NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2013
NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS)
today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31,
2012.
"CBS has turned in another quarter of exceptional performance, capping off
another terrific year," said Sumner Redstone, Executive Chairman, CBS
Corporation. "Our results today speak to the strength of our
strategy—producing and distributing great content and monetizing it over and
over again. I am confident that Leslie and his team will continue to
capitalize on all of the opportunities we have before us this year and
beyond."
"CBS had a record year in 2012, as well as a record fourth quarter, and the
momentum is building for an even better 2013," said Leslie Moonves, President
and Chief Executive Officer, CBS Corporation. "Advertising revenue is growing,
and our revenue from non-advertising sources continues to grow even faster.
This includes new recently signed streaming, retransmission consent, and
reverse compensation deals as well as ongoing strength in domestic and
international syndication sales. Meanwhile, the confidence and visibility we
have in our operations, along with the strategic actions we're pursuing at CBS
Outdoor, have allowed us to announce today that we are accelerating the pace
of our share repurchase program by another billion dollars. Going forward,
returning value to our shareholders will continue to be a top priority for us.
We feel very good about our future, and we are very encouraged by the strength
of our core businesses and the increasing premium we are able to command for
our content."
Fourth Quarter 2012 Results
The Company set fourth quarter records in the following key metrics:
o Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA")
of $866 million
o Operating income of $726 million
o Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $.64
o Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $.62
Revenues of $3.70 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 2% from
$3.61 billion in the same prior-year period. This growth was led by a 3%
increase in advertising revenues, which reflects higher political and network
advertising. Affiliate and subscription fee revenues rose 9%, driven by growth
at Cable Networks, as well as higher retransmission revenues and fees from CBS
Network affiliated television stations. Content licensing and distribution
revenues were down 7%, primarily from the timing of streaming revenues.
Adjusted OIBDA of $866 million increased 6% in the fourth quarter of 2012 from
$814 million for the same prior-year period. Operating income of $726 million
increased 12% in the fourth quarter of 2012 from $647 million in the fourth
quarter of 2011. The growth in adjusted OIBDA and operating income was
primarily driven by the higher revenues.
Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations were $414 million for the
fourth quarter of 2012, or $.64 per diluted share, up from $377 million, or
$.56 per diluted share, for the same prior-year period. Reported net earnings
from continuing operations were $403 million for the fourth quarter of 2012,
or $.62 per diluted share, up from $351 million, or $.52 per diluted share,
for last year's fourth quarter. The increase in diluted earnings per share
reflected the operating income growth, lower interest expense as a result of
the Company's 2012 debt refinancing, and lower weighted average shares
outstanding as a result of the Company's ongoing share repurchase program.
Adjusted OIBDA and adjusted net earnings from continuing operations in the
fourth quarter of 2012 exclude $19 million of restructuring charges, primarily
for the reorganization of certain business operations and early contract
termination costs. The Company will begin to see recurring cost savings
related to these actions in 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2011, restructuring
charges were $43 million.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2013, the Company announced a pair of
strategic initiatives at its outdoor advertising business. In the fourth
quarter of 2012, the Company began the process of converting its outdoor
business in the Americas into a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), and
initiated a plan to divest its outdoor advertising business in Europe and
Asia. As a result, the Company's outdoor advertising business in Europe and
Asia has been classified as held-for-sale, and its results have been presented
as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to reported results are included at the
end of this earnings release.
Full Year 2012 Results
In 2012, the Company set new records in the following key metrics:
o Revenues of $14.09 billion
o Adjusted OIBDA of $3.49 billion
o Operating income of $2.98 billion
o Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.55
o Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.48
Full year 2012 revenues of $14.09 billion rose 3% from $13.64 billion in 2011
with increases in each of the Company's major revenue streams. The growth was
led by higher content licensing and distribution revenues, which were up 7%,
driven by licensing agreements for digital streaming and higher domestic and
international syndication sales. Affiliate and subscription fee revenues
increased 9%, reflecting growth at Cable Networks as well as higher
retransmission revenues and fees from CBS Network affiliated television
stations. Advertising revenues grew 1%, mainly driven by higher political
advertising associated with the U.S. Presidential election.
Adjusted OIBDA of $3.49 billion in 2012 increased 10% from $3.16 billion in
2011. Operating income of $2.98 billion increased 14% from $2.62 billion in
2011, and the operating income margin rose two percentage points, to 21%. The
adjusted OIBDA and operating income growth and margin expansion were primarily
driven by increases in high-margin revenue streams and larger profits on
television licensing revenues.
Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations in 2012 were $1.68 billion,
or $2.55 per diluted share, up from $1.42 billion, or $2.08 per diluted share,
for 2011. Reported net earnings from continuing operations for 2012 were $1.63
billion, or $2.48 per diluted share, up from $1.39 billion, or $2.04 per
diluted share, for 2011. The increase in diluted earnings per share reflected
the operating income growth, lower interest expense because of the Company's
2012 debt refinancing, and lower weighted average shares outstanding as a
result of the Company's share repurchase program.
Adjusted OIBDA and adjusted net earnings from continuing operations for 2012
exclude a noncash impairment charge of $11 million relating to radio station
divestitures, restructuring charges of $19 million, and a pretax net loss on
early extinguishment of debt of $32 million. For 2011, adjusted OIBDA and
adjusted net earnings from continuing operations exclude restructuring charges
of $43 million.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to reported results are included at the
end of this earnings release.
Free Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Free cash flow was $199 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared with
an outflow of $42 million for the fourth quarter a year ago. Each of these
periods included $200 million of discretionary pension contributions. For the
2012 full year, free cash flow was $1.57 billion compared with $1.59 billion
in 2011. The Company generated cash flow from operating activities from
continuing operations of $1.82 billion for 2012 versus $1.83 billion for 2011,
reflecting increased investment in content and higher income tax payments,
offset by lower discretionary pension contributions in 2012.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company repurchased 8.5 million shares of
CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock for $299 million. For the 2012 full year, the
Company repurchased 35.5 million shares for $1.17 billion, at an average cost
of $33 per share. Since the inception of the share repurchase program in
January 2011 through December 31, 2012, the Company has repurchased 77.7
million shares of its Class B Common Stock for $2.19 billion, at an average
cost of $28 per share, leaving $2.51 billion of authorization remaining at
December 31, 2012.
In addition, the Company separately announced today a plan to accelerate its
share repurchase program by $1 billion in 2013.
At December 31, 2012, the Company's debt outstanding was $5.92 billion, and
its cash balance was $708 million, which was $48 million higher than December
31, 2011.

Entertainment (CBS Television Network, CBS Television Studios, CBS Global
Distribution Group, CBS Films, and CBS Interactive)
Entertainment revenues of $1.99 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012 were
even with the same prior-year period. Higher advertising revenues and growth
in network affiliation fees were offset by lower television license fee
revenues as the fourth quarter of 2011 benefited from the initial streaming
sale of The CW content. Network advertising revenues increased despite the
impact of pre-emptions for the presidential debates and election night
coverage.
Entertainment OIBDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 3% to $328
million from $318 million in the same prior-year period, principally
reflecting a more profitable mix of revenues. Operating income includes
restructuring charges of $7 million in 2012 and $40 million in 2011.
Cable Networks (Showtime Networks, CBS Sports Network, and Smithsonian
Networks)
Cable Networks revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 11% to $438
million from $395 million for the same prior-year period. The growth was
driven by higher affiliate revenues, which reflect increases in rates and
subscriptions at Showtime Networks (which includes Showtime, The Movie
Channel, and Flix), CBS Sports Network, and Smithsonian Networks, as well as
an increase in revenues from the licensing of Showtime original series.
Cable Networks OIBDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 6% to $185
million from $175 million in the same prior-year period primarily reflecting
revenue growth, which was partially offset by higher costs from the timing of
theatrical and original programming.
Publishing (Simon & Schuster)
Publishing revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased 6% to $215
million from $229 million for the same prior-year period as strong growth in
digital book sales was more than offset by lower print book sales. Digital
book sales increased 24% from the same prior-year period and represented 24%
of total Publishing revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012. Best-selling
titles in the fourth quarter included The Last Man by Vince Flynn and Proof of
Heaven by Eben Alexander.
Publishing OIBDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $3 million to $31
million from the same prior-year period, principally driven by lower expenses
resulting from the growth in more profitable digital book sales as a
percentage of total revenues. Operating income includes restructuring charges
of $3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $2 million for the same
prior-year period.
Local Broadcasting (CBS Television Stations and CBS Radio)
Local Broadcasting revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 9% to
$787 million from $721 million for the same prior-year period, reflecting
higher political advertising and retransmission revenues. CBS Television
Stations revenues increased 17%, while CBS Radio revenues were up 1%.
Local Broadcasting OIBDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 22% to $325
million from $266 million for the same prior-year period, primarily driven by
the revenue growth. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 includes
restructuring charges of $8 million.
Outdoor Americas (CBS Outdoor)
Outdoor Americas revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased slightly to
$340 million from $342 million for the same prior-year period, reflecting
lower revenues in Canada as a result of the nonrenewal of the Toronto transit
contract. Revenues in the United States increased 3%, driven by growth in the
U.S. billboards and displays businesses.
