THE WASHINGTON POST COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Washington Post Company, Inc. (the Company) is a diversified education and media company. The Company’s Kaplan subsidiary provides a wide variety of educational services, both domestically and outside the United States. The Company’s media operations consist of the ownership and operation of cable television systems and television broadcasting (through the ownership and operation of six television broadcast stations).

The Company announced on August 5, 2013 that it had entered into an agreement to sell The Washington Post, and some other newspaper publishing entities. On October 1, 2013, the Company completed such sale. The operating results of The Washington Post and publishing businesses sold have been presented in (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented.

Financial Periods – The Company and its subsidiaries report on a calendar-quarter basis.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information; (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q; and (iii) the guidance of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. As permitted under such rules, certain notes and other financial information normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented herein. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes the reclassification of the results of operations of certain businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.

Assets Held for Sale – An asset or business is classified as held for sale when (i) management commits to a plan to sell the asset or business; (ii) the asset or business is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) the asset or business is actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price; (iv) the sale is expected to be completed within one year; and (v) it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The assets and related liabilities are aggregated and reported separately in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued final guidance on the presentation of reclassifications out of other comprehensive income to net income. The amendment requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in a footnote, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, only if the amount reclassified is required by GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their

5


entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide detail about those amounts. This amendment is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the amendment in the first quarter of 2013 is reflected in the Company's Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On August 5, 2013, after approval by the Company’s Board of Directors on the same day, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) with Nash Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Purchaser), and Explore Holdings LLC, a Washington limited liability company, as guarantor (the Guarantor), to sell all the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of WP Company LLC, Express Publications Company, LLC, El Tiempo Latino, LLC, Robinson Terminal Warehouse, LLC, Greater Washington Publishing, LLC and Post-Newsweek Media, LLC (the Publishing Subsidiaries). The Publishing Subsidiaries together conducted most of the Company’s publishing businesses, including publishing The Washington Post , Express , The Gazette Newspapers , Southern Maryland Newspapers , Fairfax County Times and El Tiempo Latino and related websites, and operating Washington Post Live and Washington Post News Media Services and the Company’s commercial printing and distribution business and paper handling and storage business (collectively, the Publishing Business), subject to satisfying certain conditions.

On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement and completed the sale. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser acquired all the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of the entities that comprise the Publishing Subsidiaries for $250 million, subject to customary adjustment for cash, debt and working capital of the Publishing Subsidiaries at closing. The Purchaser also acquired all other assets of the Company primarily related to the Publishing Business, including all of the Company’s rights in the name “The Washington Post”. The Company will change its corporate name within 60 days of the October 1 closing. The Company retained its interest in Classified Ventures, LLC, Slate magazine, TheRoot.com and Foreign Policy, as well as the WaPo Labs and SocialCode business and certain real estate, including the headquarters building in downtown Washington, DC and certain land and property in Alexandria, VA. The liabilities under the Retirement Plan for The Washington Post Companies relating to the active employees of the Publishing Business will be transferred to the Purchaser, along with pension assets that have a value equal to the projected benefit obligation in respect of these active employees plus an additional $50 million. The results of operations of Publishing Subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.

The Company will not record the gain or the net proceeds on the sale until the fourth quarter of 2013; however, the Company recognized $28.4 million (after-tax impact of $18.3 million) in expenses related to the sale that are included in discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2013. These costs include the net impact of accelerated vesting provisions and forfeitures of restricted stock awards and stock options that were made in contemplation of the sale, and certain other transaction-related expenses. Also included in discontinued operations is $22.7 million (after-tax basis of $14.5 million) in early retirement program expense for the first nine months of 2013 and $7.5 million (after-tax basis of $4.6 million) and $8.5 million (after-tax basis of $5.3 million) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively. The historical pension and postretirement benefits expense for retirees has been excluded from the reclassification of the Publishing Subsidiaries’ results to discontinued operations, since the associated assets and liabilities will be retained by the Company. Although the Company has retained ownership of certain real estate assets, including the headquarters building in downtown Washington, DC, related operating costs are included in the reclassification of the Publishing Subsidiaries’ results to discontinued operations since the Purchase Agreement includes a lease to the buyer for the real estate assets that provides for recovery of operating costs by the Company.

