Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

OUTFRONT Media Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us” or “our”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. Our portfolio includes billboard displays, which are predominantly located in densely populated major metropolitan areas and along high-traffic expressways and major commuting routes. We also have a number of exclusive multi-year contracts to operate advertising displays in municipal transit systems. We have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and over 150 markets across the U.S. and Canada. We currently manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing.

On April 1, 2016, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America (see Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The operating results of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America through April 1, 2016, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain reclassifications of prior year’s data have been made to conform to the current period’s presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016.

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

During the first quarter of 2016, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB’s”) principles-based guidance addressing the recognition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability. We elected to adopt the guidance on a retrospective basis. As a result, $27.2 million of debt issuance costs was recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of our debt liability on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2016, and $4.4 million from Other current assets and $25.3 million from Other assets was reclassified to Long-term debt, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2015. Regarding line-of-credit arrangements, we continue to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes

During the first quarter of 2016, we adopted the FASB’s guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. We elected to adopt the guidance on a prospective basis. This guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies accounting for share-based compensation. The difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting on share-based payment awards (excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies, including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) should be recognized as income tax expense or benefit on the statement of operations. Excess tax benefits should be classified with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. An entity may choose to either continue to accrue forfeitures based on the number of awards expected to vest or can account for forfeitures as they occur. The threshold to qualify for equity classification permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in applicable jurisdictions. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Each individual amendment is to be applied using either a prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective basis, as required. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. We do not expect this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance addressing the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. This guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014 (updated in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016), the FASB issued principles-based guidance addressing revenue recognition issues. The guidance will be applied to all contracts with customers regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. The guidance requires that the amount of revenue a company should recognize reflect the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods and services. This guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Intangible Assets

Our identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of acquired permits and leasehold agreements and franchise agreements which grant us the right to operate out-of-home structures in specified locations and the right to provide advertising space on railroad and municipal transit properties. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, which is the respective life of the agreement that in some cases includes historical experience of renewals.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2021 (the “Term Loan”) was 3.0% per annum as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, a discount of $1.1 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As of June 30, 2016, a discount of $0.6 million on $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of June 30, 2016, a premium of $3.2 million on $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024, remains unamortized. The premium is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revolving Credit Facility

We also have a $425.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2019 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

As of June 30, 2016, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $0.5 million in each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $31.2 million against the Revolving Credit Facility.

Debt Covenants

The credit agreement dated January 31, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that limit the Company’s and our subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Outfront Media Capital LLC’s (“Finance LLC’s”) capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status, subject to certain conditions, and (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers.

The terms of the Credit Agreement require that, as long as any commitments remain outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2016, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.4 to 1.0, as adjusted for the non-cash loss on real estate assets held for sale related to the Disposition and to give pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires that, in connection with the incurrence of certain indebtedness, we maintain a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2016, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.9 to 1.0, as adjusted for the non-cash loss on real estate assets held for sale related to the Disposition and to give pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2016, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Letter of Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2016, we issued letters of credit totaling approximately $60.4 million under our $80.0 million letter of credit facility. The fee under the letter of credit facility was immaterial in each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of June 30, 2016, we had deferred $30.1 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit facility and our senior unsecured notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit facility and our senior unsecured notes.

Fair Value

Under the fair value hierarchy, observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are defined as Level 1; observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability are defined as Level 2; and unobservable inputs for the asset or liability are defined as Level 3. The aggregate fair value of our debt, which is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar liabilities, was approximately $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2016. The fair value of our debt is classified as Level 2.

Note 8. Equity

As of June 30, 2016, 450,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were authorized; 137,946,461 shares were issued and outstanding; and 50,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, were authorized with no shares issued and outstanding.

On July 27, 2016, we announced that our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share on our common stock, payable on September 30, 2016, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2016.

