PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS OPERATING SUMMARY Earnings per diluted share were 91 cents for the first quarter of 2002 versus 85 cents per share on a comparable basis for the first quarter of 2001, a 7% increase, despite continued challenging operating conditions. At the beginning of 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 ("Statement"), which changed the accounting rules for goodwill and intangible assets. The previously reported diluted earnings per share of 66 cents for the first quarter of 2001 included $0.19 per share for goodwill amortization expense, net of tax, that would not have been required had the new Statement been in effect. Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provides additional information on the impact of this new Statement. Operating revenues declined by $50.3 million or 3% for the first quarter mainly due to a decline in newspaper advertising revenues. Operating income decreased by $23.0 million or 5%, on a comparable basis for the first quarter. Newspaper publishing earnings decreased by $31.2 million or 8% for the quarter, on a comparable basis, resulting from a continued decline in advertising revenues partially offset by stringent cost controls and significantly lower newsprint expense. Television earnings, on a comparable basis, were up $8.1 million or 12% for the quarter benefiting from Winter Olympics-related advertising. Net income increased by $18.1 million or 8%, on a comparable basis, reflecting significantly lower interest expense in the period versus the same quarter in 2001. As noted in the pro forma newspaper revenue discussions below, all major ad categories were lower for the quarter. Domestic classified revenues, especially employment advertising, experienced the sharpest decline, although the rate of decline for many of the U.S. newspapers narrowed in the first quarter of 2002. Television revenue comparisons for the first quarter were favorable reflecting solid Winter Olympics-related advertising on the company's NBC-affiliated stations. NEWSPAPERS Reported newspaper publishing revenues declined $61.9 million or 4% for the quarter. Newspaper advertising revenues decreased $51.1 million or 5% for the quarter reflecting generally soft domestic advertising demand. Refer to Note 6 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for Business Segment Information. The tables below provide, on a pro forma basis, details of newspaper ad revenue for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001. Advertising linage and preprint distribution details are also provided below; however, linage and preprint distribution for U.K. publications are not included. This pro forma presentation is defined as operating results as if all properties owned at the end of the first quarter of 2002 were owned throughout the periods presented. The tables and related commentary also include the portion of revenue and linage data for the company's newspapers participating in joint operating agencies. Advertising revenue, in thousands of dollars (pro forma) First Quarter 2002 2001 % Change ----------- ----------- -------- Local $ 428,499 $ 434,841 (1) National 167,056 175,313 (5) Classified 419,663 457,953 (8) ----------- ----------- ----- Total ad revenue $ 1,015,218 $ 1,068,107 (5) =========== =========== ===== Advertising linage, in thousands of inches, and preprint distribution, in millions (pro forma) First Quarter 2002 2001 % Change ----------- ----------- -------- Local 9,049 9,130 (1) National 920 906 1 Classified 13,331 13,138 1 ----------- ----------- -------- Total Run-of-Press linage 23,300 23,174 1 =========== =========== ======== Preprint distribution 2,475 2,436 2 =========== =========== ======== Pro forma newspaper advertising revenues decreased 5% for the quarter. Local ad revenues decreased 1% on a 1% decrease in volume for the quarter. National ad revenues decreased 5% for the quarter on a volume increase of 1%. Classified ad revenues decreased 8% for the quarter on a volume increase of 1%. Revenue results reflect a continuing challenging advertising environment, particularly in the employment advertising category. The company's U.K. operations also experienced softer help-wanted advertising in the first quarter of 2002; however, overall classified results for U.K. properties continue to be stronger than domestic results. USA TODAY advertising revenues declined 9% for the quarter primarily reflecting the continued diminished demand for travel-related advertising. Reported newspaper circulation revenues decreased $2.3 million or less than 1% for the quarter. Pro forma newspaper circulation revenues also decreased less than 1% for the quarter. Pro forma net paid daily circulation for the company's local domestic newspapers was flat for the first quarter, while Sunday circulation was down 1%. USA TODAY reported an average daily paid circulation of 2,209,813 in the ABC Publisher's Statement for the 26 weeks ended March 31, 2002, a 3% decrease over the comparable period a year ago. The decline is primarily due to reduced travel in the U.S. after the events of September 11th. Operating costs for the newspaper segment declined $30.7 million or 3% for the quarter, on a comparable basis, largely due to lower newsprint expense and tight cost controls. Reported newsprint expense decreased by 18% for the quarter as a result of significantly lower prices and a 3% decline in consumption. Newsprint prices for the remainder of 2002 are expected to be significantly lower on average than in 2001. Recent employee count reductions are also expected to benefit cost comparisons in 2002. Excluding the positive impact of SFAS No. 142, newspaper operating income declined $31.2 million or 8% resulting from a continued decline in advertising revenues partially offset by stringent cost controls and significantly lower newsprint expense. The impact of SFAS No. 142 on the newspaper segment was to improve operating income by $47.1 million. TELEVISION Reported television revenues increased $11.6 million or 7% for the first quarter. Television revenues benefited from Winter Olympics- related advertising on our thirteen NBC-affiliated stations. National advertising revenues increased 9% for the quarter while local advertising revenues increased 8%. Operating costs increased $3.5 million or 4% on a comparable basis for the quarter. Excluding the positive impact of SFAS