MEDIA RELEASE
Fisher Communications Reports Second Quarter 2012
Net Television Revenue increased 19%; TV Cash flow increased 82%
SEATTLE, WA – (MARKETWIRE) – August 7, 2012– Fisher Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSCI), a leader in local media innovation, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. For the quarter, earnings per diluted share were $0.48, compared to $0.41 for the second quarter of 2011, and television cash flow increased 82%, or $5.7 million, to $12.6 million.
The Company’s second quarter was highlighted by 19% growth in net television revenue compared to the same period in 2011. Net television revenue, excluding political revenue, increased 17% for the same period. The continued strength and market leading positions of Fisher’s television stations drove performance in the quarter. Fisher was able to capture a larger share of advertising and earn a significant increase in retransmission revenue during the quarter.
“Fisher’s solid performance is a result of playing to our strength,” said Colleen B. Brown, Fisher’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The combination of leading broadcast stations and innovative digital solutions, leverages the strength of our local media assets. Through our multiplatform approach, Fisher is deepening its relationship with consumers and providing advertisers with advanced local multiplatform solutions to reach their customers – these are distinct advantages that benefit all of our stakeholders.”
Second Quarter Results
Fisher’s consolidated revenue was $42.3 million, up 5% from the second quarter of 2011. Excluding Fisher Plaza revenues from the second quarter of 2011, Fisher’s consolidated revenue increased 16% compared to the second quarter of 2011.
The Company’s retransmission revenue increased 89% from the second quarter of 2011, reflecting renewals of retransmission consent agreements for the 2012-2014 cycle. Accordingly, the Company’s second quarter financial results include approximately $700,000 of retransmission fees attributable to those contracts for the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the $700,000 of retransmission revenue attributable to the first quarter of 2012, total retransmission revenue increased $2.3 million, or 68%, from the second quarter of 2011.
Broadcast cash flow increased 69% to $14.4 million, which reflects the increase in broadcast revenue and the Company’s continued focus on expense management.
Direct operating, selling, general and administrative and programming expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were flat compared to the second quarter of 2011. However, last year’s second quarter results included expenses related to the Company’s 2011 proxy contest and savings related to the Company’s revised vacation policy.
EBITDA was $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 15%, or $1.1 million, from the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA (excluding Plaza rent expense in 2012 and Plaza EBITDA in 2011) was $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 91%, or $4.9 million, from the same period in 2011. Second quarter 2012 EBITDA included $1.3 million of Fisher Plaza rent expense and last year’s second quarter EBITDA included $2.5 million of Plaza EBITDA.

Definitions and Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
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.
The preceding discussion of our results includes a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures such as Television cash flow, Radio cash flow, Broadcast cash flow and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives or substitutes for GAAP reporting.
The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because they are used by lenders to measure the Company’s ability to service debt; by industry analysts to determine the market value of stations and their operating performance; and by management to identify the cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain capital assets and fund ongoing operations and working capital needs; and, because they reflect the most up-to-date operating results of the stations inclusive of pending acquisitions, time brokerage agreements or local marketing agreements. Management believes they also provide an additional basis from which investors can establish forecasts and valuations for the Company’s business.
Television and radio cash flow are calculated as television and radio segment income (loss) from operations plus amortization of broadcast rights, non-cash charges, Internet and trade expenses minus payments for broadcast rights and Internet revenue. Broadcast cash flow is calculated by adding the Television and radio cash flow.
EBITDA is calculated as income (loss) from operations plus amortization of broadcast rights; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net; proxy related costs; and non-cash charges minus payments for broadcast rights; gain on sale of real estate, net; Plaza fire reimbursements, net; and amortization of non-cash benefit resulting from a change in national advertising representation firm.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes Fisher Plaza rent expense in the second quarter of 2012 and Plaza EBITDA in the second quarter of 2011. Plaza EBITDA is calculated as Plaza segment income (loss) from operations. Management believes this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides investors with a comparable measure given the impact of the disposition of Fisher Plaza.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measurements to the GAAP financial results cited in this press release, please see the supplemental tables at the end of this release.
