GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Graham Holdings Company (the Company), is a diversified education and media company. The Company’s Kaplan subsidiary provides a wide variety of educational services, both domestically and outside the United States. The Company’s media operations comprise the ownership and operation of cable systems and television broadcasting (through the ownership and operation of
six
television broadcast stations).
On April 11, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into an exchange agreement that will result in the disposal of WPLG, its Miami-based television station. The operating results of WPLG have been presented in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented.
Basis of Presentation
– The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information; (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q; and (iii) the guidance of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are
more than 50%
owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. As permitted under such rules, certain notes and other financial information normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented herein. The Company’s results of operations for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2014
and
2013
may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2013
.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes the reclassification of the results of operations of certain businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
– The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.
Assets Held for Sale
– An asset or business is classified as held for sale when (i) management commits to a plan to sell the asset or business; (ii) the asset or business is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) the asset or business is actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price; (iv) the sale is expected to be completed within one year; and (v) it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The assets and related liabilities are aggregated and reported separately in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
–
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance that modifies the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The new guidance requires the reporting of the disposal of an entity or component of an entity as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. The new guidance also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 11, 2014, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. announced that they have signed an agreement for Berkshire to acquire a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that includes WPLG, the Company's Miami-based television station, a number of Berkshire shares currently held by the Company and an amount of cash in exchange for approximately
1.6 million
shares of Graham Holdings Class B common stock currently owned by Berkshire. The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2014.
On October 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale of most of its newspaper publishing businesses. The publishing businesses sold include The Washington Post, Express, The Gazette Newspapers, Southern Maryland Newspapers, Greater Washington Publishing, Fairfax County Times and El Tiempo Latino and related websites (Publishing Subsidiaries).
In March 2013, the Company completed the sale of The Herald which resulted in a pre-tax loss of
$0.1 million
that was recorded in the first quarter of
2013
.
The results of operations of WPLG, the Publishing Subsidiaries and The Herald are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax, for all periods presented. The assets of WPLG have been classified on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as assets held for sale as of
March 31, 2014
. The Company did not reclassify its Statements of Cash Flows or prior Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to reflect the various discontinued operations.
The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets included in assets held for sale at
March 31, 2014
are as follows:

was made to reduce the
$100.0 million
after-tax gain on the sale of the Publishing Subsidiaries previously reported in the fourth quarter of 2013, as a result of changes in estimates related to liabilities retained as part of the sale.

On April 11, 2014, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. announced that they have signed an agreement for Berkshire to acquire a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that includes WPLG, the Company's Miami-based television station, a number of Berkshire shares currently held by the Company and an amount of cash in exchange for approximately
1.6 million
shares of Graham Holdings Class B common stock currently owned by Berkshire. The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2014.
The specific number of shares of each company and the amount of cash will be determined on the closing date based on certain factors, including the market prices of the shares of both companies at that time. The transaction is subject to FCC approval and other customary conditions. In addition, there are certain termination rights relating to minimum trading prices of the stock of each company immediately prior to closing and to a minimum value of the television station for purposes of the transaction on the closing date.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
12
The Company's unvested restricted stock awards contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The diluted earnings per share computed under the two-class method is lower than the diluted earnings per share computed under the treasury stock method, resulting in the presentation of the lower amount in diluted earnings per share. The computation of the earnings per share under the two-class method excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.
The following reflects the Company's income from continuing operations and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method:

