CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.

Certain prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets; operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; defined-benefit plan obligations; the allowance for credit losses; assessment of lease and non-lease contract expenses; measurement of compensation cost for bonus and other compensation plans; and litigation accruals.

Asset Acquisitions

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Company completed several acquisitions of out-of-home advertising assets, which included permits, land, permanent easements and digital billboard structures, ~~land, indefinite-lived permits and permanent easements,~~ for total cash consideration of ~~$24.3~~$52.0 million.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform

For the last several years, there has been an ongoing effort amongst regulators, standard setters, financial institutions and other market participants to replace interbank offered rates, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with alternative reference rates. In the United States (“U.S.”), the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has formally recommended forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term rates as the replacement for USD LIBOR, while various other risk-free rates have been selected to replace LIBOR for other currencies. After December 31, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, LIBOR’s administrator, ceased publication of certain LIBOR rates, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates will be published through June 30, 2023. The Company will continue to work with the administrative agents of its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Receivables-Based Credit Facility to agree on replacement rates but does not expect the replacement of LIBOR to result in a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, in order to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform initiatives. The update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP contract modification accounting to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met and may be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is assessing whether it will use these optional expedients and exceptions but does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company will continue to monitor and assess regulatory developments during the transition period.

ASU 2021-10

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires disclosures that increase the transparency of certain transactions with governments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect to be materially impacted by the implementation of this ASU.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT DATA

The Company has 2two reportable segments, which it believes best reflect how the Company is currently managed: Americas and Europe. The Americas segment consists of operations primarily in the U.S., and the Europe segment consists of operations in Europe and Singapore. The Company’s remaining operating segment, Latin America, does not meet the quantitative threshold to qualify as a reportable segment and is disclosed as “Other” herein. Each segment provides out-of-home advertising services in its respective geographic region using various digital and traditional display types, consisting primarily of billboards, street furniture displays and transit displays.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to, and assessing performance of, each reportable segment. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring and other costs, which are defined as costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs and other special costs. Segment information for total assets is not presented as this information is not used by the Company’s CODM in measuring segment performance or allocating resources between the Company’s segments.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising space on printed and digital out-of-home advertising displays. Certain of these revenue transactions are considered leases for accounting purposes as the contracts convey to customers the right to control the use of the Company’s advertising displays for a period of time. The Company accounts for revenue from leases in accordance with the lease accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. All remaining revenue transactions are accounted for as revenue from contracts with customers under ASC Topic 606.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies ~~in each case~~ related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes, employment and benefits related claims, land use and zoning disputes, governmental fines, intellectual property claims and tax disputes.

China Investigation

~~NaN~~Two former employees of Clear Media Limited (“Clear Media”), a former indirect, non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, have been convicted in China of certain crimes, including the crime of misappropriation of Clear Media funds, and sentenced to imprisonment. The Company is not aware of any litigation, claim or assessment pending against the Company in relation to this proceeding.

The Company advised both the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") of the investigation of Clear Media and is cooperating to provide documents, interviews and information to these agencies. Subsequent to the announcement that the Company was considering a strategic review of its stake in Clear Media, in March 2020, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. received a subpoena from the staff of the SEC and a Grand Jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, both in connection with the previously disclosed investigations. On April 28, 2020, the Company tendered the shares representing its 50.91% stake in Clear Media to Ever Harmonic Global Limited (“Ever Harmonic”), a special-purpose vehicle wholly-owned by a consortium of investors, which includes the chief executive officer and an executive director of Clear Media, and on May 14, 2020, the Company received the final proceeds of the sale. In connection with the sale of its shares in Clear Media, the Company entered into an Investigation and Litigation Support Agreement with Clear Media and Ever Harmonic that required Clear Media, if requested by the SEC and/or the DOJ, to use reasonable efforts to timely provide relevant factual information to the SEC and/or the DOJ, among other obligations. The Investigation and Litigation Support Agreement expired in March 2022.

In connection with its investigation, the SEC has also requested information regarding the Company’s historical oversight of its business in Italy and the misstatements and related forensic investigation. The Company is cooperating to provide documents and information responsive to the SEC’s inquiries and is voluntarily sharing the documents and information with the DOJ.

