LIN TV Corp. Announces First Quarter 2011 Results
Lin TV (NYSE:TVL)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Wednesday 27 April 2011
Click Here for more Lin TV Charts.
LIN TV Corp. (“LIN Media”; NYSE: TVL), a local multimedia company, today reported its first quarter 2011 results.
Summary of Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2011
* Net revenues increased by 1% to $92.6 million, compared to $91.8 million for the first quarter of 2010.
* Digital revenues, which include Internet advertising revenues and retransmission consent fees, increased by 31% to $17.2 million, compared to $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2010.
* General operating expenses increased by 6% to $70.0 million, compared to $66.1 million for the first quarter of 2010, driven by an increase in cost of sales tied to digital revenue growth and the impact of a prior year non-recurring benefit. All other general operating costs increased by 1%.
* Operating income was $15.6 million, compared to operating income of $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2010.
* Net income per diluted share was $0.03, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.06 for the first quarter of 2010.
Commenting on first quarter 2011 results, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer Vincent L. Sadusky said: "We delivered another strong performance in the first quarter, in spite of significant uncertainty that continues to weigh on the economy. Digital revenues increased 31% compared to the prior year and are now 19% of total net revenues, the highest contribution since the launch of our digital strategy in 2007. Our growth in digital revenues, strength of our local brands and multiplatform strategy, helped offset the decrease in political revenues to begin this non election year and contributed to our overall growth."
Operating Highlights
TV Station Ratings and Revenue
* The Company was ranked number one or number two for 81% of its ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC news stations in their local markets based on viewership among key demographics1.
* Core local and national advertising sales combined, which excludes political advertising sales, decreased by 2% to $82.5 million, compared to $84.3 million for the first quarter of 2010, which included the benefit of advertising during the 2010 Winter Olympics. The automotive category, which represented 23% of our local and national advertising sales for the quarter, increased to $19.4 million, compared to $19.3 million for the same quarter in 2010.
Digital and Interactive Initiatives
* During the first quarter of 2011, the Company delivered over 37 million total video impressions and engaged 50 million daily unique visitors on its stations’ web sites. Average time on site during the quarter was more than 21 minutes.
* According to comScore’s March 2011 reporting, 88% of the Company’s measured station web sites ranked number one or number two in their local market for unique visitors and 94% ranked number one or number two in their local market for time spent on site, versus the Company’s measured local broadcast competitors2.
* Mobile impressions, which include usage of the Company’s mobile web sites and smartphone and tablet applications, were approximately 89 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to 42 million during the first quarter of 2010.
* During the first quarter of 2011, the Company delivered over 297 million user actions, an increase of 44% over the first quarter of 2010.

Access to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Supplemental Financial Data
The Company reports and discusses its operating results using financial measures consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and believes this should be the primary basis for evaluating its performance. Non-GAAP financial measures such as Broadcast Cash Flow (“BCF”), Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) should not be viewed as alternatives or substitutes for GAAP reporting. However, BCF, Adjusted EBITDA and FCF are common supplemental measures of performance used by investors, lenders, rating agencies and financial analysts. As a result, these non-GAAP measures can provide certain additional insight about the market value of the Company and its stations; the Company’s ability to fund acquisitions, investments and working capital needs; the Company’s ability to service its debt; the Company’s performance versus other peer companies in its industry; and other operating performance trends for its business. The Company makes available reconciliations of its operating income (loss), a GAAP reporting measure, to BCF, Adjusted EBITDA and FCF on the Company’s web site. In addition, the Company provides additional information on its web site, at the same location, regarding historical revenue by source, pro forma income statement information and certain other components of cash flow. Interested parties should go to the Investor Relations section of www.linmedia.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
The information discussed in this press release, particularly in the section with the heading Business Outlook, includes forward-looking statements about the Company’s future operating results within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company based these forward-looking statements on its current assumptions, knowledge, estimates and projections about factors that could affect its future operations. Although the Company believes that its assumptions made in connection with the forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurances can be given that those assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Statements in this press release that are forward-looking include, but are not limited to, local, national and political advertising growth; changes in digital, network compensation, barter and other revenues; changes in direct operating, selling, general and administrative, barter, amortization of program rights and corporate expenses; and cash programming, cash capital expenditures, cash interest expense and principal amortization, cash tax payments and effective tax rates and distributions from equity investments. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions which may cause these expectations and assumptions not to occur or to differ materially from those outcomes projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, ongoing economic uncertainty; restrictions on the Company’s operations as a result of the Company’s indebtedness; global or local events that could disrupt TV broadcasting; softening of the domestic advertising market; further consolidation of national and local advertisers, and the national sales representation market; potential liabilities related to the Company’s guarantee of the debt obligations of its joint venture with NBCUniversal; risks associated with acquisitions, including integration of acquired businesses; changes in TV viewing patterns, ratings and commercial viewing measurement; increases in news and syndicated programming costs, and capital expenditures; changes in television network affiliation agreements and retransmission consent agreements; changes in government regulation; competition; seasonality; effects of complying with accounting standards; potential influence of certain stockholders, including HM Capital Partners LLC and its affiliates, and other risks discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (which are available on the Investor Relations section of www.linmedia.com, or at www.sec.gov), which are incorporated in this release by reference. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless otherwise required to by applicable law.

LIN Media (NYSE: TVL), a local multimedia company, today announced that its current retransmission consent contract with DISH Network, L.L.C. (“DISH”) expires on March 4, 2011 at Midnight (MST) and at this time it appears unlikely that a new agreement will be reached. If a new retransmission consent contract is not reached by March 4, 2011, by law, DISH cannot carry certain local television stations owned, operated, or serviced by LIN Media on its satellite system.
The contract includes the following television stations owned, operated, or serviced by LIN Media:
* Albuquerque: KRQE-TV (CBS) and KASA-TV (FOX)
* Austin: KXAN-TV (NBC) and KNVA-TV (CW)
* Buffalo: WIVB-TV (CBS) and WNLO-TV (CW)
* Columbus: WWHO-TV (CW)
* Dayton: WDTN-TV (NBC), WBDT-TV (CW)
* Ft. Wayne: WANE-TV (CBS)
* Grand Rapids: WOOD-TV (NBC), WOTV-TV (ABC)
* Green Bay: WLUK-TV (FOX)
* Indianapolis: WISH-TV (CBS) and WNDY-TV (MyNetwork TV)
* Lafayette: WLFI-TV (CBS)
* Mobile: WALA-TV (FOX) and WFNA-TV (CW)
* New Haven: WTNH-TV (ABC) and WCTX-TV (MyNetwork TV)
* Norfolk: WAVY-TV (NBC) and WVBT-TV (FOX)
* Providence: WPRI-TV (CBS) and WNAC-TV (FOX)
* Springfield (Mass): WWLP-TV (NBC)
* Terre Haute: WTHI-TV (CBS)
* Toledo: WUPW-TV (FOX)
“Our highly-rated television stations are important assets to our local communities and it is unfortunate that DISH does not recognize their fair market value,” said LIN Media’s President and Chief Executive Officer Vincent Sadusky. “We look forward to continuing negotiations with DISH to reach a deal before our contract expires.”
In the event that these stations are no longer carried by DISH, viewers may continue to watch their local news, lifestyle and sports programs, as well as top-rated prime time and syndicated programming, over-the-air via antenna or by switching to an alternative pay-TV service provider.