Defined Benefit Plan Assets.
The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of a relatively small number of stocks and high-quality fixed-income securities that are held by a third-party trustee. The assets of the Company’s pension plan were allocated as follows:
As of
March 31,
2014
December 31,
2013
U.S. equities
59
%
58
%
U.S. fixed income
13
%
12
%
International equities
28
%
30
%
100
%
100
%
Essentially all of the assets are actively managed by
two
investment companies. The goal of the investment managers is to produce moderate long-term growth in the value of these assets, while protecting them against large decreases in value. Both of these managers may invest in a combination of equity and fixed-income securities and cash. The managers are not permitted to invest in securities of the Company or in alternative investments. The investment managers cannot invest more than
20%
of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Berkshire Hathaway or more than
10%
of the assets in the securities of any other single issuer, except for obligations of the U.S. Government, without receiving prior approval by the Plan administrator. As of
March 31, 2014
, the managers can invest no more than
24%
of the assets in international stocks, at the time the investment is made, and no less than
10%
of the assets could be invested in fixed-income securities.
None
of the assets is managed internally by the Company.
14
In determining the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. In addition, the Company may consult with and consider the input of financial and other professionals in developing appropriate return benchmarks.
The Company evaluated its defined benefit pension plan asset portfolio for the existence of significant concentrations (defined as greater than
10%
of plan assets) of credit risk as of
March 31, 2014
. Types of concentrations that were evaluated include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country and individual fund. At
March 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the pension plan held common stock in
one
investment that exceeded
10%
of total plan assets. This investment was valued at
$429.1 million
and
$382.1 million
at
March 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively, or approximately
18%
and
16%
, respectively, of total plan assets. Assets also included
$219.5 million
and
$208.4 million
of Berkshire Hathaway common stock at
March 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively. At
March 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the pension plan held investments in
one
foreign country that exceeded
10%
of total plan assets. These investments were valued at
$447.0 million
and
$398.9 million
at
March 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively, or approximately
19%
and
17%
, respectively, of total plan assets.
Other Postretirement Plans.

12. CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Legal Matters.
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of the legal claims and proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Also, based on currently available information, management is of the opinion that the exposure to future material losses from existing legal proceedings is not reasonably possible, or that future material losses in excess of the amounts accrued are not reasonably possible.
ED Program Reviews.
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) undertakes program reviews at Title IV participating institutions. Currently, there are
three
open program reviews, including Broomall, PA, as the Company is awaiting the ED’s final program review report. The Company does not expect the final program review reports to have a material impact on KHE; however, the results of these open reviews and their impact on Kaplan’s operations are uncertain.
The 90/10 Rule
. Under regulations referred to as the 90/10 rule, a KHE school would lose its eligibility to participate in Title IV programs for a period of at least
two
fiscal years if the institution derives more than 90% of its receipts from Title IV programs, as calculated on a cash basis in accordance with the Higher Education Act and applicable ED regulations, in each of two consecutive fiscal years. An institution with Title IV receipts exceeding
90%
for a single fiscal year would be placed on provisional certification and may be subject to other enforcement measures. The 90/10 rule calculations are performed for each OPEID unit. KHE is taking various measures to reduce the percentage of its receipts attributable to Title IV funds, including modifying student payment options; emphasizing direct-pay and employer-paid education programs; encouraging students to carefully evaluate the amount of their Title IV borrowing; eliminating some programs; cash-matching; and developing and offering additional non-Title IV-eligible certificate preparation, professional development and continuing education programs,
some of which programs were acquired by certain KHE campuses in 2013 from other Kaplan businesses. Absent the adoption of the changes mentioned above, and if current trends continue, management estimates that in
2014
,
three
of the KHE Campuses’ OPEID units, representing approximately
1.7%
of KHE’s
2013
revenues, could have a 90/10 ratio over 90%. As noted above, Kaplan is taking steps to address compliance with the 90/10 rule; however, there can be no guarantee that these measures will be adequate to prevent the 90/10 ratio at some of the schools from exceeding 90% in the future.
13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has
six
reportable segments: Kaplan Higher Education, Kaplan Test Preparation, Kaplan International, cable, television broadcasting and other businesses.
Television Broadcasting.
In April 2014, the Company announced it has entered into an agreement to sell WPLG, a television station serving the Miami market. WPLG results are included in discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented. The television broadcasting segment operating results have been restated to reflect this change.

