(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position and results of
operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Companys consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2009 Combined
Form 10-K. Subsequent events, if any, are evaluated through the date on which the financial
statements are issued.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertisings 1996 Equity Incentive Plan has reserved 13 million
shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying
granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive
program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms
ranging from three to five years and include 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning
on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2)
options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair
market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market on the date of grant.
We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based
awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective
assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an
aggregate of 13,500 shares of its Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Stock Purchase Plan. Lamars 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan has reserved 924,000 shares of Class
A common stock for issuance to employees. The 2000 ESPP was terminated following the issuance of
all shares that were subject to the offer that commenced under the 2000 ESPP on January 1, 2009 and
ended June 30, 2009. In 2009 we adopted a new employee stock purchase plan, which reserved 500,000
additional shares of common stock for issuance to employees. Our 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(2009 ESPP) was adopted by our Board of Directors in February 2009 and approved by our shareholders
on May 28, 2009. The terms of the 2009 ESPP are substantially the same as the 2000 ESPP. The
following is a summary of ESPP share activity for the six months ended June 30, 2010:
Shares | ||||
Available for future purchases, January 1, 2010 |
480,858 | |||
Purchases |
72,762 | |||
Available for future purchases, June 30, 2010 |
408,096 | |||
Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to
key officers, employees and directors under our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares to
be issued, if any, will be dependent on the level of achievement of performance measures for key
officers and employees, as determined by the Companys Compensation Committee based on our 2010
results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the
first quarter of 2011. The shares subject to these awards can range from a minimum of 0% to a
maximum of 100% of the target number of shares depending on the level at which the goals are
attained. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has recorded $3,300 as non-cash
compensation expense related to performance based awards. In addition, each non-employee director
automatically receives upon election or re-election a restricted stock award of our Class A common
stock. The awards vest 50% on grant date and 50% on the last day of the directors one year term.
The Company recorded a $201 non-cash compensation expense related to these awards for the six
months ended June 30, 2010.

of the indentures relating to Lamar Medias outstanding notes and by the terms of its senior credit
facility. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Lamar Media was permitted under the terms of
its outstanding subordinated notes to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in the form of cash
dividends, loans or advances in amounts up to $1,251,354 and $1,156,267, respectively. Under its
senior credit facility, however, if the total holdings debt ratio (as defined in the senior credit
facility) is greater than 5.75 to 1 or its senior debt ratio (as defined in the senior credit
facility) is greater than 3.25 to 1.0, or if under the indenture for the 9 3/4% senior notes Lamar
Medias senior leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture for the 9 3/4% senior notes) is greater
than or equal to 3.0 to 1, transfers to Lamar Advertising are subject to additional restrictions.
As of June 30, 2010, the total holdings debt ratio was greater than 5.75 to 1 and, therefore,
transfers to Lamar Advertising were restricted to the following: (a) payments to allow Lamar
Advertising to pay dividends on its outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock and (b) payments in
respect of Qualified Holdings Obligations (as defined in the senior credit facility), consisting
of certain fees, costs and expenses incurred from time to time by Lamar Advertising on behalf of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries.

As
of June 30, 2010, Lamar Medias senior leverage ratio was greater than 3.0 to 1 and, therefore,
transfers to Lamar Advertising were restricted to a series of baskets specified in the indenture
governing the 9 3/4% senior notes, including payments of Lamar Medias operating expenses in an
aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed 5% of the total operating expenses of Lamar Media
and its restricted subsidiaries and other restricted payments not in excess $500 in any fiscal year
of Lamar Media.
7. Earnings Per Share
The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options and
convertible debt, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of options and
convertible debt. The number of dilutive shares excluded from this calculation resulting from the
dilutive effect of options is 512,466 and 60,020 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
and 511,335 and 153,902 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Diluted earnings per
share should also reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the Companys convertible debt
was converted to common stock. The number of potentially dilutive shares related to the Companys
convertible debt excluded from the calculation because of their antidilutive effect is 49,125 and
3,428,386 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and 57,646 and 4,647,367
for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
8. Long-term Debt
On April 22, 2010 the Company completed an institutional private placement of $400,000 aggregate
principal amount of 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the 7 7/8% Notes) of Lamar Media.