All corresponding prior period operating results presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes have been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations presented. The assets and liabilities of the Publishing Subsidiaries have been classified on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of September 30, 2013. The Company did not reclassify its Statements of Cash Flows or prior Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to reflect the discontinued operations.

In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald, a daily and Sunday newspaper headquartered in Everett, WA. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser received most of the assets and liabilities; however, certain land and buildings and other assets and liabilities were retained by the Company. The results of operations of The Herald for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.

In August 2012, the Company completed the sale of Kidum and recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.6 million and an after-tax gain of $10.2 million related to this sale in the third quarter of 2012. On July 31, 2012, the Company disposed of its interest in Avenue100 Media Solutions, Inc. and recorded a pre-tax loss of $5.7 million related to the disposition. An income tax benefit of $44.5 million was also recorded in the third quarter of 2012 as the Company determined that Avenue100 had no value. The income tax benefit was due to the Company’s tax basis in the stock of Avenue100 exceeding its net book value, as a result of goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges recorded in 2008, 2010 and 2011 for which no tax benefit was previously recorded. In April 2012, the Company completed the sale of Kaplan EduNeering. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser acquired the stock of EduNeering and received substantially all the assets and liabilities. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an after-tax gain of $18.5 million related to this sale. In February 2012, Kaplan completed the stock sale of Kaplan Learning Technologies (KLT) and recorded an after-tax loss on the sale of $1.9 million. The Company recorded $23.2 million of income tax benefits in the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the sale of its stock in EduNeering and KLT related to the excess of the outside stock tax basis over the net book value of the net assets disposed. The results of operations of Kidum, Avenue100, EduNeering, and KLT, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.

There were no new investments in marketable equity securities during the first nine months of 2013.  The Company invested $45.0 million in marketable equity securities during the first nine months of 2012. During the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the proceeds from sales of marketable equity securities were $3.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and net realized gains on such sales were $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2013, the investment has been in an unrealized loss position for under six months. The Company evaluated this investment for other-than-temporary impairment based on various factors, including the duration and severity of the unrealized loss, the reason for the decline in value and the potential recovery period, and the ability and intent to hold the investment and concluded that the unrealized loss is not other-than-temporary as of September 30, 2013. If any impairment is considered other-than-temporary, the investment will be written down to its fair market value with a corresponding charge to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisitions. In the first nine months of 2013, the Company acquired five small businesses included in other businesses and in its education division; the purchase price allocation mostly comprised goodwill and other intangible assets on a preliminary basis. In the first nine months of 2012, the Company acquired four small businesses included in its education division and in other businesses; the purchase price allocation mostly comprised goodwill and other intangible assets. The assets and liabilities of the companies acquired have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

On August 1, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of Forney Corporation, a global supplier of products and systems that control and monitor combustion processes in electric utility and industrial applications. The operating results of Forney are included in other businesses.

In the second quarter of 2013, Kaplan purchased the remaining 15% noncontrolling interest in Kaplan China; this additional interest was accounted for as an equity transaction.

In September 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Celtic Healthcare, Inc. (Celtic), a provider of home healthcare and hospice services in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions. The transaction closed on November 5, 2012. The operating results of Celtic are included in other businesses.

Dispositions. On August 5, 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Publishing Subsidiaries that together conducted most of the Company’s publishing business and related services, including publishing The Washington Post , Express , The Gazette Newspapers , Southern Maryland Newspapers , Fairfax County Times and El Tiempo Latino and related websites. Slate magazine, TheRoot.com and Foreign Policy are not part of the transaction and will remain with The Washington Post Company, as will the WaPo Labs and SocialCode businesses, the Company’s interest in Classified Ventures and certain real estate assets, including the headquarters building in downtown Washington, DC. On October 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale.

