Second Quarter 2021 Results

Consolidated
Reported revenues of $341.0 million increased $108.1 million, or 46.4%, for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same prior-year period.  Organic revenues increased $118.5 million, or 53.3%.

Reported billboard revenues of $287.3 million increased $98.8 million, or 52.4%, due to higher average revenue per display (yield) compared to the same prior-year period, which was affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services.  Organic billboard revenues increased $97.8 million, or 51.6%, for the same reasons.

Reported transit and other revenues of $53.7 million increased $9.3 million, or 20.9%, due primarily to an increase in yield compared to same prior-year period, which was affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services, partially offset by the disposition of our Sports Marketing operating segment in the third quarter of 2020. Organic transit and other revenues of $53.7 million increased $20.7 million, or 62.7%.

Total Operating expenses of $189.6 million increased $35.6 million, or 23.1%, due primarily to guaranteed minimum annual payments to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the "MTA") and higher transit franchise expense on higher transit revenues, higher billboard property lease expense, and higher posting, maintenance and other expenses, partially offset by the impact of the disposition of our Sports Marketing operating segment. Selling, General and Administrative expenses ("SG&A") of $88.9 million increased $20.2 million, or 29.4%, due primarily to higher compensation-related costs, offset by a lower provision for doubtful allowances and the disposition of our Sports Marketing operating segment. Consistent with the current period's presentation, we have reclassified amortization of direct lease acquisition costs from Amortization to SG&A expenses in 2020.

Adjusted OIBDA of $70.0 million increased $54.6 million, or 354.5%.

Segment Results

U.S. Media
Reported and organic revenues of $321.8 million increased $108.3 million, or 50.7%, due primarily to an increase in yield compared to same prior-year period, which was affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services.  Billboard revenues increased 49.8% and Transit and other revenues increased 55.8% for the same reasons.

Operating expenses increased $41.8 million, or 31.0%, due primarily to guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA and higher transit franchise expense on higher transit revenues, higher posting, maintenance and other expenses, and higher billboard property lease expense. SG&A expenses increased $17.3 million, or 36.7%, due primarily to higher compensation-related costs, partially offset by lower provision for doubtful allowances.

Adjusted OIBDA of $80.6 million increased $49.2 million, or 156.7%.

Other
Reported revenues of $19.2 million decreased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, due to the disposition of our Sports Marketing operating segment, partially offset by an improvement in Canada relative to the impact of COVID-19 on customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services in the same prior-year period. Organic revenues increased $10.2 million, or 113.3%.

Operating expenses decreased $6.2 million, or 32.6%, driven by the disposition of our Sports Marketing operating segment, partially offset by an increase in billboard lease expense and transit franchise expense. SG&A expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 21.3%, driven primarily by the disposition of our Sports Marketing operating segment, partially offset by higher expenses in Canada. 

Adjusted OIBDA was $1.6 million compared to a loss of $5.7 million in the same prior-year period.

Corporate
Corporate costs, excluding stock-based compensation, increased $1.9 million, or 18.4%, to $12.2 million, due primarily to the impact of higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by lower expenses on an equity-linked retirement plan offered to certain employees.

Interest Expense
Net Interest expense was $32.1 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.9 million, as compared to $33.3 million in the same prior-year period, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower rates compared to the same prior-year period. The weighted average cost of debt at June 30, 2021 was 4.3% compared to 4.5% in the same prior-year period.

Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes was $2.4 million compared to $1.5 million in the same prior-year period.  Cash paid for income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.4 million.

Net Loss Attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 145.6 million compared to 144.4 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 $0.05 compared to $0.44 in the same prior-year period.

FFO & AFFO
FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $39.7 million compared to a deficit of $27.9 million in the same prior-year period, driven primarily by a lower net loss.  AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $39.6 million compared to a deficit of $21.3 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to a lower net loss.

Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $50.7 million during the same prior-year period.  Total capital expenditures decreased $6.4 million, or 20.1%, to $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same prior-year period.

Dividends
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid cash dividends of $14.3 million, including $14.0 million on our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and $0.3 million for vested restricted share units granted to employees.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2021, our liquidity position included unrestricted cash of $529.0 million and $497.9 million of availability under our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $2.1 million of issued letters of credit against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the revolving credit facility.  During the three months ended June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021, 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 25.0 million shares. Total indebtedness as of June 30, 2021 was $2.7 billion, excluding $30.1 million of debt issuance costs, and includes a $600.0 million term loan and $2.1 billion of senior unsecured notes.

COVID-19 Pandemic
The ongoing 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 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic may, among other things, (i) reduce or curtail our customers' advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services through purchase cancellations or otherwise; (ii) increase the volatility of our customers' advertising expenditure patterns from period-to-period through short-notice purchases, purchase deferrals or otherwise; and (iii) delay the collection of certain 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 2021. As a result of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, we expect our key performance indicators and total revenues to incrementally improve throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020, but be materially lower in 2021 than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, particularly in our U.S. Media segment and with respect to our transit and other business. We expect total expenses to increase throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020, but be materially lower than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, particularly in our U.S. Media segment and with respect to our transit and other business. Additionally, we expect billboard property lease expenses, such as rental expenses, and posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to decrease throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020. We expect transit franchise expenses, such as transit franchise payments, as a percentage of revenues, to increase throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020, and be materially higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, primarily due to our guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA, which resumed on January 1, 2021. The impacts described above with respect to 2020 were greatest in the second quarter of 2020, with incremental improvement in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. Accordingly, results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. In addition, in order to preserve financial flexibility, increase liquidity and reduce expenses in light of the uncertainty in the global economy and our business, we modified our business goals and undertook several actions to date, including, among other things, issuing the Series A Preferred Stock and certain senior unsecured notes, amending the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to modify the calculation of our financial maintenance covenant ratio, suspending our quarterly dividend payments on our common stock for a period of time as described above, and reducing SG&A and posting, maintenance and other expenses. There remains 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, which will depend on numerous factors, including, among others, the emergence of new cases of COVID-19 or its variants, hospitalization and mortality rates, and the availability and distribution of safe and effective treatments and vaccines. Accordingly, we 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.

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 a disposition 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 (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. 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 and losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, a gain on disposition of 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, 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 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.
