Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full Year

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.

“As the economic recovery in the U.S. and around the world gains momentum, CEO William Eccleshare and his team have put Clear Channel Outdoor in the best possible position to partner effectively with local, national and global advertisers,” said Bob Pittman, Executive Chairman of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. “Just as critical to our success is our leadership in innovative digital technologies that are transforming the industry’s engagement with increasingly mobile consumers. We have never been better prepared to help advertisers meet their marketing needs and make the most of the growing out-of-home trend worldwide.”

“With our global scale and efficiencies, we identified and developed best-in-class new technologies and groundbreaking initiatives in 2013 and continued to build strong relationships with advertisers globally,” said Chief Executive Officer William Eccleshare. “Our digital and interactive outdoor assets offer a depth of consumer engagement never before available, and we are helping our advertisers realize the increasing value of reaching the mobile consumer. Our focus this year is on future growth and profitability, especially in our digital displays, emerging markets and our national advertising business in the U.S. We continue to drive strong growth in many U.S. markets, as well as China, Singapore, Brazil, Chile and other emerging markets, and we are boosting our share of the European advertising markets.”

Full Year 2013 Results

Consolidated revenues were flat at $2.95 billion for the full year 2013 compared to 2012, driven by growth at Americas that was offset by a decline at International. Excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates and divestiture of businesses during the third quarter of 2012,1,3 revenues were up less than 1%.

  • Americas revenues rose $11 million, or 1%, on a reported basis compared to 2012. New contracts drove higher occupancy and rates in traditional bulletins and posters, while higher revenues in digital displays were due to higher occupancy and capacity. Partially offsetting the growth of digital was the absence of revenue from the 77 digital boards in Los Angeles that were turned off due to a court ruling.
  • International revenues increased $3 million, or less than 1%, after adjusting for divestitures during the third quarter of 2012 ($20 million revenue reduction) and a $5 million increase from movements in foreign exchange rates. Revenue growth in emerging markets, including China and Brazil, as well as strong performance in the UK, were offset in part by declines in developed markets, some of which faced challenging economic conditions, such as France. On a reported basis, revenues decreased $12 million, or 1%, compared to 2012.

The Company’s OIBDAN1 grew 4% to $691 million in 2013 compared to $664 million in 2012 on a reported basis. 2013 OIBDAN increased $33 million, excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates and divestiture of businesses. Included in the 2013 OIBDAN of $691 million were $36 million of operating and corporate expenses related to the Company’s strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives to attract additional advertising dollars to the business and improve operating efficiencies, as well as $25 million of litigation expenses. OIBDAN for 2012 reflected $44 million of such expenses, as well as $12 million of litigation expenses and $27 million of legal and other costs in Latin America, which did not recur in 2013.

The Company’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined under the CCWH Senior Notes indenture, was $780 million in 2013, down 1% from 2012.

The Company’s consolidated net loss totaled $24 million for 2013 compared to a consolidated net loss of $159 million in 2012, due primarily to the loss on extinguishment of debt in 2012 that did not recur in 2013, lower interest expense and higher operating income.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

Consolidated revenues totaled $806 million, a $3 million increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.

  • Americas revenues decreased $6 million, or 2%, driven by lower revenues at airports due to lost contracts and the absence of revenue from the 77 digital boards in Los Angeles that were turned off due to a court ruling. Partially offsetting these declines were higher occupancy and rate on traditional bulletins, as well as our growth from rising rates, capacity and occupancy of digital bulletins in our markets.
  • International revenues rose $9 million, or 2%. Revenue growth in emerging markets, including China, was partly offset by declines in developed markets, some of which faced challenging economic conditions, such as France.

The Company’s OIBDAN1 increased 8%, or $18 million, to $223 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $205 million in the same period of 2012. Included in the 2013 fourth quarter OIBDAN were $13 million of operating and corporate expenses associated with the Company’s strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives to attract additional advertising dollars to its businesses and improve operating efficiencies, a decrease of $5 million compared to the same period in 2012.

The Company’s consolidated net income totaled $19 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to a consolidated net loss of $139 million in the same period of 2012. This was due primarily to the loss on extinguishment of debt in 2012 that did not recur in 2013, higher operating income and lower interest expense.

2 The Company’s operating expenses include direct operating and SG&A expenses.

3 During 2012, the Company disposed of international businesses. For the year ended December 31, 2012, these businesses contributed $20 million in revenues, $17 million in operating expenses, and $3 million in OIBDAN.

