“During the fourth quarter the Company continued to make significant progress against its strategic priorities and we ended 2022 with our highest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA for the year, resulting in significant sequential growth over the prior quarter,” said Michael Reed, Gannett Chairman and Chief Executive Office. “This illustrates the effectiveness of our ongoing cost management program which has enabled us to navigate the near-term volatility and we believe will allow Gannett to realize its long-term growth goals. As a result, we believe we have laid the foundation for strong full year 2023 guidance which includes significant cash flow growth.”
“Importantly, in addition to the results from our cost management efforts, we also continued to see the success of our digitalonly subscription and Digital Marketing Solutions growth strategies. In the fourth quarter revenue from our digital-only paid subscriptions rose 29% year-over-year, as we surpassed 2.0 million digital-only paid subscriptions, and our Digital Marketing Solutions business achieved its third consecutive quarter of sequential core platform revenue growth, while maintaining doubledigit Adjusted EBITDA margins.”
