SEATTLE, WA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/05/09 -- Fisher Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSCI) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
2009 Third Quarter Summary
-- Net loss per diluted share was $0.46, compared to net income per
diluted share of $3.41 in the third quarter of 2008. These results
included a $2.6 million after-tax loss related to the Fisher Plaza fire
in the third quarter of 2009 and a $31.8 million after-tax gain on
Safeco shares during the third quarter of 2008.
-- Net revenue decreased 18% to $34.5 million, compared to $42.3 million
in the third quarter of 2008.
-- Television revenue decreased 8% in the third quarter of 2009 compared
with the same period last year, reflecting continued weakness in
advertising during the quarter due to the challenging macro-economic
environment and a $4.2 million decline in political spending compared
to the third quarter of 2008, partially offset by a 466% increase in
retransmission revenue. Net advertising revenue decreased 25% in the
third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period last year.
- Key advertising categories continued to experience significant
declines from the third quarter of 2008, including automotive
(down 31%), retail (down 26%), and professional services (down
4%).
- Internet advertising revenue increased 3% to $489,000, compared
to $474,000 in the third quarter of 2008.
- Television operating expenses decreased 3%, from $25.2 million in
the third quarter of 2008, to $24.5 million in the third quarter
of 2009, reflecting the benefit of cost-saving measures
implemented in 2009, which included reductions in workforce
across the Company and the suspension of the Company's 401(k)
match.
- The Company and American Broadcasting Company, Inc. agreed to
terms for a 5-year renewal of the network affiliation between the
ABC Television Network and the Company's television stations,
KOMO-TV in Seattle, Washington and KATU-TV in Portland, Oregon,
effective September 1, 2009.
- The Company signed an agreement for its Pocatello, Idaho
television station KXPI, to broadcast programming from
MyNetworkTV in the Idaho Falls-Pocatello television market.
-- Radio revenue decreased 49% in the third quarter compared to the third
quarter of 2008. Excluding the financial impact of the Seattle Mariners
broadcast contract in 2008, radio revenue declined 21% over the same
period.
-- The Company began aggressively implementing its "broadcast to broadband
initiative." Fisher launched a network of 44 hyperlocal neighborhood
Web sites in the Seattle market, increasing local content offerings,
including KOMO-TV's valuable content, and expanding advertising
opportunities for local businesses.
Fisher Plaza Electrical Fire
On July 2, 2009, an electrical fire contained within a garage level equipment room of the east building of Fisher Plaza disrupted city-supplied electrical service to that building. A third-party investigation concluded that the fire appears to have been caused by a malfunction of bus duct equipment manufactured by a third party. The Company currently expects that all final repairs and equipment replacement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The Company has incurred approximately $6.8 million in remediation and equipment replacement costs related to the Plaza fire, comprised of remediation expenses of $3.2 million, capital expenditures of $2.1 million and the loss on fixed assets destroyed by the fire of $1.5 million. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company is recording the Plaza fire expenses as incurred and is recording insurance reimbursements within operating results in the period the reimbursements are considered probable and certain. Insurance reimbursements of approximately $725,000 were recorded in the third quarter of 2009.
The Company currently anticipates recording approximately $1 to $2 million of additional remediation expenses and approximately $2 to $3 million of additional capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2009 related to the Plaza fire.
The Company's insurers have indicated that the event is a covered occurrence under the applicable insurance policies, and they continue to investigate the incident. The Company currently expects that a significant portion of its incurred costs will be covered by its insurance policies; however, the actual amount and timing of the reimbursement remains subject to the insurance companies' investigation. The Company intends to vigorously assert all of its claims related to the Plaza fire as necessary.
Retransmission
The Company and several of its cable distribution partners executed final retransmission consent agreements in the third quarter of 2009. The periods covered by these agreements began on January 1, 2009. Accordingly, the Company's third quarter financial results include approximately $2.0 million of cable retransmission fees attributable to those contracts for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2009. Excluding the $2.0 million of retransmission revenue attributable to the first half of 2009, total retransmission revenue increased $1.5 million, or 197%, from the third quarter of 2008.
Commentary on the Third Quarter
Fisher President and Chief Executive Officer Colleen B. Brown said, "Despite the unprecedented challenges facing our advertising partners and the direct effect it is having on our near-term performance, we remain confident in our business. We expect that the proactive steps we are taking to improve our operational and financial performance will allow Fisher to emerge a stronger media company once the economic recovery takes hold. Our strategic focus on increasing market share, expanding content offerings, aggressively fighting for every advertising dollar and maintaining a disciplined approach to cost management will allow us to better serve our viewers and create long-term value for our shareholders and business partners.
"A key element to our future success is positioning the Company to take full advantage of the opportunities that are being created by the proliferation of new technologies. Through our broadcast to broadband initiative, we are leveraging our inherent broadcast strengths to deliver new and exciting content to consumers through a variety of platforms. The launch of our hyperlocal Web sites enables users to access community news and information in an easy-to-use fashion, as well as provides local advertisers with a cost-effective way to reach their target audience. While this initiative is still in its infancy, we anticipate that it will play an important role in the Company's future."
