"Our third quarter was marked by sharp contrasts in key markets," said Harold McGraw III, chairman, president and chief executive officer of The McGraw-Hill Companies.
- Education: "We produced good growth in the U.S. college and university market while the elementary-high school market declined."
- Financial Services: "Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services registered the first quarterly increase in revenue since the third quarter of 2007 as corporate issuance offset continuing weakness in structured finance."
- Information & Media: "Platts, our worldwide energy information service, again turned in solid results, but only partially offset declines in print and television advertising.
"Cost containment remains a priority. In the third quarter, including the impact of a $23.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge last year, we reduced total costs and expenses by 5.4% despite a $68 million increase in incentive compensation after substantial reductions in 2008."
Education: Revenue for this segment in the third quarter declined by 11.6% to $1.0 billion compared to the same period last year. Operating profit decreased by 15.9% to $298.1 million versus $354.7 million last year, which included a restructuring charge of $5.4 million. Foreign exchange rates reduced revenue by $11.4 million and operating profit by $4.9 million.
Revenue for the McGraw-Hill School Education Group declined 19.6% to $501.3 million. Revenue for the McGraw-Hill Higher Education, Professional and International Group decreased by 1.8% to $498.7 million compared to the same period last year.
Based on sales results through the third quarter, when most ordering for the fall term has been completed, McGraw-Hill School Education expects to capture more than 30% of the total available dollars in a 2009 state new adoption market that deteriorated all year as budgetary pressures led a growing number of school districts to postpone purchases. The major postponements occurred in California's first-year K-8 reading adoption and second-year K-8 math adoption, which together had represented this year's largest potential. However, postponements also had a significant impact on revenue opportunities in Florida's 6-12 literature and K-12 music adoptions and in several smaller states including Kentucky and Oregon.
Although the California market for new materials was much smaller than originally anticipated, McGraw-Hill School Education has captured very substantial shares of the available dollars there with its two K-5 reading programs, two K-5 math programs, and its 6-8 math titles. Other significant shares are projected for K-12 science in Tennessee, K-12 social studies in Indiana and K-5 math in South Carolina.
McGraw-Hill School Education has also done well in health and Spanish and with materials for business and vocational courses in the adoption states. Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee all purchased instructional materials for career-oriented courses in 2009.
Although harder to quantify, postponements also affected third quarter purchasing by school districts in the open territory. Nevertheless, McGraw-Hill School Education captured available business across a wide range of subjects. Large open territory adoptions include reading in Philadelphia; science in Providence; math in Wichita, Kansas; and health in Newark, New Jersey. Residual sales were uneven across the country and across product lines, but there was solid ordering for Everyday Math consumable materials in the open territory and for Open Court Reading components in California.
McGraw-Hill School Education also achieved healthy increases for intervention materials such as Reading Mastery, an elementary series that is part of the Direct Instruction line, and Number Worlds. However, sales of the supplemental products, which are largely made up of older print titles, continued to decline.
The Federal stimulus funding for education may have made a modest contribution to the elementary-high school instructional materials market in the third quarter and could result in more fourth quarter ordering. Still, the elementary-high school market is now expected to decline between 20% to 25% in 2009. The state new adoption market is now projected at $500 million to $510 million, down from the original $550 million to $600 million forecast at the beginning of the year and the $980 million achieved in 2008.
In the testing market, the third quarter is seasonally light, but Acuity, the award-winning formative assessment program, continues to win new business. Growth by Acuity could not offset a decline in custom and off-the-shelf products and services in the third quarter.
For the McGraw-Hill Higher Education, Professional and International Group, growth in the U.S. college and university market was offset by foreign exchange, softness in international markets and continued weakness at book stores for professional products.
The U.S. college and university market is benefiting this year from a surge in enrollments. A 4.8% increase for post-secondary school enrollments in 2009 had been projected by the National Center for Education Statistics, but there are indications now that the overall increase this year may be closer to 10%. Many two-year schools and career colleges are reporting double-digit enrollment growth. As a result, the U.S. college and university market could grow by 8% to 10% this year.
Surging fall enrollments, successful digital initiatives and the solid performance of major imprints fueled growth for McGraw-Hill Higher Education in the third quarter.
Online study tools for students, which include McGraw-Hill Connect(TM), the industry's most advanced interactive platform; e-books; and online courses all produced double-digit increases.
McGraw-Hill Higher Education's best sellers in the third quarter included:
- McConnell, Brue and Flynn, Economics, 18th Edition
- Lucas, The Art of Public Speaking, 10th Edition
- Shier, Butler and Lewis, Hole's Human Anatomy and Physiology, 12th Edition
- Saladin, Anatomy and Physiology, 5th Edition
- Garrison, Managerial Accounting, 13th Edition
Although professional markets were soft at retail, subscriptions for digital products in science, medicine and technology continue to grow at a double-digit rate here and abroad. There also is a growing lineup of revenue-generating products available for downloading on MP3 devices; approximately 50 medical, technical and test prep titles for the iPhone will have been released before the end of the year.
International revenue decreased in the third quarter, with strong demand for higher education products across most markets offset by lower school sales in some regions as well as softness in professional sales and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.
Financial Services: Revenue for this segment declined 2.2% to $637.0 million in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. Operating profit decreased by 10.1% to $256.2 million compared to $285.1 million for the third quarter last year, which included a pre-tax restructuring charge of $4.1 million. Foreign exchange rates reduced revenue in the third quarter by $10.1 million and operating profit by $3.1 million.
