Reported revenues of $398.5 million increased $3.5 million, or 0.9%, for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same prior-year period. On an organic basis, revenues of $397.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 were up 4.3% compared to the same prior-year period.

Reported billboard revenues of $279.0 million decreased $3.5 million, or 1.2%, due to foreign currency exchange losses, offset by increased revenues from digital. On an organic basis, billboard revenues were up 1.2% compared to the same prior-year period due to higher U.S. billboard results, offset by lower International results.

Reported transit and other revenues of $119.5 million increased $7.0 million, or 6.2%, due to stronger U.S. and international market conditions. On an organic basis, transit and other revenues increased 12.4% over the same prior-year period.

Total Operating expenses of $218.6 million grew $4.4 million, or 2.1%, primarily as a result of higher transit franchise expenses driven by higher transit revenues and higher billboard lease costs driven by growth in larger markets with revenue share leases, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates. Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $65.8 million grew $2.6 million, or 4.1% over the same prior-year period, primarily as a result of a $3.2 million increase in strategic business development expenses, $0.3 million of incremental stand-alone costs, and $0.8 million in legal expenses, a majority of which are expected to be non-recurring, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates.

Loss on Real Estate Assets Held for Sale
In connection with the Company entering into an agreement with JCDecaux on October 31, 2015 to sell its Latin America business, the Company is required to measure the related assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value, including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses, or fair value less cost to sell.  This resulted in a non-cash loss on real estate assets held for sale of $103.6 million.  The assets have been classified as assets held for sale on the balance sheet and the foreign currency translation adjustment loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Interest Expense
Net Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $29.2 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.9 million, as a result of the incurrence of $1.6 billion of indebtedness on January 31, 2014, $600 million of indebtedness on October 1, 2014 related to acquisitions, and $100 million of indebtedness on March 30, 2015. The weighted average cost of debt at December 31, 2015, was 4.7%.

Income Taxes
The income taxes benefit was $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to a benefit of $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.  Cash paid for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $0.9 million as compared to $21.6 million in the same prior-year period, which included $18.3 million related to taxes incurred prior to the Company's separation from CBS Corporation and its real estate investment trust ("REIT") conversion. The effective income tax rate was 7.2% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 without the impact of the non-cash $103.6 million loss on real estate assets held for sale.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $73.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to net income of $27.8 million in the same prior-year period. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 was impacted by a $103.6 million loss on real estate assets held for sale, incremental stand-alone costs, increased strategic business development expenses and increased legal expenses, the majority of which are expected to be non-recurring, partially offset by lower restructuring charges and acquisition costs. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 137.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Net loss per diluted weighted average share was $0.54 for the fourth quarter of 2015, which includes $0.75 attributable to the loss on real estate assets held for sale, as compared to net income per diluted weighted average share of $0.23 in the same prior-year period. Net income on a REIT-comparable basis, per diluted adjusted weighted average share, was $0.21 for the fourth quarter of 2015, which excludes the impact of the loss on real estate assets held for sale, as compared to $0.25 in the same prior-year period.

FFO & AFFO
FFO was $79.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of $5.0 million from the same prior-year period, driven primarily by lower acquisition costs. FFO on a REIT-comparable basis was $79.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $81.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. FFO on a REIT-comparable basis was $274.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $287.0 million during the prior year. AFFO was $76.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of $2.4 million from the same prior-year period due to higher cash paid for lease acquisition costs and higher interest expense. AFFO on a REIT-comparable basis was $76.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $78.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. AFFO on a REIT-comparable basis, per diluted adjusted weighted average share, was $0.56 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $0.57 in the fourth quarter of 2014. AFFO on a REIT-comparable basis was $266.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $274.5 million during the prior year. AFFO on a REIT-comparable basis, per diluted adjusted weighted average share, was $1.94 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2.00 during the prior year.

Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures
Net cash flow provided by operating activities of $293.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $30.3 million compared to $262.8 million during the prior-year, primarily due to higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, lower income taxes as a result of our REIT conversion and the impact of acquisitions partially offset by higher use of working capital driven by an increase in accounts receivable and decreases in accounts payables and accrued expenses. Total capital expenditures decreased $5.0 million to $59.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Dividends
In the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid cash dividends of $196.3 million, including a special cash dividend of $8.2 million on March 31, 2015, representing of a “top-up” of the 2014 annual dividend for REIT distributable income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) provided throughout this document, this document and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures as described below. We calculate revenues on a constant dollar basis as reported revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates between periods. We provide constant dollar revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods, which are not under management’s direct control. Our management believes constant dollar revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. We calculate organic revenues as reported revenues excluding revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”). We provide organic revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of non-organic revenue items. Our management believes organic revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. We calculate and define "Adjusted OIBDA" as operating income before depreciation, amortization, net (gains) losses on dispositions, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, loss on real estate assets held for sale, and costs related to our acquisition of certain outdoor advertising businesses of Van Wagner Communications, LLC (the “Acquisition”). 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. We calculate Funds From Operations ("FFO") in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the non-cash effect of loss on real estate assets held for sale, as well as the same adjustments for our equity-based investments, as applicable. We calculate Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes costs related to the Acquisition and restructuring charges, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent and amortization of deferred financing

costs. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO, AFFO, and related per weighted average share and per adjusted weighted average share amounts, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs. For 2014, we present weighted average shares on an adjusted basis for basic earnings per share (“EPS”) to give effect to the 23,000,000 shares issued on April 2, 2014, in connection with the initial public offering ("IPO”), the 97,000,000 shares outstanding after our stock split and 16,536,001 shares issued in connection with the distribution of accumulated earnings and profits as of July 17, 2014, the date we began operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “E&P Purge”), and on an adjusted basis for diluted EPS to also give effect to dilutive potential shares from grants of restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”) and stock options, as applicable. Our management believes that these presentations are useful in evaluating our business because they allow users of our financial data to evaluate our basic and diluted per share results after giving effect to the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with our IPO and the E&P Purge, which increased our outstanding shares of common stock. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, on a REIT-comparable basis, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, by adjusting the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, to include incremental costs associated with operating as a stand-alone public company of $0.3 million, which were incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2015, and $6.3 million, which were incurred in the year ended December 31, 2015. We calculate operating income (loss), net income (loss), FFO, AFFO and related per weighted average share and per adjusted weighted average share amounts, on a REIT-comparable basis, for the three months and year ended December, 2015 and 2014, by adjusting, as applicable, (1) 2014 to include incremental costs associated with operating as a stand-alone public company, net of tax, incurred in 2015, one month of interest expense, net of tax, incurred in 2015, relating to our entry into the term loan due in 2021 (the “Term Loan”), the $425.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and the issuance of $800.0 million of senior unsecured notes on January 31, 2014, and to exclude net gain (loss) on dispositions incurred in 2014, interest expense incurred 2014 related to an unused lender commitment to provide a senior unsecured bridge term loan facility associated with the Acquisition, income taxes that would not have been incurred had we been operating as a REIT throughout 2014, restructuring charges, net of tax, incurred in 2014, Acquisition costs, net of tax, incurred in 2014, and with respect to net income (loss), FFO and related per weighted average share and per adjusted weighted average share amounts only, an income tax benefit from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities due to our REIT conversion, (2) 2015 to exclude net gain (loss) on dispositions, restructuring charges, net of tax, and loss on real estate assets held for sale incurred in 2015, and (3) 2014, with respect to AFFO and related per adjusted weighted average share amounts only, to include one month of amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in 2015 relating to our entry into the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility, and the issuance of $800.0 million of senior unsecured notes on January 31, 2014, and amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in 2014, related to an unused lender commitment to provide a senior unsecured bridge term loan facility associated with the Acquisition. Our management believes these adjusted presentations are useful in evaluating our business because they allow users of our financial data to compare our operating performance for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, against the operating performance for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, taking into account certain significant costs arising as a result of our separation from CBS Corporation, the Acquisition and our agreement to sell all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries, which hold all of the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America, as well as the REIT tax treatment that would have applied had we been operating as a REIT for the periods presented. Since constant dollar revenues, organic revenues, Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO, AFFO and adjusted weighted average shares for basic and diluted EPS and, on a REIT-comparable basis, operating income (loss), net income (loss), Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO, and, in each case, as applicable, related per weighted average share and per adjusted weighted average share amounts, are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues, operating income (loss), net income (loss), weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS, and net income (loss) per common share for basic and diluted EPS, 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.

Please see Exhibits 4-7 of this release for a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

NOTES TO COVER TABLE

1.
Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates ("non-organic revenues").
