Americas

The Company's Americas revenue increased $125.0 million or 10%
during 2006 as compared to 2005 from revenue growth across the
Company's inventory. The Americas segment experienced rate increases
on most of its inventory while occupancy remained essentially
unchanged during 2006 as compared to 2005. Airport revenue increased
in 2006 as compared to 2005 primarily related to $30.2 million from
the acquisition of Interspace Airport Advertising ("Interspace") in
July 2006. Revenue growth occurred across both large and small markets
such as Miami, San Antonio, Sacramento, Albuquerque and Des Moines.

Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $64.4 million in 2006
as compared to 2005 primarily from an increase in site lease expenses
of approximately $30.2 million as well as $4.7 million related to the
adoption of FAS 123R. Interspace contributed $19.2 million to direct
operating and SG&A expenses in 2006. In addition, bonus and commission
expenses increased $7.6 million related to the increase in revenue.

International

The Company's International revenue increased $106.7 million or 7%
in 2006 as compared to 2005. The increase includes approximately $44.9
million during the first six months of 2006 related to Clear Media,
which the Company began consolidating in July 2005. Also contributing
to the increase was approximately $25.9 million from growth in street
furniture revenues and $11.9 million related to movements in foreign
exchange, partially offset by a decline in billboard revenues for 2006
as compared to 2005.

Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $53.3 million during
2006 as compared to 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to
$27.5 million during the first six months of 2006 related to the
consolidation of Clear Media as well as an increase in site lease
expenses of approximately $37.7 million and approximately $10.6
million related to movements in foreign exchange. Also included in the
increase was $1.3 million related to the adoption of FAS 123R.
Partially offsetting the increase was a $9.8 million reduction
recorded in 2006 as the result of a favorable settlement of a legal
proceeding. As well, $26.6 million related to restructuring the
Company's businesses in France was recorded in the third quarter of
2005.

Digital Conversion

During 2006 the Company installed 43 new digital displays in six
markets. The Company is currently planning to deploy over 100 digital
displays in approximately twenty markets in 2007.

FAS No. 123 R: Share-Based Payment ("FAS 123R")

The Company adopted FAS 123R on January 1, 2006 under the
modified-prospective approach which requires it to recognize employee
compensation cost related to its stock option grants in the 2006
financial statements for all options granted after the date of
adoption as well as for any options that were granted prior to
adoption but not vested. Under the modified-prospective approach, no
stock option expense is reflected in the financial statements for 2005
attributable to these options. Non-cash compensation expense
recognized in the financial statements during 2005 relate to the
expense associated with restricted stock awards. The following table
details non-cash compensation expense for the 2006 and 2005:

The Company will not be hosting a Conference Call or Webcast

As a result of the Clear Channel Communications, Inc. proposed
merger transaction that was announced on November 16, 2006, the
Company will not be hosting a teleconference or webcast to discuss
results.

First Quarter and 2007 Outlook

Due to the proposed merger transaction of Clear Channel
Communications, Inc. and the Company not hosting a teleconference to
discuss financial and operating results, the Company is providing the
following information regarding its expectations and current
information related to 2007 operating results.

Pacing information presented below reflects revenues booked at a
specific date versus the comparable date in the prior period and may
or may not reflect the actual revenue growth at the end of the period.
The Company's revenue pacing information includes an adjustment to
prior periods to include all acquisitions and exclude all divestitures
in both periods presented for comparative purposes. All pacing metrics
exclude the effects of foreign exchange movements. The Company's
operating expense forecasts are on a reportable basis excluding
non-cash compensation expense, i.e. there is not an adjustment for
acquisitions, divestitures or the effects of foreign exchange
movements.

As of February 22, 2007, the Company's revenues are pacing up 5.8%
with the Americas above and International below the 5.8% pacing for
the first quarter 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006. For
the full year 2007 versus the full year 2006, the Company's revenues
are pacing up 6.6% with the Americas above and International below the
full-year pacing of 6.6%.

For the full year 2007 as compared to the full year 2006, current
Company forecasts show high single-digit to low double-digit growth in
total operating expenses for the Company. Excluding the effects of
movements in foreign exchange, which management currently forecasts at
a $60 to $65 million increase for the full year 2007 and excluding
management's forecast of Interspace's (acquired by the Company on July
1, 2006) operating expenses of $18 to $20 million for the first six
months of 2007, operating expense growth is currently forecasted to be
in the mid single-digits for 2007 as compared to 2006.

For the consolidated company, current management forecasts show
corporate expenses of $60 to $65 million for the full year 2007.
Non-cash compensation expense (i.e. FAS No. 123 R: share-based
payments) are currently projected to be in the range of $5 million to
$8 million for the full year of 2007.

The Company currently forecasts overall capital expenditures for
2007 of $225 to $250 million, excluding any capital expenditures
associated with any new contract wins the Company may have during
2007.

Income tax expense as a percent of 'Income before income taxes and
minority interest' is currently projected to be approximately 41%.
Current income tax expense as a percent of 'Income before income taxes
and minority interest' is currently expected to be 30% to 35%.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (D&A),
Non-cash Compensation Expense and Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Assets
- - Net (OIBDAN)

The following tables set forth Clear Channel Outdoor's OIBDAN for
the three months and years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The
Company defines OIBDAN as net income adjusted to exclude non-cash
compensation expense and the following line items presented in its
Statement of Operations: Minority interest, net of tax; Income tax
benefit (expense); Other income (expense) - net; Equity in earnings of
nonconsolidated affiliates; Interest expense; Gain (loss) on
disposition of assets - net; and, D&A.

The Company uses OIBDAN, among other things, to evaluate the
Company's operating performance. This measure is among the primary
measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future
periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of
executives and other members of management. This measure is an
important indicator of the Company's operational strength and
performance of its business because it provides a link between
profitability and cash flows from operating activities. It is also a
primary measure used by management in evaluating companies as
potential acquisition targets.

The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant
and useful for investors because it allows investors to view
performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company's
management. It helps improve investors' ability to understand the
Company's operating performance and makes it easier to compare the
Company's results with other companies that have different capital
structures, stock option structures or tax rates. In addition, this
measure is also among the primary measures used externally by the
Company's investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes
of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to
other companies in its industry.

Since OIBDAN is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP,
it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for,
net income as an indicator of operating performance and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
OIBDAN is not necessarily a measure of the Company's ability to fund
its cash needs. As it excludes certain financial information compared
with operating income and net income (loss), the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures, users of this financial
information should consider the types of events and transactions,
which are excluded.

In addition, because a significant portion of the Company's
advertising operations are conducted in foreign markets, principally
France and the United Kingdom, management reviews the operating
results from its foreign operations on a constant dollar basis. A
constant dollar basis (i.e. a foreign currency adjustment is made to
the 2006 actual foreign revenues and expenses at average 2005 foreign
exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of
foreign exchange movements.

As required by the SEC, the Company provides reconciliations below
of, including (i) OIBDAN for each segment to consolidated operating
income; (ii) Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects to revenue;
(iii) Expense excluding foreign exchange effects to expense; (vi)
OIBDAN to net income, the most directly comparable amounts reported
under GAAP and (v) Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding
certain items discussed earlier.
