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 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. and Canada. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets across the U.S. and Canada. We 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 three months ended March 31, 2016.

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 statement 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, 2016, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2017.

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

Stock Compensation

During the first quarter of 2017, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB’s”) guidance that simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as the classification in the statement of cash flows. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, which we adopted on a modified retrospective basis and resulted in an increase of $0.5 million to Additional paid in capital, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million to Distribution in excess of earnings on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Equity as of September 30, 2017.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Business Combinations

During the first quarter of 2017, we adopted the FASB’s guidance clarifying the definition of a business for acquisitions and dispositions. The guidance is being applied on a prospective basis. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

During the third quarter of 2017, we adopted the FASB’s guidance clarifying presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is being applied on a retrospective basis. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements

Goodwill

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. 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 lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating 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. Lessors will 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.

As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately 21,600 lease agreements in the U.S. and approximately 3,200 lease agreements in Canada, the majority of which will be classified as operating leases under the new guidance. We are currently evaluating our lease contracts and planning for the implementation of this standard. This standard will require us to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for the present value of minimum lease payments for operating leases with a term greater than 12 months and will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our billboard lease revenues will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over their respective lease terms.

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 adopted on a full retrospective or modified retrospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Our billboard lease revenues will be recognized under the new lease standard. The revenue recognition guidance will be primarily applicable to our multi-year transit advertising contracts with municipalities in the U.S. and Canada, and marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

All of our identifiable intangible assets, except goodwill, are subject to amortization. Amortization expense was $25.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, $28.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, $74.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $87.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which includes the amortization of direct lease acquisition costs of $10.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, $9.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, $29.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $28.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Direct lease acquisition costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related customer lease term, which generally ranges from four weeks to one year.

Note 5. Asset Retirement Obligation

The following table sets forth the change in the asset retirement obligations associated with our advertising structures located on leased properties. The obligation is calculated based on the assumption that all of our advertising structures will be removed within the next 50 years. The estimated annual costs to dismantle and remove the structures upon the termination or non-renewal of our leases are consistent with our historical experience.

On March 16, 2017, the Company, along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (“Finance LLC”) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (together with Finance LLC, the “Borrowers”), and other guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement and its related security agreement, each dated January 31, 2014 (together, and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment provides for (i) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrower’s existing revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) from January 31, 2019, to March 16, 2022, (ii) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrower’s existing term loan (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”) from January 31, 2021, to March 16, 2024, (iii) an increase to the Revolving Credit Facility by $5.0 million to $430.0 million, (iv) the incurrence of a $10.0 million incremental term loan primarily to cover transaction fees and expenses, which increases the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to $670.0 million, and (v) revisions to certain provisions of the Credit Agreement to, among other things, lower the interest rate floor for all loans to 0.0% and update covenants for greater operational and financial flexibility to the Company (including incurrence of additional indebtedness), as well as include other ministerial changes to the Credit Agreement. The remaining terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, are substantially the same as the terms under the existing Credit Agreement, including with respect to events of default and loan acceleration.

On June 30, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a three-year $100.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”) with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as a committed purchaser, group agent and administrative agent (“BTMU”).

Term Loan

The interest rate on the Term Loan was 3.5% per annum as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, a discount of $2.3 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2017, 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 $0.4 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $1.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $1.7 million against the Revolving Credit Facility.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a three-year, $100.0 million AR Facility. In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will sell and/or contribute its existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “SPV”). The SPV will transfer an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPV for a fee. The SPV has granted the Purchasers a security interest in all of its assets, which primarily consist of the accounts receivable relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiaries, in order to secure its obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as originator and servicer, of its obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither Outfront Media LLC nor the SPV guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. In addition, the SPV is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPV’s assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPV’s assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPV may be remitted to the Company.

The AR Facility 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, (ii) our Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense related to pledged accounts receivable (a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) 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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of September 30, 2017, there were $73.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.2%, which were primarily used to repay previously outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was immaterial for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As of September 30, 2017, a discount of $0.5 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 September 30, 2017, a premium of $2.7 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.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR 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, 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 third party 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 September 30, 2017, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.4 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to an acquisition, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires that, in connection with the incurrence of certain indebtedness, we satisfy 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 September 30, 2017, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.8 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to an acquisition, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2017, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $100.3 million under our aggregate $111.8 million letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities were immaterial in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of September 30, 2017, we had deferred $30.1 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, the AR 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 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 September 30, 2017, and $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2016. The fair value of our debt as of both September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, is classified as Level 2.

Note 8. Equity

On June 13, 2017, certain subsidiaries of OUTFRONT Media Inc. acquired the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of All Vision LLC (“All Vision”), which hold substantially all of All Vision’s existing outdoor advertising assets in Canada, and effectuated an amalgamation of All Vision’s Canadian business with our Canadian business (the “Transaction”) (see Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions). In connection with the Transaction, the Company issued 1,953,407 shares of Class A equity interests of a subsidiary of the Company that controls its Canadian business (“Outfront Canada”).

