Leases

Note 4: Leases

Lease Accounting

The Company has various operating leases primarily for office space and other distribution centers, some of which include escalating lease payments and options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than 1 year to 11 years. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of lease agreements greater than one year based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the implicit rate was not readily determinable in the Company’s lease agreements. Therefore, the Company used an estimated secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the Company’s credit rating, adjusted for the weighted average term of each lease. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. For leases with terms of 12 months or less, no asset or liability is recorded and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options are at the Company’s sole discretion and options are recognized when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as calculated do not assume renewal options. The Company does not have lease agreements with residual value guarantees, sale leaseback terms or material restrictive covenants. Additionally, the Company does not separately identify lease and nonlease components, such as maintenance costs.

The Company has various subleases with distributors, for distribution center space, with varying remaining lease terms of less than one year to two years and are cancellable with notice by either party. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the lease and sublease agreements for the office space of the Denton Publishing Company, resulting in a right-of-use asset impairment of $102. Sublease income is included in printing, distribution and other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2023, sublease income is expected to approximate $100 for the remainder of 2023 and $250 in 2024.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any significant operating leases that have not yet commenced.

The table below sets forth supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet information for the Company’s leases.

Description of Business, Policy	Description of Business. DallasNews Corporation and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively herein as “DallasNews” or the “Company.” DallasNews was formed in February 2008 through a spin-off from its former parent company and is registered on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq trading symbol: DALN). DallasNews is the Dallas-based holding company of The Dallas Morning News and Medium Giant. The Company operates The Dallas Morning News (dallasnews.com), Texas’ leading newspaper and winner of nine Pulitzer Prizes. These operations generate revenue from sales of advertising within the Company’s newspaper and digital platforms, subscriptions and retail sales of its newspaper, commercial printing and distribution services primarily related to national newspapers, and preprint advertising. In addition, the Company has a full-service agency, Medium Giant, with capabilities including strategy, creative and media management with a focus on strategic and digital marketing, and data intelligence that provide a measurable return on investment to its clients.
Basis of Presentation, Policy	Basis of Presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they include adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial information as of and for the periods indicated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates its majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. All dollar amounts presented herein, except share and per share amounts, are in thousands, unless the context indicates otherwise.
Use of Estimates, Policy	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net operating revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. Areas where estimates are used include valuation allowances for doubtful accounts, fair value measurements, pension plan assets, pension and other post-employment benefit obligation assumptions, income taxes, leases, self-insured liabilities, and assumptions related to long-lived assets impairment review.
Segment Presentation, Policy	Segment Presentation. Based on the Company’s structure and organizational chart, the Company’s chief operating decision-maker (the “CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, Grant S. Moise. Based on how the Company’s CODM makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance, the Company determined it has one reportable segment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements; see Note 3 – Financial Instruments and Accounts Receivable, Net for additional information.

Disposal of Assets

Note 10: Disposal of Assets

In May 2019, the Company finalized a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Charter DMN Holdings, LP (the “Purchaser”) for the sale of the real estate assets in downtown Dallas, Texas, previously used as the Company’s headquarters for a sale price of $28,000 and a pretax gain of $25,908. The sale price consisted of $4,597 cash received, after selling costs of approximately $1,000, and a two year seller-financed promissory note of $22,400 (the “Promissory Note”). On July 29, 2022, the Company received cash proceeds of $22,516 from the Purchaser, paying the Promissory Note in full including interest. The Company recorded $116 and $616 of interest income related to the Promissory Note, included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 5: Income Taxes

The Company calculated the income tax provision for the 2023 and 2022 interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate based on its expected annual loss before income taxes, adjusted for permanent differences, which it applied to the year-to-date loss before income taxes and specific events that are discretely recognized as they occur.

The Company recognized an income tax provision of $139 and $201 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $397 and $550 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to the effect of the Texas franchise tax. The 2023 income tax expense was reduced by the release of a $66 federal uncertain tax reserve, included in other liabilities, as a result of the statute of limitations lapsing in June 2023. In connection with the release of a federal uncertain tax reserve, the Company released a reserve for interest and penalties included in other liabilities and recognized $36 in other income, net in the second quarter of 2023. Effective income tax rates were (8.8) percent and (7.8) percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “Act”) was enacted and signed into law. The Act is a budget reconciliation package that includes significant law changes relating to tax, climate change, energy, and health care. The tax provisions include, among other items, a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15 percent, an excise tax of 1 percent on corporate stock buy-backs, energy-related tax credits, and additional IRS funding. Certain provisions, including the corporate alternative minimum tax and excise tax on corporate stock buy-backs, became effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS are expected to release further regulations and interpretive guidance implementing the legislation contained in the Act, but the details and timing of such regulations are subject to uncertainty at this time. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts of this legislation as additional guidance is released; however, it does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. This occurs when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, typically at contract price or determined by stand-alone selling price. The Company has an estimated allowance for credits, refunds and similar obligations. Sales tax collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The table below sets forth revenue disaggregated by revenue source.