Note 9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

On April 1, 2016, in connection with the Disposition, we recognized $99.9 million in unrealized foreign currency translation losses. These losses were previously included in the carrying value of the outdoor advertising business in Latin America, resulting in a Loss on real estate assets held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2015. (See Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we completed several acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $61.3 million.

Dispositions

The Disposition was completed on April 1, 2016, and in connection with the Disposition, we received $82.0 million in cash plus working capital, which is subject to post-closing adjustments. We recorded a loss on real estate assets held for sale of approximately $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the Disposition, the assets and liabilities of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America had been classified as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2015. The components of Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, which were written off upon completion of the Disposition, were as follows:

Note 13. Income Taxes

We are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and, accordingly, we have not provided for U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distributed to our stockholders. We have elected to treat our subsidiaries that participate in certain non-REIT qualifying activities, and our foreign subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). As such, we have provided for their federal, state and foreign income taxes.

Our effective income tax rate represents a combined annual effective tax rate for federal, state, local and foreign taxes applied to interim operating results.

In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to our REIT status, including the dividends paid deduction, the impact of state and local taxes, and the effect of foreign operations.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of operating lease arrangements and guaranteed minimum franchise payments. These arrangements result from our normal course of business and represent obligations that are payable over several years.

We have long-term operating leases for office space, billboard sites and equipment, which expire at various dates. Certain leases contain renewal and escalation clauses.

We have agreements with municipalities and transit operators which entitle us to operate advertising displays within their transit systems, including on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, transit shelters, street kiosks, and transit platforms. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchisor is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenues, net of agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment.

On July 22, 2015, we entered into an agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) to extend our existing transit contract for providing advertising services throughout the New York City subway system from December 31, 2015, to December 31, 2016, unless earlier terminated by the MTA on or after July 1, 2016. On July 22, 2015, we also entered into an agreement with the MTA to modify our existing bus and commuter rail advertising contract to change the MTA’s right to terminate the contract at any time, to a right to terminate at any time on or after July 1, 2016, and the right to exclude billboards on the MTA’s properties from any termination. The December 31, 2016, expiration date of the bus and commuter rail advertising contract remains unchanged. The MTA has issued a “Request for Proposals” to prospective operators for the subway, bus and commuter rail (Metro-North and Long Island Railroad) concessions, in any combination, each for a ten-year

17

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

contract, with an additional five-year renewal period at the MTA’s option, to commence January 1, 2017. On May 18, 2016, we submitted a response to the MTA. We expect the MTA to make a decision in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Letters of Credit

We have indemnification obligations with respect to letters of credit and surety bonds primarily used as security against non-performance in the normal course of business. The outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds approximated $113.4 million as of June 30, 2016, and were not recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Legal Matters

On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in lawsuits and governmental proceedings and respond to various investigations, inquiries, notices and claims from national, state and local governmental and other authorities (collectively, “litigation”). Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in our opinion, none of our current litigation is expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 16. Segment Information

Effective April 1, 2016, we changed the segments that we use to review operating results and make decisions regarding segment performance and resource allocation. Given the changes in our portfolio resulting from the Disposition and recent acquisitions, we made this change to better align our segments with our business strategy. We currently manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing. International and Sports Marketing do not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, are both included in other. Our new segment reporting therefore includes U.S. Media and other.

The following tables set forth our financial performance by segment. Historical financial information by reportable segment has been recast to reflect the changes in segment reporting with no impact to previously reported consolidated financial statements. Prior to April 1, 2016, our International segment included our advertising businesses in Canada and Latin America (see Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Historical operating results for our advertising business in Latin America are included in other.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 29, 2016, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016, and the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described herein or implied by such forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to (i) “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and “our company” mean OUTFRONT Media Inc., a Maryland corporation, and unless the context requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries, and (ii) the “25 largest markets in the U.S.,” “over 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada” and “Nielsen Designated Market Areas” are based, in whole or in part, on Nielsen Media Research’s Designated Market Area rankings as of January 1, 2016.

Overview

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. We currently manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing. International and Sports Marketing do not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, are both included in other (see Note 16. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Prior to April 1, 2016, our International segment included our advertising businesses in Canada and Latin America.

