News Release

Gannett Co., Inc. Reports First Quarter Results

McLEAN, VA - Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI) reported today that 2005 first quarter earnings per diluted share, on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis increased 5.0 percent to $1.05, a new record. In 2004's first quarter, Gannett earned $1.00 per diluted share on a GAAP basis.

Total operating revenues for the company increased 3.6 percent to $1.79 billion in the quarter from $1.73 billion in the similar interval in 2004. Operating cash flow (defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization) rose 2.6 percent to $520.2 million from $507.2 million in the year earlier quarter. Net income was $265.7 million in the first quarter of 2005 versus $274.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

Average diluted shares outstanding in the first quarter totaled 254,270,000 compared with 275,507,000 in 2004's first quarter. Approximately 5.3 million shares were repurchased during the quarter.

Commenting on the company's performance, Douglas H. McCorkindale, Chairman, President and CEO said: "We are pleased to announce another quarter of operating revenue, cash flow and earnings per share growth. Our newspaper segment generated solid revenue growth for the full quarter despite much softer advertising demand at the end of March reflecting, in part, the impact of an earlier Easter this year and tougher comparisons as the quarter progressed. USA TODAY posted strong results in both print and online. Our broadcasting segment results were affected by a substantially lower level of political advertising and the absence of the Super Bowl on our six CBS affiliates. Higher newsprint and interest expense and certain employee benefit costs also tempered the company's results."

NEWSPAPERS

Newspaper results in the quarter include NurseWeek acquired in February 2004. Total newspaper segment operating cash flow increased 5.4 percent to $466.6 million in the first quarter, versus $442.8 million in the same quarter of 2004. Operating revenues were $1.63 billion for the quarter, a 4.3 percent increase year-over-year. Assuming Gannett had owned the same group of newspapers in both the full first quarter of 2005 and 2004, advertising revenues would have increased 4.9 percent. On a comparable basis, local advertising revenues were 6.1 percent higher, and both classified and national ad revenues advanced 4.1 percent. Reported newsprint expense increased 4.3 percent in the quarter reflecting higher prices mitigated by lower usage.

At USA TODAY, advertising revenues increased 4.8 percent in the first quarter. Paid advertising pages totaled 1,101 compared with 1,099 in 2004's first quarter.

BROADCASTING

Broadcasting segment results in the quarter include Captivate Network Inc. acquired in April 2004. Broadcasting revenues totaled $164.6 million for the quarter, a 2.9 percent decline from the first quarter in 2004. Broadcasting operating cash flow declined 13.8 percent to $66.4 million from $77.0 million in the year ago quarter.

Excluding Captivate, in the first quarter of 2005, television operating cash flow declined 12.7 percent and revenues fell 5.1 percent. The television group's performance reflected, in part, the absence of political and Super Bowl advertising.

NON-OPERATING ITEMS

Interest expense for the first quarter was $44.9 million compared to $31.8 million in the same quarter of 2004. The increase is due to both higher short-term interest rates, and higher debt balances related to share repurchase activity and acquisitions. Other non-operating expense in both 2004 and 2005 primarily reflects non-operating charges for minority interest and Internet investments in part offset by investment income. In addition, in the first quarter of 2004, the company recorded a non-monetary gain from a newspaper exchange which was reflected in non-operating income.

During the first quarter, the company announced that it had acquired a 25 percent equity interest in Topix.net, a content aggregation service that continuously monitors breaking news and categorizes daily news content.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company completed the acquisition of the assets of HomeTown Communications Network, Inc., a community publishing company with publications in Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky.

At the end of the quarter, Gannett had more than 100 domestic publishing Web sites, including USATODAY.com, one of the most popular newspaper sites on the Web. The company also had Web sites in all of its 19 television markets. In February, Gannett's consolidated domestic Internet audience share was 18.7 million unique visitors reaching about 12.7 percent of the Internet audience according to Nielsen//NetRatings. Newsquest is also an Internet leader in the UK where its network of Web sites attracts more than 38.0 million monthly page impressions from more than 3.6 million unique users.

All references in this release to "comparable" revenue results and "operating cash flow" are to non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that this use allows management and investors to analyze and compare the Company's results in a more meaningful and consistent manner. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP operating cash flow amounts to the Company's consolidated statements of income is attached.