The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately
$392,000.
Lamar Media may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any time and
from time to time, at a price equal to 107.875% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including additional interest, if any), with the net cash
proceeds of certain public equity offerings completed before April 15, 2013, provided that
following the redemption at least 65% of the Notes that were originally issued remain outstanding.
At any time prior to April 15, 2014, Lamar Media may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. On or after April 15, 2014, Lamar
Media may redeem the Notes, in whole or part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the
Indenture.
The Company used the proceeds of this offering, after the payment of fees and expenses, to
repurchase all of its outstanding 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the 7 1/4% Notes),
as described below.
On April 8, 2010, Lamar Media commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its
outstanding 7 1/4% Notes. In conjunction with the tender offer, Lamar Media also solicited consents
from the holders of the 7 1/4% Notes to amend the 7 1/4% Notes to eliminate certain covenants and
amend certain provisions of the indenture governing the 7 1/4% Notes. On April 22, 2010 Lamar Media
accepted tenders for $365,390 in aggregate principal amount of the 7 1/4% Notes in connection with
the early settlement date of the tender offer. The holders of accepted notes received a total
consideration of $1,012.08 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered (per note data not in
thousands). The total cash payment to purchase the tendered 7 1/4% Notes, including accrued and
unpaid interest up to but excluding April 22, 2010 was $377,972. Tendering holders also delivered
the requisite consents authorizing Lamar Media to remove certain covenants in the 7 1/4% Notes.
These consents authorized entry into a Supplemental Indenture, which reflects the amendments to the
7 1/4% Notes discussed above. On May 6, 2010, Lamar Media accepted tenders for an additional $169
in aggregate principal amount of 7 1/4% Notes in connection with the final settlement of the tender
offer. On June 7, 2010, Lamar Media redeemed the remaining $19,441 in outstanding notes.
The Company recognized a loss of $17,398 on the early extinguishment of debt resulting from its
refinancing transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
On April 28, 2010, Lamar Media Corp. refinanced its existing senior credit facility with a new
senior credit facility. The new senior credit facility, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves
as administrative agent, consists of a $250,000 revolving credit facility, a $270,000 term loan A-1
facility, a $30,000 term loan A-2 facility, a $575,000 term loan B facility and a $300,000
incremental facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $200,000, based upon our
satisfaction of a senior debt ratio test (as described below, of less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.
Lamar Media is the borrower under our new senior credit facility, except with respect to the
$30,000 term loan A-2 facility for which Lamar Medias wholly-owned subsidiary, Lamar Advertising
of Puerto Rico, Inc. is the borrower. We may also from time to time designate additional
wholly-owned subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers under the incremental loan facility that can
borrow up to $110,000 of the incremental facility. Incremental loans may be in the form of
additional term loan tranches or increases in the revolving credit facility. Our lenders have no
obligation to make additional loans to us, or any designated subsidiary borrower, under the
incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.

The
definition of EBITDA under the new senior credit
agreement is as follows: EBITDA means, for any period,

(determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance
with GAAP) for such period (calculated before taxes, interest
expense, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash income or
charges accrued for such period, one-time cash restructuring and cash
severance changes in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 of up
to $2,500 aggregate amount, charges and expenses in connection
with the credit facility transactions and the repurchase or
redemption of our 7 1/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013, and
(except to the extent received or paid in cash by us or any of our
restricted subsidiaries) income or loss attributable to equity in
affiliates for such period) excluding any extraordinary and unusual
gains or losses during such period and excluding the proceeds of any
casualty events whereby insurance or other proceeds are received and
certain dispositions not in the ordinary course. For purposes of
calculating EBITDA, the effect on such calculation of any adjustments required under Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 141R is excluded.

9. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At June 30, 2010, the Companys financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents,
marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair
values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term
borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the
short-term nature of these instruments. Investments are reported at fair values. Fair values for
investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value.