Table of Contents

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Class A equity interests are entitled to receive priority cash distributions from Outfront Canada at the same time and in the same per share amount as the dividends paid on shares of the Company’s common stock. The Class A equity interests may be redeemed by the holders in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to anti-dilution adjustments) or, at the Company’s option, cash equal to the then fair market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock commencing (i) one year after closing, with respect to 55% of the Class A equity interests, and (ii) 18 months after closing, with respect to the remaining 45% of the Class A equity interests. In connection with the Transaction, the Company has agreed to limitations on its ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the assets acquired from All Vision for a period of five years, unless it pays holders of the Class A equity interests in Outfront Canada an amount intended to approximate their resulting tax liability. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we made distributions of $0.7 million to holders of the Class A equity interests, which are recorded in Dividends on our Consolidated Statements of Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of September 30, 2017, 450,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were authorized; 138,636,305 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 October 25, 2017, we announced that our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share on our common stock, payable on December 29, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2017.

Note 9. Restructuring Charges

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.6 million, of which $1.2 million was recorded in Other for severance charges primarily associated with the Transaction and $0.4 million was recorded in our U.S. Media segment for severance charges associated with the reorganization of our sales management functions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $6.3 million, of which $4.0 million was recorded in Other for severance charges primarily associated with the Transaction and $2.3 million was recorded in our U.S. Media segment for severance charges associated with the reorganization of our sales management and administrative functions. For nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.4 million in our U.S. Media segment for severance charges associated with the reorganization of our sales management and administrative functions. As of September 30, 2017, $5.0 million in restructuring reserves remain outstanding and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Note 10. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

In connection with the Transaction, the Company paid approximately $94.4 million for the assets, comprised of $50.0 million in cash and $44.4 million, or 1,953,407 shares, of Class A equity interests of Outfront Canada, subject to post-closing adjustments (upward or downward) for closing date working capital and indebtedness, and for the achievement of certain operating income before depreciation and amortization targets relating to All Vision’s assets in 2017 and 2018. The issued Class A equity interests of Outfront Canada are redeemable non-controlling interests and are included in Non-controlling interests on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position based on actual foreign currency exchange rates on the closing date of the Transaction compared to the negotiated foreign currency exchange rate used in the valuation described above.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of approximately $94.4 million is based on management’s estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of the Transaction, which was $50.3 million of identified intangible assets, $44.1 million of goodwill, $14.6 million of deferred tax liabilities and $14.6 million of other assets and liabilities (primarily property and equipment). These preliminary estimates may be revised in future periods. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

Including the Transaction, we completed several acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $107.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $64.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Dispositions

On April 1, 2016, we completed the Disposition and received $82.0 million in cash plus working capital, which was subject to post-closing adjustments.

Asset Swap

On July 1, 2017, we completed the acquisition of digital billboards in the Boston, Massachusetts, DMA in exchange for static billboards in four non-metropolitan market clusters, which resulted in a non-cash gain of $13.2 million.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we contributed $1.6 million to our pension plans. In 2017, we expect to contribute approximately $2.1 million to our pension plans.

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 distribute 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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.

(See Note 8. Equity.)

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Contractual Obligations

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.

We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. Under most of these agreements, the school is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenue, net of agency commissions, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment.

On September 27, 2017, the board of directors of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) awarded the Company the transit advertising and communications concession agreement for subway, commuter rail (Metro-North and Long Island Railroad) and buses for a 10-year term, with an additional 5-year extension at our option, subject to the execution of a definitive agreement. Under the agreement, we will be obligated to deploy over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018, and the MTA will be entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens

throughout the transit system. Our currently estimated deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these deployment costs will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We expect to utilize third party financing to fund deployment costs, and will increase our letters of credit for the benefit of the MTA from approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated.

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 $129.4 million as of September 30, 2017, 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

As of April 1, 2016, we 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.

The following tables set forth our financial performance by segment. Historical financial information by reportable segment has been recast to reflect the current period’s presentation. On April 1, 2016, we completed the Disposition. Historical operating results for our advertising business in Latin America are included in Other.

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, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2017, 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, 2016, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2017, 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) “OUTFRONT Media,” “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, 2017.

Overview

OUTFRONT Media 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. 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 three months ended March 31, 2016, 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. and Canada. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 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 Geopath, 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 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, print, online, mobile and social media advertising platforms. 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 of a real-time mobile operations reporting system that facilitates proof of performance to customers for substantially all of our business.

