LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY

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 2019 Combined Form 10-K. Subsequent events, if any, are evaluated through the date on which the financial statements are issued.

The following are updates to our significant accounting policies from our 2019 Combined Form 10-K.

(a)

Goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets

Due to changes in relevant events and circumstances related to COVID-19, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s goodwill, the Company updated its goodwill qualitative assessment as of June 30, 2020. The update includes assessing macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, reporting unit dispositions and acquisitions, the market capitalization of the Company and other relevant events specific to the Company.  After assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determined that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of either of the Company’s reporting units is less than its carrying amount. Therefore, management will not perform a quantitative impairment test and concluded its goodwill is not impaired as of June 30, 2020.

Management also reviewed the recoverability of our long-lived assets including intangibles, fixed assets and operating lease right of use assets and concluded there is no impairment loss as of June 30, 2020.

(b)

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period.  These estimates take into account historical and forward-looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, based on available information to date.

2. Revenues

Advertising revenues:  The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard, logo and transit displays. Our contracts commencing prior to January 1, 2019 are accounted for under ASC 840, Leases. The majority of our contracts amended or commencing on or after January 1, 2019 are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue. The contract revenues, under ASC 840, Leases and ASC 606, Revenue, are recognized ratably over their contract life. Costs to fulfill a contract, which include our costs to install advertising copy onto billboards, are capitalized and amortized to direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Other revenues:  Our other component of revenue primarily consists of production services which includes creating and printing the advertising copy.  Revenue for production contracts is recognized under ASC 606. Contract revenues for production services are recognized upon satisfaction of the contract which is typically less than one week.

Arrangements with multiple performance obligations:  Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations.  For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price.  We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using expected cost plus margin.

Deferred revenues:  We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is not significant.  For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer.  The balance of deferred income is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within twelve months.

Practical expedients and exemptions: The Company is utilizing the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC 606.  We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct advertising expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).  We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than one year. For contracts with customers which exceed one year, the future amount to be invoiced to the customer corresponds directly with the value to be received by the customer.

The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by source including both revenues accounted for under ASC 840 and ASC 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

3. Leases

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had operating lease costs of $78,331 and $77,816, respectively, and variable lease costs of $10,300 and $18,933, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had operating lease costs of $158,734 and $155,166, respectively, and variable lease costs of $27,744 and $36,017, respectively. These operating lease costs are recorded in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Also, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a loss of $266 and $193, respectively, in (gain) loss of disposition of assets related to the amendment and termination of lease agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a loss of $317 and a gain of $3,911, respectively, in (gain) loss of disposition of assets related to the amendment and termination of lease agreements. Cash payments of $161,460 and $180,487 were made reducing our operating lease liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in cash flows provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

We elected the short-term lease exemption which applies to certain of our vehicle agreements. This election allows the Company to not recognize lease right of use assets (ROU assets) or lease liabilities for agreements with a term of twelve months or less. We recorded $1,249 and $1,097 in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for these agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recorded $2,507 and $2,226 in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for these agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Our operating leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 12.1 years. The weighted-average discount rate of our operating leases is 4.6%. Also, during the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we obtained $9,991 and $8,671, respectively, of leased assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities, which includes liabilities obtained through acquisitions.

4. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 17.5 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 32,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020 a total of 2,470,063 shares were available for future grant.

Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2009 ESPP”), approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009, expired by its terms on June 30, 2019.  On May 30, 2019, our shareholders approved Lamar Advertising’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2019 ESPP”).  The 2019 ESPP became effective upon the expiration of the 2009 ESPP. The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2019 ESPP was automatically increased by 86,093 shares on January 1, 2020 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2019 ESPP.

The following is a summary of 2019 ESPP share activity for the six months ended June 30, 2020: 

 

 

 

Shares

 

Available for future purchases, January 1, 2020

Purchases

 

 

(89,848

)

Available for future purchases, June 30, 2020

 

 

434,679

 

 

Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers, employees and directors under the 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 2020 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2021. 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, 2020, the Company has recorded $3,494 as stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards. In addition, each non-employee director automatically receives a restricted stock award of our Class A common stock upon election or re-election. The awards vest 50% on grant date and 50% on the last day of the directors’ one year term. The Company recorded $492 in stock-based compensation expense related to these awards for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

8. Distribution Restrictions

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 its senior credit facility. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Lamar Media was permitted under the terms of its outstanding senior subordinated and senior notes to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances in amounts up to $3,429,654 and $3,389,763, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020, Lamar Media’s senior credit facility allows it to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in any taxable year up to the amount of Lamar Advertising’s taxable income (without any deduction for dividends paid). In addition, as of June 30, 2020, transfers to Lamar Advertising are permitted under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and as defined therein up to the available cumulative credit, as long as no default has occurred and is continuing and, after giving effect to such distributions, (i) the total debt ratio is less than 7.0 to 1 and (ii) the secured debt ratio does not exceed 4.5 to 1. As of June 30, 2020, the total debt ratio was less than 7.0 to 1 and Lamar Media’s secured debt ratio was less than 4.5 to 1, and the available cumulative credit was $2,180,134.