On April 1, 2016, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America. (See Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) The operating results of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America through April 1, 2016, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, and are included in other in our segment reporting.

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and over 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites such as the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives, from national, brand-building campaigns to hyper-local campaigns that drive customers to the advertiser’s website or retail location “one mile down the road.” 

Using TAB Out of Home Ratings, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, we provide advertisers with the size and demographic composition of the audience that is exposed to individual displays or a complete campaign. As part of our recently launched ON Smart Media platform, we are developing hardware and software solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go. Additionally, our OUTFRONT Mobile Network allows our customers to further leverage location targeting with interactive mobile advertising that uses geofence technology to push mobile ads to consumers within a pre-defined radius around a corresponding billboard display or other designated advertising location.

We believe out-of-home advertising continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are ALWAYS ON™, are always viewable and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective “stand-alone” medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign to reach audiences using multiple forms of media, including television, radio and print. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our

customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, creative design support, print production and post-campaign tracking and analytics, as well as use a real-time mobile operations reporting system that facilitates proof of performance to customers for the majority of our business.

U.S. Media. Our U.S. Media segment generated 25% of its revenues in the New York City metropolitan area in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 26% in the three months ended June 30, 2015, and generated 16% in the Los Angeles metropolitan area in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 14% in the three months ended June 30, 2015. Our U.S. Media segment generated 25% of its revenues in the New York City metropolitan area in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 27% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, and generated 16% in the Los Angeles metropolitan area in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 14% in the six months ended June 30, 2015. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, our U.S. Media segment generated $356.5 million of Revenues and $123.7 million of Operating income before Depreciation, Amortization, Net loss on dispositions, Stock-based compensation, Restructuring charges and Loss on real estate assets held for sale (“Adjusted OIBDA”). In the three months ended June 30, 2015, our U.S. Media segment generated $336.9 million of Revenues and $118.5 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, our U.S. Media segment generated $669.1 million of Revenues and $218.6 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, our U.S. Media segment generated $641.9 million of Revenues and $210.5 million of Adjusted OIBDA. (See the “Segment Results of Operations” section of this MD&A.)

Other (includes International and Sports Marketing). In the three months ended June 30, 2016, Other generated $28.8 million of Revenues and $8.4 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the three months ended June 30, 2015, Other generated $47.8 million of Revenues and $10.0 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, Other generated $64.6 million of Revenues and $10.6 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, Other generated $86.7 million of Revenues and $12.5 million of Adjusted OIBDA.

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control.

Business Environment

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for customers, structures and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional platforms such as, broadcast and cable television, radio, print media and direct mail marketers. Increasing the number of digital billboard displays in our most heavily trafficked locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital billboard displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital billboard displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging messages, provide our customers with the flexibility both to target audiences by time of day and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce production costs. In addition, digital billboard displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display (up to eight per minute). As a result, digital billboard displays generate approximately four times more revenue per display on average than traditional static billboard displays, and digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than traditional static billboard displays.

Our revenues and profits may fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers cut back on spending following the holiday shopping season.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, television and entertainment, which represented 8%, 7% and 7% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, television and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, which represented 9%, 8% and 7% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, television and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, which represented 8%, 8% and 7% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, television and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, which represented 9%, 8% and 7% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively.

Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, we generated approximately 45% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 46% in the three months ended June 30, 2015. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we generated approximately 45% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 46% in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Our transit business requires us to obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain new contracts. In November 2014, we were informed that we were not successful in our bid to renew the New York City phone kiosk contract, which we obtained as part of the acquisition of certain outdoor advertising businesses of Van Wagner Communications, LLC on October 1, 2014, and our operation of these kiosks ceased during the first quarter of 2015. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, we generated revenue of $1.6 million related to these operations. On July 22, 2015, we entered into an agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) to extend our existing transit contract for providing advertising services throughout the New York City subway system from December 31, 2015, to December 31, 2016, unless earlier terminated by the MTA on or after July 1, 2016. On July 22, 2015, we also entered into an agreement with the MTA to modify our existing bus and commuter rail advertising contract to change the MTA’s right to terminate the contract at any time, to a right to terminate at any time on or after July 1, 2016, and the right to exclude billboards on the MTA’s properties from any termination. The December 31, 2016, expiration date of the bus and commuter rail advertising contract remains unchanged. Our transit contract with the MTA represents 57% of our U.S. Media segment transit and other revenues, or 17% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, and represents 58% of our U.S. Media segment transit and other revenues, or 18% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, in the six months ended June 30, 2016. The MTA has issued a “Request for Proposals” to prospective operators for the subway, bus and commuter rail (Metro-North and Long Island Railroad) concessions, in any combination, each for a ten-year contract, with an additional five-year renewal period at the MTA’s option, to commence January 1, 2017. On May 18, 2016, we submitted a response to the MTA. We expect the MTA to make a decision in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.

Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“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.

(a)
Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”). We provide organic revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of non-organic revenue items. Our management believes organic revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since organic revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Organic revenues, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
(b)
See the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Revenues” sections of this MD&A for reconciliations of Operating income to Adjusted OIBDA, Net income to FFO and AFFO, and Revenues to organic revenues.

Table of Contents


Adjusted OIBDA

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as Operating income (loss) before Depreciation, Amortization, Net (gain) loss on dispositions, Stock-based compensation, Restructuring charges and Loss on real estate assets held for sale. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

FFO and AFFO

We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs, the non-cash effect of loss on real estate assets held for sale and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes costs related to restructuring charges, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent and amortization of deferred financing costs, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO, AFFO, and related per weighted average share amounts, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO and, as applicable, related per weighted average share amounts, are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, Operating income (loss), Net income (loss), Revenues and Net income (loss) per common share for basic and diluted earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

FFO in the three months ended June 30, 2016, of $79.2 million increased 10% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due higher net income. AFFO in the three months ended June 30, 2016, was $81.0 million, an increase of 13% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher net income, decreased direct lease acquisition costs and lower maintenance capital expenditures. FFO in the six months ended June 30, 2016, of $127.7 million increased 5% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher net income, increased amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and a loss on real estate assets held for sale. AFFO in the six months ended June 30, 2016, was $130.0 million, an increase of 8% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher net income, lower maintenance capital expenditures, lower restructuring charges and higher stock-based compensation.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit and other revenues are recognized as earned over the contract period. For space provided to advertisers through the use of an advertising agency whose commission is calculated based on a stated percentage of gross advertising spending, our Revenues are reported net of agency commissions.

(a)
Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”).
(b)
Revenues on a constant dollar basis are calculated as reported revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates between periods. We provide constant dollar revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods, which are not under management’s direct control. Our management believes constant dollar revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since constant dollar revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Constant dollar revenues, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Total revenues increased $0.6 million and organic revenues increased $15.6 million, or 4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. In constant dollars, total revenues increased $1.6 million and organic revenues increased $15.6 million, or 4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. Total revenues increased $5.1 million, or 1%, and organic revenues increased $25.8 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. In constant dollars, revenues increased $10.3 million, or 1%, and organic revenues increased $25.8 million, or 4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period.

Non-organic revenues primarily reflects acquisitions and dispositions, and the discontinuation of a business line in the first quarter of 2015.

Total billboard revenues decreased $6.5 million, or 2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, principally driven by the impact of the Disposition, lower performance in Canada and foreign currency exchange losses of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays. In constant dollars, billboard revenues decreased $5.7 million, or 2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. Total billboard revenues decreased $3.0 million, or 1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, principally driven by an the impact of the Disposition, lower performance in Canada, the impact of the disposition of billboard advertising structures in the second quarter of 2015 and foreign currency exchange losses of $4.5 million, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays. In constant dollars, billboard revenues increased $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period.

