- Average full year target audience shares up year-on-year for all three
Russian networks with highest ever shares for Domashny and DTV
- Acquisition of 8 regional stations in 6 Russian cities
- Year-on-year increases in technical penetration of CTC,

respectively
- Launch of CTC international channel in North America in December 2009
Anton Kudryashov, Chief Executive Officer of CTC Media, commented: "Weoutperformed the Russian TV advertising market throughout 2009 and further
increased our audience and advertising market shares. Our Russian advertising
revenues were up 2% year-on-year in ruble terms in the fourth quarter and
down only 3% for the full year, despite the impact of the economic recession
on advertising budgets. This compares with an estimated 12% decline for the
Russian TV advertising market in the fourth quarter and an 18% decline for
the full year. We also managed to keep our underlying organic operating cost
base flat year-on-year in ruble terms for the full year while, at the same
time, raising the technical penetration and target audience shares of all
three of our Russian networks. This efficient cost control enabled us to
deliver underlying OIBDA margins of 48% in the quarter and 42% for the full
year, when excluding non-recurring items."
"Approximately 85% of our forecast full year 2010 Russian national
inventory has now already been booked under forward contracts at
approximately the same average prices as in 2009. The pricing environment is
currently showing signs of improvement moving forward for later in the year
and, while we do not expect to repeat the level of market outperformance that
we achieved in 2009, our target audience shares have continued to grow so far
in 2010. As indicated previously, we are also now substantially increasing
our investments in the programming schedules and network coverage of our DTV
and Domashny channels, in order to unlock their considerable future
development potential."
"We are a growth company and are therefore committed to investing in the
development and expansion of our operations. The cash dividend declared by
our Board demonstrates our philosophy to return an appropriate amount of cash
to shareholders when we do not need all of the cash we are generating for
investments in the future growth of the business."

Total operating
revenues $187,349 $180,507 -3.7% $640,171 $506,113 -20.9%
Total operating revenues were down 4% year-on-year in the fourth quarter
and 21% for the full year in US dollar terms, which reflected the
year-on-year decline in the advertising markets, as well as the weakening of
the Company's principal operating currency (the Russian ruble) against its US
dollar reporting currency. This depreciation had a negative impact of
approximately 8% on the Company's ruble-denominated sales in the fourth
quarter and 21% for the full year 2009. In ruble terms, total operating
revenues were up 4% year-on-year in the quarter and were approximately flat
for the full year. 2009 results include full year contributions from DTV
Group in Russia and Channel 31 Group in Kazakhstan for the first time,
following the acquisition of both businesses during the first half of 2008.
CTC Media's Russian advertising sales accounted for 94% of fourth quarter
and full year 2009 revenues and were up 2% year-on-year in the quarter and
down only 3% for the full year in ruble terms. This compared with an
estimated 12% year-on-year decline in the Russian TV advertising market in
the fourth quarter and an 18% decline for the full year, according to Video
International. The Company reported increased target audience viewing shares
and advertising market shares both in the quarter and for the full year.
The CIS Group, which accounted for 2% of full year revenues, reported a
25% year-on-year decline in sales in the fourth quarter but 1% growth for the
full year. This reflected the mixed impact of higher advertising rates and
sellout ratios, lower audience shares, the year-on-year depreciation of the
Kazakh tenge against the US dollar, and the fact that Channel 31 in
Kazakhstan was acquired and consolidated only from the first quarter of 2008.
Channel 31 generated over 90% of CIS Group revenues in the quarter and for
the full year.

Each of the Russian networks delivered higher average target audience shares for the full year 2009 than in 2008, primarily reflecting further improvements in programming performance.
The flagship CTC Network's average target audience share was up
year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, and the 13.5% average target audience
share for November 2009 was the highest monthly average achieved since June
2006. Major audience share drivers in the fourth quarter included new seasons
of the 'Daddy's Girls' comedy series, as well as the premiers of 'Margosha',
which is based on the Argentine 'LaLola' format, and the 'Voroniny' comedy
series, which is based on hit U.S. format 'Everybody Loves Raymond'.
Domashny's target audience share was also up year-on-year in the fourth
quarter and for the full year following the continued success of long-running
series such as 'Atlantida' and 'Desperate Housewives', which were supported
by a high-rating line-up of movies and documentaries. New locally produced
comedy sketch show 'One for All' was launched in November 2009 and attracted
solid viewing shares in its key access prime-time weekday slot.
The DTV channel has been focused on the 25-54 year-old target audience
group since January 2009, and its average share of viewing in this target
group grew on a full-year basis following the success of the locally produced
'Marital Fiction' show and the late prime-time slots for Russian and foreign
criminal investigation and action series.
