San Antonio, May 4, 2016 Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Were pleased with our progress at both our Americas and International outdoor operations, as we continued to win major contracts and roll out a full range of new technologies to better serve advertisers and consumers, said Bob Pittman, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. Americas outdoors streamlined organization is redoubling its focus on customers while bringing powerful innovations to market, including our data analytics solution that uses aggregated, anonymous, statistical insights from third-party data providers to enable marketers to better target their campaigns and programmatic initiatives aimed at making it easier for agencies and advertisers to buy inventory.

Americas outdoor continued to optimize our footprint during the quarter, enabling us to better focus our operations and free up resources for more investments in innovation, and at International outdoor we won a number of key contracts in the quarter while continuing to build out our digital business.

First Quarter 2016 Results
Consolidated
Consolidated revenues increased 1.8% after adjusting for a $15 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and the $20 million impact of the non-strategic outdoor markets we sold in the first quarter of 2016. On a reported basis, consolidated revenue decreased 4.0%.
After adjusting for movements in foreign exchange rates and the impact of the sale of non-strategic outdoor markets, the Companys OIBDAN1 was up 4.8% in the first quarter 2016 compared to the same period of 2015. Included in the 2016 first quarter OIBDAN1 were $2 million of operating expenses and $0.3 million of corporate expenses associated with the Companys strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives, $1 million lower than such expenses in the prior year. On a reported basis, OIBDAN1 was down 3.8% to $94 million for the first quarter compared to the same period in 2015.
The Companys consolidated net income totaled $141 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to consolidated net loss of $33 million in the same period of 2015. The increase was primarily due to the $282 million gain recognized on the sale of nine non-strategic markets at the beginning of the year.
Americas
Americas outdoor revenues increased $12 million, or 4.2%, after adjusting for a $5 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and a $20 million impact from the sale of non-strategic markets. In the first quarter of 2016, we sold nine non-strategic markets for net proceeds of $596.6 million in cash and certain assets in Florida. These non-strategic markets generated revenues of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $22.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. The revenue increase was driven by higher revenues from digital billboards as a result of new deployments, organic growth and higher occupancy, as well as higher revenues from static bulletins as a result of higher occupancy. On a reported basis, revenues decreased $13 million, or 4.5%.
3
Operating expenses increased $8 million, or 4.1%, during the first quarter 2016 as compared to the first quarter 2015 after adjusting for a $4 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and a $12 million impact from the sale of non-strategic markets, primarily due to higher variable compensation and higher variable site lease expenses related to the increase in revenues from remaining markets. On a reported basis, operating expenses decreased $9 million, or 4.2%.
OIBDAN increased 4.5% during the first quarter 2016 as compared to the first quarter 2015 after adjusting for a $1 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and the $8 million impact from sale of non-strategic markets. On a reported basis, OIBDAN was down $5 million, or 5.1%.
International
International outdoor revenues decreased $1 million, or 0.3%, during the first quarter 2016 as compared to the first quarter 2015 after adjusting for a $10 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates. Higher revenue in Australia due to new digital assets and China due to new contracts and higher occupancy, as well as in several European countries including France and Belgium, was offset by decreases in revenue driven primarily by lower revenue in the United Kingdom as a result of the London bus shelter contract not being renewed and decreases in Switzerland. On a reported basis, revenues decreased $11 million, or 3.4%.
Operating expenses decreased $1 million, or 0.3%, during the first quarter 2016 as compared to the first quarter 2015 after adjusting for a $10 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to lower rent expense due to lower revenue in the United Kingdom, partially offset by higher variable site lease and maintenance expenses, as well as higher sales force and office renovation costs in the United Kingdom. On a reported basis, operating expenses decreased $11 million, or 3.8%.
OIBDAN decreased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, during the first quarter 2016 as compared to the first quarter 2015 after adjusting for a $0.2 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates. On a reported basis, OIBDAN was up $0.1 million, or 0.3%.
Clear Channel International B.V. (CCIBV)
CCIBVs consolidated revenues decreased $13 million, or 4.7%, to $261 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease includes a $10 million decrease resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates.
CCIBVs operating loss decreased $6 million, or 29.4%, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease includes a $1 million decrease resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates.
Liquidity and Financial Position
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash flow provided by operating activities was $16 million, cash flow provided by investing activities was $524 million, cash flow used by financing activities was $466 million, and there was $4 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates on cash. The net increase in cash was $77 million.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were approximately $47 million compared to $42 million for the same period in 2015.
In the first quarter of 2016, Americas outdoor sold nine non-strategic outdoor markets including Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, Des Moines, Iowa, Ft. Smith, Arkansas, Memphis, Tennessee, Portland, Oregon, Reno, Nevada, Seattle, Washington and Wichita, Kansas for net proceeds, including cash and certain advertising assets in Florida, of $596.6 million. The Company recognized a net gain of $282 million. These markets generated revenue of $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, and $22.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015.
On January 21, 2016, the Board declared a special cash dividend of $540.0 million to our stockholders, which was paid on February 4, 2016, using proceeds relating to a $300 million demand on the intercompany note owed by iHeartCommunications to the Company and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of non-strategic domestic outdoor markets.
The 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 7.6:1 at March 31, 2016, and the senior leverage ratio, defined as senior debt divided by EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures) for the preceding four quarters was 4.0:1 at March 31, 2016. As required by the definition of EBITDA in the CCWH Senior Notes indentures, our EBITDA for the
4
preceding four quarters of $682 million is calculated as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and other operating income (expense), net, plus share-based compensation, and is further adjusted for the following items: (i) costs incurred in connection with the closure and/or consolidation of facilities, retention charges, consulting fees and other permitted activities; (ii) extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains or losses or expenses and severance; (iii) non-cash charges; (iv) cash received from nonconsolidated affiliates; and (v) various other items.
The following table reflects a reconciliation of consolidated EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures) to operating income and net cash provided by operating activities for the four quarters ended March 31, 2016:

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
The following tables set forth the Companys OIBDAN for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company defines OIBDAN as consolidated net income (loss) adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses and amortization of deferred system implementation costs as well as the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: Income tax benefit (expense); Other income (expense), net; Equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; Interest expense; Interest income on Due from iHeartCommunications, 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. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of its 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.
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, equity compensation 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 Europe, 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 translate our 2016 actual foreign revenues, expenses and OIBDAN in local currency to U.S. dollars using average 2015 foreign exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of foreign exchange rate movements.
7
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; (vi) Consolidated and Americas outdoor revenues, operating expenses and OIBDAN excluding the effects of foreign exchange and outdoor markets sold to Consolidated and Americas outdoor revenues, operating expenses and OIBDAN; and (vii) OIBDAN to net income (loss).
