Time Inc. President and CEO Rich Battista said, "As we continue our aggressive transformation to a digital-first company, I am pleased with the strong growth of our digital advertising revenues and digital audiences in the third quarter. The integration of Viant, our proprietary targeting and data platform, into the overall Time Inc. go-to-market approach is bringing new, unique capabilities to our advertising partners, and beginning to yield incremental revenue across the portfolio. Our native advertising business, through The Foundry, is experiencing rapid growth.

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Revenues decreased $23 million or 3% in the third quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $750 million, 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 $14 million adverse impact on Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the year-earlier quarter.

Advertising Revenues increased $19 million or 5% in the third quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $417 million 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 programmatic sales. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in Print and other advertising revenues. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $5 million adverse impact on Advertising revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the year-earlier quarter.

Circulation Revenues decreased $38 million or 15% in the third quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $223 million, primarily due to the continued shift in consumer preferences from print to digital media. We saw lower domestic Subscription revenues and lower domestic and international Newsstand revenues. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had an $8 million adverse impact on Circulation revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the year-earlier quarter.

Other Revenues, which include marketing and support services provided to third parties, branded book publishing, events and licensing, decreased $4 million or 4% in the third quarter of 2016 from the year-earlier quarter to $110 million, principally driven by a decline in revenues from branded book publishing.

Operating Expenses, which consist of Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), decreased $17 million or 3% to $652 million, reflecting benefits realized from previously announced cost savings initiatives and real estate savings realized and noncash losses recognized in connection with the settlement of a domestic excess pension plan in the year-earlier quarter. These decreases were partially offset by increased costs of operations of acquired businesses and growth initiatives. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $12 million favorable impact on Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, included in SG&A for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments and dispositions ("transaction costs") which have been excluded from our Adjusted OIBDA calculation.

Restructuring and Severance Costs increased $35 million to $43 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 in comparison to the quarter ended September 30, 2015 primarily related to the realignment program announced in July to unify and centralize the editorial, advertising sales and brand development organizations.

Operating Income (Loss) was a loss of $167 million and $899 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Operating income (loss) in the third quarter of 2016 included Asset impairments of $188 million, primarily related to a definite-lived tradename intangible, and in the third quarter of 2015 included a Goodwill impairment charge of $952 million.

Adjusted OIBDA of $100 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 represented a decrease of $13 million from the year-earlier quarter of 2015.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Operations was $79 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 versus $84 million for the year-earlier period.

Free Cash Flow was $62 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 versus $15 million for the year-earlier quarter, primarily reflecting lower capital expenditures.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased $5 million of aggregate principal amount of our 5.75% Senior Notes at a discount and recognized a nominal pretax gain on the extinguishment of such notes. We also repurchased 1.11 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $15.06 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Such repurchases were made in accordance with our Board of Directors' authorizations in November 2015.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Time Inc. utilizes 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.
