NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our reportable segments are Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas”) and International outdoor advertising (“International”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and give effect to allocations of expenses from the Company’s indirect parent entity, iHeartCommunications, Inc. (formerly, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. or “iHeartCommunications”). These allocations were made on a specifically identifiable basis or using relative percentages of headcount or other methods management considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. Also included in the consolidated financial statements are entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which the Company owns 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting common stock or otherwise exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the Company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation.

During the first quarter of 2015, and in connection with the appointment of a new chief executive officer for the Company and a new chief executive officer for Americas, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting and determined that its Latin American operations should be managed by its Americas leadership team. As a result, the operations of Latin America are no longer reflected within the Company’s International segment and are included in the results of its Americas segment. Accordingly, the Company has recast the corresponding segment disclosures for prior periods to include Latin America within the Americas segment.

New Accounting Pronouncements

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of discontinued operations. The amendments were effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2014 and were to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for such obligations that existed at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This new standard eliminates the deferral of FAS 167, which has allowed entities with interest in certain investment funds to follow the previous consolidation guidance in FIN 46(R), and makes other changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. The standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

(In thousands)	March 31,		December 31,
	2015		2014

Less: accumulated depreciation		1,524,895		1,519,764
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,831,167	$	1,905,651

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of billboard permits in its Americas segment. Due to significant differences in both business practices and regulations, billboards in the International segment and in Latin America are subject to long-term, finite contracts unlike the Company’s permits in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, there are no indefinite-lived intangible assets in the International segment.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements. The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of transit and street furniture contracts, site-leases and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. Permanent easements are indefinite-lived intangible assets which include certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets. These assets are recorded at cost.

The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of other intangible assets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

(In thousands)		March 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Transit, street furniture and other outdoor contractual rights		$	666,820	$	(445,796)	$	716,722	$	(476,523)
Permanent easements			171,238		-		171,272		-
Other			2,956		(1,866)		2,912		(2,319)
	Total	$	841,014	$	(447,662)	$	890,906	$	(478,842)

Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets was $14.7 million and $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $5.2 billion and $5.1 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820-10-35, the market value of the Company’s debt is classified as Level 1.

Guarantees

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $63.2 million and $49.5 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding, respectively. Bank guarantees of $12.4 million were backed by cash collateral. Additionally, as of March 31, 2015, iHeartCommunications had outstanding commercial standby letters of credit and surety bonds of $1.2 million and $44.2 million,

CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

respectively, held on behalf of the Company. These letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds relate to various operational matters, including insurance, bid and performance bonds, as well as other items.

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; and tax disputes.

Los Angeles Litigation

In 2008, Summit Media, LLC, one of the Company’s competitors, sued the City of Los Angeles (the “City”), Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and OUTFRONT Media Inc. (formerly CBS Outdoor Americas Inc.) in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. BS116611) challenging the validity of a settlement agreement that had been entered into in November 2006 among the parties and pursuant to which Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had taken down existing billboards and converted 83 existing signs from static displays to digital displays. In 2009 the Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that the settlement agreement constituted an ultra vires act of the City, and nullified its existence. After further proceedings, on April 12, 2013 the Los Angeles Superior Court invalidated 82 digital modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (77 of which displays were operating at the time of the ruling), and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. was required to turn off the electrical power to all affected digital displays on April 15, 2013. The digital display structures remain intact but digital displays are currently prohibited in the City. Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. is seeking permits under the existing City sign code to either wrap the LED faces with vinyl or convert the LED faces to traditional static signs, and has obtained a number of such permits. Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. is also pursuing a new ordinance to permit digital signage in the City.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company records net amounts due from or to iHeartCommunications as “Due from/to iHeartCommunications” on the consolidated balance sheets. The accounts represent the revolving promissory note issued by the Company to iHeartCommunications and the revolving promissory note issued by iHeartCommunications to the Company in the face amount of $1.0 billion, or if more or less than such amount, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances. The accounts accrue interest pursuant to the terms of the promissory notes and are generally payable on demand or when they mature on December 15, 2017.

