NEW YORK, August 6, 2014 – Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bewkes said: “We had another strong quarter, reflecting the strength of our businesses and our potential for continued growth as we deliver on our strategic plan to be the world’s leading video content company. Adjusted Operating Income increased 17%, while Adjusted EPS rose 29%, and over the first half of the year we generated $2 billion of Free Cash Flow, up 16% year-over-year. We achieved these results in a milestone quarter during which we spun off Time Inc. as an independent, publicly-traded company, further unlocking value for our shareholders and giving Time Warner even more operational focus. Our commitment to invest in great storytelling was evident across the Company. With hits like Game of Thrones, True Detective and Silicon Valley, HBO once again led the industry with 99 Primetime Emmy nominations, more than double its nearest competitor for the second straight year and the most nominations for the fourteenth year in a row. At Turner, TNT debuted the two most-watched new series on ad-supported cable this year with The Last Ship and Murder in the First and ranked as ad-supported cable’s #1 primetime network among total viewers and adults 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 in the second quarter. Turner’s other networks also continued to lead the industry, and in the second quarter TBS finished as the #3 ad-supported cable network in primetime among adults 18-49 and Adult Swim ended as ad-supported cable’s #1 network in total day among adults 18-34 and 18-49. Heading into the 2014-2015 television season, Warner Bros. is the #1 producer of shows for broadcast networks for the 11th time in the past 12 seasons. Starting this fall, Warner Bros. will have 31 shows on broadcast networks, including at least two primetime series on each network, and 60 shows across broadcast and cable. And in film, Warner Bros. benefited in the quarter from the home video releases of the second Hobbit installment and The LEGO Movie, which, in addition to being one of the year’s biggest box office hits, has also become a franchise property for the studio. Further demonstrating our commitment to shareholder returns, so far this year we’ve returned over $4 billion to our shareholders in the form of share buybacks and dividends, and our board in June approved an additional $5 billion of share repurchases.”


Company Results1

Revenues increased 3% to $6.8 billion in the second quarter of 2014 due to growth at Home Box Office and Turner. Adjusted Operating Income grew 17% to $1.6 billion due to increases at Turner, Home Box Office and Warner Bros. Operating Income increased 13% to $1.6 billion. Adjusted Operating Income and Operating Income margins were 24% and 23% in the second quarter of 2014, respectively, compared to 21% for each in the prior year quarter.

In the second quarter, the Company posted Adjusted Diluted Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations (“Adjusted EPS”) of $0.98 versus $0.76 for the year-ago quarter. Diluted Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations was $0.94 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.73 for last year’s second quarter.

For the first six months of 2014, Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations reached $2.1 billion and Free Cash Flow totaled $2.0 billion. As of June 30, 2014, Net Debt was $18.1 billion, down from $18.3 billion at the end of 2013, due to the generation of Free Cash Flow, cash received from Time Inc. in connection with the spin-off and proceeds from the sale of the Company’s space in Time Warner Center, offset in part by cash used for share repurchases and dividends.

Stock Repurchase Program Update

From January 1, 2014 through August 1, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 51 million shares of common stock for approximately $3.5 billion. These amounts reflect the purchase of 32 million shares of common stock for $2.3 billion since the amounts reported in the Company’s first quarter earnings release on April 30, 2014.

In June 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $5 billion of share repurchases. At August 1, 2014, $6.5 billion remained available for repurchases.

 

 

1 On June 6, 2014, the Company completed the legal and structural separation of Time Inc. from the Company. Accordingly, the Company has recast its financial information to present the financial condition and results of operations of its former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Presented below is a discussion of the performance of Time Warner’s segments for the second quarter of 2014. Unless otherwise noted, the dollar amounts in parentheses represent year-over-year changes.

TURNER

Revenues rose 5% ($123 million) to $2.8 billion, mainly due to growth of 8% ($99 million) in Subscription revenues and 1% ($13 million) in Advertising revenues. The increase in Subscription revenues was primarily due to higher domestic rates and international growth, partially offset by the negative effect of foreign currency exchange rates. Advertising revenues increased due to growth at Turner’s domestic and international networks, partially offset by the negative effect of foreign currency exchange rates. Domestic advertising revenues benefited from the airing of two 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship tournament (the “NCAA Tournament”) semifinal games and higher pricing, partially offset by lower audience delivery and demand.

Adjusted Operating Income increased 15% ($125 million) to $940 million due to higher revenues. Expenses were flat in the quarter as higher programming costs were offset by lower marketing expenses and the reversal of an accrued contingency. Programming costs grew 5% primarily due to higher costs related to the NCAA Tournament.

Operating Income increased 14% ($114 million) to $929 million.

TNT ranked as ad-supported cable’s #1 primetime network among total viewers and adults 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 in the second quarter and The Last Ship and Murder in the First are the two most-watched new series on ad-supported cable year-to-date. TBS was the #3 ad-supported cable network in primetime among adults 18-49 and 25-54, and The Big Bang Theory remained the #1 comedy on ad-supported cable among total viewers and adults 18-49 for the 10th consecutive quarter. Adult Swim was ad-supported cable’s #1 total day network among adults 18-24, 18-34 and 18-49, and it ranked #1 among adults 18-34 for the 25th consecutive quarter.

