FAIRFAX MEDIA LIMITED INVESTOR DAY 2013
SYDNEY, 6 June, 2013: Fairfax Media Limited [ASX:FXJ] is holding an Investor Day in Sydney today. The event will be webcast (fxj.com.au to register) and the presentation pack is lodged with the ASX. Chief Executive Officer, Greg Hywood, will make the following introductory comments: Good morning everyone and welcome to the Fairfax Media Investor Day. It’s great to have so many of our investors with us here in Sydney today – and many more of you joining via webcast. I’d also like to welcome the many analysts that cover Fairfax. We have a full program today. You will hear from senior management from our newly created Australian Publishing Media division, from Fairfax Radio, Stayz and Domain. We are focused on delivering detail and transparency in relation to our activities. Throughout the day, we will be discussing what we are doing at Fairfax to lead the change in the media sector, to transform our business and deliver strong returns to shareholders. We’re leading the change because Fairfax is a media company that fully understands the complexity of the issues that we are facing. You’ve heard me say before that Fairfax will never be about using the profits of good businesses to cross-subsidise poor performing assets. We have been very clear that we will not produce unprofitable newspapers – and we stand by that. You will hear today that we are committed to delivering the transition of this company from a legacy print business to a media company that prospers in a competitive market. We are confronting reality; and we are taking the actions that we need to take to get through a period of transition, and implement a very different business model. We have done much good work. But we all know the transition is going to take some years. Today is about bringing you up to speed with where we are and where we are headed. This can be looked at in a series of stages. The first stage – which commenced a few years ago – started with the recognition that the changes that we were facing in our print businesses were predominantly structural, although they have been exacerbated by cyclical weakness. It was this recognition that prompted us to reshape as a truly multi-media business, bringing our print and digital resources in content and in sales together. This represented a revolution in the way we worked. By committing to the transition from print to digital we were able to put in place a program – the Fairfax of the Future program that we announced early last year, that will deliver $251 million in annualised savings by June 2015. What we are going to be talking to you about today is the next stage of our transition. What we are doing now is leading the change in the media sector by taking our multi-media, cross-platform business and simplifying it, making it lean and agile.

So what are we doing to make our business “lean”? A fundamental initiative is the consolidation of our core publishing activities into our new Australian Publishing Media division. The formation of APM allows us to reduce duplication through a more ordered grouping of our businesses and activities, and to drive additional revenue by leveraging our core business – news, business media, lifestyle and community media. We are becoming more agile by breaking out our digital businesses into freestanding units that have the support, resources and – most importantly – the autonomy needed to deliver on their potential. Our presenters today will be talking in detail about the new structure, what it means for our operations, and how the structure empowers them to lead the change in the media sector. One important outcome of the restructure is that it will allow us to deliver an additional $60 million in savings by the end of September, this September, over and above the $251 million that we have previously set out. The savings will come from reducing duplication right across our business, but with an emphasis on minimising the impact on content and sales. We expect that the majority of the charges associated with implementing these changes will be accommodated within our existing provision. On top of the $60 million, we have commenced a product review – a step-by-step review of what we produce, what we do ourselves and what we can do differently – to deliver even more savings. This is a major exercise – Fairfax publishes 431 publications and 337 websites, we have 7 radio stations and almost 100 apps. We will provide an update on the progress of this review with the full-year result in August. However – before speculation runs rampant – let me make one thing clear. We do not have any intention to reduce the frequency of print publication of any of our major mastheads in the foreseeable future. Why? Because they are profitable. The additional $60 million announced today is net of inflators and therefore represents a direct benefit to earnings – albeit in a challenging environment. Ongoing cost management is now in our DNA. We understand that analysts currently expect a cost inflator of around 2.75% to apply to the fixed costs of our business over the longer term. As part of our cost transformation over the next three years we are seeking to variabilise as much of our cost base as possible, and one objective of this program is to reduce the cost inflator below inflation. Staff and on-costs comprise around half of Fairfax’s cost base, with paper and production costs and other fixed costs – such as rent – making up the remainder. Initiatives are underway in each of these areas to meet our objective of reducing the cost inflator. While cost reduction is very important – our future success is of course reliant on our ability to generate revenue. During the course of today you are going to hear about many of the revenue initiatives that are underway. Allen Williams, the Managing Director of our Australian Publishing Media division, will be outlining the domestic launch details of our new digital subscription arrangements, while

