MOSCOW, April 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CTC Media, Inc. ("CTC Media" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: CTCM), Russia's leading independent media company, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Three Months Ended March 31, (US$ 000's except per share data) 2009 2010 Change Total operating revenues $104,778 $123,200 18% Total operating expenses (68,195) (86,924) 27% OIBDA[1] 39,164 39,653 1% OIBDA margin[2] 37.4% 32.2% Net income/(loss) 23,312 25,199 8% attributable to CTC Media, Inc. stockholders Diluted earnings per $0.15 $0.16 7% share
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - Total revenues of $123.2 million - up 3% year-on-year in ruble terms - Russian advertising revenues up 4% year-on-year in ruble terms - Total operating expenses up 12% year-on-year in ruble terms - Fully diluted earnings per share of $0.16 (Q1 2009: $0.15) - Net cash position of $76.2[3] million at end of the period - $0.065 per share second installment of 2010 cash dividend to be paid on June 30, 2010 to stockholders of record as of June 1, 2010 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS - Average combined 4+ audience share in Russia up year-on-year from 12.4% to 13.0% - Target audience shares up year-on-year for CTC and Domashny networks - Successful introduction of CTC-international following its North American launch in December 2009 - Sale of 100% interest in Kazakh radio station for $2.0 million in cash in January 2010
Anton Kudryashov, Chief Executive Officer of CTC Media, commented: "The Russian TV advertising market has stabilized and is growing again, which reflects the increasing demand from domestic and international advertisers. Our 18% year-on-year reported advertising revenue growth in US dollar terms in the first quarter reflects the efficient monetization of substantially increased target audience shares for our CTC and Domashny channels, with continued high power ratios, as well as favorable currency exchange rate movements. We have also reported a 24% year-on-year increase in our US dollar sublicensing and own production revenues, and our CTC-international channel has made an encouraging start in the US market.
"As anticipated, we have increased our investments in the programming schedules and network coverage of our DTV and Domashny channels, in order to drive up their audience and market shares, but we have still delivered an OIBDA margin of over 32% in the seasonally weak first quarter period. We have used part of our cash flows to make the first of our intended 2010 dividend payments and to repay all of our outstanding debt. As before, we are also increasing our capital expenditure levels to move our digital play-out facility and headquarters to a single location in Moscow, to create a back-up facility at our existing location, and to continue the ongoing digitalization of our content library and upgrading of our broadcasting equipment.
"Approximately 90% of our forecast full year 2010 Russian national inventory has now already been booked under forward contracts and the pricing environment is improving. We are also continuing to review all of our options following the changes in Russian legislation regarding advertising sales, and we see potential opportunities to increase sales efficiency and transparency levels moving forward."
Operating Review Revenues Three Months Ended March 31, (US$ 000's) 2009 2010 Change Operating revenues: Advertising $ 99,075 $ 116,983 18% Sublicensing and own production revenue 4,875 6,042 24% Other revenue 828 175 -79% Total operating revenues $ 104,778 $ 123,200 18%
Total operating revenues were up 18% year-on-year in the first quarter in US dollar terms, which reflected the strengthening of the Company's principal operating currency (the Russian ruble) against its US dollar reporting currency, as well as higher audience shares for the CTC and Domashny channels. Total operating revenues were up 3% year-on-year in ruble terms. Russian advertising sales accounted for just over 90% of the first quarter total operating revenues and were up 4% year-on-year in ruble terms.
Three Months Ended March 31, (US$ 000's) 2009 2010 Change Operating revenues by segment[4]: CTC Network $ 70,555 $ 82,639 17% Domashny Network 10,567 13,431 27% DTV Network 8,667 9,885 14% CTC Television Station Group 10,254 12,128 18% Domashny Television Station Group 1,739 1,681 -3% DTV Station Television Group 774 674 -13% CIS Group 2,044 2,217 8% Production Group 178 442 148% CTC-international - 103 Total operating revenues $104,778 $123,200 18%
The CIS Group, which accounted for 1.9% of revenues in the quarter, reported a 8% year-on-year increase in sales. This primarily reflected higher advertising rates and sell-out levels for Channel 31 in Kazakhstan, which were partially offset by a lower target audience share.