The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options. There were no dilutive shares excluded from this calculation resulting from their anti-dilutive effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Senior Credit Facility

On February 6, 2020, Lamar Media entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto, under which the parties agreed to amend and restate Lamar Media’s existing senior credit facility. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017, as amended (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

The new senior credit facility, as established by the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “senior credit facility”), consists of (i) a new $750,000 senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on February 6, 2025 (the “revolving credit facility”), (ii) a new $600,000 Term B loan facility (the “Term B loans”)  which will mature on February 6, 2027, and (iii) an incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”) pursuant to which Lamar Media may incur additional term loan tranches or increase its revolving credit facility subject to a pro forma secured debt ratio of 4.50 to 1.00, as well as certain other conditions including lender approval.  Lamar Media borrowed all $600,000 in Term B loans on February 6, 2020.  The entire amount of the Term B loans will be payable at maturity. The net proceeds from the Term B loans, together with borrowing under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility and a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the 3 3/4% Senior Notes due 2028 and 4% Senior Notes due 2030 (both as described below), were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and all revolving commitments under that facility were terminated. As a result of refinancing our credit facility the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $5,608 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Term B loans mature on February 6, 2027 with no required amortization payments. The Term B loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar Term B loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50%. Base Rate Term B loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50%.

The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.25% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.25% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term B loans and revolving credit facility.

As of June 30, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $12,784 in letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020 resulting in $737,216 of availability under its revolving credit facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on February 6, 2025.

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.

The senior credit facility contains provisions that allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that allows Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions.

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 a specified secured debt ratio as long as a revolving credit commitment, revolving loan or letter of credit remains outstanding, and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments.

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

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On December 18, 2018, Lamar Media entered into a $175,000 Receivable Financing Agreement (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Program”) with its wholly-owned special purpose entities, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”) maturing on December 17, 2021.  The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.

Pursuant to two separate Purchase and Sale Agreements dated December 18, 2018, each of which is among Lamar Media as initial Servicer, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries and a Special Purpose Subsidiary, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the Special Purpose Subsidiaries. The Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and provides a performance guaranty.

On June 30, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement dated December 18, 2018. The Amendment increases the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio, Dilution Ratio and Days’ Sales Outstanding to 11.00% (from 8.00%), 7.00% (from 4.00%) and 75 days (from 65 days), respectively, for each of the months of June, July and August 2020. The Amendment does not modify any other financial covenant. Additionally, the Amendment establishes a new Minimum Funding Threshold, which requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries have the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election.

As of June 30, 2020 there was no outstanding aggregate borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media had $171,810 available for borrowing under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of June 30, 2020. The commitment fees based on the amount of unused commitments under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program were immaterial during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged accounts receivable and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

5% Senior Subordinated Notes

On October 30, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $535,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “5% Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $527,100.

Lamar Media may redeem the 5% Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5% Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date.

5 3/8% Senior Notes

On January 10, 2014, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $510,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “5 3/8% Notes”).

The Company used the proceeds from the 4% Senior Notes and 3 3/4% Senior Notes to redeem in full all of the 5 3/8% Notes on February 20, 2020 at a redemption price of 101% of the aggregate principal amounts of the outstanding 5 3/8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $12,576, of which $9,139 was cash, for the period ended June 30, 2020.

5 3/4% Senior Notes

On January 28, 2016, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “5 3/4% Notes”). The institutional private placement on January 28, 2016 resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $394,500.

On February 1, 2019, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of an additional $250,000 aggregate principal amount under its 5 3/4% Notes (the “New Notes”). Other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and CUSIP number, the New Notes have the same terms as the 5 3/4% Notes. The net proceeds after underwriting fees and expenses, was approximately $251,500 and were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Debt Repurchase Program

On March 16, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized Lamar Media to repurchase up to $250,000 outstanding senior or senior subordinated notes and other indebtedness outstanding from time to time under its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The repurchase program will expire on September 30, 2021 unless extended by the Board of Directors.  There were no repurchases under the program as of June 30, 2020.

 

 

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 $3,159,255 which does not exceed the carrying amount of $3,199,014 as of June 30, 2020. The majority of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded debt (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and the remaining is valued based on quoted prices for similar debt (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

 

 

12. New Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10 and ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right of use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity was permitted to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. Consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.  We also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for certain of our vehicle agreements. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities.

Upon adoption, we recognized additional operating liabilities of $1.2 billion, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for our existing operating leases. In addition to the increase to the operating lease liabilities and right of use assets, Topic 842 also resulted in reclassifying the presentation of prepaid and deferred rent to operating lease right of use assets. The Company did not have any changes to its opening balance of retained earnings for the adoption of this update.

Other recently released pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and additional changes modifications, clarifications, or interpretations related to this guidance thereafter, which require a reporting entity to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, and present assets held at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities at the amount expected to be collected. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2020, our allowance for credit losses considered the current and future impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, based on available information to date. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company declared and paid cash distributions in an aggregate amount of $50,396 or $0.50 per share and $96,039 or $0.96 per share, respectively.

The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRSs), the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount of $91 or $15.95 per share and $182 or $31.90 per share for each period, respectively.

14. Information about Geographic Areas

All other revenues from external customers and long lived assets relate to domestic operations.

15. Stockholders’ Equity

 

On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as its sales agents (each a “Sales Agent”, and collectively, the “Sales Agents”).  Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000, through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Lamar Media’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2019 Combined Form 10-K.

The following condensed consolidating financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. The condensed consolidating financial information is provided as an alternative to providing separate financial statements for guarantor subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of Lamar Media’s subsidiary guarantors are not included because the guarantees are full and unconditional and the subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned and jointly and severally liable for Lamar Media’s outstanding publicly issued notes. The accounts for all companies reflected herein are presented using the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report 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 2019 Combined Form 10-K filed on February 20, 2020, as updated and supplemented in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and as such risk factors may be further updated or ‎supplemented, from time to time, in our future combined Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto.