The SEC and DOJ investigation could implicate the books and records, internal controls and anti-bribery provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which statute and regulations provide for potential monetary penalties as well as criminal and civil sanctions. As previously disclosed, the Company is meeting with these agencies to engage in discussions about potential resolution of these matters, including potential settlement. Based on the discussions to date, the Company recorded an estimated liability during the first quarter of 2022 to account for a potential resolution of these matters. However, at this time, the Company cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome of these discussions, including whether a settlement will be reached, the amount of any potential monetary payments or the scope of injunctive or other relief, the results of which may be materially adverse to the Company, its financial condition and its results of operations. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate, or provide any assurance regarding, the amount of any potential loss in excess of the amount accrued relating to this investigation.

Share-Based Compensation

On May 4, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of 5.2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 1.8 million performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain of its employees.

•The RSUs generally vest in 3three equal annual installments on each of April 1, 2023, April 1, 2024 and April 1, 2025, provided that the recipient is still employed by, or providing services to, the Company on each such vesting date.

•The PSUs will vest and become earned based on the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the Company’s peer group (the “Relative TSR”) over a performance period commencing on April 1, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2025 (the “Performance Period”). If the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 90th percentile or higher, the PSUs will be earned at 150% of the target number of shares; if the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 60th percentile, the PSUs will be earned at 100% of the target number of shares; if the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 30th percentile, the PSUs will be earned at 50% of the target number of shares; and if the Company achieves Relative TSR below the 30th percentile, no PSUs will be earned. To the extent Relative TSR is between achievement levels, the portion of the PSUs that is earned will be determined using straight-line interpolation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company’s absolute total shareholder return over the Performance Period is less than 0%, the maximum payout shall not be greater than 100% of the target number of shares. The PSUs are considered market-condition awards pursuant to ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (the “MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The MD&A is organized as follows:

•Overview – Discussion of the nature, key developments and trends of our business in order to provide context for the remainder of this MD&A.

•Results of Operations – Analysis of our financial results of operations at the consolidated and segment levels.

•Liquidity and Capital Resources – Analysis of our short- and long-term liquidity and discussion of our material cash requirements and the anticipated sources of funds needed to satisfy such requirements.

•Critical Accounting Estimates – Discussion of our material accounting estimates that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty, which we believe are most important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our consolidated financial statements.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” contained at the end of this MD&A.

OVERVIEW

Description of Our Business and Segments

Our revenue is derived from selling advertising space on the displays we own or operate in key markets worldwide. We have two reportable business segments, which we believe reflect how the Company is currently managed: Americas, which consists of operations primarily in the U.S., and Europe, which consists of operations in Europe and Singapore. Our remaining operating segment of Latin America does not meet the quantitative threshold to qualify as a reportable segment and is disclosed as “Other” herein. Each segment provides out-of-home advertising services in its respective geographic region using various digital and traditional display types.

In December 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a review of strategic alternatives for our European business, including a possible sale. Most recently, our Board of Directors authorized us to focus the strategic review on the potential disposal of certain of our lower-margin European assets (and/or other European assets of lower priority to our European business on the whole), while retaining, for now, our higher-margin European assets, which are performing well. However, there can be no assurance that this strategic review will result in any transaction(s) or particular outcome(s). We have not set a timetable for completion of this strategic review, may suspend the process at any time and do not intend to make further announcements regarding the process unless and until our Board of Directors approves a course of action for which further disclosure is appropriate.

