The New York Times Company reported higher fourth-quarter profit as a decline in news-only subscription revenue was offset by an increase in bundle and other single-product subscription revenue.

The news-and-media company on Wednesday posted net income of $129.8 million, or 79 cents a share, up from $123.7 million, or 75 cents a share, the year prior.

Adjusted earnings were 89 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 88 cents.

Revenue rose 10% to $802.3 million. Wall Street expected $791.3 million. Total subscription revenues rose 9.4% as an increase in bundle and non-news single-product subscription revenue helped to offset a decline in news-only subscription revenues, the company said.

Meanwhile, total advertising revenue increased 16% due to strong marketer demand and new advertising supply, the New York Times said.

The company said it gained 450,000 net digital-only subscribers compared with the end of the third quarter and that it now has 12.21 million digital-only subscribers and 12.78 million total subscribers.

For the first quarter, the New York Times guided for total subscription revenue to increase 9% to 11% from the previous year and for total advertising revenue to rise in the low double digits.