As previously announced, the company will hold an earnings conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET today.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Gannett Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries
Unaudited, in thousands of dollars


"Operating Cash Flow", a non-GAAP measure, is defined as operating
income plus depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.
Management believes that the use of this measure allows investors and
management to measure, analyze and compare the cash resources
generated from its business segment operations in a meaningful and
consistent manner. The focus on operating cash flow is appropriate
given the consistent and generally predictable strength of cash flow
generation by newspaper and television operations, and the short
period of time it takes to convert new orders to cash.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP amounts to the company's operating
income, which the company believes is the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP on
the company's consolidated statements of income, follows:

News Release

Tuesday, April 12, 2005

Gannett Co., Inc. Releases March Statistical Report

McLEAN, VA - Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI) reported today that total pro forma operating revenues for the third period ended March 27, 2005 increased 2.7 percent, benefiting from solid local and classified advertising in its newspaper segment offset by lower revenues from its broadcasting segment. For comparison purposes, the continued increase in the exchange rate of Sterling year-over-year affected results for the company's UK operations. If the exchange rate had remained constant year-over-year, total pro forma operating revenues would have increased 1.9 percent for the period.

March

Pro forma (assuming that all properties presently owned were owned in both periods) newspaper advertising revenues in March increased 4.2 percent compared with the third period in 2004 on a 2.8 percent decline in ROP volume and a 2.1 percent increase in preprint distribution. If the exchange rate had remained constant year-over-year, total pro forma newspaper advertising revenues would have been 3.3 percent higher. Newspaper advertising category results in part reflect the impact of an earlier Easter this year. As in the past, we recommend combining March and April results for comparison purposes.

Pro forma local advertising revenues advanced 6.4 percent on a 1.5 percent decrease in ROP ad volume in March. The performance of the company's small and medium-sized advertisers in its domestic newspapers outpaced the revenue performance of its largest advertisers. In the U.S., across all products, local ad revenue gains were achieved in the department store, grocery, health and telecommunications categories while the furniture, entertainment and financial categories lagged last year's comparable period. On a constant currency basis, pro forma local advertising would have advanced 5.8 percent.

Pro forma classified revenues rose 2.7 percent in the third period on a 3.3 percent decline in ROP ad volume. On a constant currency basis, pro forma classified revenues would have been up 1.2 percent for March. Employment revenues increased 4.9 percent, real estate revenues were up less than 1.0 percent and automotive revenues declined 4.2 percent compared to last year's third period. Classified results in our domestic newspapers were stronger than in the UK. On a constant currency basis, employment would have increased 3.1 percent, while real estate and automotive revenues would have declined 1.1 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively.

Pro forma national advertising revenues in March were 2.9 percent higher on a 5.9 percent decline in ad volume. National volume at the company's local domestic newspapers was 6.2 percent lower in the period. Newsquest experienced higher national ad revenues in the period. While our revenue statistics include Newsquest's results, their ad volume is not included in the linage numbers.  

At USA TODAY, advertising revenues were 6.9 percent higher on a 2.1 percent decline in paid ad pages to 373 from 381. For comparison purposes, USA TODAY's ad revenues and paid pages were up 24.9 percent and 15.8 percent, respectively, in March of 2004. For the third period, at USA TODAY, strength in the travel, technology, entertainment, telecommunications and pharmaceutical categories was offset by weakness in the automotive, financial and retail categories. On a constant currency basis, national advertising would have been up 2.5 percent for the third period.

Pro forma broadcasting revenues, which include Captivate, fell 5.7 percent in the period. Television revenues were 6.4 percent lower reflecting significantly lower political advertising. National revenues were down 17.3 percent while local revenues were flat.

First Quarter

For the first quarter of 2005, total pro forma operating revenues were up 3.2 percent and would have increased 2.6 percent on a constant currency basis.

Newspaper advertising revenues, on a pro forma basis, for the first quarter increased 4.9 percent and would have advanced 4.2 percent on a constant currency basis.

For the first quarter, pro forma local advertising was 6.1 percent higher and would have increased 5.7 percent on a constant currency basis.

Pro forma classified revenues for the quarter were up 4.1 percent and on a constant currency basis would have been 3.0 percent higher. Employment revenues were 8.8 percent higher; real estate revenues increased 1.3 percent while auto revenues declined 3.7 percent. On a constant currency basis for the quarter, employment and real estate revenues would have been up 7.3 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively, while auto revenues would have been down 4.3 percent.

Pro forma national advertising was up 4.1 percent for the first quarter. If the exchange rate had remained constant year-over-year, national advertising would have been up 3.8 percent. At USA TODAY advertising revenues increased 4.8 percent in the quarter on a slight increase in paid advertising pages to 1,101 compared to 1,099 in the year-ago period.

Pro forma broadcasting revenues for the quarter decreased 4.4 percent and television revenues were 5.1 percent lower reflecting the lack of both political and Super Bowl advertising. Based on current pacings, television revenues for the second quarter of 2005 would be below last year's second quarter in the mid to high single digits. This is due, in part, to the absence of significant political advertising that benefited the second quarter of 2004.
