1 How to Use an AAM Consumer Magazine Publisher s Statement

2 Introduction AAM (previously Audit Bureau of Circulations) has audited consumer magazines since its inception in As publications increasingly become multi-platform brands, AAM has developed new products and services to meet its members needs. Consolidated Media Reports (CMR) present circulation, website traffic and other auditable media in one single report. This gives potential advertisers a comprehensive way to look at a brand and its vitality. This booklet is designed to help you understand each paragraph of the publisher s statement for paid, verified and analyzed nonpaid circulation. Please also note that AAM offers more information about its rules, reporting requirements and specific guidelines on its website.

3 Reporting AAM releases data on consumer magazine members in four basic reports: 1) Publisher s statements 2) Audit reports 3) Snapshot (formerly FAS-FAX) reports 4) AAM Rapid Report Publisher s Statement: All publisher members are required to report their circulation on an AAM publisher s statement. For consumer magazine members, this is represented by a pink-colored statement or pink sheet. Publishers file their circulation claims with AAM for the six-month periods ending on June 30 and December 31. Five types of publisher s statements: Paid, verified and analyzed nonpaid circulation Paid and verified with digital editions Paid and verified circulation Analyzed nonpaid circulation Multimedia Audit Report: An AAM audit report is a standardized document that reports the objective findings of AAM s audit of a publication s circulation. Audit Reports verify the information reported in publisher s statements filed for the same period. Snapshot (formerly FAS-FAX) Reports: This report reflects top-line circulation information for all AAM member publications by skimming preliminary data from filed publisher s statement claims and lists it side-by-side, in alphabetical order, by publication name. These reports are issued twice a year for the June 30 and December 31 six-month reporting periods. Snapshot is widely referenced by those who often need a quick, current summary of circulation trends and changes. AAM Rapid Report: This online circulation reporting tool allows magazine publishers to voluntarily report their top-line circulation data on an issue-by-issue basis within weeks of the on-sale or distribution date. Circulation Paid Circulation: The consumer must pay at least one cent, net of all considerations, for either a subscription or single copy to qualify and be classified as paid circulation. Verified Circulation: Verified circulation is defined as subscription copies designated by publishers for readership in public places or intended for individual use by recipients who are likely to have a strong affinity for the content of the magazine. No payment is necessary to qualify a recipient for verified reporting. Verified public place is a category used typically for hotel, airline and waiting room copies. Verified individual use is a category in which individual recipients receive the magazine either through an individual request or an opt-out opportunity. Analyzed Nonpaid Circulation: This circulation falls into one of the four subcategories, each with their own unique qualification criteria, none of which involves payment for the subscription: Analyzed nonpaid list source Those individuals receiving the magazine based upon criteria involving a list source. Analyzed nonpaid bulk Copies of the magazine delivered to locations where the intent is to redistribute the magazine to unknown recipients. Analyzed nonpaid market coverage circulation defined Copies of the magazine served to recipients known only by address. Analyzed nonpaid delivered with host products defined Copies of a magazine inserted into another publication for distribution. Digital Edition Circulation: The label digital edition is used to describe distribution of a magazine s content via electronic means. The digital edition must maintain the same identity of the host publication by maintaining the same name/logotype characteristics. A digital edition may be classified as paid subscription/single copy or individually requested verified where access is restricted to those individuals in either replica or nonreplica formats. Replica editions may also be classified as analyzed nonpaid bulk circulation accessed by a consumer via an unrestricted website. 2

