MCLEAN, Va.,?Oct. 15, 2012?/PRNewswire/ ??Gannett Co., Inc.?(NYSE: GCI), a leading international media and marketing solutions company, today reported strong third quarter financial results. Earnings per diluted share, on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis were?$0.56?for the third quarter of 2012 compared to?$0.41?for the third quarter last year. Excluding special items in 2012 and 2011, third quarter earnings per diluted share were?$0.56?this year compared to?$0.44?for the third quarter of 2011.
Gracia Martore, president and chief executive officer, said, ?We are extremely pleased to report strong results and a return to revenue growth. We achieved record third quarter results in our Broadcasting segment. Our TV stations leveraged top 10 ratings positions and a more locally focused sales effort to generate substantially higher Olympic spending. Through strong ratings and a great footprint, they also maximized the opportunity to attract political spending. The early success of our new, all access content subscription model resulted in significant growth in company-wide circulation revenue, the first increase since early 2007. CareerBuilder once again delivered outstanding results that in turn enhanced Digital segment performance. Our digital strategies are working and company-wide digital revenue now represents more than 25 percent of total revenues. Finally, our continuing focus on creating efficiencies played an important role in delivering higher profitability and operating cash flow this quarter.?
Martore went on to say, ?Our results this quarter demonstrate that the growth strategy we announced in February is gaining traction. Our all access content subscription model has been rolled out in 71 markets and is delivering the circulation revenue gains we anticipated. Our digital marketing services business is operational in all markets and we are excited by its long term prospects. In September, we re-launched our flagship?USA?TODAY brand, which has been re-imagined and redesigned for today?s consumers and advertisers. We are seeing early successes and making great progress in positioning?Gannett?for growth in the digital era.?
Results for the third quarter of 2012 include?$14.7 million?of special charges affecting operating income in addition to?$10 million?of strategic investments. Non-cash facility consolidation charges totaled?$4.2 million?($2.4 million?after tax or?$0.01?per share) reflecting primarily accelerated depreciation costs primarily associated with the transfer of production activities. Workforce restructuring charges in our Publishing segment of?$7.9 million?($4.9 million?after tax or?$0.02?per share) reflect principally the impact of employee acceptances of an early retirement plan during the third quarter. Results for the third quarter of 2012 also include a pension settlement termination charge totaling?$2.5 million?($1.5 million?after tax or?$0.01?per share). Non-operating items included?$3.2 million?($2.0 million?after tax or?$0.01?per share) of non-cash charges for a newspaper partnership investment. Offsetting these was a tax benefit of?$13.1 million?($0.06?per share) related primarily to a tax settlement covering multiple years.
Results for the third quarter of 2011 included special charges affecting operating income related to workforce restructuring which totaled?$8.7 million?($5.3 million?after-tax or?$0.02?per share). A non-cash impairment for an investment in an online business of?$1.9 million($1.1 million?after-tax) was also recorded in that quarter which affected non-operating items.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS
?
Net income attributable to?Gannett?totaled?$133.1 million?in the third quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to?Gannett?on a non-GAAP basis was?$130.9 million, an increase of 23.3 percent from 2011. Reported operating income was?$217.2 million?in the third quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP operating income totaled?$231.9 million, 12.1 percent higher than the third quarter last year. Operating cash flow in the quarter (a non-GAAP term defined as operating income plus special items, depreciation and amortization) was?$280.4 millioncompared to?$255.8 million?in the third quarter a year ago.
Total operating revenues for the company in the third quarter were 3.4 percent higher than the prior year and totaled?$1.31 billion. Broadcasting revenues were substantially higher in the quarter increasing 36.0 percent driven by significantly higher ad demand associated with the Olympics and political spending. Digital segment revenues were up 4.7 percent due primarily to revenue growth at CareerBuilder. ?Publishing segment revenues were 3.0 percent lower reflecting softer advertising demand partially offset by a 5.6 percent increase in circulation revenue due to the positive impact of the all access content subscription model.
Operating expenses including the special charges noted above were?$1.09 billion?in the quarter, 2.3 percent higher than the third quarter in 2011. Higher costs associated with revenue growth drove the increases in the Broadcasting and Digital segment operating expenses. Strategic initiative investments that totaled approximately?$10 million?and a?$5 million?increase in pension expense were partially offset by continued cost reduction and cost efficiency efforts company-wide. ?Operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis, which exclude special items but include the impact of the investment in strategic initiatives and pension expense, were up just 1.7 percent from the third quarter last year and totaled?$1.08 billion.
In the first quarter, the company announced a new capital allocation plan that included a 150 percent increase in the annual dividend to?$0.80?per share and a?$300 million?share repurchase program targeted to be completed over the next two years. During the third quarter the company purchased approximately 2.4 million shares for?$35.5 million. Year-to-date, shares repurchased totaled 8.2 million shares for?$116.5 million.