The following table provides fair value measurement information for liabilities reported in the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2010:
As of June 30, 2010 | ||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly SFAS No. 157), established a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the
table above, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist
of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the
highest priority. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level
1, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and include significant inputs that are generally
less observable from objective sources. When available, we measure fair value using
Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. We
currently do not use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs to measure fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the assets and
liabilities in the table above.
Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Long-term debt The Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes are actively traded in an
established market. The fair values of these debt instruments are based on quotes obtained through
financial information services and/or major financial institutions.
10. Adjustments to Previously Reported Amounts
During the third quarter of 2009, the Company identified an error in accounting for lease
escalations, resulting in an immaterial understatement of accrued expenses and direct advertising
expense which effected periods beginning fiscal 2005 through June 30, 2009. In accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of
Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,
management evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives,
and concluded the error was immaterial to the current and prior periods. The correction of the
immaterial error resulted in overstatement of net income of $18 and $423 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
The Company revised its historical financial statements as published in our 2009 Combined Form 10-K
for fiscal 2007 and 2008, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 contained herein.

Lamar Advertising Company
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of
the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes
included in this Form 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
The Companys net revenues are derived primarily from the sale of advertising on outdoor
advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. The Company relies on sales of advertising
space for its revenues, and its operating results are therefore affected by general economic
conditions, as well as trends in the advertising industry. Advertising spending is particularly
sensitive to changes in general economic conditions which affect the rates the Company is able to
charge for advertising on its displays and its ability to maximize occupancy on its displays.
Since December 31, 2005, the Company has completed strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising
assets and site easements for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $637.0 million. The
Company has historically financed its acquisitions and intends to finance its future acquisition
activity, if any, from available cash, borrowings under its senior credit facility and the issuance
of Class A common stock. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below. As a result of acquisitions,
the operating performances of individual markets and of the Company as a whole are not necessarily
comparable on a year-to-year basis. Due to the ongoing economic recession, the Company reduced its
acquisition activity during 2009 and expects to continue to limit its acquisition activity during
2010.
Growth of the Companys business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs
associated with the construction of new billboard displays, the replacement of damaged billboard
displays, the entrance into and renewal of logo sign and transit contracts, and the purchase of
real estate and operating equipment. The following table presents a breakdown of capitalized
expenditures for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months ended June 30, 2010 compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2009
Net revenues increased $8.5 million or 1.6% to $530.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010 from $522.0 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was attributable primarily to
an increase in billboard net revenues of $3.9 million or 0.8% over the prior period, an increase in
logo sign revenue of $2.8 million, which represents an increase of 12.9% over the prior period, and
a $1.8 million increase in transit revenue, which represents an increase of 7.4% over the prior
period.

Table of Contents
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, there was an $8.5 million increase in net revenues as
compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The $8.5
million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $3.9 million increase in billboard revenue, a
$2.3 million increase in logo revenue and a $2.4 million increase in transit revenue over the
acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable period in 2009. This increase in revenue
represents an increase of 1.6% over the comparable period in 2009. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets,
decreased 0.2 million to $316.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $316.7 million
for the same period in 2009. There was a $1.3 million decrease in operating expenses related to the
operations of our outdoor advertising assets and a $1.1 million increase in corporate expenses.
The increase in corporate expenses is primarily a result of increases in non-cash compensation
expense related to performance based stock awards as compared to the same period in 2009.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to a reduction in the number
of non performing structures dismantled as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Due to the above factors, operating income increased $22.2 million to $60.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $37.9 million for the same period in 2009.
Interest expense increased approximately $3.0 million from $93.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 to $96.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily resulting from the
refinancing efforts during 2009 including the issuance of Lamar Medias 9 3/4% Notes in March 2009,
offset by a reduction in the amortized debt issuance fees due to the early extinguishment of debt.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized a $17.4 million loss on the early
extinguishment of debt resulting from its refinancing transactions. Approximately $12.6 million is
a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees related to the
tender offer to repurchase Lamar Medias 7 1/4% Notes and refinancing of its senior credit
facility. The remaining $4.8 million represents the net cash loss related to the tender offer and
extinguishment of the 7 1/4% Notes.