Included in the accounts are the net activities resulting from day-to-day cash management services provided by iHeartCommunications. As a part of these services, the Company maintains collection bank accounts swept daily into accounts of iHeartCommunications (after satisfying the funding requirements of the Trustee Accounts under the CCWH Senior Notes and the CCWH Subordinated Notes). In return, iHeartCommunications funds the Company’s controlled disbursement accounts as checks or electronic payments are presented for payment. The Company’s claim in relation to cash transferred from its concentration account is on an unsecured basis and is limited to the balance of the “Due from iHeartCommunications” account.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the asset recorded in “Due from iHeartCommunications” on the consolidated balance sheet was $886.3 million and $947.8 million, respectively. At March 31, 2015, the fixed interest rate on the “Due from iHeartCommunications” account was 6.5%, which is equal to the fixed interest rate on the CCWH Senior Notes. The net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $15.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

The Company provides advertising space on its billboards for radio stations owned by iHeartCommunications. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $1.1 million and $1.0 million in revenue for these advertisements, respectively.

Under the Corporate Services Agreement between iHeartCommunications and the Company, iHeartCommunications provides management services to the Company, which include, among other things: (i) treasury, payroll and other financial related services; (ii) certain executive officer services; (iii) human resources and employee benefits services; (iv) legal and related services; (v) information systems, network and related services; (vi) investment services; (vii) procurement and sourcing support services; and (viii) other general corporate services. These services are charged to the Company based on actual direct costs incurred or allocated by iHeartCommunications based on headcount, revenue or other factors on a pro rata basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $7.9 million and $9.1 million as a component of corporate expense for these services, respectively.

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement between iHeartCommunications and the Company, the operations of the Company are included in a consolidated federal income tax return filed by iHeartCommunications. The Company’s provision for income taxes has been computed on the basis that the Company files separate consolidated federal income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Tax payments are made to iHeartCommunications on the basis of the Company’s separate taxable income. Tax benefits recognized on the Company’s employee stock option exercises are retained by the Company.

The Company computes its deferred income tax provision using the liability method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, as if the Company was a separate taxpayer. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if the Company believes it is more likely than not some portion or all of the asset will not be realized.

Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company’s employees participate in iHeartCommunications’ employee benefit plans, including employee medical insurance and a 401(k) retirement benefit plan. These costs are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and were approximately $2.7 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Stock Purchases

On August 9, 2010, iHeartCommunications announced that its board of directors approved a stock purchase program under which iHeartCommunications or its subsidiaries may purchase up to an aggregate of $100 million of the Company’s Class A common stock and/or the Class A common stock of iHeartMedia, Inc. (“iHeartMedia”). The stock purchase program did not have a fixed expiration date and could be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at iHeartCommunications’ discretion. During 2011, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased 1,553,971 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock through open market purchases for approximately $16.4 million. During 2014, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for approximately $48.8 million. On January 7, 2015, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased an additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for $20.4 million.

On April 2, 2015, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased an additional 2,172,946 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for $22.2 million, increasing iHeartCommunications’ collective holdings to represent slightly more than 90% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis, assuming the conversion of all of the Company’s Class B common stock into Class A common stock. As a result of this purchase, the stock purchase program concluded. The purchase of shares in excess of the amount available under the stock purchase program was separately approved by the iHeartCommunications’ board of directors.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, consisted of the following components:

(In thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014
Current tax benefit (expense)	$	28,836	$	(39,411)
Deferred tax benefit (expense)		(4,737)		22,465
Income tax benefit (expense)	$	24,099	$	(16,946)

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 42.2 %. The effective rate was primarily impacted by the uncertainty of the ability to recognize the future benefit of certain deferred tax assets that consists of current period net operating losses in U.S. federal, state and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets as the reversing deferred tax liabilities and other sources of taxable income that may be available to realize the deferred tax assets were exceeded by deferred tax assets recognized on the additional net operating losses incurred in the current period.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was (21.3)%. The effective rate was primarily impacted by the Company’s inability to record tax benefits on tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Format of Presentation

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Our discussion is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our reportable segments are Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas”) and International outdoor advertising (“International”). Our Americas and International segments provide outdoor advertising services in their respective geographic regions using various digital and traditional display types. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation.

We manage our operating segments primarily focusing on their operating income, while Corporate expenses, Other operating income (expense), net, Interest expense, Interest income on the Revolving Promissory Note issued by iHeartCommunications to the Company (the “Due from iHeartCommunications Note”), Equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates, Other income, net and Income tax benefit (expense) are managed on a total company basis and are, therefore, included only in our discussion of consolidated results.