Macroeconomic Indicators, Seasonality and Recent Developments

Advertising for our business is highly correlated to changes in gross domestic product (“GDP”) as advertising spending has historically trended in line with GDP, both domestically and internationally. Additionally, our international results are impacted by the economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we ~~have operations~~operate and by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. ~~Current adverse macroeconomic~~In early 2022, worldwide inflation began to increase. In response to heightened levels of inflation, central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and ~~geopolitical conditions, including heightened inflation and higher~~the European Central Bank, have increased interest rates, ~~could also adversely affect~~resulting in an increase in our ~~results.~~weighted average cost of debt. Additionally, the U.S. dollar has significantly strengthened against the Euro and British pound sterling, resulting in an adverse impact on reported results in our Europe segment. The U.S. dollar may continue to strengthen against these foreign currencies if the Federal Reserve further raises the federal funds rate, which may result in downstream impacts to global exchange rates and further adverse impacts to our reported results in our Europe segment. While inflation has affected our performance in 2022, resulting in higher costs for wages, salaries, materials and equipment, we believe we have partially offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates for most of our out-of-home display faces, and to date, we have not suffered material impacts from the heightened levels of inflation experienced at a global level. The market risks that our business is subject to are further described in Item 3 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

Due to seasonality, the results for the interim period are not indicative of expected results for the full year. We typically experience our weakest financial performance in the first quarter of the calendar year, which is generally offset during the remainder of the year as our business typically experiences its strongest performance in the second and fourth quarters of the calendar year.

As described in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, COVID-19 had a significant adverse impact on our results of operations during the first quarter of 2021, and we did not experience a return to our pre-COVID-19 historical seasonal levels of revenue until the fourth quarter of 2021. To a large extent, we ~~continued to experience~~have experienced similar, or have exceeded, pre-COVID-19 levels of activity during the first ~~half~~nine months of 2022. As our operating performance has improved, we have ceased certain of the temporary operating cost savings initiatives we implemented in response to COVID-19 and have increased our investment in our business through additional capital expenditures.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion of our results of operations is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis.

•Our operating segment profit measure is Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring and other costs, which are defined as costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs and other special costs. The material components of Segment Adjusted EBITDA are discussed below on both a consolidated and segment basis.

•Corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, other operating income and expense, all non-operating income and expenses, and income taxes are managed on a total company basis and are, therefore, included only in our discussion of consolidated results.

Revenue and expenses “excluding the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates” in this MD&A are presented because management believes that viewing certain financial results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates facilitates period-to-period comparisons of business performance and provides useful information to investors. Revenue and expenses “excluding the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates” are calculated by converting the current period’s revenue and expenses in local currency to U.S. dollars using average foreign exchange rates for the comparable period.

Consolidated Revenue

~~During the first half of 2021, revenue throughout our business was adversely affected by COVID-19.~~

•Consolidated revenue increased ~~$112.3~~$6.5 million, or ~~21.1%~~1.1%, during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

Other Operating Expense (Income), Net

~~For~~Other operating expense, net, of $3.8 million during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 ~~and 2021, we recognized other operating expense, net, of $1.4 million and other operating income, net, of $1.7 million, respectively.

Higher employee compensation costs due to improvements in operating performance and, to a lesser extent, lower governmental support and wage ~~subsidies. This was~~subsidies were partially offset by lower costs for our restructuring plan to reduce headcount.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Analysis

Short-Term Liquidity

Our main cash requirements are for working capital used to fund the operations of the business, capital expenditures and debt service. We typically meet these requirements with cash on hand, internally-generated cash flow from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our credit facilities. We believe that our current sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Long-Term Liquidity

Our long-term future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including the growth of our business, the outcome of our restructuring plans, investments in new technologies and the pursuit and outcome of strategic opportunities, including the outcome of the strategic review of our European business. In addition, we have long-term cash requirements related to the repayment of our outstanding debt, which is scheduled to mature over the next ~~eight~~seven years. We believe that our sources of funds will be adequate to meet our cash requirements in the long-term.

