The venerable New York Times newspaper company - which publishes The New York Times - is falling sharply in futures trading on Wall Street. Financial results showing unexpectedly large cost increases in the fourth quarter are behind the price decline.

New York Times shares fell 11 percent, despite revenue and subscriber numbers being slightly higher than expected.

Advertising revenue rose 16 percent compared to the fourth quarter a year earlier, to $192 million. Overall revenue rose 10 percent to $802 million.

Adjusted operating income increased 13 percent to $192 million, which was lower than expected.

For the first quarter, the newspaper publisher expects a 9–11 percent increase in subscriber revenue and a 14–17 percent increase in digital subscriber revenue.
