MEDIA GENERAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 

Note 1: Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information have been included.
 
On December 19, 2014 (the "Closing Date"), Media General, Inc., now known as MGOC, Inc. (“Old Media General”), and LIN Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LIN Media” or “LIN”) were combined in a business combination transaction (the “LIN Merger”). As a result of the LIN merger, Media General, Inc., formerly known as Mercury New Holdco, Inc. (“New Media General”, "Media General" or the “Company”) became the parent public reporting company of the combined company; LIN Television Corporation (“LIN Television”) became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New Media General; and Old Media General became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of LIN Television and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of New Media General. The merger was accounted for in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and New Media General was the acquirer.
 
References to Media General, we, us, or the Company in this Item 1 that include any period at and before the effectiveness of the LIN Merger shall be deemed to refer to Old Media General as the predecessor registrant to New Media General.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE for financial reporting purposes, the Company considers whether it has the power to direct certain activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and whether it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that would be significant to the VIE.  Assets of consolidated VIE’s can only be used to settle the obligations of that VIE.  As discussed in Note 4, the Company consolidates the results of WXXA, WLAJ, WBDT, WYTV, KTKA, KWBQ, KRWB, and KASY pursuant to the VIE accounting guidance. All the liabilities are non-recourse to the Company, except for certain of the debt, which the Company guarantees. The Company is also the primary beneficiary of the VIE that holds the Supplemental 401(k) Plan’s investments and consolidates the plan accordingly.
 
The Company guarantees all of LIN Television's debt and the debt of its consolidated VIEs. LIN Television guarantees all of the debt of its restricted wholly owned subsidiaries and the debt of its consolidated VIEs. All of the consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries of LIN Television fully and unconditionally guarantee LIN Television's 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and the 6.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Notes") on a joint-and-several basis, subject to customary release provisions.

     In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. As a result the Company expects to reclassify the unamortized balance of the $36 million of debt issuance costs currently included in "Other assets, net" on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet to Long-term debt upon adoption of the guidance in early 2016.

Note 2: Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
LIN Merger
 
As described in Note 1, Old Media General and LIN were combined under New Media General, a newly formed holding company, that was renamed Media General. This combination increased the scale of the combined entity. In connection with the LIN Merger, the Company issued a total of approximately 41,239,715 shares of voting common stock and paid approximately $763 million in cash to the former LIN Media shareholders. The total purchase price of the LIN Merger was approximately $2.4 billion. The LIN Merger was financed using proceeds from the Company and LIN Television’s borrowings under the credit agreement, as defined and more fully described in Note 5.
 
In connection with the LIN Merger, the Company sold WJAR-TV in Providence, RI, WLUK-TV and WCWF-TV in Green Bay-Appleton, WI, certain assets of WTGS-TV in Savannah, GA, WJCL-TV in Savannah, GA, WVTM-TV in Birmingham, AL and WALA-TV in Mobile, AL for approximately $360 million and purchased KXRM-TV and KXTU-LD in Colorado Springs, CO and WTTA-TV in Tampa, FL for approximately $93 million. The assets of the stations sold included goodwill of approximately $84 million.
 
Following the LIN Merger and the divestitures and acquisitions discussed above, the Company now owns or operates 71 stations across 48 markets. The Company also has a digital media portfolio comprised of six digital offerings: LIN Digital, LIN Mobile, Federated Media, Dedicated Media, HYFN, and BiteSize TV.
 
The LIN Merger closed during December 2014. The initial allocated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of LIN (including the acquisitions of the stations in Colorado Springs and Tampa discussed above) was adjusted during the six-months ended June 30, 2015 based on information that became available to management subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments were retroactively applied to the December 31, 2014 balances. The fair value of the consideration paid related to the LIN Merger increased by $1.2 million as well. The initial allocated fair value, including adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2015, is presented below:

Current assets acquired included cash and cash equivalents of $26 million and trade accounts receivable of $166 million.

The amount allocated to definite-lived intangible assets represents the estimated fair values of network affiliations of $497 million, advertiser and publisher relationships of $220 million, $37 million of local marketing agreements (LMA), $16 million of technology and trade names and favorable lease assets of $17 million. These intangible assets will be amortized over their weighted-average estimated remaining useful lives of 15 years for network affiliations, 5-7 years for the advertiser relationships, 20 years for LMA agreements, 5 years for technology and trade names and 10 years for favorable lease assets. Acquired property and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated remaining useful lives.
 
None of the goodwill recognized in connection with the LIN Merger is expected to be tax deductible.
 

