AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except 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 Company’s 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2011 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’s 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 9,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan 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 three months ended March 31, 2012:

 

     Shares  

Available for future purchases, January 1, 2012

     253,294   

Purchases

     43,091   
  

 

 

 

Available for future purchases, March 31, 2012

     210,203   
  

 

 

 

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 Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2012 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2013. 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 three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company has recorded $619 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 each of the director’s one-year term. The Company recorded $29 non-cash compensation expense related to these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

6. Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries

Separate financial statements of each of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that have guaranteed Lamar Media’s obligations with respect to its publicly issued notes (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are not included herein because the Company has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and the only subsidiaries that are not guarantors are in the aggregate minor.

Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under both the terms of the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes and by the terms of the senior credit facility. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Lamar Media was permitted under the terms of its outstanding senior subordinated notes to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances in amounts up to $1,690,691 and $1,641,856, respectively. Transfers to Lamar Advertising are subject to additional restrictions if, (i) under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and as defined therein, (x) the total holdings debt ratio is greater than 5.75 to 1 or (y) the senior debt ratio is greater than 3.25 to 1.0, and (ii) if under the indenture for Lamar Media’s 9 3/4% senior notes and as defined therein, its senior leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1. As of March 31, 2012, the total holdings debt ratio was less than 5.75 to 1 and Lamar Media’s senior debt ratio was less than 3.25 to 1 and its senior leverage ratio was less than 3.0 to 1; therefore, transfers to Lamar Advertising were not subject to any additional restrictions under the senior credit facility or pursuant to the indenture governing the 9 3/4% senior notes.

2010 Senior Credit Facility

On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media entered into a restatement agreement with respect to its existing senior credit facility in order to fund a new $100,000 Term loan A facility and to make certain covenant changes to the senior credit facility, which was entered into on April 28, 2010, as amended on June 11, 2010, November 18, 2010 and February 9, 2012 (the “senior credit facility”), for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent. The senior credit facility 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 $100,000 term loan A-3 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 the senior credit facility, except with respect to the $30,000 term loan A-2 facility for which Lamar Media’s 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 remaining quarterly amortizations of the Term facilities as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

 

     Term A-1      Term A-2      Term A-3      Term B  

September 30, 2012 — December 31, 2012

In addition to the amortizations of our Term facilities, Lamar Media may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding under the senior credit facility that would be applied first to any outstanding term loans. These payments, if any, will be calculated based on a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) at the end of each fiscal year. For fiscal years ending or after December 31, 2012, this percentage is subject to reduction to 0% if the total holdings debt ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal year.

As of March 31, 2012, there was no amounts outstanding under the revolving senior facility. The revolving facility terminates April 28, 2015. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $8,364 letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2012 resulting in $241,636 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to maturity. The loans bear interest, at Lamar Media’s option, at the LIBOR Rate or JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate plus applicable margins, such margins being set from time to time based on Lamar Media’s ratio of debt to trailing twelve month EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit facility.

The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to:

 

   

dispose of assets;

 

   

incur or repay debt;

 

   

create liens;

 

   

make investments; and

 

   

pay dividends.

Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility the Company must maintain specified financial ratios and levels including:

 

   

a fixed charges ratio;

 

   

a senior debt ratio; and

 

   

a total holdings debt ratio.

Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the applicable senior credit agreement provisions during the periods presented.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s 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. Investment contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long term debt (including current maturities) was $2,299,567 which exceeded both the gross and carrying amounts of $2,208,050 and $2,187,595, respectively, as of March 31, 2012.

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

This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties described in the section of this combined report on Form 10-Q entitled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in Item 1A to the 2011 Combined Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2012, as supplemented by those risk factors contained in our combined Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider each of these risks and uncertainties in evaluating the Company’s and Lamar Media’s financial conditions and results of operations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These statements speak only as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the statements, except as may be required by law.

Lamar Advertising Company

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s 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. Revenue growth is based on many factors that include the Company’s ability to increase occupancy of its existing advertising displays; raise advertising rates; and acquire new advertising displays 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 that the Company is able to charge for advertising on its displays and its ability to maximize advertising sales or occupancy on its displays.

Historically, the Company has increased the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates by completing strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets. Since December 31, 2006, the Company completed acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $446.2 million. However, during 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company reduced its acquisition activity significantly by completing acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $36.6 million, which was a reduction of approximately $594.6 million over the comparable three-year period 2006, 2007 and 2008. The Company has financed its historical acquisitions and intends to finance any of its future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under the senior credit facility and the issuance of Class A common stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company completed acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $6.1 million in cash.

The Company’s business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs associated with the construction of new 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 ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended March 31, 2012 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2011

Net revenues increased $11.0 million or 4.3% to $266.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $255.2 million for the same period in 2011. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $9.1 million, which represents an increase of 4.0% over the prior period, an increase in logo sign revenue of $1.1 million, which represents an increase of 8.1% over the prior period, and a $0.8 million increase in transit revenue, which represents an increase of 6.9% over the prior period.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was a $10.6 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represents an increase of 4.1%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $10.6 million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $8.6 million increase in billboard revenue, a $1.1 million net increase in transit revenue and a $0.9 million increase in logo revenue over the acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable period in 2011.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $6.8 million or 4.2% to $169.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $162.2 million for the same period in 2011. There was a $5.9 million increase in operating expenses related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets and a $0.9 million increase in corporate expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gain on sale of assets decreased $5.5 million as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the $5.7 million gain recognized in February 2011 related to the sale of our then existing corporate aircraft.