Garry Linnell, Director of News Media, will explain how we’ve restructured our newsrooms to deliver timely content to our audiences across the day. Ed Harrison, our Group Sales Director, will be talking about revenue opportunities available through better use of data. Ed will talk about the investment we are making – in terms of both systems and human resources – to deliver advertisers greater insight into our audience, and more tailored, higher value, advertising opportunities. We can also see new revenue opportunities in Content Marketing – meaning greater use of our content in third party environments, including provision of content for third-party websites. You’ll also hear from our newly-appointed Director of Life Media, Melina Cruickshank, who will talk about how we’re monetising our extensive portfolio of lifestyle-related assets. We are leveraging our mastheads and powerful brands in the growing business of Events. Already we have $23 million of events-related revenue and we see opportunities to expand these activities further. Brett Clegg, Director of Business Media, will touch on the recent brand extensions that he has led in the business media portfolio. Adam Lang, Managing Director of Fairfax Radio Network, will provide an update on the performance turnaround that’s underway in our radio business. When it comes to digital transactions – Stayz and RSVP are both market-leading businesses generating strong margins, and you’ll hear from the Stayz General Manager, Anton Stanish later this morning. We have a proven track record of growing smaller digital businesses. In the future, we will continue to look at these businesses and new opportunities in terms of both value and earnings. Today, Tony Blamey and I will be providing a financial breakdown of our Domain division for the first time. You will see that we are a force to be reckoned with in the real estate advertising sector in this country – with exposure to more than $300 million of Real Estate-related revenue. We believe that we have the brand, the expertise and the commitment to really build this business – and we invite you to make your own judgments about Domain’s value and the opportunity ahead. A common theme in each of the presentations today will be that Fairfax has acted decisively as we have reshaped our operations – with the goal of developing a business model that is appropriate for the structural issues and market conditions that we face. We are committed to continue to make all necessary decisions to achieve this goal. Before I ask Allen Williams to discuss how the Australian Publishing Media division is leading the change, I will provide an update on current trading conditions. In a nutshell, conditions remain pretty tough. Consistent with previous advice – in the current half, up to the third week of May, overall group revenues are 9-10% lower than the previous corresponding period. Taking a look at our segments, which will update after our full-year results, Metro Media is tracking down 11%, Regional down 11% as a result of very difficult conditions in mining-related areas and Queensland, New Zealand is 4% behind, while Broadcasting is ahead more than 10%. Domain’s digital business is up 16%.

We’re expecting to report a second half FY13 EBITDA in the range of $129-$135 million. I will now ask Allen Williams – who recently returned to Sydney to head up the Australian Publishing Media division after four years leading our New Zealand business – to provide some insights into the structure of his new division, and the revenue and cost initiatives that are currently underway.

April 2013: AFR m-site re-launch
Digital subscription revenue As print circulation continues to decline (~7% YoY), expanding the base of digital subscriptions has been critical in maintaining revenues
The strategic decision to lower the digital only price point for subscription by almost half and to include digital access with print subscriptions in FY12 has meant a short term sacrifice in ARPU but has allowed an expansion in paid audience that will provide a more secure platform for the future
Dec 2011: Price reduction Digital subscription price reduced. Print subscribers rewarded with digital access.
May 2012: AFR iPad app launch
Financial Review paid digital subscriptions
26,707 Paid digital subscribers up 52% YoY (May 2013)
