TORONTO, July 10, 2014 /CNW/ - Corus Entertainment Inc. (TSX: CJR.B) announced its third quarter financial results today.
"In the third quarter, the Company delivered impressive double-digit revenue and segment profit growth fueled by our newly acquired television and radio assets," said John Cassaday, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corus Entertainment. "While we experienced continued softness in the ad markets, we are encouraged by the ratings strength of our flagship networks W and YTV, which have maintained a leadership position with their core audiences, as well as the strong ratings gains from our family brands CMT and ABC Spark. The strength of our recent acquisitions, combined with our core business, continue to drive shareholder value with strong free cash flow and adjusted earnings per share growth for the Company."

Consolidated Results from Operations
For fiscal 2014, the operating results of TELETOON Canada Inc. ("TELETOON"), as well as its assets and liabilities, have been fully consolidated effective September 1, 2013 as a consequence of meeting the definition of control under IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, a business combination had occurred in accordance with IFRS 3 – Business Combinations and as a result, TELETOON must be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. On December 20, 2013, the Company received Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") approval to complete the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in TELETOON that it did not already own, as well as the acquisition of Historia and Séries+, s.e.n.c. ("H&S"). These acquisitions closed on January 1, 2014. On January 24, 2014, the CRTC approved the Company's acquisition of the Ottawa-based radio stations (CKQB-FM and CJOT-FM) and the transaction closed on January 31, 2014. As a result of these business combinations, the Company's consolidated results for fiscal 2014 reflect 100% interest in TELETOON effective September 1, 2013, 100% interest in H&S effective January 1, 2014, and 100% interest in the two Ottawa-based radio stations effective January 31, 2014 (refer to note 17 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on all acquisitions).
For fiscal 2013, as a result of retroactive application of IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, the Company is no longer permitted to proportionately consolidate its 50% equity interest in the operations of TELETOON up to August 31, 2013 (i.e. prior to the business combination on September 1, 2013) and is required to account for its investment using the equity method of accounting. As a consequence, the Television revenues and segment profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were reduced by $13.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively and instead, Corus' share of TELETOON's net income of $2.3 million was reported as Other expense (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. For the nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Television revenues and segment profit were reduced by $40.3 million and $15.5 million, respectively, and Corus' share of TELETOON's net income of $11.0 million was reported as Other expense (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The restatement did not change reported net income for fiscal 2013.
Consolidated revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2014 were $214.0 million, up 14% from $187.1 million last year. Consolidated segment profit was $79.7 million, up 23% from $64.6 million last year. Net loss attributable to shareholders for the quarter was $30.3 million ($0.36 basic and diluted per share), compared to net income of $89.9 million ($1.07 basic and diluted per share) last year. Net income attributable to shareholders for the third quarter includes radio broadcast license and goodwill impairment charges of $75.0 million, capital asset impairment charges of $1.2 million, business acquisition, integration and restructuring costs of $0.6 million and a decrease in the purchase price obligation of $2.0 million related to the acquisition of control of TELETOON. Removing the impact of these items results in an adjusted net income of $41.6 million ($0.49 per share) in the quarter. Net income attributable to shareholders for the prior year quarter includes a gain related to the sale of the Company's non-controlling interest in Food Network Canada of $55.4 million. Removing the impact of this item results in an adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of $34.5 million ($0.41 per share) in the prior year quarter.
Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 were $631.5 million, up 11% from $569.6 million last year. Consolidated segment profit was $231.3 million, up 16% from $200.0 million last year. Net income attributable to shareholders for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 was $126.7 million ($1.49 per share both basic and diluted) compared to $148.0 million ($1.77 per share basic and $1.76 per share diluted) last year. Net income attributable to shareholders for the nine months ended May 31, 2014 includes a non-cash gain of $127.9 million resulting from the remeasurement to fair value of the Company's 50% interest in TELETOON which was held prior to consolidation on September 1, 2013, radio broadcast license and goodwill impairment charges of $83.0 million, capital asset impairment charges of $1.2 million, business acquisition, integration and restructuring costs of $41.2 million, an increase in the purchase price obligation of $3.3 million and investment impairment related charges of $3.3 million. Removing the impact of these items results in an adjusted net income of $123.6 million ($1.46 per share) for the current year-to-date. Prior year-to-date net income includes a pre-tax charge for debt refinancing of $25.0 million and a gain related to the sale of the Company's non-controlling interest in Food Network Canada of $55.4 million. Removing the impact of these items results in an adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of $111.1 million ($1.33 per share) in the prior year-to-date.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share and free cash flow that are not in accordance with, nor an alternate to, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company's reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP measures is included in the Company's most recent Report to Shareholders which is available on Corus' website at www.corusent.com as well as on SEDAR.
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking information and should be read subject to the following cautionary language:
To the extent any statements made in this report contain information that is not historical, these statements are forward-looking statements and may be forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, our objectives, goals, strategies, intentions, plans, estimates and outlook, including advertising, distribution, merchandise and subscription revenues, operating costs and tariffs, taxes and fees, and can generally be identified by the use of the words such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "plan", "will", "may" and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Although Corus believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, including without limitation factors and assumptions regarding advertising, distribution, merchandise and subscription revenues, operating costs and tariffs, taxes and fees and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things: our ability to attract and retain advertising revenues; audience acceptance of our television programs and cable networks; our ability to recoup production costs, the availability of tax credits and the existence of co-production treaties; our ability to compete in any of the industries in which we do business; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by us; conditions in the entertainment, information and communications industries and technological developments therein; changes in laws or regulations or the interpretation or application of those laws and regulations; our ability to integrate and realize anticipated benefits from our acquisitions and to effectively manage our growth; our ability to successfully defend ourselves against litigation matters arising out of the ordinary course of business; and changes in accounting standards. Additional information about these factors and about the material assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements may be found in our Annual Information Form. Corus cautions that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Corus, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, events or circumstances that arise after the date thereof or otherwise.
