NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of The New York Times Company’s (the “Company”) management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012 , and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 24, 2012 . The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we,” “us” or “our.” All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. These financial statements, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 . Due to the seasonal nature of our business, operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s operations. The fiscal periods included herein comprise 13 weeks for the second -quarter periods and 26 weeks for the full six-month periods.

For comparability, certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

See Note 3 for information regarding adjustments to prior period financial statements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of June 30, 2013 , our significant accounting policies, which are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 , have not changed. In the first quarter of 2013 , we added a significant accounting policy related to our investments in marketable securities.

Marketable securities

We have investments in marketable debt and equity securities. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the date of purchase and reevaluate the classifications at the balance sheet date. Marketable debt securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term. Marketable debt securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. We have the intent and ability to hold our marketable debt securities until maturity; therefore they are accounted for as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost. Our marketable equity security is accounted for as available-for-sale and stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of our available-for-sale security are recognized as unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”).

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

At the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year, we adopted new guidance for the presentation of amounts reclassified from AOCI. The guidance specifically required, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, presentation of significant amounts reclassified from AOCI by component for the respective line items of net income. We adopted the new guidance and present the reclassifications in the notes to the financial statements. See Note 14 for additional information regarding amounts reclassified from AOCI.

NOTE 3. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

During the second quarter of 2013, we determined that due to an error in the actuarial valuation of accrued benefits for approximately 800 participants primarily in The New York Times Companies Pension Plan, our pension benefit obligation was overstated by approximately $50.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and $50.9 million as of March 31, 2013. The New York Times Companies Pension Plan (which was frozen as of December 31, 2009) provides for certain offsetting credits for plan participants who are also entitled to benefits under another qualified pension plan to which we contribute, primarily from The New York Times Newspaper Guild Pension Plan or the Boston Globe Retirement Plan for employees represented by the Boston Newspaper Guild. We determined that those offsetting credits were not properly recorded in prior interim and annual periods, on our balance sheet from December 30, 2007 through March 31, 2013 and on our income statement from the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008 through the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)

In accordance with the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, we assessed the impact of these adjustments on prior period financial statements and concluded that these errors were not material individually or in the aggregate to any of the prior reporting periods from an income statement and balance sheet perspective. However, the correction of the error in the current period would be considered material and would impact comparisons to prior periods.

Accordingly, we have adjusted our consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 25, 2011 through March 31, 2013 to correct the errors and will make adjustments for future Form 10-Q and 10-K filings that include financial statements for the periods affected. The adjustment primarily resulted in a reduction in pension expense, other comprehensive income and pension liability in each of the periods presented.

The cumulative effect, net of tax, on the opening retained earnings and opening accumulated comprehensive income as of December 27, 2010 were $6.0 million and $14.5 million , respectively. There was no impact on cash flows for the periods indicated. The following tables show the adjusted financial statements for those periods indicated:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013 , we recognized an unrealized gain of $1.3 million ( $0.7 million after-tax).

Balance as of June 30, 2013	$	121,433

The foreign currency translation line item reflects changes in goodwill resulting from fluctuating exchange rates related to the consolidation of the International Herald Tribune (the “IHT”).

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS

Equity Method Investments/Joint Ventures

As of June 30, 2013 , our investments in joint ventures consisted of equity ownership interests in the following entities:



Company	Approximate % Ownership
Metro Boston LLC (“Metro Boston”)	49	%
Donohue Malbaie Inc.	49	%
Madison Paper Industries	40	%

In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a nominal charge for the impairment of our investment in quadrantONE LLC as a result of its February 2013 announcement of the wind down of its operations.

See Note 17 for further information on our equity ownership interest in Metro Boston.