Overview

The Company’s net revenues are derived primarily from the rental of advertising space on outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. 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.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 and the related government-imposed restrictions and social distancing measures implemented throughout the world have reduced demand for out-of-home advertising. Beginning in late March, large public events were cancelled, and governments began imposing restrictions on non-essential activities, which in turn lead to advertisers suspending, delaying or cancelling their advertising campaigns.  The government-imposed restrictions have had an adverse impact on the volume of vehicles on roadways (particularly in larger markets), pedestrians in airports and riders on public transit and numerous advertising customer segments including, but not limited to, entertainment, retail, restaurant and automotive advertisers.

As a result, demand for billboard, transit and airport advertising declined, which has had an adverse impact on our revenues and financial position. The decrease in outdoor advertising demand during the three months ended June 30, 2020 resulted in a 22.5% decrease in our consolidated net revenues as compared to the same period in 2019. As revenues declined, the Company responded through a variety of cost saving and liquidity measures as discussed below. While we cannot predict the length and severity of the reduction in demand due to the pandemic, we observed an improvement in customer activity in June and July as the government-imposed restrictions on travel were eased. However, the exact timing and pace of the recovery remain uncertain given the continued impact of the pandemic on the overall U.S. and global economy, and new or renewed government-imposed restrictions on travel may be enacted in the future. Our liquidity measures and expense management initiatives may be modified as we monitor the timing of economic recovery.

In response to the ongoing pandemic, we have implemented measures to mitigate the impact on our financial position and operations. These measures include, but are not limited to, the following: 

 

issuing $400.0 million in 4 7/8% Senior Notes on May 13, 2020 which, along with cash on hand, were used to pay-down all outstanding balances under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 we repaid all amounts outstanding under its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. The Company’s total liquidity was approximately $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2020;

 

reducing our consolidated operating costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on disposition of assets) by $25.3 million or 10.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 over the same period in 2019 which included:

 

o

reductions in our transit and airport franchise costs and billboard lease costs; and

 

o

reducing our workforce by approximately 5% through attrition and selected layoffs;

34


 

 

sharply curtailing spending on capital projects, including new digital displays;

 

limiting acquisition activity; and

 

utilizing portions of the CARES Act for deferral of employer portions of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferral due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022.

 

We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and we may access the debt and/or equity capital markets for additional liquidity, if necessary.

 

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are continuing to evaluate our quarterly dividend plans for the remainder of 2020.  This evaluation includes ensuring the Company remains in compliance with its REIT dividend requirements for the year.

 

As of June 30, 2020 we did not incur any impairment charges related to goodwill or long-lived assets (including operating lease right of use assets). We also did not incur any significant credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

While some of our corporate, front office and sales workforce continues to work from home, a large majority have returned to their offices while adhering to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention and state and local governmental guidelines and recommendations. Due to the nature of their duties, our billboard operations employees, for the most part, continue to complete their tasks, while still adhering to social distancing measures.  The impacts of working from home have been minimal on productivity. Also, while working from home has minimally impacted our processes, there have been no material impacts to our internal control environment.

 

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and stockholders.

 

Acquisitions and capital expenditures

Historically, the Company has made strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets to increase the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates in existing and new markets. The Company continues to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise. The Company has financed its historical acquisitions and intends to finance any future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its senior credit facility or the issuance of debt or equity securities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Sources of Cash” for more information. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed several acquisitions for a total cash purchase price of approximately $26.2 million. See Uses of Cash – Acquisitions for more information.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on several key performance indicators not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe these non-GAAP performance indicators are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Included in our analysis of our results of operations are discussions regarding earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and acquisition-adjusted net revenue.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense (income), loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt and investments, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposition of assets and investments, capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net and the impact of ASC 842 adoption.

FFO is defined as net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate assets and investments and real estate related depreciation and amortization and including adjustments to eliminate unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

We define AFFO as FFO before (i) straight-line revenue and expense; (ii) impact of ASC 842 adoption; (iii) capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) non-cash portion of tax provision; (vi) non-real estate related depreciation and amortization; (vii) amortization of deferred financing costs; (viii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (ix) non-recurring infrequent or unusual losses (gains); (x) less maintenance capital expenditures; and (xi) an adjustment for unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue adjusts our net revenue for the prior period by adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets before our acquisition of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the current period. In calculating acquisition-adjusted revenue, therefore, we include revenue generated by assets that we did not own in the period but acquired in the current period. We refer to the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the acquired assets during the prior period that corresponds with the current period in which we owned the assets (to the extent within the period to which this report relates) as “acquisition net revenue”. In addition, we also adjust the prior period to subtract revenue generated by the assets that have been divested since the prior period and, therefore, no revenue derived from those assets is reflected in the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are not intended to replace net income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Rather, adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. We believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for purposes of decision making and for evaluating our core operating results; (2) adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the industry to measure operating performance as depreciation and amortization may vary significantly among companies depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (3) acquisition-adjusted net revenue is a supplement to net revenue to enable investors to compare period over period results on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions and divestures, which reflects our core performance and organic growth (if any) during the period in which the assets were owned and managed by us; (4) adjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO each provides investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature; and (5) each provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies.

