The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. As described below, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization (as defined below), the consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date (as defined below), are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s reportable segments are:


▪	~~Audio, which provides media and entertainment services via broadcast and digital delivery, and also includes the Company’s events and national syndication businesses and~~


▪	Audio & Media Services, which provides other audio and media services, including the Company’s media representation business, Katz Media Group (“Katz Media”) and the Company's provider of scheduling and broadcast software, Radio Computing Services (“RCS”).

(UNAUDITED)

The Company's revenue in the latter half of the month ended March 31, 2020 and in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was significantly and negatively impacted as a result of a decline in advertising spend driven by COVID-19, and the Company's management took proactive actions to expand the Company’s financial flexibility by reducing expenses and preserving cash as a result of such impact.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company continues to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on its business. For more information on the expected benefits of the CARES Act on the Company's income tax liabilities, see Note 8, Income Taxes.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately ~~$646.8~~$517.7 million in cash, which includes the ~~$350.0~~$235.0 million borrowed under the ABL ~~Facility.~~Facility that was subsequently repaid in July 2020 using the proceeds of the $450.0 million issuance of incremental term loans. While the Company expects COVID-19 to negatively impact the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the Company, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Based on the plans that the Company has put in place, it expects to be able to meet its obligations as they become due over the coming year.

As discussed below, the Company applied fresh start accounting as of May 1, 2019 in connection with its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which required stating the Company’s assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and goodwill, at estimated fair values. Such fair values recorded in fresh start accounting reflected the economic conditions in place at the time of emergence.

As a result of uncertainty related to COVID-19 and its negative impact on the Company's business and the public trading values of its debt and equity, the Company was required to perform interim impairment tests on its long-lived assets, intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, ~~2020 because such factors indicated that~~2020. The interim impairment tests resulted in a non-cash impairment of the Company's ~~long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill balances may be impaired. The estimated fair value of the Company’s~~ Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) licenses ~~which have indefinite lives, was below their carrying values, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge~~ of $502.7 ~~million. As discussed, the United States economy is undergoing a period of economic disruption~~million and uncertainty, which has caused, among other things, lower consumer and business spending. These disruptions and the continuing impact of adverse economic, financial and industry conditions on the demand for advertising negatively impacted the key assumptions in the discounted cash flow models used to value FCC licenses.

The Company also performed interim goodwill impairment tests as of March 31, 2020. The estimated fair value of one of the reporting units was below its carrying value, which required the Company to compare the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill with its carrying value. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 billion to reduce goodwill. ~~The macroeconomic factors discussed above had an adverse effect~~

Based on ~~the estimated~~management’s forecasted future cash flows and ~~discount rates used in the discounted cash flow model.~~

~~The Company used the best information available to estimate fair~~assessment of market values of ~~its long-lived assets,~~the Company’s debt and equity securities, market interest rates affecting the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) and other economic factors, additional interim impairment testing of the Company's intangible assets and ~~goodwill for purposes~~indefinite-lived intangible was not required as of interim impairment testing. Uncertainty regarding the full extent of the economic downturn as a result of COVID-19, as well as the timing of any recovery, may result in additional non-cash impairment charges being taken in future periods and such charges could be material.June 30, 2020. For more information, see Note 5, Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Goodwill.

Voluntary Filing under Chapter 11

As previously disclosed, on March 14, 2018, ~~(the "Petition Date"),~~ the Company, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications") and certain of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On April 28, 2018, the Company and the other Debtors filed a plan of reorganization (as amended, the “Plan of Reorganization”) and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. On January 22, 2019, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company emerged from Chapter 11 and effectuated a series of transactions through which Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. ("CCOH"), its parent Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with CCOH and CCH, the “Outdoor Group”) were separated from, and ceased to be controlled by, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Separation”). All of the Company's equity existing as of the Effective Date was canceled on such date pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

Upon the Company's emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company adopted fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date, are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date.

References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company after the Effective Date. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date.

During the Predecessor period, the Company applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during 2019 related ~~to the Chapter 11 Cases,~~

to the Chapter 11 Cases, including professional fees incurred directly as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the Predecessor period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. In the first quarter of 2020, in connection with a reorganization of the Company’s management structure after the Separation and emergence from the Chapter 11 cases, the Company reevaluated the classification of certain expenses to determine whether such expenses should be included within Direct operating expenses, Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses or Corporate expenses. As a result, certain expenses were reclassified from Corporate expenses to Direct operating or SG&A expenses. In addition, certain expenses were reclassified from SG&A expenses to Direct operating expenses. The reclassifications had no impact on the Company's Operating Income (Loss) or Net ~~Loss.~~Income (Loss). Accordingly, the Company recast the corresponding amounts in the prior period to conform to the current expense classifications. The corresponding current and prior period segment disclosures were recast to reflect the current expense classifications. See Note 10, Segment Data.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

During the second quarter of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and finalized amendments to FASB ASC Subtopic 825-15, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). The amendments of ASU 2016-13 are intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information related to expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit by replacing the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. The amendments of ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, in turn, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not specify the method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate. Additionally, the amendments of ASU 2016-13 require that credit losses on available for sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The Company adopted the updated guidance in the first quarter of 2020 utilizing the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in the recognition of estimated credit loss reserves against certain available-for-sale debt securities from third-parties held by the Company.