The Company's sublicensing and own production revenue increased by 24% year-on-year in dollar terms to $6.0 million (Q1 2009: $4.8 million), primarily as a result of increased sales of content to broadcasters in Ukraine. The CTC-international channel has also performed well since its December 2009 launch, having signed up 18,000 subscribers and generated $103,000 in revenues (included in sublicensing and own production revenue).
Share of Viewing in Target Demographics Average Audience Shares (%) Q1 2009 Q4 2009 Q1 2010 CTC Network (all 6-54) 11.4 12.7 12.6 Domashny Network (women 25-60) 2.6 2.9 3.0 DTV Network (all 25-54) 2.2 2.1 2.1 Channel 31 (all 6-54) 12.7 10.4 10.5
The flagship CTC Network's average target audience share was up year-on-year from 11.4% to 12.6%, reflecting the strengthening of its programming schedule. Major audience share drivers in the first quarter included new episodes of 'Daddy's Girls', 'Margosha' and 'Voroniny' (an adaptation of 'Everybody Loves Raymond'), supported by a strong line-up of Hollywood blockbusters during weekday prime-time.
Domashny's target audience share was also up year-on-year in the first quarter from 2.6% to 3.0%, making it the most watched second-tier channel in Russia in its target demographic. The increase in audience share reflected the launch of Russian female comedy sketch show 'One for All' and the continued success of 'House M.D.', which were supported by a high-rating lineup of movies and a variety of Russian programs and documentaries.
The DTV channel, which has been focused on the 25-54 year-old target audience group since January 2009, reported a slightly lower audience share year-on-year and a stable audience share quarter-on-quarter. This was primarily due to strong competition from top-tier broadcasters (such as the Rossiya 2 channel, which aired the Winter Olympics), the relative underperformance of a number of DTV's Russian shows, and the postponed launch of important premieres, which are expected to have a positive impact on DTV's audience share moving forward.
Channel 31's target audience share was down year-on-year from 12.7% to 10.5% but slightly up quarter-on-quarter. The year-on-year decline was primarily related to changes in the TNS measurement panel (driven, among other things, by a growth in cable TV penetration), which negatively affected all free-to-air channels in Kazakhstan, and the softer performance of Russian language content, some of which has been dubbed into Kazakh following the introduction of stricter local language programming requirements. Channel 31 was the third-most watched channel in Kazakhstan in the first quarter of 2010 in its target 'all 6-54' demographic.
Expenses Three Months Ended March 31, (US$ 000's) 2009 2010 Change Operating expenses: Direct operating expenses $ 7,347 $ 12,473 70% Selling, general & administrative expenses 18,322 20,258 11% Amortization of programming rights 36,883 49,461 34% Amortization of sublicensing 3,062 1,355 -56% rights and own production cost Depreciation & amortization 2,581 3,377 31% Total operating expenses $ 68,195 $ 86,924 27%
Total operating expenses were up 27% year-on-year in the first quarter in US dollar terms and up 12% in ruble terms, which primarily reflected the year-on-year increase in programming amortization costs and direct operating expenses.
Direct operating expenses were up 70% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 49% in ruble terms, largely as a result of an increase in network affiliation expenses and transmission fees, as well as $2.5 million of stock-based compensation expenses arising from the granting of options in October and December 2009 under the Company's 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and the granting of equity-based incentive awards in the first quarter of 2010.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were up 11% year-on-year in US dollar terms but down 3% year-on-year in ruble terms. The decrease in local currency terms was primarily the result of decreases in advertising and promotion expenses, caused by the rescheduling of advertising campaigns and decreases in headcount, which were partially offset by annual increases in salaries and benefits.
Stock-based compensation expenses allocated to direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $7.3 million in the first quarter (Q1 2009: $4.3 million), of which $2.3 million related to stock options granted at the end of 2009 according to the terms of the Company's 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and $1.3 million related to equity-based incentive awards.