No. 142, television operating income increased by $8.1 million or 12% for the quarter. The impact of SFAS No. 142 on the television segment was to improve operating income by $10.4 million. NON-OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSE/PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES Interest expense was $28.8 million in the first quarter of 2002 versus $80.4 million in the first quarter of 2001 due to significantly lower interest rates and lower debt levels. The daily average commercial paper balance outstanding was $4.5 billion during the first quarter of 2002 and $5.4 billion during the first quarter of 2001. The weighted average interest rate on commercial paper was 1.8% for the first quarter of 2002 and 5.9% for the first quarter of 2001. In March 2002, the company issued $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured global notes. These notes consist of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% notes due 2005, $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% notes due 2007 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% notes due 2012. The net proceeds of the offering were used to pay-down commercial paper borrowings. The company's average borrowing rates are expected to be higher for the remainder of 2002 over the first quarter average due to the fixed rate notes. However, overall interest expense for the second and third quarters of 2002 is expected to be below prior year levels because of the favorable spread in commercial paper borrowing rates and lower debt levels. The company's effective income tax rate was 34.4% for the first quarter of 2002 versus 39.4% for the same period last year, reflecting the adoption of SFAS No. 142 and lower state taxes. On a comparable basis, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 would have been 34.8%. NET INCOME Net income, on a comparable basis, increased $18.1 million or 8% for the quarter, while diluted earnings per share increased to $0.91 from $0.85, a 7% increase. The earnings for the first quarter of 2001 used in these comparisons includes a positive adjustment of $0.19 per share (diluted) for goodwill amortization expense, net of tax, that would not have been required had SFAS No. 142 been in effect that year. The weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2002 totaled 268,546,000, compared to 266,415,000 for the first quarter of 2001. Exhibit 11 of this Form 10-Q presents the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding and the earnings per share for each period. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The company's consolidated operating cash flow (defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization of intangible assets), as reported in the accompanying Business Segment Information, totaled $457.7 million for the first quarter of 2002, compared with $480.7 million for the same period of 2001, a 5% decrease. The operating cash flow results reflect lower newspaper advertising revenues, partially offset by reduced newspaper expenses and an increase in the television segment advertising revenues and earnings. The company's consolidated after-tax cash flow (defined as after-tax income plus depreciation and amortization) increased $11.6 million or 4% reflecting the operating factors discussed above, along with significantly lower interest expense. Capital expenditures totaled $57.8 million for the first three months of 2002, compared to $64.1 million for the first three months of 2001. In March 2002, as discussed above, the company issued $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured global notes in an underwritten public offering. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding commercial paper obligations. In total, the company's long term debt decreased by $230.5 million during the first quarter of 2002, reflecting the pay-down of commercial paper borrowings from operating cash flows. Significantly lower interest rates on commercial paper borrowings contributed favorably to first quarter cash flows. Also in March 2002, the company entered into a $2.775 billion revolving credit agreement providing for up to $1.41 billion in 364-day revolving credit loans and up to $1.365 billion in 5-year revolving credit loans. The company terminated its $3.0 billion revolving credit agreement, and its $1.53 billion revolving credit facility which was due to expire in July 2002. At March 31, 2002, the company had $4.3 billion of credit available under two revolving credit agreements. Under a shelf registration that became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2002, an additional $2.5 billion of unsecured debt securities can be issued. Any proceeds from the sale of such securities could be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital, securities repurchase programs, repayment of long term and short term debt and the financing of future acquisitions. The company may also invest funds that are not required immediately in short term marketable securities. The company's foreign currency translation adjustment, included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reported as part of shareholders' equity, totaled ($126.4 million) at the end of the first quarter versus ($104.9 million) at the end of 2001, reflecting a weakening of Sterling against the U.S. dollar since the end of the year 2001. Newsquest's assets and liabilities at March 31, 2002 were translated from Sterling to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of $1.43 versus $1.45 at the end of 2001. Newsquest's financial results were translated at an average rate of $1.43 for the first quarter of 2002 versus $1.46 for the first quarter of 2001. The company's regular quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share was declared in the first quarter of 2002, totaling $61.5 million and paid on April 1, 2002. In May 2002, the company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share payable on July 1, 2002. OTHER MATTERS Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of new accounting standards and their impact on reporting of earnings beginning in 2002.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2002 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes which are normally included in the Form 10-K and annual report to shareholders. The financial statements covering the 13-week period ended March 31, 2002, and the comparative period of 2001, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of the company, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. 