4 Publisher s Statement Report Masthead The official name of the publication is shown at the top of the publisher s statement. The publication may include a graphic of its official title as a heading on the front page. Field served is a general statement by the publisher describing the magazine s market(s) and/or occupations to whose interest the publication s editorial content is directed. Definition of list source recipient is a statement by the publisher specifying list sources used for delivery of analyzed nonpaid list source circulation. Method of circulation is the publisher s general statement specifying how each analyzed nonpaid recipient and/or analyzed nonpaid bulk location is to receive the publication. Other highlights include: Publishing company Frequency of the publication AAM member number Paragraph 1 Total Average Paid, Verified & Analyzed Nonpaid Circulation This paragraph reports the average circulation of all issues whose cover dates fall within the six-month period covered by the statement. It includes the average for the statement period along with a percentage of the total, the rate base, the quantity above or below rate base and a percentage. Total average circulation is broken out in segments: Subscriptions Paid (print and digital) Verified (print and digital) Single copy (print and digital) Analyzed nonpaid The primary rate base, if used, will consist of both paid and verified subscription circulation. In situations where a publisher elects to make a rate base claim for a segment of circulation, such as paid only or verified only, the explanatory paragraph may be used to disclose this additional information. Any verified circulation is broken out in paragraph 6A verified public place and paragraph 6B verified individual use. 3

5 Paragraph 2 Suggested Retail Prices This paragraph reports the publication s suggested one-year subscription and single-copy cover price for the six-month reporting period. Average Price Paragraph 2 also reports the average net subscription price for the 12 months prior to the start of the publisher s statement period. For example, a publisher s statement for a June 2012 reporting period will report average price for the 12-month period ending December The reporting of net average subscription price is mandatory for paid subscriptions on a per-copy and annualized basis. Annualized data is obtained by multiplying the average per copy price by the number of issues in the period covered by the average price reporting. Net price reporting excludes: Premium values Subscriptions canceled for nonpayment Transfers Copies sold as public place/sponsored Nondeductible clubs Any foreign subscriptions Gross average price reporting is optional. If a publication chooses to report gross average subscription price, the sources of business that are excluded from net average price calculations are also excluded from gross average subscription price except for the following: Premium values Subscriptions canceled for nonpayment For paid subscriptions only: What is net versus gross? Net Average Price: Gross individual subscriptions and dollars minus the values of premium inducements and credit cancellations. Gross Average Price: Gross individual subscriptions and dollars. Essentially, gross includes premium and credit cancel values and net excludes premium and credit cancel values. Paragraph 3 Paid, Verified & Analyzed Nonpaid Circulation By Issue The average of the issues shown in paragraph 3 (except for special issues) will always equal the total average paid, verified and analyzed nonpaid circulation shown in paragraph 1. Special issues will be listed in this paragraph, however they will not be included in the average of paragraph 1. Publications that have digital editions will show a breakout by print and digital replica (paragraph 3) and nonreplica (paragraph 3A). 4

6 Paragraph 4 Average Circulation by Regional, Metro & Demographic Editions Any edition of a national publication that is regularly sold as a separate advertising vehicle is listed individually in paragraph 4. This includes regional, metro and demographic editions offered for separate advertising sales according to the publication s rate card. If the publication reports a rate base for any edition, it must be reported in this paragraph. It is important to remember that some of these editions may overlap, be noninclusive or have fewer issues than the frequency of the national edition. Their sum does not necessarily add up to the full national average listed in paragraph 1. Paragraph 5 Trend Analysis This paragraph is compiled by AAM and represents a five-year trend analysis for the circulation categories reported in paragraph 1 as well as average annualized subscription prices. Regardless of the audit period, a January through December average is reported. A percent of change will be shown for a year over year basis for total circulation. If a rate base was reported, then this element as well as the average price (annualized) for each year is also disclosed. 5

7 Paragraph 6 Supplemental Analysis of Average Paid, Verified & Analyzed Nonpaid Circulation This paragraph provides a detailed analysis of circulation by category reported in paragraph 1 of the publisher s statement. If an asterisk appears next to the category, then the sales for that category were included in the paragraph 2 average price calculation. This is annotated at the bottom of the paragraph. Terms and definitions of these categories can be found on pages 10 and 11. If verified circulation is reported in paragraph 1, a publisher must report it in paragraphs 6A and 6B. Paragraph 6A Additional Analysis of Verified Public Place This paragraph provides further analysis of verified public place circulation for the period covered by the statement. The breakout reports the top five distribution locations from a standardized list of sources maintained in the verified circulation guide on AAM s website. The remaining circulation is reported under other. Paragraph 6B Additional Analysis of Verified Individual Use Verified individual circulation represents copies delivered to individual readers who would likely have a strong affinity for the editorial content of the publication. Examples of this type of circulation may be names obtained from lists, individually requested, etc. The breakout reports the top five sources used to acquire consumer names. Remaining circulation is reported under other. A standardized listing of sources is maintained on the AAM website in the verified circulation guide. 6

