adjusted operating profit was $348 million, well ahead of our guidance. In a challenging market, these results underscore the strength of our model and give us the confidence to announce a new mid-term target for capital return, a new share repurchase authorization, and our 5th consecutive annual increase to the quarterly dividend payment.

“It was our second best year for net digital subscriber additions, behind only 2020. We had 240,000 net digital subscriber additions in Q4, bringing our 2022 total to just over one million. Importantly, with each passing quarter, we saw more proof that there is strong demand for a bundle of our news and lifestyle products, hitting records on both total bundle volume and the share of new subscribers choosing the bundle.

“We are entering 2023 with meaningful momentum toward our goal of 15 million subscribers by year end 2027. While our path to getting there is unlikely to be linear, we have deep conviction in our market opportunity and ability to create value for shareholders.”

Comparisons

Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are for the fourth quarter of 2022 to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Because of the change in the Company’s fiscal calendar from a 52/53 week fiscal year ending the last Sunday of December to a calendar year, the 2022 fourth quarter and year include an additional six days compared with the 2021 fourth quarter and year. A reconciliation of revenues excluding the estimated impact of the additional six days is included in the exhibits to this release.

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company has updated its definition of adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets in addition to previously excluded severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items. Excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets to arrive at adjusted diluted EPS allows for comparability between periods of the Company’s operating performance. For comparison purposes, prior period adjusted diluted EPS have been recast in accordance with the updated definition.

2

Beginning with the second quarter of 2022, the Company has updated its rounding methodology for subscribers (including net subscriber additions), subscriptions (including net subscription additions) and subscriber-related metrics (other than ARPU) and will round to the nearest ten thousand instead of the nearest thousand as it had previously been presenting.

This release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including operating profit before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items (or adjusted operating profit, and as expressed as a percentage of revenues, adjusted operating profit margin); operating costs before depreciation, amortization, severance and multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs (or adjusted operating costs); diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items (or adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations); and net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (or free cash flow). Refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information” in the exhibits for a discussion of management’s reasons for the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Certain guidance is provided on a non-GAAP basis and not reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting amounts necessary for such reconciliation.

Fourth quarter 2022 results included the following special items:

•A $22.1 million charge ($16.2 million or $0.10 per share after tax) in connection with the Company’s withdrawal from a multiemployer pension plan.

•A $4.1 million charge ($3.0 million or $0.02 per share after tax) related to an impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset.

There were no special items in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations

Revenues

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 12.3 percent to $667.5 million from $594.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Subscription revenues increased 17.9 percent to $414.1 million, advertising revenues increased 1.4 percent to $179.2 million and other revenues increased 12.1 percent to $74.3 million. Excluding the impact of the additional six days, estimated total revenues increased 7.2 percent, with subscription revenues up 11.6 percent, advertising revenues down 2.4 percent and other revenues up 9.4 percent.

Subscription revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 rose primarily due to the large number of subscribers whose introductory promotional subscriptions have graduated to higher prices, growth in the number of subscribers to the Company’s digital-only products, the inclusion of subscription revenue from The Athletic, as well as the impact from the additional six days in the quarter. Subscription revenue from digital-only products increased 31.0 percent, to $269.2 million. Print subscription revenues decreased 0.6 percent to $144.9 million, largely due to lower domestic home delivery revenue, which declined 0.6 percent. Excluding the impact of the additional six days, estimated revenue from digital-only subscription products increased 22.7 percent to $252.2 million and print subscription revenue decreased 4.1 percent to $139.8 million.

The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with approximately 9.55 million paid subscribers with approximately 10.98 million paid subscriptions across its print and digital products. Of the 9.55 million subscribers, approximately 8.83 million were paid digital-only subscribers with approximately 10.26 million paid digital-only subscriptions.

3

Compared with the end of the third quarter of 2022, there was a net increase of 240,000 digital-only subscribers and 240,000 digital-only subscriptions. Compared with the end of the fourth quarter of 2021, there was a net increase of 1,010,000 digital-only subscribers and 1,100,000 digital-only subscriptions. The year-over-year result excludes approximately 1,029,000 subscribers and 1,161,000 subscriptions that were added as a result of the acquisition of The Athletic in the first quarter of 2022.