Classified revenue, which includes automotive, real estate, employment, obituaries and other, results from sales of advertising space in the classified and other sections of the Company’s newspaper. Preprint revenue results from sales of preprinted advertisements or circulars inserted into the Company’s core newspaper and distributed to publications in other markets.

The Company’s agreement allowing it to distribute preprinted advertisements through the mail or through third-party distributors to households in targeted areas was not renewed and ended August 31, 2023. As a result of the end of the distribution agreement whose weekly shared mail coupons and home delivery inserts supported the Company’s niche publications, the Company decided to stop print-only editions of its niche publications, Al Dia and Briefing after August 30, 2023. Al Dia will continue as a digital-only product and publish online daily, as news develops, and in a weekly ePaper edition. Briefing was discontinued as a weekly newspaper, and the brand was retired.

Digital advertising and marketing services revenue consists of strategic marketing services, consulting, branding, paid media strategy and management, creative services, search optimization, direct mail and the sale of promotional materials, as well as providing multi-channel marketing solutions through subscription sales of the Company’s cloud-based software. In addition, it includes digital sales of banner, classified and native advertisements on the Company’s news and entertainment-related websites and mobile apps, as well as targeted and multi-channel (programmatic) advertising placed on third-party websites.

‎

Advertising and marketing services revenue is primarily recognized at a point in time when the ad or service is complete and delivered, based on the customers’ contract price. Barter advertising transactions are recognized at estimated fair value based on the negotiated contract price and the range of prices for similar advertising from customers unrelated to the barter transaction. The Company expenses barter costs as incurred, which is independent from the timing of revenue recognition. In addition, certain digital advertising revenue related to website access is recognized over time, based on the customers’ monthly rate. The Company typically extends credit to advertising and marketing services customers, although for certain advertising campaigns the customer may pay in advance.

For ads placed on certain third-party websites, the Company must evaluate and use judgment to determine whether it is acting as the principal, where revenue is reported on a gross basis, or acting as the agent, where revenue is reported on a net basis. Generally, the Company reports advertising revenue for ads placed on third-party websites on a net basis, meaning the amount recorded to revenue is the amount billed to the customer net of amounts paid to the publisher of the third-party website. The Company is acting as the agent because the publisher controls the advertising inventory. The Company will record certain arrangements gross when it has latitude in establishing price or it determines the placement of the ads as a value added service to the customer.

Circulation

Print circulation revenue is generated primarily by selling home delivery subscriptions, including premium publications, and from single copy sales to non-subscribers. Home delivery revenue is recognized over the subscription period based on the days of actual delivery over the total subscription days and single copy revenue is recognized at a point in time when the paper is purchased. Revenue is directly reduced for any non-payment for the grace period of home delivery subscriptions where the Company recorded revenue for newspapers delivered after a subscription expired.

Digital circulation revenue is generated by digital-only subscriptions and is recognized over the subscription period based on daily or monthly access to the content in the subscription period.

Payment of circulation fees is typically received in advance and deferred over the subscription period. There is little judgment required for valuation or timing of circulation revenue recognition.

Printing, Distribution and Other

Printing, distribution and other revenue is primarily generated from printing and distribution of other newspapers, as well as production of preprinted advertisements for other newspapers. Printing, distribution and other revenue is recognized at a point in time when the product or service is delivered, which requires little judgment to determine. The Company typically extends credit to printing and distribution customers.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts which are refundable. The Company’s primary sources of deferred revenue are from circulation subscriptions and advertising paid in advance of the service provided. These up-front payments are recorded upon receipt as contract liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the revenue is recognized when the Company’s obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $583 and $8,775, respectively, of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022. The Company typically recognizes deferred revenue within 1 to 12 months.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company generally expenses sales commissions and circulation acquisition costs when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within employee compensation and benefits expense and other production, distribution and operating costs expense, respectively.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount invoiced for services performed.

- Definition

The entire disclosure of revenue from contract with customer to transfer good or service and to transfer nonfinancial asset. Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer. Excludes insurance and lease contracts.

