CC Media Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full Year

CC Media Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:CCMO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.

“With our unmatched reach and unparalleled assets, we outperformed the radio market and capitalized on the growing out-of-the-home consumer trend in 2013,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Pittman said. “Clear Channel continued to create new businesses based on the strength of our core assets and to provide customized multi-platform market solutions to advertising partners that nobody else can. At Media+Entertainment, we further expanded our events business – reaching nearly 4 billion social impressions with December’s Jingle Ball national tour, following up on September’s iHeartRadio Music Festival’s 2.3 billion social impressions. We also partnered with The CW Network to air 7 shows on broadcast TV, reaching over 50 million TV viewers. Our results at Outdoor reflected our sharp focus on rolling out new digital products in the U.S. and internationally, and on taking advantage of fast-growing emerging markets in Latin America and Asia. As America’s leading multi-platform media company as measured by reach, we look forward to continuing to serve advertisers and consumers even better in 2014.”

“We succeeded this year in delivering a steady financial performance while investing for future growth across the company, despite challenging economic conditions,” said Rich Bressler, President and Chief Financial Officer. “We hired top-caliber leaders at both Media+Entertainment and Outdoor, while executing on our revenue and efficiency initiatives that are building a strong foundation for our long-term success. Importantly, our capital markets activities over the past months – including extending our maturities and selling non-core assets, like our stake in radio assets in Australia/New Zealand – have given us the financial flexibly to continue to grow our businesses.”

Full Year 2013 Results

Consolidated revenues decreased less than 1% to $6.24 billion for the full year 2013 compared to $6.25 billion in 2012. Excluding political advertising, revenue was up 2%¹. Growth at Media+Entertainment and Americas outdoor was offset by declines at International outdoor, as well as our media representation business for which political revenues decreased $40 million compared to 2012, a presidential election year.

• Media+Entertainment revenues grew $47 million, or 2% (up 4%, excluding political¹), compared to 2012, driven primarily by stronger national and digital advertising, as well as promotional and event sponsorship with the expansion of the Jingle Ball tour, iHeartRadio Music Festival and album release events, partially offset by the decline in political advertising spend.
• Americas outdoor 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 outdoor 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 declined 4% to $1.7 billion in 2013 compared to $1.8 billion in 2012 on a reported basis and excluding the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates and divestiture of businesses. Included in the full year 2013 OIBDAN of $1.7 billion were $58 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, compared to $76 million of such expenses in 2012. The decrease in OIBDAN was impacted by $25 million of litigation expenses in 2013 compared to $12 million in 2012, as well as a $21 million performance rights royalty credit the Company received in 2012 that did not recur in 2013. OIBDAN for 2012 includes $27 million of legal and other costs in Latin America, which did not recur in 2013.

The Company’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined under its senior secured credit facilities, was $1.9 billion in 2013, down less than 1% from 2012.

The Company’s consolidated net loss totaled $584 million for 2013 compared to a consolidated net loss of $411 million in 2012, due primarily to lower operating income, higher interest expense and an impairment charge related to a non-consolidated affiliate resulting in a reduction in equity from nonconsolidated affiliates, partially offset by a gain on the sale of marketable securities and reduced losses on extinguishment of debt in 2013.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

Consolidated revenues totaled $1.7 billion, consistent with the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding political advertising, revenue was up 4%.¹

• Media+Entertainment revenues increased $24 million, or 3% (up 8%, excluding political¹), due primarily to stronger national and digital advertising, as well as promotional and event sponsorship with the expansion of the Jingle Ball tour, iHeartRadio Music Festival and album release events.
• Americas outdoor 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 outdoor 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 was down 3%, or $15 million, to $530 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $546 million for the same period of 2012 on a reported basis. Operating expenses for Media+Entertainment increased as a result of continued investments in our national sales and programming capabilities, as well as higher expenses related to events and our digital platform. Included in the 2013 fourth quarter OIBDAN were $18 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 $10 million compared to the same period of 2012.

The Company’s consolidated net loss was $302 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to a consolidated net loss of $197 million in the same period of 2012. This was due primarily to equity in losses of nonconsolidated affiliates and higher interest expense, and offset in part by greater operating income and reduced losses on the extinguishment of debt.

Includes Corporate for Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. of $28 million and $105 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.

Media±Entertainment

Media+Entertainment revenues rose $47 million, or 2%, in 2013 (up 4%, excluding political) driven primarily by national and digital sales, as well as promotional and event sponsorships in spite of reduced political advertising spend compared to 2012, which was a presidential election year. Increases across multiple advertising categories were led by the telecommunications, retail and entertainment advertising markets. Digital revenues benefited from higher total listening hours, which were up 29%, and from investments in a digital sales organization. Promotional and event sponsorships also moved higher, driven by special events, such as the iHeartRadio Music Festival, Jingle Ball tour, iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party and album release events.

Operating expenses rose $80 million in 2013 compared to the previous year. This increase reflects our continued investments in people and our digital platform, greater expenses associated with higher sales and increased listening hours, as well as promotional costs particularly related to the iHeartRadio Music Festival and Jingle Ball tour. The increase in expenses is also driven by a $21 million credit related to performance royalties in 2012 that did not recur in 2013. Expenses in 2013 also included an $11 million decrease due to investments in strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives.

OIBDAN declined $34 million, or 3%, to $1,180 million in 2013. Included in 2013 OIBDAN are $10 million in expenses related to investments in strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives compared to $22 million in 2012.

Americas Outdoor Advertising

Americas outdoor 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 Outdoor Advertising

International outdoor 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 $24 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 from new contracts in markets with greater revenue.

International outdoor 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.

• 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.

Clear Channel’s secured debt consists of the senior secured credit facilities, the receivables-based credit facility, the priority guarantee notes and certain other secured subsidiary debt. As required by the definition of consolidated EBITDA in Clear Channel’s senior secured credit facilities, Clear Channel’s consolidated EBITDA for the preceding four quarters of $1.9 billion is calculated as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and other operating income, net plus share-based compensation and is further adjusted for the following items: (i) costs incurred in connection with 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 and severance; (iii) non-cash charges; (iv) cash received from nonconsolidated affiliates; and (v) various other items.

The following table reflects a reconciliation of consolidated EBITDA (as defined by Clear Channel’s senior secured credit facilities) 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; Other income (expense), net; Equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; Gain (loss) on marketable securities; Interest expense; 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 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 foreign exchange rate 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 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) Revenues excluding effects of political revenue to CCME revenues; (vi) Corporate expenses excluding non-cash compensation expenses to Corporate expenses; and (vii) OIBDAN to net loss.