Americas

Americas revenues grew $11 million, or 1%, in 2013. New contracts drove higher occupancy and rates in traditional bulletins and posters, while higher revenues in digital displays were due to higher occupancy and capacity. Partially offsetting the growth of digital was the absence of revenue from the 77 digital boards in Los Angeles that were turned off due to a court ruling. Revenues also declined in our specialty business and airports business due to lost contracts.

Operating expenses declined $6 million, or 1%, to $787 million for 2013. Operating expenses in 2013 reflected a decrease in variable expenses, such as site lease expenses related to a decline in revenues in certain product lines that have lower margins. Expenses in 2013 also included a $9 million decline related to investments in strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives.

OIBDAN increased $17 million, or 4%, to $503 million in 2013 compared to the previous year. OIBDAN in 2013 included approximately $6 million of expenses related to certain investments in strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives compared to $15 million in 2012.

International

International revenues rose $3 million, or less than 1%, in 2013, after adjusting for divestures during the third quarter of 2012 ($20 million revenue reduction) and a $5 million increase from movements in foreign exchange rates. Revenue growth in emerging markets, China for example, was partially offset by revenue declines in developed markets, some of which faced challenging economic conditions, such as France.

On a reported basis, revenues decreased $12 million, or 1%, compared to 2012.

Operating expenses decreased $23 million in 2013, adjusting for $17 million of expenses resulting from the divestiture of businesses during the third quarter of 2012 and a $7 million increase from movements in foreign exchange rates. Operating expenses declined due to a $27 million decrease in legal and other expenses in Latin America that did not recur in 2013 and cost savings from strategic investments made in previous periods, partly offset by higher costs in certain emerging markets and new contracts in markets with greater revenue.

International OIBDAN in 2013 grew $26 million, or 9%, to $306 million, adjusting for the divestiture of businesses during the third quarter of 2012 of $3 million and adjusting for a $2 million increase from movements in foreign exchange rates. On a reported basis, OIBDAN was up $22 million, or 8%, to $305 million.

Liquidity and Financial Position

For the year ended December 31, 2013, cash flow provided by operating activities was $415 million, cash flow used for investing activities totaled $178 million, cash flow used for financing activities was $484 million, and there was no impact from movements in foreign exchange rates on cash. The net decrease in cash was $247 million.

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2013, were approximately $206 million compared to $276 million for the same period in 2012. In 2014, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $200 million.

On October 21, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, dated July 8, 2013, among the Company, a special litigation committee consisting of certain independent directors of the Company, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“CCU”), the Company’s indirect parent company, and the other parties thereto, the Company announced that (i) it notified CCU of its intent to make a demand (the “Demand”) for repayment on November 8, 2013 of $200,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Promissory Note, dated as of November 10, 2005, between CCU, as maker, and the Company, as payee (as amended by the first amendment dated as of December 23, 2009, the “Due from CCU Note”), and (ii) its board of directors declared a special cash dividend payable in cash on November 8, 2013 to Class A and Class B stockholders of record at the closing of business on November 5, 2013, in an aggregate amount equal to $200,000,000 (or approximately $0.56 per share), conditioned only on CCU satisfying the Demand. As the indirect parent of the Company, CCU received approximately 88% of the proceeds from the dividend through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The remaining approximately 12% of the proceeds from the dividend, or approximately $24 million, were paid to the public stockholders of the Company. Following satisfaction of the Demand, the balance outstanding under the Due from CCU Note was reduced by $200,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of the Due from CCU Note was $879,108,124.

During 2013, the Company entered into a $75 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility for working capital to issue letters of credit and for other general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Consolidated leverage ratio, defined as total debt divided by EBITDA (as defined by the Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings (“CCWH”) Senior Notes indentures) for the preceding four quarters was 6.3:1 at December 31, 2013, 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 3.5:1 at December 31, 2013. As required by the definition of EBITDA in the CCWH Senior Notes indentures, our EBITDA for the preceding four quarters of $780 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 items: (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 year ended December 31, 2013:

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following tables set forth the Company’s OIBDAN for the three months and years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. 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; Loss on marketable securities; Interest expense; Interest income on Due from Clear Channel Communications; Loss on extinguishment of debt; Other operating income, 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 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 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 which 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 2013 actual foreign revenues, expenses and OIBDAN at average 2012 foreign exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of movements in foreign exchange rates.

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