1 OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by total operating revenues. Both OIBDA and OIBDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the accompanying financial tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income and OIBDA margin to operating income margin.
2 Net cash position is defined as cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments less interest bearing liabilities
Boris Podolsky, Acting Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer of CTC Media, commented, "Our first quarter total revenues were up 15% year-on-year in US dollar terms and 19% in Ruble terms. This included 14% year-on-year growth in our Russian advertising sales in ruble terms with a stable blended power ratio. OIBDA was up 38% year-on-year with an increased margin of 28.8% in the first quarter.
"The Russian TV advertising market is estimated to have grown by up to 10% year-on-year in the first quarter, so we clearly took market share following substantial year-on-year increases in the ratings for our Domashny and Peretz Networks, which recorded all-time high target audience shares. In addition, we benefited from rising prices in the period. We also generated substantially higher sublicensing and own production revenues due to the sale of successful CTC channel premiere shows to broadcasters in Ukraine.
"Our CIS Group revenues were up 40% year-on-year in US dollar terms, which primarily reflected the high sellout ratio for Channel 31 in Kazakhstan. Our content has now become more broadly available following the uplinking in February of the CTC-International pay-TV channel to the HOT BIRD satellite, which provides access to countries in Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, and we have just made the channel available in Kyrgyzstan. The number of unique daily visitors to our Videomore online video platform was up 26% quarter-on-quarter, and our recently launched Domashny-branded portal for women has already established itself as one of the ten most visited female online portals in Russia.
"We have continued to invest in in-house content production, programming acquisition, our operations and the expansion of the overall businesses in the quarter and will continue to do so. We paid out a quarterly cash dividend of $20.6 million in the first quarter and ended the quarter with net cash of $111.0 million. As previously announced, we intend to pay out further dividends of the same amount in each of the remaining quarters of 2012, which is in line with our stated intention to return surplus free cash flow to shareholders.
"Our Russian channels are now approximately 85% sold out for 2012 at higher average prices than last year. We will continue to invest and do therefore continue to expect the OIBDA margin for the full year to be lower than the adjusted level for 2011."
Operating Review
Share of Viewing
Average Audience Shares (%)
Q1 2011 Q4 2011 Q1 2012
CTC Network (all 6-54) 11.2 10.6 11.0
CTC Network (all 14-44) 12.0 11.2 12.1
Domashny Network (females 25-59) 2.8 3.3 3.7
Peretz Network (all 25-59) 2.0 2.0 2.6
Channel 31 (all 6-54) 14.8 15.7 14.5
The CTC Network was the third most-watched broadcaster in Russia in the first quarter of 2012, up from the fourth most-watched in the first quarter of 2011, while its average target audience share was slightly down year-on-year to 11.0% from 11.2%, reflecting increased competition and continued audience fragmentation. At the same time, CTC's target audience share in prime time (from 7pm until 11pm) was up year-on-year in the first quarter to 12.5% from 12.3%, reflecting the success of the premieres launched in 2012. CTC Network's average audience share in the most commercially attractive "all 14-44" demographic was also up year-on-year in the first quarter to 12.1% from 12.0%.
The Domashny Network recorded its all-time high quarterly target audience share of 3.7% in the first quarter of 2012, up from 2.8% in the first quarter of 2011. The significant year-on-year increase was primarily driven by success of the Turkish historical drama series "Magnificent Century" and supported by the strong overall programming schedule.
The Peretz Network also recorded its all-time high quarterly target audience share of 2.6% in the first quarter of 2012, up from 2.0% in the first quarter of 2011. The year-on-year growth was primarily driven by success of the programming schedule introduced following the channel's repositioning, which primarily included locally produced entertainment shows.
As previously announced, starting from January 1, 2012, the target audiences of the Domashny and Peretz Networks have been slightly adjusted as part of a standardization of advertising inventory that is taking place in the Russian television industry. Thus, Domashny's target audience has been modified from "females 25-60" to "females 25-59"; Peretz's target audience has been modified from "all 25-54" to "all 25-59".
Channel 31's average target audience share was slightly down year-on-year in the first quarter to 14.5% from 14.8%.