PUBLISHING
Publishing segment operating revenues in the quarter were?$890.2 million?compared to?$917.8 million?in the third quarter in 2011, a 3.0 percent decline as the slow pace of the economic recovery resulted in soft advertising demand. Publishing revenue year-over-year comparisons improved sequentially within the quarter and third quarter comparisons were better than first and second quarter comparisons.
Advertising revenues totaled?$552.7 million, a 6.6 percent decline compared to the third quarter last year. Third quarter year-over-year comparisons were better than first and second quarter comparisons this year. Advertising revenues declined 7.0 percent in July, were down 6.8 percent in August, and were 5.9 percent lower in September.? In the U.S., advertising revenues decreased 6.0 percent in the quarter while at Newsquest, the company?s operations in the?UK, ad revenues declined 7.4 percent, in pounds. ?The percentage changes for the Publishing segment advertising revenue categories for the quarter were as follows:

?
All major advertising category comparisons in the third quarter were in line with or better than second quarter comparisons. Retail advertising was down 7.0 percent in the quarter as tepid economic growth impacted ad demand. Soft national ad demand domestically and in the?UK?resulted in an 8.1 percent decline in national advertising revenues although comparisons improved sequentially in the quarter.
Classified advertising revenues in the U.S. declined 3.4 percent, in line with second quarter comparisons. Automotive advertising was 1.3 percent higher compared to the third quarter in 2011. Employment was 4.4 percent lower due, in part, to tepid job growth. Real estate advertising was down 10.2 percent. The year-over-year comparison was stronger than the second quarter comparison and reflects modest improvements in the housing market. Classified advertising comparisons, in pounds, at Newsquest were uneven in the quarter and were 7.7 percent lower compared to the third quarter last year.
The percentage changes in the classified categories were as follows:
| Third Quarter 2012 Year-over-Year Comparisons | ||||

?
The rollout of the all access content subscription model drove a 5.6 percent increase in company-wide circulation revenue. Circulation revenue at our local domestic publishing operations grew for the second consecutive quarter and was up 9.8 percent.
The impact of the all access content subscription model as well as an increase in digital advertising and marketing solutions resulted in a 64.6 percent increase in digital publishing revenues. Digital revenues at our local domestic publishing operations were 76.0 percent higher due primarily to the all access content subscription model. At?USA?TODAY and its associated businesses, digital revenues were up 69.7 percent while Newsquest?s digital revenues were 10.4 percent higher, in pounds.
Reported publishing segment operating expenses were?$816.5 million?in the quarter up 0.8 percent compared to?$809.8 million?in the third quarter a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, Publishing segment operating expenses were slightly higher and totaled?$804.3 millionincluding?$9 million?of strategic investments. Newsprint expense was 11.4 percent lower in the quarter due to both lower consumption and newsprint usage prices. For the fourth quarter of 2012, the company expects its newsprint expense will again be below year ago levels.
Reported Publishing?segment operating income, which includes the impact of strategic investments, was?$73.7 million. Publishing segment operating income on a non-GAAP basis totaled?$85.9 million?in the quarter and operating cash flow was?$115.0 million.
?
BROADCASTING
Results in the Broadcasting segment (which include Captivate) reflected a record level of third quarter revenues and operating results. Operating revenues were 36.0 percent higher in the quarter and totaled?$237.0 million?compared to?$174.3 million?in the third quarter last year. ?Our TV stations leveraged their strong ratings and footprint to generate substantial ad spending associated with the Summer Olympics on our?NBC?affiliates and significantly higher political spending. A solid increase in retransmission revenue also contributed to the growth.
Television revenues were up 38.1 percent to?$233.0 million, compared to?$168.8 million?in the third quarter a year ago. The revenue growth was driven by?$41.7 million?in politically related advertising and approximately?$37 million?in ad spending related to the Summer Olympics. Approximately?$4 million?of political spending that aired during the Olympics is included in both the political and Olympic categories. Retransmission revenues were?$22.3 million, an increase of 11.5 percent in the quarter. Television station digital revenues were 6.4 percent higher than the third quarter of 2011. Based on current trends, the percentage increase in television revenues in the fourth quarter is projected to be in the very high-twenties. However, it is difficult to project fourth quarter revenues due to political advertising which will be more than a third of total spot advertising in the quarter.
Broadcasting segment operating expenses were?$118.4 million, an 11.9 percent increase compared to the third quarter last year. Higher sales and marketing costs associated with higher revenues drove the increase. Operating income was 73.1 percent higher and totaled?$118.7 million, while operating cash flow was up 65.9 percent and totaled?$125.6 million.
DIGITAL
Digital segment operating revenues totaled?$182.0 million?in the quarter, an increase of 4.7 percent due primarily to strong revenue growth at CareerBuilder. Digital segment operating expenses were up 1.8 percent to?$142.1 million?due to higher costs at CareerBuilder and strategic spending on digital initiatives. Digital segment operating income was 16.2 percent higher in the quarter and totaled?$39.9 million?while operating cash flow was up 14.8 percent and totaled?$48.3 million.