2. Accounting Standards On the first day of its fiscal year, December 31, 2001, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations. On December 31, 2001, the company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which eliminated the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives. The company performed an impairment test of its goodwill and determined that no impairment of the recorded goodwill existed. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if an event occurs which indicates the goodwill may be impaired. The company expects to perform its impairment testing during the fourth quarter on an annual basis. Goodwill and other intangible assets are as follows: (in thousands of dollars) March 31, 2002 Dec. 30, 2001 -------------- ------------- Accumulated Accumulated Cost Amortization Cost Amortization ---------- ------------ ---------- ------------ Amortized intangible assets: Subscriber lists $ 110,000 $ 5,499 $ 110,000 $ 3,666 Unamortized intangible assets: Goodwill 9,724,952 1,178,114 9,758,081 1,180,056 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total $9,834,952 $1,183,613 $9,868,081 $1,183,722 ========== ========== ========== ========== As of March 31, 2002, Newspaper goodwill, net of amortization, was $7.0 billion and Television goodwill, net of amortization, was $1.5 billion. Amortization expense for subscriber lists was $1.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Subscriber lists are amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. For each of the next five years, amortization expense relating to the identified intangibles is expected to be $7.3 million. As required by SFAS 142, the results for the first quarter of 2001 have not been restated. A reconciliation of net income for that period and a comparison to the first quarter of 2002, as if SFAS 142 had been adopted at the beginning of 2001, is presented below. Thirteen weeks ended (dollars in thousands) March 31, 2002 April 1, 2001 -------------- ------------- Reported net income $243,563 $174,545 Add back: goodwill amortization, net of tax 50,910 -------- -------- Adjusted net income $243,563 $225,455 ======== ======== Basic earnings per share: Reported net income $0.92 $0.66 Goodwill amortization, net of tax 0.19 ----- ----- Adjusted net income $0.92 $0.85 ===== ===== Diluted earnings per share: Reported net income $0.91 $0.66 Goodwill amortization, net of tax 0.19 ----- ----- Adjusted net income $0.91 $0.85 ===== ===== 3. Long-term debt In March 2002, the company issued $1.8 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured global notes in an underwritten public offering. These notes consist of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% notes due 2005, $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% notes due 2007 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% notes due 2012. The net proceeds of the offering were used to pay- down commercial paper borrowings. The company also entered into a $2.775 billion revolving credit agreement in March 2002 which consists of a $1.41 billion 364-day facility which extends to March 2003 and a $1.365 billion 5-year facility which extends to March 2007. At the end of the 364-day period, any borrowings outstanding under the 364- day credit facility are convertible into a one-year term loan at the company's option. During the first quarter of 2002, the company terminated its $3.0 billion revolving credit agreement. The company also terminated its $1.53 billion 364-day revolving credit facility which was due to expire in July 2002 and under which any outstanding borrowings were convertible into a two-year term loan. At December 30, 2001, the company had $6.06 billion of credit available under two revolving credit agreements. At March 31, 2002, the company had $4.3 billion of credit available under two revolving credit agreements. Under a shelf registration that became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2002, an additional $2.5 billion of unsecured debt securities can be issued. Any proceeds from the sale of such securities could be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital, securities repurchase programs, repayment of long term and short term debt and the financing of future acquisitions. The company may also invest funds that are not required immediately in short term marketable securities. Approximate annual maturities of long-term debt, assuming that the company had used the $4.3 billion revolving credit agreements to refinance existing unsecured promissory notes on a long-term basis and assuming the company's other indebtedness was paid on its scheduled pay dates, are as follows: In thousands March 31, 2002 -------------- 2003 $ 0 2004 36,096 2005 2,128,944 2006 21,442 2007 2,060,016 Later years 603,065 -------------- Total $ 4,849,563 ============== 4. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income for the company includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available- for-sale securities, as defined under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Comprehensive income totaled $221.7 million for the first quarter of 2002 and $107.0 million for the first quarter of 2001. Net income totaled $243.6 million and other comprehensive losses totaled $21.9 million for the first quarter of 2002. Net income totaled $174.5 million and other comprehensive losses totaled $67.5 million for the first quarter of 2001. Other comprehensive income and losses relate to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for- sale securities, net of tax. The other comprehensive losses were net of deferred income tax benefits of $13.4 million for the first quarter of 2002 and $41.4 million for the first quarter of 2001. 5.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The company is not subject to market risk associated with derivative commodity instruments, as the company is not a party to any such instruments. The company believes that its market risk from financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt, is not material. The company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk primarily due to its operations in the United Kingdom, which use Sterling as their functional currency, which is then translated into U.S. dollars.
