CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Preparation of Interim Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 25, 2021.
Certain prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation.
Recent Developments
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. While the duration and severity of the effects of the pandemic remain uncertain, the Company has taken and continues to take actions to strengthen its financial position and support the continuity of its platform and operations, as follows:
•The Company continues to complete contract negotiations with landlords and municipalities to better align fixed site lease expenses with reductions in revenue. Where applicable, the Company has applied the April 2020 supplemental Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff guidance regarding accounting for rent concessions resulting from COVID-19. The Company recognized reductions of rent expense on lease and non-lease contracts due to negotiated rent abatements of $21.6 million and $78.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $23.8 million and $53.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Negotiated deferrals of rent payments did not result in a reduction of rent expense.
•The Company received European governmental support and wage subsidies in response to COVID-19 of $6.3 million and $13.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $7.2 million and $14.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. These subsidies have been recorded as reductions in compensation and rent costs.
•The Company continues to execute upon its restructuring plan to reduce headcount in Europe, which it committed to during the third quarter of 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred restructuring and other costs pursuant to this plan of $16.3 million and $33.5 million, respectively, in its Europe segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred restructuring and other costs pursuant to this plan of $1.1 million related to Corporate operations. Refer to Note 9 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
•In June 2021, one of the Company’s subsidiaries within its Europe segment borrowed approximately $34.7 million, at current exchange rates, through a state-guaranteed loan program established in response to COVID-19. Refer to Note 4 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Disposition
On April 28, 2020, the Company tendered its 50.91 % stake in Clear Media Limited (“Clear Media”), a former indirect, non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company based in China, pursuant to a voluntary conditional cash offer made by and on behalf of Ever Harmonic Global Limited (“Ever Harmonic”), and on May 14, 2020, the Company received $253.1 million in cash proceeds from the sale of its shares in Clear Media. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of Clear Media of $75.2 million, which is recorded within “Other operating income, net” on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets; operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; defined-benefit plan obligations; the allowance for credit losses; assessment of lease and non-lease contract expenses; and measurement of compensation cost for bonus and other compensation plans. The Company’s assessment of conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicates that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date of these financial statements. There continues to be uncertainty in estimating the expected economic and operational impacts relative to COVID-19 as the situation continues to evolve. The estimates and assumptions used in these financial statements may change in future periods as the expected impacts from COVID-19 are revised, resulting in further potential impacts to the Company’s financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
The Company adopted the guidance under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as of January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis. This update, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain existing exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Reference Rate Reform
For the last several years, there has been an ongoing effort amongst regulators, standard setters, financial institutions and other market participants to replace interbank offered rates, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with alternative reference rates. In the United States (“U.S.”), the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has formally recommended forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) term rates as the replacement for USD LIBOR, while various other risk-free rates have been selected to replace LIBOR for other currencies. In March 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, LIBOR’s administrator, announced that it will cease publication of certain LIBOR rates after December 31, 2021, while the remaining USD LIBOR rates will be published through June 30, 2023.
The Company is currently working with the administrative agent of its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Receivables-Based Credit Facility to finalize replacement rates; however, the Company does not expect the replacement of LIBOR to result in a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, in order to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform initiatives. The update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP contract modification accounting to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met and may be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is assessing whether it will use these optional expedients and exceptions but does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company will continue to monitor and assess regulatory developments during the transition period.
NOTE 2 – SEGMENT DATA
10
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to, and assessing performance of, each reportable segment. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring and other costs, which are defined as costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs and other special costs. Segment information for total assets is not presented as this information is not used by the Company’s CODM in measuring segment performance or allocating resources between segments.
The following table presents the Company’s reportable segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

NOTE 3 – REVENUE
The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising space on printed and digital out-of-home advertising displays. Certain of these revenue transactions are considered leases for accounting purposes as the contracts convey to customers the right to control the use of the Company’s advertising displays for a period of time. The Company accounts for revenue from leases in accordance with the lease accounting guidance under ASC Topic 842; all remaining revenue transactions are accounted for as revenue from contracts with customers under ASC Topic 606.
