This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.
Time Inc. (NYSE:TIME) reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Time Inc. President and CEO Rich Battista said, "In the first quarter of 2017, we made important progress on our strategic plan despite continuing challenges with print advertising revenues. We are taking strategic actions and focusing on key initiatives to put the Company on the right course for the future. We are creating a more vibrant and valuable platform for our advertisers and consumers, further enhancing financial flexibility, aggressively reducing our cost base, rationalizing our portfolio and continuing to invest in transformational growth initiatives. Importantly, our Board of Directors' April 28 announcement affirming our strategic plan has removed a major distraction for our people and advertisers. While we have a lot of work to do, Time Inc. is very well positioned to emerge as a winner in the rapidly changing consumer and media marketplace."

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Revenues decreased $54 million or 8% in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $636 million, primarily reflecting declines in Print and other advertising revenues and Circulation revenues, partially offset by growth in Digital advertising revenues, primarily driven by acquisitions. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $10 million adverse impact on Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Revenues would have decreased 6%, including the benefit of acquisitions.
Advertising Revenues decreased $29 million or 8% in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $331 million reflecting a decrease in Print and other advertising revenues, primarily due to fewer advertising pages sold as a result of the continuing secular trend of advertisers shifting advertising spending from print to other media, lower average price per page of advertising sold and fewer issues served to customers, primarily due to a change in frequency. In addition, our print advertising revenues were negatively impacted by the public speculation about the ownership of the Company and the disruption from the reorganization of our advertising sales force. Although the secular print declines are expected to continue, there is encouraging sequential improvement in print advertising in June and in our early booking trends for the third quarter of 2017. Partially offsetting the decrease in our Print and other advertising revenues was a 32% increase in our Digital advertising revenues primarily resulting from the Viant acquisition and growth in Digital advertising revenues relating to programmatic sales, native and branded content advertising, and video. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $3 million adverse impact on Advertising revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Advertising revenues would have decreased 7%.
Circulation Revenues decreased $33 million or 14% in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $205 million as a result of fewer issues served to customers, primarily due to a change in frequency, and the continued shift in consumer preferences from print to digital media. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $6 million adverse impact on Circulation revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Circulation revenues would have decreased 11%.
Other Revenues, which include marketing and support services provided to third parties, book publishing, events and licensing, increased $8 million or 9% in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $100 million, primarily driven by an increase in revenues from content and photo syndication and book publishing, particularly related to bookazines. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $1 million adverse impact on Other revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Other revenues would have increased 10%.

Costs of Revenues and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses decreased $46 million or 7% in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $615 million. The decrease in Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by the benefits realized from previously announced cost savings initiatives, lower printing, production and distribution costs driven by lower paper volume and prices and the removal of the exigent USPS surcharge effective April 10, 2016, that was originally imposed in December 2013, and lower circulation promotional expenses. Additionally, included in Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2 million and $14 million of Other costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments and dispositions for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These costs have been excluded from our Adjusted OIBDA calculation. The stronger U.S. dollar relative to the British pound had a $10 million favorable impact on Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Excluding the impact of U.S. dollar/British pound exchange rate changes, Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses would have decreased 5%.
Restructuring and Severance Costs increased $15 million in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $16 million.
Operating Income (Loss) was a loss of $26 million and $3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in Operating loss was primarily driven by declines in Print and other advertising revenues and Circulation revenues and higher Restructuring and severance costs, partially offset by the benefits of lower Costs of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted OIBDA decreased $20 million in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $23 million, primarily due to higher Operating loss.
Cash Provided By (Used In) Operations increased $67 million in the first quarter of 2017 from the year-earlier quarter to $15 million, primarily due to the benefits of completing buyouts of the leases of our former corporate headquarters and another leased property for $95 million in the first quarter of 2016 and higher collections of Receivables in the first quarter of 2017. These benefits were partially offset by lower domestic net income tax refunds received in the first quarter of 2017.
Free Cash Flow was an outflow of $6 million in the first quarter of 2017 versus an outflow of $87 million for the year-earlier quarter, primarily reflecting improvements in Cash provided by (used in) operations as well as lower Capital expenditures.
On May 10, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.04 per common share to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 31, 2017, payable on June 15, 2017.
Capital Allocation Update
Following a comprehensive review of Time Inc.'s capital allocation, capital structure and operating plan, the Time Inc. Board of Directors today announced a revision to the Company's capital allocation approach. The objective is to provide us with strategic and financial flexibility in order to better focus on investing in growth and at the same time maintaining a strong balance sheet. Beginning this quarter, our quarterly cash dividend has been reduced to $0.04 per share. This change is intended to enable us to de-lever the balance sheet, and move toward the low end of our target leverage range of 2.0x to 2.5x net debt to Adjusted OIBDA.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a cash position of $281 million in Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments and an undrawn revolving credit facility of $497 million.
Updating Guidance Practices
Time Inc. is a company undergoing rapid transformation. For this reason, it is important to focus on longer-term targets and performance. Given this longer-term perspective, the variability of our advertising revenues, and the potential impacts from portfolio rationalization, the Company is modifying its financial guidance approach similar to many other companies in the media sector. Beginning with this earnings release, the Company no longer intends to provide quarterly pacing or an annual revenue outlook. We will continue to offer quarterly insights and key metrics as appropriate. We will also provide our annual outlook for Adjusted OIBDA. The content of our quarterly insights and key metrics may vary quarter-to-quarter depending on what we consider to be relevant at the time.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Time Inc. utilizes Operating income (loss) excluding Depreciation and Amortization of intangible assets ("OIBDA"), Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income (loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its business and its liquidity. We believe that the presentation of these measures helps investors to analyze underlying trends in our business and to evaluate the performance of our business both on an absolute basis and relative to our peers and the broader market. We believe that these measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business and help investors evaluate our liquidity and our ability to service our debt.
Some limitations of OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income (loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free cash flow are that they do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of the Company's business and they involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance.
A general limitation of these measures is that they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and excluded items. OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income (loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company's Operating income (loss), Net income (loss) attributable to Time Inc., Diluted net income (loss) per common share and various cash flow measures (e.g., Cash provided by (used in) operations), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.
In addition, this earnings release includes comparisons that exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes. These comparisons, which are non-GAAP measures, are calculated by assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current year U.S. dollar results by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior year average foreign exchange rates. We believe this provides useful supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our own performance.
