As filed with the Alliance for Audited Media (“AAM”) on January 19, 2015 and subject to audit by the AAM, Newsday submitted
its most recent quarterly report which indicated total average circulation for the three months ended December 28, 2014 of
approximately 340,000 on weekdays, approximately 321,000 on Saturdays and approximately 379,000 on Sundays. These
circulation figures include digital editions (most of which are free to Optimum Online and Newsday print subscribers) to Newsday's
restricted access website and mobile applications. These circulation figures include Newsday's total average print circulation of
approximately 237,000 on weekdays, approximately 228,000 on Saturdays and approximately 284,000 on Sundays, which
represents a decline of approximately 6.9%, 9.2%, and 9.1%, respectively, over the comparable prior year period. Circulation
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $4,189 (5%) primarily due to the impact of rate increases partially offset
by a decline in volume.