U.S. Media. Our U.S. Media segment generated 23% of its revenues in the New York City metropolitan area in the three months ended September 30, 2017, 25% in the three months ended September 30, 2016, 23% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 25% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and generated 16% in the Los Angeles metropolitan area in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. In the three months ended September 30, 2017, our U.S. Media segment generated $363.0 million of Revenues and $129.2 million of Operating income before Depreciation, Amortization, Net gain on dispositions, Stock-based compensation, Restructuring charges and Loss on real estate assets held for sale (“Adjusted OIBDA”). In the three months ended September 30, 2016, our U.S. Media segment generated $356.7 million of Revenues and $129.3 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our U.S. Media segment generated $1,037.2 million of Revenues and $349.9 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our U.S. Media segment generated $1,025.8 million of Revenues and $347.9 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 September 30, 2017, Other generated $29.4 million of Revenues and $1.9 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the three months ended September 30, 2016, Other generated $26.1 million of Revenues and $2.2 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Other generated $82.0 million of Revenues and $4.8 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Other generated $90.7 million of Revenues and $12.8 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 displays in our most heavily trafficked locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital 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 displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four times more revenue per display on average than traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to three times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than traditional static billboard displays. We have commenced a large scale deployment of state-of-the-art digital transit displays in 2016. Once the digital transit displays have been deployed at scale, we expect that revenue generated on digital transit displays will be a multiple of the revenue generated on comparable static transit displays. We intend to incur significant deployment costs and capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio. We have built or converted 16 new digital billboard displays in the United States and 6 outside of the United States during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Excluding displays under our multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, the following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

(a)	All displays, including those reserved for transit agency use, and excluding those under our multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions. Our number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements, the net effect of new and lost billboards, and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period.

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 each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our largest categories of advertisers were television, retail and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, each of which represented approximately 10%, 7% and 7% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our largest categories of advertisers were television, retail and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, each of which represented approximately 8%, 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 September 30, 2017, we generated approximately 45% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 47% in the same prior-year period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated approximately 43% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 46% in the same prior-year period.

Our transit businesses require 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 or renew contracts.

Our current transit contract with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) represents 50% of our U.S. Media segment transit and other revenues, or 16% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, in the three months ended September 30, 2017, and represents 53% of our U.S. Media segment transit and other revenues, or 16% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. On September 27, 2017, the board of directors of the MTA awarded the Company the transit advertising and communications concession agreement for subway, commuter rail (Metro-North and Long Island Railroad) and buses for a 10-year term, with an additional 5-year extension at our option, subject to the execution of a definitive agreement. Under the agreement, we will be obligated to deploy over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018, and the MTA will be entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Due to the change in the MTA’s revenue share percentage under the new agreement, we expect our transit franchise operating expenses to decline in year one of the new agreement as compared to prior historical periods, and gradually increase in subsequent years if our revenues increase over an annual base revenue amount. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system. Our currently estimated deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these deployment costs will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the deployment costs, the costs will not be recovered, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We expect to utilize third party financing to fund deployment costs, and will increase our letters of credit for the benefit of the MTA from approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated.

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, 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.

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, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent and amortization of deferred financing costs, and the non-cash portion of income taxes, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for

Table of Contents

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 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.

Table of Contents

FFO in the three months ended September 30, 2017, of $78.2 million decreased 5% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization, partially offset by higher net income. AFFO in the three months ended September 30, 2017, was $78.2 million, a decrease of 7% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher income taxes, higher cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs and higher maintenance capital expenditures. FFO in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, of $201.8 million decreased 4% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to lower depreciation of billboard advertising structures and lower amortization of real estate-related intangible assets, partially offset by higher operating income. AFFOin the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was $194.8 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher income taxes, higher cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs and higher maintenance capital expenditures.

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, 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 $9.6 million, or 3%, and organic revenues increased $5.6 million, or 1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period. In constant dollars, revenues increased $8.9 million, or 2%, and organic revenues increased $5.6 million, or 1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period. Total revenues increased slightly by $2.7 million and organic revenues increased $8.7 million, or 1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period. In constant dollars, revenues increased slightly by $2.4 million and organic revenues increased $8.7 million, or 1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period.

Non-organic revenues primarily reflects acquisitions and dispositions.

Total billboard revenues increased $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period, principally driven by the impact of the Transaction (as defined in the “Segments Results of Operations: Other” section of this MD&A), conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays and higher proceeds from condemnations, partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period and the impact of hurricanes in the Florida and Texas markets.

Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, were $31.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $28.9 million in the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher professional fees incurred in connection with the Transaction in the second quarter of 2017 and costs incurred in connection with the Amendment (as defined in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A) in the first quarter of 2017, and increased compensation-related 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. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically 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. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts, as well as our marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges and universities, require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid at the beginning of the year.

Table of Contents

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, capital expenditures, interest and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other secured credit facilities that we may establish.

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 and commitments related to operating leases and franchise agreements, including any related deployment costs. 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 the Revolving Credit Facility, the AR Facility or other secured credit facilities that we may establish.