The decline in Channel 31's audience share was primarily due to changes in the TNS audience measurement panel and the introduction of stricter local language programming requirements. Channel 31 did however maintain its position as the second-most watched channel in Kazakhstan in its target demographic, "all 6-54".

Total operating
expenses $327,319 143,787 -56.1% $605,990 353,638 -41.6%
Total operating expenses, before non-recurring items, were up 2%
year-on-year in the fourth quarter in US dollar terms and up 10% for the same
period in Russian ruble terms, which primarily reflected the year-on-year
increase in programming amortization costs and direct operating expenses.
Total operating expenses, before non-recurring items, were down 18%
year-on-year for the full year in US dollar terms but up 4% in Russian ruble
terms, which reflected the year-on-year depreciation of the Russian ruble and
Kazakh tenge, the Company's principal operating currencies, against the US
dollar reporting currency.
Organic operating expenses were up 13% year-on-year in ruble terms for the fourth quarter and flat for the full year. The increase in organic operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2009 was due to the same factors mentioned above.
Direct operating expenses were up 43% year-on-year in the fourth quarter
but flat for the full year in US dollar terms. The increase in the fourth
quarter primarily reflected $4.8 million of stock-based compensation expenses
arising from the granting of options in October and December 2009 under the
Company's 2009 Stock Incentive Plan.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were down 16% year-on-year
in the fourth quarter and down 23% for the full year in US dollar terms when
excluding a one-off stock-based compensation expense of $28.6 million. That
one-off expense relates to a payment made under a share appreciation rights
agreement with the Company's former CEO and Board member Alexander Rodnyansky
in settlement of legal actions brought by the Company against Mr. Rodnyansky,
which was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Total stock-based compensation expenses were $36.0 million in the fourth quarter (Q4 2008: $4.2 million) and $47.6 million for the full year (2008: $16.1 million).
Programming expenses were up 2% year-on-year in the fourth quarter but down 19% for the full year in US dollar terms. The year-on-year increase in programming costs in the fourth quarter reflected a relatively more expensive programming mix. The decrease in programming costs for the full year reflected the depreciation of the Russian ruble against the US dollar reporting currency, as well as changes made to the amortization rates for certain types of Russian-produced programming in order to better reflect anticipated revenue generation patterns. These changes resulted in a $5.9 million year-on-year reduction in amortization expenses for the full year.
Sublicensing and own production costs were up 33% year-on-year in the
fourth quarter but down 19% for the full year. In the fourth quarter, the
increase in sublicensing and own production costs reflected the increase in
the corresponding revenues. The decrease in the amortization of sublicensing
rights and own production costs when comparing full-year 2009 to 2008 was due
primarily to the decreased cost of internally produced series and sitcoms
sold to a third party in Ukraine. The decrease in cost was due primarily to
the depreciation of the Russian ruble against the US dollar.
As a result of the latest annual year-end asset impairment test, the Company has reported an $18.7 million non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2009. The charge related to the impairment of a number of local broadcasting licenses in Russia resulting from a re-weighting of the cities in the TNS audience measurement panel.
CTC Media recognized an aggregate $232.7 million non-cash intangible asset impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2008, of which $95.6 million related to the broadcasting licenses and trademarks of DTV Group in Russia, $132.9 million related to the broadcasting licenses and goodwill balances of Channel 31 in Kazakhstan, and $4.2 million related to the licenses of the broadcasting group in Moldova. The impairments reflected the changes in market conditions and revisions to the outlooks for the businesses compared to when the assets were acquired.
Consolidated adjusted OIBDA was $87.4 million in the fourth quarter (Q4 2008: $96.5 million) and $211.3 million for the full year (2008: $280.2 million). The Company therefore reported an adjusted OIBDA margin of 48.4% in the quarter (Q4 2008: 51.5%) and 41.7% for the full year (2008: 43.8%).
Group depreciation and amortization charges decreased by 13% year-on-year to $3.3 million in the quarter (Q4 2008: $3.8 million) and by 14% to $11.5 million for the full year (2008: $13.4 million) and adjusted consolidated operating income totaled $84.0 million in the quarter (Q4 2008: $92.7 million) and $199.8 million for the full year (2008: $266.9 million).
Net interest income was $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to a net interest expense of $2.0 million in the same period of 2008, while net interest expenses fell 73% year-on-year to $0.9 million (2008: $3.2 million) for the full year following scheduled repayments on the Company's US$135 million syndicated loan in 2008 and 2009.
