FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

Revenues decreased $10 million or 1% in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $867 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $22 million adverse impact on Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Revenues would have increased 1%, including the benefit of acquisitions.

For the full year 2016, Revenues decreased $27 million or 1% versus the prior year to $3.08 billion, primarily reflecting declines in Print and other advertising revenues and Circulation revenues, partially offset by growth in Digital advertising revenues primarily driven by acquisitions. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $46 million adverse impact on Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Revenues would have increased 1%, including the benefit of acquisitions.

Advertising Revenues increased $25 million or 5% in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $509 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had an $8 million adverse impact on Advertising revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Advertising revenues would have increased 7%.

For the full year 2016, Advertising revenues increased $57 million or 3% from the prior year to $1.71 billion, reflecting an increase in Digital advertising revenues, primarily resulting from the benefit of the Viant acquisition and, to a lesser extent, growth in Digital advertising revenues relating to social media platforms and programmatic sales. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in Print and other advertising revenues attributable to fewer advertising pages sold, primarily resulting from the continuing trend of advertisers shifting advertising spending from print to other media, and lower average price per page of advertising sold. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $16 million adverse impact on Advertising revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Advertising revenues would have increased 4%.

Circulation Revenues decreased $31 million or 11% in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $247 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had an $11 million adverse impact on Circulation revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Circulation revenues would have decreased 7%.

For the full year 2016, Circulation revenues decreased $99 million or 9% from the prior year to $944 million, primarily due to the continued shift in consumer preferences from print to digital media, which resulted in lower domestic Subscription revenues and a decline in both international and domestic Newsstand revenues. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $25 million adverse impact on Circulation revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Circulation revenues would have decreased 7%.

Other Revenues, which include marketing and support services provided to third parties, branded book publishing, events and licensing, decreased $4 million or 3% in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $111 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $3 million adverse impact on Other revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Other revenues would have decreased 1%.

For the full year 2016, Other revenues increased $15 million or 4% from the prior year to $420 million, primarily driven by the benefit of acquisitions, partially offset by a decline in branded book publishing. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $5 million adverse impact on Other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Other revenues would have increased 5%.

Costs of Revenues and Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses decreased $36 millionor 5% in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $687 million. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had an $18 million favorable impact on Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses would have decreased 2%.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $8 million to $2.69 billion from the prior year, primarily driven by costs of operations of digital investments and growth initiatives. Additionally, included in Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $25 millionand $10 million, respectively, of Other costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments and dispositions which have been excluded from our Adjusted OIBDA calculation. These increases were partially offset by benefits realized from previously announced cost savings initiatives, real estate savings and noncash losses recognized in connection with the settlement of a domestic excess pension plan during the year ended December 31, 2015. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $39 million favorable impact on Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses would have increased 2%.

Restructuring and Severance Costs decreased $146 million or 86% in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $23 million. For the full year 2016, Restructuring and severance costs decreased $114 million or 60% from the prior year to $77 million. The higher Restructuring and severance costs in 2015 compared to 2016 were primarily driven by real estate consolidations in the fourth quarter of 2015, including the exit from our former corporate headquarters, partially offset by costs associated with the realignment program announced in July 2016 to unify and centralize the editorial, advertising sales and brand development organizations.

Operating Income (Loss) was income of $122 million and $10 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in Operating income (loss) in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter 2015 was due to higher Restructuring and severance costs in the year-earlier quarter, which primarily related to real estate consolidations, including the exit from our former corporate headquarters.

Operating income (loss) was income of $2 million and a loss of $823 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in Operating income (loss) during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 was due to higher Restructuring and severance costs in the prior year, which primarily related to real estate consolidations, including the exit from our former corporate headquarters, partially offset by costs associated with the realignment program announced in July 2016 to unify and centralize the editorial, advertising sales and brand development organizations. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2016 included noncash Asset impairments of $192 million, primarily related to an impairment of a domestic tradename intangible. Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was the result of a noncash Goodwill impairment charge of $952 million.

Adjusted OIBDA of $182 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 represented an increase of $23 million from the year-earlier quarter primarily due to higher Operating income. Adjusted OIBDA for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $414 million represented a decrease of$26 million from the prior year primarily due to lower Revenues and higher Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Operations increased $62 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $89 million. For the full year 2016, Cash provided by (used in) operations increased $41 million or 27% from the prior year to $195 million.

Free Cash Flow was an inflow of $66 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 versus an outflow of $53 million for the year-earlier quarter, primarily reflecting improvements in Cash provided by (used in) operations as well as lower Capital expenditures. For the full year 2016, Free cash flow was an inflow of $94 million versus an outflow of $58 million from the prior year, primarily reflecting lower capital expenditures.

On February 16, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.19 per common share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2017, payable on March 15, 2017.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.75% Senior Notes at a discounted price together with accrued interest for a total of $46 million. As a result of the repurchase, we recognized a pretax gain on extinguishment of debt of $4 million. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we repurchased 0.39 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $13.48 per common share. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased approximately 7.72 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $14.76 per share.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Time Inc. utilizes Operating income (loss) excluding Depreciation and Amortization of intangible assets ("OIBDA"), Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income (loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its business and its liquidity. We believe that the presentation of these measures helps investors to analyze underlying trends in our business and to evaluate the performance of our business both on an absolute basis and relative to our peers and the broader market. We believe that these measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business and help investors evaluate our liquidity and our ability to service our debt.

Some limitations of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income (loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free cash flow are that they do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of the Company’s business and they involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance.

A general limitation of these measures is that they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and excluded items. OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income (loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company’s Operating income (loss), Net income (loss), Diluted net income (loss) per common share and various cash flow measures (e.g., Cash provided by (used in) operations), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, this earnings release includes comparisons that exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes. These comparisons, which are non-GAAP measures, are calculated by assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior year average foreign exchange rates. We believe this provides useful supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our own performance.