The increase in operating income offset by the increase in interest expense and the increase in the
loss on extinguishment of debt, resulted in a $1.8 million increase in loss before income taxes.
Income tax benefit remained relatively constant. The effective tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 was 36.4%, which is lower than the statutory rate due to permanent differences
resulting from non-deductible compensation expense related to stock options in accordance with ASC
718 and other non-deductible expenses and amortization.
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the six months ended June
30, 2010 of $33.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $33.6 million for the same period in 2009.
Three Months ended June 30, 2010 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2009
Net revenues increased $11.6 million or 4.2% to $286.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010 from $274.7 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was attributable primarily to
an increase in billboard net revenues of $7.8 million or 3.1% over the prior period, an increase in
logo revenue of $1.5 million or 13.5% increase and a $2.3 million increase in transit revenue over
the prior period, which represents an increase of 18.9% over the prior period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, there was a $10.3 million increase in net revenues as
compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The $10.3
million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $7.7 million increase in billboard revenue, a
$1.3 million increase in logo revenue and a $1.3 million increase in transit revenue over the
acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable periods in 2009. This increase in revenue
represents an increase of 3.7% over the comparable period in 2009. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets,
increased $1.9 million or 1.2% to $160.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from
$158.5 million for the same period in 2009. While operating expenses related to the operations of
our outdoor advertising assets remained relatively constant, there was a $1.5 million increase in
corporate expenses. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily a result of increases in
non-cash compensation expense related to performance based stock awards as compared to the same
period in 2009.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to the reduction in
dismantles related to non performing structures as compared to the same period ended in 2009.
17
Table of Contents
Due to the
above factors, operating income increased $15.3 million to $49.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $34.0 million for the same period in 2009.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized a $17.1 million loss on the
early extinguishment of debt resulting from its refinancing transactions. Approximately $12.3
million is a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees
related to the tender offer to repurchase Lamar Medias 7 1/4% Notes and refinancing of its senior
credit facility. The remaining $4.8 million represents the net loss related to the tender offer
and extinguishment of the 7 1/4% Notes.
Interest expense decreased $10.0 million from $56.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2009, to $46.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a reduction in
amortization of debt issuance fees as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2009.
The increase in operating income and decrease in interest expense, offset by the increase in loss
on debt extinguishment described above, resulted in a $4.6 million decrease in loss before income
taxes. This decrease in loss resulted in a decrease in income tax benefit of $1.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 over the same period in 2009. The effective tax rate for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 was 38.0%.
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the three months ended June
30, 2010 of $8.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $11.8 million for the same period in 2009.
Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2008 (the acquired assets) have contributed to
our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2009 acquisition-adjusted net
revenue, which adjusts our 2009 net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 by
adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets prior to our acquisition of these
assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three and six months ended June
30, 2010. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to
compare periods in 2010 and 2009 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions.
Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing within our existing assets.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with GAAP. For this adjustment, we
measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the assets during the period in 2009
that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in 2010 (to the extent within the
period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as acquisition net revenue.
Reconciliations of 2009 reported net revenue to 2009 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for each of
the three and six month periods ended June 30, as well as a comparison of 2009 acquisition-adjusted
net revenue to 2010 reported net revenue for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30,

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, as a result of the economic recession, the Company took
certain steps to reduce its overall operating expenses. These steps included reducing operating
expenses and non-essential capital expenditures and significantly reducing its acquisition
activity. The Company expects to continue its current cost saving strategies through the year
ended December 31, 2010.
The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations
and borrowings under its senior credit facility. The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media
Corp., is the borrower under the senior credit facility and maintains all corporate cash balances.
Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media.
Sources of Cash
Total Liquidity at June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010 we had approximately $190.0 million of total
liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $26.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and the
ability to draw approximately $163.1 million under our revolving bank credit facility.