Cost Method Investments

Gain on Sale of Investment

In the first quarter of 2012, we sold 100 of our units in Fenway Sports Group for an aggregate price of $30.0 million (pre-tax gain of $17.8 million ) and in the second quarter of 2012, we completed the sale of our remaining 210 units for an aggregate price of $63.0 million (pre-tax gain of $37.8 million ). These sales resulted in a pre-tax gain of $55.6 million in the first six months of 2012. Effective with the first quarter 2012 sale, given our reduced ownership level and lack of influence on the operations of Fenway Sports Group, we changed the accounting for this investment from the equity method to the cost method. Therefore, starting in the first quarter of 2012, we no longer recognized our proportionate share of the operating results of Fenway Sports Group in joint venture results in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Impairment of Investments

In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.9 million to reduce the carrying value of certain investments to fair value. The impairment charges were primarily related to our investment in Ongo Inc., a consumer service for reading and sharing digital news and information from multiple publishers.

NOTE 8. OTHER

Severance Costs

We recognized severance costs of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $7.7 million in the first six months of 2013 . These costs are recorded in “Selling, general and administrative costs” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2013 , we had a severance liability of approximately $13.2 million included in “Accrued expenses and other” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accelerated Depreciation

In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded a $6.7 million charge for accelerated depreciation for certain assets at the Worcester Telegram & Gazette’s (the “T&G”) facility in Millbury, Mass., associated with the consolidation of most of the T&G’s printing into The Boston Globe’s (the “Globe”) facility in Boston, which was completed early in the second quarter of 2012.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The transaction would be in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables summarize our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 , and December 30, 2012 :



(In thousands)	June 30, 2013

The available-for-sale security, included in “Long-term marketable securities” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, consists of our investment in the common stock of Brightcove, Inc. (see Note 4). The fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

The deferred compensation liability, included in “Other liabilities – other” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, consists of deferrals under our deferred executive compensation plan, which enables certain eligible executives to elect to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. The deferred amounts are invested at the executives’ option in various mutual funds. The fair value of deferred compensation is based on the mutual fund investments elected by the executives, which are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Recorded, at Fair Value

Our marketable debt securities, which include U.S. Treasury securities, corporate debt securities, U.S. government agency securities, municipal securities, certificates of deposit and commercial paper, are recorded at amortized cost (see Note 4). As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012 , the amortized cost approximated fair value. We classified these investments as Level 2 since the fair value estimates are based on market observable inputs for investments with similar terms and maturities.

The carrying value of our long-term debt was approximately $687 million as of June 30, 2013 and $690 million as of December 30, 2012 . The fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $819 million as of June 30, 2013 and $840 million as of December 30, 2012 . We estimate the fair value of our debt utilizing market quotations for debt that have quoted prices in

active markets. Since our debt does not trade on a daily basis in an active market, the fair value estimates are based on market observable inputs based on borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2).

NOTE 10. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Pension

We sponsor several single-employer defined benefit pensions, the majority of which have been frozen; and participate in joint Company and Guild-sponsored plans covering employees of The New York Times Newspaper Guild, including The New York Times Newspaper Guild pension plan, which was frozen, and a new defined benefit pension plan, subject to the approval of the Internal Revenue Service. The components of net periodic pension (income)/cost were as follows:

In the first six months of 2013 , we made pension contributions of approximately $68 million to certain qualified pension plans. Approximately $65 million of our year-to-date 2013 contributions was made to The New York Times Newspaper Guild pension plan, of which $28 million was estimated to be necessary to satisfy minimum funding requirements in 2013 or contractually required. Including the first six months of contributions, we expect to make total contributions of approximately $75 million in 2013 to our qualified pension plans.

Net periodic postretirement benefit income	$	(1,377	)	$	(1,461	)	$	(2,753	)	$	(30,135	)

In the first quarter of 2012, we sold the Regional Media Group (see Note 12). The sale significantly reduced the expected years of future service for current employees, resulting in a remeasurement and curtailment of a postretirement benefit plan. We recognized a curtailment gain of $27.2 million in the first quarter of 2012. The curtailment gain is included in the gain on the sale within “Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES

We had an income tax expense of $18.2 million and $21.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared to $29.4 million and $ 31.2 million , respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2012. Our effective tax rate was 47.4% and 47.8% for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 43.6% and 39.8% , respectively, for second quarter and first six months ended June 24, 2012. Changes in reserves for uncertain tax positions and various permanent differences relative to our pre-tax income from continuing operations had an unfavorable impact on the effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE 12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

About Group

On September 24, 2012, we completed the sale of the About Group, consisting of About.com, ConsumerSearch.com, CalorieCount.com and related businesses, to IAC/InterActiveCorp for $300.0 million in cash, plus a net working capital adjustment of approximately $17 million . In 2012, the sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $96.7 million ( $61.9 million after-tax).