Our measurement of adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue may not, however, be fully comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, have been included herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six Months ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues decreased $79.0 million or 9.5% to $754.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $833.2 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in billboard and transit net revenues of $62.6 million and $17.1 million, respectively, over the same period in 2019, which related to the ongoing pandemic. The decrease was offset slightly by an increase of $0.7 million in logo revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was an $89.2 million decrease in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which represents a decrease of 10.6%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $89.2 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to a $73.3 million and $16.6 million decrease in billboard and transit net revenues, respectively, which are due to the effects of the ongoing pandemic. The decrease in outdoor and transit revenues were slightly off set by an increase of $0.7 million in logo revenue.

Total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on disposition of assets, decreased $11.9 million, or 2.5% to $468.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $480.3 million in the same period in 2019. The $11.9 million decrease over the prior year is comprised of a $10.5 million decrease in total direct, general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) primarily related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets, as well as a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.1 million to $126.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $123.2 million for the same period in 2019.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a gain on disposition of assets of $3.5 million primarily resulting from transactions related to billboard locations.

Due to the above factors, operating income decreased by $71.9 million to $163.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $234.9 million for the same period in 2019.

The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $18.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which relates to the early repayment of our 5 3/8% Senior Notes and refinancing of our senior credit facility.

Interest expense decreased $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $72.0 million as compared to $75.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease in operating income, offset by the decrease in interest expense, resulted in an $86.1 million decrease in net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 1.8%, which differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to our qualification for taxation as a REIT and adjustments for foreign items.

As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $71.9 million, as compared to net income of $169.6 million for the same period in 2019.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2018 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2019 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2019 net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 by adding to or subtracting from it the net revenue generated by the acquired or divested assets prior to our acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Reconciliations of 2019 reported net revenue to 2019 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the six months ended June 30, as well as a comparison of 2019 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2020 reported net revenue for the six months ended June 30, are provided below:

The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to a decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, the impact of ASC 842 adoption and capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net) of $68.3 million, and was offset by a decrease in total general and administrative and corporate expenses of $7.2 million, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased from $264.3 million in 2019 to $189.7 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of 28.2%.  AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 17.3% to $209.3 million as compared to $253.0 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in AFFO was primarily attributable to the decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net and the impact of ASC 842 adoption) offset by decreases in the total of general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense).

 

Three Months ended June 30, 2020 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues decreased $101.1 million or 22.5% to $347.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $448.7 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in billboard and transit net revenues of $81.7 million and $18.6 million, respectively, over the same period in 2019, which related to the ongoing pandemic.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, there was a $106.2 million decrease in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which represents a decrease of 23.4%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $106.2 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to an $87.0 million and $18.4 million decrease in billboard and transit net revenues, respectively, and are a result of the effects due to the ongoing pandemic.

Total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on disposition of assets, decreased $25.3 million, or 10.4% to $218.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $243.5 million in the same period in 2019. The $25.3 million decrease over the prior year is comprised of a $22.7 million decrease in total direct, general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) primarily related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets, as well as a $2.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.3 million to $64.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $61.7 million for the same period in 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a gain on disposition of assets of $1.0 million primarily resulting from transactions related to billboard locations.

Due to the above factors, operating income decreased by $77.7 million to $66.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $144.1 million for the same period in 2019.

39


 

Interest expense decreased $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $35.4 million as compared to $38.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease in operating income, offset by the decrease in interest expense resulted in a $74.8 million decrease in net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was (0.8)%, which differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to our qualification for taxation as a REIT and adjustments for foreign items.

As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $31.4 million, as compared to net income of $118.4 million for the same period in 2019.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2018 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2019 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2019 net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 by adding to or subtracting from it the net revenue generated by the acquired or divested assets prior to our acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased from $159.3 million in 2019 to $92.1 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of 42.2%.  AFFO for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 37.7% to $96.1 million as compared to $154.1 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in AFFO was primarily attributable to the decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net and the impact of ASC 842 adoption) offset by decreases in the total of general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense).

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 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. As of June 30, 2020 we had approximately $1.086 billion of total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $177.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $737.2 million of availability under the revolving portion of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and $171.8 million of availability under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. We expect the liquidity measures taken (as discussed above) and the remaining availability under the revolving credit facility and Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to be adequate in order for the Company to meet its operational requirements for the next twelve months as we continue to contend with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently in compliance with the maintenance covenant included in 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.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital surplus (deficit) of $50.4 million and $(362.6) million, respectively. The increase in the working capital of $413.0 million is primarily due to our repayment of all outstanding balances under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and increase in cash on hand as of June 30, 2020.

41


 

Cash Generated by Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 our cash provided by operating activities was $210.7 million and $237.0 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 over the same period in 2019 relates to a decrease in revenues offset by a decrease in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). Due to the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may not generate cash flows from operations during 2020 in excess of our cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and dividends, as described herein. However, we do expect to have sufficient cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization program to meet our operating cash needs for the next twelve months.

 

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  On December 18, 2018, we entered into the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program provides up to $175.0 million in borrowing capacity, plus an accordion feature that would permit the borrowing capacity to be increased by up to $125.0 million. Borrowing capacity under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. In connection with the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, Lamar Media and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Originators”) sell and/or contribute their existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to one of two special purpose subsidiaries, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC (the “QRS SPV”) and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lamar Media. Existing and future accounts receivable relating to Lamar Media and its qualified REIT subsidiaries will be sold and/or contributed to the QRS SPV and existing and future accounts receivable relating to Lamar Media’s taxable REIT subsidiaries will be sold and/or contributed to the TRS SPV.  Each of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries has granted the lenders party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program a security interest in all of its assets, which consist of the accounts receivable and related assets sold or contributed to them, as described above, in order to secure the obligations of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  Pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, Lamar Media has agreed to service the accounts receivable on behalf of the two Special Purpose Subsidiaries for a fee. Lamar Media has also agreed to guaranty its performance in its capacity as servicer and originator, as well as the performance of the Subsidiary Originators, of their obligations under the agreements governing the Account Receivable Securitization Program. None of Lamar Media, the Subsidiary Originators or the Special Purpose Subsidiaries guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. In addition, each of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the assets of such Special Purpose Subsidiary before the assets become available to Lamar Media.  Accordingly, the assets of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries are not available to pay creditors of Lamar Media or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from receivables in excess of the amounts required to repay the lenders and the other creditors of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries may be remitted to Lamar Media.  

