Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $59.5 million, up 15% Year-over-Year

MCLEAN, VA — November 2, 2023 — Gannett Co., Inc. ("Gannett", "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") (NYSE: GCI) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

"In the third quarter, we drove significant improvement to our bottom line, along with sustained growth in both Adjusted EBITDA(1) and total digital revenues. Furthermore, for the third consecutive quarter, we achieved a sequential improvement in same-store revenues(1). Our financial results for the third quarter reflect the continued progress on our strategy and our resilience in successfully navigating a challenging operating environment for our advertising clients. The positive momentum observed in our key financial metrics underscores our relentless effort to execute on our strategy, which we believe will result in long term sustainable revenue and profit growth, along with much lower debt levels", said Michael Reed, Gannett Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"We remain focused on improving profitability, improving revenue trends through digital revenue growth, and debt repayment. In the third quarter we repaid $65 million of debt, which combined with our Adjusted EBITDA(1) growth, reduced our first lien net leverage to below 2.0x. We also maintained a strong liquidity position with $109 million of cash at the end of the third quarter. Equally important, total digital revenues surpassed 40% of total revenues, growing 3% year-over-year on a same store basis(1). We expect this trend of digital revenue growth to continue into the fourth quarter of 2023."

"We continue to focus on and expand our partnerships to generate new digital and affiliate revenues. Our recent agreements with Jackpocket and Red Ventures bring the total number of executed partnerships to four, which we believe will allow us to expand our audience and create additional monetization opportunities."

"Our progress and results in 2023 serve as a testament to the strength of our strategy, prudent cost management, and our seasoned management team. We've shown resilience across various operating environments, and as a result, we are confident in our ability to navigate any near-term volatility and drive sustained, long-term value for our shareholders. As you may expect, no evolution from an analog business to a digital business is a straight line. We are making substantive progress on our evolution in key areas."

"We expect 2023 will be a good year by most measures that are critical to our strategy. Importantly, we expect to end the year with overall revenue trend improvement, growth in both total digital revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, significant free cash flow generation, meaningful debt reduction, and first lien net leverage below 2.0x. With our continued execution we expect to improve on all these areas in 2024 and beyond, and remain optimistic about creating sustainable growth and significant value for our shareholders."
