CBS CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS;
ANNOUNCES STOCK BUY-BACK
STATIONS CONTINUE TO GENERATE DOUBLE-DIGIT REVENUE/EBITDA GROWTH
NETWORK REPORTS CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT
BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUTHORIZES PURCHASE OF UP TO $1 BILLION OF COMMON STOCK
NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 1998 -- CBS Corporation (NYSE:CBS) reported increased
revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) for the fourth quarter of 1997. The acquisitions of Infinity
Broadcasting at year-end 1996 and The Nashville Network (TNN) and Country Music
Television (CMT) in late 1997 contributed to these increases. On a proforma
basis, the fourth quarter's EBITDA of $241 million was up 77% from $136 million
in the year-ago quarter. Revenues on a proforma basis were up 16%.
The CBS Station Group reported double digit revenue and EBITDA growth.
The CBS Radio Group, which includes TDI, its outdoor advertising business,
continued to outpace the industry. The Radio Group's revenues and EBITDA, on a
proforma basis, were up 21% and 34%, respectively. The CBS Television Stations
Group's revenues and EBITDA were up 11% and 12%, respectively, despite facing
difficult comparisons from several factors, primarily political advertising
spending in the year-ago quarter.
The Television Network's EBITDA improved 63% from the year-ago quarter
to a loss of $28 million on a 17% revenue increase. While revenues were up on
stronger primetime pricing, ratings increases across other dayparts and higher
syndication revenues, they were partially offset by investments in programming
and promotion.
The Cable Group reported EBITDA of $34 million, up from $3 million in
the year-ago quarter. The acquisition of TNN and CMT on Sept. 30, 1997
contributed significantly to this growth. On a proforma basis, revenues and
EBITDA were up 20% and 13%, respectively.
Commenting on the Company's performance for the quarter, Michael H.
Jordan, CBS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: "The CBS Station Group
continues to post impressive results. We are particularly pleased with the
dramatic rebound of our television stations in the second half of this year, and
with the record results reported by our Radio Group, which continues to outpace
the industry. The Network continues to show solid improvement in all areas,
ending the year strong with a first place in the November Sweep. And our two
newly purchased cable networks are already making a strong cash flow
contribution."

CBS Corporation...2
The Corporation reported a net loss from continuing operations for the
fourth quarter of 1997 of $10 million, or one cent per share, compared to a net
loss of $63 million, or $.18 per share for the year ago quarter. This year's
fourth quarter included a pre-tax charge of $15 million, or one cent per share,
for severance costs related to the transfer of various corporate functions to
New York and the resulting reductions at the Pittsburgh headquarters. For the
full year 1997, CBS reported a net loss from continuing operations of $131
million, or $.24 per share, compared to a net loss of $221 million, or $.67 per
share for 1996.
The Corporation's reported net income for the fourth quarter of 1997,
including both continuing and discontinued operations, was $861 million, or
$1.24 per share, compared to a net loss of $34 million, or $.11 per share for
the year-ago quarter. The 1997 quarter benefited from the $871 million net gain
from disposal of discontinued operations, primarily from the sale of Thermo King
in October 1997. For the full year 1997, the Corporation reported net income of
$549 million, or $.84 per share, compared to net income of $95 million or $.12
per share for 1996.
Looking to the future, Mr. Jordan said: "We enter 1998 with strong
momentum. The recent acquisition of the NFL's American Football Conference
broadcast rights will further strengthen our television stations and build our
Network's key younger demographics. The closing of the American Radio Systems
acquisition in the next several months will expand our fast growing radio group
into new markets. And both the Network and the Station Group will benefit from
the higher ratings and promotion opportunities created by the 1998 Winter
Olympics this month."
Stock Repurchase/Dividend Suspension
The Corporation also announced today that its Board of Directors has
authorized the purchase, through open market transactions, of up to $1 billion
of its common stock. The timing and actual number of shares purchased will
depend on a variety of factors, including price and other market conditions.
The Board of Directors also authorized the payment of the common stock
dividend of $.05 per share payable March 1, 1998 for holders of record as of
Feb. 16, 1998. In addition, the Board determined to suspend the payment of
future cash dividends on its common stock.
Mr. Jordan commented: "These actions reflect our confidence in the
future outlook for CBS. We believe purchasing our shares provides our
shareholders excellent value without impeding our ability to take advantage of
attractive growth opportunities. As a pure play media company with high free
cash flow growth, we believe that the dividend suspension, combined with the
share purchase, most effectively reinforces our commitment to shareholder
value."