Revenues
Three months
Ended March 31,
(US$ 000's) 2011 2012 Change
Operating revenues:
Advertising revenue $ 163,105 $ 180,669 11%
Sublicensing and own production revenue 1,862 9,241 396%
Other revenue 574 1,210 111%
Total operating revenues $165,541 $191,120 15%
Total operating revenues were up 15% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 19% year-on-year in ruble terms in the first quarter. This primarily reflected the year-on-year target audience shares growth for Domashny and Peretz Networks and growth of the Russian television advertising market, as well the increase in sublicensing and own production revenue.
Russian advertising sales accounted for approximately 92% of total operating revenues during the first quarter of 2012 (Q1 2011: 97%) and were up 10% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 14% year-on-year in ruble terms. Advertising prices were up year-on-year in the period and so was the level of television viewership, which resulted in the overall increase of the advertising inventory on the market. Sellout of CTC Media's Russian TV channels national inventory was lower year-on-year in the first quarter at 95% (Q1 2011: 98%).
The Company's sublicensing and own-production revenue was up approximately five-fold year-on-year in the first quarter in US dollar terms, primarily due to higher sales of content to broadcasters in Ukraine, including the sales of the first-run shows launched on the CTC channel in the first quarter 2012.
Other revenue was up 111% year-on-year in US dollar terms in the first quarter 2012, primarily reflecting sustained revenue growth from CTC-International.
For the first quarter of 2012, the Company generated revenues of approximately $0.5 million from its new media projects, most of which related to advertising sales on the Videomore.ru. For reporting purposes, the new media revenues were allocated to the CTC, Domashny and Peretz networks' advertising revenues.
Three Months
Ended March 31,
(US$ 000's) 2011 2012 Change
Operating revenues by segment1:
CTC Network $ 108,293 $ 124,633 15%
Domashny Network 19,748 22,876 16%
Peretz Network 12,671 15,680 24%
CTC Television Station Group 17,859 17,793 --
Domashny Television Station Group 2,629 3,485 33%
Peretz Station Television Group 1,054 1,469 39%
CIS Group 3,079 4,308 40%
Production Group 22 33 50%
CTC-international 186 843 353%
Total operating revenues $165,541 $191,120 15%
1 Segment revenues are shown from external customers only, net of intercompany revenues of $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, primarily related to revenues from the Production Group that have been eliminated in the consolidation of the Company's revenues.
The higher level of year-on-year growth in first quarter revenues for the Peretz and Domashny Networks and Television Station Groups compared to the CTC Network and Television Station Group was due to their year-on-year audience share gains.
The CIS Group, which accounted for 2% of revenues in the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, reported 40% year-on-year increase in sales in US dollar terms. This primarily reflected higher sellout for Channel 31 in Kazakhstan.
Expenses
Total operating expenses were up 9% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 13% in ruble terms in the first quarter. This primarily reflected the year-on-year increases in programming amortization costs, direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, though these increases were partially offset by the year-on-year decrease in stock-based compensation expenses.
Three Months
Ended March 31,
(US$ 000's) 2011 2012 Change
Operating expenses:
Direct operating expenses $10,710 $11,859 11%
Selling, general & administrative expenses 37,696 42,728 13%
Stock-based compensation expenses 6,219 2,911 -53%
Amortization of programming rights 70,738 75,759 7%
Amortization of sublicensing rights and own production cost 314 2,735 771%
Depreciation & amortization 3,936 5,157 31%
Total operating expenses $129,613 $141,149 9%
Direct operating expenses increased by 11% year-on-year in US dollar terms and by 14% in ruble terms in the quarter, largely as a result of increased transmission fees and broadcasting expenses relating to regional stations acquired after Q1 2011.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were up 13% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 17% year-on-year in ruble terms in the first quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher advertising and promotion expenses, higher selling expense as a result of increased Russian advertising sales, and increased salaries and benefits. Compensation payable to Video International, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses, amounted to $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Stock-based compensation expenses totaled $2.9 million in the quarter (Q1 2011: $6.2 million). The year-on-year decrease in stock-based compensation expenses principally resulted from the departure of the Company's former CEO at the end of 2011, as a result of which his options ceased to vest.
Programming expenses were up 7% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 11% in ruble terms in the first quarter, primarily reflecting a more expensive content mix on Domashny Network, CTC Network and Channel 31 in Kazakhstan.
Sublicensing and own production costs totaled $2.7 million in the first quarter (Q1 2011: $0.3 million). The year-on-year increase reflected the year-on-year growth in corresponding revenues.
