Third-Quarter Highlights

 

 

Revenues rise 11% to $7.1 billion, highest growth rate since third quarter of 2007

 

 

Adjusted Operating Income increases 18%, driven by a record quarter at Warner Bros.

 

 

Adjusted EPS grows 27% to $0.79

 

 

Company repurchases 110 million shares for $3.7 billion year-to-date through October 28, 2011

NEW YORK, November 2, 2011 – Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bewkes said: “This was another terrific quarter for us, financially and strategically, putting us on pace to exceed our prior financial goals for the year. Our results demonstrate the success of Time Warner’s focus on investing in great content that audiences love and leading the evolution of how it’s delivered. Warner Bros. had a record-setting quarter, led by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which grossed $1.3 billion at the box office globally, ranking as the 3rd highest grossing film ever and capping an unprecedented franchise run. Warner Bros. also has had an excellent start in the new TV season with returning series such as The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly and Two and a Half Men, and new shows including 2 Broke Girls, Suburgatory and Person of Interest. We’re also pleased with the early success of The Big Bang Theory on TBS, illustrating how our content can create value across the company.”

Mr. Bewkes continued: “At the studio, networks and publishing, this dedication to quality content is generating results and accolades, including HBO winning more Primetime Emmy Awards than any other network for the tenth straight year. And, with our partner CBS, we recently concluded new licensing deals for The CW network with Netflix and Hulu that exemplify our value-enhancing approach to new digital platforms and reinforce the increasing demand for our high quality content. Underscoring our confidence in the value of our stock and our strategic position, during the last few months we accelerated the pace of our stock repurchases, and we have repurchased $3.7 billion of our stock so far this year.”

Company Results

In the quarter, Revenues grew 11% from the same period in 2010 to $7.1 billion, reflecting higher revenues at the Filmed Entertainment and Networks segments. Adjusted Operating Income and Operating Income each grew 18% to $1.6 billion, due to increases at the Filmed Entertainment segment. Adjusted Operating Income and Operating Income margins were both 23% versus 21% in the 2010 quarter.

In the third quarter, the Company posted Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Common Share (“Adjusted EPS”) of $0.79 versus $0.62 for the year-ago quarter. Diluted Income per Common Share was $0.78 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $0.46 in the prior-year quarter.


For the first nine months of 2011, Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations reached $2.1 billion, and Free Cash Flow totaled $1.7 billion. As of September 30, 2011, Net Debt was $15.3 billion, up from $12.9 billion at the end of 2010, due to share repurchases and dividends, as well as investment and acquisition spending, offset by the generation of Free Cash Flow.

Refer to “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for a discussion of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Stock Repurchase Program Update

In January, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the amount remaining on the Company’s common stock repurchase program to $5.0 billion for purchases beginning January 1, 2011.

From January 1 through October 28, 2011, the Company repurchased 110 million shares of its common stock for $3.7 billion. These amounts reflect the purchase of 45 million shares of common stock for $1.4 billion since the amounts reported in the Company’s second quarter earnings release issued on August 3, 2011.

Presented below is a discussion of the performance of Time Warner’s segments for the third quarter of 2011. Unless otherwise noted, the dollar amounts in parentheses represent year-over-year changes.

NETWORKS (Turner Broadcasting and HBO)

Revenues rose 7% ($204 million) to $3.2 billion, benefitting from growth of 6% ($112 million) in Subscription revenues and 9% ($74 million) in Advertising revenues. The increase in Subscription revenues resulted mainly from higher domestic rates, international subscriber growth and the favorable effect of foreign exchange rates. Advertising revenues benefitted from growth at Turner’s international networks and strong pricing at domestic networks.

Adjusted Operating Income decreased 4% ($45 million) to $1.1 billion, as higher revenues were more than offset by increased expenses, including higher programming and marketing costs. Programming costs grew 11%, due primarily to higher expenses for originals and sports programming and international growth. Higher sports programming costs were due largely to the timing of sports events. Adjusted Operating Income in the prior year quarter benefited from a $58 million reserve reversal in connection with the resolution of litigation relating to the 2004 sale of the Atlanta Hawks and Thrashers sports franchises. Adjusted Operating Income would have increased 1% without the reserve reversal. Operating Income decreased 4% ($46 million) to $1.1 billion.

TNT’s Falling Skies ranked as advertising-supported cable’s highest-rated new series during the third quarter with 6.7 million total viewers. CNN viewership was up nearly 50% over the prior year quarter among adults 25-54 in prime time. For key adult and male viewers in total-day delivery, Adult Swim finished the quarter #1 among advertising-supported cable networks.

At the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards, HBO received 19 awards, the most of any network for the tenth consecutive year, with Boardwalk Empire leading all nominees with eight awards and Mildred Pierce receiving five. HBO will continue the rollout of its HBO GO on demand broadband service in the fourth quarter of 2011 with the addition of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Roku’s streaming player.

