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 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 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.

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, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020.

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, including the impact of extraordinary events such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 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 materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related preventative measures taken to help curb the spread, have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on the global economy and our business. In order to preserve financial flexibility and increase liquidity in light of the current uncertainty in the global economy and our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we undertook the following actions, among others: borrowed nearly all of the remaining available amount under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), which was repaid in full as of June 30, 2020, using the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (as defined below) and cash on hand, and amended the Credit Agreement (as defined below) to modify the calculation of the Company’s financial maintenance covenant ratio (see Note 9. Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements), completed the Private Placement (as defined below) (see Note 10. Equity to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and reduced capital expenditures and expenses through cost savings initiatives. Given the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, which may be material.

Note 2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB’s”) guidance for evaluating and determining when a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) includes a software license. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted the FASB’s guidance which requires a reporting entity to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, and present assets held at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities at the amount expected to be collected. The application of this guidance was limited to our receivables that are not related to rental income, which is accounted for under the lease accounting standard. The provision for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical bad debt experience, the aging of accounts receivable, industry trends and economic indicators, recent payment history for specific customers and expected future trends.

We have recorded a Provision for doubtful accounts of $3.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, and $11.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, for all receivables, which includes an estimate of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on future collections.

Recent Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. We do not expect this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Restricted Cash

We have an escrow agreement in connection with one of our transit franchise contracts, which requires us to deposit funds into an escrow account to fund capital expenditures over the term of the transit franchise contract. As of June 30, 2020, we have $1.8 million of restricted cash deposited in the escrow account.

Note 5. Long-Lived Assets

The assumptions and estimates used in our analyses below require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Given the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the

measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, actual results may differ materially from these assumptions and estimates, which may result in impairment charges of our long-lived assets in the future. 

Goodwill

In the first quarter of 2020, we performed a qualitative assessment to determine if there has been a triggering event and impairment of goodwill as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the analysis performed, we determined that it was not “more likely than not” that the carrying value of any of our reporting units exceeded their fair value and no further evaluation of goodwill was necessary. We did not identify a triggering event in the second quarter of 2020.

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.

Our identifiable intangible assets consist of the following:

Other intangible assets47.1  (40.1) 7.0  
Total intangible assets$1,697.8  $(1,146.9) $550.9  

All of our intangible assets, except goodwill, are subject to amortization. Amortization expense was $21.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, and $27.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, which includes the amortization of direct lease acquisition costs of $6.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, and $13.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Amortization expense was $48.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $52.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, which includes the amortization of direct lease acquisition costs of $17.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $23.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. 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.

New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) Agreement

In the first quarter of 2020, we identified the COVID-19 pandemic as a trigger for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and related intangible assets. After updating our projections to reflect related declines in revenues in 2020 and delays in our anticipated deployment schedule as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other things, no impairment was identified. In the second quarter of 2020, we updated our projections in connection with the amendment to the MTA agreement (see Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and did not identify a triggering event for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. It’s unlikely we will recoup any costs in 2020, and as of June 30, 2020, we have reclassified almost all amounts previously included in current Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs to non-current Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Note 7. 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.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2026 (the “Term Loan”) was 1.9% per annum as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, 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

We also have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” together with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

As of June 30, 2020, 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 $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $1.6 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2020, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $71.0 million under our aggregate $78.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities were immaterial in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities

As of June 30, 2020, we have a revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which terminates in June 2022, unless further extended, and a 364-day uncommitted structured repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Facility” and together with the AR Facility, the “AR Securitization Facilities”), which now terminates in June 2021, as described below, unless further extended.

On June 18, 2020, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) entered into amendments to certain of the agreements governing the Repurchase Facility, pursuant to which the Company, among other things, (i) decreased the maximum borrowing capacity under the Repurchase Facility from $90.0 million to $80.0 million; and (ii) extended the term of the Repurchase Facility so that it will now terminate on June 29, 2021, unless further extended.

In connection with the AR Securitization Facilities, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) (the “Originators”), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the “QRS SPV”) or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s TRS accounts receivable assets (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV, the “SPVs”). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs’ assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs’ 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 SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.

In connection with the Repurchase Facility, the Originators may borrow funds collateralized by subordinated notes (the “Subordinated Notes”) issued by the SPVs in favor of their respective Originators and representing a portion of the outstanding balance of the accounts receivable assets sold by the Originators to the SPVs under the AR Facility. The Subordinated Notes will be transferred to MUFG, as repurchase buyer, on an uncommitted basis, and subject to repurchase by the applicable Originators on termination of the Repurchase Facility. The Originators have granted MUFG a security interest in the Subordinated Notes to secure their obligations under the agreements governing the Repurchase Facility, and the Company has agreed to guarantee the Originators’ obligations under the agreements governing the Repurchase Facility.