Adjusted pre-tax income therefore grew by 18% year-on-year to $87.6 million in the fourth quarter (Q4 2008: $74.3 million) and totaled $196.0 million for the full year (2008: $237.1 million).
The adjusted effective tax rate in 2008 was 21% for the full year and 2%
for the fourth quarter including the one-off impact on the Company's deferred
taxes assets and liabilities of the decrease in the statutory income tax
rates in Russia (from 24% to 20%) and Kazakhstan (from 30% to 20%) from the
beginning of 2009, which resulted in the recognition of a $19.0 million
income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2008. Net of this impact, the
adjusted effective tax rate in 2008 would have been 29% for the full year and
28% for the fourth quarter. The lower adjusted effective tax rate of 24% in
the fourth quarter and 25% for the full year of 2009 primarily reflected the
decrease in statutory tax rates effective from January 1, 2009. The tax rate
also includes the $2.0 million accrual of tax payments that will fall due in
2010 on the $40 million of dividend payments to be paid in 2010.
Adjusted net income attributable to CTC Media, Inc. stockholders
therefore decreased year-on-year to $64.5 million in the fourth quarter (Q4
2008: $64.6 million) and amounted to $144.0 million for the full year (2008:
$176.1 million). Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.41
in the quarter (Q4 2008: $0.41) and $0.91 for the full year (2008: $1.11).Cash Flow
The Company's net cash flow from operating activities totaled $132.9 million for the full year 2009 (2008: $185.9 million) and reflected the net effect of lower advertising sales and lower spending for programming and sublicensing rights in 2009. The cash flow from operating activities was impacted by the $29.4 million cash payment made in December 2009 in part settlement of litigation brought by CTC Media against its former CEO.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $81.7 million for the full year 2009 (2008: $419.0 million) and included the acquisition of regional television stations in Russia for a total cash consideration of $14.6 million, $11.0 million of earn-out payments related to the acquisitions of the Costafilm and Soho Media companies in 2008, purchases of equipment and software for the Company's new digital broadcasting center in Moscow and $39.8 million of cash placed in short-term deposits.
Cash used for financing activities amounted to $62.5 million for the full year (cash provided by financing activities for 2008: $20.6 million). This included a $62.0 million part repayment of the Company's $135 million syndicated loan, which was drawn down in July 2008 in order to finance the acquisition of DTV Group. Also, in 2009, the Company received $3.4 million in proceeds from exercise of share appreciation rights by its former CEO.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to $123.5.4 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $98.1 million at the end of 2008.
Borrowings
The Company's total borrowings and accrued interest amounted to $28.3
million at the end of the year, compared to $90.6 million at the end of 2008.
The Company therefore had a net cash position, which is defined as cash and
cash equivalents and short-term deposits less interest-bearing liabilities,
of $95.2 million at the end 2009, compared to a net cash position of $7.5
million at the end of 2008. The Company intends to repay the remaining $28.3
million balance under its $135 million syndicated loan facility on March 22,
2010.
Dividends
The CTC Media Board of Directors has announced its intention to pay an
aggregate of $40 million in cash dividends in 2010. The payment of the first
installment of $0.065 per outstanding share of common stock, or $10 million
in total, has been approved by the Board. The record date for this first
installment is March 10, 2010 and the payment date is March 31, 2010. The
Board has also announced its intention to pay the three remaining $10 million
installments in each of June, September and December 2010. While it is the
Board's current intention to declare and pay these three future installments,
there can be no assurance that such installments will in fact be declared and
paid. Any such declaration is at the discretion of the Board and will depend
upon factors such as CTC Media's earnings, financial position and cash
requirements.
2010 Outlook
CTC Media has now contracted approximately 85% of its forecast full year
2010 Russian national inventory under forward contracts at approximately the
same average price levels as in 2009. CTC Media expects to continue to
outperform the Russian advertising market in 2010, but not by the level
achieved in 2009. The pricing environment is currently showing signs of
improvement moving forward for later in the year and CTC Media's target
audience shares have continued to grow so far in 2010.
CTC Media is also substantially increasing its investments in the
development of the DTV and Domashny channels in 2010, and will invest
throughout the year to further enhance the programming schedules and expand
the coverage of these two networks, in order to significantly accelerate
their development. As a result of these and other investments, the Company's
operating expenses are expected to increase by approximately 15% for the full
year based on average 2009 ruble / dollar exchange rates, when excluding the
non-recurring impairment charges and stock-based compensation expenses in
2009. The year-on-year increase in operating expenses is expected to be
significantly weighted to the first half of the year. CTC Media's capital
expenditures are expected to reach up to $40 million in 2010 as a result of
the establishment of a unified digital play-out facility in Moscow, the
ongoing digitalization of the Company's content library, the upgrading of
broadcasting equipment and the planned move to a new principal office
location in Moscow.
Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call to discuss its 2009 fourth quarter and full year financial results today, Friday, February 26, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. ET (5:00 p.m. Moscow time, 2:00 p.m. London time). To access the conference call, please dial +1 718 247 0886 (US/International) or +44(0)20-7806-1968 (UK/International). The pass code for the call is 2189494. A live webcast of the conference call will also be available via the investor relations section of the Company's corporate web site - http://www.ctcmedia.ru/investors. The webcast will also be archived on the Company's web site for two weeks.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: OIBDA (on a consolidated and segment basis), OIBDA margin and the adjusted measures described below. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the accompanying financial tables included at the end of this release.
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results. These metrics are used by management to further its understanding of the Company's operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. The Company also believes that these metrics provide investors and equity analysts with a useful basis for analyzing operating performance against historical data and the results of comparable companies.
OIBDA and OIBDA margin. OIBDA is defined as operating income before
depreciation and amortization (exclusive of amortization of programming
rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by
total operating revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP measures to OIBDA
and OIBDA margin are operating income and operating income margin,
respectively. Unlike operating income, OIBDA excludes depreciation and
amortization, other than amortization of programming rights and sublicensing
rights. The purchase of programming rights is the Company's most significant
expenditure that enables it to generate revenues, and OIBDA includes the
impact of the amortization of these rights. Expenditures for capital items
such as property, plant and equipment have a materially less significant
impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues. For this reason, the
Company excludes the related depreciation expense for these items from OIBDA.
Moreover, a significant portion of the Company's intangible assets were
acquired in business acquisitions. The amortization of intangible assets is
therefore also excluded from OIBDA.
Adjusted financial measures. As described above, in the fourth quarter of
2008, CTC Media recognized an aggregate $232.7 million non-cash charge for
impairment of certain intangible assets acquired in connection with three
acquisitions made in 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2009, CTC Media
recognized a $18.7 million charge arising from the impairment of the
broadcasting licenses of certain regional owned-and-operated stations in
Russia and a $28.6 million stock-based compensation expense in conjunction
with the previously announced settlement of litigation brought by CTC Media
against its former CEO. CTC Media uses adjusted OIBDA (on a consolidated and
segment basis), total operating expenses (before non-recurring items),
adjusted operating income, adjusted net income before tax, adjusted income
tax expense, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share,
each of which has been adjusted to exclude the non-recurring items described
above, so as to permit management to assess and compare the operational
performance of the business for the fourth quarters of 2008 and 2009, and
full years 2008 and 2009, and to create comparable results for future
reporting periods.

---------------------------------
[1] Total operating expenses (before non-recurring items) is a non-GAAP
financial measure that excludes a $232.7 million charge arising from the
impairment of intangible assets of DTV Group in Russia, Channel 31 in
Kazakhstan and a broadcasting group in Moldova in the fourth quarter of 2008;
an $18.7 million charge arising from the impairment of the broadcasting
licenses of certain regional owned-and-operated stations in Russia in the
fourth quarter of 2009; and a $28.6 million stock-based compensation expense
recognized in conjunction with the previously announced settlement of
litigation brought by CTC Media against its former CEO in the fourth quarter
of 2009. Please see the accompanying financial tables at the end of this
release for a reconciliation of total operating expenses (before
non-recurring items) to GAAP total operating expenses.
[2] OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by total operating revenues. Both OIBDA and OIBDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the accompanying financial tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income and OIBDA margin to operating income margin.
[3] All adjusted numbers are non-GAAP financial measures reported before
the non-recurring items described above. Please see the accompanying
financial tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of adjusted
OIBDA to OIBDA, adjusted net income to GAAP reported net income and adjusted
diluted earnings per share to GAAP reported earnings per share.
[4] Organic operating expenses are total operating expenses excluding the
operating expenses of the businesses acquired and consolidated in the second
quarter of 2008 (DTV Group, CIS Group and Production Group), impairment
charges on intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense recognized
in conjunction with the previously announced settlement by CTC Media of
litigation brought by it against its former CEO.
[5] Segment revenues are shown from external customers only, net of
intercompany revenues of $26.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, $22.2
million in the fourth quarter of 2009, $54.8 million for the full year 2008,
and $59.8 million for the full year 2009, primarily related to revenues from
the Production Group that have been eliminated in the consolidation of the
Company's revenues.
[6] Excludes a $28.6 million stock-based compensation expense recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009 in conjunction with the previously announced settlement of litigation brought by CTC Media against its former CEO.