FILMED ENTERTAINMENT (Warner Bros.)

Revenues increased 19% ($521 million) to $3.3 billion, led by the strong theatrical performance of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and higher television license fees from the off-network availability of The Big Bang Theory. This growth was partly offset by lower home video revenues, due to difficult comparisons to the prior year quarter’s release of Clash of the Titans, and fewer television availabilities for theatrical product.

Adjusted Operating Income rose 153% ($319 million) to $528 million, due mainly to higher revenues, lower film valuation adjustments and lower pre-release advertising expenses, offset partially by higher overhead costs related in part to acquisitions. Operating Income increased 162% ($324 million) to $524 million.

For the first nine months of 2011, Warner Bros. achieved the top spot in domestic box office share with $1.5 billion, led by the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and The Hangover Part II. Last month, Warner Home Video released the first two movies with UltraViolet-enabled digital copies, Horrible Bosses and Green Lantern. Consumers can currently access these movies on multiple platforms through Flixster, and will be able to access these and other films in the future through a growing number of UltraViolet services. On October 13, 2011, Warner Bros. and CBS Corporation announced a licensing agreement with Netflix, Inc. that will allow Netflix’s U.S. members to stream previous seasons of scripted series that are currently on The CW network (“The CW”) or that premiere on the network through the 2014-15 season. In addition, on October 28, 2011, The CW announced a five-year licensing agreement with Hulu

for the rights to stream in-season episodes of The CW’s programming on the Hulu Plus subscription service and the free, advertising-supported Hulu service.

PUBLISHING (Time Inc.)

Revenues declined 1% ($12 million) to $889 million, reflecting decreases of 1% ($2 million) in Subscription revenues and 3% ($16 million) in Advertising revenues, partially offset by an increase of 5% ($5 million) in Other revenues. Subscription revenues were essentially flat due primarily to lower domestic newsstand revenues offset by increases in domestic subscription revenues. Advertising revenues decreased due to lower domestic magazine advertising revenues and a decline in digital advertising revenues attributable to the transfer of management of SI.com and Golf.com to Turner in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Operating Income decreased 12% ($17 million) to $124 million, due primarily to lower revenues and higher expenses, including increased paper costs.

During the first nine months of 2011, Time Inc. maintained its leading share of overall domestic magazine advertising and is at 21.1% (Publishers Information Bureau data).

CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME AND PER SHARE RESULTS

Adjusted EPS was $0.79 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $0.62 in last year’s third quarter. The increase in Adjusted EPS primarily reflected higher Adjusted Operating Income and fewer shares outstanding.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. shareholders of $822 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share. This compares to Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. shareholders in 2010’s third quarter of $522 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share.

For the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, the Company reported Net Income of $822 million and $520 million, respectively.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company utilizes Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Income margin, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its businesses. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is Operating Income (Loss) excluding the impact of noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; gains and losses on operating assets; external costs related to mergers, acquisitions, or dispositions, as well as contingent consideration related to such transactions, to the extent such costs are expensed; and amounts related to securities litigation and government investigations. Adjusted Operating Income margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income divided by Revenues. These measures are considered important indicators of the operational strength of the Company’s businesses.

Adjusted Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders is Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders excluding noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets and investments; gains and losses on operating assets, liabilities and investments; external costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments or dispositions, as well as contingent consideration related to such transactions, to the extent such costs are expensed; amounts related to securities litigation and government investigations; and amounts attributable to businesses classified as discontinued operations, as well as the impact of taxes and noncontrolling interests on the above items. Similarly, Adjusted EPS is Diluted Net Income per Common Share attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders excluding the above items.

Adjusted Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders and Adjusted EPS are considered important indicators of the operational strength of the Company’s businesses as these measures eliminate amounts that do not reflect the fundamental performance of the Company’s businesses. The Company utilizes Adjusted EPS, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its businesses both on an absolute basis and relative to its peers and the broader market. Many investors also use an adjusted EPS measure as a common basis for comparing the performance of different companies. Some limitations of Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Operating Income margin, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders and Adjusted EPS are that they do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of the Company’s businesses and they involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance.

Free Cash Flow is Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations plus payments related to securities litigation and government investigations (net of any insurance recoveries), external costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments or dispositions, to the extent such costs are expensed, and excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, less capital expenditures, principal payments on capital leases and partnership distributions, if any. The Company uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate its businesses and this measure is considered an important indicator of the Company’s liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt, make strategic investments, pay dividends to common shareholders and repurchase stock. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect payments made in connection with securities litigation and government investigations, which reduce liquidity.

A general limitation of these measures is that they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and excluded items. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company’s Operating Income (Loss), Net Income attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders, Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share and various cash flow measures (e.g., Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