As of June 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility and $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Repurchase Facility, at a borrowing rate of approximately 1.9%. As of June 30, 2020, there was no borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility based on approximately $237.9 million of accounts receivable used as collateral for the AR Securitization Facilities and a related voluntary temporary suspension of the AR Facility, and there was no borrowing capacity remaining under the Repurchase Facility, in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Securitization Facilities. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was immaterial for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 15, 2020, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (“Finance LLC”) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (“Finance Corp” and, together with Finance LLC, the “Borrowers”), issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) in a private placement. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities. Interest on the Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2020. On or after June 15, 2022, the Borrowers may redeem at any time, or from time to time, some or all of the Notes. Prior to such date, the Borrowers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate principal amount with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding after the redemption.

In May 2020, we used the net proceeds from the Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay $400.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering of the Notes.

As of June 30, 2020, a premium of $1.5 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

Our credit agreement, dated as of January 31, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Securitization Facilities, 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 restrict the Company’s and its 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 exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2020, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 6.7 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Securitization Facilities) require that 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 4.5 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2020, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.0 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

On April 15, 2020, the Company, along with the Borrowers, and other guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment provides that for the period from April 15, 2020 through September 30, 2021 (i) the Company’s Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated by substituting the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA for each of the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, included in any last twelve month compliance testing period, with the Company’s historical Consolidated EBITDA for each of the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively; and (ii) the Company will not make any Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) without the consent of the applicable lenders under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions such as payments necessary to maintain the Company’s REIT status, including any payments on any class of the Company’s capital stock that is required to be made prior to the payment of a dividend or distribution on the Company’s common stock and the Company’s existing payment obligations to holders of the Class A equity interests in Outfront Canada (as defined in Note 10. Equity to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Deferred Financing Costs

As of June 30, 2020, we had deferred $36.1 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Securitization Facilities and our senior unsecured notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Securitization Facilities and our senior unsecured notes.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We have several interest rate cash flow swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of our LIBOR-based variable rate debt to a fixed rate and hedge our interest rate risk related to such variable rate debt. The fair value of these swap positions was a net liability of approximately $8.3 million as of June 30, 2020, and $4.6 million as of December 31, 2019, and is included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

As of June 30, 2020, under the terms of the agreements, we will pay interest based on an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million, under a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 2.7%, with a receive rate of one-month LIBOR and which mature at various dates until June 30, 2022. The one-month LIBOR rate was approximately 0.2% as of June 30, 2020.

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 $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2020, and $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of our debt as of both June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, is classified as Level 2. The aggregate fair value loss associated with our interest rate cash flow swap agreements was approximately $8.3 million as of June 30, 2020, and $4.6 million as of December 31, 2019. The aggregate fair value of our interest rate cash flow swap agreements as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is classified as Level 2.

Note 10. Equity

As of June 30, 2020, 450,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were authorized; 144,408,052 shares were issued and outstanding; and 50,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, were authorized with 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding.

On April 20 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400.0 million (the “Private Placement”) to certain affiliates of Providence Equity Partners LLC (collectively, the “Providence Purchasers”) and ASOF Holdings L.L.P. and Ares Capital Corporation (collectively, the “Ares Purchasers” and, together with the Providence Purchasers, the “Purchasers”).

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with respect to dividend and distribution rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears. The dividend rate will increase by an additional 0.75% annually following the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date and is subject to increases under certain other circumstances as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, effective as of April 20, 2020 (the “Articles”). Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-

month period. Following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, if all or any portion of the dividends or distributions is paid in respect of the shares of our common stock in cash, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in such dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for such quarter, which amounts will reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance of shares of our common stock upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock is subject to a cap equal to 28,856,239 shares of our common stock (the “Share Cap”), unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval to the extent required for the issuance of additional shares. Any amounts owed above the Share Cap must be paid in cash.

Subject to certain conditions, at the Company’s option, (i) after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, all of the Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of our common stock, and (ii) after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, all of the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Subject to certain conditions, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, after a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles) may (i) require the Company to purchase any or all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 105% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, or (ii) convert any or all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference (including accrued and unpaid dividends) divided by the then-applicable conversion price.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we paid cash dividends of $5.5 million on the Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2020, the maximum number of shares of common stock that could be required to be issued on conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock was 25.0 million shares.