Fourth-quarter 2022 digital advertising revenue increased 0.6 percent and print advertising revenue increased 2.6 percent. Digital advertising revenue was $111.9 million, or 62.4 percent of total Company advertising revenues, compared with $111.1 million, or 62.9 percent, in the fourth quarter of 2021. Digital advertising revenue increased primarily as a result of the impact of the additional six days, as well as higher direct-sold advertising at NYTG and the addition of advertising revenue from The Athletic, which more than offset lower creative services revenue and pressure from the macroeconomic environment. Print advertising revenue increased primarily in the luxury category and was also impacted by macroeconomic factors. Excluding the impact of the additional six days, estimated digital advertising revenue decreased 4.2 percent to $106.5 million, while print advertising revenue increased 0.7 percent.

Other revenues increased 12.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of higher Wirecutter affiliate revenues and revenues from live events and licensing, which was partially offset by lower television revenues.

Operating Costs

Total operating costs increased 9.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $548.3 million compared with $500.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, while adjusted operating costs increased 8.4 percent to $525.7 million from $484.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating costs that we refer to as “technology costs,” consisting of product development costs as well as components of costs of revenues and general and administrative costs as described below, increased 30.1 percent to $103.5 million compared with $79.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cost of revenue increased 18.5 percent to $332.1 million compared with $280.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, largely due to the inclusion of operating costs of The Athletic, the impact from the additional six days in the quarter, growth in the number of employees who work in the newsroom, and higher digital content delivery and raw material print costs. Technology costs in cost of revenue, which consist primarily of costs related to content delivery and subscriber technology, increased 28.8 percent to $29.3 million compared with $22.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Sales and marketing costs decreased 35.9 percent to $62.5 million compared with $97.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to lower media expenses at NYTG, which was partially offset by the inclusion of The Athletic sales and marketing costs and the impact from the additional six days in the quarter. Media expenses, a component of sales and marketing costs that represents the cost to promote our subscription business, decreased 60.8 percent to $26.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $67.1 million in 2021.

Product development costs increased 33.3 percent to $55.5 million compared with $41.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, largely due to growth in the number of digital product development employees in connection with digital subscription strategic initiatives as well as the inclusion of The Athletic operating costs and the impact from the additional six days in the quarter. All product development costs are technology costs.

General and administrative costs increased 14.9 percent to $76.8 million compared with $66.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, largely due to growth in the number of employees, our acquisition of The Athletic, partially offset by a lower incentive compensation accrual. Technology costs in general and

4

administrative, which consist primarily of costs related to enterprise technology and information security, increased 23.1 percent to $18.7 million compared with $15.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Business Segment Results

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we have two reportable segments: NYTG and The Athletic. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company includes in its presentation revenues and adjusted operating costs to arrive at adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment. Adjusted operating costs are defined as operating costs before depreciation and amortization, severance and multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Refer to Segment Information in the exhibits for more information on these segment measures.

The New York Times Group

NYTG revenues grew 7.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $637.6 million from $594.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Subscription revenues increased 11.0 percent to $390.0 million from $351.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to growth in subscription revenues from digital-only products and the impact of the additional six days in the quarter. Advertising revenues decreased 1.6 percent to $173.9 million from $176.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to lower digital advertising revenues.

NYTG adjusted operating costs increased 0.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $488.9 million from $484.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

NYTG adjusted operating profit increased 36.0 percent to $148.7 million from $109.3 million in the prior year primarily as a result of higher digital-only subscription revenues and the impact of the additional six days in the quarter.

The Athletic

Revenues at The Athletic totaled $29.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily from subscription revenues.

The Athletic adjusted operating costs totaled $36.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, largely from cost of revenue, which is primarily related to journalism costs.