Management typically monitors our businesses by reviewing the average rates, average revenue per display, occupancy and inventory levels of each of our display types by market. Our advertising revenue is derived from selling advertising space on the displays we own or operate in key markets worldwide, consisting primarily of billboards, street furniture and transit displays. Part of our long-term strategy is to pursue the technology of digital displays, including flat screens, LCDs and LEDs, as additions to traditional methods of displaying our clients’ advertisements. We are currently installing these technologies in certain markets, both domestically and internationally.

Advertising revenue for our segments is correlated to changes in gross domestic product (“GDP”) as advertising spending has historically trended in line with GDP, both domestically and internationally. Internationally, our results are impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we have operations.

Executive Summary

The key developments in our business for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are summarized below:

· Consolidated revenue decreased $20.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. Excluding a $53.8 million unfavorable impact from movements in foreign exchange rates, consolidated revenue increased $33.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014.

· Americas revenue increased $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. Excluding the $3.7 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates, Americas revenue increased $9.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 primarily driven by higher revenues from digital billboards and Times Square spectaculars.

· International revenue decreased $25.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. Excluding the $50.1 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates, International revenue increased $24.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 primarily driven by growth in Europe, Australia and China.

· We spent $3.7 million on strategic revenue and cost-saving initiatives during 2015 to realign and improve our on-going business operations—a decrease of $0.5 million compared to 2014.

Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased $5.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same

period of 2014. Excluding a $12.5 million unfavorable impact from movements in foreign exchange rates, consolidated SG&A expenses increased $6.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014.

Excluding the $11.6 million impact from movements in foreign exchange rates, International SG&A expenses increased $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 primarily due to higher compensation expense, including commissions in connection with higher revenues.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses decreased $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 primarily due to lower consulting and employee compensation expenses, partially offset by higher spending on strategic revenue and efficiency costs.

Revenue and Efficiency Initiatives

Included in the amounts for direct operating expenses, SG&A and corporate expenses discussed above are expenses of $3.7 million incurred in connection with our strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The costs were incurred to improve revenue growth, enhance yield, reduce costs and organize each business to maximize performance and profitability. These costs consist primarily of severance related to workforce initiatives, consolidation of locations and positions, consulting expenses and other costs incurred in connection with streamlining our businesses. These costs are expected to provide benefits in future periods as the initiative results are realized. Of these costs during the first quarter of 2015, $0.4 million are reported within direct operating expenses, $0.8 million are reported within SG&A and $2.5 million are reported within corporate expense. In the first quarter of 2014, such costs totaled $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $4.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the impact from movements in foreign exchange rates.

Other operating income (loss), net

Other operating expense of $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2015 primarily related to acquisition/disposition transaction costs.

Other operating income of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 primarily related to proceeds received from condemnations.

Interest Income on Due From iHeartCommunications

Interest income increased $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 due to the increase in the average outstanding balance.

Other income, net

Other income of $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 primarily related to foreign exchange gains on short-term intercompany accounts.

Other income of $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 primarily related to $2.1 million in foreign exchange gains on short-term intercompany accounts partially offset by miscellaneous expenses of $0.2 million.

Income tax expense

Our operations are included in a consolidated income tax return filed by iHeartMedia. However, for our financial statements, our provision for income taxes was computed as if we file separate consolidated federal income tax returns with our subsidiaries.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 42.2%, and was primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against current period net operating losses in U.S. federal, state and certain foreign jurisdiction due to the

uncertainty of the ability to utilize those assets in future periods. In addition, the current tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was the result of applying the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year to the pre-tax losses incurred during the period.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was (21.3%), and was primarily impacted by our benefits and charges from tax amounts associated with our foreign earnings that are taxed at rates different from the federal statutory rate and an inability to benefit from losses in certain foreign jurisdictions

Partially offsetting cash used for investing activities were proceeds from sales of operating and fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities of $58.1 million during the first quarter of 2015 primarily reflected the net transfers of $61.5 million in cash from iHeartCommunications, which represents the activity in the “Due from/to iHeartCommunications” account. Other cash used for financing activities included net payments to noncontrolling interests of $2.1 million.

