Grupo Clarín Announces Full Year and Last Quarter 2021 Results

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2022 / Grupo Clarín S.A. ("Grupo Clarín" or the "Company") (LSE:GCLA)(BCBA:GCLA), the largest media company in Argentina, announced today its Full Year and Last Quarter 2021 results. Figures in this report have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (*) ("IFRS") as of December 31, 2021 and are stated in Argentine Pesos ("Ps"), unless otherwise indicated.

(*) The Company's Management has applied IAS 29 in the preparation of these financial statements (inflation adjustment) because Resolution 777/18, issued by the Comisión Nacional de Valores ("CNV"), establishes that the restatement will be applied to the financial statements.

Highlights (2021 vs. 2020):

  • Total Revenues reached Ps. 40,149.3 million, a decrease of 0.2% in real terms compared to 2020, mainly due to higher advertising revenues in the Broadcasting and Programming segment (partially offset by lower programming revenues) and lower circulation and printing revenues in the Digital and Printed Publications segment.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (1) reached Ps. 6,239.9 million, an increase of 27.4% compared to 4,898.8 for 2020, mainly driven by higher advertising revenues in Broadcasting and Programming and costs reductions in real terms greater than the decrease in revenues in the Digital and Printed Publications segment.
  • Grupo Clarín's Adjusted EBITDA Margin(2) was 15.5% in 2021, compared to 12.2% in 2020.
  • Net Income for the period totaled Ps. 1,064.7 million, a change of -251.7% compared to a loss of Ps. 702.0 million reported in 2020. Net Income for the period attributable to Equity Shareholders amounted Ps 1,039.0 million in 2021 from a loss Ps. 414.1 million in 2020, a change of -350.9%.

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as Total Revenues minus cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and selling and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of our performance. It is commonly used to analyze and compare media companies based on operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, an indication of our financial performance, an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of liquidity. Other companies may compute Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner; therefore, Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as we report it.

(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA over Total Revenues.
