“We have made great progress during the quarter toward closing our acquisition of Gannett, which is expected to be a transformational deal for our Company as well as the industry. Over the past few months we have been highly focused on integration planning, which has solidified our expectation that we can achieve synergies at the top end of our stated range of $275-300 million in annualized run-rate savings. We have also become more confident that we can implement the synergies over the next 18-24 months. New Media and Gannett will both hold their special stockholder meetings on November 14, 2019. Subject to New Media and Gannett stockholder approval, we expect to close shortly after the special stockholder meetings since all required regulatory approvals have been obtained,” said Michael Reed, New Media President and Chief Executive Officer.
“During the third quarter, organic same store revenue trends were lower than expected, but we saw positive trends in subscriber growth and with revenue in our events business. Our circulation strategy showed continued progress with a rise in total subscribers, driven by growth in digital subscriptions, which grew to 217,000, up 64.9% to prior year. In addition, events had another strong quarter with revenue up 49.6% to prior year. Organic same store revenue was down 7.9% to prior year, reflecting some disruption among our employee base on account of the anticipation of the Gannett transaction, which was announced on August 5, 2019. However, performance improved toward the end of the quarter.”
“As Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow were strong in the quarter, both growing over the prior year despite the negative impact from Hurricane Dorian, which effected a number of our newspapers. We are very optimistic about the fourth quarter and 2020, especially as we expect to complete the acquisition of Gannett.”
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
New Media recorded total revenues of $376.6 million for the quarter, down 1.0% compared to the prior year, and down 7.9% on an organic same store basis. This was a decrease from our Q1 organic same store trend of 7.4% and our Q2 organic same store trend of 6.9%. The discussion of the Gannett transaction caused some disruption for our employees during the quarter; however September performance stabilized as the noise about the transaction settled down.
Traditional Print advertising revenue for the quarter decreased 15.9% on an organic same store basis compared to the prior year. This was a sixty basis points sequential decline as compared with the second quarter.
Digital revenue increased 7.3% on a reported basis from the prior year to $50.0 million, representing 13.3% of total revenue in the third quarter. UpCurve generated $26.7 million in revenue, an increase of 4.6% as compared with the prior year on a reported basis.
Circulation revenue decreased 5.8% on an organic same store basis. Our focus on growing subscriber volumes continues to perform well with digital-only subscribers growing to 217,000, an increase of 64.9% compared to the prior year.
Commercial Print, Distribution and Events revenue increased 5.3% compared to the prior year on an organic same store basis, driven by the 49.6% growth of GateHouse Live and Promotions.
Operating loss was $1.9 million for the quarter, including $12.1 million of deal costs, and Net loss attributable to New Media was $18.5 million for the quarter. The Net loss attributable to New Media included the deal costs and $7.2 million of tax expense.
As Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow were $45.1 million and $32.2 million, respectively, for the quarter. Both were burdened by $1.5 million in losses resulting from Hurricane Dorian.
Gannett Transaction Update
As previously announced, all required regulatory approvals of the proposed acquisition of Gannett (the “Merger”) have been obtained. The applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, relating to the consummation of the Merger, expired on September 25, 2019. The European Commission announced regulatory clearance under the EU Merger Regulation for the Merger on October 23, 2019.
As recently announced, upon conclusion of the Merger, the Board of Directors will be comprised of nine members, including Michael Reed as Chairman, five independent directors from New Media, and three directors from Gannett. The five independent directors from New Media are expected to be Kevin Sheehan as Lead Director, Mayur Gupta, Theodore Janulis, Maria Miller, and Laurence Tarica. The three directors from Gannett are expected to be John Jeffry Louis, Debra Sandler and Barbara Wall.
The completion of the Merger remains subject to other customary closing conditions, including receipt of approval from New Media stockholders and Gannett stockholders. The Merger is expected to close shortly following the New Media and Gannett special stockholder meetings, which are currently scheduled for November 14, 2019.

Same Store and Organic Same Store Revenues
Same store results take into account material acquisitions and divestitures of the Company by adjusting prior year performance to include or exclude financial results as if the Company had owned or divested a business for the comparable period. The results of several acquisitions (“tuck-in acquisitions”) were funded from the Company’s available cash and are not considered material. Organic same store revenues are same store revenues adjusted to remove non-material acquisitions and non-material divestitures, and to adjust for Commercial Print revenues that are now intercompany.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company strongly urges stockholders and other interested persons not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP measures, as presented in this press release, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit), interest/financing expense, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash impairments. The Company defines As Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA before transaction and project costs, merger and acquisition related costs, integration and reorganization costs, gain/loss on sale or disposal of assets, non-cash items such as non-cash compensation, and Adjusted EBITDA from non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as As Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, cash taxes, interest paid, and pension payments.
Management’s Use of Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow
Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to income from operations, net income (loss), cash flow from continuing operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. New Media’s management believes these non-GAAP measures, as defined above, are useful to investors for the following reasons:
- Evaluating performance and identifying trends in day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance on the Company’s day-to-day operations; and
- Providing assessments of controllable expenses that afford management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieving optimal financial performance.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, As Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow as measures of our deployed revenue generating assets between periods on a consistent basis. We believe As Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow measure our financial performance and help identify operational factors that management can impact in the short term, mainly our operating cost structure and expenses. We exclude mergers and acquisition, transaction, and project related costs such as diligence activities and new financing related costs because they represent costs unrelated to the day-to-day operating performance of the business that management can impact in the short term. We consider the loss on early extinguishment of debt to be financing related costs associated with interest expense or amortization of financing fees, which by definition are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Such charges are incidental to, but not reflective of our day-to-day operating performance of the business that management can impact in the short term.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication is neither an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in any jurisdiction pursuant to or in connection with the proposed transaction or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including, among others:
- continued declines in advertising and circulation revenues, economic conditions in the markets in which New Media operates, including natural disasters, tariffs and other factors affecting economic conditions generally, competition from other media companies;
- the possibility of insufficient interest in New Media's digital and other businesses, technological developments in the media sector;

- the parties’ ability to consummate the proposed transaction and to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion of the proposed transaction;
- the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction, including the receipt of the required approval of New Media’s stockholders and Gannett’s stockholders with respect to the proposed transaction, in each case, on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule;

- the risk that the committed financing necessary for the consummation of the proposed transaction is unavailable at the closing, and that any replacement financing may not be available on similar terms, or at all;
- the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or that integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;
- the risk that operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) may be greater than expected following the proposed transaction;
- general economic and market conditions;
- the retention of certain key employees; and
- the combined company’s ability to grow its digital marketing and business services initiatives, and grow its digital audience and advertiser base.

Except to the extent required by law, New Media expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