Cash Generated by Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 our cash provided by
operating activities was $93.2 million and $116.4 million, respectively. While our net loss was
approximately $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, we generated cash from
operating activities of $93.2 million during that same period, primarily due to non-cash
adjustments needed to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $170.5
million, which primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $156.5 million partially
offset by the recognition of deferred tax benefits of $20.4 million. In addition, there was an
increase in working capital of $43.6 million. We expect to generate cash flows from operations
during 2010 in excess of our cash needs for operations and capital expenditures as described
herein. We expect to use this excess cash generated principally for reducing outstanding
indebtedness. See Cash Flows for more information.
Note Offerings and Tender Offer. On April 22, 2010, Lamar Media completed an institutional private
placement of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018
(the 7 7/8% Notes). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of
approximately $392 million.
The Company used the proceeds of this offering, after the payment of fees and expenses, to
repurchase all of its outstanding 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the 7 1/4% Notes) as
described below.
On April 8, 2010, Lamar Media commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its
outstanding 7 1/4% Notes. In conjunction with the tender offer, Lamar Media also solicited consents
from the holders of the 7 1/4% Notes to amend the 7 1/4% Notes to eliminate certain covenants and
amend certain provisions of the indenture governing the 7 1/4% Notes. On April 22, 2010 Lamar Media
accepted tenders for approximately $365.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7 1/4% Notes
in connection with the early settlement date of the tender offer. The holders of accepted notes
received a total consideration of $1,012.08 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered. The
total cash payment to purchase the tendered 7 1/4% Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest up
to but excluding April 22, 2010 was approximately $378 million. Tendering holders also delivered
the requisite consents authorizing Lamar Media to remove certain covenants in the 7 1/4% Notes.
These consents authorized entry into a Supplemental Indenture, which reflects the amendments to the
7 1/4% Notes discussed above. On May 6, 2010, Lamar Media accepted tenders for an additional $169
thousand in aggregate principal amount of 7 1/4% Notes in connection with the final settlement of
the tender offer. On June 7, 2010, Lamar Media redeemed the
remaining $19.4 million in
outstanding 7 1/4% Notes.
Credit Facilities. As of June 30, 2010, Lamar Media had approximately $163.1 million of unused
capacity under the revolving credit facility included in its senior credit facility and the
aggregate balance outstanding under its senior credit facility was $948.6 million.
On April 28, 2010, Lamar Media Corp. refinanced its existing senior credit facility with a new
senior credit facility. The new senior credit facility, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves
as administrative agent, consists of a $250 million revolving credit facility, a $270 million term
loan A-1 facility, a $30 million term loan A-2 facility, a $575 million term loan B facility and a
$300 million incremental facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $200 million,
based upon our satisfaction of a senior debt ratio test (as described below, of less than or equal
to 3.25 to 1. Lamar Media is the borrower under the senior credit facility, except with respect to
the $30 million term loan A-2 facility for which Lamar Medias wholly-owned subsidiary, Lamar
Advertising of Puerto Rico, Inc. is the borrower. We may also from time to time designate
additional wholly-owned subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers under the incremental loan facility
that can borrow up to $110 million of the incremental facility. Incremental loans may be in the
form of additional term loan tranches or increases in the revolving credit facility. Our lenders
have no obligation to make additional loans to us, or any designated subsidiary borrower, under the
incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity
Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting internally generated cash flow are
general economic conditions, specific economic conditions in the markets where the Company conducts
its business and overall spending on advertising by advertisers.
Credit Facilities and Other Debt Securities. Lamar must comply with certain covenants and
restrictions related to its new senior credit facility and its outstanding debt securities.
