And I guess what I wanted to start was, a pretty ambitious target: 10 million subscribers by 2025. You obviously wanted to focus investors on a long-term opportunity that you see. Can you sort of talk about why you put that target out there, the confidence in that number, what you think drives you towards that? Not to give you sort of a half-an-hour question as the first question. Meredith Kopit Levien: I think that's a fair question, and I'll say we've put it out there as a target, but I wouldn't say it's – it's not a stretch target. It's where we think the business should go for the work we do in the world and also what we think the business can do based on what we can see today. So, worth noting that.

  • Q1 2021 Earnings Script
    The New York Times Company First Quarter 2021 Earnings Conference Call May 5, 2021 Harlan Toplitzky Thank you, and welcome to The New York Times Company’s first quarter 2021 earnings conference call. On the call today, we have: ● Meredith Kopit Levien, president and chief executive officer and ● Roland Caputo, executive vice president and chief financial officer Before we begin, I would like to remind you that management will make forward-looking statements during the course of this call. These statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions, which may change over time. Our actual results could differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties that are described in the Company’s 2020 10-K and subsequent SEC filings. In addition, our presentation will include non-GAAP financial measures, and we have provided reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures in our earnings press release, which is available on our website at investors.nytco.com. With that, I will turn the call over to Meredith Kopit Levien. Meredith Kopit Levien Thanks, Harlan, and good morning. The Times finished the first quarter with more than 7.8 million paid subscriptions across our digital and print products, more than 100 million registered users, and an average weekly audience of 76 million readers. That foundation — plus our unmatched journalistic breadth and a market of at least 100 million people who are expected to pay for English-language journalism — grounds our conviction that we can substantially and profitably scale paid subscriptions over time. Our strong financial results in the first quarter demonstrate the success of our strategy and the promise of our large and growing digital subscription business.