In connection with the acquisition of outdoor advertising assets in Canada in June 2017, 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”). 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. The Company is also subject to limitations on its ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the assets acquired in Canada until June 2022, unless it pays holders of the Class A equity interests in Outfront Canada an amount intended to approximate their resulting tax liability, plus a tax gross-up.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we made distributions of $0.4 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 June 30, 2020, 1,026,727 Class A equity interests have been redeemed for shares of the Company’s common stock.

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. No shares were sold under the ATM Program during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

Note 12. Restructuring Charges

In order to preserve financial flexibility, increase liquidity and reduce expenses in light of the current uncertainty in the global economy and our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, on May 5, 2020, we announced a workforce reduction in the U.S. and notified approximately 70 employees of their termination. On June 15, 2020, we announced a workforce reduction in Canada and notified approximately 20 employees of their termination.

As of June 30, 2020, $3.2 million in restructuring reserves remain outstanding and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded restructuring charges of $4.7 million, of which $3.0 million was recorded in our U.S. Media segment, $0.7 million was recorded in Other,

and $1.0 million was recorded in Corporate. Restructuring charges were composed of severance charges associated with the workforce reductions, including $0.9 million for stock-based compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.3 million associated with the elimination of a corporate management position.

Note 13. Acquisitions

We completed several asset acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $13.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $29.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

In the second quarter of 2018, we entered into an agreement to acquire 14 digital and seven static billboard displays in California for a total estimated purchase price of $35.4 million. In the second quarter of 2019, we completed this acquisition except with respect to four digital displays, which we expect to acquire in 2022 for an estimated purchase price of $9.2 million, subject to customary closing conditions and the timing of site development.

In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into an agreement to acquire eight digital billboard displays in Atlanta, Georgia, for an aggregate purchase price of $24.0 million. During 2019, we paid deposits totaling $19.0 million into an escrow account related to this transaction, which were included in Other assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2019. We completed this transaction in the first quarter of 2020.

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we contributed $0.7 million to our pension plans. In 2020, we expect to contribute approximately $1.4 million to our pension plans.

Note 16. 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 TRSs. As such, we have provided for their federal, state and foreign income taxes.

Tax years 2016 to present are open for examination by the tax authorities.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of 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 agreements with municipalities and transit operators that 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.

Under the MTA agreement, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 8,565 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 37,716 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 7,829 MTA communications displays, with such deployment amounts being subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA. In addition, we are obligated to pay to the MTA 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 displays throughout the transit system. As presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and it’s unlikely we will recoup equipment deployment costs in 2020. In June 2020, we entered into an amendment to the MTA agreement, pursuant to which (i) for up to $143.0 million of MTA equipment deployment costs to be incurred under the MTA agreement after June 2020, the MTA and the Company will directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, instead of the costs being recoupable from incremental revenues generated under the agreement, and (ii) any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. In connection with the amendment to the MTA Agreement and in coordination with the MTA, after suspending our deployment of advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system in March 2020 as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we recommenced deployment in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, in the first quarter of 2020, we identified the COVID-19 pandemic as a trigger for impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and related intangible assets, and after performing an analysis, no impairment was identified. In the second quarter of 2020, we updated our projections in connection with the amendment to the MTA agreement, and did not identify a triggering event for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. (See Note 5. Long-Lived Assets: MTA Agreement to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) As of June 30, 2020, 5,350 digital displays had been installed, of which 97 installations occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2020, for a total of 773 installations in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

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. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding letters of credit were approximately $72.6 million and outstanding surety bonds were approximately $161.5 million, 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 19. Segment Information

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.

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, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2020, 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, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020, 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.,” “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, 2020.

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 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 19. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

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 sporting events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. 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.” 

In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. Geopath, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, enables us to build campaigns based on the size and demographic composition of audiences. As part of our technology platform, we are developing solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go. Additionally, our OUTFRONT Mobile Network and social influence add-on products allow our customers to further leverage location targeting with interactive mobile advertising and social sharing amplification.

We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays 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, print production and post-campaign tracking and analytics.

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, our U.S. Media segment generated $419.6 million of Revenues and $145.8 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, our U.S. Media segment generated $568.2 million of Revenues and $128.2 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, our U.S. Media segment generated $758.0 million of Revenues and $240.4 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, 2020, Other generated $19.4 million of Revenues and an Adjusted OIBDA loss of $5.4 million. In the three months ended June 30, 2019, Other generated $40.3 million of Revenues and $8.8 million of Adjusted OIBDA. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, Other generated $50.0 million of Revenues and an Adjusted OIBDA loss of $4.9 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, Other generated $73.6 million of Revenues and $10.0 million of Adjusted OIBDA.