Restrictions Under Debt Securities. Lamar must comply with certain covenants and restrictions
related to its outstanding debt securities. Currently Lamar Media has outstanding approximately
$400.0 million 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 issued August 2005, $216.0 million 6 5/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 Series B issued in August 2006 and $275.0 million 6 5/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 Series C issued in October 2007 (collectively, the 6 5/8%
Notes), $350 million 9 3/4% Senior Notes due 2014 issued in March 2009 (the 9 3/4% Notes) and
$400 million 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the 7 7/8% Notes). The indentures
relating to Lamar Medias outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur additional indebtedness
but permit the incurrence of indebtedness (including indebtedness under its senior credit
facility), (i) if no default or event of default would result from such incurrence and (ii) if
after giving effect to any such incurrence, the leverage ratio (defined as total consolidated debt
to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA (as defined in the indentures)) would be less than (a) 6.5
to 1, pursuant 9 3/4% Notes indenture, and (b) 7.0 to 1, pursuant to the 6 5/8% Notes and the 7
7/8% Notes indentures.
In addition to debt incurred under the provisions described in the preceding sentence, the
indentures relating to Lamar Medias outstanding notes permit Lamar Media to incur indebtedness
pursuant to the following baskets:
| up to $1.3 billion of indebtedness under its senior credit facility allowable under the 6 5/8% Notes (up to $1.4 billion of indebtedness under its senior credit facility allowable under the 9 3/4% Notes and up to $1.5 billion of indebtedness under its senior credit facility allowable under the 7 7/8% Notes indenture); | ||
| currently outstanding indebtedness or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt; | ||
| inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its subsidiaries or between subsidiaries; | ||
| certain purchase money indebtedness and capitalized lease obligations to acquire or lease property in the ordinary course of business that cannot exceed the greater of $50 million or 5% of Lamar Medias net tangible assets; and | ||
| additional debt not to exceed $50 million ($75 million under the 7 7/8% Notes indenture). |
Restrictions under New Senior Credit Facility. Lamar Media is required to comply with certain
covenants and restrictions under its senior credit facility. If the Company fails to comply with
these tests, the long term debt payments may be accelerated. At June 30, 2010, and currently,
Lamar Media was in compliance with all such tests under its senior credit facility. We must be in
compliance with the following financial ratios:
| a total holdings debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of any date to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended as set forth below: |
Period | Ratio | |||
April 28, 2010 through and including September 29, 2010 |

| a fixed charges coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA, (as defined below), for the most recent four fiscal quarters to the sum of (1) the total payments of principal and interest on debt for such period, plus (2) capital expenditures made during such period, plus (3) income and franchise tax payments made during such period, plus (4) dividends, of greater than 1.05 to 1. |
The definition of EBITDA under the new senior credit agreement is as follows: EBITDA means,
for any period, operating income for the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a
consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated before
taxes, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash income or charges
accrued for such period, one-time cash restructuring and cash severance changes in the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2009 of up to $2,500,000 aggregate amount, charges and expenses in connection
with the credit facility transactions and the repurchase or redemption of our 7 1/4% senior
subordinated notes due 2013, and (except to the extent received or paid in cash by us or any of our
restricted subsidiaries) income or loss attributable to equity in affiliates for such period)
excluding any extraordinary and unusual gains or losses during such period and excluding the
proceeds of any casualty events whereby insurance or other proceeds are received and certain
dispositions not in the ordinary course. For purposes of calculating EBITDA, the effect on such
calculation of any adjustments required under Statement of Accounting Standards No. 141R is
excluded.
Uses of Cash
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions were approximately $15.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We anticipate our 2010 total capital expenditures to be
between $35 million and $40 million.
Acquisitions. Due to the current economic recession, the Company intends to continue its reduced
acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2010. Consequently, during the six months
ended June 30, 2010, the Companys acquisition activity was $1.4 million and was financed with cash
on hand.
Debt
Service and Contractual Obligation. . The Companys contractual obligations and commitments principally
include obligations associated with its outstanding indebtedness and future minimum operating lease
obligations. During the first two quarters of 2010, there were no material changes outside the
ordinary course of business in the specified contractual obligations set forth in the Commitments
and Contractual Obligations table in the 2009 combined Form 10-K, except for changes in
scheduled payments of long-term debt and the related interest resulting from the issuance of the 7
7/8% Notes, the early extinguishment of the 7 1/4% Notes and the refinancing of
Lamar Medias senior credit facility. As a result of these transactions, payments of long-term
debt and interest were reduced by $107.2 million, $528.6 million and $427.0 million for periods
less than 1 year, 1-3 years and 3-5 years, respectively. Periods greater than 5 years increased by
$1,205.8 million. The total impact for all periods related to these transactions was an increase
in debt service of approximately $143.0 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30,
2010, Lamar Media reduced its overall indebtedness under its senior credit facility by
approximately $144.2 million, of which $79.2 million were payments of term loans under its senior
credit facility and $65.0 million were net payments under its revolving credit facility.
