MILWAUKEE -- March 7, 2013
Journal Communications, Inc. (NYSE:JRN) today announced results for its fourth
quarter and full year ended December 30, 2012. All reported results below were
impacted by an extra week in 2012 compared to 2011. Note that the fourth
quarter of 2012 included 14 weeks and the full year 2012 included 53 weeks,
versus 13 weeks and 52 weeks in the corresponding prior periods.
“Journal Communications posted excellent results in the fourth quarter with
consolidated revenue of $124.5 million, up 31%, led by record political
spending in the Broadcast group” said Steven J. Smith, Chairman and CEO of
Journal Communications. “In addition to the record political advertising
revenue in 2012, we saw core advertising growth in television and radio and
moderating revenue declines in Publishing. For the full year, consolidated
revenue was $400.0 million, up 12% over 2011."
“2012 was an important year strategically as well. We closed on the purchase
of NewsChannel 5, an exceptional TV station in Nashville and reached an
agreement to purchase WNOX-FM, which will add to our successful Knoxville
radio cluster. We also bought WACY-TV in Appleton, Wisconsin, strengthening
our duopoly in the Green Bay market. Finally, we successfully repurchased all
of our class C common shares and amended and extended our credit facility.”
“Our team should be congratulated on a very productive year as they advanced
the Journal brand and prepared our local markets for continued success.”

million, an increase of 70.6% driven by higher operating earnings.
Year-to-date capital expenditures were $12.7 million compared to $10.7
million.

revenue declines in the low-single digits.

If you thought Nacho Cheese Doritos® Locos Tacos (DLT) were awesome, then Cool
Ranch DLTs just may be epic. Thanks to fans of Taco Bell® and Doritos Cool
Ranch flavored chips, the upcoming arrival of Cool Ranch DLT has been more
“liked,” “shared” and talked about by consumers than any other Taco Bell
product in its history. And today, Thursday, March 7, Taco Bell announces that
Cool Ranch DLT reaches restaurants nationwide.
Taco Bell CEO Greg Creed underlined the excitement and momentum of the new
product: “We have heard the pleas for Cool Ranch DLT and we're thrilled to see
our fans responses on Facebook, Twitter and Vine to our announcement of the
launch date – sharing comments like ‘we will camp out’ and ‘my wish came
true,’” said Creed. “This will be Taco Bell's biggest product launch of 2013!”
Taco Bell plans to support the Cool Ranch DLT launch with its largest
marketing campaign in history, topping that of the original Nacho Cheese DLT.
The company plans on an integrated marketing and consumer engagement effort
that includes advertising (television, radio, outdoor, digital and cinema), as
well as social and public relations support.
Taco Bell’s Largest Product Marketing To Date
The early marketing of Cool Ranch DLT was centered on helping insiders and
social fanatics Live Más, by providing unique opportunities to try the new
flavor first. Over the last three weeks, Taco Bell has given select fans a
sneak peek at the new taco, holding password-only events in New York, Dallas
and Los Angeles. The speakeasy-like insider trials rewarded fans that had been
clamoring for the flavor for a year, since the original – Nacho Cheese DLT –
hit, selling more than 350 million and becoming the most successful product
launch in the 51-year history of the brand.
Taco Bell also listened to real-time social conversations and rewarded
passionate fans asking for Cool Ranch DLT daily by providing “epic deliveries”
to give them an early taste. A few examples included: a New York delivery to a
woman who asked Taco Bell to be her Valentine; in Minneapolis, a university
student brought together enough friends and family to finish 1,000 Cool Ranch
DLTs; and, in Seattle, a YouTube personality got a surprise delivery of Cool
Ranch DLTs after an exchange on Twitter with Taco Bell and her posting a
special request video on her channel. All fans can join in the conversation by
tweeting @TacoBell using #CoolRanchDLT and staying tuned to
youtube.com/tacobell.
Continuing to look to consumers to help tell the Taco Bell story, the TV ads
were also inspired by fans’ responses to DLT and demand for a Cool Ranch
version. One 30-second launch spot, titled “World’s Most Obvious Idea,”
illustrates everyday consumer reactions to Nacho Cheese DLT, saying “they
should make a Cool Ranch one.” Two 15-second spots – titled “Wow” and “Duh”
feature the reaction of fans and celebrities as they get their hands on the
new taco for the first time. These fans include all-pro basketball player
Kevin Love, lifecaster/web host iJustine (Justine Izarik), online
actor/comedian/musician Shane Dawson and comedian/vlogger/gamer Toby Turner.
The “World’s Most Obvious Idea” and “Wow” versus “Duh” ads were created by
Deutsch, Los Angeles and, DraftFCB, respectively. Taco Bell will support the
Cool Ranch DLT launch and sustain efforts with several other ads, which can be
seen at youtube.com/tacobell as they become available.
In addition, on all Cool Ranch DLT wrappers, cups and $5 Big Boxes, Taco Bell
will be inviting fans to post to Instagram or Tweet their best #wow or #duh
face – using those specific hashtags, followed by #CoolRanchDLT – for the
chance to see their photo reactions on a big screen billboard in Times Square.