 

On June 30, 2020 Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program which increased the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio, Dilution Ratio, and Days’ Sales Outstanding to 11.00% (from 8.00%), 7.00% (from 4.00%) and 75 days (from 65 days), respectively. Additionally, the Amendment establishes a new Minimum Funding Threshold, which requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate ‎Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries have the right to borrow less than the ‎Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020, at their election.

 

As of June 30, 2020 there were no outstanding aggregate borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media had approximately $171.8 million of availability under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of June 30, 2020.

 

“At-the-Market” Offering Program. On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as our sales agents (each a “Sales Agent”, and collectively, the “Sales Agents”).  Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals.  Sales of the Class A common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.  The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Class A common stock under the Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the Sales Agreement.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of the Class A common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of existing indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition of outdoor advertising assets and businesses and other related investments.   During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not issue any shares under this program.

Shelf Registration Statement. On August 6, 2018, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement (No. 333-226614) that registered the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of additional shares of our Class A common stock.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not issue any shares under this shelf registration, however, we may issue additional shares under the shelf registration statement in the future in connection with future acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes. 

Credit Facilities. On February 6, 2020, Lamar Media entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto, under which the parties agreed to amend and restate Lamar Media’s existing senior credit facility. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017, as amended (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

The senior credit facility, as established by the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “senior credit facility”), consists of (i) a new $750.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on February 6, 2025 (the “revolving credit facility”), (ii) a new $600.0 million Term B loan facility (the “Term B loans”)  which will mature on February 6, 2027, and (iii) an incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”) pursuant to which Lamar Media may incur additional term loan tranches or increase its revolving credit facility subject to a pro forma secured debt ratio calculated as described under “Restrictions under Senior Credit Facility” of 4.50 to 1.00, as well as certain other conditions including lender approval.  Lamar Media borrowed all $600.0 million in Term B loans on February 6, 2020.  The entire amount of the Term B loans will be payable at maturity. The net proceeds from the Term B loans, together with borrowing under the revolving credit facility and a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the 3 3/4% Senior Notes due 2028 and 4% Senior Notes due 2030 (both as described below), were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and all revolving commitments under that facility were terminated. See Uses of Cash for more information.

As of June 30, 2020 the aggregate balance outstanding under the senior credit facility was $600.0 million, consisting of $600.0 million in Term B loans aggregate principal balance and no balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility loans.  Lamar Media had approximately $737.2 million of unused capacity under the revolving credit facility. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $5.6 million related to the refinancing of its senior credit facility.

Note Offerings. On February 6, 2020, Lamar Media issued, through an institutional private placement, $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of new senior notes consisting of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3 3/4% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “3 3/4% Senior Notes”) and $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “4% Senior Notes”).  Lamar Media used the proceeds of this offering to repay its existing Term A loans, redeem in full all $510.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5 3/8% Senior Notes due 2024 and partially repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $12.6 million, of which $9.1 million was cash related to its redemption of the 5 3/8% Senior Notes. See Uses of Cash-Note Redemption for more information.

On May 13, 2020, Lamar Media issued, through an institutional private placement, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4 7/8% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “4 7/8% Senior Notes”). The issuance of the 4 7/8% Senior Notes resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $395.0 million. Lamar Media used the proceeds of this offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

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. As a result of COVID-19, we incurred an adverse effect on our internally generated cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and while we are uncertain of the severity and duration of the decline, we are anticipating an economic rebound in the second half of 2020 and into 2021.

Credit Facilities and Other Debt Securities. The Company and Lamar Media must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to the senior credit facility, its outstanding debt securities and its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.

 

Restrictions Under Debt Securities. The Company and Lamar Media must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to its outstanding debt securities. Currently, Lamar Media has outstanding the $535.0 million 5% Senior Subordinated Notes issued in October 2012 (the “5% Senior Subordinated Notes”), the $650.0 million 5 3/4% Senior Notes issued in January 2016 and February 2019 (the “5 3/4% Senior Notes”), the $600.0 million 3 3/4% Senior Notes issued February 2020, the $400.0 million 4% Senior Notes issued February 2020 and the $400.0 million 4 7/8% Senior Notes issued in May 2020.

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 the sum of (x) total consolidated debt plus (y) the aggregate liquidation preference of any preferred stock of Lamar Media’s restricted subsidiaries to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA (as defined in the indentures)) would be less than 7.0 to 1.0. Currently, Lamar Media is not in default under the indentures of any of its outstanding notes and, therefore, would be permitted to incur additional indebtedness subject to the foregoing provision.

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

 

up to $1.5 billion (or up to $2.0 billion in the case of the indentures governing the 3 3/4% Senior Notes, the 4% Senior Notes and the 4 7/8% Senior Notes) of indebtedness under the senior credit facility;

 

indebtedness outstanding on the date of the indentures or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt;

 

inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries or between restricted 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 $50.0 million or 5% of Lamar Media’s net tangible assets;

 

additional debt not to exceed $75.0 million; and

 

up to $500.0 million of permitted securitization financings, in the case of the indentures governing the 3 3/4% Senior Notes, the 4% Senior Notes and the 4 7/8% Senior Notes.

