THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Total revenues down 4% year-on-year in ruble terms
- Russian advertising revenues down 4% year-on-year in ruble terms
- Total operating expenses flat year-on-year in ruble terms
- OIBDA of $38.2 million with an OIBDA margin of 35.7%
- Net income of $25.9 million and fully diluted earnings per
share of $0.16
- Net cash position of $55.9 million
THIRD QUARTER OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
- Average combined 4+ audience share in Russia up year-on-year to 13.6%
from 13.2%
- Target audience shares up year-on-year for all three Russian networks
- CTC 6-54 audience share of 13.2% in September was at highest level
since 2006
Anton Kudryashov, Chief Executive Officer of CTC Media, commented: "We continued to outperform the Russian television advertising market in the third quarter, with our Russian advertising sales declining by 4% year-on-year in ruble terms. Video International has estimated that the Russian television advertising market was down 21% year-on-year in the quarter, due to the impact of the ongoing economic crisis on advertising spending levels.
"Our increased investment in programming ahead of the highly competitive fall season proved successful and resulted in higher ratings in the third quarter for all three Russian networks. The CTC Network's target audience share rose to 13.2% in September, which is the highest monthly average since 2006. We were also able to effectively monetize this additional inventory with a sell-out ratio of 97% in the quarter and increased advertising market shares. Furthermore, we reduced our non-programming costs further year-on-year and were therefore able to maintain a flat cost base and deliver a healthy margin for the quarter.
"We have continued to build on these target audience share gains in the
fourth quarter, albeit not at the exceptional levels achieved in the third
quarter. We therefore currently expect that our Russian advertising revenues
will be down by between 4% and 6% year-on-year in ruble terms for the full
year 2009, compared to the estimated television advertising market decline of
over 20%. Furthermore, we still expect our organic costs to be flat
year-on-year for the full year. We have significantly enhanced our
competitive market position in the year to date, but visibility continues to
be limited moving forward and we expect overall market conditions to remain
challenging in 2010."

Total operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were down by 25% year-on-year in US dollar terms. The third quarter results in both 2008 and 2009 included full quarterly contributions from DTV Group in Russia and Channel 31 Group in Kazakhstan, which were both acquired in the first half of 2008.
The reported decline in revenues reflected the underlying weakness in the advertising markets, as well as the year-on-year depreciation of the Company's principal operating currency (the ruble) against the Company's reporting currency (the US dollar). The depreciation had a negative impact of approximately 22% on the Company's ruble-denominated sales. Advertising sales in Russia, which accounted for 95% of total third quarter revenues in both 2009 and 2008, were down 4% year-on-year in the third quarter in ruble terms.
The year-on-year development in advertising revenues for the Russian Television Station Groups once again reflected a sharp decline in the regional Russian advertising markets and was due to the weighting of spending by large advertisers towards national campaigns, resulting in significant decreases in regional advertising rates compared with national rates.
CIS Group revenues were down by 33% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to the year-on-year depreciation of the Kazakh tenge against the US dollar, lower sell-out ratios and decreased audience shares, which were partially offset by increased advertising rates. Channel 31 generated over 90% of CIS Group revenues in the quarter.
Share of Viewing in Target Demographics
Average Audience Shares (%)
Q3 2008 Q2 2009 Q3 2009
CTC Network (all 6-54) 12.0 12.5 12.2
Domashny Network (females 25-60) 2.8 2.9 3.2
DTV Network (all 25-54) 2.1 2.4 2.3
Channel 31 (all 6-54) 16.6 11.7 11.6
Each of the Russian networks delivered higher target audience shares in the third quarter and improvements year-on-year, which reflected a successful beginning to the new Fall season.
The increased ratings for the flagship CTC Network reflected the successful launch of the new Fall season programming. The target audience share in September averaged 13.2%, which was the highest monthly average since 2006. Major audience share drivers included the new seasons of the 'Daddy's Girls' sitcom and 'Ranetki' series, as well as the premier season of the'Margosha' series, which is based on the Argentine 'LaLola' format. All of these prime-time shows were produced in-house and gained audience shares above the average audience share for the channel. The broader programming schedule that included a number of locally produced premier shows and infotainment programs also supported the positive viewing share development.
Domashny's audience share also increased year-on-year from 2.8% to 3.2% due to the continued strong performance of re-runs of CTC hit series 'Born Not Pretty', which was supported by a successful line-up of movies and documentaries and enhanced weekend programming. The recently launched new season of 'Desperate Housewives' is also gradually increasing its share of viewing.
DTV has been focused on the 25-54 year-old target group since January 2009 and increased its viewing share in the third quarter following the continued success of locally produced 'Marital Fiction', as well as the late prime-time slots for Russian and foreign criminal investigation and action series. DTV continues to work on refining its channel positioning and introduced a number of locally produced short cycles of programs in various genres oriented towards the target demographic.
Channel 31 maintained its position as the second-most watched broadcaster in Kazakhstan in the third quarter, with a well-balanced mix of CTC-branded, international and locally produced Kazakh content.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were down 22% year-on-year in US dollar terms and included full quarterly contributions from DTV Group and Channel 31 Group in both 2008 and 2009. The reported decrease in expenses reflected the year-on-year depreciation of the Company's ruble and other operating currencies against the US dollar reporting currency while, in ruble terms, total operating expenditure was flat year-on-year.
