THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

In this release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial information with
respect to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding
severance and special items; operating profit before depreciation,
amortization, severance and special items (if any); and operating costs before
depreciation, amortization, severance and raw materials. The Company has
included these non-GAAP financial measures because management reviews them on
a regular basis and uses them to evaluate and manage the performance of the
Company's operations. Management believes that, for the reasons outlined
below, these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to
investors as a supplement to reported diluted earnings/(loss) per share from
continuing operations, operating profit/(loss) and operating costs. However,
these measures should be evaluated only in conjunction with the comparable
GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternative or superior
measures of GAAP results.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share from continuing operations excluding
severance and special items provide useful information in evaluating the
Company's period-to-period performance because it eliminates items that the
Company does not consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating
activities. Operating profit/(loss) before depreciation, amortization,
severance and special items (if any) is useful in evaluating the Company's
ongoing performance of its businesses as it excludes the significant non-cash
impact of depreciation and amortization as well as items not indicative of
ongoing operating activities. Total operating costs include depreciation,
amortization, severance and raw materials. Total operating costs excluding
these items provide investors with helpful supplemental information on the
Company's underlying operating costs that is used by management in its
financial and operational decision-making.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures from, respectively,
diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, operating profit and
operating costs, the most directly comparable GAAP items, are set out in the
tables below.