HOME BOX OFFICE

Revenues grew 17% ($201 million) to $1.4 billion, reflecting increases of 10% ($101 million) in Subscription revenues and 56% ($98 million) in Content revenues. Subscription revenues increased mainly from higher domestic rates and the consolidation of HBO Asia and HBO South Asia (collectively, “HBO Asia”) and HBO Nordic. The increase in Content revenues was primarily due to the licensing of select original programming to Amazon Prime Instant Video.

Adjusted Operating Income rose 23% ($102 million) to $552 million, reflecting higher revenues, partially offset by increased expenses due to higher programming costs as well as the comparison against the prior year’s quarter, which benefited from a $31 million adjustment to a receivable allowance. Programming costs grew 11% due to increased original programming expenses as well as the consolidation of HBO Asia and HBO Nordic.

Operating Income increased 19% ($89 million) to $548 million. The prior year quarter included a gain as a result of Home Box Office’s acquisition of its former partner’s interest in HBO Nordic.

HBO received 99 Primetime Emmy nominations in July, the most for any network for the fourteenth year in a row and more than double the nominations of the closest competitor for the second consecutive year. Nominations included Outstanding Drama Series for Game of Thrones and True Detective, Outstanding Comedy Series for Silicon Valley and VEEP and Outstanding Television Movie for Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight and The Normal Heart. The fourth season of Game of Thrones, which concluded in June, averaged a gross audience of 19.0 million viewers making it the most watched season of an original series in HBO’s history, surpassing the most watched season of The Sopranos in 2002.

WARNER BROS.

Revenues decreased 2% ($71 million) to $2.9 billion, mainly due to softer theatrical performance in the current year quarter compared to the prior year’s theatrical slate, which included Man of Steel, The Hangover Part III and The Great Gatsby. The decline was partially offset by an increase in home entertainment revenues due to the timing of the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the strong performance of The LEGO Movie and continued growth in electronic sell-through, as well as growth in license fees from television production.

Adjusted Operating Income increased 28% ($52 million) to $236 million as contributions from home entertainment and television, as well as lower restructuring costs and reversals of bad debt reserves, more than offset the impact of softer theatrical performances.

Operating Income grew 29% ($53 million) to $234 million.

Heading into the 2014-2015 television season, Warner Bros. Television Group is once again the #1 producer of shows for the broadcast networks, a position it has held for 11 of the past 12 seasons. Warner Bros. Television Group will have 31 shows on broadcast networks, including at least two primetime series on each network, and 60 shows across broadcast and cable. In June, Warner Bros. Television Group acquired Eyeworks Group’s operations outside of the U.S., increasing its international production capabilities.

CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME AND PER SHARE RESULTS

Company Results

Adjusted EPS was $0.98 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.76 in last year’s second quarter. The increase in Adjusted EPS primarily reflects higher Adjusted Operating Income and fewer shares outstanding.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner common shareholders of $843 million, or $0.94 per diluted common share. This compares to Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner common shareholders in the second quarter of 2013 of $698 million, or $0.73 per diluted common share.

For the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, the Company had Net Income of $850 million and $771 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 (other than deferred gains on sale-leasebacks); gains and losses recognized in connection with pension and other postretirement benefit plan curtailments or settlements; 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 Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders is Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders excluding

noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets and investments; gains and losses on operating assets (other than deferred gains on sale-leasebacks), liabilities and investments; gains and losses recognized in connection with pension and other postretirement benefit plan curtailments or settlements; 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 and the Company’s share of the above items with respect to equity method investments. Similarly, Adjusted EPS is Diluted Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders excluding the above items.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations 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 Income from Continuing Operations 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 defined as 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, contingent consideration payments made in connection with acquisitions, and excess tax benefits from equity instruments, 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 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 Income from Continuing Operations 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), Income from Continuing Operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders, Diluted Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations 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.

TIME WARNER INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner” or the “Company”) is a leading media and entertainment company, whose businesses include television networks and film and TV entertainment. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Turner: consisting principally of cable networks and digital media properties; Home Box Office: consisting principally of premium pay television services domestically and premium pay and basic tier television services internationally; and Warner Bros.: consisting principally of feature film, television, home video and videogame production and distribution.

On June 6, 2014, the Company completed the legal and structural separation of the Company’s Time Inc. segment from the Company (the “Time Separation”). With the completion of the Time Separation, the Company disposed of the Time Inc. segment in its entirety and ceased to consolidate its assets, liabilities and results of operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has recast its financial information to present the financial condition and results of operations of its former Time Inc. segment as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

In connection with the Time Separation, the Company received $1.4 billion from Time Inc., consisting of proceeds relating to Time Inc.’s acquisition of the IPC publishing business in the U.K. from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Time Warner and a special dividend.
