TIME WARNER INC. REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2010
ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME OF $1.2 BILLION,
UP 15% FROM YEAR-AGO QUARTER
Second-Quarter Highlights
  Revenues rise 8% to $6.4 billion, highest growth rate since second quarter of 2008
 
  Advertising Revenues grow 11%, driven by increases of 14% at Turner and 4% at Time Inc.
 
  Operating Income increases 14% at Networks and 50% at Time Inc.
 
  Adjusted Earnings Per Share improve 35% to $0.50
 
  Adjusted Operating Income margins surpass prior year quarter for sixth consecutive time
 
  Company repurchases 38 million shares for $1.2 billion year to date through July 30, 2010
NEW YORK, August 4, 2010 – Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bewkes said: “Time Warner delivered another quarter of strong financial and operating performance. Our revenue increased at its highest rate in two years, driving 15% growth in Adjusted Operating Income.”
Mr. Bewkes continued: “Our investments in high-quality content across the company continue to pay off. Turner’s original programming strategy contributed to the quarter’s strong advertising growth and helped to generate pricing gains at the high end of the recent 2010-2011 upfront. HBO achieved impressive audience growth for its returning shows, and it has more original series in development than at any time in its history. Last week, Warner Bros. became the only studio in history whose films surpassed $1 billion at the domestic box office for ten straight years, while its TV production business extended its streak as the #1 provider of broadcast network programming. In addition, Time Inc. widened its lead in overall domestic print advertising share through the first six months of 2010. At the same time, we strengthened our balance sheet and returned to stockholders more than $1.5 billion in dividends and share repurchases for the year through June.”

 


 

Company Results
In the quarter, Revenues grew 8% from the same period in 2009 to $6.4 billion, reflecting increases at the Networks and Filmed Entertainment segments. Adjusted Operating Income rose 15% to $1.2 billion, due to growth at the Networks and Publishing segments. Adjusted Operating Income margins reached 19% versus 18% in last year’s second quarter. Operating Income increased 19% to $1.2 billion, while Operating Income margins were 19% compared to 17% in the prior year quarter.
The Company posted Adjusted Diluted Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations (“Adjusted EPS”) of $0.50 versus $0.37 in the prior year quarter. Diluted Income per Common Share from Continuing Operations was $0.49 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $0.36 in last year’s second quarter.
For the first six months of 2010, Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations reached $1.4 billion, and Free Cash Flow totaled $1.2 billion. As of June 30, 2010, Net Debt increased to $12.3 billion from $11.5 billion at the end of 2009, due mainly to share repurchases and dividends, as well as investment and acquisition spending, offset by the generation of Free Cash Flow.