Due to the above factors, operating income remained relatively constant at $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $25.6 million for the same period in 2011.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized a $30.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the settlement of the tender offer for Lamar Media’s 6 5/8% Notes. Approximately $14.4 million of the loss is a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discounts associated with the tendered notes. See – “Uses of Cash – Tender Offers” for more information.

Interest expense decreased $3.7 million from $43.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, to $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to the reduction in total debt outstanding in addition to a decrease in interest rates primarily resulting from the Company’s recent refinancing transactions. See – “Uses of Cash – Tender Offers” for more information.

The increase in operating income and the decrease in interest expense, offset by the loss in debt extinguishment, resulted in a $26.1 million increase in net loss before income taxes. This increase in loss resulted in an increase in income tax benefit of $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period in 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 48.2%, which is greater than the statutory rates 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 three months ended March 31, 2012 of $22.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $13.2 million for the same period in 2011.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2010 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2011 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2011 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 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 months ended March 31, 2012. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 2012 and 2011 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing within our existing core 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 acquired assets during the period in 2011 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in 2012 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as “acquisition net revenue.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under the senior credit facility. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the principal borrower under the senior credit facility and maintains all corporate operating cash balances. Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media.

Sources of Cash

Total Liquidity at March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012 we had approximately $277.5 million of total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $35.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and the ability to draw approximately $241.6 million under the revolving portion of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility. We are currently in compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants under the senior credit facility and we would remain in compliance after giving effect to borrowing the full amount available to us under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility.

Cash Generated by Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 our cash provided by operating activities was $36.7 million and $25.8 million, respectively. While our net loss was approximately $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, we generated cash from operating activities of $36.7 million during that same period, primarily due to adjustments needed to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $87.8 million, which primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $72.4 and loss on debt extinguishment of $30.0 million, partially offset by the recognition of deferred tax benefits of $21.7 million. In addition, there was an increase in working capital of $28.3 million. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 2012 in excess of our cash needs for operations and capital expenditures as described herein. We expect to use this excess cash principally to reduce outstanding indebtedness.

Credit Facilities. On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media entered into a restatement agreement with respect to its existing senior credit facility in order to fund a new $100 million Term loan A facility and to make certain covenant changes to the senior credit facility, which was entered into on April 28, 2010, as amended on June 11, 2010, November 18, 2010 and February 9, 2012 (the “senior credit facility”), for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent. The senior credit facility 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 $100 million term loan A-3 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 Media’s 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.

As of March 31, 2012, Lamar Media had approximately $241.6 million of unused capacity under the revolving credit facility included in the senior credit facility. As of March 31, 2012, the aggregate balance outstanding under the senior credit facility was $695.5 million.

Note Offerings. On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2022. The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $489 million. The Company used the proceeds of this offering, after the payment of fees and expenses together with approximately $99 million of net proceeds from its term loan A-3 facility to repurchase $583.1 million of its outstanding 6 5/8% Notes, as described below under the heading “ – Uses of Cash – Tender Offers”.

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 the 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 $122.8 million 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 issued August 2005, $36.1 million 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 – Series B issued in August 2006 and $101.1 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), $400 million 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “7 7/8% Notes”) and $500 million 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “5 7/8% Notes”). The indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit the incurrence of indebtedness (including indebtedness under the 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 to the 9 3/4% Notes indenture, and (b) 7.0 to 1, pursuant to the 6 5/8% Notes, 7 7/8% Notes and 5 7/8% Notes indentures.

In addition to debt incurred under the provisions described in the preceding sentence, the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes permit Lamar Media to incur indebtedness pursuant to the following baskets:

 

   

up to $1.3 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility allowable under the 6 5/8% Notes indenture, up to $1.4 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility allowable under the 9 3/4% Notes indenture and $1.5 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility allowable under the 7 7/8% Notes and 5 7/8% Notes indentures;

 

   

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 Media’s net tangible assets; and

 

   

additional debt not to exceed $50 million ($75 million under the 7 7/8% Notes and 5 7/8% Notes indentures).

Restrictions under Senior Credit Facility. Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under the senior credit facility. If the Company fails to comply with these tests, the long term debt payments may be accelerated. At March 31, 2012 and currently, Lamar Media was in compliance with all such tests. We must be in compliance with the following financial ratios under our senior credit facility:

 

   

a total holdings debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt of Lamar Advertising 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  

March 31, 2012 through and including March 30, 2013

From and after March 31, 2013

     6.00 to 1.00

Table of Contents
   

a senior debt ratio, defined as total consolidated senior debt of Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended of less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 and

 

   

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 senior credit facility 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% Notes 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.