An improving financing environment for bond issuers and narrowing credit spreads contributed to an uptick in revenue for Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services in the third quarter. S&P Credit Market Services, which provides independent credit ratings, credit risk evaluations and ratings-related information and products, increased revenue by 0.7% to $426.1 million in the third quarter compared to the same period last year.
Revenue for Standard & Poor's Investment Services, which provides comprehensive value-added financial data, information, investment indices and research, declined 7.6% to $210.9 million in the third quarter compared to the same period last year.
As new issue activity picked up in the bond market in the third quarter, particularly in U.S. and European corporate debt issuance, so did transaction revenue at S&P Credit Market Services. Transaction revenue grew by 6.5%, or $7.7 million, to $127.8 million in the third quarter versus the same period last year. Transaction revenue includes ratings of publicly-issued debt, bank loan ratings and corporate credit estimates.
Non-transaction revenue at S&P Credit Market Services decreased by 1.6% to $298.3 million in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. A reduction in breakage fees for work performed on canceled transactions was the primary reason for the $4.9 million decline in non-transaction revenue, which also includes surveillance fees, annual contracts and subscriptions. In the third quarter of 2009, non-transaction revenue accounted for 70.0% of S&P Credit Market Services revenue compared to 71.6% in the third quarter of 2008.
New issue dollar volume in the U.S. and European bond markets increased in the third quarter compared to the same period last year, according to S&P estimates and information from Thomson Financial and Harrison Scott Publications. In the U.S., total new issue dollar volume grew by 31.4%. Corporate issuance was up 92.7%. Public finance increased by 15.8%. Mortgage-backed securities increased 233.7%. Asset-backed securities declined by 20.7%. Collateralized debt obligations fell by 98.8%.
In Europe, total new issue dollar volume grew by 39.2% compared to the same period last year.
International revenue increased 3.3% to $209.3 million in the third quarter at S&P Credit Market Services; the growth rate was inhibited by $7.7 million attributed to foreign exchange rates. International revenue accounted for 49.1% of S&P Credit Market Services in the third quarter compared to 47.9% for the same period last year.
For S&P Investment Services, which produced 33.1% of Financial Services' revenue in the third quarter, gains at Capital IQ were offset by the divestiture of Vista Research in May 2009, softness in index services and the expiration of contracts with banks for independent equity research at the end of July. S&P recently signed new contracts with Citibank and Morgan Stanley and is negotiating with other banks for continuation of stock coverage and other services.
Capital IQ introduced significant new data and functionality to its Web-based platform in September, including detailed information on more than 60 commodity futures. The client base, which grew to more than 2,800 in the third quarter, is now up 7.5% since the end of 2008.
A slowdown in trading volume for over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives based on S&P indices was key to a modest decline in index services products and services in the third quarter. The average daily volume for the major exchange-traded derivatives decreased 23.2% to 2,860,000 contracts in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period last year. Assets under management in exchange-traded funds based on S&P indices were down year-over-year by 1.2% at the end of the third quarter to $220.8 billion, but up 16.3% since the end of the second quarter of 2009.
Information & Media: Revenue for this segment declined 10.1% to $238.9 million compared to the same period last year. Operating profit increased by 29.3% to $29.5 million versus $22.8 million last year, which included a pre-tax restructuring charge of $13.9 million. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on revenue and a $1.7 million favorable impact on operating profit.
Third quarter revenue and operating profit were affected by the conversion of a number of J.D. Power and Associates' syndicated studies to an online platform. As a result, an estimated $5.4 million of revenue and $2.6 million of operating profit that would have been recognized in the third quarter was deferred and will be recognized ratably over the 12-month service period.
For the Business-to-Business Group, revenue in the third quarter decreased by 8.7% to $219.8 million. The group includes the following brands: Aviation Week, BusinessWeek, J.D. Power and Associates, McGraw-Hill Construction and Platts.
Solid growth by Platts in domestic and international energy markets was offset by declines in the automotive sector at J.D. Power, softness in the construction market and weakness in advertising. Advertising pages in BusinessWeek's global edition in the third quarter decreased by 29.3%, according to the Publishers Information Bureau.
For the Broadcasting Group, revenue in the third quarter fell by 23.6% to $19.1 million compared to the same period last year. Both local and national time sales declined in the third quarter, but the absence of political advertising in a non-election year was the biggest factor in the year-over-year decrease.
The Outlook: "With market conditions continuing to weaken in school education and advertising, we now expect revenue for 2009 to decline by approximately 7%," Mr. McGraw said. "We had previously forecasted a decrease of 5.5% to 6.5%.
"But with stringent cost controls, we now expect to achieve the top end of our $2.20 to $2.25 earnings per share guidance for 2009. At the end of the second quarter, we had anticipated coming in at the low end of that range.
"The new earnings per share guidance excludes the second quarter restructuring charge of $0.03, a $0.03 loss on the divestiture of Vista Research in May and a projected $0.02 gain ($9.3 million pre-tax and $5.9 million after-tax) on the sale of BusinessWeek in the fourth quarter."

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to including financial measures under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), The
McGraw-Hill Companies disclosed non-GAAP measures for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. These non-GAAP measures exclude
the impact of restructuring charges and a loss on the sale of Vista
Research, Inc. The non-GAAP measures are provided because management
believes they provide useful supplemental information for meaningful
comparisons of the Company's results. This exhibit should be read in
conjunction with Exhibit 2.