Presented below is a discussion of Time Warner’s segments for the second quarter of 2010. Unless otherwise noted, the dollar amounts in parentheses represent year-over-year changes.
NETWORKS (Turner Broadcasting and HBO)
Revenues
rose 11% ($315 million) to $3.2 billion, with growth of 9% ($153 million) in Subscription revenues, 14% ($126 million) in Advertising revenues and 10% ($20 million) in Content revenues. The increase in Subscription revenues resulted primarily from higher domestic subscription rates and the consolidation of HBO Central Europe. Advertising revenue growth reflected strong scatter demand and continued yield management at Turner’s domestic networks, as well as international expansion and growth. Content revenues benefitted from higher sales of HBO’s original programming, including The Pacific and True Blood.
Operating Income improved 14% ($123 million) to $981 million, reflecting revenue growth, partly offset by higher expenses, including increased programming costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. Programming costs rose 8%, due mainly to higher original and licensed programming expenses.
During its current “100 Days of Drama” campaign, TNT is rolling out its summer season of new original drama series to strong ratings. Premiering in July 2010 with 7.6 million viewers, Rizzoli & Isles, starring Angie Harmon, delivered the highest-rated launch ever for an advertising-supported cable show. Memphis Beat, featuring Jason Lee, ranked as advertising-supported cable’s highest-rated new series during the second quarter with 5.3 million viewers.
HBO received 101 Emmy nominations in July, the most of any network for the tenth year in a row, with The Pacific leading all contenders with 24 nominations, while Temple Grandin and You Don’t Know Jack each received 15 nominations. In addition, HBO’s premiere of True Blood’s third season drew 38% higher ratings compared to the series’ second season debut.
FILMED ENTERTAINMENT (Warner Bros.)
Revenues increased 8% ($183 million) to $2.5 billion, led by stronger theatrical performances, including Clash of the Titans and Sex and the City 2. Also contributing to this growth were higher television license fees, benefitting from a greater number of new series, timing of deliveries and the TNT availability of The Closer, as well as improved video games revenues, driven by the release of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
Adjusted Operating Income declined 2% ($3 million) to $173 million, as higher revenues and lower restructuring costs ($28 million) were more than offset by higher theatrical and television film costs, as well as print and advertising costs. The prior year quarter benefitted from the effect of improved home video catalog returns of approximately $30 million. Operating Income grew 21% ($30 million) to $173 million. Last year’s second quarter included a $33 million loss on the sale of Warner Bros.’ Italian cinema assets.
During the recent upfronts, Warner Bros. Television Group again led all studios with orders for 15 returning series and 11 new series on the U.S. broadcast networks’ primetime schedules for the 2010-2011 television season - making it the largest provider of network TV programming for the 19th time in the past 24 years. Since its release on June 29, 2010, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has shipped over 2.7 million units of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 worldwide - building on the success of selling more than 7 million units of LEGO Batman since its release in 2008. After ranking #1 at the domestic box office for three straight weekends, Inception has grossed more than $360 million worldwide from its July 16 opening through August 1, 2010.

PUBLISHING (Time Inc.)
Revenues were essentially flat at $919 million, due to a 4% increase ($21 million) in Advertising revenues, offset by a 23% ($23 million) decrease in Other revenues, with Subscription revenues flat. The growth in Advertising revenues reflected higher domestic print magazine and digital revenues. Other revenues declined due mainly to the impact of the sale of Southern Living At Home in the third quarter of 2009, as well as lower revenues at Synapse.
Operating Income improved 50% ($51 million) to $153 million, resulting from cost saving initiatives, including lower pension expenses, as well as higher domestic magazine print and digital revenues, partly offset by declines at Synapse and QSP.
During the first half of 2010, Time Inc. increased its leading share of overall domestic magazine advertising to 21%, a gain of 1.8 percentage points from the same period last year (Publishers Information Bureau data).
CONSOLIDATED REPORTED NET INCOME AND PER SHARE RESULTS
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported Net Income of $562 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share. This compares to Net Income in the second quarter of 2009 of $524 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share.
Adjusted EPS was $0.50 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $0.37 in last year’s second quarter. The increase in Adjusted EPS reflected primarily higher Adjusted Operating Income.
For the second quarter of 2010, the Company reported Income from Continuing Operations of $562 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share. This compares to Income from Continuing Operations in 2009’s second quarter of $430 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share.
Discontinued operations generated Net Income of $94 million for the second quarter of 2009, reflecting the operating results of AOL Inc.
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, as well as gains and losses on operating assets 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. A limitation of these measures, however, is that they do not reflect gains and losses on asset sales or amounts related to securities litigation and government investigations or any impairment charge related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets.
Adjusted EPS is Diluted Income per Common Share 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, 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. Adjusted EPS is considered an important indicator of the operational strength of the Company’s businesses as this measure eliminates 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

5


 

adjusted EPS measure as a common basis for comparing the performance of different companies. Some limitations of Adjusted EPS, however, are that it does not reflect certain cash charges that affect the operating results of the Company’s businesses and that it involves judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance. Also, a general limitation of Adjusted EPS is that it is 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.
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 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.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company’s Operating Income (Loss), Diluted Income (Loss) 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.