Convertible Note Prepayment. In March 2010, the Company accepted for payment $1.0 million in
principle amount of 2 7/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 at a purchase price of 100% of the original
amount of the notes, through a privately negotiated transaction. As of June 30, 2010, the Company
had $2.4 million in aggregate principle amount of 2 7/8% Convertible Notes due 2010 outstanding.
Lamar Media Corp.
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of
Lamar Media for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes
included in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months ended June 30, 2010 compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2009
Net revenues increased $8.5 million or 1.6% to $530.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010 from $522.0 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was attributable primarily to
an increase in billboard net revenues of $3.9 million or 0.8% over the prior period, an increase in
logo sign revenue of $2.8 million, which represents an increase of 12.9% over the prior period, and
a $1.8 million increase in transit revenue, which represents an increase of 7.4% over the prior
period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, there was an $8.5 million increase in net revenues as
compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The $8.5
million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $3.9 million increase in billboard revenue, a
$2.3 million increase in logo revenue and a $2.4 million increase in transit revenue over the
acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable period in 2009. This increase in revenue
represents an increase of 1.6% over the comparable period in 2009. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets,
increased 0.2 million to $316.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $316.3 million
for the same period in 2009. There was a $1.3 million decrease in operating expenses related to the
operations of our outdoor advertising assets and a $1.5 million increase in corporate expenses. The
increase in corporate expenses is primarily a result of increases in non-cash compensation expense
related to performance based stock awards as compared to the same period in 2009.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to a reduction in the number
of non performing structures dismantled as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Due to the above factors, operating income increased $21.8 million to $60.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $38.3 million for the same period in 2009.
Interest expense increased approximately $7.7 million from $88.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 to $95.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily resulting from the
refinancing efforts during 2009 including the issuance of Lamar Medias 9 3/4% Notes in March 2009,
offset by a reduction in the amortized debt issuance fees due to the early extinguishment of debt.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Lamar Media recognized a $17.4 million loss on the early
extinguishment of debt resulting from its refinancing transactions. Approximately $12.6 million is
a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees related to the
tender offer to repurchase its 7 1/4% Notes and refinancing of its senior credit facility. The
remaining $4.8 million represents the net cash loss related to the tender offer and extinguishment
of the 7 1/4% Notes.
The increase in operating income offset by the increase in interest expense and the increase in the
loss on extinguishment of debt, resulted in a $3.4 million increase in loss before income taxes.
Income tax benefit remained relatively constant. The effective tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 was 36.4%, which is lower than the statutory rate due to permanent differences
resulting from non-deductible compensation expense related to stock options in accordance with ASC
718 and other non-deductible expenses and amortization.
As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the six months ended June
30, 2010 of $33.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $32.4 million for the same period in 2009.
Three Months ended June 30, 2010 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2009
Net revenues increased $11.6 million or 4.2% to $286.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010 from $274.7 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was attributable primarily to
an increase in billboard net revenues of $7.8 million or 3.1% over the prior period, an increase in
logo revenue of $1.5 million or 13.5% increase and a $2.3 million increase in transit revenue over
the prior period, which represents an increase of 18.9% over the prior period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, there was a $10.3 million increase in net revenues as
compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The $10.3
million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $7.7 million increase in billboard revenue, a
$1.3 million increase in logo revenue and a $1.3 million increase in transit revenue over the
acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable periods in 2009. This increase in revenue
represents an increase of 3.7% over the comparable period in 2009. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets,
increased $1.9 million or 1.2% to $160.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from
$158.5 million for the same period in 2009. While operating expenses related to the operations of
our outdoor advertising assets remained relatively constant, there was a $1.5 million increase in
corporate expenses. The increase in corporate expenses is primarily a result of increases in non-cash compensation
expense related to performance based stock awards as compared to the same period in 2009.

