OREANDA-NEWS. Time Inc. (NYSE:TIME) reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Time Inc. Chairman and CEO Joe Ripp said, "Our first quarter results reflect progress toward achieving revenue growth in 2016. We are seeing double digit growth of Digital advertising and Other revenues driven by acquisitions and growth investments. We are making progress to transform Time Inc. into a multi-platform, multimedia enterprise and we are infusing digital culture into our day-to-day operations. Our acquisition of Viant is enhancing the breadth and depth of our first party data. It will enable us to deliver advertisers’ messages to specific audience segments across all their connected devices, and to measure the true sales impact. Also, today at our Newfront presentation, we will be announcing a slate of new video programming and services. With households abandoning the cable bundle, and social platforms providing new distribution opportunities, Time Inc. is positioning itself to be a major player in digital video."

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Revenues increased $10 million or 1% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $690 million primarily reflecting the benefit of acquisitions. In addition, declines in Print and other advertising revenues and in Circulation revenues were partially offset by growth in Digital advertising revenues. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $4 million adverse impact on Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Advertising Revenues increased $7 million or 2% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $360 million primarily reflecting the benefit of acquisitions, principally the Viant acquisition. In addition, the decrease in Print and other advertising revenues was partially offset by growth in Digital advertising revenue from video and programmatic sales.

Print and Other Advertising Revenues decreased $10 million or 4% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $270 million. The decrease was driven principally by a decline in advertising pages sold, due to the continuing trend of advertisers shifting advertising spending from print to other media, and by lower average price per page of advertising sold, primarily due to the mix of advertisers. These were partially offset by the benefit of certain advertising revenues being recognized on a gross basis in 2016 that had been recognized on a net basis in 2015. Our domestic titles experienced advertising declines principally in the beauty, fashion/retail and media & movies categories, partially offset by strong sales in the food, travel and automotive categories.

Digital Advertising Revenues increased $17 million or 23% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $90 million, primarily reflecting the benefit of the Viant acquisition, as well as growth in video and programmatic sales. Time Inc. served 120 million multiplatform unique visitors during March 2016 in the U.S., an increase of 12% since March 2015.

Circulation Revenues, which are comprised of subscription, newsstand and other circulation revenues, decreased $12 million or 5% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $238 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $3 million adverse impact on Circulation revenues.

Subscription Revenues decreased $4 million or 2% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $161 million as a result of the continued shift in consumer preference from print to digital media.

Newsstand Revenues decreased $9 million or 12% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $68 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $2 million adverse impact on Newsstand revenues.

Other Revenues, which include marketing and support services provided to third parties, branded book publishing, events, and licensing, increased by $15 million or 19% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $92 million principally driven by the benefit of acquisitions.

Costs of Revenues, which consist of Production costs, Editorial costs and Other costs, increased $25 million or 9% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $296 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $2 million favorable impact on Costs of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Production costs decreased $1 million or 1% from the year-earlier quarter to $159 million.

Editorial costs increased $3 million or 3% from the year-earlier quarter to $92 million, primarily driven by digital investments.

Other costs of revenues increased $23 million or 105% from the year-earlier quarter to $45 million principally driven by costs of operations of acquired businesses, as well as certain costs that were directly netted against Print and other advertising revenues in 2015 which are now included in Other costs of revenue in 2016.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") increased $6 million or 2% from the year-earlier quarter to $365 million. Included in SG&A for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $14 million and $1 million, respectively, of costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments and dispositions ("transaction costs") which have been excluded from our Adjusted OIBDA calculation. These transactions costs included payments made to certain vendors of Viant in order to continue receiving services from such vendors. The other components of SG&A decreased by $5 million, primarily driven by the benefits realized from previously announced cost savings initiatives, including in real estate, partially offset by increase in expenses related to growth initiatives and the costs of operations of acquired businesses. Additionally, the stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound also benefited SG&A by $2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Depreciation decreased $11 million or 46% from the year-earlier quarter to $13 million, largely due to accelerated depreciation in 2015 of assets at our former headquarters at 1271 Avenue of the Americas in anticipation of relocating at the end of 2015, as well as less depreciation expense in 2016 due to the sale-leaseback of the Blue Fin Building in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Operating Income (Loss) was a loss of $3 million and income of $5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 versus the first quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by expenses associated with operations of acquired businesses, growth initiatives and transaction costs partially offset by higher revenues and the benefit of lower depreciation.

Adjusted OIBDA of $43 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 represented a decrease of $8 million from the year-earlier quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower Operating income.

Net Income (Loss) was a loss of $10 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 versus a loss of $9 million for the year-earlier quarter. Adjusted net loss was $11 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to Adjusted net loss of $7 million for the year-earlier quarter. Diluted EPS was a loss of $0.10 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 versus a loss of $0.08 in the year-earlier quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS was a loss of $0.11 versus a loss of $0.06 in the year-earlier quarter.

Free Cash Flow was an outflow of $87 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 versus an outflow of $24 million for the year-earlier quarter, primarily reflecting the buyouts of leases for our former headquarters for $95 million, higher capital expenditures of $31 million principally associated with concluding our real estate relocations, partially offset by a tax refund, lower cash rent paid, and lower bonus payments.

On May 5, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.19 per common share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 31, 2016, payable on June 15, 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased $35 million of aggregate principal amount of our 5.75% Senior Notes at a discount and recognized a pretax gain of $4 million on the extinguishment of such notes. We also repurchased 4.05 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $14.40 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Such repurchases were made in accordance with our Board of Directors' authorizations in November 2015.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Time Inc. utilizes Adjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted OIBDA"), among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its business. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as Operating income (loss) excluding Depreciation and Amortization of intangible assets ("OIBDA") and adjusted for impairments of Goodwill, intangibles, fixed assets and investments; Restructuring and severance costs; gains and losses on operating assets; pension plan settlements and/or curtailments; and Other costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments and dispositions.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is Net income (loss) adjusted for impairments of Goodwill, intangibles, fixed assets and investments; Restructuring and severance costs; gains and losses on operating and/or non-operating assets; pension plan settlements and/or curtailments; Bargain purchase gain; gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; Other costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments and dispositions; as well as the impact of income taxes on the above items. Similarly, Adjusted Diluted EPS is Diluted net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations excluding the above items.

Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operations less Capital expenditures. The company uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate its business and this measure is considered an important indicator of the company's liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt, make strategic investments, and pay dividends to common stockholders.

We believe that the presentation of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow helps investors analyze underlying trends in our business, evaluate the performance of our business both on an absolute basis and relative to our peers and the broader market, provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business and helps investors evaluate our ability to service our debt.

Some limitations of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are that they do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of the company’s business and they involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance.

A general limitation of these measures is that they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and excluded items. OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the company’s Operating income (loss), Net income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations and various cash flow measures (e.g., cash provided by (used in) operations), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, this earnings release includes comparisons that exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes. These comparisons, which are non-GAAP measures, are calculated by assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior year average foreign exchange rates. We believe this provides useful supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our own performance.