Upon adoption, the Company recognized a $1.5 million cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings to reflect expected credit losses in relation to notes receivable held by the Company. In addition, the Company evaluated the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the collectability of its notes receivable from third-parties. To develop an estimate of the present value of expected cash flows of notes receivable, the Company used a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. As a result of this analysis, the Company recognized an additional credit loss reserve against available-for-sale debt securities of

~~$5.6~~ $5.6 million, which was recognized within Loss on investments, net in the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Loss ~~as of March 31,~~for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit ~~losses.~~

~~In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04,~~ ~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting~~. This guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease entities’ financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not expected to be material.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, hybrid taxes and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. For public companies, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in interim or annual periods with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, entities that elect early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. Amendments are to be applied prospectively, except for certain amendments that are to be applied either retrospectively or with a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings. The Company early adopted this standard, which did not have significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Trade and Barter

Trade and barter transactions represent the exchange of advertising spots for merchandise, services, advertising and promotion or other assets in the ordinary course of business. The transaction price for these contracts is measured at the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration received unless this is not reasonably estimable, in which case the consideration is measured based on the standalone selling price of the advertising spots promised to the customer. Trade and barter revenues and expenses from continuing operations, which are included in consolidated revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, were as follows:

NOTE 4 – LEASES

The Company enters into operating lease contracts for land, buildings, structures and other equipment. Arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine whether such arrangements contain a lease. Operating leases primarily include land and building lease contracts and leases of radio towers. Arrangements to lease building space consist primarily of the rental of office space, but may also include leases of other equipment, including automobiles and copiers. Operating leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet within Operating lease right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") and the related short-term and long-term liabilities are included within Current and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively.

The Company's finance leases are included within Property, plant and equipment with the related liabilities included within Long-term debt.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company tests for impairment of right of use assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $5.4 million related to a decision by management to abandon and sublease one of its operating leases.

The implicit rate within the Company's lease agreements is generally not determinable. As such, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The IBR, as defined in ASC 842, is "the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment."

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses in its Audio segment.

The Company performs its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including FCC licenses, as of July 1 of each year. In addition, the Company tests for impairment of intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.

The Company applied fresh start accounting as of May 1, 2019 in connection with its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy which required stating the Company’s intangible assets at estimated fair value. Such fair values recorded in fresh start accounting reflected the economic conditions in place at the time of emergence. The economic downturn in March 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the trading values of the Company’s publicly-traded debt and equity and on the Company's first quarter 2020 results, and the continuing uncertainty surrounding the duration and magnitude of the economic impact of the pandemic has had a negative impact on the Company's forecasted future cash flows. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment test as of March 31, 2020 on its indefinite-lived FCC licenses.

For purposes of initial recording in fresh start accounting and for annual impairment testing purposes, our FCC licenses are valued using the direct valuation approach, with the key assumptions being forecasted 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.

In estimating the fair value of its FCC licenses, the Company obtained the most recent broadcast radio industry revenue projections which consider the impact of COVID-19 on future broadcast radio advertising revenue. Such projections reflect a significant and negative impact from COVID-19. In addition to using these broadcast radio industry revenue projections, the Company used various sources to analyze media and broadcast industry market forecasts and other data in developing the assumptions used for purposes of performing impairment testing on our FCC licenses as of March 31, 2020. As a result of COVID-19, the United States economy is undergoing a period of economic disruption and uncertainty, which has caused, among other things, lower consumer and business spending. The uncertainty surrounding the demand for advertising negatively impacted the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models used to value the Company's FCC licenses. Considerations in developing these assumptions included the extent of the economic downturn, ranges of expected timing of recovery, discount rates and other factors. As a result of the Company’s assessment the estimated fair value of FCC licenses was determined to be below their carrying ~~values.~~values as of March 31, 2020. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Successor Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $502.7 million on its FCC licenses.

Based on management’s forecasted future cash flows and assessment of market values of the Company’s debt and equity securities, market interest rates affecting the Company’s WACC and other economic factors, no additional interim impairment charge to the Company's indefinite-lived intangible was required as of June 30, 2020.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Predecessor Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $91.4 million in relation to indefinite-lived FCC licenses as a result of an increase in the weighted average cost of capital used in performing the annual impairment test.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consists of definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily include customer and advertiser relationships, talent and representation contracts, trademarks and tradenames and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time that the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets. These assets are recorded at amortized cost.

The Company tests for possible impairment of other intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that they might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. When specific assets are determined to be unrecoverable, the cost basis of the asset is reduced to reflect the current fair market value.