Pension and Other Retirement Plans

Pension and Other Retirement Plans [Abstract]

Pension and Other Retirement Plans

Note 6: Pension and Other Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors the DallasNews Pension Plans (the “Pension Plans”), which provide benefits to approximately 1,350 current and former employees of the Company. DallasNews Pension Plan I provides benefits to certain current and former employees primarily employed with The Dallas Morning News or the DallasNews corporate offices. DallasNews Pension Plan II provides benefits to certain former employees of The Providence Journal Company. This obligation was retained by the Company upon the sale of the newspaper operations of The Providence Journal. No additional benefits are accruing under the DallasNews Pension Plans, as future benefits were frozen.

No contributions are required to the DallasNews Pension Plans in 2023 under the applicable tax and labor laws governing pension plan funding. In August 2022, the Company made a board approved voluntary contribution of $5,000 to the Pension Plans, reflected in long-term pension liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will continue to evaluate the feasibility of de-risking strategies based on the economic benefits to the Company.

Net Periodic Pension Expense (Benefit)

The Company’s estimates of net periodic pension expense or benefit are based on the expected return on plan assets, interest on the projected benefit obligations and the amortization of actuarial gains and losses that are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Participation in and accrual of new benefits to participants has been frozen since 2007 and, accordingly, on-going service costs are not a component of net periodic pension expense (benefit). For 2023, there are no unrecognized gains (losses) to amortize due to the total unrecognized gain (loss) falling below the amortization threshold. For 2022, based on the re-allocation of the Pension Plans’ assets, the Company assumed a lower rate of return on the assets resulting in net periodic pension expense.

The table below sets forth components of net periodic pension expense (benefit), which are included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Interest cost	$	1,993	$	1,328	$	5,979	$	3,983
Expected return on plans' assets		(2,219)		(1,237)		(6,656)		(3,711)
Amortization of actuarial loss		—		131		—		394
Net periodic pension expense (benefit)	$	(226)	$	222	$	(677)	$	666

‎

Defined Contribution Plans. The DallasNews Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”), a defined contribution 401(k) plan, covers substantially all employees of DallasNews. Participants may elect to contribute a portion of their pretax compensation as provided by the Savings Plan and the Internal Revenue Code. Employees can contribute up to 100 percent of their annual eligible compensation less required withholdings and deductions up to statutory limits. The Company provides an ongoing dollar-for-dollar match of eligible employee contributions, up to 1.5 percent of the employees’ compensation. Aggregate expense for matching contributions to the Savings Plan was $172 and $178 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $553 and $567 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Short-Term Investments. In 2023, the Company invested $10,500 in Certificates of Deposit (“CD’s”) with original maturities of more than 90 days but one year or less, included in short-term investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are classified as held-to-maturity and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These investments are considered Level 2 investments. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $118 and $287, respectively, of interest income related to the CD’s, included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable are reported net of the allowance for credit losses calculated based on customer category. For example, trade receivables for advertising customers are evaluated separately from trade receivables from single copy sales. For all trade receivables, the reserve percentage considers the Company’s historical loss experience and is applied to each customer category based on aging. In addition, each category has specific reserves for at risk accounts that vary based on the nature of the underlying trade receivables. The calculation of the allowance considers current economic, industry and customer-specific conditions such as high-risk accounts, bankruptcies and other aging specific reserves. The collectability of trade receivables depends on a variety of factors, including trends in local, regional or national economic conditions that affect our customers’ ability to pay. Accounts are written-off after all collection efforts fail; generally, after one year has expired. Expense for such uncollectible amounts is included in other production, distribution and operating costs. Credit terms are customary.

The table below sets forth changes in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.



Beginning balance	$	490
Current period benefit		(110)
Write-offs charged against the allowance		(174)
Recoveries of amounts previously written-off		3
Other		(20)
Ending balance	$	189

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $(46) and $147, respectively, and $(110) and $165 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of bad debt expense (benefit) which is included in other production, distribution and operating costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The reduction in required reserves was primarily due to a lower volume of accounts receivable and payments received for fully reserved balances in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We did not record any one-time adjustments as a result of adopting the new guidance on credit losses.

Contingencies [Abstract]

Contingencies

Note 9: Contingencies

Legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits and other disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. Management routinely assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as the ranges of probable losses to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. Accruals for contingencies are recorded when, in the judgment of management, adverse judgments or outcomes are probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonably estimable. The determination of likely outcomes of litigation matters relates to factors that include, but are not limited to, past experience and other evidence, interpretation of relevant laws or regulations and the specifics and status of each matter. Predicting the outcome of claims and litigation and estimating related costs and financial exposure involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from estimates and accruals. In the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from other currently existing claims against the Company would not have a material adverse effect on DallasNews’ results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for loss and gain contingencies. Describes any existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as of the balance sheet date (or prior to issuance of the financial statements) as to a probable or reasonably possible loss incurred by an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur, and typically discloses the amount of loss recorded or a range of possible loss, or an assertion that no reasonable estimate can be made.
