Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On May 4, 2009, we released information regarding results of operations for the year-to-date period
ended March 31, 2009. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.03.
The discussion and the information contained in the press release contain certain forward-looking
statements related to the company’s businesses that are based on our current expectations.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, trends, and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking
statements. Such risks, trends and uncertainties, which in most instances are beyond our control,
include changes in advertising demand and other economic conditions; consumers’ tastes; newsprint
prices; program costs; labor relations; technological developments; competitive pressures; interest
rates; regulatory rulings; and reliance on third-party vendors for various products and services.
The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, which are as of the date of this
filing, should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances
after the date the statement is made.