The results of operations of the About Group, which had previously been presented as a reportable segment, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in 2012.

Regional Media Group

On January 6, 2012, we completed the sale of the Regional Media Group, consisting of 16 regional newspapers, other print publications and related businesses, to Halifax Media Holdings LLC for approximately $140 million in cash. The net after-tax proceeds from the sale, including a tax benefit, were approximately $150 million . In 2012, the sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $23.6 million (including post-closing adjustments recorded in the second and fourth quarters of 2012 totaling $6.6 million ).

The results of operations for the Regional Media Group, which had previously been included in the News Media Group reportable segment, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in 2012.

The 2012 results of operations for the About Group and the Regional Media Group presented as discontinued operations are summarized below.

(1)	The income tax benefit for the Regional Media Group included a tax deduction for goodwill, which was previously non-deductible, triggered upon the sale of the Regional Media Group.

Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or in an interim period if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Our policy is to perform our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. However, due to certain impairment indicators at the About Group, we performed an interim impairment test as of June 24, 2012. The interim impairment test resulted in a $194.7 million non-cash charge in the second quarter of 2012 for the impairment of goodwill at the About Group. The impairment charge reduced the carrying value of goodwill to its fair value.

(Unaudited)

The difference between basic and diluted shares is that diluted shares include the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of outstanding securities. Our warrants, restricted stock units and stock options could have the most significant impact on diluted shares.

Securities that could potentially be dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when a loss from continuing operations exists or when the exercise price exceeds the market value of our Class A Common Stock, because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on per share amounts.

The number of stock options that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, because they were anti-dilutive, were approximately 11 million in the second quarter of 2013 and first six months of 2013 and approximately 16 million in the second quarter of 2012 and first six months of 2012 .

NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have one reportable segment. Therefore, all required segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We currently have two operating segments: The New York Times Media Group, which includes The New York Times, the IHT, NYTimes.com, and related businesses; and the New England Media Group, which includes the Globe, BostonGlobe.com, Boston.com, the T&G, Telegram.com, and related businesses. The economic characteristics, products, services, production processes, customer types and distribution methods for these operating segments are substantially similar and therefore have been aggregated into one reportable segment. These operating segments generate revenues principally from circulation and advertising. Other revenues primarily consist of revenues from news services/syndication, commercial printing and distribution, rental income, digital archives and direct mail advertising services.

See Note 17 for further information on the New England Media Group.

NOTE 16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Restricted Cash

We were required to maintain $22.3 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2013 , and $24.3 million as of December 30, 2012 , subject to certain collateral requirements, primarily for obligations under our workers’ compensation programs. Restricted cash is included in “Miscellaneous assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other

There are various legal actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and are now pending against us. These actions are generally for amounts greatly in excess of the payments, if any, that may be required to be made. It is the opinion of management after reviewing these actions with our legal counsel that the ultimate liability that might result from these actions would not have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 3, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell the New England Media Group and our 49% interest in Metro Boston to an acquisition company owned by John W. Henry for $70 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. We expect the transaction to close in 30 to 60 days. Upon completion of the sale, we expect to record an after-tax loss in the range of $15 to $25 million on the sale. We estimate that the net after-tax proceeds from the sale including a tax benefit will be approximately $70 to $80 million, which we plan to use for general corporate purposes.

We will retain the pension assets and liabilities and postretirement obligations related to employees of the New England Media Group. The transaction will trigger two adjustments in the accounting for these obligations. First, we will record an estimated pre-tax $50 million gain resulting from a remeasurement and curtailment of postretirement benefits, primarily retiree medical obligations. This gain is primarily related to an acceleration of prior service credits from plan amendments announced in prior years, and is due to a reduction in the expected years of future Company service for employees at the New England Media Group. Second, we expect to withdraw from several multi-employer pension plans, which we expect will trigger withdrawal liabilities that we estimate will result in a charge of approximately $10 to $20 million on a pre-tax basis. The actual liability will not be known until each plan completes a final assessment of the withdrawal liability and issues a demand to the Company.