Digital revenues company-wide, including the Digital segment and all digital revenues generated by the other business segments, were?$334.6 million, up 22.8 percent from the third quarter in 2011. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of the all access content subscription model as well as higher revenue associated with digital advertising and marketing solutions across all segments.
At the end of the quarter,?Gannett?had about 120 domestic web sites affiliated with its local publishing and television markets,?USA?TODAY,?Gannett Government Media and Gannett Healthcare Group. USATODAY.com is one of the most popular newspaper sites and the?USA?TODAY app is now a top news app with 16.1 million downloads across iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows and Kindle Fire.?USA?TODAY?s mobile traffic was up in September compared to the prior year as page views increased 125 percent and total monthly visitors were 79 percent higher compared to September a year ago. In September,?Gannett?s consolidated domestic Internet audience share increased 12.0 percent from September of 2011 to 57.6 million unique visitors reaching 26.2 percent of the Internet audience, according to Comscore Media Metrix. Newsquest is also an Internet leader in the?UK?where its network of web sites attracted 89.2 million monthly page impressions from approximately 10.5 million unique users in?September 2012. CareerBuilder?s unique visitors in the third quarter averaged 21.7 million.
NON-OPERATING ITEMS
The company?s equity earnings include its share of operating results from unconsolidated investees including the?California Newspapers Partnership,?Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership, Tucson newspaper partnership and other online/digital businesses including?Classified Ventures.
Equity income in unconsolidated investments totaled?$3.0 million, a 17.2 percent increase compared to the third quarter last year. Excluding special non-cash charges in the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, equity income was up?$1.8 million. Stronger results at certain newspaper partnerships drove the increase.
Interest expense was?$35.8 million, a decline of 12.5 percent compared to the third quarter last year. The decline was primarily due to lower average debt balances slightly offset by higher average interest rates.

Net cash flow from operating activities was?$182.2 million, while free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) totaled?$161.8 million?in the quarter. Both numbers reflect the impact of an?$18 million?contribution to the company?s principal retirement plan during the third quarter. The balance of long term debt at quarter end was?$1.63 billion. Total cash at the end of the quarter was?$237.4 million.
USE OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION
The company uses non-GAAP financial performance and liquidity measures to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis.? These non-GAAP financial measures are not to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.
In this earnings report, the company discusses non-GAAP financial performance measures that exclude from its reported GAAP results the impact of special items consisting of workforce restructuring charges, facility consolidation expenses, pension settlement charges, charges to investments accounted for under the equity method and certain credits to its income tax provision. The company believes that such expenses and credits are not indicative of normal, ongoing operations and their inclusion in results makes for more difficult comparisons between periods and with peer group companies.? Workforce restructuring and facility consolidation expenses primarily relate to incremental expenses the company has incurred to consolidate or outsource production processes and centralize other functions.? These expenses include payroll and related benefit costs and accelerated depreciation.? The pension settlement charges result from the acceleration of expense related to the timing of certain pension payments. The charge related to the equity method investment in 2011 reflects the reduction of book value to fair value caused by significant and sustained declines in the operating performance of an investee. The charge in 2012 reflects accelerated depreciation recognized by an investee related to outsourcing certain production processes. The credits to the tax provision are related primarily to tax settlements covering multiple years.
The company also discusses operating cash flow, a non-GAAP financial performance measure that it believes offers a useful view of the overall operation of its businesses.? This non-GAAP measure is calculated by adding amounts associated with the special expense items described above, as well as depreciation and amortization, to operating income as reported on a GAAP basis.? This earnings report also discusses free cash flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure.? Free cash flow is defined as ?net cash flow from operating activities? as reported on the statement of cash flows reduced by ?purchase of property, plant and equipment? as well as ?payments for investments? and increased by ?proceeds from investments.?? The company believes that free cash flow is a useful measure for management and investors to evaluate the level of cash generated by operations and the ability of its operations to fund investments in its businesses, repay indebtedness, add to the company?s cash balance, or use in other discretionary activities. Management uses free cash flow to monitor cash available for repayment of indebtedness and in its discussions with the investment community.
Management uses non-GAAP financial performance measures for purposes of evaluating business unit and consolidated company performance. The company therefore believes that each of the non-GAAP measures presented provides useful information to investors by allowing them to view the company?s businesses through the eyes of management and the Board of Directors, facilitating comparison of results across historical periods, and providing a focus on the underlying ongoing operating performance of its businesses.? In addition, many of the company?s peer group companies present similar non-GAAP measures so the presentation of such measures facilitates industry comparisons.
Tabular reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures are contained in Tables 5 through 10 attached to this news release.
As previously announced, the company will hold an earnings conference call at?10:00 a.m. ET?today.? The call can be accessed via a live webcast through the company?s web site,?www.gannett.com, or listen-only conference lines.? U.S. callers should dial 1-888-466-4447 and international callers should dial 719-325-2337 at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the call.? The confirmation code for the conference call is 8138491. To access the replay, dial 1-888-203-1112 in the U.S.?International?callers should use the number 719-457-0820.