The increases in organic billboard revenues in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year periods, are due to increases in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays, partially offset by lower performance in Canada.

Total transit and other revenues increased $7.1 million, or 7%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, driven by stronger market conditions in local and national advertising, the impact of an acquisition and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period. Total transit and other revenues increased $8.1 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, driven by stronger market conditions in local and national advertising, the impact of an acquisition, the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period and lower advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2016 from major sports entertainment events.

The increases in organic transit and other revenues in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year periods, are due to stronger market conditions in local and national advertising.

Billboard property lease expenses represented 33% of billboard revenues in each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Transit franchise expenses represented 62% of transit revenues in each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses increased by $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. Billboard property lease expenses represented 35% of billboard revenues in each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Transit franchise expenses represented 63% of transit revenues in each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses increased by $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease in billboard property lease costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, was primarily due to the impact of the Disposition (decreases of $4.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year periods), partially offset by increases in our U.S. Media segment. The increase in transit franchise expenses in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, was primarily due to the increase in transit revenues, partially offset by the impact of the

Table of Contents

Disposition (decreases of $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, and $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year periods).

Posting, maintenance and other expenses decreased $5.3 million, or 9%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. Posting, maintenance and other expenses decreased $5.2 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. The decreases in posting, maintenance and other expenses in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior year periods, were primarily due to the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, and $6.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses represented 17% of Revenues in each the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. SG&A expenses increased $1.6 million, or 3%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to increased sales and other compensation-related expenses and higher professional fees, partially offset by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $3.9 million). SG&A expenses represented 18% of Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 17% in the same prior-year period. SG&A expenses increased $5.2 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to increased sales and other compensation-related expenses, higher professional fees and higher legal expenses of $0.8 million, the majority of which are expected to be non-recurring, partially offset by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year periods).

Depreciation

Depreciation increased $0.5 million, or 2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher depreciation associated with the increased number of digital billboards. Depreciation increased $0.9 million, or 2%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher depreciation associated with the increased number of digital billboards.

Amortization

Amortization increased $1.2 million, or 4% in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, principally driven by increased direct lease acquisition costs of $10.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $9.2 million in the same prior-year period. Capitalized direct lease acquisition costs were $9.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016, and $9.2 million in the same prior-year period. Amortization increased $1.7 million, or 3% in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, principally driven by increased direct lease acquisition costs of $19.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $16.7 million in the same prior-year period. Capitalized direct lease acquisition costs were $18.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, and $16.9 million in the same prior-year period.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $28.7 million (including $1.8 million of deferred financing costs) in the three months ended June 30, 2016, and $28.9 million (including $1.4 million of deferred financing costs) in the same prior-year period. Interest expense, net, was $57.3 million (including $3.2 million of deferred financing costs) in the six months ended June 30, 2016, and $56.7 million (including $2.9 million of deferred financing costs) in the same prior-year period. (See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A.)

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased $1.1 million, or 24%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. The provision for income taxes decreased $1.0 million, or 32%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period.

Net Income

In the three months ended June 30, 2016, Net income was $28.5 million, an increase of $6.3 million compared to the same prior-year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, Net income was $26.2 million, an increase of $2.9 million compared to the same prior-year period.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance for segment reporting. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Note 16. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Effective April 1, 2016, we changed the segments that we use to review operating results and make decisions regarding segment performance and resource allocation. Given the changes in our portfolio resulting from the Disposition and recent acquisitions, we made this change to better align our segments with our business strategy. We currently manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing. International and Sports Marketing do not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, are both included in other. Our new segment reporting therefore includes U.S. Media and other.

The following table presents our Revenues, Adjusted OIBDA, Operating income (loss) and Depreciation and Amortization by segment, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Historical financial information by reportable segment has been recast to reflect the changes in segment reporting with no impact to previously reported consolidated financial statements. Prior to April 1, 2016, our International segment included our advertising businesses in Canada and Latin America (see Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Historical operating results for our advertising business in Latin America are included in other.

Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, and revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate (“non-organic revenues”).

Total U.S. Media segment revenues increased $19.6 million, or 6%, and U.S. Media segment organic revenues increased $16.5 million, or 5%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. Total U.S. Media segment revenues increased $27.2 million, or 4%, and U.S. Media segment organic revenues increased $25.5 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. Non-organic revenues primarily reflect acquisitions and dispositions, and revenues associated with a business line we no longer operate.

Total U.S. Media segment revenue growth in the three months ended June 30, 2016, reflects strong local revenues, an increase in average revenue per display (yield) in billboards and growth attributable to the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, we generated approximately 45% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 46% in the three months ended June

30, 2015. Total U.S. Media segment revenue growth in the six months ended June 30, 2016, reflects strong local revenues, an increase in average revenue per display (yield) in billboards and growth attributable to the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays, partially offset by the impact of the disposition of billboard advertising structures in the second quarter of 2015, the loss of the New York City phone kiosk contract in the first quarter of 2015 and lower advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2016 from major sports entertainment events. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we generated approximately 45% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 46% in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards increased $11.8 million, or 5%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, reflecting an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays.

Organic revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards increased $10.5 million, or 4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays. Organic revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards increased $18.5 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays.

Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $7.8 million, or 9%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, reflecting stronger market conditions in local and national advertising, the impact of an acquisition and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period. Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $8.2 million, or 5%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, reflecting stronger market conditions in local and national advertising, the impact of an acquisition, the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period and lower advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2016 from major sports entertainment events.

Organic transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $7.0 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. These increases were driven by increased advertiser demand for transit displays as reflected by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the net effect of won and lost franchises.

U.S. Media segment operating and SG&A expenses increased $8.7 million and $5.7 million, or 5% and 14%, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to increased transit franchise expenses resulting from an increase in transit revenues, higher billboard property lease expenses, increased sales and other compensation-related expenses and increased strategic business development expenses. U.S. Media segment operating and SG&A expenses increased $11.7 million and $7.4 million, or 3% and 9%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to increased transit franchise expenses resulting from an increase in transit revenues, higher billboard property lease expenses, increased sales and other compensation-related expenses and increased strategic business development expenses.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, franchise rights, acquisitions, capital expenditures, interest and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire new businesses, assets or digital technology. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions could be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2016, we had total indebtedness of $2.2 billion.

On July 27, 2016, we announced that our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share on our common stock, payable on September 30, 2016, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2016.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2021 (the “Term Loan”) was 3.0% per annum as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, a discount of $1.1 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the first six months of 2016, we made aggregate discretionary payments of $40.0 million on the Term Loan.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As of June 30, 2016, a discount of $0.6 million on $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of June 30, 2016, a premium of $3.2 million on $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024, remains unamortized. The premium is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $425.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2019 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

As of June 30, 2016, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $0.5 million in each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $31.2 million against the Revolving Credit Facility.

Debt Covenants

The credit agreement dated January 31, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that limit the Company’s and our subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Outfront Media Capital LLC’s (“Finance LLC’s”) capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status, subject to certain conditions, and (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers.

The terms of the Credit Agreement require that, as long as any commitments remain outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2016, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.4 to 1.0, as adjusted for the non-cash loss on real estate assets held for sale related to the Disposition and to give pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires that, in connection with the incurrence of certain indebtedness, we maintain a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2016, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.9 to 1.0, as adjusted for the non-cash loss on real estate assets held for sale related to the Disposition and to give pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2016, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Letter of Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2016, we issued letters of credit totaling approximately $60.4 million under our $80.0 million letter of credit facility. The fee under the letter of credit facility was immaterial in each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of June 30, 2016, we had deferred $30.1 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit facility and our senior unsecured notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit facility and our senior unsecured notes.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $30.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, principally as a result of lower upfront transit franchise payments in the first quarter of 2016 and higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items.