The accounting requirements to report the net assets of the New England Media Group as held for sale and its operating results as a discontinued operation were not met as of June 30, 2013. Therefore, the operating results of the New England Media Group are reported within continuing operations for the periods ending June 30, 2013, and all prior periods presented.

The estimated carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities included as part of the sale are summarized below:

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

We are a leading global, multimedia news and information company that currently includes newspapers, digital businesses, investments in paper mills and other investments.

We currently have two divisions: The New York Times Media Group , which includes The New York Times (“The Times”), the International Herald Tribune (the “IHT”), NYTimes.com, and related businesses; and the New England Media Group , which includes The Boston Globe (the “Globe”), BostonGlobe.com, Boston.com, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette (the “T&G”), Telegram.com, and related businesses. These divisions generate revenues principally from circulation and advertising. Other revenues primarily consist of revenues from news services/syndication, commercial printing and distribution, rental income, digital archives and direct mail advertising services. Our main operating costs primarily consist of employee-related costs and raw materials, primarily newsprint.

Joint Ventures Our investments accounted for under the equity method are currently as follows:


▪	a 49% interest in Metro Boston LLC (“Metro Boston”), which publishes a free daily newspaper in the greater Boston area;


▪	a 49% interest in a Canadian newsprint company, Donohue Malbaie Inc.; and


▪	a 40% interest in a partnership, Madison Paper Industries, operating a supercalendered paper mill in Maine.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2013, total revenues decreased 0.9% and 1.4%, respectively, compared with the same prior-year periods, driven primarily by declines in advertising revenues, partially offset by growth in circulation revenues.

Compared with the prior-year periods, circulation revenues increased 5.1% in the second quarter and 5.8% in the first six months of 2013, mainly as digital subscription initiatives and the increase in print circulation prices at The Times and the Globe in 2013 offset a decline in print copies sold. Revenues from our digital-only subscription packages, e-readers and replica editions increased 44.1% in the second quarter of 2013 and 51.7% in the first six months of 2013 compared with prior-year periods.

Paid subscribers to digital-only subscription packages, e-readers and replica editions of The Times and the IHT totaled approximately 699,000 as of the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase of approximately 23,000 subscribers from the end of the first quarter of 2013 and an increase of more than 35% year-over-year from the end of the second quarter of 2012. Paid digital subscribers to BostonGlobe.com and the Globe’s e-readers and replica editions totaled approximately 39,000 as of the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase of approximately 7,000 subscribers from the end of the first quarter of 2013 and an increase of nearly 70% year-over-year from the end of the second quarter of 2012. While the growth in the number of net new digital-only subscribers moderated in the second quarter of 2013, in total, paid subscribers to our digital products across our Company were approximately 738,000 as of the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase of nearly 40% year-over-year.

Compared with the prior-year period, total advertising revenues decreased 5.8% in the second quarter of 2013, as print and digital advertising revenues declined 6.8% and 2.7%, respectively. In the first six months of 2013, advertising revenues decreased 8.5% compared with the same prior-year period, as print and digital advertising revenues declined 10.0% and 3.3%, respectively. While the decline in advertising revenues moderated in the second quarter relative to the first quarter of 2013, the advertising marketplace remained challenging. Advertising revenues continue to be affected by ongoing secular trends, economic factors and an increasingly complex and fragmented digital advertising marketplace, particularly as the abundance of available inventory and a shift toward advertising networks and exchanges, real-time bidding and other programmatic buying channels to buy audience at scale have led to downward pricing pressure.

Operating costs decreased 3.1% in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower compensation and benefits costs and raw materials expense. Operating costs decreased 3.7% in the first six months of 2013 compared with the same prior-year period primarily due to lower compensation and benefits costs, depreciation and amortization expense and raw materials expense. We will continue to be diligent in reducing expenses and managing legacy costs going forward, but will also remain prepared to invest where appropriate, especially in light of our strategic initiatives.

