TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS We are pleased to report that Graham Holdings had a better year in 2016 than in 2015. There was no single action that drove most of our progress. A combination of continued focus on cost reductions and operating margin improvements, moderate investments in organic growth initiatives, acquisitions in line with our investment philosophy and divestment of non-core businesses and assets all made meaningful contributions to our results this year. More specifically, Kaplan and Graham Media Group, most significantly at Kaplan University, were somewhat our two major operating units, each reported improved offset by improvements at other businesses. results, and our Other Businesses showed positive trends on both the top and bottom lines.

  • UBS 45Th Annual Global & Media Communications Conference
    UBS Global Media & Communications Conference New York City December 5, 2017 Remarks by Timothy J. O’Shaughnessy President and Chief Executive Officer I’d like to begin by taking a brief walk down memory lane. It’s been a little over three years since I joined Graham Holdings and just over two years since I became CEO. When I started, Don and the rest of the GHC Board of Directors gave me broad latitude to move the company forward. The mandate we created for my first several years at the Company was three-fold: 1) Constantly evaluate the broadcast and cable landscapes to make sure we can effectively compete in the ecosystem in a long-term, value optimizing way; 2) Work with the management team at Kaplan to return the business to consistent, stable growth while managing risk for the overall enterprise; and 3) Effectively allocate capital through the use of our formidable balance sheet, as well as the cash generated from the operations of Kaplan and Graham Media Group, to grow the underlying earning power of the Company in value accretive ways. We’ve planted many seeds over the last few years. Some have sprouted, while others never took root. Overall we think the Graham Holdings you see today is stronger, less risky, and more poised for consistent, improved results than at any point since the spin- off of CableOne two and a half years ago. At Graham Holdings we view 2017 as an early peek at what we believe is in store in the future. For long-time followers of the Company, you’ll note that the previous statement is about as close to a forward looking prediction as you are likely to ever hear from us.