Table of Contents
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to the reduction in
dismantles related to non performing structures as compared to the same period ended in 2009.
Due to the
above factors, operating income increased $15.3 million to $49.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $34.0 million for the same period in 2009.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, Lamar Media recognized a $17.1 million loss on the
early extinguishment of debt resulting from its refinancing transactions. Approximately $12.3
million is a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees
related to the tender offer to repurchase its 7 1/4% Notes and refinancing its senior credit
facility. The remaining $4.8 million represents the net loss related to the tender offer and
extinguishment of the 7 1/4% Notes.
Interest expense decreased $8.5 million from $55.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2009, to $46.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a reduction in
amortization of debt issuance fees as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2009.
The increase in operating income and decrease in interest expense, offset by the increase in loss
on debt extinguishment described above, resulted in a $6.6 million decrease in loss before income
taxes. This decrease in loss resulted in a decrease in income tax benefit of $2.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 over the same period in 2009. The effective tax rate for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 was 38.7%.
As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the three months ended June
30, 2010 of $8.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $13.0 million for the same period in 2009.
Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2008 (the acquired assets) have contributed to
our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2009 acquisition-adjusted net
revenue, which adjusts our 2009 net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 by
adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets prior to our acquisition of these
assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three and six months ended June
30, 2010. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to
compare periods in 2010 and 2009 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions.
Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing within our existing assets.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with GAAP. For this adjustment, we
measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the assets during the period in 2009
that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in 2010 (to the extent within the
period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as acquisition net revenue.
Reconciliations of 2009 reported net revenue to 2009 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for each of
the three and six month periods ended June 30, as well as a comparison of 2009 acquisition-adjusted
net revenue to 2010 reported net revenue for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30,

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments
issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Lamar Media. The information below summarizes the Companys
interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at June
30, 2010, and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to the Companys Consolidated
Financial Statements in the 2009 Combined Form 10-K.
Loans under Lamar Medias senior credit facility bear interest at variable rates equal to the
JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin, with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.25%
for its Term B facility. Because the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR may increase or decrease
at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in these
base rates may have on the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the senior credit facility.
Increases in the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the senior credit facility would
result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Companys net income.
At June 30, 2010, there was approximately $0.95 billion of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under
the senior credit facility, or approximately 37.2% of the Companys outstanding long-term debt on
that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 with respect to borrowings under the senior credit facility was $26.5 million,
and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during
the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 4.9%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was
200-basis points higher (that is 6.9% rather than 4.9%), then the Companys six months ended June
30, 2010 interest expense would have been approximately $10.4 million higher resulting in a $6.6
million decrease in the Companys six months ended June 30, 2010 net income.
The Company has attempted to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest
rate long-term debt instruments by issuing fixed rate, long-term debt instruments and maintaining a
balance over time between the amount of the Companys variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In
addition, the Company has the capability under the senior credit facility to fix the interest rates
applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin for periods of
up to twelve months, (in certain cases, with the consent of the lenders) which would allow the
Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. From time to
time, the Company has utilized and expects to continue to utilize derivative financial instruments
with respect to a portion of its interest rate risks to achieve a more predictable cash flow by
reducing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These transactions generally are interest rate
and swap agreements, which are entered into with major financial institutions. In the event of an
increase in interest rates, the Company may take further actions to mitigate its exposure. The
Company cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be
feasible or if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Companys and Lamar Medias management, with the participation of the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer of the Company and Lamar Media, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys and Lamar Medias disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
of the Company and Lamar Media concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are
effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Companys and
Lamar Medias reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the requisite time periods.
b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) of the Company and Lamar Media identified in connection with
the evaluation of the Companys and Lamar Medias internal control performed during the last fiscal
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
and Lamar Medias internal control over financial reporting.
