Whilst the London edition is solely owned by the Time Out Group, other editions are partly or wholly owned by other entities. For instance the ownership of a Chicago edition of the magazine that launched in March 2005 is split 50-50 between the group and Joe Mansueto. Elliott has said in an interview that he wants to expand to Los Angeles and San Francisco once the Chicago venture has been fully launched. Other editions are not owned by the Time Out Group at all – for instance Time Out Mumbai is operated solely by a publisher licencing the Time Out brand. Some critics in the financial press have questioned whether this business model has allowed the Time Out brand to expand as quickly as it might have. The biggest selling Time Out is currently Time Out New York (45% owned by the Time Out Group). First published in 1995, it currently has a circulation of 128,000. TONY has been nominated for a National Magazine Award for General Excellence and an Acres of Diamonds Award for best consumer-magazine launch. It has a quarterly offshoot aimed at parents of young children called Time Out New York Kids [1].

The Time Out Group Limited conducts most of its business from London, New York and Paris.


In addition to the magazines, Time Out publishes food, drink and restaurant guides for London, New York, Dubai and Paris. For London, its core city, it has also published guides for students, shopping and health and fitness amongst others. Time Out also produces 48 travel guides to cities and regions around the world. The guides are published in the UK by Random House. Although similar in style to other guides, such as those published by Lonely Planet and Rough Guide, the Time Out guides tend to focus on more hip happenings in each city. Time Out was instrumental in bringing about specific listings for gay and lesbian readers, a formula followed now by similar publications. Random House is a publishing division of the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann based in New York City. ... Lonely Planet Publications (usually known as Lonely Planet or LP for short), claims to be the largest independently-owned travel guidebook publisher in the world. ... Rough Guides Ltd is a large travel guidebook and reference publisher, owned by Pearson PLC.

In 2003 the Group reported revenues of £25m and a profit of £228,000. Elliott values his company at "more than £30m".