In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald, a daily and Sunday newspaper headquartered in Everett, WA. The Herald was previously reported in the newspaper publishing division.

The Company divested its interested in Avenue100 Media Solutions in July 2012, which was previously reported in other businesses. Kaplan completed the sales of Kidum in August 2012, EduNeering in April 2012 and Kaplan Learning Technologies in February 2012, which were part of the Kaplan Ventures division.

Consequently, the Company’s income from continuing operations excludes these sold businesses, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax (see Note 2) .

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability based on a three-tiered hierarchy that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measure. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

(5)       Includes The Washington Post Company Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under The Washington Post Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits.

(6)       See Note 6 for carrying amount of these notes and borrowing.

(7)       Included in Other liabilities. The Company utilized a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swap multiplied by the observable inputs of time to maturity and market interest rates.

For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Assets and liabilities that are measured using significant other observable inputs are primarily valued by reference to quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability.

Defined Benefit Plan Assets. The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of a relatively small number of stocks and high-quality fixed-income securities that are held by a third-party trustee. The assets of the Company’s pension plan were allocated as follows:

Essentially all of the assets are actively managed by two investment companies. The goal of the investment managers is to produce moderate long-term growth in the value of these assets, while protecting them against large decreases in value. Both of these managers may invest in a combination of equity and fixed-income securities and cash. The managers are not permitted to invest in securities of the Company or in alternative investments. The investment managers cannot invest more than 20% of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Berkshire Hathaway or more than 10% of the assets in the securities of any other single issuer, except for obligations of the U.S. Government, without receiving prior approval by the Plan administrator. As of September 30, 2013, the managers can invest no more than 24% of the assets in international stocks at the time the investment is made, and no less than 10% of the assets could be invested in fixed-income securities. None of the assets is managed internally by the Company.

In determining the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. In addition, the Company may consult with and consider the input of financial and other professionals in developing appropriate return benchmarks.

The Company evaluated its defined benefit pension plan asset portfolio for the existence of significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of credit risk as of September 30, 2013. Types of concentrations that were evaluated include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country and individual fund. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the pension plan held common stock in one investment

16


that exceeded 10% of total plan assets. This investment was valued at $389.3 million and $223.1 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, or approximately 16% and 11%, respectively, of total plan assets. Assets also included $228.6 million and $179.9 million of Berkshire Hathaway common stock at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the pension plan held investments in one foreign country that exceeded 10% of total plan assets. These investments were valued at $406.4 million and $240.4 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, or approximately 16% and 12%, respectively, of total plan assets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the benefit associated with the Publishing Subsidiaries was $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

As part of the sale of The Herald, changes were made with respect to its postretirement medical plan, resulting in a $3.5 million settlement gain that is included in discontinued operations, net of tax, for the first quarter of 2013.

Disposition of Publishing Business. In connection with the October 1, 2013 sale of the Publishing Business, the liabilities under the Retirement Plan for The Washington Post Companies relating to the active employees of the Publishing Business will be transferred to the Purchaser, along with pension assets that have a value equal to the projected benefit obligation in respect of these active employees plus an additional $50 million. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company will recognize net curtailment and settlement gains (losses) related to this transfer as well as a remeasurement of each of the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans.  Additionally, the Company excluded the historical pension and postretirement benefits expense for retirees from the reclassification of the Publishing Subsidiaries’ results to discontinued operations, since the associated assets and liabilities will be retained by the Company.

12. CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Legal Matters. The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of the legal claims and proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Also, based on currently available information, management is of the opinion that the exposure to future material losses from existing legal proceedings is not reasonably possible, or that future material losses in excess of the amounts accrued are not reasonably possible.

