Liberty Global shares rise after 1Q earns in line

Posted on by

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Shares of Liberty Global Inc. rose Tuesday after the international pay TV operator controlled by billionaire John Malone posted first-quarter earnings that were in line with analyst expectations, and it said its acquisition of Virgin Media was on track to be completed by the second quarter.

The company said late Monday that its net loss in the three months ended March 31 fell to $1 million, or breakeven per share, from a loss of $25.1 million, or 9 cents per share, a year earlier.

Revenue rose 9 percent to $2.77 billion.

Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne said in a research note following the release that the results were "broadly in-line."

Shares gained $2.83, or 3.8 percent, to end at $78.01 Tuesday. Shares touched an all-time high of $78.19 during the session.

Liberty Global said in February that it had agreed to acquire Virgin Media for $17.50 in cash, 0.2582 Liberty Global Series A shares and 0.1928 Liberty Global Series C shares for every Virgin Media share.

Malone controls Liberty Global through super-voting Series B shares, of which he controls 86 percent.

The deal valued the equity in Virgin Media at $16 billion. Virgin Media has 25 million customers in 14 countries. Liberty Global ended the quarter with 19.7 million customers in 13 countries.

Morgan Stanley's Swinburne said in his research note that he expects the acquisition to add more than 10 percent to Liberty Global's free cash flow.

Liberty Interactive Operating Profit Flat

Posted on by

Liberty Interactive Corp.'s (LINTA, LINTB) first-quarter operating profit was flat as higher revenue was neutralized by higher expenses, while Liberty Media Corp. (LMCA, LMCB) swung to an operating profit as revenue surged.

Liberty Interactive in 2011 completed a split-off of assets, including the Starz cable channel, that became known as Liberty Media Corp. The plan sharpened focus on the growing QVC home-shopping network, as well as a handful of its e-commerce businesses.

Liberty Media in January spun off Starz in a move aimed at freeing up cash to pursue its takeover of Sirius XM Radio Inc. (SIRI). Starz is classified as discontinued operations as of the first quarter. Liberty gave Sirius a lifeline in early 2009 with several hundred million dollars in loans; in exchange, Liberty got preferred shares equivalent to a 40% stake in the company. The Federal Communications Commission earlier this year approved Liberty Media's request for permission to gain effective control of Sirius.

For the quarter, Liberty Interactive reported an operating profit of $260 million, compared with $259 million a year earlier. Revenue rose 5.2% to $2.43 billion, above the $2.38 billion expected by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.

Depreciation and amortization expense rose 7%, while stock compensation expense climbed 41%.

Revenue from QVC--its largest business--was up 2.2% to $1.97 billion, while operating income edged up 0.8%. Revenue from QVC's larger U.S. business rose 4.6% to $1.3 billion. Liberty's e-commerce business saw revenue rise 20% to $460 million.

"QVC produced particularly strong results in the U.S., driven by solid operating performance and continued growth in eCommerce and mobile revenue," Liberty Chief Executive Greg Maffei said.

Separately, Liberty Media reported an operating profit of $160 million, compared with a loss of $32 million a year earlier. Revenue surged to $789 million from $35 million as the company logged $635 million in subscriber revenue, versus no such revenue a year earlier.

The company said its subscribers grew by 453,000 to 24.4 million, a record figure.

"We are extremely pleased with the operating results of our newest subsidiary, SiriusXM, which grew its subscriber base to over 24 million," Mr. Maffei said.

Posted on by

GREAT NECK, NY--(Marketwired - May 8, 2013) - - One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP)

One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), an owner of a geographically diversified portfolio of retail, industrial, health and fitness, office, flex and other properties primarily under long term net leases in the United States, today announced operating results for thequarter ended March 31, 2013.

Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty stated, "One Liberty began 2013 by executing and achieving progress towards the goal of selective and accretive growth.With overall double digit percentage increases from the first quarter of 2012 in rental income, income from continuing operations and funds from operations, we continue to protect and increase stockholder value while prudently pursuing growth opportunities."

Operating Results:

Rental income for the first quarter of 2013 increased $1.34 million, or 12.5%, to $12.1 million from $10.76 million for the first quarter of 2012.The increase is due substantially to the twelve properties acquired since February 2012.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2013 increased to $5.67 million from $4.98 million for the first quarter in the prior year.Approximately $586,000 of the increase is due to increased depreciation, real estate and real estate acquisition expense resulting primarily from properties acquired in 2012 or 2013 and the balance is due to increased general and administrative expense.

Net income attributable to One Liberty in the first quarter of 2013 was $3.45 million or $0.22 per diluted share compared to $3.22 million or $0.21 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012.Included in the 2012 results are $264,000 or $.01 per share of income from discontinued operations.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company reported Funds from Operations ("FFO") of $6.34 million, a 13.8% increase from the $5.57 million reported in the first quarter of 2012.FFO was $0.42 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $0.38 per diluted share in the corresponding period of the prior year. A reconciliation of FFO to net income as presented in accordance with GAAP is provided with the financial information included later in this release.

The per share net income and FFO results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were impacted by the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding which increased due to share issuances under One Liberty's equity incentive, dividend reinvestment and at the market equity offering programs.

One Liberty Properties, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2013 Results

CANDIDATES UP CLOSE: Libertarian

The Lower Mainland was a hotbed of talk radio during the 1970s. Almost everyone listened to the banter, idealistic and otherwise, that bounced around the airwaves, and young Lewis Dahlby was an avid listener.

Two of Dahlbys favourite hosts were the gravelly voiced Pat Burns and controversial Ed Murphy. Burns would talk about a little French book titled La Loi, or The Law, written in 1850 by Frdric Bastiat espousing values adopted by Libertarians, while Murphy had a couple of guests promoting the philosophys values that oppose governments using force or coercion to get what they want.

Dahlby, who is running for the BC Libertarian Party in the New Westminster riding in the May 14 provincial election, became convinced it was the way society should go when he tried to put a mobile home on his property in Coquitlam.

The city said he could only do so if he went to all his neighbours in the area to see if it was all right with them.

All but one was in favour.

When it finally went before council, most of its members supported him but the rigmarole he had to go through to make it happen only deepened his beliefs.

Why should seven councillors have the right to decide what kind of house I live in? Its up to me, not them, says Dahlby.

Libertarianism is the most morally valid philosophy there is. I like to say were at the pinnacle of integrity.

For example, even something as simple as a minimum wage law violates individual rights to work for whatever rate they want or be willing to pay, says Dahlby.

On top of that, he believes its also bad policy since increasing the minimum wage creates poverty because employers have to reduce staff to pay for the rise in pay.