Outdoor Americas OIBDA for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased 13% to $94
million from $108 million for the same prior-year period, with the entire
decrease attributable to the negative outcome of a dispute over a billboard
tax that has been imposed on the outdoor advertising industry in Toronto,
including a one-time retroactive payment. Operating income for the fourth
quarter of 2011 includes restructuring charges of $1 million.
Corporate
Corporate expenses before depreciation for the fourth quarter of 2012
increased $16 million to $97 million from the same prior-year period,
reflecting higher stock-based compensation costs associated with the increase
in the Company's stock price, which was partially offset by lower pension and
postretirement benefit costs. These lower costs primarily reflect the benefit
from pre-funding pension plans in 2011 and lower pension-related interest cost
associated with retirees.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Unaudited; in millions)
Segment Operating Income (Loss) Before Depreciation and Amortization ("OIBDA")
and Adjusted OIBDA
The Company presents Segment OIBDA as the primarily measure of profit and loss
for its operating segments in accordance with FASB guidance for segment
reporting.
The following tables set forth the Company's OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA, for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Company defines
OIBDA as net earnings (loss) adjusted to exclude the following line items
presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations: Net earnings (loss)
from discontinued operations; Equity in earnings (loss) of investee companies,
net of tax; Provision for income taxes; Other items, net; Net loss on early
extinguishment of debt; Interest income; Interest expense; and Depreciation
and amortization. The Company defines "Adjusted OIBDA" as OIBDA excluding
impairment and restructuring charges. For each individual operating segment,
Adjusted OIBDA is also known as "Segment OIBDA".
The Company uses Adjusted OIBDA (or Segment OIBDA for each segment), as well
as Adjusted OIBDA margin, to, among other things, evaluate the Company's
operating performance, to value prospective acquisitions and as one of several
components of incentive compensation targets for certain management personnel.
These measures are among the primary measures used by management for planning
and forecasting of future periods, and they are important indicators of the
Company's operational strength and business performance because they provide a
link between profitability and operating cash flow. The Company believes these
measures are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to
view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company's
management, help improve investors' understanding of the Company's operating
performance, and make it easier for investors to compare the Company's results
with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or
tax rates. In addition, these are among the primary measures used externally
by the Company's investors, analysts and industry peers for purposes of
valuation and for the comparison of the Company's operating performance to
other companies in its industry.
Because Adjusted OIBDA is not a measure of performance calculated in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP"), it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for,
net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA,
as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure does not
necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not
necessarily a measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs. As
Adjusted OIBDA excludes certain financial information that is included in net
earnings (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of
this financial information should consider the types of events and
transactions which are excluded. The Company provides the following
reconciliations of Adjusted OIBDA to operating income and net earnings (loss),
the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP. In addition, the
following tables also provide reconciliations of Segment OIBDA for each
segment to such segment's operating income (loss).

Free Cash Flow
The Company defines free cash flow as its net cash flow provided by (used for)
operating activities before operating cash flow from discontinued operations
and less capital expenditures. The Company's calculation of free cash flow
includes capital expenditures because investment in capital expenditures is a
use of cash that is directly related to the Company's operations. The
Company's net cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities is the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important
perspective on the cash available to the Company to service debt, make
strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain its capital assets, satisfy
its tax obligations, and fund ongoing operations and working capital needs. As
a result, free cash flow is a significant measure of the Company's ability to
generate long-term value. It is useful for investors to know whether this
ability is being enhanced or degraded as a result of the Company's operating
performance. The Company believes the presentation of free cash flow is
relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to evaluate the
cash generated from the Company's underlying operations in a manner similar to
the method used by management. Free cash flow is one of several components of
incentive compensation targets for certain management personnel. In addition,
free cash flow is a primary measure used externally by the Company's
investors, analysts and industry peers for purposes of valuation and
comparison of the Company's operating performance to other companies in its
industry.
As free cash flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, free
cash flow should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for,
either net cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities as a measure
of liquidity or net earnings (loss) as a measure of operating performance.
Free cash flow, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, free cash
flow as a measure of liquidity has certain limitations, does not necessarily
represent funds available for discretionary use, and is not necessarily a
measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs. When comparing free
cash flow to net cash flow provided by (used for) operating activities, the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial
information should consider the types of events and transactions that are not
reflected in free cash flow.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's net cash flow
provided by operating activities to free cash flow:

2012 and 2011 Adjusted Results
The following tables reconcile adjusted financial results to the reported
results included in this earnings release. The Company believes that adjusting
its financial results for the impact of these items is relevant and useful for
investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar
to the method used by the Company's management, provides a clearer perspective
on the current underlying performance of the Company, and adjusting each
period's results on the same basis makes it easier to compare the Company's
year-over-year results.
