SILVER SPRING, Md., Feb. 14, 2017
SILVER SPRING, Md., Feb. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Communications, Inc. ("Discovery" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DISCA, DISCB, DISCK) today reported financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016.
"Discovery's diversified set of nonfiction, sports and kids' entertainment brands, and strong strategic positioning continued to drive attractive distribution agreements, helping to deliver solid operating and financial results in 2016," said David Zaslav, President and CEO, Discovery Communications. "As we begin 2017, we will continue to invest in our premier global IP and brands to nourish fans across all screens, all platforms and all services to drive shareholder value and propel our business for years to come amid the rapidly changing media landscape."
Full Year Results
Full year revenues of $6,497 million increased 2% compared to the prior year as 5% growth at U.S. Networks and 1% growth at Education and Other were partially offset by a 2% decline at International Networks, primarily due to the sale of SBS Radio(1) and currency effects. Adjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization ("OIBDA")(2) increased 1% to $2,426 million as 8% growth at U.S. Networks was more than offset by a 12% decline at International Networks, partially due to the sale of SBS Radio and currency effects. Excluding currency effects and the impact of the SBS Radio sale, total Company revenues and Adjusted OIBDA both grew 5%.
Full year net income available to Discovery Communications, Inc. ("DCI Net Income") increased 15% to $1,194 million, primarily due to higher operating results, currency-related transactional gains, a $31 million (or $0.05 per share) after-tax gain from the Group Nine transaction(3), and a decrease in taxes, partially offset by a $59 million (or $0.10 per share) after-tax impairment charge related to the Lionsgate investment(3), losses from equity investees and higher equity-based compensation. Diluted earnings per share(4) increased 24% to $1.96 due to higher DCI Net Income and fewer shares outstanding. Full year Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS")(2), which excludes the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, increased 21% to $2.13. Full year Adjusted EPS excluding currency effects increased 17% and full year Adjusted EPS excluding currency as well as the impact of the Lionsgate impairment and the Group Nine transaction increased 20%.

Full year cash flow from operations increased primarily due to improved operating results and lower cash taxes. Full year free cash flow excluding the impact of currency effects increased 21%. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.
Fourth Quarter Results
Fourth quarter revenues of $1,672 million increased 2% compared to the prior year, as 3% growth at U.S. Networks and slight growth at International Networks were partially offset by a slight decline at Education and Other. Adjusted OIBDA increased 1% to $581 million, as 9% growth at U.S. Networks was largely offset by a 12% decline at International Networks, partially due to currency effects. Excluding currency effects, fourth quarter total Company revenues and Adjusted OIBDA grew 4% and 3%, respectively.
Fourth quarter DCI Net Income increased 39% to $304 million, primarily due to higher operating results, a $31 million (or $0.05 per share) after-tax gain from the Group Nine transaction, and currency-related transactional gains, partially offset by lower equity investees and an increase in taxes. Diluted earnings per share increased 53% to $0.52 due to higher DCI Net Income and fewer shares outstanding. Adjusted EPS increased 47% to $0.56 for the fourth quarter 2016. Fourth quarter Adjusted EPS excluding currency effects increased 34%.
Free cash flow decreased 12% to $527 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 as cash flow from operations decreased to $546 million while capital expenditures declined 30% to $19 million. Fourth quarter cash flow from operations decreased primarily due to higher cash taxes and higher content spend. Fourth quarter free cash flow excluding the impact of currency effects decreased 18%.

Full Year Results
U.S. Networks' revenues for the full year 2016 increased 5% to $3,285 million, driven by 7% distribution growth and 2% advertising growth. Distribution revenue growth was primarily driven by higher rates, partially offset by a slight decline in subscribers. Advertising revenues increased 2% primarily due to higher pricing and inventory management, partially offset by lower delivery.
Operating expenses remained relatively consistent with the prior year, as higher marketing costs were offset by lower personnel costs. Adjusted OIBDA increased 8% to $1,922 million due to higher revenues and flat costs.
Fourth Quarter Results
U.S. Networks' revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 3% to $812 million, driven by 6% distribution growth and 1% advertising growth. Distribution revenue growth was primarily driven by higher rates, partially offset by a slight decline in subscribers. Advertising revenues increased 1% primarily due to higher pricing and inventory management, partially offset by lower delivery.
