Time Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

Time Inc. (NYSE:TIME) reported today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Time Inc. President and CEO Rich Battista said, “We delivered strong operating and financial metrics in the third quarter despite the challenging print environment. Our Adjusted OIBDA of $115 million grew 15% and we continued to execute on our disciplined cost plan and grow our non-Magazines revenue. We expect revenue derived from Digital and Brand Extensions & Other sources to reach approximately $1 billion in 2017. In addition, our Free cash flow grew 18% to $73 million, our best quarterly result for this metric since 2014. During the third quarter, we successfully launched our Strategic Transformation Program to drive revenue optimization opportunities, new investments in key growth areas and more than $400 million of targeted run-rate cost savings. In October, we also closed on a series of refinancing transactions that extended our debt maturities and balanced our capital structure providing us with improved financial flexibility. Furthermore, we are reaffirming our 2017 Adjusted OIBDA Outlook of at least $400 million with a plan to be flat year-over-year.”

Battista continued: “Our new management team remains focused on executing effectively against our growth strategy to sustain the strength of our print products, increase our growing digital revenues and extend our brands through high-margin, high-value offerings. With monthly U.S. unique visitors reaching a record 139 million across Time Inc., we are committed to leveraging our massive scale and powerful brand portfolio to serve our consumers anytime, anywhere.”

Revenues decreased $71 million, or 9%, in the third quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $679 million, reflecting declines in Print and other advertising and Circulation revenues, partially offset by growth in Digital advertising and Other revenues. The U.S. dollar relative to the British pound did not have a significant impact on Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Operating Income (Loss) was income of $51 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and loss of $167 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. We recognized Asset impairments of $188 million, related primarily to a domestic tradename intangible, during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Continued execution drove growth across most of the Company's six divisions, while Ratings transaction revenue continues to be negatively impacted by a sharp year-over-year reduction in debt issuance. GAAP net income decreased 24% to $608 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 44% to $1.84 primarily due to the increase in shares outstanding as a result of the merger with IHS Markit.