8 Paragraph 7 Geographic Data for the Month, Year issue This paragraph reports circulation by geographic area for a single issue in the publisher s statement reporting period (also referred to as the analyzed issue ). It identifies circulation for the 48 contiguous states in alphabetical order, then Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. Possessions. Data is also provided for Canada, international and military subscriptions, if any were served. At least once in each 12-month period, publishers must report actual counted figures in each of these categories by state and province. The next selected issue can be based on either a proration of that counted issue or on another analysis. Analysis by ABCD County Size (for one issue) These groups represent county size ranging from the largest to the smallest, using U.S. Census data and defined by A.C. Nielsen Company for the contiguous 48 states. This analysis is required for U.S. magazines with circulation of more than 500,000 and for Canadian magazines with circulation of more than 100,000.

9 Paragraph 8 Analysis of Total New and Renewal Paid Individual Subscriptions Paragraph 8 shows information concerning the terms, use of premiums in subscription selling and sales sources. Subscriptions reported here (new and renewal) are gross numbers for subscription sales that qualify as paid under AAM definitions. These are subscriptions sold during the sixmonth period covered by the publisher s statement as opposed to the average circulation numbers shown in paragraph 1. In other words, this paragraph excludes orders for paid sponsored subscriptions, all verified subscriptions, single-copy sales and analyzed nonpaid circulation. Consumer magazines have up to seven months to collect for these subscriptions, some of which may cancel. Paragraph 8A Duration - This subparagraph describes the length of subscription terms sold during the statement period. Paragraph 8B Use of Premiums - A publisher s use or non-use of premiums in subscription selling is shown in this subparagraph. Categories include: (1) Ordered without premium are subscriptions sold in consideration of monetary payment alone. (2) Ordered with material reprinted from this publication are subscriptions sold involving editorial premiums. The explanatory paragraph 9 will contain a description of the editorial premium(s). (3) Ordered with other premiums reports the subscriptions sold with a product that is being used as a premium. To qualify these subscriptions, the publisher is required to collect the full value of the premium(s) in addition to the subscription price of one cent or more. The explanatory paragraph 9 will contain a description of the premium(s). Paragraph 8C Channels - This subparagraph describes the channels in which the subscriptions were obtained. (a) Ordered by subscriber action via direct mail, direct mail agents, inserts, online, renewals, catalogs, or other outlets available to the subscribers. This includes all new sales generated through channels where the subscriber(s) initiated action and renewals of subscriptions generated through publishers or their agents. (b) Ordered by subscribers in response to unsolicited telemarketing and door-to-door selling. This includes new sales where the publisher or their agent make solicitation efforts through outbound telemarketing or door-to-door sales to new subscribers.

Some of the explanations that may be included are: Other publisher s prices (foreign, two-year, three-year) Premium offers Sweepstakes offers Explanation of any circulation reported in paragraph 6 Disclosure of post-expire copies Disclosure of verified paid distribution This paragraph also lists the average total nonanalyzed nonpaid circulation for the publisher s statement period. These are copies that were distributed during the period, but did not meet AAM s rules for inclusion in paid or analyzed nonpaid circulation. The major contributions to this category are copies supplied to advertisers and agencies and copies served on credit that were canceled later due to nonpayment. If a publication reports digital circulation, the descriptions will be contained in this paragraph.

It identifies if any difference existed between the circulation claimed by the publisher and the results of the AAM audit for the same time period.

These averages will be compared to the publisher s statement average from that same period. The reporting publication s audit report will include a reconciliation of any differences between the AAM Rapid Report submissions versus the final audited numbers. AAM members may access Rapid Report data in the Media Intelligence Center. 13