Kaplan Higher Education (KHE) includes Kaplan’s domestic postsecondary education businesses, made up of fixed-facility colleges and online postsecondary and career programs. KHE also includes the domestic professional training and other continuing education businesses
.
In 2012, KHE began implementing plans to close or merge 13 ground campuses, consolidate other facilities and reduce its workforce. In connection with these and other plans, KHE incurred
$9.1 million
in restructuring costs in the
first
quarter of
2013
, including accelerated depreciation (
$3.6 million
), severance (
$0.9 million
), lease obligation losses (
$3.7 million
) and other items (
$0.9 million
).
At the end of 2013, the KHE campus closures or mergers had been largely completed, though two campuses remain to be closed in the first half of 2014. In April 2014, KHE announced plans to close two additional ground campuses that will be completed by the end of 2015.
20
In the
first
quarter of
2014
, KHE revenue declined
7%
due largely to declines in average enrollments that reflect weaker market demand over the past year, lower average tuition and the impact of closed campuses.
KHE operating income increased in the
first
quarter of
2014
due largely to expense reductions associated with lower enrollments and recent restructuring efforts, as well as significant restructuring costs recorded in the first quarter of 2013.
New student enrollments at KHE increased
7%
in the
first
quarter of
2014
due to growth at Kaplan University, offset by the impact of closed campuses.
Total students at
March 31, 2014
, were down
2%
compared to
March 31, 2013
, but increased
9%
compared to
December 31, 2013
.
Excluding campuses closed or planned for closure, total students at
March 31, 2014
, were down
1%
compared to
March 31, 2013
, but up
10%
compared to
December 31, 2013
.

KTP revenue declined
2%
for the
first
quarter of
2014
.
Enrollment increased
2%
for the
first
quarter of
2014
due to growth in health and bar review programs, offset by declines in graduate programs.
KTP operating results declined in the first
three
months of
2014
due largely to decreased revenues.
Kaplan International includes English-language programs and postsecondary education and professional training businesses largely outside the United States.
Kaplan International revenue increased
10%
in the
first
quarter of
2014
due to enrollment growth in the pathways programs, English-language and Singapore higher education programs.
Kaplan International operating income improved in the
first
quarter of
2014
due to improved earnings in the pathways and English-language programs.
Kaplan corporate represents unallocated expenses of Kaplan, Inc.’s corporate office, other minor businesses and certain shared activities.
Kaplan continues to evaluate its cost structure and may develop additional restructuring plans in 2014.
Cable
Cable division revenue increased
2%
in the
first
quarter of
2014
to
$203.9 million
, from
$200.1 million
for the
first
quarter of
2013
. The revenue increase for the first
three
months of
2014
is due to growth of the division's Internet and commercial sales revenues, recent rate increases for many subscribers and a reduction in promotional discounts.
The increase was partially offset by a 2% decline in total customers and a 4% decline in total PSUs, as the cable division continues to increase its focus on high-value customers and decrease its focus on marginal customers.
Cable division operating income grew
12%
in the
first
quarter of
2014
to
$41.2 million
, from
$36.6 million
in the
first
quarter of
2013
. The division’s operating income improved in the first
three
months of
2014
due to increased revenues and tight cost controls that resulted in a small reduction in overall operating costs.
At
March 31, 2014
, total customers were down 2% and Primary Service Units (PSUs) were down
4%
due to a decline in video subscribers.
PSUs include about
6,100
subscribers who receive free basic cable service, primarily local governments, schools and other organizations as required by various franchise agreements.
A summary of