COVID-19 Impact

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the related preventative measures taken to help curb the spread, including shutdowns and slowdowns of, and restrictions on, businesses, public gatherings, social interactions and travel (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic and transit commuting) throughout the markets in which we do business have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on the global economy and our business. Though generally we remain able to continue to sell and service our displays, our business operates billboard and transit franchise agreements in the top DMAs, such as New York and Los Angeles, where the COVID-19 pandemic has had a particularly significant impact. The COVID-19 pandemic has (i) interrupted our ability to build and deploy advertising structures and sites, including digital displays; (ii) reduced or curtailed our customers’ advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services through purchase cancellations or otherwise; (iii) increased the volatility of our customers’ advertising expenditure patterns from period-to-period through short-notice purchases, purchase deferrals or otherwise; and (iv) extended delays in the collection of earned advertising revenues from our customers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation in 2020.

As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, we expect our key performance indicators, total revenues and total expenses to be materially lower in 2020 than historical levels, particularly in our U.S. Media segment and with respect to our transit and other business. Additionally, we expect transit franchise expenses, billboard property lease expenses and posting, maintenance and other expenses, such as rental expenses and minimum annual guarantee payments, to materially increase as a percentage of revenues more than historical levels, as revenues decline in 2020. We expect the impacts described above to be greater in the second quarter of 2020 than in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. Accordingly, results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees and customers by (i) shifting to a secure remote workforce for all personnel other than operations personnel who service our displays and certain other personnel, (ii) implementing deep cleaning, social distancing and other protective policies and practices in accordance with federal, state and local regulations and guidance across all offices and facilities that are open or in the process of reopening, (iii) restricting non-essential business travel, and (iv) communicating frequently with our employees and customers to address any concerns. None of these actions have caused a significant disruption in our ability to manage the continuity of our business or our internal controls. In addition, in order to preserve financial flexibility, increase liquidity and reduce expenses in light of the current uncertainty in the global economy and our business, we have modified our business goals and undertaken the following actions, which should be read in conjunction with the “—Analysis of Results of Operations” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this MD&A:

Borrowed $470.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), which was repaid in full as of June 30, 2020, using the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (as defined below) and cash on hand;

Accessed the capital markets and raised $400.0 million, before expenses, in the Private Placement (as defined below) and issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”);

Table of Contents

Amended the Credit Agreement (as defined below) to modify the calculation of the Company’s financial maintenance covenant ratio under the Credit Agreement;

Amended the agreements governing the AR Securitization Facilities (as defined below) to temporarily suspend the AR Facility (as defined below) and extend the Repurchase Facility (as defined below) to June 2021 with a borrowing capacity of $80.0 million, unless further amended and/or extended;

Suspended our quarterly dividend payments on our common stock, subject to the minimum annual REIT distribution requirement;

Suspended our deployment of digital transit displays to reduce costs that may or may not be recoverable from customer sales or transit franchise partners, except with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”), with which we recommenced deployment in the third quarter of 2020;

Reduced maintenance capital expenditures (other than for necessary safety-related projects) and growth capital expenditures for digital billboard display conversions;

Paused new acquisition activity; and

Reduced our posting, maintenance and other, and SG&A (as defined below) expenses through restrictions on discretionary expenses, a hiring freeze, workforce reductions, employee furloughs, temporary reductions to certain employee base salaries, and temporary reductions to the base salaries of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers by 50% and 20%, respectively, as well as to the cash compensation of our non-employee directors by 20%, to offset expected decreases in revenues in 2020.

In addition, we have engaged, and will continue to engage, in constructive conversations with our billboard ground lease landlords, transit franchise partners and multimedia rights partners to mitigate increases as a percentage of revenues in billboard property lease expenses, transit franchise expenses and posting, maintenance and other expenses.

Though we rely on third parties to manufacture and transport our digital displays, and have not experienced any significant supply chain or logistical disruptions, we do, however, expect delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in receiving digital displays as we reinstate our digital billboard display conversions and deployment of digital transit displays.

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. When the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, there can be no assurances as to the time it may take to generate revenues at historic levels. Given the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, which may be material.

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic as described above.

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 both customers and structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters supermarkets and taxis.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience 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 print production and installation 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 four 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. The majority of our digital billboard displays were converted from traditional static billboard displays.