As of June 30, 2013 , we had cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities of approximately $918 million and total debt and capital lease obligations of approximately $694 million. Accordingly, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities exceeded total debt and capital lease obligations by approximately $224 million. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased since the end of 2012, due in part to contributions of approximately $68 million to certain qualified pension plans and income tax payments of approximately $50 million during the first six

months of 2013, offset by cash from our current operations. We expect our cash position to improve with the proceeds from the sale of the New England Media Group and our equity interest in Metro Boston. See “Recent Developments” below.

Taking into account an adjustment that reduced our pension benefit obligation, related to an error in the actuarial valuation of accrued benefits, as described below, as well as the recent developments in the interest rate environment, year-to-date asset performance and the pension contributions we made earlier in 2013, we believe that our underfunded status for the qualified plans has improved from the end of 2012 and, as of June 30, 2013, we estimate it to be approximately $150 million on a pre-tax basis. As a result, we do not plan to make any further contributions in 2013 beyond mandatory requirements. Including the $68 million in contributions we made during the first six months of 2013, we expect to make contributions of approximately $75 million in total to our qualified pension plans in 2013.

Our main priorities in 2013 in evaluating our uses of cash will be investing to grow our business, returning to sustainable growth in revenue and profitability and finding opportunities to further de-leverage our balance sheet. Until we have made progress in these areas, we believe it is in the best interests of the Company to maintain a conservative balance sheet and, therefore, we do not believe that this is the appropriate time to restore a dividend.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Strategic Initiatives

In April 2013, we announced plans for certain strategic initiatives, including the next phase in The Times’s digital subscription and paid products strategy, The Times’s international expansion under a new unified brand, and a renewed emphasis on both video production and brand extensions, which we will roll out in the fourth quarter of 2013 into 2014. We estimate operating profit will be negatively affected by $20 to $25 million in 2013 as a result of these initiatives with a modest contribution to revenues while we make significant investments in the growth initiatives. Investments will largely be for product development and subscriber acquisitions, along with new capabilities in product management, customer management and distribution. We expect that the contribution to operating profit connected to these initiatives will become positive in late 2014 and for the full-year 2015.

Prior Period Adjustments

New England Media Group and Our Equity Interest in Metro Boston

As a result of the pending sale of the New England Media Group and our equity interest in Metro Boston, we are not updating our third-quarter and full year 2013 guidance.

Circulation Revenues

Circulation revenues are based on the number of copies of the printed newspaper (through home-delivery subscriptions and single-copy and bulk sales) and digital subscriptions sold and the rates charged to the respective customers. Total circulation revenues consist of revenues from our print and digital products, including digital subscription packages on NYTimes.com and across other digital platforms, BostonGlobe.com and digital subscriptions packages at the IHT.

Circulation revenues increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared with the same prior-year periods mainly due to digital subscription initiatives and the increase in print circulation prices at the Times and the Globe in 2013, offset by a decline in print copies sold. Revenues from our digital-only subscription packages, e-readers and replica editions were $38.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $75.1 million in the first six months of 2013 , an increase of 44.1% and 51.7%, respectively, compared with prior-year periods.

Advertising Revenues

Advertising revenues are primarily determined by the volume, rate and mix of advertisements. During the second quarter and first six months of 2013 , advertising revenues remained under pressure due to ongoing secular trends and economic factors. In addition, the increasingly complex and fragmented digital advertising marketplace contributed to declines in digital advertising revenues. The market for standard Web-based digital display advertising continues to experience challenges due to the abundance of available advertising inventory and a shift toward digital advertising networks and exchanges, real-time bidding and other programmatic buying channels that allow advertisers to buy audience at scale, causing downward pricing pressure.