Television Broadcasting
Revenue at the television broadcasting division increased
24%

first
quarter of
2014

; operating income for the
first
quarter of
2014
was up
52%
to
$44.4 million
, from
$29.1 million
in the same period of
2013
. The increase in revenue and operating income is due to a
$3.1 million
increase in political advertising revenue,
$9.5 million
in incremental winter Olympics-related advertising revenue at the Company's NBC affiliates and
$4.7 million
in increased retransmission revenues.
As discussed above, the television broadcasting operating results exclude WPLG, the Company's Miami-based television station, which has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Corporate office includes the expenses of the Company’s corporate office, the pension credit for the Company's traditional defined benefit plan and certain obligations related to prior business dispositions.
In the first quarter of 2014, the corporate office implemented a Separation Incentive Program that resulted in early retirement program expense of
$4.5 million
, which will be funded from the assets of the Company pension plan. Excluding early retirement program expense, the total pension credit for the Company's traditional defined benefit plan was
$22.4 million
and
$9.2 million
in the first quarter of
2014

2014
was
37.1%
, compared to
41.5%

results mostly from losses in Australia for which no tax benefit is recorded.
Discontinued Operations
On April 11, 2014, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. announced that they have signed an agreement for Berkshire to acquire a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that includes WPLG, the Company's Miami-based television station, a number of Berkshire shares currently held by the Company and cash in exchange for approximately
1.6 million
shares of Graham Holdings Class B common stock currently owned by Berkshire.
The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2014.
As a result, income from continuing operations excludes WPLG, which has been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented.
The specific number of shares of each company and the amount of cash will be determined on the closing date based on certain factors, including the market prices of the shares of both companies at that time. The transaction is subject to FCC approval and other customary conditions. In addition, there are certain termination rights relating to minimum trading prices of the stock of each company immediately prior to closing and to a minimum value of the television station for purposes of the transaction on the closing date.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share

March 31, 2014
, there were
7,401,499
shares outstanding and the Company had remaining authorization from the Board of Directors to purchase up to

shares of Class B common stock.
Kaplan Higher Education (KHE) Regulatory Matters
The Department of Education (ED) convened a negotiated rulemaking committee in September 2013 to consider a new gainful employment rule that is expected to go into effect in July 2015. On March 25, 2014, the ED released a final draft regulation. The new proposed regulation requires that each educational program meet certain debt-to-earnings ratios and programmatic level loan cohort default rate metric. Programs that fail one of these proposed metrics multiple years in a row would become ineligible for Title IV aid. The proposed rule also includes revised requirements for program approval, public disclosure on certain outcomes (graduation, placement, repayment rates, and other consumer information) and a “certification” requirement that each program is included in the school’s accreditation grant and has programmatic level accreditation if required for licensure in the occupation. A new final regulation published on or before November 1, 2014, generally would have an effective date of July 1, 2015, although the ultimate effective date is unknown at this time. The Company cannot predict the ultimate timing or substance of gainful employment regulations, nor can the Company fully predict the impact on Kaplan programs or institutions. Moreover, some of the data needed to compute program eligibility under the final draft regulation are not readily accessible; graduate incomes would be compiled by the Social Security Administration. In addition, the continuing eligibility of programs for Title IV funding may be affected by factors beyond Kaplan’s control, such as changes in the actual or deemed income level of its graduates, changes in student borrowing levels, increases in interest rates, changes in the U.S. Federal poverty income level relevant for calculating one of the proposed metrics and other factors. As a result, the ultimate outcome of gainful employment regulation and its impact on Kaplan’s operations is uncertain. The proposed regulation could cause Kaplan to eliminate or limit enrollments in certain educational programs at some or all of its schools, could result in the loss of student access to Title IV programs and could have a material adverse impact on KHE revenues, operating income and cash flows.

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
For more information about these forward-looking statements and related risks, please refer to the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its business due primarily to its ownership of marketable equity securities, which are subject to equity price risk; to its borrowing and cash-management activities, which are subject to interest rate risk; and to its foreign business operations, which are subject to foreign exchange rate risk. The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its
2013
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K have not otherwise changed significantly.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer) and the Company’s Senior Vice President-Finance (the Company’s principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of
March 31, 2014
. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
March 31, 2014
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