Excess Cash Flow Payments. Lamar Media may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding under the senior credit facility that would be applied first to any outstanding term loans, commencing with the year ended December 31, 2010. These payments, if any, are determined annually and are calculated based on a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) at the end of each fiscal year. The percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow that must be applied to repay outstanding loans was set at 50% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. For fiscal years ending or after December 31, 2012, this percentage is subject to reduction to 0% if the total holdings debt ratio, as described above, is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal year. At December 31, 2011, the Company was not required to make a mandatory prepayment since there was a consolidated cash flow deficit, in accordance with the calculation as defined in the senior credit facility and the total holdings debt ratio was less than 5.00 to 1.00.

The Company believes that its current level of cash on hand, availability under the senior credit facility and future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet its operating needs through fiscal 2012. All debt obligations are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.

Uses of Cash

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions were approximately $19.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We anticipate our 2012 total capital expenditures will be approximately $100 million.

Acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company financed its acquisition activity of $6.1 million with cash on hand. In light of the current economic environment, the Company plans to continue to limit acquisition activity during 2012 with no material spending currently planned for acquisitions.

Tender Offers. On January 26, 2012, Lamar Media commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash, up to $700 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6 5/8% Notes. On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media accepted tenders for approximately $483.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6 5/8% Notes, out of approximately $582.9 million tendered, in connection with the early settlement date of the tender offer. On February 27, 2012, Lamar Media accepted tenders for approximately $99.2 million previously tendered and not accepted for payment and an additional $0.2 million tendered following the early settlement date. The holders of the notes tendered on or before midnight on February 8, 2012 received a total consideration of $1,025.83 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered; holders of notes tendered after such date received a total consideration of $1,005.83 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered. The total cash payment to purchase the tendered 6 5/8% Notes on February 9, 2012, including accrued interest up to but excluding February 9, 2012 was approximately $511.6 million and the total cash payment to purchase the tendered notes on February 27, 2012, including accrued interest up to but excluding February 27, 2012 was approximately $102.3 million, resulting in an aggregate payment in respect of the 6 5/8% Notes tender offer of approximately $613.9 million.

Lamar Media Corp.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related note.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended March 31, 2012 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2011

Net revenues increased $11.0 million or 4.3% to $266.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $255.2 million for the same period in 2011. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $9.1 million, which represents an increase of 4.0% over the prior period, an increase in logo sign revenue of $1.1 million, which represents an increase of 8.1% over the prior period, and a $0.8 million increase in transit revenue, which represents an increase of 6.9% over the prior period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was a $10.6 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represents an increase of 4.1%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $10.6 million increase in revenue primarily consists of an $8.6 million increase in billboard revenue, a $1.1 million net increase in transit revenue and a $0.9 million increase in logo revenue over the acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable period in 2011.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $6.8 million or 4.2% to $168.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $162.1 million for the same period in 2011. There was a $5.9 million increase in operating expenses related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets and a $0.9 million increase in corporate expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, gain on sale of assets decreased $5.5 million as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the $5.7 million gain recognized in February 2011 related to the sale of our then existing corporate aircraft.

Due to the above factors, operating income remained relatively constant at $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $25.7 million for the same period in 2011.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recognized a $30.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the settlement of the tender offer for our 6 5/8% Notes. Approximately $14.4 million of the loss is a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discounts associated with the tendered notes. See – “Uses of Cash – Tender Offers” for more information.

Interest expense decreased $3.7 million from $43.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, to $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to the reduction in total debt outstanding in addition to a decrease in interest rates primarily resulting from Lamar Media’s recent refinancing transactions. See – “Uses of Cash – Tender Offers” for more information.

The increase in operating income and the decrease in interest expense, offset by the loss in debt extinguishment, resulted in a $26.0 million increase in net loss before income taxes. This increase in loss resulted in an increase in income tax benefit of $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period in 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 48.1%, which is greater than the statutory rates 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 three months ended March 31, 2012 of $22.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $13.2 million for the same period in 2011.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2010 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2011 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2011 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 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 months ended March 31, 2012. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 2012 and 2011 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing within our existing core 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 acquired assets during the period in 2011 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in 2012 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as “acquisition net revenue.”

Reconciliations of 2011 reported net revenue to 2011 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, as well as a comparison of 2011 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2012 reported net revenue for the three months ended March 31, are provided below:

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 Company’s interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at March 31, 2012 and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Combined Form 10-K.

Loans under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility bear interest at variable rates equal to the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. 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 Company’s net income.

At March 31, 2012 there was approximately $695.5 million of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the senior credit facility, or approximately 31.8% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 with respect to borrowings under the senior credit facility was $6.1 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 3.3%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 5.3% rather than 3.3%), then the Company’s three months ended March 31, 2012 interest expense would have been approximately $3.3 million higher resulting in a $2.0 million increase in the Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company 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 Company’s 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. 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 that, 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 Company’s and Lamar Media’s 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 Company’s and Lamar Media’s 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 Company’s and Lamar Media’s 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 Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control performed during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control over financial reporting.