Cash used for financing activities of $32.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily reflected net transfers of $28.7 million in cash to iHeartCommunications, which represents the activity in the “Due from/to iHeartCommunications” account. Other cash used for financing activities included payments to noncontrolling interests of $4.0 million.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand, cash flow from operations, the senior revolving credit facility and the promissory note issued by iHeartCommunications to the Company (the “Due from iHeartCommunications Note”). Based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our markets, we believe that cash on hand, cash flows from operations, any available borrowing capacity under the senior revolving credit facility and borrowing capacity under or repayment of amounts outstanding under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other funding requirements, including the debt service on the CCWH Senior Notes and the CCWH Subordinated Notes and dividends, for at least the next 12 months. In addition, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in our material financing agreements as of March 31, 2015. We believe our long-term plans, which include promoting outdoor media spending and capitalizing on our diverse geographic and product opportunities, including the continued deployment of digital displays, will enable us to continue generating cash flows from operations sufficient to meet our liquidity and funding requirements long-term. However, our anticipated results are subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants. In addition, our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. At March 31, 2015, we had $207.3 million of cash on our balance sheet, with $186.9 million in consolidated cash balances held outside the U.S. by our subsidiaries, a portion of which is held by a non-wholly owned subsidiaries or is otherwise subject to certain restrictions and not readily ascertainable to us. We disclose in Item 8 of our Form 10-K within Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, that our policy is to permanently reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries as these earnings are generally redeployed in those jurisdictions for operating needs and continued functioning of their businesses. We have the ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of consolidated subsidiaries based outside of the United States. If any excess cash held by our foreign subsidiaries were needed to fund operations in the United States, we could presently repatriate available funds without a requirement to accrue or pay U.S. taxes. This is a result of significant current and historic deficits in our foreign earnings and profits, which gives us flexibility to make future cash distributions as non-taxable returns of capital.

In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 30, 2015, iHeartCommunications stated that it was in compliance with the covenants contained in its material financing agreements as of March 31, 2015. iHeartCommunications similarly stated in such Quarterly Report that its anticipated results are also subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that actual results will be in compliance with the covenants. Moreover, iHeartCommunications stated in such Quarterly Report that its ability to comply with the covenants in its material financing agreements may be affected by events beyond its control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. As discussed therein, the breach of any covenants set forth in iHeartCommunications’ financing agreements would result in a default thereunder, and an event of default would permit the lenders under a defaulted financing agreement to declare all indebtedness thereunder to be due and payable prior to maturity. Moreover, as discussed therein, the lenders under the receivables based credit facility under iHeartCommunications’ senior secured credit facilities would have the option to terminate their commitments to make further extensions of credit thereunder. In addition, iHeartCommunications stated in such Quarterly Report that if iHeartCommunications is unable to repay its obligations under any secured credit facility, the lenders could proceed against any assets that were pledged to secure such facility. Finally, iHeartCommunications stated in such Quarterly Report that a default or acceleration under any of its material financing agreements could cause a default under other obligations that are subject to cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions. If iHeartCommunications were to become insolvent, we would be an unsecured creditor of iHeartCommunications. In such event, we

would be treated the same as other unsecured creditors of iHeartCommunications and, if we were not entitled to the cash previously transferred to iHeartCommunications, or could not obtain such cash on a timely basis, we could experience a liquidity shortfall.

For so long as iHeartCommunications maintains significant control over us, a deterioration in the financial condition of iHeartCommunications could have the effect of increasing our borrowing costs or impairing our access to capital markets. As of March 31, 2015, iHeartCommunications had $289.0 million recorded as “Cash and cash equivalents” on its consolidated balance sheets, of which $207.3 million was held by us and our subsidiaries.

Our ability to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other obligations depends on our future operating performance and cash from operations and other liquidity-generating transactions. If our future operating performance does not meet our expectations or our plans materially change in an adverse manner or prove to be materially inaccurate, we may need additional financing. We may not be able to secure any such additional financing on terms favorable to us or at all.

We frequently evaluate strategic opportunities both within and outside our existing lines of business. We expect from time to time to pursue additional acquisitions and may decide to dispose of certain businesses. These acquisitions or dispositions could be material.