Our decline in working capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is due to short-term borrowings primarily used to finance the Transaction and due to the change in timing of transit franchise payments to the MTA under the short-term extension of our existing contracts for transit advertising services.

Under the MTA agreement, we will be obligated to deploy over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018, and the MTA will be entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Due to the change in the MTA’s revenue share percentage under the new agreement, we expect our transit franchise operating expenses to decline in year one of the new agreement as compared to prior historical periods, and gradually increase in subsequent years if our revenues increase over an annual base revenue amount. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system. Our currently estimated deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these deployment costs will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the deployment costs, the costs will not be recovered, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We expect to utilize third party financing to fund deployment costs, and will increase our letters of credit for the benefit of the MTA from approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated.

As of September 30, 2017, we had total indebtedness of $2.2 billion.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $18.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period, principally as a result of lower net income, as adjusted for non-cash items.

Cash used for investing activities increased $99.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $58.6 million in capital expenditures and completed several acquisitions for total cash payments of approximately $62.8 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $45.6 million in capital expenditures, completed several acquisitions for total cash payments of approximately $64.7 million and received $90.4 million in proceeds from dispositions.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.



	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				%
(in millions, except percentages)	2017		2016		Change
Growth	$	41.2	$	33.1	24	%
Maintenance	17.4		12.5		39
Total capital expenditures	$	58.6	$	45.6	29

Capital expenditures increased $13.0 million, or 29%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period, driven by an increase in digital billboard display spending.

For the full year of 2017, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $75.0 million, which will be used primarily for maintenance, growth in digital 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. This estimate does not include deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA agreement, which we anticipate will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as applicable.

Cash used for financing activities decreased $122.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same prior-year period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received proceeds from an incremental borrowing on our Term Loan of $8.3 million, drew net borrowings of $73.0 million on our short-term borrowing facilities, incurred additional deferred financing costs of $7.7 million and paid cash dividends of $151.0 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we made discretionary payments totaling $60.0 million on the Term Loan and paid cash dividends of $141.7 million.

Cash paid for income taxes was $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due primarily to higher income from taxable REIT subsidiaries in 2017 and the impact of a reimbursement of historical tax payments received in 2016 from our former parent company, CBS Corporation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of operating lease arrangements and guaranteed minimum annual 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.

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.

Table of Contents

Commodity Price Risk

We incur various operating costs that are subject to price risk caused by volatility in underlying commodity values. Commodity 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, 2016, such contracts accounted for 8.9% of our total utility costs. As of September 30, 2017, we had active electricity purchase agreements 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 September 30, 2017, we have $4.1 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 the Senior Credit Facilities and the AR Facility.

As of September 30, 2017, we had a $670.0 million variable-rate Term Loan due 2024 outstanding, which has an interest rate of 3.5% per year. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in our interest rate on the Term Loan will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $1.7 million.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $73.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our variable rate AR Facility, at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.2%. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in our interest rate on the AR Facility will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $0.2 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)

Table of Contents

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.

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, 2016, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2017. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed, other than disclosed below.

Implementing our digital display platform, and the deployment of digital advertising displays to our customers, may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits may not be fully realized.

The success of the digital display platform we are currently developing and the deployment of digital advertising displays to our customers, such as the MTA, and the realization of any anticipated benefits, will depend, in part, on our ability to finalize and demonstrate the value-added capabilities of our digital display platform and our ability to deliver and install digital displays to our customers in satisfaction of our contractual obligations, including delivery and installation to scale and within complex transit infrastructures. If we fail to satisfy our contractual obligations and/or the digital display platform and/or the digital advertising displays that we provide to our customers do not meet our customers’ expectations or are found to be defective, or if we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits of these products due to reduced market demand for these products or digital advertising generally, then we may incur financial liability and harm our reputation, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Implementing our digital display platform and deploying digital advertising displays to our customers in satisfaction of our contractual obligations requires the Company to incur significant costs, which the Company may not be able to recover from its customers. See “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Any costs currently anticipated may significantly increase if we incur cost overruns due to the increased costs of digital displays, materials and labor, delays in construction caused by us, our subcontractors and/or our customers, and insurance, bonding and litigation expenses or other factors beyond our control, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including cash flow timing and negative publicity. We currently expect to utilize third-party financing to fund a portion of these costs, which could subject the Company to additional costs, liabilities and risks. See “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—Despite our substantial indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Further, we rely on third parties to manufacture and transport digital displays, and if we are not able to engage third parties on reasonable pricing or other terms, due to the insufficient capacity of a particular manufacturer, market-wide supply shortages, logistics disruptions or otherwise, or if the third parties that we engage fail to meet their obligations to us, we may be unable to deploy digital advertising displays to our customers in a timely manner or at all, and may fail to satisfy our contractual obligations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