DOE Program Reviews. The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) undertakes program reviews at Title IV participating institutions. Currently, there are four open and/or pending program reviews (including Kaplan University and Broomall, PA.) The Company is awaiting the DOE’s final report on the program review at KHE’s Broomall, PA, location. In May 2012, the DOE issued a preliminary report on its 2009 onsite program review at Kaplan University containing several findings that required Kaplan University to conduct additional, detailed file reviews and submit additional data. In January 2013, Kaplan submitted a response to the DOE’s data request and is awaiting a final report on this review. The Company does not expect the final program review reports to have a material impact on KHE; however, the results of these and the other open reviews and their impact on Kaplan’s operations are uncertain.

The 90/10 Rule .  Under regulations referred to as the 90/10 rule, a KHE OPEID unit would lose its eligibility to participate in Title IV programs for a period of at least two fiscal years if it derives more than 90% of its receipts from Title IV programs, as calculated on a cash basis in accordance with the Higher Education Act and applicable DOE regulations, in each of two consecutive fiscal years, commencing with the unit’s first fiscal year that ends after August 14, 2008. Any OPEID unit with Title IV receipts exceeding 90% for a single fiscal year ending after August 14, 2008, will be placed on provisional certification and may be subject to other enforcement measures. KHE is taking various measures to reduce the percentage of its receipts attributable to Title IV funds, including modifying student payment options; emphasizing direct-pay and employer-paid education programs; encouraging students to carefully evaluate the amount of their Title IV borrowing; eliminating some programs; cash-matching; and developing and offering additional non-Title IV-eligible certificate preparation, professional development and continuing education programs. Some of the other programs may currently be offered by other Kaplan businesses. Based on currently available information, management does not believe that any of the Kaplan OPEID units will have a 90/10 ratio over 90% in 2013. Kaplan continues taking steps to address compliance with the 90/10 rule; however, there can be no guarantee that these measures will be adequate to prevent the 90/10 rule calculations at some or all of the schools from exceeding 90% in the future.

19


Accreditation. In March 2011, Kaplan University’s institutional accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC), sent a request to Kaplan University asking for documents and a report detailing Kaplan University’s admissions practices and describing Kaplan University’s compliance with HLC Care Components and policies. Kaplan University complied with this request on April 29, 2011. Kaplan University provided additional information to the HLC in response to a follow-up request received on January 19, 2012. On June 19, 2013, the HLC notified Kaplan University of their intention to conduct a focused evaluation regarding these matters and that is expected to take place in early 2014. At this time the Company cannot predict how the HLC will follow-up or what impact their additional inquires may have on Kaplan University.

13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has six reportable segments: Kaplan Higher Education, Kaplan Test Preparation, Kaplan International, cable television, television broadcasting and other businesses.

Education. Kaplan’s Colloquy business moved from Kaplan International to Kaplan Corporate effective January 1, 2013. Segment operating results of the education division have been restated to reflect this change.

For the first nine months of 2012, Kaplan International results benefitted from a favorable $3.9 million out of period expense adjustment related to certain items recorded in 2011 and 2010. With respect to this out of period expense adjustment, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

Newspaper Publishing. Due to the sale of the Publishing Subsidiaries on October 1, 2013, the newspaper publishing segment is no longer included as a separate segment as its results have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald, a daily and Sunday newspaper headquartered in Everett, WA. As a result, The Herald results are included in discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented.

Other Businesses. The Slate Group and the FP Group have been moved to Other Businesses since the newspaper publishing segment is no longer a separate segment. The results for these entities are included in Other Businesses for all periods presented. In August 2013, the Company acquired Forney, a global supplier of products and systems that control and monitor combustion processes in electric utility and industrial applications, which is also included in Other Businesses.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

This analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

The Company reported income from continuing operations attributable to common shares of $56.0 million ($7.53 per share) for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $56.3 million ($7.58 per share) for the third quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to common shares was $30.1 million ($4.05 per share) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to $93.8 million ($12.64 per share) for the third quarter of last year. Net income includes $25.9 million ($3.48 per share) in losses and $37.5 million ($5.06 per share) in income from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On October 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale of most of its newspaper publishing businesses, including The Washington Post. Consequently, the Company's income from continuing operations for the third quarter and year-to-date periods excludes these sold businesses, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Items included in the Company’s income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2013:

§ $4.0 million in severance and restructuring charges at the education division (after-tax impact of $3.1 million, or $0.42 per share); and

§ $7.9 million in non-operating unrealized foreign currency gains (after-tax impact of $5.0 million, or $0.69 per share).

