Publishing Segment
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, revenues for the Publishing Segment were $82.7 million, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 8.7%, from revenues of $90.6 million in the prior year’s quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a decline inTV Guide magazine revenue, primarily in circulation and advertising, of $17.7 million, offset by a $7.5 million increase in revenue at SkyMall, and $1.4 million in revenue fromInside TV, which launched in April 2005.
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, Adjusted EBITDA for the Publishing Segment was a negative $(21.3) million, a decrease of $18.9 million from Adjusted EBITDA of negative $(2.4) million in the prior year’s quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the $7.9 million revenue decline noted above, $10.6 million in expenses related to the launch ofInside TV, magazine transition costs of $8.7 million related to the termination of printer contracts, obsolete paper, and severance expenses, and an increase of $5.0 million in cost of goods sold at SkyMall associated with SkyMall’s revenue increase noted above, offset by reduced expenses of $13.6 million from lower printing, paper, and distribution expenses and lower marketing, subscriber acquisition, billing and renewal costs associated withTV Guide digest magazine.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenues were $249.8 million, a decrease of $34.3 million, or 12.1%, from revenues of $284.1 million in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the Publishing Segment was a negative $45.1 million for the first nine months of 2005, a decrease of $61.9 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $16.8 million for the same nine-month period of the prior year. The decrease was due to the $34.3 million decline in revenue noted above, $23.9 million in expenses related to the launch ofInside TV,the absence of the favorable impact of the $10.1 million eBook long-term lease obligation settlement, an increase of $10.2 million in cost of goods sold at SkyMall associated with an increase in SkyMall’s sales, the $8.7 million in printing contract terminations, obsolete paper, and severance expenses discussed above, offset by reduced expenses of $25.5 million from lower printing, paper, and distribution expenses and lower marketing, subscriber acquisition, billing and renewal costs associated withTV Guide digest magazine.
Cable and Satellite Segment
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, revenues for the Cable and Satellite Segment were $67.7 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 10.0%, from revenues of $61.5 million in the prior year’s quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to a $3.3 million increase in TVG Network revenues, primarily due to wagering and licensing, and a $1.4 million increase in revenues at both TV Guide Interactive and TV Guide Channel.
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, Adjusted EBITDA for the Cable and Satellite Segment was $28.9 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, from Adjusted EBITDA of $30.5 million in the prior year’s quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in programming and marketing costs associated with the Emmy Red Carpet event and other TV Guide Channel original programming, a $2.2 million increase in compensation and general and administrative costs at TV Guide Interactive, primarily due to an increase in our share of costs in our Guideworks, LLC joint venture, and $1.4 million in expenses associated with the operations of TV Guide Spot, for which there was no comparable cost in the prior year, offset by the revenue increase of $6.2 million noted above.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenues for the Cable and Satellite Segment were $202.0 million, an increase of $35.3 million, or 21.2%, from revenues of $166.7 million in the same nine-month period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the Cable and Satellite Segment was $81.7 million, an increase of $4.0 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $77.7 million for the same nine-month period of the prior year. The increase was due to the $35.3 million increase in revenues noted above, offset primarily by increases in operating expenses of $13.8 million in programming and marketing costs associated with Red Carpet events and other TV Guide Channel original programming, $1.7 million of increased TV Guide Channel compensation costs, primarily due to severance costs, increases in operating expenses at TVG Network of $3.9 million due to increased wagering volumes and increased content and programming expenses, a $4.3 million increase in operating costs at TV Guide Interactive, and $3.7 million in costs associated with the launch of TV Guide Spot, for which there was no comparable cost in the prior year.
Consumer Electronics Licensing Segment
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, revenues for the Consumer Electronics Licensing Segment were $21.2 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 2.8%, from revenues of $21.8 million in the prior year’s quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues of $1.4 million from the VCR Plus+ business, offset by a $1.1 million increase in revenues from the Company’s CE IPG business, primarily from foreign markets.
