Second Quarter 2016 Results
Consolidated
Consolidated revenue decreased $10.7 million, or 1.5%, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Consolidated revenue increased $22.6 million, or 3.2%, after adjusting for a $6.2 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and the $27.1 million impact of the non-strategic outdoor markets we sold in the first quarter of 2016.
Consolidated direct operating and SG&A expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 0.6%, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Consolidated direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $16.2 million, or 3.3%, in the second quarter, after adjusting for a $5.0 million impact of movements in foreign exchange rates and the $14.5 million impact of the non-strategic outdoor markets we sold in the first quarter of 2016.
Consolidated operating income decreased 63.7% to $34.5 million, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to the $56.6 million loss recognized in the second quarter of 2016 related to the disposal of the Companys business in Turkey.

The Companys OIBDAN1 was up 4.3% in the second quarter 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, after adjusting for movements in foreign exchange rates and the impact of the sale of non-strategic outdoor markets.
Included in the 2016 second quarter operating income and OIBDAN were $1.2 million of direct operating and SG&A expenses and $0.1 million of corporate expenses associated with the Companys strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives, a decrease of $3.1 million compared to such expenses in the prior year.
Americas
Americas outdoor revenues decreased $15.8 million, or 4.6%, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Revenues increased $14.3 million, or 4.6%, after adjusting for a $3.0 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and a $27.1 million impact from the non-strategic markets sold in the first quarter of 2016. In the first quarter of 2016, we sold nine non-strategic markets which generated revenues of $27.1 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease resulting from these sales was partially offset by increased revenues from digital billboards as a result of new deployments and higher occupancy on existing digital billboards, as well as new airport contracts and higher revenues from print bulletins.
Direct operating and SG&A expenses decreased $9.2 million, or 4.4%, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $7.6 million, or 3.9%, during the second quarter 2016, after adjusting for a $2.3 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and the $14.5 million impact from the sale of non-strategic markets, primarily due to higher variable site lease and variable compensation expense, and increased expenses for property taxes.
Operating income decreased 3.6% to $80.1 million. OIBDAN was down $6.6 million, or 4.9%, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015.

International

Revenues increased $8.3 million, or 2.2%, during the second quarter 2016, after adjusting for a $3.2 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates. Higher revenue from new digital assets in Australia and new contracts and higher occupancy across several countries including France and China, was partially offset by lower revenue in the United Kingdom, as a result of the London bus shelter contract not being renewed.
4
Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $6.0 million, or 2.0%, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $8.6 million, or 2.9%, during the second quarter 2016, after adjusting for a $2.7 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates. Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased primarily due to higher site lease, production and compensation expenses related to higher revenues, as well as higher office expenses in China and the United Kingdom, partially offset by lower site lease expense due to lower revenue in the United Kingdom.
Operating income increased 4.5% to $44.7 million. OIBDAN was down $0.9 million, or 1.0%, during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015.

CCIBVs operating loss was $39.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to operating income of $17.3 million in the same period in 2015. Operating income (loss) decreased primarily due to the loss of $56.6 million on the sale of the outdoor market in Turkey.

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company revised its presentation of OIBDAN to eliminate the adjustment for amortization of deferred system implementation costs. The Company incurred these costs for the first time during 2015 and excluded them from its calculation of OIBDAN in 2015 to enhance comparability of the Companys underlying financial performance during 2015 as compared to 2014. As amortization of deferred system implementation costs are now reflected in both the 2015 and 2016 periods, and are recurring expenses, the Company no longer believes excluding these costs enhances the comparability of the Companys underlying financial performance. The Company does not believe this change will have a significant impact on its OIBDAN presentation.
The Company uses OIBDAN, among other measures, 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 operational performance and operating 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, 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, operating 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, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.
The other non-GAAP financial measures presented in the tables below are: (i) revenues, direct operating and SG&A expensesand OIBDAN, each excluding the effects of foreign exchange rates; (ii) revenues, direct operating and SG&A expenses and OIBDAN, each excluding the effects of foreign exchange rates and the results of Americas markets sold and (iv) corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation expenses.
The Company presents revenues, direct operating and SG&A expenses and OIBDAN, each excluding the effects of foreign exchange rates, because management believes that viewing certain financial results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates facilitates period to period comparisons of business performance and provides useful information to investors. A significant portion of the Companys advertising operations are conducted in foreign markets, principally Europe, the U.K. and China, and management reviews the results from its foreign operations on a constant dollar basis. Revenues, direct operating and SG&A expenses and OIBDAN, each excluding the effects of foreign exchange rates, are calculated by converting the current periods amounts in local currency to U.S. dollars using average foreign exchange rates for the prior period.
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company sold nine non-strategic Americas markets. The Company presents revenues, direct operating and SG&A expenses and OIBDAN, each excluding the effects of foreign exchange rates and the results of Americas markets sold, for the consolidated Company and the Americas segment, in order to facilitate investors understanding of operational trends without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the results of the markets that were sold, as these results will not be included in the Companys results in current and future periods.
Corporate expenses excluding the effects of non-cash compensation expenses is presented as OIBDAN excludes non-cash compensation expenses.
Since these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as an indicator of operating performance.
As required by the SEC, the Company provides reconciliations below to the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP, including (i) OIBDAN excluding effects of foreign exchange and OIBDAN for each segment to consolidated and segment operating income; (ii) Revenues excluding the effects of foreign exchange to revenues; (iii) Direct operating and SG&A expenses excluding the effects of foreign exchange to direct operating and SG&A expenses; (iv) Corporate expenses excluding non-cash compensation expenses to Corporate expenses; (v) Consolidated and Americas revenues, direct operating and SG&A expenses and OIBDAN excluding the effects of foreign exchange and outdoor markets sold to Consolidated and Americas revenues, direct operating and SG&A expenses and Operating income.