The Athletic adjusted operating loss totaled $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Consolidated Other Data

Interest Income and Other, net

Interest income and other, net in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.4 million compared with $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily a result of higher interest rates and interest income in connection with our agreement to lease, beginning in second quarter, and subsequently sell approximately four acres of land at our College Point, N.Y., printing and distribution facility.

Income Taxes

The Company had income tax expense of $22.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with income tax expense of $22.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective income tax rate was 24.4 percent in both the fourth quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021.

Earnings Per Share

Diluted EPS from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $.43 compared with $.41 in the same period of 2021. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations was $.59 in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with $.43 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and marketable securities of $486.3 million, a decrease of $588.2 million from $1.07 billion as of December 26, 2021. Approximately $550.0 million was used to fund the purchase price of The Athletic in February 2022.

In February 2022, the Board of Directors approved a $150 million Class A stock repurchase program. As of February 3, 2023, we had repurchased 3,344,445 shares for approximately $112.1 million and $37.9 million remained under this authorization.

The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, and the Company did not have other outstanding debt.

Dividends and Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a $.11 dividend per share on the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock, an increase of $.02 from the previous quarter. The dividend is payable on April 20, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 5, 2023.

The Board of Directors also approved a new $250 million Class A share repurchase program. Class A shares may be purchased from time to time as market conditions warrant, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. There is no expiration date with respect to this authorization. The new authorization is in addition to the existing authorization referred to under “Liquidity” above.

The Company now aims to return at least 50% of free cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases over the next three to five years, an increase from the target initially announced in June 2022.

Pension Obligations

As of December 31, 2022, our qualified pension plans had plan assets that were approximately $70 million above the present value of future benefits obligations, compared with approximately $74 million as of December 26, 2021. We made contributions of approximately $11 million to certain qualified pension plans in 2022. We expect to make contributions in 2023 to satisfy minimum funding requirements of approximately $11 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled approximately $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with approximately $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in capital expenditures in 2022 was primarily driven by higher expenditures in the prior year related to improvements in our headquarters building, partially offset by higher expenditures in 2022 related to improvements at a newsroom bureau. The expenditures in 2021 and 2022 were intended to address growth in the number of employees and to enhance technologies that support hybrid work as our employees work both from the office and remotely.

Outlook

Below is the Company’s guidance for revenue and operating costs for the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022. Note that the Company acquired The Athletic on February 1, 2022, and as a result, The Athletic’s first quarter 2022 result only reflects approximately two-thirds of the quarter.

	The New York Times Company
Digital-only subscription revenues	increase 13 - 16%
Total subscription revenues	increase 6 - 9%
Digital advertising revenues	decrease low-single digits
Total advertising revenues	decrease low-single digits
Other revenue	increase mid-single digits
Operating costs	increase 6 - 8%
Adjusted operating costs	increase 6 - 8%

The Company expects the following on a pre-tax basis in 2023:

•Depreciation and amortization: approximately $90 million, which includes approximately $29 million of acquired intangible assets amortization largely related to the acquisition of The Athletic,

•Interest income and other, net: approximately $9 million to $11 million, and

•Capital expenditures: approximately $50 million.

(1) “Digital-only subscriber Average Revenue per User” or “Digital-only subscriber ARPU” is calculated by dividing the average monthly digital subscription revenue (calculated by dividing digital subscription revenue in the quarter by 3.25 to reflect a 28-day billing cycle) in the measurement period by the average number of digital subscribers during the period.
(2) Subscribers with a digital bundle or paid digital-only subscriptions that include access to two or more of the Company’s products, including through separate standalone subscriptions. This metric was previously called “Total Multiproduct subscribers” and included subscribers with a print home-delivery subscription. The three quarters prior to the third quarter of 2022 have been recast to reflect this change.
(3) Subscribers with a paid digital-only subscription that includes the ability to access the Company’s digital news product.
(4) Subscribers with a paid digital-only subscription that includes the ability to access The Athletic. This metric was previously called “Subscribers with The Athletic”.