Sources of Capital
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had the following debt outstanding, cash and cash equivalents and amounts due from iHeartCommunications:

(In millions)		March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings Senior Notes due 2022		$	2,725.0	$	2,725.0
Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020			2,200.0		2,200.0
Senior Revolving Credit Facility due 2018			-		-
Other debt			12.1		15.1
Original issue discount			(6.0)		(6.2)
Total debt			4,931.1		4,933.9
	Less: Cash and cash equivalents		207.3		186.2
	Less: Due from iHeartCommunications		886.3		947.8
		$	3,837.5	$	3,799.9

We may from time to time repay our outstanding debt or seek to purchase our outstanding equity securities. Such transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Promissory Notes with iHeartCommunications

We maintain accounts that represent net amounts due to or from iHeartCommunications, which are recorded as “Due from/to iHeartCommunications” on our consolidated balance sheets. The accounts represent our revolving promissory note issued by us to iHeartCommunications and the Due from iHeartCommunications Note, in each case in the face amount of $1.0 billion, or if more or less than such amount, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances. The accounts accrue interest pursuant to the terms of the promissory notes and are generally payable on demand or when they mature on December 15, 2017. Included in the accounts are the net activities resulting from day-to-day cash management services provided by iHeartCommunications. Such day-to-day cash management services relate only to our cash activities and balances in the U.S. and exclude any cash activities and balances of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the asset recorded in “Due from iHeartCommunications” on our consolidated balance sheet was $886.3 million and $947.8 million, respectively. At March 31, 2015, we had no borrowings under the cash management note to iHeartCommunications.

In accordance with the terms of the settlement for the derivative litigation filed by our stockholders regarding the Due from iHeartCommunications Note, as previously disclosed, we established a committee of our board of directors, consisting of our independent and disinterested directors, for the specific purpose of monitoring the Due from iHeartCommunications Note. If a demand is made in accordance with the terms of the committee charter, we will declare a simultaneous dividend equal to the amount so demanded, which would further reduce the amount of the “Due from iHeartCommunications” asset that is available to us as a source of liquidity for ongoing working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other funding requirements.

The net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $15.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fixed interest rate on the “Due from iHeartCommunications” account was 6.5%, which is equal to the fixed interest rate on the CCWH senior notes. If the outstanding balance on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note exceeds $1.0 billion and under certain other circumstances tied to iHeartCommunications’ liquidity, the rate will be variable but will in no event be less than 6.5% nor greater than 20%.

Our working capital requirements and capital for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and capital expenditures, may be provided to us by iHeartCommunications, in its sole discretion, pursuant to a revolving promissory note issued by us to iHeartCommunications or pursuant to repayment of the Due from iHeartCommunications Note. If we are unable to obtain financing from iHeartCommunications, we may need to obtain additional financing from banks or other lenders, or through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity, strategic relationships or other arrangements at some future date. As stated above, we may be unable to successfully obtain additional debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms or at all.

As long as iHeartCommunications maintains a significant interest in us, pursuant to the Master Agreement between iHeartCommunications and us, iHeartCommunications will have the option to limit our ability to incur debt or issue equity securities, among other limitations, which could adversely affect our ability to meet our liquidity needs. Under the Master Agreement with iHeartCommunications, we are limited in our borrowings from third parties to no more than $400.0 million at any one time outstanding, without the prior written consent of iHeartCommunications.

Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings Senior Notes

As of March 31, 2015, CCWH senior notes represented $2.7 billion aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, which consisted of $735.75 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Series A Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Series A CCWH Senior Notes”) and $1,989.25 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Series B CCWH Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Series B CCWH Senior Notes” and, together with the Series A CCWH Senior Notes, the “CCWH Senior Notes”). The CCWH Senior Notes are guaranteed by us, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (“CCOI”) and certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The Series A CCWH Senior Notes indenture and Series B CCWH Senior Notes indenture restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit us to incur additional indebtedness based on an incurrence test. Under this test, in order to incur additional indebtedness, our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indentures) must be lower than 7.0:1 and 5.0:1 for total debt and senior debt, respectively, and in order to incur additional indebtedness that is subordinated to the CCWH Senior Notes, our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indentures) must be lower than 7.0:1. The indentures contain certain other exceptions that allow us to incur additional indebtedness. The Series B CCWH Senior Notes indenture also permits us to pay dividends from the proceeds of indebtedness or the proceeds from asset sales if our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indenture) are lower than 7.0:1 and 5.0:1 for total debt and senior debt, respectively. The Series B CCWH Senior Notes indenture also contains certain other exceptions that allow us to pay dividends, including (i) $525.0 million of dividends made pursuant to general restricted payment baskets and (ii) dividends made using proceeds received upon a demand by us of amounts outstanding under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note. The Series A CCWH Senior Notes indenture does not limit our ability to pay dividends.