In 2017, we commenced deployment of state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises and are planning to increase deployments significantly over the coming years. 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. Subject to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we intend to incur significant equipment 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 23 new digital billboard displays in the United States and 2 in Canada during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 20 third-party digital billboard displays in the U.S. and 12 in Canada. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we have built, converted or replaced 884 digital transit and other displays in the United States. As described above, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reduced our digital billboard display conversions and suspended our deployment of digital transit displays (except with respect to the MTA, with which we recommenced deployment in the third quarter of 2020). The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

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 adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits may also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our largest categories of advertisers were professional services, healthcare/pharmaceuticals and retail, which represented approximately 11%, 10% and 8% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, computers/internet and professional services, each of which represented approximately 9%, 8% and 8% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our largest categories of advertisers were professional services, healthcare/pharmaceuticals and retail, which represented approximately 10%, 9% and 8% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, professional services and computers/internet, each of which represented approximately 9%, 8% and 8% 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, 2020, we generated approximately 39% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 46% in the same prior-year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated approximately 41% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 43% in the same prior-year period.

Our transit businesses requires us to periodically 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.

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 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 attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. to FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. and AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. 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 and restructuring charges. 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

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. 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 and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and non-controlling interests, 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 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, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our non-controlling interests, as well as the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. 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 and AFFO, 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 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) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., and revenues, 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.

The decreases were primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenues, partially offset by cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 over the contract period. (See Note 11. Revenues to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Transit franchise expenses represented 63% of transit display revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2020, 59% in the three months ended June 30, 2019, 62% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 60% in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in transit franchise expense as a percentage of revenues is primarily driven by an amendment to the MTA agreement, which resulted in the payment of an increased revenue share percentage instead of guaranteed minimum annual payments for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses decreased $62.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses decreased $56.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. The decreases were due primarily to lower billboard and transit revenues resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower transit franchise expenses paid to the MTA in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Posting, maintenance and other expenses decreased $23.6 million, or 36%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period and decreased $22.2 million, or 17%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period.

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

SG&A expenses represented 27% of Revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2020, and 18% in the same prior-year period. SG&A expenses decreased $19.1 million, or 23%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period.

SG&A expenses decreased $12.9 million, or 8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. The decreases were primarily driven by lower compensation-related costs and lower professional fees, primarily as a result of cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by a higher provision for doubtful allowances.

Net (Gain) Loss on Dispositions

Net gain on dispositions was $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a Net loss on dispositions of $0.4 million for the same prior-year period. Net gain on dispositions was $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.1 million for the same prior-year period. The gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily related to the sale of an office location in Canada. The gain for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to the sale of an office location in the U.S.

Depreciation decreased $0.2 million, or 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period and decreased $0.3 million, or 1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $5.9 million, or 21%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period, principally driven by lower direct lease acquisition costs, partially offset by higher amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of direct lease acquisition costs was $6.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $13.0 million in the same prior-year period. Amortization decreased $4.3 million, or 8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period, principally driven by lower direct lease acquisition costs, partially offset by higher amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of direct lease acquisition costs was $17.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $23.3 million in the same prior-year period.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $33.3 million (including $1.7 million of deferred financing costs) in the three months ended June 30, 2020, and $33.9 million (including $1.6 million of deferred financing costs) in the same prior-year period. Interest expense, net, was $63.1 million (including $3.0 million of deferred financing costs) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $66.6 million (including $3.0 million of deferred financing costs) in the same prior-year period. The decrease in Interest expense, net, was primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by a higher outstanding average debt balance.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

Benefit for income taxes was $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a Provision for income taxes of $6.2 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to a taxable REIT subsidiary loss in the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Benefit for income taxes was $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a Provision for income taxes of $5.2 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to a taxable REIT subsidiary loss in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss before allocation to non-controlling interests was $58.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests of $50.3 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to a the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the impact of cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net loss before allocation to non-controlling interests was $51.7 million in the six months ended June

30, 2020, compared Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests of $56.4 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the impact of cost reduction measures taken in response and lower interest expense.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Note 19. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

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. Our segment reporting therefore includes U.S. Media and Other.

The following table presents our Revenues, Adjusted OIBDA and Operating income (loss) by segment in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Total U.S. Media segment revenues decreased $206.1 million, or 49%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we generated approximately 39% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns and 46% in the same prior-year period. Total U.S. Media segment revenues decreased $189.8 million, or 25%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated approximately 41% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns and 43% in the same prior-year period. The decreases in U.S. Media segment revenues were due primarily to a decline in average revenue per display (yield) as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services through purchase cancellations or otherwise.

Revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards decreased $103.7 million, or 36%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. Revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards decreased $83.4 million, or 16%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. The decreases reflect a decline in average revenue per display (yield) as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services through purchase cancellations or otherwise.

Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment decreased $102.4 million, or 76%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period and decreased $106.4 million, or 45%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. The decreases were driven by a decline in average revenue per display (yield) as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services through purchase cancellations or otherwise.

U.S. Media segment operating expenses decreased $82.3 million, or 38%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. U.S. Media segment SG&A expenses decreased $15.4 million, or 27%, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. U.S. Media segment operating expenses decreased $73.0 million, or 18%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. U.S. Media segment SG&A expenses decreased $4.6 million, or 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. The decreases in U.S. Media segment operating expenses were primarily driven by lower billboard and transit revenues resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower transit franchise expenses paid to the MTA in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decreases in U.S. Media segment SG&A expenses were primarily driven by lower compensation-related costs and lower professional fees, primarily resulting from cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by a higher provision for doubtful allowances.

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 adjust their 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 on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.

Table of Contents

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs 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 borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Securitization Facilities (as defined below) or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

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. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we paused new acquisition activity.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment 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 borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

We expect our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability to be adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as cash on hand and operating cash flows decrease in 2020, and our ability to issue debt and equity securities and/borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. In order to preserve financial flexibility and increase liquidity in light of the current uncertainty in the global economy and our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we borrowed $470.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid in full as of June 30, 2020, using the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes and cash on hand, raised $400.0 million in the Private Placement, before expenses, issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes and amended the Credit Agreement to modify the calculation of the Company’s financial maintenance covenant ratio under the Credit Agreement, among other things. (See the “Overview—COVID-19 Impact” section of this MD&A.)

The increase in working capital as of June 30, 2020, compared to a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2019, is primarily driven by the increase in cash as a result of the Private Placement. The increase in cash is partially offset by a decline in Prepaid MTA deployment costs. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our expectations with respect to future revenues under the MTA agreement into the future, we reclassified the majority of Prepaid MTA deployment costs to long-term assets.

Under the MTA agreement, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 8,565 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 37,716 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 7,829 MTA communications displays, with such deployment amounts being subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA. In addition, we are obligated to pay to the MTA 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 displays throughout the transit system. As presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are being recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and it’s unlikely we will recoup equipment deployment costs in 2020. In June 2020, we entered into an amendment to the MTA agreement, pursuant to which (i) for up to $143.0 million of MTA equipment deployment costs to be incurred under the MTA agreement after June 2020, the MTA and the Company will directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, instead of the costs being recoupable from incremental revenues generated under the agreement, and (ii) any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. In connection with the amendment to the MTA Agreement and in coordination with the MTA, after suspending our deployment of advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system in March 2020 as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we recommenced deployment in the third quarter of 2020. Accordingly, for the full year of 2020, we currently expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be significantly lower than our previously disclosed amount of approximately $175.0 million as we recommence deployment in 2020. We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund equipment

deployment costs over the next couple of years. However, given the uncertainty in the market around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of June 30, 2020, we have issued surety bonds (in place of letters of credit) in favor of the MTA totaling approximately $136.0 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. In addition, in the first quarter of 2020, we identified the COVID-19 pandemic as a trigger for impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and related intangible assets, and after performing an analysis, no impairment was identified. In the second quarter of 2020, we updated our projections in connection with the amendment to the MTA agreement and did not identify a triggering event for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. (See the “Critical Accounting Polices—MTA Agreement” section of this MD&A.) Further, we expect transit franchise expenses to materially increase as a percentage of revenues as revenues decline in 2020 as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. (See the “Overview—COVID-19 Impact” section of this MD&A.) As indicated in the table below, we incurred $34.3 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in the six months ended June 30, 2020 (which includes equipment deployment costs related to future deployments), for a total of $281.9 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date. As of June 30, 2020, 5,350 digital displays had been installed, of which 97 installations occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2020, for a total of 773 installations in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2026 (the “Term Loan”) was 1.9% per annum as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, 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

We also have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” together with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

As of June 30, 2020, 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 $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $1.6 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2020, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $71.0 million under our aggregate $78.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities were immaterial in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities

As of June 30, 2020, we have a revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which terminates in June 2022, unless further extended, and a 364-day uncommitted structured repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Facility” and together with the AR Facility, the “AR Securitization Facilities”), which now terminates in June 2021, as described below, unless further extended.

On June 18, 2020, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) entered into amendments to certain of the agreements governing the Repurchase Facility, pursuant to which the Company, among other things, (i) decreased the maximum borrowing capacity under the Repurchase Facility from $90.0 million to $80.0 million; and (ii) extended the term of the Repurchase Facility so that it will terminate on June 29, 2021, unless further extended.

