Organic revenues increased $4.2 million, or 2.8%, led by solid growth in Canada and South America. Reported Adjusted OIBDA decreased $4.8 million to $24.3 million due to geographic mix and increased operating, marketing, and support costs.

Corporate

Corporate costs, excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring, and acquisition costs, increased $6.4 million to $27.1 million compared to the same prior-year period, including $10.4 million of incremental stand-alone costs.

Interest Expense

Net Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $27.5 million, reflecting the incurrence of $1.6 billion of indebtedness on January 31, 2014 and $600 million of indebtedness on October 1, 2014 related to acquisitions. Net interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2014 includes $1.4 million for amortization of deferred financing costs. The weighted average cost of debt at December 31, 2014, was 4.6%.

Income Taxes

The benefit from income taxes was $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to a provision of $26.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. On July 17, 2014, we began operating in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the tax year commencing July 17, 2014 and ending December 31, 2014. The effective income tax rate would have been 5.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 had we been operating as a REIT for that period. Cash paid for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $21.6 million as compared to $37.5 million in the same prior-year period.

Net Income per Common Share

On December 31, 2014, we issued 16.5 million shares of common stock in connection with a special dividend related to our REIT qualification. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $27.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $50.0 million in the same prior-year period. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was impacted by the incurrence of interest expense, incremental stand-alone costs, restructuring charges, and acquisition costs, partially offset by lower taxes due to our conversion to a REIT. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 120.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income per diluted weighted average share was $0.23 for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $0.41 in the same prior-year period. Net income per diluted weighted average share on a REIT-comparable basis was $0.28 for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $0.27 in the same prior-year period.

FFO & AFFO

FFO was $74.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of $8.1 million from the same prior-year period, driven primarily by lower net income as a result of higher interest expense and restructuring and acquisition costs, partially offset by acquisitions and lower income tax. FFO would have been $76.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 had we been operating as a REIT. AFFO was $79.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $15.6 million over the same prior-year period due to acquisitions and lower income taxes due to our conversion to a REIT. AFFO would have been $69.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 had we been operating as a REIT.

Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures

Net cash flow provided by operating activities of $262.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased compared to $281.1 million during the same prior-year period due to higher interest expense, restructuring and acquisition costs, partially offset by acquisitions and lower income tax. Total capital expenditures increased $3.3 million to $64.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Dividends

For the year ended December 31, 2014, recurring dividends paid in cash were $133.2 million. In connection with the special dividend to distribute the Company’s accumulated earnings and profits as of July 17, 2014, the date the Company began operating in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “E&P Purge”), the Company paid approximately $109.5 million in cash, and issued approximately 16.5 million new shares of our common stock.

The Company announced today that its board of directors has approved a special cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of approximately $8.2 million, or $0.06 per share based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2014 of approximately 136.6 million, comprised of a “top-up” of the 2014 annual dividend for REIT distributable income. This $8.2 million special cash dividend represents the balance of 100% of the Company’s 2014 REIT distributable income since becoming a REIT on July 17, 2014, over the recurring dividends paid on September 30, 2014 and December 15, 2014. The special cash dividend is payable on March 31, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 11, 2015.

The Company also announced today that its board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $46.4 million, representing a 4.6% increase over the $44.4 million dividend paid for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 The new regular quarterly cash dividend is $0.34 per share based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2014 of approximately 136.6 million, including approximately 16.5 million new shares issued in the E&P Purge, and is payable on March 31, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 11, 2015.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s liquidity position included cash of $28.5 million and $404.4 million of availability under its $425.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $20.6 million of letters of credit outstanding. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 2014 was $2.2 billion, primarily consisting of a $798.3 million term loan and $1.4 billion of senior unsecured notes.

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 because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. We calculate organic revenues by adjusting to exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, 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 because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income before depreciation, amortization, net (gains) losses on dispositions, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and costs related to the Van Wagner 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 with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and amortization of direct lease acquisition costs, as well as the same adjustments for our equity based investments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes costs related to the Van Wagner 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 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 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 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. 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, the 97,000,000 shares outstanding after our stock split and 16,536,001 shares issued in connection with 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, performance-based restricted share units and stock options. Our management believes that these presentations are useful in evaluating our business because they allow users 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 initial public offering and the E&P Purge, which increased our outstanding shares of common stock. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin in the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, on a REIT-comparable basis, by adjusting to include incremental costs associated with operating as a stand-alone public company of $5.4 million ($3.2 million, net of tax) incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2014, and $19.6 million ($11.7 million, net of tax) in the year ended December 31, 2014. We calculate operating income, net income, FFO, AFFO, and related per weighted average share and per adjusted weighted average share amounts, in the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, on a REIT-comparable basis, by adjusting to (1) exclude restructuring charges of $3.6 million ($3.0 million, net of tax) and $9.8 million ($8.6 million, net of tax) incurred in the three months and year ended

