Rich Bressler, Chief Financial Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor Holding, Inc. said: “In the second quarter, our consolidated results declined.

Second Quarter 2017 Results

Consolidated

Consolidated revenue decreased $35.8 million, or 5.1%, during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. Consolidated revenue increased $15.7 million, or 2.3%, after adjusting for a $15.5 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and the $36.1 million impact from the sale of non-strategic businesses.

Consolidated direct operating and SG&A expenses decreased $21.5 million, or 4.3%, during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. Consolidated direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $19.9 million, or 4.3%, in the second quarter, after adjusting for a $12.4 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and the $29.1 million impact from the sale of non-strategic businesses.

Consolidated operating income increased 162.3% to $90.4 million, during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to 2016 net losses on the sale of operating assets including the sale of our Turkey outdoor market.

The Company’s OIBDAN decreased 11.5% to $162.8 million, during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. The Company’s OIBDAN decreased 6.7% in the second quarter 2017 compared to the same period of 2016, after adjusting for movements in foreign exchange rates and the impact from the sale of non-strategic businesses.

Americas

Americas outdoor revenues decreased $1.6 million, or 0.5%, during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. Revenues decreased $2.1 million, or 0.6%, after adjusting for a $0.5 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in revenue resulting from the exchange of outdoor markets and a decrease in print display revenues. This was partially offset by increased revenue from digital billboards, as well as higher revenue from new print wall displays.

Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $2.0 million, or 1.0%, during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased $1.7 million, or 0.8%, after adjusting for a $0.3 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates. Direct operating and SG&A expenses increased primarily from the impact of a $2.9 million early termination lease payment received in 2016 and higher fixed site lease expenses, partially offset by lower marketing, bad debt and bonus expenses.

Operating income decreased 1.7% to $78.7 million during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. OIBDAN decreased $3.6 million, or 2.8%.

Revenues increased $17.8 million, or 5.1%, after adjusting for a $16.0 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates and the $36.1 million impact from the sale of our businesses in Australia and Turkey. The increase is primarily due to growth across several markets including Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and China, primarily from new contracts and digital expansion.

Operating income decreased 9.2% to $40.6 million during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. OIBDAN decreased $10.7 million, or 12.9%.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following tables set forth the Company’s OIBDAN for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company defines OIBDAN as consolidated operating income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses, included within corporate expenses, as well as the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: Depreciation and amortization; Impairment charges; and Other operating income (expense), net.

The Company uses OIBDAN, among other measures, to evaluate the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s management. The Company believes 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 or tax rates. In addition, the Company believes 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, 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 Company’s 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 expenses and 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 from markets and businesses sold and (iii) corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation expenses and the effects of foreign exchange rates.

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 Company’s 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 period’s 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 sold its businesses in Australia and Turkey in the second and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company sold its Indianapolis market. The Company presents revenues, direct operating and SG&A expenses and OIBDAN, each excluding the effects of foreign exchange rates and the results from markets and businesses sold, for the consolidated Company and the Company’s segments, in order to facilitate investors’ understanding of operational trends without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the results from the markets and businesses that were sold, as these results will not be included in the Company’s 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 rules, the Company provides reconciliations below to the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP, including (i) OIBDAN, excluding effects of foreign exchange rates and OIBDAN for each segment, to consolidated and segment operating income (loss); (ii) revenues, excluding effects of foreign exchange rates, to revenues; (iii) direct operating and SG&A expenses, excluding effects of foreign exchange rates, to direct operating and SG&A expenses; (iv) corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation expenses and effects of foreign exchange rates, to corporate expenses; (v) Consolidated and segment revenues, excluding effects of foreign exchange rates and results from markets and businesses sold, to Consolidated and segment revenues; (vi) Consolidated and segment direct operating and SG&A expenses, excluding effects of foreign exchange rates and results from markets and businesses sold, to Consolidated and segment direct operating and SG&A expenses; and (vii) Consolidated and segment OIBDAN, excluding effects of foreign exchange rates and results from markets and businesses sold, to Consolidated and segment operating income.
