CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS

RESULTS FOR 2011 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR

2011 Revenues increase 7% to $3.0 billion

-----------------

San Antonio, Texas February 21, 2012…Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.

“We made significant progress in our Americas and International businesses over the quarter and full year,” said Bob Pittman, Executive Chairman of the Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. Board of Directors. “Not only did the Company generate solid revenue and profit performance in 2011, but it also greatly expanded its digital capability in both the U.S. and Europe. With William Eccleshare now leading both our Americas and International operations, we look forward to continuing to invest in our cutting-edge assets, build stronger connections with our advertising partners, benefit from our global experience, and capitalize on our talent around the world to keep innovating.”

“The Company delivered solid revenue growth in 2011 despite the sluggish global economy, while OIBDAN climbed 15% thanks to expanded operating profit margin year over year,” said Tom Casey, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Over the past year, we continued to invest for future growth – adding 242 new digital billboards for a total of 857 across 37 U.S. markets by year’s end and expanded our digital footprint to several new international markets, such as Sweden and the U.K. As we enter 2012, with our strong operating platform, talented employees and financial discipline, we are well prepared to benefit from a global economic recovery.”

Full Year 2011 Results

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings’ revenues increased 7% to $3.0 billion for the full year 2011 compared to $2.8 billion in 2010. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates1, revenues rose 4%.

Americas revenues grew $47 million, or 4%, compared to 2010, driven by growth across bulletin, airport and shelter displays, and particularly digital displays, due to increased capacity and rates.

International revenues rose $159 million, or 11%, compared to 2010, resulting mainly from higher street furniture revenues across various markets. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates, revenues increased 5%.

The Company’s OIBDAN1 improved 15% to $745 million in 2011 compared to $648 million in 2010. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates, OIBDAN increased 13%.

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $43 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in 2011 compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of $88 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in 2010.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

The Company reported revenues of $816 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a 3% increase from the $793 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates, revenues grew 2%.

Americas revenues decreased $3 million, or 1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Revenues from bulletin displays, primarily digital, and airports grew during the fourth quarter of 2011, offset by declines in poster and mall displays, among other products. The effects of movements in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impact revenue growth in the quarter.

International revenues rose $26 million, or 6%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, resulting from growth in street furniture revenues across various markets, particularly China, Sweden, and Australia. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates, revenues were up 5%.

2The Company’s operating expenses include direct operating expenses and SG&A expenses, but exclude non-cash compensation expenses associated with the Company’s stock option grants and restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. Corporate expenses also exclude non-cash compensation expenses associated with the Company’s stock option grants and restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards.

Americas

In 2011, Americas revenues rose $47 million, or 4%, compared to 2010, fueled mainly by growth in bulletin, airport and shelter displays, and particularly digital displays. Driving the increase in bulletin revenues were a greater number of digital displays, as well as higher rates. Airport and shelter revenues were also up primarily on higher average rates.

Operating expenses grew $27 million compared to 2010, reflecting increased site lease expenses associated with higher airport and bulletin revenues, particularly from digital displays, as well as increases from the deployment of new digital displays. Also contributing to the growth in expenses were higher commission expenses related to increased revenues.

Americas OIBDAN for 2011 totaled $512 million, an increase of 4% compared with OIBDAN of $492 million in 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has deployed 857 digital billboards, up 242 for the year, across 37 markets in the United States.

International

International revenues rose $159 million, or 11%, in 2011 compared to 2010, reflecting primarily higher street furniture revenues across most of the Company’s markets, particularly China and Sweden. Improved yields and additional displays contributed to the revenue increase in China, and greater yields in combination with a new contract drove the revenue growth in Sweden. The higher revenues from street furniture were partially offset by declines in billboard revenues across several markets, primarily Italy and the U.K. In addition, foreign exchange rate movements resulted in an $82 million increase in revenues in 2011. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates, revenues were up 5%.

Operating expenses increased $100 million in 2011, attributable mainly to a $68 million increase from movements in foreign exchange rates. Higher site lease as well as selling and marketing expenses associated with the growth in revenues were partially offset by a decline in restructuring expenses. Also contributing to the growth in expenses was a $6 million increase related to the unfavorable impact of litigation.

Led by the revenue growth from the Company’s street furniture business across a number of countries, International OIBDAN in 2011 was up 23% to $323 million from $263 million in 2010. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates, OIBDAN rose 17%.

The current portion of long-term debt, which is included in Other Debt, was $23.8 million as of December 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Financial Position

For the year ended December 31, 2011, cash flow provided by operating activities was $517 million, cash flow used for investing activities was $299 million, cash flow used for financing activities was $299 million, and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash was $1 million, for a net decrease in cash of $81 million.

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled approximately $291 million compared to $195 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. Notes indentures restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit the Company to incur additional indebtedness based on an incurrence test. In order to incur additional indebtedness under this test, the Company’s debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indentures) must be lower than 6.5:1 and 3.25:1 for total debt and senior debt, respectively. The Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. Series B Notes indenture permits the Company to pay dividends from the proceeds of indebtedness or the proceeds from asset sales if the Company’s debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indenture) are lower than 6.0:1 and 3.0:1 for total debt and senior debt, respectively. If these ratios are not met, the Company has certain exceptions that allow the Company to pay dividends, including a $500 million exception for the payment of dividends.

Consolidated leverage ratio, defined as total debt divided by EBITDA for the preceding four quarters, was 3.2:1 at December 31, 2011, and senior leverage ratio, defined as senior debt divided by EBITDA for the preceding four quarters, was also 3.2:1 at December 31, 2011. The Company’s adjusted EBITDA of $807.7 million is calculated as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and other operating income (expense) – net, plus non-cash compensation, and is further adjusted for the following items: (i) an increase of $32.0 million for non-cash items; (ii) an increase of $21.0 million related to expenses incurred in connection with the closure and/or consolidation of facilities, retention charges, consulting fees and other permitted activities; and (iii) an increase of $9.7 million for various other items.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following tables set forth the Company’s OIBDAN for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; Gain (loss) on marketable securities; Interest expense; Other operating income (expense) – net; D&A; and Impairment charges.

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. 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 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 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, stock option 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, 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 that are excluded.

In addition, because a significant portion of the Company's 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 2011 actual foreign revenues, expenses and OIBDAN at average 2010 foreign exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of foreign exchange movements.

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 foreign exchange effects to revenues; (iii) Expenses excluding foreign exchange effects to expenses; (iv) OIBDAN excluding foreign exchange effects to OIBDAN; (v) Expenses excluding non-cash compensation expenses to expenses; (vi) Corporate expenses excluding non-cash compensation expenses to Corporate expenses; and (vii) OIBDAN to net income (loss).