CTC Media's consolidated OIBDA was therefore up 38% year-on-year in US dollar terms to $55.1 million in the first quarter (Q1 2011: $39.9 million). OIBDA margin was up year-on-year to 28.8% in the first quarter of 2012 from 24.1% in the first quarter of 2011.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were up 31% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up 35% year-on-year in ruble terms in the quarter. The increase was primarily due to the launch of the new digital broadcasting complex in Moscow in July 2011.
Net interest income was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2012 (Q1 2011: $1.4 million). Foreign currency loss was $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2012 (Q1 2011: foreign currency gain of $1.1 million).
Pre-tax income therefore increased by 32% year-on-year to $50.9 million in the first quarter (Q1 2011: $38.6 million).
CTC Media's effective tax rate was 34% in the first quarter (Q1 2011: 39%). The year-on-year decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to decreases, as a percentage of consolidated income before tax, in stock based compensation expense, and the recognition of certain foreign tax credits that will be deducted from the US income tax.
Net income attributable to CTC Media, Inc. stockholders therefore was up 43% to $32.6 million in the first quarter (Q1 2011: $22.8 million), and fully diluted earnings per share increased to $0.21 (Q1 2011: $0.14).
Cash Flows
The Company's net cash flow from operating activities totaled $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2012 (Q1 2011: $12.3 million) and reflected the net effect of increased advertising sales, higher cash spend on acquisition of programming and sublicensing rights and increased trade accounts receivable.
Net cash provided by activities totaled $23.3 million in the first quarter (Q1 2011: $26.8 million) and included $3.0 million of capital expenditures (mainly purchases of cable connections and leasehold improvements for the new Company's office facilities in Moscow) and $26.3 million of net cash received from deposits in Russian banks.
Cash used in financing activities amounted to $15.8 million in the first quarter (Q1 2011: $21.4 million) and primarily reflected the payment of $20.6 million in cash dividends to the Company's stockholders and $0.5 million in dividends to minority shareholders of the Company's subsidiaries, partially offset by $4.6 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options by the Company's former CEO.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to $129.5 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $129.6 million at December 31, 2011 and to $163.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011.
Dividends
The CTC Media Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.13 per share (or approximately $21 million in the aggregate) to be paid on or about June 20, 2012 to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2012, with further dividends anticipated in the remaining quarters of 2012. The Board of Directors currently intends to pay aggregate cash dividends of approximately $80 million in 2012. While it is the Board's current intention to declare and pay further dividends in the remaining quarters of 2012, there can be no assurance that such additional dividends will be declared and paid. The lower anticipated payments in 2012 than in 2011 reflect the increased investments that the Company is making and plans to make in programming and in the overall development of the business during 2012. All dividend payments are subject to the discretion of the Board, which will consider factors such as CTC Media's earnings, financial position and capital allocation requirements as a growth company before formally approving each quarterly dividend.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: OIBDA (on a consolidated and segment basis) and OIBDA margin. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the accompanying financial tables included at the end of this release.
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results. These metrics are used by management to further its understanding of the Company's operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. The Company also believes that these metrics provide investors and equity analysts with a useful basis for analyzing operating performance against historical data and the results of comparable companies.
OIBDA and OIBDA margin. OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization (exclusive of amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by total operating revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP measures to OIBDA and OIBDA margin are operating income and operating income margin, respectively. Unlike operating income, OIBDA excludes depreciation and amortization, other than amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights. The purchase of programming rights is the Company's most significant expenditure that enables it to generate revenues, and OIBDA includes the impact of the amortization of these rights. Expenditures for capital items such as property, plant and equipment have a materially less significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues. For this reason, the Company excludes the related depreciation expense for these items from OIBDA. Moreover, a significant portion of the Company's intangible assets were acquired in business acquisitions. The amortization of intangible assets is therefore also excluded from OIBDA.
Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release that are not based on historical information are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These statements reflect the Company's current expectations concerning future results and events. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of CTC Media to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future results to differ from those expressed by forward-looking statements include, among others, changes in the size of the Russian television advertising market; the continued successful operation of the Company's own internal sales house structure; competitive pressures; depreciation of the value of the Russian ruble compared to the US dollar; the Company's ability to deliver audience share, particularly in primetime, to its advertisers; free-to-air television remaining a significant advertising forum in Russia; and restrictions on foreign involvement in the Russian television business. These and other risks are described in the "Risk Factors" section of CTC Media's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012, and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC on or about the date hereof.