In connection with the AR Securitization Facilities, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) (the “Originators”), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the “QRS SPV”) or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s TRS accounts receivable assets (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV, the “SPVs”). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs’ assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs’ 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 SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.

In connection with the Repurchase Facility, the Originators may borrow funds collateralized by subordinated notes (the “Subordinated Notes”) issued by the SPVs in favor of their respective Originators and representing a portion of the outstanding balance of the accounts receivable assets sold by the Originators to the SPVs under the AR Facility. The Subordinated Notes will be transferred to MUFG, as repurchase buyer, on an uncommitted basis, and subject to repurchase by the applicable Originators on termination of the Repurchase Facility. The Originators have granted MUFG a security interest in the Subordinated Notes to secure their obligations under the agreements governing the Repurchase Facility, and the Company has agreed to guarantee the Originators’ obligations under the agreements governing the Repurchase Facility.

As of June 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility and $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Repurchase Facility, at a borrowing rate of approximately 1.9%. As of June 30, 2020, there was no borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility based on approximately $237.9 million of accounts receivable used as collateral for the AR Securitization Facilities and a related voluntary temporary suspension of the AR Facility, and there was no borrowing capacity remaining under the Repurchase Facility, in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Securitization Facilities. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was immaterial for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 15, 2020, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (“Finance LLC”) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (“Finance Corp” and, together with Finance LLC, the “Borrowers”), issued the Notes in a private placement. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities. Interest on the Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2020. On or after June 15, 2022, the Borrowers may redeem at any
44

Table of Contents
time, or from time to time, some or all of the Notes. Prior to such date, the Borrowers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate principal amount with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding after the redemption.

In May 2020, we used the net proceeds from the Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay $400.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering of the Notes.

As of June 30, 2020, a premium of $1.5 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

Our credit agreement, dated as of January 31, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Securitization Facilities, 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 restrict the Company’s and its 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 exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2020, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 6.7 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Securitization Facilities) require that 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 4.5 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2020, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.0 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

On April 15, 2020, the Company, along with the Borrowers, and other guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment provides that for the period from April 15, 2020 through September 30, 2021 (i) the Company’s Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated by substituting the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA for each of the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, included in any last twelve month compliance testing period, with the Company’s historical Consolidated EBITDA for each of the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively; and (ii) the Company will not make any Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) without the consent of the applicable lenders under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions such as payments necessary to maintain the Company’s REIT status, including any payments on any class of the Company’s capital stock that is required to be made prior to the payment of a dividend or distribution on the Company’s common stock and the Company’s existing payment obligations to holders of the Class A equity interests in Outfront Canada (as defined in Note 10. Equity to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Deferred Financing Costs

As of June 30, 2020, we had deferred $36.1 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Securitization Facilities and our senior unsecured notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Securitization Facilities and our senior unsecured notes.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We have several interest rate cash flow swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of our LIBOR-based variable rate debt to a fixed rate and hedge our interest rate risk related to such variable rate debt. The fair value of these swap positions was a net liability of approximately $8.3 million as of June 30, 2020, and $4.6 million as of December 31, 2019, and is included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
45

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2020, under the terms of the agreements, we will pay interest based on an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million, under a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 2.7%, with a receive rate of one-month LIBOR and which mature at various dates until June 30, 2022. The one-month LIBOR rate was approximately 0.2% as of June 30, 2020.

Equity

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. No shares were sold under the ATM Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

Series A Preferred Stock Issuance

On April 20 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400.0 million (the “Private Placement”) to certain affiliates of Providence Equity Partners LLC (collectively, the “Providence Purchasers”) and ASOF Holdings L.L.P. and Ares Capital Corporation (collectively, the “Ares Purchasers” and, together with the Providence Purchasers, the “Purchasers”).

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with respect to dividend and distribution rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears. The dividend rate will increase by an additional 0.75% annually following the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date and is subject to increases under certain other circumstances as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, effective as of April 20, 2020 (the “Articles”). Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-month period. Following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, if all or any portion of the dividends or distributions is paid in respect of the shares of our common stock in cash, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in such dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for such quarter, which amounts will reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance of shares of our common stock upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock is subject to a cap equal to 28,856,239 shares of our common stock (the “Share Cap”), unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval to the extent required for the issuance of additional shares. Any amounts owed above the Share Cap must be paid in cash.