However, our ability to meet these cash requirements through cash from operations will depend on our future operating results and financial performance, which are subject to significant uncertainty and ~~may be~~are affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions, as well as macro-economic events such as heightened inflation, higher interest rates and currency fluctuations. These market risks are further described in Item 3 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other factors that may affect our future results and financial performance and, therefore, our long-term liquidity are geopolitical events such as the war in Ukraine, ~~heightened inflation,~~ slower economic growth or recession ~~changes~~and persistent challenges to ~~fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates,~~the supply chain. Other than currency fluctuations, ~~and challenges in the supply chain.~~none of these events have had a material effect on our results to date. Additionally, our significant interest payment obligations reduce our financial flexibility, make us more vulnerable to changes in operating performance and economic downturns generally and reduce our liquidity over time.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

We regularly consider, and enter into discussions with our lenders related to, potential financing alternatives. In the future, we may need to obtain supplemental liquidity through additional financing from banks or other lenders, public offerings or private placements of debt or equity, strategic relationships or other arrangements, or from a combination of these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing alternatives will be available to us in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us in the future due to market conditions, our financial condition, our liquidity constraints or other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and even if financing alternatives are available to us, we may not find them suitable or at reasonable interest rates. In addition, the terms of our existing or future debt agreements may restrict us from securing financing on terms that are available to us at that time or at all.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash through our operations or obtain sources of supplemental liquidity as needed, we could face substantial liquidity problems, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and on our ability to meet our obligations.

Cash Requirements

Working Capital Needs

We utilize working capital to fund the operations of our business and have certain related contractual obligations, including commitments under site leases, other non-cancelable contracts and ~~our~~ restructuring ~~plan.~~plans.

Site Lease Expense

One of our largest cash requirements is for site lease costs, which includes payments for land or space used by our displays, including minimum guaranteed payments and revenue-sharing arrangements. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred site lease expense of ~~$454.7~~$680.6 million and ~~$383.8~~$590.1 million, respectively, which are included within direct operating expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Loss. In order to better align fixed site lease expenses with the reductions in revenue we experienced due to COVID-19, we successfully renegotiated contracts with landlords and municipalities in both the U.S. and Europe. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we reduced our site lease expense by rent abatements of $39.2 million and $78.9 million, respectively. As our business continues to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are receiving fewer rent abatements.

Restructuring Plans

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, we made cash expenditures for ~~our~~ restructuring plans to reduce headcount of ~~$11.6~~$11.2 million and ~~$8.0~~$12.4 million, respectively, and as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had ~~$12.6~~$10.1 million of ~~related~~ future cash ~~obligations.~~obligations related to our Europe restructuring plan. We expect to pay most of this ~~liability this year, although payments may be made through~~balance by the end of the second quarter of ~~2023 in accordance with the terms of the restructuring plan.~~2023. Please refer to Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements located in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.

Capital Expenditures and Asset Acquisitions

(1)Excludes asset acquisitions

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we reduced or deferred capital expenditures as part of our strategy to increase our liquidity and preserve and strengthen our financial flexibility given the adverse financial impacts and economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19. As our operating performance has improved, we have increased our investment in our business through capital expenditures.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we completed several acquisitions of out-of-home advertising assets in our Americas segment, which included permits, land, permanent easements and digital billboard structures, ~~land, indefinite-lived permits and permanent easements,~~ for total cash consideration of ~~$24.3~~$52.0 million. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, cash paid for asset acquisitions was ~~$1.5~~$3.3 million.

As reported within the “Proceeds from disposal of assets” line on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, our cash outflows for capital expenditures and asset acquisitions in the Americas during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 were partially offset by compensation received from local governments for the condemnation and removal of billboards in certain markets.

Debt Service Obligations

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, we paid interest of ~~$161.3~~$217.8 million and ~~$212.0~~$264.4 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily driven by the payment of accrued interest due upon redemption of the CCWH Senior Notes in the first half of 2021, as well as lower interest rates on the refinanced debt. We anticipate having cash interest payments of ~~$179.9~~$123.5 million during the remainder of the year, assuming current interest rates do not change and that we do not refinance or incur additional debt.

Additionally, during each of the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, we made ~~$10.0~~$15.0 million of principal payments on the Term Loan Facility in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and expect to make an additional principal ~~payments totaling $10.0~~payment of $5.0 million during the remainder of the year.

Please refer to Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements located in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details on our outstanding long-term debt. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in our debt agreements.