December 31, 2014, respectively, and costs related to the Van Wagner acquisition of $9.0 million ($7.8 million, net of tax) and $10.4 million ($9.1 million, net of tax), incurred in the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, (2) exclude net gains on dispositions incurred in the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 (which included a significant net gain of $9.8 million incurred on the disposition of most of our billboards in Salt Lake City in exchange for billboards in New Jersey and a gain of $17.5 million associated with the disposition of our transit shelter operations in Los Angeles in 2013), (3) include incremental costs associated with operating as a stand-alone public company of $5.4 million ($3.2 million, net of tax) incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2014, and $19.6 million ($11.7 million, net of tax) in the year ended December 31, 2014, and interest expense of $18.5 million, ($11.0 million, net of tax) incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2014, and $75.7 million ($45.3 million, net of tax) in the year ended December 31, 2014, relating to our entry into our senior credit facilities, the issuance of our senior notes in the first quarter of 2014 and the lender commitment to provide a senior unsecured bridge term loan facility for the purpose of financing the Van Wagner acquisition, (4) with respect to FFO and related per adjusted weighted average share amounts only, exclude an income tax benefit from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities due to our REIT conversion of $3.3 million and $235.6 million in the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, (5) with respect to AFFO and related per adjusted weighted average share amounts only, include amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in the three months and year ended December 31, 2014, of $1.0 million and $11.7 million, respectively, relating to our entry into our senior credit facilities, the issuance of our senior notes in the first quarter of 2014 and the lender commitment to provide a senior unsecured bridge term loan facility for the purpose of financing the Van Wagner acquisition, and (6) with respect to net income, FFO and AFFO, and related per weighted average share and per adjusted weighted average share amounts only, exclude income taxes that would not have been incurred had we been operating as a REIT in the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 and 2014. Our management believes these adjusted presentations are useful in evaluating our business because they allow users to compare our operating performance for 2013 against the operating performance of the periods presented for 2014, taking into account certain significant costs arising as a result of our split-off and the Van Wagner acquisition, 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, adjusted weighted average shares for basic and diluted EPS, and, on a REIT-comparable basis, operating income, net income, 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, net income, weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS, and net income 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 EXHIBITS

 

  (a) Adjusted weighted average shares include the 23 million shares issued in connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”), the 97 million shares outstanding after our stock split, and the 16.5 million shares issued as a special dividend in connection with our conversion to a REIT for basic earnings per share (“EPS”). Adjusted weighted average shares for diluted EPS also include dilutive potential shares from grants of restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted share units (“PRSUs”) and stock options.

 

  (b) Prior period amounts have been revised to the current presentation to reflect non-cash purchases of property and equipment.

 

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

 

  (d) Includes $55.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, and $58.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, related to acquisitions, the November 2013 sale of our transit shelter operations in the greater Los Angeles area and the April 2014 non-renewal of an unprofitable contract. Includes $7.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, and $26.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, related to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the November 2013 sale of our transit shelter operations in the greater Los Angeles area and the April 2014 non-renewal of an unprofitable contract.

 

  (e) Revenues on a constant dollar basis are calculated as reported revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates between periods.

 

  (f) Adjustment to exclude Net gain on dispositions.

 

  (g) Adjustment to reflect Restructuring charges.

 

  (h) Adjustment to reflect costs related to the Van Wagner acquisition.

 

  (i) Adjustment to reflect tax balances as if we had been operating as a REIT for all respective periods.

 

  (j) Adjustment to reflect incremental stand-alone costs at 2014 level.

 

16


  (k) Adjustment to reflect incremental interest expense at 2014 level.

 

  (l) Weighted average shares outstanding for basic EPS was 120.2 million shares and for diluted EPS was 120.7 million shares for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Weighted average shares for basic EPS was 114.3 million shares and for diluted EPS was 114.8 million shares for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

  (m) Adjusted weighted average shares for basic EPS was 136.5 million shares and for diluted EPS was 137.0 million shares for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
