Time Warner 1Q earnings climb, beats Street

NEW YORK (AP) ? Time Warner says earnings grew 24 percent in the first three months of the year despite a slight drop in revenue, as the company benefited from strength in its television networks.

In the first quarter, Time Warner Inc. reported net income of $720 million, or 75 cents per share, compared with $583 million, or 59 cents, a year earlier.

Adjusted for one-time items, the company earned 82 cents per share, beating the 75 cents expected by analysts surveyed by FactSet.

But revenue of $6.94 billion was short of the $7.16 billion expected by analysts. In the same period last year, revenue was $6.98 billion.

The company also reaffirmed its outlook for the full year. It expects percentage growth in adjusted earnings to be in the low double digits.