Restrictions Under Senior Credit Facility. Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under the senior credit facility. If the Company or Lamar Media fails to comply with these tests, the lenders under the senior credit facility will be entitled to exercise certain remedies, including the termination of the lending commitments and the acceleration of the debt payments under the senior credit facility. At June 30, 2020 and currently, we are in compliance with all such tests under the senior credit facility.

Lamar Media must maintain a secured debt ratio, defined as total consolidated secured debt of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (including capital lease obligations), minus the lesser of (x) $150.0 million and (y) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (other than the Special Purpose Subsidiaries (as defined above under Sources of Cash – Accounts Receivable Securitization Program)) to EBITDA, as defined below, for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, of less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0.

Lamar Media is restricted from incurring additional indebtedness subject to exceptions, one of which is that it may incur additional indebtedness not exceeding the greater of $250.0 million or 6% of its total assets.

Lamar Media is also restricted from incurring additional unsecured senior indebtedness under certain circumstances unless, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, it is in compliance with the secured debt ratio covenant and if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, Lamar Media would have a total debt ratio, defined as (a) total consolidated debt (including subordinated debt) of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries as of any date minus the lesser of (i) $150.0 million and (ii) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (other than the Special Purpose Subsidiaries) to (b) EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended, is less than 7.0 to 1.0. 

Lamar Media is also restricted from incurring additional subordinated indebtedness under certain circumstances unless, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, it is in compliance with the secured debt ratio covenant and its total debt ratio is less than 7.0 to 1.0.

44


 

Under the senior credit facility, “EBITDA” means, for any period, operating income for Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated (A) before (i) taxes, (ii) interest expense, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization, (v) any other non-cash income or charges accrued for such period, (vi) charges and expenses in connection with the senior credit facility, any actual or proposed acquisition, disposition or investment (excluding, in each case, purchases and sales of advertising space and operating assets in the ordinary course of business) and any actual or proposed offering of securities, incurrence or repayment of indebtedness (or amendment to any agreement relating to indebtedness), including any refinancing thereof, or recapitalization and (vii) any loss or gain relating to amounts paid or earned in cash prior to the stated settlement date of any swap agreement that has been reflected in operating income for such period) and (viii) any loss on sales of receivables and related assets to a Securitization Entity in connection with a Permitted Securitization Financing)  and (B) after giving effect to the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies projected by Lamar Media in good faith to be realized as a result of any acquisition, investment, merger, amalgamation or disposition within 18 months of any such acquisition, investment, merger, amalgamation or disposition, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such action; provided, (a) the aggregate amount for all such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies will not exceed an amount equal to 15% of EBITDA for the applicable four quarter period and (b) any such adjustment to EBITDA may only take into account cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies that are (I) directly attributable to such acquisition, investment, merger, amalgamation or disposition, (II) expected to have a continuing impact on Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries and (III) factually supportable, in each case all as certified by the chief financial officer of Lamar Media) on behalf of Lamar Media, and excluding (except to the extent received or paid in cash by Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than the special purpose 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 and dispositions. For purposes hereof, the effect thereon of any adjustments required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R shall be excluded.  If during any period for which EBITDA is being determined, Lamar Media has consummated any acquisition or disposition, EBITDA will be determined on a pro forma basis as if such acquisition or disposition had been made or consummated on the first day of such period.

 

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 for the next twelve months. All debt obligations are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Restrictions under Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  The agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and termination event provisions, including but not limited to those providing for the acceleration of amounts owed under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program if, among other things, the Special Purpose Subsidiaries fail to make payments when due, Lamar Media, the Subsidiary Originators or the Special Purpose Subsidiaries become insolvent or subject to bankruptcy proceedings or certain judicial judgments, breach certain representations and warranties or covenants or default under other material indebtedness, a change of control occurs, or if Lamar Media fails to maintain the maximum secured debt ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 required under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility.

Uses of Cash

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions were approximately $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Due to the economic impacts of COVID-19 we have updated our anticipated 2020 total capital expenditures to be approximately $58.0 million.

Acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $26.2 million, which were financed using available cash on hand or borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Due to the economic impacts of COVID-19 we are limiting our acquisition activity.

Note Redemption. On July 30, 2020, the Company announced its intent to redeem $267.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “5% Notes”) on August 31, 2020. Following the redemption, $267.5 million of the original $535.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes will remain outstanding. The redemption will be funded with a combination of cash on hand and availability under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.

On February 20, 2020, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the 3 3/4% Senior Notes and 4% Senior Notes to redeem in full all $510.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Lamar Media’s 5 3/8% Senior Notes.  The notes were redeemed at a redemption price equal to 101.792% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $12.6 million related to the note redemption.  See Sources of Cash-Note Offerings for more information.

Senior Credit facility. The Term B loans mature on February 6, 2027 and there are no required amortization payments related to the Term B loans. The Term B loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar Term B loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50%. Base Rate Term B loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50%. The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.25% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.25% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term B loans and revolving credit facility.

Dividends. On February 27, 2020, Lamar Advertising’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share, paid on March 31, 2020 to its stockholders of record of its Class A common stock and Class B common stock on March 16, 2020. On May 28, 2020, Lamar Advertising’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share, paid on June 30, 2020 to its stockholders of record of its Class A common stock and Class B common stock on June 22, 2020. The Company’s Board of Directors will evaluate our future dividend plans on a quarterly basis, giving consideration to our liquidity, our leverage and the anticipated operating environment. We intend to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income and remain REIT qualified.