Programming expenses were up 34% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 18% in ruble terms. The year-on-year increase in programming costs in the first quarter reflected additional investments in the Domashny and DTV schedules, in-line with CTC Media's previously announced development strategy for the smaller channels, as well as more expensive blockbuster movies aired on CTC in February and March, which resulted in an 18% year-on-year increase in the average quarterly audience share for the weekday 10:00pm movie slot. An increase in the amortization of programming rights was also recorded by the DTV Network, due to higher impairment charges caused by the moving some underperforming Russian and international series to late night slots ($1.4 million). Total content impairment charges amounted to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 (Q1 2009: $1.5 million).
Sublicensing and own production costs were down 56% year-on-year in US dollar terms and down 61% in ruble terms. This decline was primarily due to a one-off expense incurred in the first quarter of 2009 in conjunction with the production of a motion picture for theatrical release.
Consolidated OIBDA increased year-on-year to $39.7 million in the first quarter (Q1 2009: $39.2 million), with an OIBDA margin of 32.2% (Q1 2009: 37.4%).
Net interest income was $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to net interest expenses of $1.1 million in the same period of 2009, following the stepped repayment of the Company's US$135 million syndicated loan facility during 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the credit facility had been fully repaid.
Other non-operating income was $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 (Q1 2009: net loss of $0.2 million), which primarily related to the recognized gain on the sale of the Company's interest in a radio station in Kazakhstan for total consideration of $2.0 million. The radio station was previously part of the Channel 31 Group and its spin-off was in-line with the focusing of the Kazakh business on its core television assets.
Pre-tax income, therefore, increased by 23% year-on-year to $38.4 million in the first quarter (Q1 2009: $31.3 million).
Net income attributable to CTC Media, Inc. stockholders increased year-on-year to $25.2 million in the first quarter (Q1 2009: $23.3 million), and fully diluted earnings per share increased to $0.16 (Q1 2009: $0.15).
Cash Flow
The Company's net cash flow from operating activities totaled $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 (Q1 2009: $27.8 million) and reflected the effect of higher spending on programming and sublicensing rights, which was partially offset by higher advertising sales in the first quarter 2010. The increase in cash paid for programming rights in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to advance payments for programming that will be aired in 2010 and thereafter.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $26.4 million (Q1 2009: $13.0 million) and included $12.8 million in earn-out payments related to the acquisitions of Costafilm and Soho Media in 2008.
Cash used in financing activities amounted to $38.4 million in the quarter (cash provided by financing activities in Q1 2009: $42 thousand) and included the payment of $10 million in cash dividends to the Company's stockholders and the repayment of the remaining $28.3 million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to $76.2 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $123.5 million at the end of 2009.
Borrowings
In March 2010, the Company repaid the remaining $28.3 million balance on its $135 million syndicated loan facility. The Company therefore had a net cash position of $76.2 million as at March 31, 2010, compared to a net cash position of $95.2 million at the end of 2009.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: OIBDA (on a consolidated and segment basis) and OIBDA margin. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the accompanying financial tables included at the end of this release.
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results. These metrics are used by management to further its understanding of the Company's operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. The Company also believes that these metrics provide investors and equity analysts with a useful basis for analyzing operating performance against historical data and the results of comparable companies.
OIBDA and OIBDA margin. OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization (exclusive of amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by total operating revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP measures to OIBDA and OIBDA margin are operating income and operating income margin, respectively. Unlike operating income, OIBDA excludes depreciation and amortization, other than amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights. The purchase of programming rights is the Company's most significant expenditure that enables it to generate revenues, and OIBDA includes the impact of the amortization of these rights. Expenditures for capital items such as property, plant and equipment have a materially less significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues. For this reason, the Company excludes the related depreciation expense for these items from OIBDA. Moreover, a significant portion of the Company's intangible assets were acquired in business acquisitions. The amortization of intangible assets is therefore also excluded from OIBDA.