Operating expenses decreased 3% mainly due to lower content amortization, partially offset by higher marketing and personnel costs. Adjusted OIBDA increased 9% to $447 million due to higher revenues and lower operating expenses.

Full Year Results
International Networks' revenues for the full year decreased 2% to $3,040 million and Adjusted OIBDA decreased 12% to $848 million. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced full year International Networks' revenues and Adjusted OIBDA growth by 6% and 8%, respectively. Excluding currency effects and the impact of the SBS Radio sale, total revenues increased 6%. Distribution revenues, excluding the impact of currency effects, grew 10% mostly due to higher affiliate rates in Europe and Latin America and higher subscribers in Latin America, as well as contributions from Eurosport France(1). Excluding the impact of Eurosport France, distribution revenue on a constant currency basis would have been up 9%. Advertising revenues, excluding the impact of currency effects and the SBS Radio sale, increased 3%, primarily due to higher ratings and volume in Southern Europe and higher pricing, ratings and volume in CEEMEA, partially offset by lower ratings in Northern Europe and lower pricing, volume and ratings in APAC. Other revenues declined 17% excluding currency effects and the SBS Radio sale primarily due to lower Eurosport sub-licensing revenues.
Operating expenses increased 3%, or 9% excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the SBS Radio sale, primarily due to increased sports content and production costs, higher content impairment charges, particularly in Northern Europe, and higher personnel and marketing costs. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the SBS Radio disposition, Adjusted OIBDA decreased 3%, reflecting revenue growth more than offset by higher operating expenses.
Fourth Quarter Results
International Networks' revenues for the fourth quarter increased slightly to $819 million and Adjusted OIBDA decreased 12% to $231 million. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced fourth quarter International Networks' revenues and Adjusted OIBDA growth by 5% and 3%, respectively. Excluding currency effects, total revenues increased 5%. Distribution revenues, excluding the impact of currency effects, grew 10%, mostly due to higher affiliate rates in Latin America and Europe, as well as higher subscribers in Latin America. Advertising revenues, excluding the impact of currency effects, increased 3%, primarily due to higher pricing, ratings and volume in Southern Europe and CEEMEA, partially offset by lower pricing, volume and ratings in APAC. Other revenues declined 15% excluding currency effects primarily due to lower content licensing revenues.
Operating expenses increased 6%, or 12% excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, primarily due to higher content impairment charges, particularly in Northern Europe, increased sports content and production costs, and higher personnel and marketing costs. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, Adjusted OIBDA decreased 9%, reflecting revenue growth more than offset by higher operating expenses.

Full Year Results
Education and Other revenues for the full year 2016 were consistent with the prior year. Adjusted OIBDA decreased primarily due to additional investments in the Education business.
Fourth Quarter Results
Education and Other revenues for the fourth quarter decreased by $2 million primarily due to lower production deliveries at the Studios production business, partially offset by increased revenues at the Education business. Adjusted OIBDA decreased primarily due to additional investments in the Education business.
Corporate and Inter-Segment Eliminations
Adjusted OIBDA for the full year 2016 was relatively consistent with the prior year. Adjusted OIBDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 improved primarily due to lower professional and consulting fees.
STOCK REPURCHASE
During the quarter, the Company, pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program, repurchased 5.6 million shares of its Series C common stock at an average price of $25.20 per share, for a total of $142 million. On November 3, 2016, the Company repurchased 2.2 million Series C convertible preferred shares from Advance/Newhouse Programming Partnership ("ANPP") at $48.47 per share (or $24.24 per share on an as converted to common basis), for a total of $108 million pursuant to the previously announced share repurchase agreement described below between the Company and ANPP. In total, the Company spent $250 million on share repurchases during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Through December 31, 2016, the Company has repurchased a total of 149.8 million shares of Series C common stock and 2.8 million shares of its Series A common stock under its stock repurchase program. In aggregate, including the 33.2 million Series C convertible preferred shares acquired from ANPP and from Advance Programming Holdings, LLC, this represents $8.0 billion of the Company's shares since buyback activity was authorized in 2010, at an average price of $26.49 per share on an adjusted basis(1). Note that the aggregate share numbers have not been adjusted to reflect the stock dividend that was distributed in August 2014.