As a REIT, the Company must annually distribute to its stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Stock and Debt Repurchasing Program. On March 16, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Additionally, the Board of Directors has authorized Lamar Media to repurchase up to $250.0 million in outstanding senior or senior subordinated notes and other indebtedness outstanding from time to time under its senior credit agreement. The repurchase program will expire on September 30, 2021 unless extended by the Board of Directors.  There were no repurchases under the program as of June 30, 2020. The Company’s management may opt not to make any repurchases under the program, or may make aggregate purchases less than the total amount authorized.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments consist of guaranteed minimum payments to local transit municipalities and airport authorities for agreements which entitle us to rent advertising space to customers, in airports and on buses, benches or shelters. These agreements no longer meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842, Leases, adopted on January 1, 2019 and are a result of our normal course of business

Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding debt of approximately $3.156 billion. In the future, Lamar Media has principal revolver commitment reductions under the senior credit facility. In addition, it has fixed commercial commitments. These commitments are detailed on a contractual basis as follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in Item 7 of our 2019 Combined Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10 and ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right of use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity was permitted to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. Consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.  We also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for certain of our vehicle agreements. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities.

Upon adoption, we recognized additional operating liabilities of $1.2 billion, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for our existing operating leases. The Company did not have any changes to its opening balance of retained earnings for the adoption of this update.

 

Other recently released pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and additional changes modifications, clarifications, or interpretations related to this guidance thereafter, which require a reporting entity to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, and present assets held at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities at the amount expected to be collected. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2020, our allowance for credit losses considered the current and future impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, based on available information to date. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on expected credit losses.

LAMAR MEDIA CORP.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six Months ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues decreased $79.0 million or 9.5% to $754.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $833.2 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in billboard and transit net revenues of $62.6 million and $17.1 million, respectively, over the same period in 2019, which related to the ongoing pandemic. The decrease was offset slightly by an increase of $0.7 million in logo revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was an $89.2 million decrease in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which represents a decrease of 10.6%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $89.2 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to a $73.3 and $16.6 million decrease in billboard and transit net revenues, respectively, which are due to the effects of the ongoing pandemic. The decreases in outdoor and transit revenues were slightly offset by an increase of $0.7 million in logo revenue.

Total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on disposition of assets, decreased $11.9 million, or 2.5% to $468.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $480.1 million in the same period in 2019. The $11.9 million decrease over the prior year is comprised of a $10.6 million decrease in total direct, general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) primarily related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets, as well as a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.1 million to $126.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $123.2 million for the same period in 2019.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Lamar Media recognized a gain on disposition of assets of $3.5 million primarily resulting from transactions related to billboard locations.

Due to the above factors, operating income decreased by $71.8 million to $163.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $235.1 million for the same period in 2019.

Lamar Media recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $18.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which relates to the early repayment of our 5 3/8% Senior Notes and refinancing of our senior credit facility.

Interest expense decreased $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $72.0 million as compared to $75.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease in operating income, offset by the decrease in interest expense resulted in an $86.1 million decrease in net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 1.8%, which differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to our qualification for taxation as a REIT and adjustments for foreign items.

As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $72.2 million, as compared to net income of $169.8 million for the same period in 2019.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2018 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2019 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2019 net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 by adding to or subtracting from it the net revenue generated by the acquired or divested assets prior to our acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Reconciliations of 2019 reported net revenue to 2019 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the six months ended June 30, as well as a comparison of 2019 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2020 reported net revenue for the six months ended June 30, are provided below:

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 17.2% to $293.2 million. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to a decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net and the impact of ASC 842 adoption) of $68.3 million, and was offset by a decrease in total general and administrative and corporate expenses of $7.2 million, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased from $264.5 million in 2019 to $189.9 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of 28.2%.  AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 17.2% to $209.6 million as compared to $253.2 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in AFFO was primarily attributable to the decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net and the impact of ASC 842 adoption) offset by decreases in the total of general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense).

 

Three Months ended June 30, 2020 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues decreased $101.1 million or 22.5% to $347.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $448.7 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in billboard and transit net revenues of $81.7 million and $18.6 million, respectively, over the same period in 2019, which related to the ongoing pandemic.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, there was a $106.2 million decrease in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which represents a decrease of 23.4%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $106.2 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to an $87.0 million and $18.4 million decrease in billboard and transit net revenues, respectively, and are a result of the effects due to the ongoing pandemic.

Total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on disposition of assets, decreased $25.3 million, or 10.4% to $218.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $243.4 million in the same period in 2019. The $25.3 million decrease over the prior year is comprised of a $22.7 million decrease in total direct, general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) primarily related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets, as well as a $2.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.3 million to $64.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $61.7 million for the same period in 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Lamar Media recognized a gain on disposition of assets of $1.0 million primarily resulting from transactions related to billboard locations.

Due to the above factors, operating income decreased by $77.6 million to $66.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $144.2 million for the same period in 2019.

Interest expense decreased $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $35.4 million as compared to $38.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease in operating income, offset by the decrease in interest expense resulted in a $74.8 million decrease in net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was (0.8)%, which differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to our qualification for taxation as a REIT and adjustments for foreign items.

As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $31.5 million, as compared to net income of $118.5 million for the same period in 2019.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.

