Insights

Financial Analyst

Reviewing OUTFRONT Media Inc.'s reported first-quarter financials, the highlight is a mixed financial performance. Revenue saw a marginal increase of 3.2%, signaling stability in their core operations, particularly in billboard and transit avenues. However, the net loss has shrunk only slightly year-over-year, from $28.9 million to $27.2 million, indicating that despite revenue growth, profitability challenges remain. It's worth noting the 163.6% surge in Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), a key metric in real estate indicating cash generated, which could be seen as a positive indicator of operational efficiency. This might suggest an improvement in the company's ability to handle its dividends and investments without relying on external funding. Given the significant improvement in AFFO, I would give these results a cautious positive rating of 1, with a keen eye on whether this can translate into sustained profitability.

Debt Market Analyst

The first-quarter results show a rise in net interest expense from $37.7 million to $41.4 million, largely due to increased interest rates and a higher average debt balance. The weighted average cost of debt also ticked up slightly from 5.4% to 5.7%. This uptick highlights a more expensive capital structure, possibly reflecting tightening credit conditions or a strategic decision to leverage for growth. For investors, this can be a double-edged sword: the increased cost of debt may weigh on future earnings, but if managed effectively, it can also support growth initiatives. Another critical point is the recorded impairment charge of $9.1 million concerning the MTA asset group, suggesting that some assets are underperforming and may not generate expected future cash flows. The stability in liquidity with $493.6 million available under the credit facility is reassuring. I rate these debt-related nuances as neutral with a rating of 0, as the cost of borrowing is within a manageable range but could be a concern if interest rates continue to rise.

First Quarter 2024 Results

Consolidated
Reported revenues of $408.5 million increased $12.7 million, or 3.2%, for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same prior-year period. Organic revenues of $408.5 million increased $12.6 million, or 3.2%.

Reported billboard revenues of $328.8 million increased $8.2 million, or 2.6%, compared to the same prior-year period due primarily to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, partially offset by lower proceeds from condemnations. Organic billboard revenues of $328.8 million increased $8.1 million, or 2.5%.

Reported transit and other revenues of $79.7 million increased $4.5 million, or 6.0%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts. Organic transit and other revenues of $79.7 million increased $4.5 million, or 6.0%.

Total operating expenses of $238.7 million increased $3.2 million, or 1.4%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher posting, maintenance, and other expenses, offset slightly by lower transit franchise expense. Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $110.5 million increased $2.6 million, or 2.4%, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher professional fees, higher compensation-related expenses and higher rent related to new offices, partially offset by lower travel and entertainment expenses.

Adjusted OIBDA of $66.5 million increased $6.3 million, or 10.5%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Segment Results

U.S. Media
Reported revenues of $389.6 million increased $13.2 million, or 3.5%, due primarily to higher billboard revenues. Billboard revenues increased 2.5% and Transit and other revenues increased 7.7%. Organic revenues increased $13.2 million, or 3.5%.

Operating expenses increased $3.6 million, or 1.6%, primarily driven by higher billboard revenues, higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the "MTA"), higher compensation-related expenses, higher maintenance and utilities costs, and higher posting and rotation costs, driven by higher business activity. SG&A expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.1%, primarily driven by a lower provision for doubtful accounts and lower professional fees, partially offset by higher compensation-related expenses, higher rent related to new offices and higher insurance costs.

Adjusted OIBDA of $81.8 million increased $9.7 million, or 13.5%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Other
Reported revenues of $18.9 million decreased $0.5 million, or 2.6%, compared to the same prior-year period due primarily to a decline in third-party digital equipment sales, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per display (yield). Canada revenues of $18.6 million increased $1.0 million, or 5.7%. Organic revenues decreased $0.6 million, or 3.1%.

Operating expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 3.1%, due primarily to lower costs related to third-party digital equipment sales, partially offset by higher expenses in Canada. SG&A expenses increased $0.1 million, or 1.9%, driven primarily by higher expenses in Canada.

Adjusted OIBDA of $0.9 million decreased $0.2 million, or 18.2%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Corporate 
Corporate costs, excluding stock-based compensation, increased $3.2 million, or 24.6%, to $16.2 million, due primarily to higher professional fees as a result of a management consulting project and the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees.

Impairment Charges
As previously disclosed, we recorded impairment charges in 2023 with respect to our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit, primarily representing impairment charges related to our MTA asset group. As a result of our continued expectation of negative aggregate cash flows related to our MTA asset group, we recorded an additional impairment charge of $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, which relates to additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the quarter.

Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2024 was $41.4 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.6 million, as compared to $37.7 million in the same prior-year period, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.6 million. The increase was due primarily to higher interest rates and a higher average debt balance compared to the same prior-year period. The weighted average cost of debt as of March 31, 2024 was 5.7% and as of March 31, 2023 was 5.4%.

Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes was $0.5 million compared to a provision of $0.4 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to changes in taxable income for our U.S. TRSs (as defined below) and our Canadian subsidiaries. Cash paid for income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.1 million.

Net Loss Attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Net loss attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. decreased $1.7 million, or 5.9%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same prior-year period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 165.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 164.5 million for the same prior-year period. Net loss attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share was $0.18 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $0.19 in the same prior-year period.

FFO & AFFO
FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. increased $5.2 million, or 30.4%, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher Adjusted OIBDA, offset somewhat by impairment charges on non-real estate assets and higher interest expense. AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. increased $14.4 million, or 163.6%, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher Adjusted OIBDA, lower maintenance capital expenditures, and lower cash taxes expense.

Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same prior-year period due primarily to a smaller use of cash related to accounts payable and accrued expenses, driven by lower incentive compensation payments made in 2024, and a decrease in prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs, partially offset by the timing of receivables and lower net income in 2024 compared to 2023, due to increased operating and SG&A expenses, and higher interest expense. Total capital expenditures decreased $4.2 million, or 18.6%, to $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same prior-year period.

Dividends
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid cash dividends of $52.4 million, including $50.2 million on our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees and $2.2 million on our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). We announced on May 2, 2024, that our board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.30 per share payable on June 28, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 7, 2024.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2024, our liquidity position included unrestricted cash of $42.4 million and $493.6 million of availability under our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $6.4 million of issued letters of credit against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the revolving credit facility, and $30.0 of additional availability under our accounts receivable securitization facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no shares of our common stock were sold under our at-the-market equity offering program, of which $232.5 million remains available. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that could be required to be issued on conversion of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock was approximately 7.8 million shares. Total indebtedness as of March 31, 2024 was $2.8 billion, excluding $21.2 million of deferred financing costs, and includes a $600.0 million term loan, $1.7 billion of senior unsecured notes, $450 million of senior secured notes, and $120.0 million of borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility.

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 organic revenues as reported revenues excluding revenues associated with 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 (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation, and impairment 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. 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, impairment charges, 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 certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on non-real estate assets, 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, along with 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 real estate investment trusts ("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 organic revenues, 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, revenues, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., 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 4-6 of this release for a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
