The New York Times Company Reports 2020 Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results

The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) announced today fourth-quarter 2020 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $.06 compared with $.41 in the same period of 2019. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (defined below) was $.40 in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with $.43 in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Meredith Kopit Levien, president and chief executive officer, The New York Times Company, said, “2020 was a seismic year for news. The need for quality, independent journalism was as acute as ever in my lifetime, and my colleagues across The Times rose to meet that need with the energy and rigor our mission demands.

“Our work, which was consumed at historic levels, led to a year of strong business results, including a record 2.3 million net new digital-only subscription additions, with 627,000 total net additions in the fourth quarter, 425,000 to our news product. At the end of 2020, The Times had 7.5 million total subscriptions across our digital and print products.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 0.2 percent to $509.4 million from $508.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Subscription revenues increased 14.7 percent to $315.8 million, advertising revenues decreased 18.7 percent to $139.3 million and other revenues decreased 12.1 percent to $54.3 million.

USPS is slowing down first-class mail on Oct. 1. What delays and price hikes mean for you (cnet.com)

If you're like me, sending a letter or package across the country through the US Postal Service feels like a game of chance. Will it get there in a week -- or two? During the first quarter of this year, around 20% of first-class mail across the US was delivered late. And now snail mail is about to get slower for some of the 160 million residences and businesses that rely on the Postal Service. Starting Oct. 1, the USPS will implement new service standards for its first-class mail and packages, lengthening delivery time for about 30% of its volume. That means some letters, parcels and magazine subscriptions traveling longer distances could take up to five days to arrive, instead of two or three days. The changes are part of a 10-year plan called Delivering for America to overhaul the agency and try to tackle its $160 billion debt. The plan would also reduce post office hours and raise prices for customers, and there'll be even more postage hikes during the peak holiday season. more at source