Total advertising revenues decreased 5.8% in the second quarter of 2013 and 8.5% in the first six months of 2013 compared with the same prior-year periods due to lower print and digital advertising revenues across most advertising categories. Print advertising revenues, which represented approximately 75% of total advertising revenues, declined 6.8% in the second quarter of 2013 and 10.0% in the first six months of 2013 , mainly due to lower national and retail advertising revenues, compared with the same prior-year periods. Digital advertising revenues declined 2.7% in the second quarter of 2013 and 3.3% in the first six months of 2013 , primarily due to declines in the real estate and help-wanted classified advertising categories and in national, compared with the same prior-year periods. During the second quarter of 2013 , total

advertising revenues decreased 2.3% in April, 12.0% in May and 3.5% in June compared with the same prior-year periods in 2012.

Advertising revenues (print and digital) by category were as follows:

The New York Times Media Group

Total advertising revenues decreased in the second quarter and the first six months of 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 due to lower print and digital advertising revenues. Print advertising revenues were affected by declines in advertiser spending in several advertising categories, reflecting the secular transformation of our industry and the uncertain economic environment. These market factors, in addition to an increasingly competitive landscape, also contributed to reduced spending on digital platforms and pricing pressure in digital advertising. Digital advertising revenues declined primarily in the real estate and help-wanted classified advertising categories, offset in part by higher national display advertising revenues during the second quarter of 2013 .

During the second quarter and first six months of 2013 , advertising revenues were affected by declines in total national, retail and classified advertising revenues. In the second quarter of 2013, total national advertising revenues decreased mainly driven by declines in the corporate, advocacy and studio entertainment categories, partly offset by growth in the luxury category. During the first six months of 2013, national advertising revenues decreased mainly driven by declines in studio entertainment, financial services and hotels, partly offset by growth in the luxury category. The uncertain national and local economic conditions continued to negatively affect total retail advertising revenues, as retailers cut spending mainly in the department stores category. Secular changes in our industry coupled with the uncertain economic environment contributed to declines in total classified advertising revenues, primarily in the real estate and help-wanted categories.

New England Media Group

Total advertising revenues declined in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 due to declines in both print and digital advertising revenues. The decline in print advertising revenues was driven by lower advertising in most categories, reflecting secular forces in our industry and the uncertain national and local economic environment. The decrease in digital advertising revenues was mainly due to reduced spending in the national, retail and real estate classified advertising revenues, partially offset by higher automotive classified advertising revenues.

During the second quarter and the first six months of 2013 , total advertising revenues declined primarily due to lower national, retail and classified advertising revenues. Total national advertising revenues decreased primarily due to declines in the corporate and travel categories. The uncertain national and local economic conditions continued to

negatively affect total retail advertising revenues, as retailers cut spending mainly in the department stores category. Secular changes in our industry, coupled with the uncertain economic environment, contributed to declines in total classified advertising revenues, primarily in the real estate and other categories.

Other Revenues

Other revenues primarily consist of revenues from news services/syndication, commercial printing and distribution, rental income, digital archives and direct mail advertising services. Other revenues decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 mainly due to our exit from the education business at the end of 2012 and decreases in commercial printing and distribution revenues.

Operating Costs

Operating costs were as follows:

Total operating costs	$	431,932	$	445,734	(3.1	)	$	874,201	$	907,681	(3.7	)

Production Costs

Production costs decreased in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 mainly due to lower raw materials expense (approximately $5 million), primarily newsprint, benefits expense (approximately $2 million)and outside printing costs (approximately $2 million). Newsprint expense declined 14.9% in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012, with 9.9% from lower consumption and 5.1% from lower pricing. Benefits expense was lower mainly due to a decline in pension costs. Cost-savings from contract negotiations primarily contributed to the decline in outside printing costs.

Production costs decreased in the first six months of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower raw materials expense (approximately $8 million), primarily newsprint, benefits expense (approximately $4 million), outside printing costs (approximately $4 million) and various other costs, offset in part by higher compensation costs (approximately $3 million) due to new hires and annual salary increases. Newsprint expense declined 13.1% in the first six months of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012, with 8.7% from lower consumption and 4.4% from lower pricing. Benefits expense was lower mainly due to a decline in pension costs. Cost-savings from contract negotiations primarily contributed to the decline in outside printing costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Costs