Items included in the Company’s income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2012:

§ $4.3 million in severance and restructuring charges at the education division (after-tax impact of $2.7 million, or $0.37 per share); and

§ $3.1 million in non-operating unrealized foreign currency gains (after-tax impact of $1.9 million, or $0.26 per share).

Revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $902.5 million, up 3% from $877.6 million in the third quarter of 2012.

KHE includes Kaplan’s domestic postsecondary education businesses, made up of fixed -facility colleges and online postsecondary and career programs. KHE also includes the domestic professional training and other continuing education businesses.

In 2012, KHE began implementing plans to close or merge 13 ground campuses, consolidate other facilities and reduce its workforce. In connection with these and other plans, KHE incurred $2.5 million and $14.1 million in total restructuring costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, compared to $2.7 million and $6.5 million in severance and restructuring costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively. For the third quarter of 2013, these costs included accelerated depreciation ($0.8 million), severance ($1.6 million) and lease obligation losses ($0.1 million). For the first nine months of 2013, these costs included accelerated depreciation ($5.8 million), severance ($3.0 million), lease obligation losses ($4.4 million) and other items ($0.9 million). In the first nine months of 2013, ten KHE campuses were closed. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, restructuring costs were mostly severance, but also included $0.6 million in accelerated depreciation.

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, higher education revenue declined 3% and 7%, respectively, due largely to declines in average enrollments that reflect weaker market demand over the past year and the impact of campuses in the process of closing.

26


KHE operating income increased significantly in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, due largely to expense reductions associated with lower enrollments and recent restructuring efforts.

New student enrollments at KHE declined 7% and 1% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. New student enrollments were down due to the impact of closed campuses and those planned for closure that are no longer recruiting students, offset by the positive impact of trial period modifications and process improvements.

Total students at September 30, 2013, were down 11% compared to September 30, 2012, but increased 5% compared to June 30, 2013. Excluding campuses closed or planned for closure, total students at September 30, 2013, were down 7% compared to September 30, 2012, but up 5% compared to June 30, 2013.

Kaplan Test Preparation (KTP) includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation programs. KTP revenue declined 5% for the third quarter of 2013, but increased 4% for the first nine months of 2013. Enrollment declined 8% and 2% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, due to declines in graduate programs, offset by growth in nursing and bar review programs. KTP operating results improved in the first nine months of 2013 due largely to increased revenues.

Kaplan International includes English-language programs and postsecondary education and professional training businesses outside the United States. Kaplan International revenue increased 4% and 5% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, due to enrollment growth in the pathways, English-language and Singapore higher education programs. Kaplan International operating income declined in the third quarter of 2013 due to reduced earnings in professional training, and increased investment to support growth in English-language and Singapore higher education programs. For the first nine months of 2013, operating income declined due to reduced earnings in professional training, and increased investment to support growth in English-language programs, offset by better results in Singapore. The results in Australia included restructuring costs of $1.5 million and $4.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, Kaplan International results benefited from a $2.0 million and $3.9 million favorable adjustment to certain items recorded in prior periods.

Cable Television

Cable television division revenue increased 1% in the third quarter of 2013 to $202.4 million, from $199.6 million for the third quarter of 2012; for the first nine months of 2013, revenue increased 4% to $607.1 million, from $585.4 million in the same period of 2012. The revenue increase for the first nine months of 2013 is due to recent rate increases for many subscribers, growth in commercial sales and a reduction in promotional discounts. The increase was partially offset by a decline in basic video subscribers, as the cable division focuses its efforts on churn reduction and retention of its high-value subscribers.