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, Adjusted EBITDA for the Consumer Electronics Licensing Segment was $8.6 million, an increase of $6.6 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million in the prior year’s quarter. The increase was primarily related to a decrease of $7.8 million in CE related legal expenses related primarily to the Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. settlement in the second quarter of 2005, offset by the decrease in revenues noted above.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 revenues for the Consumer Electronics Licensing Segment were $72.3 million, a decrease of $22.7 million, or 23.9%, from revenues of $95.0 million in the same nine-month period of 2004. The decrease was primarily related to the absence of $19.4 million in settlements that occurred in the first quarter of 2004. Adjusted EBITDA for the Consumer Electronics Licensing Segment was $32.2 million, a decrease of $6.2 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $38.4 million in the same nine-month period of 2004. The decrease was primarily related to the decline in revenues of $22.7 million noted above and an increase of $2.9 million in compensation costs, primarily in severance costs and increased engineering headcount, offset by a $21.4 million decrease in legal expenses, primarily due to the settlement of legal matters with Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
Corporate Segment
For the three months ended September 30, 2005, Adjusted EBITDA for the Corporate Segment was $(12.9) million, an improvement of $8.2 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $(21.1) million in the same period of 2004. The improvement was primarily due to a $0.9 million reduction in insurance costs and a $5.2 million decline in corporate related legal expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, Adjusted EBITDA for the Corporate Segment was $42.5 million, an improvement of $20.2 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $(62.7) million in the same nine month period of 2004. The improvement was primarily due to a $2.7 million decline in insurance costs and a $16.1 million decline in corporate legal expenses.
Consolidated legal costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 were $5.0 million and $17.1 million, respectively compared with $18.3 million and $54.4 million for the same periods in 2004. The Company itself is a party to several significant pending legal proceedings and in addition various proceedings for which we are required to advance the legal fees and expenses incurred by our former officers remain unresolved. In the absence of the resolution of the pending matters involving our former officers, our legal expenses for the remainder of 2005 are likely to increase over the levels incurred during the third quarter.
Discussion of Cash and Liquidity
At September 30, 2005, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities were $494.3 million, excluding restricted cash of $39.3 million. Outstanding debt and capital lease obligations, both short and long-term, were $13.4 million, resulting in cash and cash equivalents and current marketable securities in excess of debt and capital lease obligations of $480.9 million, excluding $39.3 million in restricted cash.
As disclosed previously, the Company anticipates paying approximately $80.0 million in income taxes in 2005, primarily as a result of the treatment, for tax purposes, of the payments received in 2004 from Comcast and EchoStar under Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Revenue Procedure 2004-34. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company paid $52.5 million in income taxes. As a result of the completion of an IRS examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2000 and 2001, the Company is entitled to a tax refund of $13.6 million plus interest. The Company expects to receive this refund in approximately the next 4 months. Additionally, the Company expects to file an additional income tax refund request by the end of 2005 for approximately $35 million, which it expects to receive in the first half of 2006.
Taking into account severance costs, losses associated with the wind-down of the digest product, and the conversion costs of the new format, we continue to expect that TV Guide magazine operations (excluding Inside TV) in 2005, will incur $55 million to $65 million in operating losses with the majority of these losses occurring in the fourth quarter of 2005. For fiscal year 2006, we continue to expect to incur $35 million to $45 million in operating losses from TV Guide magazine. We believe the reformatted TV Guide magazine will begin to contribute positively to the Publishing Segment’s adjusted EBITDA in approximately three years.
For the Inside TV magazine, which debut in April of 2005, the new magazine incurred operating losses of $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2005 and has incurred cumulative operating losses since its inception of $24.1 million through September 30, 2005. We anticipate investing approximately $6.0 million to $11.0 million on the continuing operations of Inside TV for the remainder of 2005 and an additional $10.0 to $15.0 million in 2006. While we are currently looking at opportunities to reduce Inside TV’s cost structure, if we are not able to meaningfully increase our contributing circulation base over the next several months, we are likely to incur a greater investment in Inside TV’s operations in 2006 then previously anticipated. The actual amount and timing of losses for both Inside TV and TV Guide magazines are dependent upon a number of factors, including the rate of rack acquisition, marketing and advertising campaigns or promotions and the level of consumer and advertiser acceptance.
