Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On November 8, 2011, we released information regarding results of operations for the quarter and
year-to-date period ended September 30, 2011. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit
99.1.
Certain forward-looking statements related to our businesses are included in this discussion.
Those forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations. Forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Such risks,
trends and uncertainties, which in most instances are beyond our control, include changes in
advertising demand and other economic conditions; consumers’ tastes; newsprint prices; program
costs; labor relations; technological developments; competitive pressures; interest rates;
regulatory rulings; and reliance on third-party vendors for various products and services. The
words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend” and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. You should evaluate our forward-looking statements, which are as of
the date of this filing, with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. We undertake no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date the statements.
