DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS: 2015 was another successful year for New Media Investment Group Inc. (“New Media”, “we”, or the “Company”) as we continue to execute on all aspects of our strategy. Since becoming a public company nearly two years ago, New Media’s business model has been consistent, and very productive with a total return to shareholders of over 65% as of year-end 2015. As the Company continues to mature, we remain focused on generating value for our shareholders by focusing on the following: 1) Grow our revenue and cash flows organically through new businesses, digital initiatives, and improved content and consumer subscription products 2) Acquire dominant sources of local media that are accretive and strategic additions to drive inorganic growth 3) Return a substantial portion of cash to shareholders in the form of a dividend supported by our strong cash flows and healthy margins ORGANIC REVENUE AND CASH FLOW GROWTH Today, New Media is a leader in the large and fragmented local newspaper industry, and in fact, is the largest owner of daily newspapers in the country, as measured by the number of daily publications. Our portfolio of local media assets are the long standing, dominant sources of comprehensive, high quality, news in the towns they serve. Our focus on hyper-local news keeps our products relevant and valuable to both the consumers and businesses in our markets. With over 560 community publications, including 124 daily newspapers across 31 states, our portfolio provides great diversification as we are not overly exposed to any one customer, product, or market. In addition to our core newspaper business, which continues to generate significant recurring cash flows, we are also seeing tremendous growth from Propel Marketing (“Propel”), our digital marketing services platform. Propel helps small and medium sized businesses (“SMBs”) navigate the complex digital sector by building them a presence, getting them found online, and helping them engage with current and new customers. In 2015, Propel generated $31.3 million of revenue, an increase of $12.8 million, or 69.2%, from the prior year, highlighting the tremendous growth we’re achieving in this business. We believe our ability to leverage our established, trusted local brands and our in-market salesforce uniquely positions New Media to partner with local businesses and gives us a very important strategic advantage in our markets. INORGANIC GROWTH THROUGH STRATEGIC AND ACCRETIVE ACQUISITIONS Newspapers continue to be viewed as an out of favor sector, and the fragmented nature of the market creates a compelling acquisition strategy for New Media which is driving inorganic growth for the Company. Our primary source of funding for all of our acquisitions is internally generated cash from operations. However, larger acquisitions, for example, acquisitions that expand us into new markets, require capital from the debt or equity markets. During the first quarter of 2015, New Media closed its two largest acquisitions to date, Halifax Media and Stephens Media, for $280.0 and $102.5 million, respectively. The acquisitions were transformational for the Company as they added well-established, leading providers of local news in the communities they serve, and significantly expanded New Media’s geographic footprint. To fund these acquisitions in 2015, we completed an equity offering raising gross proceeds of $151.9 million, added a net balance of $102.0 million of incremental debt through our existing term loan, and assumed $18.0 million of debt from Halifax Media. Finally, we were also able to increase the revolver capacity in our credit facility by $15.0 million to $40.0 million, increasing our liquidity position and ability to execute on our acquisition strategy. Since inception, New Media has completed 12 acquisitions with a gross purchase price of nearly $640 million which have been funded primarily with cash on the balance sheet and incremental debt on our term loan. Our acquisitions have been completed at an average 3.9x the acquired company’s LTM As Adjusted EBITDA, and at unlevered and levered yields of 24% and 32%, respectively. Our track record highlights our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy well within our targeted range of 3.5x-4.5x LTM As Adjusted EBITDA. In addition to our exciting strategic and accretive acquisition strategy, in the fourth quarter of 2015, New Media announced that we completed the sale of the Las Vegas Review-Journal (“Las Vegas”) and its related publications for $140.0 million. The sale resulted in an approximate gain of 69% which further demonstrates our ability to create value for our shareholders as we execute on transactions. As our operations team continues to integrate our new acquisitions into our growing family of local media assets, our sourcing team continues to work to identify acquisition targets that fit our financial and operational criteria. With a strong and growing pipeline of potential acquisitions, and significant recurring cash flow from our core newspaper business, we continue to believe New Media is well positioned to continue to consolidate the fragmented newspaper industry. RETURN OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE FORM OF A DIVIDEND From its 2015 operating cash flow, New Media declared a total of $1.32 of dividends per common share. Despite total revenues declining in the mid-single digit range today, we believe we can shield our cash flows from topline declines through measured expense reductions at our acquired properties. As New Media continues to grow free cash flow through organic and inorganic growth initiatives, we remain confident in our ability to continue to grow free cash flow, and subsequently our dividend. 2016 AND BEYOND New Media’s core business continues to produce strong cash flows and healthy profit margins. We believe New Media is well positioned to consolidate the fragmented local media market all while remaining a disciplined buyer. As we grow free cash flow through organic and inorganic initiatives, we see an opportunity to increase our dividend while simultaneously lowering our payout ratio. Given our increased liquidity, established track record of sourcing deals, success at growing digital revenue, and stable free cash flow, we believe New Media remains an attractive total return vehicle that will drive substantial returns for our shareholders.

  • E.W. Scripps Company Expects Newspaper Spinoff to Retain Tax-Free Status in Journal Media Group Acquisition
    E.W. Scripps Company expects newspaper spinoff to retain tax-free status in Journal Media Group acquisition For immediate release Oct. 7, 2015 CINCINNATI – The E.W. Scripps Company (NYSE: SSP) expects the spinoff and merger of its newspaper operations with those of Journal Communications to remain tax free for Scripps and its shareholders if Journal Media Group (NYSE: JMG) is acquired by Gannett Company (NYSE: GCI). Gannett announced plans for the acquisition today. On April 1, Scripps and Journal Communications simultaneously spun off and merged their newspaper operations to form Journal Media Group in a transaction that was tax free for Scripps and its shareholders. At the time of this deal, Scripps and Journal Communications entered into a Tax Matters Agreement to address Scripps’ and Journal Media Group’s rights and obligations with respect to a number of matters, including any sale of Journal Media Group before the second anniversary of the closing of the deal. Under that agreement, Journal Media Group is required to provide Scripps with an unqualified opinion of tax counsel confirming that the tax-free status of the spin-off of Scripps newspapers will be preserved in the event of a sale of Journal Media Group. Scripps has received this tax opinion, which concludes that the sale of Journal Media Group will not result in the prior Scripps spinoff becoming taxable to Scripps or its shareholders. About Scripps The E.W. Scripps Company serves audiences and businesses through a growing portfolio of television, radio and digital media brands. Scripps is one of the nation’s largest independent TV station owners, with 33 television stations in 24 markets and a reach of nearly one in five U.S.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................
