Third Quarter 2014 Results

| Americas revenues decreased $2 million, or 1% ($1 million, or 0%, excluding foreign exchange impacts), primarily driven by lower national account revenues. Higher digital revenues were partially offset by decreases in revenues from traditional product lines. |

2 | The Companys operating expenses include direct operating and SG&A expenses. |
Americas
Americas revenues decreased $2 million, or 1% ($1 million, or 0%, excluding foreign exchange impacts), compared to the same period in 2013, primarily driven by lower national account revenues and the nonrenewal of certain airport contracts. Higher digital revenues were partially offset by decreases in revenues from traditional product lines.
Operating expenses declined $1 million (or flat excluding foreign exchange impacts) during the third quarter of 2014 versus the same period in 2013 due primarily to property tax refunds and lower commissions partially offset by higher expenses related to litigation.
OIBDAN declined $1 million, or 1% (to $134 million) in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.
International
International revenues increased $22 million, or 6% ($21 million, or 5%, excluding foreign exchange impacts), compared to the same period in 2013, primarily driven by revenue growth in Europe including Italy, due to a new contract for the Rome airports, as well as France and Sweden. Revenue in emerging markets also increased, particularly in China, as a result of new contracts.
Operating expenses increased $14 million (or $12 million excluding foreign exchange impacts) during the third quarter of 2014 versus the same period in 2013 primarily driven by higher variable site lease costs and compensation expenses related to higher revenues generated from new contracts, as well as higher expenses from investing in our digital sales force.
3
OIBDAN was up $8 million, or 13% (14% excluding foreign exchange impacts) (to $69 million) in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, cash provided by operating activities was $189 million, cash flow used for investing activities totalled $111 million, cash flow used for financing activities was $184 million, and the net effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a $4 million decrease. The net decrease in cash was $111 million.
Capital expenditures were approximately $135 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $114 million for the same period in 2013.
Consolidated leverage ratio, defined as total debt divided by EBITDA (as defined by the Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings (CCWH) Senior Notes indentures) for the preceding four quarters was 6.4:1 at September 30, 2014, and senior leverage ratio, defined as senior debt divided by EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures) for the preceding four quarters was 3.6:1 at September 30, 2014.

On August 11, 2014, the Company (1) demanded repayment of $175 million outstanding under the Revolving Promissory Note with iHeartCommunications, Inc. (the Due from iHeartCommunications Note) and (2) concurrently paid a special cash dividend in an aggregate amount equal to $175 million (or $0.4865 per share) to its Class A and Class B stockholders of record at the close of business on August 4, 2014. As the indirect parent of the Company, iHeart received approximately 88% of the proceeds from such dividend through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The remaining 12% of the proceeds from the dividend, or approximately $21 million, was paid to the public stockholders of the Company and is included in Dividends paid in the Companys consolidated statement of cash flows. Following satisfaction of the demand, the balance outstanding under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note was reduced by $175 million.
Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
The following tables set forth the Companys OIBDAN for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company defines OIBDAN as consolidated net income (loss) adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses and the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: Income tax benefit (expense); Other income (expense), net; Equity in loss of nonconsolidated affiliates; Interest expense; Interest income on Due from iHeart Communications, Inc.; Other operating income, net; D&A; and Impairment charges.
The Company uses OIBDAN, among other things, to evaluate the Companys operating performance. This measure is among the primary measures used by management for the planning and forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of executives and other members of management. We believe this measure is an important indicator of the Companys operational strength and performance of its business because it provides a link between profitability and net income. It is also a primary measure used by management in evaluating companies as potential acquisition targets.
6
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 Companys management. The Company believes it helps improve investors ability to understand the Companys operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Companys results with other companies that have different capital structures, stock option structures or tax rates. In addition, the Company believes this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys advertising operations are conducted in foreign markets, principally the Euro area, the U.K. and China, management reviews the operating results from its foreign operations on a constant dollar basis. A constant dollar basis (in which a foreign currency adjustment is made to show the 2014 actual foreign revenues, expenses and OIBDAN at average 2013 foreign exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of movements in foreign exchange rates.
As required by the SEC, the Company provides reconciliations below to the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP, including (i) OIBDAN for each segment to consolidated operating income (loss); (ii) Revenues excluding the effects of foreign exchange to revenues; (iii) Expenses excluding the effects of foreign exchange to expenses; (iv) OIBDAN excluding the effects of foreign exchange to OIBDAN; (v) Corporate expenses excluding non-cash compensation expenses to Corporate expenses; and (vi) OIBDAN to net loss.