Cable television division operating income declined slightly in the third quarter of 2013 to $39.7 million, from $39.9 million in the third quarter of 2012; for the first nine months of 2013, operating income increased 9% to $121.0 million, from $111.1 million for the first nine months of 2012. The division’s operating income improved in the first nine months of 2013 due to increased revenues, partially offset by higher programming and depreciation costs.

At September 30, 2013, Primary Service Units (PSUs) were down 3% from the prior year due to a decline in basic video subscribers. PSUs include about 6,400 subscribers who receive free basic cable service, primarily local governments, schools and other organizations as required by various franchise agreements. A summary of PSUs is as follows:

Television Broadcasting

Revenue at the television broadcasting division declined 18% to $87.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, from $106.4 million in the same period of 2012; operating income for the third quarter of 2013 was down 33% to $36.3 million, from $54.1 million in the same period of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, revenue declined 4% to $271.7 million, from $283.5 million in the same period of 2012; operating income for the first nine months of 2013 was down 7% to $119.4 million, from $128.8 million in the same period of 2012.

The decline in revenue and operating income is due to a $15.9 million and $24.1 million decrease in political advertising revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, and $10.8 million in incremental summer Olympics-related advertising at the Company’s NBC affiliates in the third quarter of 2012. The decline in revenue and operating income was partially offset by incremental advertising revenue from the NBA finals broadcast at the division’s ABC affiliates in Miami and San Antonio, and increased retransmission revenues.

Other Businesses

Other businesses includes the operating results of Social Code, a marketing solutions provider helping companies with marketing on social media platforms; Celtic Healthcare, a provider of home health care and hospice services in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions, acquired by the Company in November 2012; Forney, a global supplier of products and systems that control and monitor combustion processes in electric utility and industrial applications, acquired by the Company in August 2013; and WaPo Labs, a digital team focused on emerging technologies and new product development. Also included are the Slate Group and the FP Group, previously included as part of the Company’s newspaper publishing division.

28


The revenue increase in other businesses for the first nine months of 2013 is primarily due to growth at Social Code and Slate, and revenue from the Company’s recently acquired Celtic Healthcare and Forney businesses.

Corporate Office

Corporate office includes the expenses of the Company’s corporate office as well as a net pension credit.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 was 38.1%, compared to 38.8% for the first nine months of 2012.

Discontinued Operations

On August 5, 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Publishing Subsidiaries that together conducted most of the Company’s publishing businesses and related services, including publishing The Washington Post, Express, The Gazette Newspapers, Southern Maryland Newspapers, Fairfax County Times and El Tiempo Latino and related websites. Slate magazine, TheRoot.com and Foreign Policy are not part of the transaction and remain with The Washington Post Company, as do the WaPo Labs and SocialCode businesses, the Company’s interest in Classified Ventures and certain real estate assets, including the headquarters building in downtown Washington, DC. On October 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale. Consequently, the Company’s income from continuing operations excludes these sold businesses, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented.

29


The Purchaser acquired all the issued and outstanding equity securities of the Publishing Subsidiaries for $250 million, subject to customary adjustments for cash, debt and working capital at closing. The Company will not record the gain on the sale until the fourth quarter of 2013; however, the Company recognized $28.4 million (after-tax impact of $18.3 million) in expenses related to the sale that are included in discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2013. These costs include the net impact of accelerated vesting provisions and forfeitures of restricted stock awards and stock options that were made in contemplation of the sale, and certain other transaction-related expenses. Also included in discontinued operations is $22.7 million (after-tax basis of $14.5 million) in early retirement program expense for the first nine months of 2013, and $7.5 million (after-tax basis of $4.6 million) and $8.5 million (after-tax basis of $5.3 million) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively.

In March 2013, the Company sold The Herald. Kaplan sold Kidum in August 2012, EduNeering in April 2012 and Kaplan Learning Technologies (KLT) in February 2012. The Company divested its interest in Avenue100 Media Solutions in July 2012. Consequently, the Company’s income from continuing operations also excludes the operating results and related net gains on disposition of these businesses, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax.