6


The initial allocation presented above is based upon management’s preliminary estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Network affiliations and advertiser relationships were valued primarily using an excess earnings income approach. The broadcast licenses represent the estimated fair value of the FCC license using a “Greenfield” income approach. Under this approach, the broadcast license is valued by analyzing the estimated after-tax discounted future cash flows of an average market participant. Property and equipment was primarily valued using a cost approach. Acquired program license rights will be amortized to operating expense over the estimated broadcast period in an amount equal to the relative benefit that is expected to be derived from the airing of the program, or on a straight line basis over the life of the program where the expected useful life is one year or less.
 
The Company incurred $0.9 million and $3.6 million of legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, related to the merger with LIN.


Note 3: Segment Information
 
During 2015, as a result of the LIN Merger discussed in Note 2, the Company began assessing and internally reporting financial information for the broadcast business and the digital business separately. As a result, we now have two reportable operating segments, “Broadcast” and “Digital” that are disclosed separately from our corporate activities. The Broadcast segment includes 71 television stations that are either owned, operated or serviced by the Company in 48 U.S. markets, all of which are engaged principally in the sale of television advertising. The Digital segment includes the operating results of the digital companies (LIN Digital, LIN Mobile, HYFN, Dedicated Media, BiteSize TV, and Federated Media) as well as the business operations related to the television station companion websites. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include costs to operate as a public company and to operate corporate locations.

Note 4: Variable Interest Entities
 
Shield Media Entities
 
Shield Media LLC and Shield Media Lansing LLC, through their respective subsidiaries, WXXA-TV LLC (“WXXA”) and WLAJ-TV LLC (“WLAJ”), have Joint Sales Agreements (“JSA”) and Shared Service Agreements (“SSA”) in place with the Company. Under these agreements the Company provides a variety of operational and administrative services for WXXA and WLAJ (the “Shield Stations”). In return, the Company is paid a JSA fee from the ad sales collected and is also paid an SSA fee for providing the operational services. If, in a given period, expenses incurred by WXXA and/or WLAJ exceed their revenue share and the Shield Stations are not in a position to pay the Company the JSA and/or SSA fees, the Company would be at a loss for the services provided. Under the JSA/SSA agreements, if at any time the Shield Stations default on its loan, the Company, as the guarantor of the Shield Station loans, would be the responsible party. Additionally, the Company has options to acquire the Shield Stations at any time, subject to FCC consent, until the expiration of the applicable JSA. The Company determined that the Shield stations are VIEs and as a result of the JSAs and/or SSAs, it has a variable interest in these entities.
 
Other JSA and SSA Entities
 
Beginning on December 19, 2014, the Company has a JSA and an SSA with WBDT Television, LLC (“WBDT”), a third party licensee for WBDT-TV in the Dayton, OH market. It also has JSAs and SSAs with affiliates of Vaughan Acquisition LLC (“Vaughan”), a third-party licensee for WYTV-TV in the Youngstown, OH market and KTKA-TV in the Topeka, KS market and SSAs with KASY-TV Licensee, LLC (“KASY”), a third-party licensee, for KWBQ-TV in the Santa Fe, NM market, KRWB-TV in the Roswell, NM market and KASY-TV in the Albuquerque, NM market. Under these agreements, the Company provides administrative services to these stations, has an obligation to reimburse certain of the stations' expenses, and is compensated through a performance-based fee structure that provides the Company the benefit of certain returns from the operation of these stations. The company determined that WBDT, Vaughan and KASY are VIEs and as a result of the JSAs and/or SSAs, it has a variable interest in these entities.
 
The Company is the primary beneficiary of the Shield Stations and other JSA and SSA entities described above and therefore, the financial results and financial position of these entities have been consolidated by the Company in accordance with the VIE accounting guidance.

The carrying amounts and classification of the assets and liabilities of the Shield Stations and the other JSA and SSA entities described above, which have been included in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, were as follows:

The December 31, 2014 balances included above were adjusted to reflect the purchase price adjustment discussed in Note 2.

The assets of the Company’s consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIEs and may not be sold, or otherwise disposed of, except for assets sold or replaced with others of like kind or value. At June 30, 2015, the Company has an option to acquire the assets or member's interest of the VIE entities that it may exercise if the FCC attribution rules change to permit the Company to acquire such interest. The option exercise price is of nominal value and significantly less than the carrying value of their tangible and intangible net assets. The options are carried at zero on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, as any value attributable to the options is eliminated in the consolidation of the VIEs. In an order adopted in March 2014, the FCC concluded that JSAs should be “attributable” for purposes of the media ownership rules if they permit a television licensee to sell more than 15% of the commercial inventory of a television station owned by a third party in the same market. Stations with JSAs that would put them in violation of the new rules have until December 19, 2016 to amend or terminate those arrangements, unless they are able to obtain a waiver of such rules. Accordingly, absent further developments, or the grant of waivers, the Company will be required to modify or terminate its existing JSAs no later than December 19, 2016.

In July 2015 the Company received a $9 million dividend from the Shield Stations and these funds became available to settle the obligations of the Company.