On May 22, 2014, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement with ANPP to repurchase its shares of the Company's Series C convertible preferred stock, on a quarterly basis, in proportion to the Company's repurchases under its stock repurchase program in a manner that is intended to maintain ANPP's current ownership percentage of the Company. This agreement was amended by letter agreement on August 25, 2014.
FULL YEAR 2017 OUTLOOK(2)
Discovery will provide forward-looking guidance in connection with this full year and quarterly earnings announcement on its earnings conference call and webcast.
|
(1) |
The average repurchase price was calculated by dividing a) the aggregate amount spent on share repurchases since the inception of share repurchases in 2010 ($8.0 billion) by b) the number of shares that would have been repurchased if the Series C Common Stock special dividend paid on August 6, 2014 occurred prior to the inception of share repurchases in 2010. For each common share repurchased prior to August 6, 2014, we assume one additional share of Class C Common Stock was repurchased for no additional consideration. For each Series C convertible preferred share repurchased, we assume each preferred share would have converted into two Series C common shares. |
|
(2) |
Discovery is unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking guidance to GAAP measures as, at this time, Discovery cannot determine the adjustments that would be required, including those related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. |
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") provided in this release, the Company has presented Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted EPS and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, earnings per diluted share and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Please review the supplemental financial schedules beginning on page 12 for reconciliations to GAAP measures.
Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Excluding the Impact of Currency Effects
The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based on financial measures such as revenues and Adjusted OIBDA. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income excluding: (i) mark-to-market equity-based compensation, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) amortization of deferred launch incentives, (iv) restructuring and other charges, (v) certain impairment charges, (vi) gains and losses on business and asset dispositions, and (vii) certain inter-segment eliminations related to production studios.
The Company uses Adjusted OIBDA to assess the operating results and performance of its segments, perform analytical comparisons, identify strategies to improve performance and allocate resources to each segment. The Company believes Adjusted OIBDA is relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of each segment using the same metric management uses. The Company excludes mark-to-market equity-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, certain impairment charges, and gains and losses on business and asset dispositions from the calculation of Adjusted OIBDA due to their volatility. The Company also excludes depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets and deferred launch incentives, as these amounts do not represent cash payments in the current reporting period. Additionally, certain corporate expenses are excluded from segment results to enable executive management to evaluate segment performance based upon the decisions of segment executives. Refer to page 8 for our methodology for calculating growth rates excluding the impact of currency effects.
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS Excluding the Impact of Currency Effects
Adjusted EPS is defined as earnings excluding the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets per diluted share. Note that given the change in conversion ratio for our preferred stock, the preferred shares are now only included in the diluted share count. The Company believes Adjusted EPS is relevant to investors because this metric allows them to evaluate the performance of the Company's operations exclusive of the non-cash amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets that impact the comparability of results from period to period. Refer to page 8 for our methodology for calculating growth rates excluding the impact of currency effects.
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Excluding the Impact of Currency Effects
The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less acquisitions of property and equipment. The Company uses free cash flow as it believes it is an important indicator for management and investors of the Company's liquidity, including its ability to reduce debt, make strategic investments and return capital to stockholders. Refer to page 8 for our methodology for calculating growth rates excluding the impact of currency effects.
Methodology for Calculating Growth Rates Excluding the Impact of Currency Effects
The impact of exchange rates on our business is an important factor in understanding period to period comparisons of our results. For example, our international revenues are favorably impacted as the U.S. dollar weakens relative to other foreign currencies, and unfavorably impacted as the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to other foreign currencies. We believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis ("ex-FX"), in addition to results reported in accordance with GAAP, provides useful information about our operating performance because the presentation ex-FX excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility and highlights our core operating results. The presentation of results on a constant currency basis should be considered in addition to, but not a substitute for, measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
The ex-FX change represents the percentage change on a period-over-period basis adjusted for foreign currency impacts. The ex-FX change is calculated as the difference between the current year amounts translated at a baseline rate (which is based on a spot rate for each of our currencies determined early in the fiscal year as part of our forecasting process) (the "2016 Baseline Rate") and the prior year amounts translated at the same 2016 Baseline Rate. In addition, consistent with the assumption of a constant currency environment, our ex-FX results exclude the impact of our foreign currency hedging activities as well as realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