Our consolidated leverage ratio, defined as total debt divided by EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures) for the preceding four quarters was 6.4:1 at March 31, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015. As required by the definition of EBITDA in the CCWH Senior Notes indentures, our EBITDA for the preceding four quarters of $767.2 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: (i) costs incurred in connection with severance, 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; (iii) non-cash charges; and (iv) various other items.

The following table reflects a reconciliation of 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, 2015:

		Four Quarters Ended
(In Millions)		March 31, 2015
EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures)		$	767.2
Less adjustments to EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures):
	Costs incurred in connection with severance, the closure and/or consolidation of facilities, retention charges, consulting fees, and other permitted activities		(30.5)
	Extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains or losses or expenses (as referenced in the definition of EBITDA in the CCWH Senior Notes indentures)		(13.8)
	Non-cash charges		(16.6)
	Other items		(7.8)

Less: Current income tax expense			43.5
Plus: Other income, net			33.2
Adjustments to reconcile consolidated net loss to net cash provided by operating activities (including Provision for doubtful accounts, Amortization of deferred financing charges and note discounts, net and Other reconciling items, net)			(15.6)
Change in assets and liabilities, net of assets acquired and liabilities assumed			(129.8)
Net cash provided by operating activities		$	330.1

Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings Senior Subordinated Notes

As of March 31, 2015, CCWH Subordinated Notes represented $2.2 billion of aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, which consist of $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “Series A CCWH Subordinated Notes”) and $1,925.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “Series B CCWH Subordinated Notes”).

The Series A CCWH Subordinated Notes indenture and Series B CCWH Subordinated Notes indenture restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit us to incur additional indebtedness based on an incurrence test. In order to incur additional indebtedness under this test, our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (as defined by the indentures) must be lower than 7.0:1. The indentures contain certain other exceptions that allow us to incur additional indebtedness. The Series B CCWH Subordinated Notes indenture also permits us to pay dividends from the proceeds of indebtedness or the proceeds from asset sales if our debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios (as defined by the indenture) is lower than 7.0:1. The Series B CCWH Subordinated Notes indenture also contains certain other exceptions that allow us to pay dividends, including (i) $525.0 million of dividends made pursuant to general restricted payment baskets and (ii) dividends made using proceeds received upon a demand by us of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Promissory Note issued by iHeartCommunications to us. The Series A CCWH Subordinated Notes indenture does not limit our ability to pay dividends.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility Due 2018

During the third quarter of 2013, we entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million. The revolving credit facility may be used for working capital needs, to issue letters of credit and for other general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2015, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and $61.3 million of letters of credit under the revolving credit facility, which reduce availability under the facility.

Other Debt

Other debt consists primarily of loans with international banks. At March 31, 2015, approximately $12.1 million was outstanding as other debt.

iHeartCommunications’ Debt Covenants

iHeartCommunications’ senior secured credit facility contains a significant financial covenant which requires iHeartCommunications to comply on a quarterly basis with a financial covenant limiting the ratio of its consolidated secured debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to consolidated EBITDA (as defined by iHeartCommunications’ senior secured credit facility) for the preceding four quarters. The maximum ratio under this financial covenant was 8.75:1 for the four quarters ended March 31, 2015. In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 30, 2015, iHeartCommunications stated that it was in compliance with this covenant as of March 31, 2015.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. Please refer to “Legal Proceedings” within Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Seasonality

Typically, both our Americas and International segments experience their lowest financial performance in the first quarter of the calendar year, with International historically experiencing a loss from operations in that period. Our International segment typically experiences its strongest performance in the second and fourth quarters of the calendar year. We expect this trend to continue in the future. Due to this seasonality and certain other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year.

MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in equity security prices and foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have operations in countries throughout the world. Foreign operations are measured in their local currencies. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we have operations. We believe we mitigate a small portion of our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with a natural hedge through borrowings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our foreign operations reported net loss of $2.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2015. We estimate a 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have increased our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 by $0.3 million. A 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have decreased our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 by a corresponding amount.

This analysis does not consider the implications that such currency fluctuations could have on the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment in the U.S. or the foreign countries or on the results of operations of these foreign entities.

Inflation

Inflation is a factor in the economies in which we do business and we continue to seek ways to mitigate its effect. Inflation has affected our performance in terms of higher costs for wages, salaries and equipment. Although the exact impact of inflation is indeterminable, we believe we have offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates of most of our outdoor display faces.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Except for the historical information, this report contains various forward-looking statements which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, without limitation, our future operating and financial performance, our

ability to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness and the availability of capital and the terms thereof. Statements expressing expectations and projections with respect to future matters are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution that these forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to many variables which could impact our future performance. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions, as of the time the statements are made, regarding future events and performance. There can be no assurance, however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass. Actual future events and performance may differ materially from the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements. We do not intend, nor do we undertake any duty, to update any forward-looking statements.

A wide range of factors could materially affect future developments and performance, including but not limited to:

· risks associated with weak or uncertain global economic conditions and their impact on the capital markets;

· other general economic and political conditions in the United States and in other countries in which we currently do business, including those resulting from recessions, political events and acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts;

· industry conditions, including competition;

· the level of expenditures on advertising;

· legislative or regulatory requirements;

· fluctuations in operating costs;

· technological changes and innovations;

· changes in labor conditions and management;

· capital expenditure requirements;

· risks of doing business in foreign countries;

· fluctuations in exchange rates and currency values;

· the outcome of pending and future litigation;

· taxes and tax disputes;

· changes in interest rates;

· shifts in population and other demographics;

· access to capital markets and borrowed indebtedness;

· our ability to implement our business strategies;

· the risk that we may not be able to integrate the operations of acquired businesses successfully;

· the risk that our cost savings initiatives may not be entirely successful or that any cost savings achieved from strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives may not persist;

· the impact of our substantial indebtedness, including the effect of our leverage on our financial position and earnings;

· our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or other liquidity-generating transactions and our need to allocate significant amounts of our cash to make payments on our indebtedness, which in turn could reduce our financial flexibility and ability to fund other activities;

· our relationship with iHeartCommunications, including its ability to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors and its ability as our controlling stockholder to determine the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders and certain additional matters governed by intercompany agreements between us;

· the impact of the above and similar factors on iHeartCommunications, our primary direct or indirect external source of capital, which could have a significant need for capital in the future; and

· certain other factors set forth in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative and is not intended to be exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Required information is presented under “Market Risk” within Item 2 of this Part I.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are

designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015 at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We currently are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Although we are involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of our litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; and tax disputes.

Los Angeles Litigation

⁽¹⁾	The shares indicated include shares of our Class A common stock tendered by employees to us during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to satisfy the employees’ tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting and release of restricted shares, which are repurchased by us based on their fair market value on the date the relevant transaction occurs.
⁽²⁾	On August 9, 2010, iHeartCommunications announced that its board of directors approved a stock purchase program under which iHeartCommunications or its subsidiaries may purchase up to an aggregate of $100.0 million of the Class A common stock of iHeartMedia and/or our Class A common stock. The stock purchase program did not have a fixed expiration date and could be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at iHeartCommunications’ discretion. In January 2015, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased 2,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock for $20.4 million. During 2014, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased 5,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock for approximately $48.8 million. During 2012, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased 111,291 shares of iHeartMedia’s Class A common stock for $0.7.

As of March 31, 2015, an aggregate $13.8 million was available under the stock purchase program to purchase Class A common stock of iHeartMedia and/or our Class A common stock.
On April 2, 2015, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications purchased an additional 2,172,946 shares of our Class A common stock for $22.2 million, increasing iHeartCommunications’ collective holdings to represent slightly more than 90% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis, assuming the conversion of all of the Company’s Class B common stock into Class A common stock. As a result of this purchase, the stock purchase program concluded. The purchase of shares in excess of the amount available under the stock purchase program was separately approved by the iHeartCommunications’ board of directors.
