NOVEMBER 2016
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our financial outlook and guidance, including our 2016 forecasted revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and
other consolidated and segment financial performance guidance, our real estate monetization strategy, our cost savings initiatives, exploration of strategic and financial alternatives and other corporate initiatives, the conditions in our industry,
our operations, our economic performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business and growth strategy and product development efforts. Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and
business decisions to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are uncertainties discussed below and in the Risk Factors section of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) on February 29, 2016. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can be identified by the use of words such as may,
might, will, could should, estimate, project, plan, anticipate, expect, intend, outlook, seek,
designed, assume, implied, believe and other similar expressions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. These
forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.
The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from projected or historical results or those anticipated or
predicted by these forward-looking statements: changes in advertising demand and audience shares; competition and other economic conditions including incremental fragmentation of the media landscape and competition from other media alternatives;
changes in the overall market for broadcast and cable television advertising, including through regulatory and judicial rulings; our ability to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights; availability and cost of quality network,
syndicated and sports programming affecting our television ratings; the loss, cost and / or modification of our network affiliation agreements; our ability to renegotiate retransmission consent agreements with multichannel video programming
distributors; our ability to expand our Digital and Data business operations internationally; our ability to realize the full value, or successfully complete the planned divestitures of our real estate assets; the incurrence of additional
tax-related liabilities related to historical income tax returns; our ability to expand our operations internationally; the timing and administration by the FCC of a potential auction of spectrum and our ability to monetize our spectrum through
sales channel sharing arrangements or relocations; the incurrence of costs to address contamination issues at sites owned, operated or used by our businesses; adverse results from litigation, governmental investigations or tax-related proceedings or
audits; our ability to settle unresolved claims filed in connection with our and certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Chapter 11 cases and resolve the appeals seeking to overturn the bankruptcy court order confirming
the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization for Tribune Company and its Subsidiaries; our ability to satisfy pension and other postretirement employee benefit obligations; our ability to attract and retain employees; the effect of labor strikes,
lock-outs and labor negotiations; our ability to realize benefits or synergies from acquisitions or divestitures or to operate our businesses effectively following acquisitions or divestitures; our ability to successfully execute our business
strategy, including our exploration of strategic and financial alternatives to enhance shareholder value; the financial performance of our equity method investments; the impairment of our existing goodwill and other intangible assets; compliance
with government regulations applicable to the television and radio broadcasting industry; changes in accounting standards; the payment of cash dividends on our common stock; impact of increases in interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness or
refinancings thereof; impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes; our indebtedness and ability to comply with covenants applicable to our debt financing and other contractual commitments; our ability to satisfy future capital and liquidity
requirements; our ability to access the credit and capital markets at the times and in the amounts needed and on acceptable terms and other events beyond our control that may result in unexpected adverse operating results. In addition, in light of
these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this press release may not in fact occur. Any forward-looking information presented herein is made only as of the date of this press release and we
undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation
includes a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EPS for the Company and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for our operating segments (Television and Entertainment, Digital and Data, and Corporate and Other) and
presents Broadcast Cash Flow for our Television and Entertainment segment. Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Broadcast Cash Flow are financial measures that are not recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in
the U.S. (GAAP). With respect to our expectations under Financial Guidance above, no reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated or segment basis for fiscal 2016 is included in this release
because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts and we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to
investors. In particular, reconciliation of guidance for Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the
high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures such as the measures and effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted
by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price and other non-recurring or unusual items such as impairment charges, transaction-related costs and gains or losses on sales of assets. We expect the variability of the above items to have a
significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results. Adjusted EPS is calculated based on net income (loss) before investment transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt, certain special items (including
severance), certain income tax charges, non-operating items, gain (loss) on sales of real estate, impairments and other non-cash charges and reorganization items per common share. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is defined as net income (loss)
before income taxes, investment transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt, interest and dividend income, interest expense, pension expense (credit), equity income and losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, certain
special items (including severance), non-operating items, gain (loss) on sales of real estate, goodwill and other intangible asset and program impairments and other non-cash charges and reorganization items. Adjusted EBITDA for the Companys
operating segments is calculated as segment operating profit plus depreciation, amortization, pension expense (credit), stock-based compensation, goodwill and other intangible asset and program impairments and other non-cash charges, gain (loss) on
sales of real estate and certain special items (including severance). Broadcast Cash Flow for the Television and Entertainment segment is calculated as Television and Entertainment Adjusted EBITDA plus broadcast rights amortization expense less
broadcast rights cash payments. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the Company and its operating segments is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue, on a consolidated or segment basis, as the case may be. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA Margin and Broadcast Cash Flow are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance with that of our competitors. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it useful in
measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations. We further believe that the disclosure of Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Broadcast Cash Flow is useful to investors as these non-GAAP measures are used, among
other measures, by our management to evaluate our performance. By disclosing Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Broadcast Cash Flow, we believe that we create for investors a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the
means by which our management operates our company. Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Broadcast Cash Flow are not measures presented in accordance with GAAP, and our use of these terms may vary from that of others in our
industry. Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Broadcast Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, revenues, cash provided by operating activities or any other measures derived in
accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. The tables at the end of this press release include reconciliations of consolidated Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA and Broadcast Cash Flow to the
most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1) | Ranges may not foot due to rounding. |
(2) The actual results for the full year may differ materially from the above guidance due to, among other factors, the strategic and financial alternatives discussed in
our fourth quarter and full year 2015 earnings release, as updated by our third quarter 2016 earnings release. See Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements on Slide 2.
(3) No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated or segment basis for fiscal 2016 is included above because we are unable to quantify certain
amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts and we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. See Non-GAAP Financial
Measures on Slide 3.
(4) | Excludes payments for the Newsday resolution and transactions such as real estate sales. |