While the Company is moving toward an emphasis on individual subscriber growth rather than growth of total subscriptions, we are reporting on the number of subscriptions at least through this quarter. The following table summarizes digital and print subscriptions as of the end of the five most recent fiscal quarters:

SEGMENT INFORMATION
(Amounts in thousands)
The results of The Athletic have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning February 1, 2022, the date of the acquisition. The Athletic is a separate reportable segment of the Company. As a result, beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we have two reportable segments: NYTG and The Athletic. Management uses adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company includes in its presentation revenues and adjusted operating costs to arrive at adjusted operating profit (loss) by segment. Adjusted operating costs are defined as operating costs before depreciation and amortization, severance and multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs. Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items. Adjusted operating profit expressed as a percentage of revenues is referred to as adjusted operating profit margin. Subscription revenue from our digital subscription package (or “bundle”) is allocated to NYTG and The Athletic. We allocate revenue first to our digital news product based on its list price and then the remaining bundle revenue is allocated to the other products in the bundle, including The Athletic, based on their relative list price. The direct variable expenses associated with the bundle, which include credit card fees, third party fees and sales taxes, are allocated to NYTG and The Athletic based on a historical actual percentage of these costs to bundle revenue.

THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION

In this release, the Company has referred to non-GAAP financial information with respect to diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items (or adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations); operating profit before depreciation, amortization, severance, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs and special items (or adjusted operating profit, and as divided by revenues, adjusted operating profit margin); operating costs before depreciation, amortization, severance and multiemployer pension withdrawal costs (or adjusted operating costs); and net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (or free cash flow). Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company has updated its definition of adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets in addition to previously excluded severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items, which allows for comparability between periods of the Company’s operating performance. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because management reviews them on a regular basis and uses them to evaluate and manage the performance of the Company’s operations. Management believes that, for the reasons outlined below, these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors as a supplement to reported diluted earnings/(loss) per share from continuing operations, operating profit/(loss) and operating costs. However, these measures should be evaluated only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternative or superior measures of GAAP results.

Adjusted diluted EPS provides useful information in evaluating the Company’s period-to-period performance because it eliminates items that the Company does not consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. Adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin are useful in evaluating the ongoing performance of the Company’s business as they exclude the significant non-cash impact of depreciation and amortization as well as items not indicative of ongoing operating activities. Total operating costs include depreciation, amortization, severance and multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs. Total operating costs excluding these items provide investors with helpful supplemental information on the Company’s underlying operating costs that is used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Management considers special items, which may include impairment charges, pension settlement charges, acquisition-related costs and other items that arise from time to time, to be outside the ordinary course of our operations. Management believes that excluding these items provides a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s operating performance and allows more accurate comparisons of the Company’s operating results to historical performance. In addition, management excludes severance costs, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, because it believes these costs do not necessarily reflect expected future operating costs and do not contribute to a meaningful comparison of the Company’s operating results to historical performance.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. The Company considers free cash flow to provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash that is available to be used to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and for strategic opportunities including, among others, investing in the Company’s business, strategic acquisitions, dividend payouts and repurchasing stock. In addition, management uses free cash flow to set targets for return of capital to stockholders in the form of dividends or share repurchases.

Non-operating retirement costs include (i) interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and loss components and amortization of prior service credits of single-employer pension expense, (ii) interest cost, amortization of actuarial gains and loss components and amortization of prior service credits of retirement medical expense and (iii) all multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs. These non-operating retirement costs are primarily tied to financial market performance including changes in market interest rates and investment performance. Management considers non-operating retirement costs to be outside the performance of the business and believes that presenting adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding non-operating retirement costs and presenting adjusted operating results excluding multiemployer pension plan withdrawal costs, in addition to the Company’s GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations and GAAP operating results, provide increased transparency and a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s operating business performance.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set out in the tables below.

Impact of Modification of Non-GAAP Measures Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company has updated its definition of adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets in addition to previously excluded severance, non-operating retirement costs and special items. Excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets to arrive at adjusted diluted EPS allows for comparability between periods of the Company’s operating performance.