Media General Credit Agreement
 
In July 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders to provide the Company with a term loan and access to a revolving credit facility. The funds borrowed under the credit agreement and subsequent amendments (together the "Credit Agreement") have been used by the Company to facilitate acquisitions and mergers. The term loan under the Credit Agreement matures in July 2020 and bears interest at LIBOR (with a floor of 1%) plus a margin of 3%.
 
The Company repaid $100 million and $135 million of principal on the term loan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The early repayments of debt resulted in debt extinguishment costs of $1.8 million and $2.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, due to the accelerated recognition of deferred debt-related items. As of June 30, 2015, there was $1.566 billion outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
 
The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement also includes revolving credit commitments of $150 million. The revolving credit facility matures in October 2019, bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75% and is subject to a 0.5% commitment fee per annum with respect to the undrawn portion of the facility. The Company has $147 million of availability under the revolving credit facility (giving effect to $3 million of letters of credit which have been issued but are undrawn).
 
Shield Media Credit Agreement
 
Shield Media LLC (and its subsidiary WXXA) and Shield Media Lansing LLC (and its subsidiary WLAJ) (collectively, “Shield Media”), companies that control subsidiaries with which the Company has joint sales and shared services arrangements for 2 stations as described in Note 4, entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders, dated July 31, 2013. The term loans outstanding under this agreement mature in July 2018 and bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25%. The Shield Media term loans are guaranteed by the Company and are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company, on a pari passu basis with the Credit Agreement. The Company repaid $0.6 million and $1.2 million of principal on the term loan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

2022 Notes
 
On November 5, 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Media General completed the issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) in connection with the financing of the LIN Merger. The net proceeds from offering of the 2022 Notes were used to repay certain indebtedness of LIN Media in connection with the LIN Merger, including the satisfaction and discharge of LIN Television’s $200 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2018 and the payment of related fees and expenses. The 2022 Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of November 5, 2014 (the “2022 Notes Indenture”). New Media General, as the new direct parent of LIN Television, and certain of the wholly owned subsidiaries of LIN Television provide full and unconditional guarantees to the 2022 Notes, on a senior basis.
 

10


2021 Notes
 
LIN Television’s previously issued 6.375% Senior Notes due 2021 with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $290 million remained outstanding as of the Closing Date (the “2021 Notes”). Following the consummation of the LIN Merger, New Media General, as the new direct parent of LIN Television, and certain of the wholly owned subsidiaries of LIN Television provide full and unconditional guarantees of the 2021 Notes, on a senior basis.

Trading securities held by the Supplemental 401(k) Plan are carried at fair value and are determined by reference to quoted market prices.
 
The fair value of the 2021 Notes was determined by reference to the most recent trading prices. The fair value of all other debt instruments were determined using discounted cash flow analysis' and an estimate of the current borrowing rate.
 
Under the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s trading securities fall under Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets), the 2021 Notes fall under Level 2 (other observable inputs) and the Media General Credit Agreement, 2022 Notes, Shield Media Credit Agreement and the Other Borrowings fall under Level 3 (unobservable inputs).

Note 6: Taxes on Income
 
The effective tax rate was 43.3% in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to 44.5% in the second quarter of 2014 and 69.6% in the first six months of 2015 as compared 42.7% in the equivalent prior-year period.  The high tax rate in both periods was due primarily to the relative dollar amount of merger-related expenses (a significant portion of which will not be deductible) and other permanent book-tax differences, as compared to much lower levels of pre-tax income.  The tax expense in both years was predominantly non-cash due to the Company’s interim net loss for tax purposes and significant net operating loss carryover.  Current tax expense was approximately $1.3 million and $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 respectively and was approximately $1.5 million and $0.3 million in the first six months of 2015, and 2014, respectively; it was attributable to state income taxes.

We have excluded 1.5 million of common shares issuable for share options and restricted shares from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015 because the net loss causes these shares to be anti-dilutive.

Note 8: Retirement and Postretirement Plans
 
The Company has a funded, qualified non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan which covers substantially all Legacy Media General employees hired before 2007 and IBEW Local 45 employees of KRON-TV with benefits which vested prior to 2006, as well as a non-contributory unfunded supplemental executive retirement and ERISA excess plans which supplement the coverage available to certain executives. These retirement plans are frozen.
 
In conjunction with the LIN Merger, the Company assumed liability for an additional defined benefit retirement plan as well as a supplemental retirement plan. Both plans are frozen. The Company is required to make contributions to the supplemental retirement plan for the then eligible employees and certain other employees based on 5% of each participant’s eligible compensation.
 
The Company also has a retiree medical savings account plan which reimburses eligible employees who retire for certain medical expenses. In addition, the Company has an unfunded plan that provides certain health and life insurance benefits to retired employees who were hired prior to 1992.