Sources of Capital and Liquidity

Cash On Hand

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had ~~$314.6~~$327.4 million of cash on our balance sheet, including ~~$105.1~~$114.5 million of cash held outside the U.S. by our subsidiaries. Excess cash from our foreign operations may be transferred to our operations in the U.S. if needed to fund operations in the U.S., subject to the foreseeable cash needs of our foreign operations and restrictions in the indenture governing the CCIBV Senior Secured Notes. We could presently repatriate excess cash with minimal U.S. tax consequences, as calculated for tax law purposes, and dividend distributions from our international subsidiaries may be exempt from U.S. federal income tax.

Cash Flow from Operations

We have historically generated positive net cash flow from operations. However, we used net cash for operating activities during the periods in which we were negatively impacted by COVID-19, specifically 2021 and 2020, as cash paid for interest in these periods exceeded other net cash inflows from operations. We returned to positive operating cash flows in ~~the first half of~~ 2022 as strong cash collections from customers, driven by improvements in revenue and our continued recovery from COVID-19, exceeded aggregate cash payments to vendors, lessors, employees and lenders.

•During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$19.2~~$114.0 million. Higher cash collections from customers more than offset increased cash payments driven by higher site lease, employee compensation and other costs. Additionally, cash paid for interest of ~~$161.3~~$217.8 million was lower than interest paid during the same period of the prior year due to the refinancing of the CCWH Senior Notes, as previously described.

•During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, net cash used for operating activities was ~~$232.2 million, primarily driven by cash~~$154.3 million. Cash paid for interest ~~of $212.0~~was $264.4 million, which included accrued and unpaid interest of $34.5 million due upon redemption of the CCWH Senior Notes. ~~Additionally, during this period, due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on sales and~~Cash collections from customers exceeded cash payments to vendors (including site lease costs) and our ~~employees exceeded~~employees; however, collections earlier in the period lagged primarily due to COVID-19’s impact on fourth quarter 2020 and first quarter 2021 sales. Additionally, cash ~~collections~~payments during the period included the payment of site lease costs that were deferred from ~~customers.~~2020.

Credit Facilities

We have access to a Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables-Based Credit Facility, both of which include sub-facilities for letters of credit and short-term borrowings and are scheduled to mature on August 23, 2024. The table below presents our borrowings and excess availability under our credit facilities as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022:

Debt Activity

In February 2021, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of CCOH 7.75% Senior Notes Due 2028 and, in March 2021, used the net proceeds therefrom to redeem $940.0 million of the CCWH Senior Notes at 104.625% of their principal amount. In June 2021, we issued $1.05 billion aggregate principal amount of CCOH 7.5% Senior Notes Due 2029 and used the net proceeds therefrom to redeem the remaining outstanding $961.5 million of CCWH Senior Notes, also at 104.625% of their principal amount. Additionally in June 2021, a non-guarantor European subsidiary borrowed €30.0 million through a state-guaranteed loan program established in response to COVID-19.

We did not enter into any significant debt transactions during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. In April 2022, as permitted under the terms of the loan agreement, we elected to extend the maturity date of the €30.0 million European state-guaranteed loan to June 29, 2027, with quarterly principal repayments of €1.875 million due beginning in September 2023. The annual interest rate on this loan for periods after June 2022 is 0.7% (with no interest due prior thereto), and the annual cost of the state guarantee ~~will be~~is 1.0% of the outstanding loan amount through June 29, 2024 and 2.0% of the outstanding loan amount for the remainder of the loan term.

Debt Covenants

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains a springing financial covenant, applicable solely to the Revolving Credit Facility if the balance of the Revolving Credit Facility is greater than $0 and undrawn letters of credit exceed $10 million, that requires compliance with a first lien leverage ratio of ~~7.60 to 1.00, with a step-down to~~ 7.10 to 1.00, ~~scheduled to commence the last day of the fiscal quarter ending~~a step-down that commenced on September 30, 2022. Our first lien leverage ratio, which is calculated by dividing first lien debt by EBITDA (as defined by the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) for the preceding four quarters, was 4.98 to 1.00 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. First lien debt and EBITDA are presented herein because they are material components of the calculation of the first lien leverage ratio.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Company management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates, management's judgments and assumptions, and ~~the effect~~effects if actual results differ from these assumptions disclosed in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2021, except that the critical accounting estimate set forth under, “Annual Impairment Tests” is updated as follows:

Table of Contents

Annual Impairment Tests

We perform impairment tests on indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill at least annually, as of July 1 of each year, and more frequently as events or changes in circumstances warrant. During the second quarter of 2022, we performed an impairment test on certain of our indefinite-lived billboard permits due to rising interest rates and inflation, resulting in an impairment charge of $21.8 million. Additionally, we performed our annual impairment tests on indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill as of July 1, 2022, which resulted in an impairment charge of $0.9 million on our permanent easements. As of September 30, 2022, there were no indicators of impairment.

Management’s judgements and assumptions used in our impairment tests are detailed below. The assumptions used to perform our impairment tests are not indicative of future results. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and utilized appropriate assumptions to calculate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets and reporting units, it is possible that a material change could occur. If future results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or if the current macroeconomic situation worsens, we may be exposed to additional impairment charges in the future.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

We review our indefinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment using the direct valuation method as prescribed in ASC 805-20-S99. Our key assumptions using the direct valuation method are market revenue growth rates, market share, profit margin, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up capital costs and losses incurred during the build-up period, the risk-adjusted discount rate and terminal values. This data is populated using industry-normalized information representing an average asset within a market, and we engage a third-party valuation firm to assist with the development of our assumptions used to determine the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

In determining the fair value of our billboard permits as of July 1, 2022, we used the following key assumptions:

•Industry revenue growth forecasts used for the initial four-year period, which varied by market, started with the trailing twelve month forecast period ending July 1, 2022, and annual revenue growth on average of 6.1% was assumed from year two to year four;

•Revenue growth beyond the initial four-year period was assumed to be 3.0%;

•Revenue grew over a build-up period, reaching maturity by the second year;

•The operating industry average margin was assumed to be 39%; and

•The assumed discount rate was 11.5%.

The following table shows the decrease in the fair value of our billboard permits that would have resulted from decreases of 100 basis points in our discrete and terminal period revenue growth rate and profit margin assumptions and an increase of 100 basis points in our discount rate assumption as of the impairment testing date:


(In thousands)	Revenue growth rate		Profit margin		Discount rate
Decrease in fair value of billboard permits:	(100 basis point decrease)		(100 basis point decrease)		(100 basis point increase)
As of July 1, 2022(1)	$	(375,000)	$	(101,500)	$	(383,200)

(1) The change in each assumption as of July 1, 2022 would have resulted in impairment charges of $48.4 million, $29.5 million and $48.9 million, respectively.

Goodwill

The discounted cash flow approach that we use for valuing goodwill as part of the impairment testing approach involves estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the related assets, discounted to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Terminal values are also estimated and discounted to their present value. Assessing the recoverability of goodwill requires us to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates based on our budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data.

We performed our annual impairment test as of July 1, 2022 in accordance with ASC 350-30-35, which did not result in any goodwill impairment. In determining the fair value of our reporting units, we used the following assumptions:

•Expected cash flows underlying our business plans for the initial four-year period were based on detailed, multi-year forecasts performed by each of our operating segments and reflect the advertising outlook across our businesses;

•Cash flows were projected to grow at a perpetual growth rate, which we estimated at 3.0%; and

Table of Contents

•In order to risk-adjust the cash flow projections in determining fair value, we utilized a discount rate for each of our reporting units ranging from 11.0% to 12.0%.

Based on our assessment using the assumptions described above, a hypothetical 10% reduction in the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units with goodwill would not have resulted in a material impairment condition.

The following table shows the decrease in the fair value of each of our reporting units with goodwill that would have resulted from decreases of 100 basis points in our discrete and terminal period revenue growth rate and profit margin assumptions and an increase of 100 basis points in our discount rate assumption as of July 1, 2022:


(In thousands)	Revenue growth rate		Profit margin		Discount rate
Decrease in fair value of reporting unit:	(100 basis point decrease)(1)		(100 basis point decrease)(1)		(100 basis point increase)(1)
Americas	$	(610,000)	$	(160,000)	$	(510,000)
Europe	(120,000)		(110,000)		(80,000)

(1) Changes to our assumptions by these amounts would not have resulted in goodwill impairment as the fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit would still be greater than its carrying value.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and inflation, which are generally interrelated.