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 primarily due to lower benefits expense (approximately $5 million) and compensation costs (approximately $3 million), offset in part by higher professional fees (approximately $2 million), from an increased use of consulting services, and various other costs. Benefits expense was lower mainly due to a decline in pension costs. Compensation costs decreased mainly due to lower salary and staffing levels.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased in the first six months of 2013 compared with the same prior-year period primarily due to lower compensation costs (approximately $9 million), benefits expense (approximately $6 million) and distribution costs (approximately $3 million) offset in part by higher professional fees (approximately $5 million), from an increased use of consulting services, and various other costs. Compensation costs decreased mainly due

to lower salary and staffing levels. Benefits expense was lower mainly due to a decline in pension costs. Lower distribution costs mainly resulted from a decline in print copies sold.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the first six months of 2013 compared with the first six months of 2012 primarily due to the $6.7 million of accelerated depreciation expense recognized in the first quarter of 2012 for certain assets at the T&G’s facility in Millbury, Mass., associated with the consolidation of most of the T&G’s printing into the Globe’s facility in Boston, which was completed early in the second quarter of 2012.

Non-Operating Items

Joint Ventures

Loss from joint ventures was $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared with income from joint ventures of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower results for the paper mills in which we have an investment.

Loss from joint ventures was $3.4 million in the first six months of 2013 compared with income from joint ventures of $1.1 million in the same period of 2012 primarily due to lower results for the paper mills in which we have an investment.

Gain on Sale of Investment

In the second quarter of 2012, we sold our 210 units in Fenway Sports Group, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $37.8 million. In the first quarter of 2012, we sold 100 of our units in Fenway Sports Group, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $17.8 million. The sales resulted in a pre-tax gain of $55.6 million in the first six months of 2012.

Impairment of Investments

In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.9 million to reduce the carrying value of certain investments to fair value. The impairment charge was primarily related to our investment in Ongo Inc., a consumer service for reading and sharing digital news and information from multiple publishers.

Interest Expense, Net

“Interest expense, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

“Interest expense, net” decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 compared with the same prior-year periods mainly due to the payment at maturity on September 26, 2012, of all $75.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 4.610% senior notes.

Income Taxes

uncertain tax positions and various permanent differences relative to our pre-tax income from continuing operations had an unfavorable impact on the effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2013.

Discontinued Operations

About Group

On September 24, 2012, we completed the sale of the About Group, consisting of About.com, ConsumerSearch.com, CalorieCount.com and related businesses, to IAC/InterActiveCorp for $300.0 million in cash, plus a net working capital adjustment of approximately $17 million. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $96.7 million ($61.9 million after-tax). The net after-tax proceeds from the sale were approximately $291 million.

The results of operations of the About Group, which had previously been presented as a reportable segment, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in 2012.

Regional Media Group

On January 6, 2012, we completed the sale of the Regional Media Group, consisting of 16 regional newspapers, other print publications and related businesses, to Halifax Media Holdings LLC for approximately $140 million in cash. The net after-tax proceeds from the sale, including a tax benefit, were approximately $150 million . The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $23.6 million (including post-closing adjustments recorded in the second and fourth quarters of 2012 totaling $6.6 million).

The 2012 results of operations for the About Group and the Regional Media Group presented as discontinued operations are summarized below.

(1)	The income tax benefit for the Regional Media Group included a tax deduction for goodwill, which was previously non-deductible, triggered upon the sale of the Regional Media Group.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe our cash balance and cash provided by operations, in combination with other sources of cash, will be sufficient to meet our financing needs over the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2013 , we had cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities of approximately $918 million and total debt and capital lease obligations of approximately $694 million. Accordingly, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities exceeded total debt and capital lease obligations by approximately $224 million. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased since the end of 2012, due in part to contributions of approximately $68 million to certain qualified pension plans and income tax payments of approximately $50 million during the first six months of 2013 , offset by cash from our current operations. We expect our cash position to improve with the proceeds from the sale of the New England Media Group and our equity interest in Metro Boston.

Approximately $65 million of our contribution for the first six months of 2013 was made to The New York Times Newspaper Guild pension plan, of which $28 million was estimated to be necessary to satisfy minimum funding requirements in 2013 or contractually required. Including the first six months of contributions, we expect to make total contributions of approximately $75 million in 2013 to our qualified pension plans. In addition, during the second quarter of 2013, we purchased $5.0 million principal amount of our 6.625% senior notes due December 15, 2016 (“6.625% Notes”).

Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash flows (used in)/provided by category were as follows:



	For the Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 30, 2013			June 24, 2012
Operating Activities	$	(26,562	)	$	73,871
Investing Activities	$	(429,862	)	$	41,629
Financing Activities	$	(5,314	)	$	(73	)

Operating Activities

Operating cash inflows include cash receipts from circulation and advertising sales and other revenue transactions. Operating cash outflows include payments for employee compensation, pension and other benefits, raw materials, services and supplies, interest and income taxes.

Net cash used in operating activities increased in the first six months of 2013 compared with the same prior-year period primarily due to higher pension contributions and income tax payments. We made contributions to certain qualified pension plans of approximately $68 million in the first six months of 2013 compared with approximately $24 million in the first six months of 2012 . We also made income tax payments of approximately $50 million in the first six months of 2013 compared with approximately $2 million in the first six months of 2012.

Investing Activities

Cash from investing activities generally includes proceeds from marketable securities that have matured and the sale of assets, investments or a business. Cash used in investing activities generally includes purchases of marketable securities, payments for capital projects, restricted cash subject to collateral requirements primarily for obligations under our workers’ compensation programs, acquisitions of new businesses and investments.

In the first six months of 2013 , net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to net purchases of marketable securities. In the first six months of 2012 , net cash provided by investing activities was mainly due to proceeds from the sale of the Regional Media Group on January 6, 2012, and the sale of 100 of our units in Fenway Sports Group in February 2012 and 210 units in May 2012, offset by net purchases of marketable securities and capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Cash from financing activities generally includes borrowings under third-party financing arrangements, the issuance of long-term debt and funds from stock option exercises. Cash used in financing activities generally includes the repayment of amounts outstanding under third-party financing arrangements, long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

In the first six months of 2013 , net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repurchase of $5.0 million of our 6.625% Notes and repayments of capital lease obligations, offset by funds from stock option exercises. See our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information on our sources and uses of cash.

Restricted Cash

We were required to maintain $22.3 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2013 , subject to certain collateral requirements, primarily for obligations under our workers’ compensation programs.

(1)	Included in “Accrued expenses and other” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Based on borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $819 million as of June 30, 2013 , and $840 million as of December 30, 2012 .

During the second quarter of 2013 , we repurchased approximately $5.0 million principal amount of our 6.625% Notes and recorded a $0.6 million pre-tax charge in connection with the repurchase.

We were in compliance with our covenants under our third-party financing arrangements as of June 30, 2013 .

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our critical accounting policies are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 . As of June 30, 2013 , our critical accounting policies have not changed from December 30, 2012 .

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS & OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 . Other than as described below, as of June 30, 2013 , our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements have not changed materially from December 30, 2012 . Our expected benefit payments, under our pension plans, have been adjusted as a result of the prior period adjustment to correct an error in the actuarial valuation of accrued benefits (See Note 3 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). As adjusted, our contractual obligations with respect to benefit plans are as follows:



	Payment due in
(In thousands)	Total		2013		2014-2015		2016-2017		Later Years
Benefit plans ⁽¹⁾	$	1,239,969	$	115,001	$	231,886	$	243,218	$	649,864

(1)

Includes estimated benefit payments under our Company-sponsored pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Payments for these plans have been estimated over a 10-year period; therefore the amounts included in the “Later Years” column only include payments for the period of 2018-2022. While benefit payments under these plans are expected to continue beyond 2022, we believe that an estimate beyond this period is impracticable. Payments under our Company-sponsored qualified pension plans will be made with existing assets of the pension plans and not with Company cash. Benefit plans in the table above also include estimated payments for multiemployer pension plan withdrawal liabilities.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance.

Any forward-looking statements are and will be based upon our then-current expectations, estimates and assumptions regarding future events and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in any such statements. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements. Factors that we think could, individually or in the aggregate, cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results include those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 , as well as other risks and factors identified from time to time in our SEC filings.