Cash used for investing activities decreased $25.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred $30.0 million in capital expenditures, completed several acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $61.3 million and received $87.9 million in net proceeds from dispositions, primarily related to the Disposition. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred $27.7 million in capital

Capital expenditures increased $2.3 million, or 8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period, driven by installation of the most current LED lighting technology to improve the quality and extend the life of our static billboards and an increase in digital billboard display spending, partially offset by decreased expenditures to renovate certain office facilities.

For the full year of 2016, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $65.0 million to $70.0 million, which will be used primarily for billboard maintenance, growth in digital billboard displays, installation of the most current LED lighting technology to improve the quality and extend the life of our static billboards, and to renovate certain office facilities.

Cash used for financing activities increased $138.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same prior-year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we made discretionary payments totaling $40.0 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received proceeds from debt issuances of $103.8 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have indemnification obligations with respect to letters of credit and surety bonds primarily used as security against non-performance in the normal course of business. The outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds approximated $113.4 million as of June 30, 2016, and were not recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of operating lease arrangements and guaranteed minimum franchise payments. (See Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

Accounting Standards

See Note 2. New Accounting Standards to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about adoption of new accounting standards and recent accounting pronouncements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this MD&A and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “likely,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “predicts,” “estimates,” “forecast” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions related to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations.

Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and may not be able to be realized. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

Declines in advertising and general economic conditions;
Competition;
Government regulation;

We may face other tax liabilities even if we remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT;
Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to liquidate investments or forgo otherwise attractive opportunities;
Our ability to contribute certain contracts to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”);
Our planned use of TRSs may cause us to fail to remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT;
REIT ownership limits;
Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively;
Failure to meet the REIT income tests as a result of receiving non-qualifying income;
Even if we remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT, and we sell assets, we could be subject to tax on any unrealized net built-in gains in the assets held before electing to be treated as a REIT;
The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may deem the gains from sales of our outdoor advertising assets to be subject to a 100% prohibited transaction tax;
Establishing an operating partnership as part of our REIT structure; and
Our limited operating history as a REIT.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. All forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q apply as of the date of this report or as of the date they were made and, except as required by applicable law, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk related to commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, and to a limited extent, interest rates and credit risks.

Commodity Price Risk

We incur various operating costs that are subject to price risk caused by volatility in underlying commodity values. Commodity

46

Table of Contents

price risk is present in electricity costs associated with powering our digital billboard displays and lighting our traditional static billboard displays at night.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk. However, we do enter into contracts with commodity providers to limit our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. For the year ended December 31, 2015, such contracts accounted for 3.2% of our total utility costs. As of June 30, 2016, we had an active electricity purchase agreement with fixed contract rates for locations throughout Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas, which expire at various dates in July 2018.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign currency translation risk is the risk that exchange rate gains or losses arise from translating foreign entities’ statements of earnings and statements of financial position from functional currency to our reporting currency (the U.S. Dollar) for consolidation purposes. Any gain or loss on translation is included within comprehensive income and Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is their respective local currency. As of June 30, 2016, we have $5.8 million of unrecognized foreign currency translation losses included within Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Substantially all of our transactions at our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in their local functional currency, thereby reducing our risk of foreign currency transaction gains or losses.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency risk, although we may do so in the future.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we have variable-rate debt outstanding including under our Senior Credit Facilities. As of June 30, 2016, we had a $710.0 million variable-rate Term Loan due 2021 outstanding, which has an interest rate of 3.0% per year. An increase or decrease of 1/8% in our interest rate on the Term Loan will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $0.9 million. We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risk, although we may do so in the future.

Credit Risk

In the opinion of our management, credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers and advertising agencies utilized. We perform credit evaluations on our customers and agencies and believe that the allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate. We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate credit risk.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in lawsuits and governmental proceedings and respond to various investigations, inquiries, notices and claims from national, state and local governmental and other authorities (collectively, “litigation”). Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in our opinion, none of our current litigation is expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have disclosed the risk factors affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed.
