Saga Communications, Inc. Reports 2nd Quarter Results

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich., Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Saga Communications, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SGA) today reported that net operating revenue increased 2.6% for the period ending June 30, 2013.  Station operating expense was $23.5 million this quarter compared to $22.0 million for the same period last year.  $851 thousand of the increase was the result of the credits received for music licensing fees during the 2nd quarter of 2012 that are not recurring in 2013.  Station operating expense increased 7.0% compared to the same period last year, but only 3.0% when adjusted for such credits.  Operating income decreased 8.0% to $8.4 million compared to $9.1 million for the same period last year.  Adjusted for the music licensing fee credits, operating income would have increased 1.5%.  Net income for the quarter decreased 6.4% to $4.8 million ($0.84 per fully diluted share) compared to net income of $5.1 million ($0.91 per fully diluted share) for the same period last year. 

Net operating revenue increased 0.8% for the six month period ending June 30, 2013.  Station operating expense increased 2.9% to $45.6 million.  Adjusted for the $851 thousand music licensing credits received in the 2nd quarter of 2012, station operating expense would have increased 0.9%. Operating income decreased 5.8% to $13.3 million compared to $14.1 million for the same period last year.  Adjusted for the music licensing fee credits, operating income would have increased 0.2%.  Net income for the six month period decreased 1.1% to $7.8 million ($1.35 per fully diluted share compared to $1.38 per fully diluted share for the same period last year). 

Capital expenditures in the 2nd quarter of 2013 and 2012 were $1.3 million.  The Company currently expects to spend approximately $5.5 million for capital expenditures during 2013. 

Saga 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 free cash flow, trailing 12 month consolidated EBITDA, and leverage ratio. 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, as a primary measure for incentive based compensation of executives and other members of management and as a measure of financial position.  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 Consolidated and Supplemental Financial Data tables.

Saga is a broadcasting company whose business is devoted to acquiring, developing and operating broadcast properties.  Saga owns or operates broadcast properties in 25 markets, including 61 FM and 30 AM radio stations, 3 state radio networks, 2 farm radio networks, 4 television stations and 4 low-power television stations. For additional information, contact us at (313) 886-7070 or visit our website at www.sagacommunications.com.

The Company requests that all parties that have a question that they would like to submit to the Company to please email the inquiry by 1:00 p.m. EDT on August 6, 2013 to SagaIR@sagacom.com.
