Consolidated Results
First quarter net revenues decreased 6.4%, or $50 million, to $734 million over the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in net revenues reflected a 8.0% decline at National Networks and essentially flat revenues at International and Other. Operating income was $173 million, a decrease of 29.4%, or $72 million, versus the prior year period. The decrease reflected a 22.4% decline in operating income at National Networks and an increase of $6 million in operating loss at International and Other. Adjusted Operating Income1 was $222 million, a decrease of 24.1%, or $71 million, versus the prior year period. Results reflected a 21.4% decrease at National Networks and a decrease of $2 million at International and Other.
First quarter net income was $69 million ($1.22 per diluted share), compared with $143 million ($2.48 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2019. EPS primarily reflected the decrease in operating income as well as an increase in miscellaneous expense, net. Miscellaneous expense, net primarily reflected an unfavorable variance in foreign currency transaction gains and losses. First quarter Adjusted EPS1 was $82 million ($1.47 per diluted share), compared with $152 million ($2.64 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted EPS primarily reflected a decrease in adjusted operating income as well as an increase in miscellaneous expense, net.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $198 million, an increase of $27 million versus the prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of a decrease in working capital partially offset by a decrease in adjusted operating income. Free Cash Flow1 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $182 million, an increase of $38 million versus the prior year period. The increase primarily reflects the increase in net cash provided by operating activities as well as a decrease in capital expenditures and distributions to noncontrolling interests.

National Networks
National Networks principally consists of the Company’s five nationally distributed programming networks, AMC, BBC AMERICA, IFC, SundanceTV and WE tv; and AMC Studios, the Company’s television production business.
National Networks revenues for the first quarter 2020 decreased 8.0% to $567 million, operating income decreased 22.4% to $195 million, and adjusted operating income decreased 21.4% to $218 million, all compared to the prior year period.
First quarter revenues reflected a 10.8% decrease in advertising revenues to $213 million. The decrease in advertising revenues principally related to lower delivery as well as the timing of the airing of original programming partially offset by higher pricing. Distribution revenues decreased 6.2% to $354 million. The decrease in distribution revenues was attributable to a decrease in subscription and content licensing revenues.
First quarter operating income and adjusted operating income reflected the decrease in revenues and an increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to higher legal and marketing expenses.
International and Other
International and Other principally consists of AMC Networks International, the Company’s international programming business; AMC Networks SVOD, the Company’s targeted subscription streaming services, Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now and UMC (Urban Movie Channel); Levity Entertainment Group, the Company’s production services and comedy venues business; and IFC Films, the Company’s independent film distribution business.
International and Other revenues for the first quarter of 2020 decreased 0.3% to $170 million, operating loss increased $6 million to a loss of $19 million, and adjusted operating income decreased $2 million to $8 million, all compared to the prior year period.
First quarter revenues primarily reflected an increase at AMC Networks SVOD offset by a decrease at the Company’s international programming networks. To a lesser extent, revenues also decreased at IFC Films and Levity Entertainment.
First quarter operating income and adjusted operating income reflected the decrease in revenues and an increase in operating expenses. Operating income also reflected an increase in depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other related charges.
Other Matters
COVID-19
As previously disclosed in the 8-K filed March 27, 2020, the impact of COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread are affecting the Company’s businesses in a number of ways. Beginning in mid-March, the Company experienced adverse advertising sales impacts and suspended content production, which has led to delays in the creation and availability of some of its television programming. Operationally, nearly all Company employees are working remotely, and the Company has restricted business travel. The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its consolidated financial statements. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of any adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on, among other things, the duration and spread of the pandemic, the impact of governmental regulations that have been, and may continue to be, imposed in response to the pandemic, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain or mitigate the outbreak, and global economic conditions. Although the effect of the pandemic may not be fully reflected in the Company’s business until future periods, the Company believes that the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be material to its results of operations. The Company does not expect the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic impact to affect its liquidity position or its ongoing ability to meet the covenants in its debt instruments.
3
Stock Repurchase Program
As previously disclosed, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding shares of common stock. The Company will determine the timing and the amount of any repurchases based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, and other factors. The stock repurchase program has no pre-established closing date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares for $86 million. From April 1, 2020 through May 1, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 688,000 additional shares for $17 million. As of May 1, 2020, the Company had $386 million available under its stock repurchase authorization.
Debt Redemption
As previously disclosed, on March 4, 2020, the Company redeemed $200 million of the outstanding $600 million principal amount of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2022. In connection with this redemption, the Company recorded a charge of $3 million related to a loss on the extinguishment of debt.
Please see the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 for further details regarding the above matters.
Description of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, cloud computing amortization, share-based compensation expense or benefit, impairment and related charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses), restructuring and other related charges, and including the Company’s proportionate share of adjusted operating income (loss) from majority owned equity method investees. Because it is based upon operating income (loss), Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of the business without regard to the effect of the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash.
The Company believes that Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the business segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors, analysts and peers to compare performance in the industry.
Internally, the Company uses net revenues and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) measures as the most important indicators of its business performance, and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Since Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. For a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), please see page 8 of this release.
The Company defines Free Cash Flow (“Free Cash Flow”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and cash distributions to noncontrolling interests, all of which are reported in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure of its liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful as an indicator of its overall liquidity, as the amount of Free Cash Flow generated in any period is representative of cash that is available for debt repayment, investment, and other discretionary and non-discretionary cash uses. The Company also believes that Free Cash Flow is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its liquidity with other companies in the industry, although the Company’s measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, please see page 9 of this release.
4
The Company defines Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings per diluted share excluding the following items: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; impairment and related charges (including gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses); non-cash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets; restructuring and other related charges; and gains and losses related to the extinguishment of debt; as well as the impact of taxes on the aforementioned items. The Company believes the most comparable GAAP financial measure is earnings per diluted share. The Company believes that Adjusted EPS is one of several benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its performance with other companies in the industry, although the Company’s measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. For a reconciliation of earnings per diluted share to Adjusted EPS, please see page 10 of this release.