Third Quarter Results
Consolidated Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $34.5 million, compared to revenue of $42.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 18%. In addition to the effects of the macro-economic environment discussed above, as anticipated, a significant portion of the decline is attributable to the fact that 2009 is a non-political year and the Company did not renew its Seattle Mariners broadcast contract in 2008.
Loss from operations was $3.6 million for the quarter, compared with a loss from operations of $613,000 during the same period in 2008. The decline is related to the losses incurred due to the Plaza fire, as discussed above. Net loss for the third quarter was $4.0 million, or $0.46 per share, compared to net income of $29.8 million or $3.41 per share in the third quarter of 2008. Net loss in the third quarter of 2009 included an after-tax loss related to the Plaza fire of $2.6 million. Excluding the after-tax loss, net loss in the third quarter of 2009 was $1.4 million, or $0.16 per share. Net income in the third quarter of 2008 included an after-tax gain on the sale of the remaining shares of Safeco Corporation of $31.8 million. Excluding the after-tax gain, net loss in the third quarter of 2008 was $2.1 million, or $0.24 per share. EBITDA totaled $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2008.
Television Results
For the third quarter of 2009, the television segment reported revenue of $25.1 million, an 8% decrease from the $27.3 million generated in the comparable period of 2008. The decline was attributable to lower local, national, and political advertising revenue at a majority of our stations, partially offset by a 466% increase in retransmission revenue. Fisher recorded $4.2 million in total retransmission consent revenue in the third quarter. Approximately $2.0 million of this amount was for retransmission fees attributable to the first half of 2009 for contracts executed in the third quarter covering periods beginning on January 1, 2009.
TV BCF was $3.6 million, compared with $5.6 million in the same period of 2008, a decrease of 37%. The decrease in BCF was solely attributable to revenue declines.
During the third quarter, the television segment recorded $530,000 of net political revenue, compared to $4.8 million during the same period last year, a decrease of 89%.
Radio Results
For the third quarter of 2009, the radio segment reported revenue of $6.0 million, a decrease of 49% from the $11.7 million earned in the comparable period of 2008. The decrease in revenue was more than offset by lower expenses, attributable largely to the absence of the Seattle Mariners broadcast contract in the third quarter of 2009. Radio BCF was $1.2 million, compared with a negative BCF of $237,000 in the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the Mariners contract, BCF decreased 48% from $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, a result of a 21% decline in non-Mariners revenue partially offset by a 9% reduction in non-Mariners expenses.
Fisher Plaza Results
For the third quarter of 2009, the Plaza segment reported revenue of $3.5 million, a 5% increase from the third quarter of 2008. Loss from operations was $2.1 million, a decrease of $3.6 million or 247% from the $1.4 million income from operations in the same period in 2008. The decrease was a result of the $4.0 million in Plaza fire expenses, net related to the July 2, 2009 electrical fire. Excluding those expenses, income from operations was $1.8 million, an increase of $392,000, or 27%, from the same period in 2008.
Plaza occupancy was 96% at the end of the third quarter of 2009, compared to 97% at the end of the third quarter of 2008. The slight decrease was attributable to a change in classification of approximately 4,400 square feet formerly occupied by Fisher, which is currently vacant and available for lease.
Key Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Items
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $49.5 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $91.5 million at December 31, 2008. The reduction was due to the Company's repurchase of $28 million in principal amount of its senior notes for total consideration of $24.4 million in cash, capital expenditures of $8.7 million, and cash used in operations of $9.1 million.
In the third quarter, the Company used cash in the amount of $2.5 million for the remediation of the Fisher Plaza electrical fire, including $371,000 for capital expenditures and $2.1 million in other remediation expenses. As discussed above, reimbursement for a significant portion of our expenditures related to the Plaza fire remains subject to the resolution of our pending insurance claims.
Total debt outstanding was $122.1 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $150.0 million at December 31, 2008. The Company's Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio, as defined in the Company's senior notes indenture, was 9.5 as of September 30, 2009 compared to 5.3 as of December 31, 2008.

Definitions and Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company reports and discusses its operating results using financial measures consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and believes this should be the primary basis for evaluating its performance.
The preceding discussion of our results includes a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures such as Broadcast Cash Flow (BCF), Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted Net Loss. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives or substitutes for GAAP reporting.
The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because they are used by lenders to measure the Company's ability to service debt; by industry analysts to determine the market value of stations and their operating performance; and by management to identify the cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain capital assets and fund ongoing operations and working capital needs; and, because they reflect the most up-to-date operating results of the stations inclusive of pending acquisitions, time brokerage agreements or local marketing agreements. Management believes they also provide an additional basis from which investors can establish forecasts and valuations for the Company's business.
Television and radio BCF is calculated as income (loss) from the segment operations plus amortization of program rights, depreciation and amortization, non-cash charges, Internet and corporate expenses minus payments for broadcast rights, amortization of non-cash benefit resulting from a change in national advertising representation firm and non-convergence Internet revenue.
EBITDA is calculated as income from operations plus amortization of program rights, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, Plaza fire expenses and non-cash charges minus payments for broadcast rights and amortization of non-cash benefit resulting from a change in national advertising representation firm.
Adjusted Net Loss is calculated as net income (loss) plus after-tax loss from the Plaza fire and after-tax gain on the sale of Safeco Shares.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measurements to the GAAP financial results cited in this news announcement, please see the supplemental tables at the end of this release.