In the second quarter of 2013, Kaplan purchased the remaining 15% noncontrolling interest in Kaplan China; this additional interest was accounted for as an equity transaction.

In September 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Celtic Healthcare, Inc. (Celtic), a provider of home healthcare and hospice services in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions. The transaction closed on November 5, 2012. The operating results of Celtic are included in other businesses.

Dispositions. On August 5, 2013, after approval by the Company’s Board of Directors on the same day, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) with Nash Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Purchaser), and Explore Holdings LLC, a Washington limited liability company, as guarantor (the Guarantor), to sell all the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of WP Company LLC, Express Publications Company, LLC, El Tiempo Latino, LLC, Robinson Terminal Warehouse, LLC, Greater Washington Publishing, LLC and Post-Newsweek Media, LLC (the Publishing Subsidiaries). The Publishing Subsidiaries together conducted most of the Company’s publishing businesses, including publishing The Washington Post , Express , The Gazette Newspapers , Southern Maryland Newspapers , Fairfax County Times and El Tiempo Latino and related websites, and operating Washington Post Live and Washington Post News Media Services and the Company’s commercial printing and distribution business and paper handling and storage business (collectively, the Publishing Business), subject to satisfying certain conditions.

On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement and completed the sale. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser acquired all the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of the entities that comprise the Publishing Subsidiaries for $250 million, subject to customary adjustment for cash, debt and working capital

30


of the Publishing Subsidiaries at closing. The Purchaser also acquired all other assets of the Company primarily related to the Publishing Business, including all of the Company’s rights in the name “The Washington Post”. The Company will change its corporate name within 60 days of the October 1 closing. The Company retained its interest in Classified Ventures, LLC, Slate magazine, TheRoot.com and Foreign Policy, as well as the WaPo Labs and SocialCode business and certain real estate, including the headquarters building in downtown Washington, DC and certain land and property in Alexandria, VA. The liabilities under the Retirement Plan for The Washington Post Companies relating to the active employees of the Publishing Business will be transferred to the Purchaser, along with pension assets that have a value equal to the projected benefit obligation in respect of these active employees plus an additional $50 million. The results of operations of Publishing Subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.

The Company will not record the gain or the net proceeds on the sale until the fourth quarter of 2013; however, the Company recognized $28.4 million (after-tax impact of $18.3 million) in expenses related to the sale that are included in discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2013. These costs include the net impact of accelerated vesting provisions and forfeitures of restricted stock awards and stock options that were made in contemplation of the sale, and certain other transaction-related expenses. Including the $28.4 million in expenses related to the sale recorded in the third quarter of 2013, the Company estimates a $125 million pre-tax gain and an $80 million after-tax gain on the sale. This includes a preliminary estimate of net curtailment and settlement gains from the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans, along with other estimates. As a result, the final gain amount reported in the fourth quarter of 2013 will likely differ from this preliminary estimate.

In October 2013, of the total restricted shares where vesting was accelerated, the Company purchased 21,774 shares from former employees for $13.5 million.

In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald, a daily and Sunday newspaper headquartered in Everett, WA. The Herald was previously reported in the newspaper publishing division.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had working capital of $516.7 million and $327.5 million, respectively. The Company maintains working capital levels consistent with its underlying business requirements and consistently generates cash from operations in excess of required interest or principal payments. The Company expects to fund its estimated capital needs primarily through existing cash balances and internally generated funds and to a lesser extent borrowings supported by our Credit Agreement. In management’s opinion, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its various cash needs throughout 2013.

There were no significant changes to the Company’s contractual obligations or other commercial commitments from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements that are based largely on the Company’s current expectations. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. For more information about these forward-looking statements and related risks, please refer to the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item  3.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its business due primarily to its ownership of marketable equity securities, which are subject to equity price risk; to its borrowing and cash-management activities, which are subject to interest rate risk; and to its foreign business operations, which are subject to foreign exchange rate risk. The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K have not otherwise changed significantly.

Item 4.        Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer) and the Company’s Senior Vice President-Finance (the Company’s principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of September 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