Subject to certain conditions, at the Company’s option, (i) after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, all of the Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of our common stock, and (ii) after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, all of the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Subject to certain conditions, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, after a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles) may (i) require the Company to purchase any or all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 105% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, or (ii) convert any or all of their shares of Series A Preferred

Table of Contents
Stock into the number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference (including accrued and unpaid dividends) divided by the then-applicable conversion price.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we paid cash dividends of $5.5 million on the Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2020, the maximum number of shares of common stock that could be required to be issued on conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock was 25.0 million shares.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $32.8 million, or 39%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period, driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the impact of cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we paid $28.3 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs and installed 773 digital displays. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid $58.6 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs.

Cash used for investing activities decreased $33.2 million, or 40%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to lower cash paid for acquisitions, capital expenditures and MTA franchise rights.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Growth$20.8  $31.0  (33)%

Total capital expenditures$31.9  $39.6  (19) 

Capital expenditures decreased $7.7 million, or 19%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period, due to lower spending on installation of the most current LED lighting technology and lower spending on digital billboard and transit display projects.

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reduced maintenance capital expenditures (other than for necessary safety-related projects) and growth capital expenditures for digital billboard display conversions. For the full year of 2020, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $50.0 million, which will be used primarily for necessary safety-related maintenance projects and growth in digital displays for which screens have already been ordered or received.

Cash provided by financing activities increased $167.6 million, or 40%, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same prior-year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received net proceeds of $400.0 million related to the Notes offering and received net proceeds of $383.9 million related to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to enhance our liquidity position in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and made net repayments under the AR Securitization Facilities of $115.0 million and paid total cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and on our common stock of $61.1 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received net proceeds of $650.0 million related to our 2027 senior unsecured notes offering, received net proceeds of $50.9 million related to the sale of our common stock under the ATM Program, made net

repayments of $160.0 million on the AR Securitization Facilities and paid cash dividends on our common stock of $103.9 million.

Cash paid for income taxes was $2.1 million for in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $5.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of guaranteed minimum annual payments. (See Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We consider the following accounting policy to be the most critical as it is significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020.

MTA Agreement

Under the MTA agreement, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 8,565 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 37,716 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 7,829 MTA communications displays, with such deployment amounts being subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA. In addition, we are entitled to generate revenue through the sale of advertising on transit advertising displays and incur transit franchise expenses, which are calculated based on contractually stipulated percentages of revenue generated under the contract, subject to a minimum guarantee.

Title of the various digital displays transfers to the MTA on installation, therefore the cost of deploying these screens throughout the transit system does not represent our property and equipment. The portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to operating expenses as advertising revenue is generated. The short-term portion of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs represents the costs that we expect to recover from the MTA in the next twelve months. The portion of deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from advertising revenues that would otherwise be retained by us under the contract are recorded as Intangible assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to amortization expense on a straight line basis over the contract period.

If we do not generate sufficient advertising revenues from the MTA contract, there is a risk that the related Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets may not be recoverable. Management assesses the prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. This assessment requires evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to determine if there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgment in assessing these factors, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the initial deployment schedule. Additionally, management assesses quantitative factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results. In the first quarter of 2020, we identified the COVID-19 pandemic as a trigger for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and related intangible assets. After updating our projections to reflect related declines in revenues in 2020 and delays in our anticipated deployment schedule as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other things, no impairment was identified. In the second quarter of 2020, we updated our projections in

connection with the amendment to the MTA agreement and did not identify a triggering event for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Given the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates, which may result in impairment charges in the future. 

Accounting Standards

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 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, 2019, such contracts accounted for 18.0% of our total utility costs. As of June 30, 2020, 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 until June 2024.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign currency translation risk is the risk that exchange rate gains or losses arise from translating our Canadian business’s 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, 2020, we have $10.6 million of unrecognized foreign currency translation losses included within Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Substantially all of our transactions at our Canadian subsidiary 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.

Table of Contents
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 Securitization Facilities.

As of June 30, 2020, we had a $600.0 million variable-rate Term Loan due 2026 outstanding, which has an interest rate of 1.9% 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 $1.0 million.

As of June 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility and $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Repurchase Facility, at a borrowing rate of 1.9%. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in our interest rate on the AR Securitization Facilities will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.

We have several interest rate cash flow swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of our LIBOR-based variable rate debt to a fixed rate and hedge our interest rate risk related to such variable rate debt. The fair value of these swap positions was a net unrecognized loss of approximately $8.3 million as of June 30, 2020, and is included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The following table provides information about our interest rate swap agreements, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the agreements.

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 credit losses are adequate. We have experienced an increase in the allowance for credit losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and accordingly, we recorded additional provisions for doubtful accounts in the first quarter of 2020. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 report, 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, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have heightened certain of the risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, and such risk factors are further qualified by the information relating to the COVID-19 pandemic described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed.
