The New York Times Company Reports Second-Quarter 2024 Results

  • Digital advertising revenues increased 7.8 percent year-over-year largely as a result of higher revenues from display advertising at The Athletic and The New York Times Group (“NYTG”).
  • Other revenue increased 4.9 percent year-over-year as a result of higher Wirecutter affiliate referral and licensing revenues.
  • Operating costs increased 2.0 percent and adjusted operating costs (defined below) increased 4.4 percent year-over-year, largely as a result of higher journalism, product development and general and administrative expenses.
  • Operating profit increased 42.4 percent year-over-year to $79.4 million, while adjusted operating profit (defined below) increased 13.6 percent year-over-year to $104.7 million, primarily as a result of higher digital subscription revenues partially offset by higher adjusted operating costs.

Meredith Kopit Levien, president and chief executive officer, The New York Times Company, said, “It was a strong second quarter for The Times – one in which we made further progress on the path to grow our subscriber base and become the essential subscription for every curious person seeking to understand and engage with the world. The combination of our world-class news destination plus market-leading lifestyle products means we have complementary offerings in big spaces, each with multiple growth levers fueling multiple revenue streams. Together we believe these make The Times resilient in a changing media landscape and well positioned for continued value creation.”

Greater Resources Required to Mount an Aggressive Fight to Overturn Postal Rate Hike

Dear Industry Executive: We have heard from some companies about their willingness to underwrite our strong opposition to the PRC’s granting of additional rate authority to the US Postal Service. We still need additional funding. Otherwise, we’re in for draconian rate hikes throughout the next decade that could push all of us out of the mail. What Your Pledge Will Help Us Do: 1. A branded digital campaign to activate and engage catalog merchants, industry employees, suppliers, and the millions of catalog shoppers who rely on and benefit from our industry. We will launch a simple constituent outreach tool for widespread use to motivate elected officials with template-driven email and text tools. The tool will also provide all details, op-eds and other materials to both whip up support and be an online destination that will drive pick-ups, retweets and interest beyond catalog-only interests. 2. Aided by the digital campaign, an aggressive effort to convince lawmakers in Washington to pass sensible postal reform legislation that addresses the massive congressionally-imposed cost overhangs that plague the postal system and are the causal factor in the PRC’s ruling. 3. File a lawsuit in the US Court of Appeals challenging the Postal Regulatory Commission’s (PRC) overreach that clearly exceeds its authority to make such sweeping and fundamental changes to the rate-setting system.
