THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 decreased $48 million or 6% versus the year-earlier quarter to $773 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had an $8 million adverse impact on Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 included $6 million of revenues from our disposed Mexico-based operations, Grupo Editorial Expansi?n ("GEX") and were adversely impacted by $3 million from the wholesaler transition first announced in May 2014. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, the GEX disposition and the wholesaler transition, Revenues would have decreased 5%.

Advertising Revenues decreased $30 million or 7% in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter to $398 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $2 million adverse impact on Advertising revenues. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 included $5 million of Advertising revenues from GEX. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the GEX disposition, Advertising revenues would have decreased 5%.

Print and Other Advertising Revenues decreased $44 million or 12% in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter to $319 million. The quarter ended September 30, 2014 included $3 million of Print and other advertising revenues from GEX. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the GEX disposition, Print and other advertising revenues would have decreased 11%. The decrease was driven principally by a decline in advertising pages sold primarily 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 category mix of advertisers. Our domestic titles experienced advertising declines in the beauty, fashion/retail and financial categories, partially offset by strong sales in the technology/telecommunications and food categories.

Digital Advertising Revenues increased $14 million or 22% in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter to $79 million. The quarter ended September 30, 2014 included $2 million of Digital advertising revenues from GEX. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the GEX disposition, Digital advertising revenues would have increased 27%, reflecting strong growth in video and programmatic sales. Time Inc. served 116 million multiplatform unique visitors during September 2015 in the U.S., up 24% since September 2014.

Circulation Revenues, which comprise subscription, newsstand and other circulation revenues, decreased $18 million or 6% in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter to $261 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound adversely impacted Circulation revenues by $6 million. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 were adversely impacted by $2 million from the wholesaler transition. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the wholesaler transition, Circulation revenues would have decreased 5% as a result of the continued shift in consumer preferences from print to digital media.

Subscription Revenues decreased $6 million or 3% in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter to $168 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound adversely impacted Subscription revenues by $2 million. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Subscription revenues would have decreased 2%.

Newsstand Revenues decreased $12 million or 12% in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter to $86 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $4 million adverse impact on Newsstand revenues. Newsstand revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were adversely impacted by $2 million from the wholesaler transition. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the wholesaler transition, Newsstand revenues would have decreased 10%.

Other Revenues, which include marketing and support services provided to third parties, events, licensing and branded book publishing, remained flat in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter at $114 million. Declines at our book publishing business were offset by the benefit of acquisitions.

Costs of Revenues, which consist of Production costs, Editorial costs and Other costs (including production overhead costs), decreased $12 million or 4% in the third quarter of 2015 from the year-earlier quarter to $310 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $4 million favorable impact on Costs of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Results for the third quarter of 2014 included $2 million of costs from GEX. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the GEX disposition, Costs of revenues would have decreased 2%.

Production costs decreased $12 million or 7% from the year-earlier quarter to $168 million. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the GEX disposition, Production costs would have decreased 6%, primarily driven by lower volume of pages produced.

Editorial costs decreased $13 million or 12% from the year-earlier quarter to $100 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $3 million favorable impact on Editorial costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Results for the third quarter of 2014 included $2 million of Editorial costs from GEX. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the GEX disposition, Editorial costs would have decreased 7%, primarily driven by savings from previously announced cost savings initiatives, partially offset by digital investments.

Other costs of revenues increased $13 million or 45% from the year-earlier quarter to $42 million. Excluding the impact of the GEX disposition, Other costs would have increased 40%, driven primarily by costs associated with growth initiatives and the operations of acquired businesses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") increased $2 million or 1% from the year-earlier quarter to $359 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound benefited SG&A by $3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Results for the third quarter of 2014 included $4 million of SG&A from GEX. Excluding the impacts of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes and the GEX disposition, SG&A would have increased 3% driven by expenses associated with growth initiatives and the operations of acquired businesses, $11 million of incremental real estate related expenses associated with the upcoming relocation of our corporate headquarters and the leaseback of properties in Birmingham, AL and Menlo Park, CA, a portion of which is associated with temporary space, and $6 million in noncash realized pretax losses in connection with the settlement of our domestic excess pension plan, partially offset by benefits realized from previously announced cost savings initiatives. In addition to the $6 million for the settlement of our domestic excess pension plan, also included in SG&A for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $3 million and $2 million, respectively, of other costs related to acquisitions and dispositions which have been excluded from our Adjusted OIBDA calculation.

Adjusted OIBDA of $113 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 represented a decrease of $31 million from the comparable quarter of 2014 primarily due to lower Revenues, partially offset by lower Costs of revenues. The wholesaler transition adversely impacted Adjusted OIBDA during the three months ended September 30, 2014 by $3 million.

Restructuring and Severance Costs was a charge of $8 million and a benefit of $6 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Restructuring and severance costs in 2015 related to headcount reductions and real estate consolidations.

Goodwill Impairment was a noncash pretax charge estimated at $952 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. This noncash charge was a result of the recent decline in our publicly traded share price during the third quarter of 2015 and recent trends in advertising and circulation revenues. In addition, the fair value of the Blue Fin Building was significantly above its carrying value which contributed to the noncash goodwill impairment charge. This is our preliminary estimate of the noncash charge and adjustments to the estimate may be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 as we finalize the impairment review.

Operating Income (Loss) was a loss of $899 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 versus income of $106 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was the result of the Goodwill impairment charge.

Net Income (Loss) was a loss of $913 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 versus income of $48 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Adjusted net income declined to $40 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to Adjusted net income of $45 million a year earlier. Diluted EPS was a loss of $8.30 versus income of $0.44 per common share in the prior year comparable quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.32 versus $0.41 in the prior year comparable quarter.

Free Cash Flow was $15 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 versus $83 million for the third quarter of 2014 and an outflow of $5 million versus an inflow of $140 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, primarily reflecting higher capital expenditures associated with our upcoming real estate relocations.

On September 15, 2015 we paid a dividend of $21 million or $0.19 per common share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 31, 2015.

On November 5, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.19 per common share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2015, payable December 15, 2015.

On October 30, 2015, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Blue Fin Building, our principal executive offices in the U.K., for 415 million British pounds ("GBP"). The sale is expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Effective upon consummation of the sale of the Blue Fin Building, our Board of Directors has authorized common stock repurchases of up to $300 million and principal debt repayments and/or repurchases of up to $200 million. The authorization expires on December 31, 2017, subject to the extension or earlier termination by our Board. Under the stock repurchase authorization, Time Inc. may repurchase shares in open-market and/or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and repurchases may be executed pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Act of 1933. The extent to which Time Inc. repurchases its shares or repays its debt, and the timing of such transactions, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market and industry conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company from time to time. The authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. The Company expects to finance the purchases and repayments out of working capital and/or cash balances made available as a result of the sale of the Blue Fin Building.

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 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; 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, 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, 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, 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.
