NEW YORK, Nov. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMC Networks Inc. ("AMC Networks" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AMCX) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Chief Executive Officer Kristin Dolan said: "During this period of experimentation and change in our industry, we continue to execute on our plan and effectively manage the business with a focus on high-quality programming, strong partnerships and profitability. In addition to introducing an ad-supported version of AMC+, we extended our leadership in TV advertising through the launch of programmatic buying on our linear networks, an industry first. Partnership examples included a promotional pop-up on Max and strong presence on the new Xumo offering from Comcast and Charter. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was the biggest ever debut for AMC+, one of many programming highlights in the quarter. We are well-positioned to achieve our free cash flow goals for the year and remain focused on responsible content investment and monetization across a wide array of distribution platforms and licensing opportunities."

Operational Highlights:

Launched ad-supported version of AMC+, bringing ads to the Company's entire distribution ecosystem and enhancing future bundling opportunities.
Enabled programmatic ad buying on linear networks, a major industry first that boosts the value and relevance of linear advertising and follows the company's pioneering work in addressable advertising.
Worked with Warner Bros. Discovery to add seven of AMC Networks' high-quality series to the Max platform as a limited promotional pop-up at no additional cost to Max subscribers.
- Increased exposure drove viewership increases on AMC+ across important franchises including Fear the Walking Dead, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire and Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches.
Completed a multi-year renewal with recently-merged Rogers-Shaw, the largest cable provider in Canada, for continued carriage of AMC.
Renewed acclaimed drama Dark Winds, which achieved 100-point scores on Rotten Tomatoes for its first two seasons on AMC and AMC+.
Premiered The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, the #1 most viewed premiere in the history of AMC+ and the most watched season of any new show ever on the platform.
WE tv successfully launched new series Toya & Reginae, which gained viewers week to week and continues to perform remarkably well across sister-streamer ALLBLK.
Hit series Harry Wild, starring Jane Seymour, recently returned for a second season on Acorn TV.

Financial Highlights – Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2023:

Net cash provided by operating activities of $106 million; Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾ of $99 million, reflecting expense savings and improved working capital management.
Operating income of $121 million; Adjusted Operating Income⁽¹⁾ of $177 million decreased 9% from the prior year. Adjusted Operating Income margin of 28% was consistent with the prior year period. Adjusted Operating Income benefited from continued cost management measures.
Net revenues of $637 million decreased 7% from the prior year, largely driven by lower domestic advertising revenues and affiliate revenues, partly offset by streaming revenue growth.
Streaming revenues of $142 million increased 9% from the prior year, primarily driven by year-over-year streaming subscriber growth and our continued focus on higher value subscribers.
Diluted EPS of $1.44; Adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ of $1.85.

Domestic Operations

Third Quarter Results:

Domestic Operations revenues decreased 8% from the prior year to $541 million.
- Distribution and other revenues decreased 3% to $394 million.
  - Content licensing revenues increased 7% to $62 million due to the timing and availability of deliveries in the period.
  - Subscription revenues decreased 5% to $332 million due to declines in the linear subscriber universe, partially offset by streaming revenue growth.
    - Streaming revenues increased 9% to $142 million, primarily driven by year-over-year streaming subscriber growth and our continued focus on higher value subscribers.
      - Streaming subscribers increased 4% to 11.1 million as compared to 10.7 million subscribers in the prior year period. As compared to 2Q'23 subscribers of 11.0 million, third quarter subscribers sequentially increased 1%.
    - Affiliate revenue decreased 13% due to basic subscriber declines including the 3% revenue impact of a strategic non-renewal that occurred at the end of 2022.
- Advertising revenues decreased 18% to $147 million due to anticipated linear ratings declines, a challenging ad market and fewer original programming episodes within the quarter, partly offset by digital and advanced advertising revenue growth.
Operating income decreased 13% to $162 million.
Adjusted Operating Income decreased 10% to $185 million, with a margin of 34%. The decrease in Adjusted Operating Income was primarily attributable to a decrease in advertising and affiliate revenues, partly offset by increased streaming revenues and continued cost management measures.

International and Other

Third Quarter Results:

International and Other revenues decreased 2% from the prior year to $98 million.
- Distribution and other revenues decreased 4% to $78 million, primarily due to lower production volumes at 25/7 Media, partially offset by higher subscription revenues at AMCNI.
  - Subscription revenues increased 6% to $56 million, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation at AMCNI.
  - Content licensing and other revenues decreased 24% to $22 million due to a reduction in the volume of productions at 25/7 Media.
- Advertising revenues increased 11% to $19 million, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and digital and advanced advertising growth in the U.K.
Operating income decreased 4% to $8 million.
Adjusted Operating Income decreased 2% to $13 million, with a margin of 13%. The decrease in Adjusted Operating Income was primarily attributable to an increase in SG&A expense, partially offset by an increase in subscription revenue at AMCNI.

Other Matters

Full Redemption of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2024

The Company announced today that it has given notice of its intention to redeem the remaining $400 million outstanding principal amount of its 5.00% Senior Notes due 2024 (CUSIP Number 00164V AD5) (the "Notes") on December 12, 2023 (the "Redemption Date"). The Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

AMC Networks has instructed U.S. Bank National Association, as the trustee for the Notes (the "Trustee"), to distribute a notice of redemption to all registered holders of the Notes on November 3, 2023.

Restructuring and Other Related Charges

On November 28, 2022, the Company commenced a restructuring plan designed to achieve significant cost reductions in light of "cord cutting" and the related impacts being felt across the media industry as well as the broader economic outlook. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company substantially completed the plan and exited a portion of its office space in its corporate headquarters in New York and office space in Silver Spring, Maryland and Woodland Hills, California. In connection with exiting a portion of the New York office, the Company recorded impairment charges of $11.6 million, consisting of $9.1 million for operating lease right-of use assets and $2.5 million for leasehold improvements.

Stock Repurchase Program & Outstanding Shares

As previously disclosed, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. The Stock Repurchase Program has no pre-established closing date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $135 million of authorization remaining for repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Program.

As of October 27, 2023, the Company had 32,073,020 shares of Class A Common Stock and 11,484,408 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

Please see the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023, which will be filed later today, for further details regarding the above matters.

Description of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before share-based compensation expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses), restructuring and other related charges, cloud computing amortization, and including the Company's proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority-owned equity method investees. From time to time, we may exclude the impact of certain events, gains, losses, or other charges (such as significant legal settlements) from AOI that affect our operating performance. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of the business without regard to the effect of the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash.

The Company believes that Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts, and peers to compare performance in the industry.

Internally, the Company uses net revenues and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) measures as the most important indicators of its business performance and evaluates management's effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Since Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), please see page 8-9 of this release.

The Company defines Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, all of which are reported in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure of its liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful as an indicator of its overall liquidity, as the amount of Free Cash Flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment, investment, and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. The Company also believes that Free Cash Flow is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its liquidity with other companies in the industry, although the Company's measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, please see page 11 of this release.

The Company defines Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS"), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings per diluted share excluding the following items: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; impairment and other charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses); non-cash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; restructuring and other related charges; and the impact associated with the modification of debt arrangements, including gains and losses related to the extinguishment of debt; as well as the impact of taxes on the aforementioned items. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure is earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that Adjusted EPS is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its performance with other companies in the industry, although the Company's measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of earnings per diluted share to Adjusted EPS, please see page 12-13 of this release.