Direct operating expenses were down 24% year-on-year in the third quarter in US dollar terms, while selling, general and administrative expenses were down 38%. Stock-based compensation expenses, most of which were allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses, were down year-on-year to $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $5.2 million in the same period of 2008.
Programming expenses decreased by 11% year-on-year and represented 39.8% of revenues, up from 33.5% in the third quarter of 2008. The year-on-year increase in programming costs as a percentage of revenue reflected a decreased top-line and a relatively more expensive programming mix in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008, which were partially offset by the effect of changes in certain content amortization rates from the beginning of 2009. Increased investment in programming was connected with the launch of the Fall season schedule, including new episodes of successful in-house produced series and sitcoms on the CTC Network, new local entertainment and infotainment shows and programs, and top quality international movies.
The amortization rates for certain types of Russian-produced programming were changed with effect from the beginning of 2009, in order better to reflect expected revenue generation patterns. These changes in the amortization policy resulted in a decrease in amortization expenses of $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the impact of these amortization policy changes, programming expenses were down 10% year-on-year in the third quarter in US dollar terms.
The 59% year-on-year decline in sublicensing and own production costs primarily reflected the lower cost of in-house produced series and sitcoms that were sold to third-party broadcasters in Ukraine. The decrease in costs was mainly due to the depreciation of the Russian ruble against the US dollar.
Consolidated OIBDA was therefore lower year-on-year at $38.2 million (Q3 2008: $55.0 million) and the OIBDA margin declined to 35.7% (Q3 2008: 38.4%).
Group depreciation and amortization charges decreased by 27.6% year-on-year to $2.9 million (Q3 2008: $3.9 million) in the third quarter, and consolidated operating income totaled $35.3 million (Q3 2008: $51.1 million).
The net interest expenses were down year-on-year by 85.7% to $0.6 million in the quarter (Q3 2008: $4.0 million) primarily due to partial repayments of principal amount of the Company's syndicated loan in December 2008 and June 2009.
The Company's pre-tax income amounted to $35.2 million (Q3 2008: $34.2 million) in the quarter. The effective tax rate decreased year-on-year in the third quarter to 26% (Q3 2008: 36%) mainly due to the decrease in statutory income tax rates in Russia (from 24% to 20%) and Kazakhstan (from 30% to 20%) from the beginning of 2009.
Consolidated net income attributable to CTC Media, Inc. stockholders therefore totaled $25.9 million (Q3 2008: $21.0 million) in the third quarter and fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.16 (Q3 2008: $0.13).
Cash Flow
The Company's net cash flow from operations totaled $75.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 (first nine months of 2008: $94.1 million) and reflected the net effect of lower advertising sales and lower spending for programming and sublicensing rights in the first half of 2009.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $23.9 million during the first nine months of 2009 (first nine months of 2008: $411.5 million) and included $11.0 million in payments related to the acquisitions of Costafilm and Soho Media, as well as purchases of equipment and software for the Company's new digital broadcasting center in Moscow. The investments in the first nine months of 2008 included the acquisition of DTV Group in Russia, Channel 31 Group in Kazakhstan, the Costafilm and Soho Media production companies in Russia, and a number of local owned-and-operated stations in Russia.
Cash used for financing activities amounted to $36.5 million for the first nine months of the year (first nine months of 2008: $55.5 million). This included a $33.8 million part repayment of a syndicated loan, which the Company drew down in July 2008 in order to finance the acquisition of DTV Group.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $112.6 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $98.1 million at the end of 2008 and $54.3 million at September 30, 2008.
Borrowings
The Company's total borrowings and accrued interest amounted to $56.7 million (September 30, 2008: $124.6 million) at the end of the reporting period, compared to $90.6 million at the end of 2008. The Company therefore had a net cash position, which is defined as cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing liabilities, of $55.9 million (September 30, 2008: net debt of $70.3 million) at the end of the reporting period, compared to a net cash position of $7.5 million at the end of 2008.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: OIBDA (on a consolidated and segment basis) and OIBDA margin. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the accompanying financial tables included at the end of this release.
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results, meaning its operating performance excluding certain non-cash charges. These metrics are used by management to further its understanding of the Company's operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. The Company also believes that these metrics provide investors and equity analysts with a useful basis for analyzing operating performance against historical data and the results of comparable companies.
OIBDA and OIBDA margin. OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization (exclusive of amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by total operating revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP measures to OIBDA and OIBDA margin are operating income and operating income margin, respectively. Unlike operating income, OIBDA excludes depreciation and amortization, other than amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights. The purchase of programming rights is the Company's most significant expenditure that enables it to generate revenues, and OIBDA includes the impact of the amortization of these rights. Expenditures for capital items such as property, plant and equipment have a materially less significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues. For this reason, the Company excludes the related depreciation expense for these items from OIBDA. Moreover, a significant portion of its intangible assets were acquired in business acquisitions. The amortization of intangible assets is therefore also excluded from OIBDA.

---------------------------------
(1) OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization (excluding the amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by total operating revenues. Both OIBDA and OIBDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the accompanying financial tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income and OIBDA margin to operating margin.
(1) Segment revenues are shown from external customers only, net of intercompany revenues of $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2008, $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2009, $28.6 million in the first nine months of 2008, and $36.7 million in the first nine months of 2009, most of which related to revenues from the Production Group that have been eliminated in the consolidation of the Company's revenues.
