Grosse Pointe Farms, MI – November 1, 2005 – Saga Communications, Inc. (NYSE-SGA) today reported that 3rd quarter 2005 net operating revenue increased 5.0% over the comparable period in 2004 to approximately $36.0 million and operating income decreased 5.0% to approximately $7.9 million. Net income decreased approximately $878 thousand to approximately $3.4 million ($.17 per fully diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to $4.3 million ($.20 per fully diluted share) for the comparable period in 2004. Approximately 70% of the reduction in net income for the quarter was due to increased interest expense which net of taxes, was approximately $613 thousand. For the same period, station operating expense increased 8.8% to approximately $26.1 million (station operating expense includes depreciation and amortization attributable to the stations). On a same station basis for the quarter, net operating revenue was approximately even at $34.1 million. This includes overcoming a $955 thousand reduction in gross political revenue for the period. Operating income decreased 8.0% to $7.7 million and station operating expense increased 2.0% to $24.5 million on a same station basis.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, net operating revenue increased 6.9% over the comparable period in 2004 to approximately $105.4 million, operating income decreased 3.9% to approximately $21.8 million and net income was approximately $8.7 million ($.42 per fully diluted share) compared to $11.7 million ($.55 per fully diluted share) for the comparable period in 2004. For the nine month period, 68% of the reduction in net income was due to an increase in interest expense of $1.3 million, net of taxes, along with the $767 thousand charge, net of taxes, for the disposition of the Victoria tower as reported in our 2nd quarter earnings release and related documents. For the same period, station operating expense increased 10.8% to approximately $77.5 million (station operating expense includes depreciation and amortization attributable to the stations). On a same station basis for the nine months, net operating revenue increased 1.2% to approximately $97.6 million. This includes overcoming a $1.4 million reduction in gross political revenue for the period. Operating
income decreased 7.1% to $20.6 million and station operating expense increased 3.9% to $70.9 million on a same station basis.
Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2005 were approximately $1.7million. Of that amount $116 thousand was attributable to acquisitions. Currently, we expect capital expenditures for the year to be approximately $10.5 million.
The attached Selected Supplemental Financial Data table discloses “as reported,” “same station” and “pro forma” information by segment. The “as reported” amounts reflect our historical financial results and include the results of operations for stations that we did not own for the entire comparable period. The “same station” amounts reflect only the results of operations for stations that we owned for the entire comparable period. The “pro forma” amounts assume the 2005 and 2004 acquisitions and dispositions occurred as of January 1, 2004.
Saga Communications utilizes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to assess its financial performance. Such non-GAAP measures include same station financial information and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are generally recognized by the broadcasting industry as measures of performance and are used by Saga to assess its financial performance including but not limited to evaluating individual station and market-level performance, evaluating overall operations and as a primary measure for incentive based compensation of executives and other members of management. Saga’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are used by analysts who report on the industry and by investors to provide meaningful comparisons between broadcasting groups, as well as an indicator of their market value. These measures are not measures of liquidity or of performance in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to and not as a substitute for the results of operations presented on a GAAP basis including net operating revenue, operating income, and net income. Reconciliations for all of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are attached in the Selected Financial Data Non-GAAP Disclosures tables.