Lamar Advertising 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 June 30, 2020, and should be read in conjunction with Note 10 of the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lamar Media has variable-rate debt outstanding under its senior credit facility and its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  Because interest rates may increase or decrease at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in interest rates may have on the applicable borrowings outstanding.  Increases in the interest rates applicable to these borrowings would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company’s net income.

At June 30, 2020 there was approximately $598.3 million of indebtedness outstanding under the senior credit facility and its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, or approximately 18.7% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for 2020 with respect to borrowings under the senior credit facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program was $13.9 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to these borrowings during 2020 was 2.6%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200 basis points higher (that is 4.6% rather than 2.6%), then the Company’s 2020 interest expense would have increased by approximately $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

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 applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted Base Rate 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 have been no changes 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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our Class A common stock. Except as stated below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors since our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have and are expected ‎to continue to materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.‎

‎Any outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments could ‎have a significant adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of significant governmental measures to control ‎the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions, business shutdowns and restrictions on non-essential activities in the United States and abroad.  Such restrictions have had an adverse impact on the volume of vehicles on roadways (particularly in larger markets), pedestrians in ‎airports and riders on public transit, which has temporarily reduced the size of the audience for our advertising in certain jurisdictions. The restrictions have also negatively affected the financial condition of numerous advertising customer segments including, but not limited to, entertainment, ‎retail, restaurant and automotive advertisers, which have temporarily closed or limited their operations, and caused certain of our advertisers to decrease or eliminate the amount they spend on advertising with us on a temporary basis.

‎The Company’s business has been affected adversely ‎due to decreased demand for its advertising in jurisdictions that have imposed such restrictions. In the United States, state and local governments have begun to lift certain of these restrictions in many locations, however, the ‎extension of existing measures or implementation of new similar measures may further adversely affect the Company’s business in the future. Even if such ‎measures are further relaxed, the perceived ‎risk of infection may continue to alter the behavior of the audience for our advertising, which may continue to negatively affect the Company’s business. Such risks are also expected to continue to affect the financial condition of certain of our advertising customers, which may have a negative effect on the Company’s business if advertising customers continue to reduce advertising expenditures generally or for outdoor advertising specifically.

In addition to the above, the general market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decline in ‎the Company’s stock price.

These and other potential impacts of COVID-19 (or other epidemics, pandemics or other health ‎crises) have and are expected to continue to adversely affect the Company’s business, financial ‎condition and results of operations. The ultimate extent of the impact of COVID-19 or any epidemic, ‎pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend ‎on future developments, which are ‎highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information ‎that may emerge concerning the ‎severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain COVID-19 and ‎address its impact, among others.‎

Prospective investors should consult with their tax advisors regarding the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the CARES Act.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”). The TCJA made major changes to the Code, including a number of provisions of the Code that affect the taxation of REITs and their stockholders. Among the changes made by the TCJA are permanently reducing the generally applicable corporate tax rate, generally reducing the tax rate applicable to individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, eliminating or modifying certain previously allowed deductions (including substantially limiting interest deductibility and, for individuals, the deduction for non-business state and local taxes). On March 27, 2020, legislation intended to support the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), was signed into law. The CARES Act made technical corrections, or temporary modifications, to certain of the provisions of the TJCA, including, without limitation, the provisions of the TCJA concerning net operating losses (“NOLs”) and interest expense deductions. Certain CARES Act related interest expense deduction changes are discussed in the following subsection. With respect to NOLs, effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the TCJA limited the deduction for NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income (before the deduction) and eliminated NOL carrybacks for individuals and non-REIT corporations (NOL carrybacks did not apply to REITs under prior law), but allows for indefinite NOL carryforwards. The CARES Act repealed such 80% limitation for carryforwards to taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021. The CARES Act also allows a five-year carryback for NOLs arising in 2018, 2019, or 2020. The TCJA’s NOL limitations (even as modified by the CARES Act) may result in Lamar Advertising having to make additional distributions in order to comply with REIT distribution requirements or avoid taxes on retained income and gains.

The individual and collective impact of the changes made by the TCJA and the CARES Act on REITs and their security holders are uncertain and may not become evident for some period of time. The effect of any technical corrections with respect to the TCJA and CARES Act could have an adverse effect on us, Lamar Advertising, its subsidiaries, and holders of our notes. It is also possible additional legislation could be enacted in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which may affect the holders of our securities. Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the implications of the TCJA and the CARES Act on their investment in the notes being offered hereby.

Lamar Advertising may potentially be unable to deduct the full amount of its interest expense pursuant to the TCJA and the CARES Act.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, interest deductions for businesses with average annual gross receipts of over $25 million are capped at 30% of the business’ “adjusted taxable income” plus business interest income pursuant to the TCJA. For these purposes, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2022, “adjusted taxable income” is computed without regard to deductions allowable for depreciation, amortization, or depletion. The CARES Act increased the aforementioned 30% limitation to 50% for taxable years beginning in 2019 or 2020 and permitted an entity to elect to use its 2019 adjusted taxable income to calculate the applicable limitation for its 2020 taxable year. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, “adjusted taxable income” is calculated by taking deductions allowable for depreciation, amortization, or depletion into account. This limitation, however, does not apply to an “electing real property trade or business.” As a REIT, Lamar Advertising would generally constitute a real property trade or businesses, and thus would retain the ability to fully deduct interest expenses if it makes such an election. However, an entity making such an election must use a longer depreciation cost recovery period for its property. Lamar Advertising has not made such election to date and has not yet determined whether it will make such election at a later date.