In early 2022, worldwide inflation began to increase as a result of various factors, including COVID-19-related fiscal and monetary stimulus, supply chain shortages and, more recently, the war in Ukraine. In response to heightened levels of inflation, central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have increased interest rates. Governments may continue to increase interest rates to combat inflation. Additionally, the U.S. dollar has significantly strengthened against certain foreign currencies and could continue to strengthen as the Federal Reserve further raises the federal funds rate, resulting in downstream impacts to global exchange rates.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, rising interest rates and inflation have resulted in impairment charges of $21.8 million on certain of our indefinite-lived billboard permits and $0.9 million on permanent easements in our Americas segment. Although there were no indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2022, continued increases in interest rates and heightened inflation may result in additional impairment charges or have other adverse effects on our results of operations, as further described below.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have operations in America, Europe, Singapore and Latin America. Foreign operations are measured in their local currencies, and as a result, our financial results ~~could be~~are affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we have operations. ~~Changes in economic or political conditions in any~~The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the local currencies of many of our foreign ~~countries in which we operate could result in exchange rate movement, new currency or exchange controls or other currency restrictions being imposed.~~operations, most notably the British pound sterling and Euro, negatively impacted our reported Europe Segment Adjusted EBITDA by $2.9 million and $7.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Our ~~foreign operations~~Europe segment reported ~~net losses~~Segment Adjusted EBITDA of ~~$14.2~~$15.1 million and ~~$65.6~~$45.9 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, respectively. We estimate that aan additional 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have decreased our ~~net losses~~Europe Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 by ~~$1.4~~$1.5 million and ~~$6.6~~$4.6 million, respectively, and a 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have increased our ~~net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022~~Europe Segment Adjusted EBITDA by corresponding amounts. This analysis does not consider the implications that such currency fluctuations could have on the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment in the U.S. or such foreign countries or on the results of operations of these foreign entities. Changes in economic or political conditions in any of the foreign countries in which we operate could result in exchange rate movement, new currency or exchange controls or other currency restrictions being imposed.

Interest Rate Risk

A portion of our long-term debt bears interest at variable rates, and as a result, our financial results are affected by changes in interest rates. As interest rates have continued to rise this year, we have seen an increase in our weighted average cost of ~~June~~debt from 5.6% at December 31, 2021 to 6.5% at September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, approximately 34% of our aggregate principal amount of long-term debt bore interest at floating rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings and a 100 basis point increase in LIBOR, it is estimated that our interest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 would have increased by ~~$4.9~~$5.0 million and ~~$9.8~~$14.8 million, respectively.

In connection with the phasing-out of LIBOR, we will continue to work with the administrative agents under our credit agreements to agree on replacement rates. At this time, we do not expect the replacement of LIBOR to result in a material impact to our financial statements. In the event of an adverse change If further increases in interest rates materially affect interest expense, Company management may take actions to mitigate our exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the preceding interest rate sensitivity analysis assumes no such actions. Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

Inflation Risk

Inflation is a factor in the economies in which we do business, and we continue to seek ways to mitigate its effects. Current heightened levels of global inflation may result in higher costs and decreased margins and earnings. Inflation has affected our performance ~~as it has resulted~~in 2022, resulting in higher costs for wages, salaries, materials and equipment. Although the exact impact of inflation is indeterminable, we believe we have partially offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates offor most of our out-of-home display ~~faces.~~faces, and to date, we have not suffered material impacts from the heightened levels of inflation experienced at a global level. In addition, our site leases, which are long-term in nature, are less impacted by short-term swings in inflation.

In addition, due to rising interest rates and inflation, we performed an impairment test on certain of our indefinite-lived billboard permits as of June 30, 2022, resulting in an impairment charge of $21.8 million in our Americas segment. Continued increases in interest rates and heightened inflation may result in additional impairment charges or have other adverse effects on our results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of Company management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