The Company applied fresh start accounting as of May 1, 2019 in connection with its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy which required stating the Company’s intangible assets at estimated fair value. Such fair values recorded in fresh start accounting reflected the economic conditions in place at the time of emergence. The economic downturn in March 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the Company's first quarter 2020 results, and the continuing uncertainty surrounding the duration and magnitude of the economic impact of the pandemic has had a negative impact on the Company's forecasted future cash flows. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment ~~test~~tests as of March 31, 2020 on its other intangible assets. Based on the Company’s test of recoverability using estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying values of the Company’s definite-lived intangible assets were determined to be recoverable, and no impairment was recognized.

Goodwill Impairment

At least annually, the Company performs its impairment test for each reporting unit’s goodwill. The Company also tests goodwill at interim dates if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

As described in Note 1, the economic disruption as a result of COVID-19 had a significant impact to the trading values of the Company’s publicly-traded debt and equity and on the Company's results in the latter half of the month ended March 31, 2020. In addition, the Company expects that the pandemic will continue to impact the operating and economic environment of our customers and will impact the near-term spending decisions of advertisers. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment test on its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2020.

The goodwill impairment test requires measurement of the fair value of the Company's reporting units, which is compared to the carrying value of the reporting units, including goodwill. Each reporting unit is valued using a discounted cash flow model which requires estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the reporting unit, 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 estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates based on budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. As with the impairment testing performed on the Company’s FCC licenses described above, the significant deterioration in market conditions and uncertainty in the markets impacted the assumptions used to estimate the discounted future cash flows of the Company’s reporting units for purposes of performing the interim goodwill impairment test. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying these factors.

As discussed above, the carrying values of the Company’s reporting units were based on estimated fair values determined upon our emergence from bankruptcy on May 1, 2019, and the rapid deterioration in economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lower estimated fair values determined in connection with our interim goodwill impairment testing as of March 31, 2020. The estimated fair value of one of the Company's reporting units was below its carrying value, including goodwill. The macroeconomic factors discussed above had an adverse effect on the Company's estimated cash flows used in the discounted cash flow model. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to reduce goodwill. The macroeconomic factors discussed above had an adverse effect on the Company's estimated cash flows used in the discounted cash flow model.

IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

While management believes the estimates and assumptions utilized to calculate the fair value of the Company's tangible and intangible long-lived assets, indefinite-lived FCC licenses and reporting units are reasonable, it is possible a material change could occur to the estimated fair value of these assets. Uncertainty regarding the full extent of the economic downturn as a result of COVID-19, as well as the timing of any recovery, may result in the Company's actual results not being consistent with its estimates, and the Company could be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material to its results of operations.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 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; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.

Alien Ownership Restrictions and FCC Petition for Declaratory Ruling

greater foreign ownership is in the public interest (the “Foreign Ownership Rule”). Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Company committed to file a Petition for Declaratory Ruling ("PDR") requesting the FCC to permit up to 100% of the Company's voting and equity to be owned by non-U.S. individuals and entities, but the FCC’s granting the PDR was not a condition to the Company's emergence.

The equity allocation mechanism (“Equity Allocation Mechanism”) set forth in the Plan of Reorganization was intended to enable the Company to comply with the Foreign Ownership Rule and other FCC ownership restrictions in connection with emergence. The Equity Allocation Mechanism imposed an obligation on each of the Company's former claimholders in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases (the "Claimholders") to provide written certification sufficient for the Company to determine whether issuance of common stock to such Claimholders would cause the Company to violate the Foreign Ownership Rule, and restricted the Company from issuing common stock to Claimholders such that it would cause the Company to exceed an aggregate alien ownership or voting percentage of 22.5 percent (the “22.5 Percent Threshold”).

After emerging from bankruptcy, the Company discovered that a group of Claimholders that had certified to having no foreign ownership or voting control in connection with the Equity Allocation Mechanism had subsequently undergone a separate merger transaction without our knowledge or control. As a result of this merger, these Claimholders’ interests in iHeartMedia (amounting to approximately nine percent of the Company's issued and outstanding Class A common stock) can be voted by a U.S. subsidiary of a foreign parent. The Company notified the FCC of this development in writing promptly after discovering and confirming it. The FCC responded to the Company's notification on July 9, 2019, indicating that (1) the FCC has not determined that this development is contrary to the public interest, and (2) the FCC has deemed the Company to be in compliance with the FCC’s foreign ownership reporting rules, pending its decision on the Company's PDR. On July 25, 2019 the Company filed the PDR. The FCC requested public comment on the PDR, which comment period closed on March 26, 2020. The FCC subsequently ~~has also~~ referred the PDR to Team Telecom - the interagency federal government group that analyzes requests for national security, law enforcement, and public safety issues. On June 29, 2020, Team Telecom indicated its consent to the grant by the FCC of the PDR. The Company cannot predict whether the FCC will issue a ruling granting the PDR, the amount of foreign equity and voting rights any such a ruling will allow us to have, or how long it will take to obtain such a ruling.

The income tax expense for the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) primarily consists of the income tax impacts from reorganization and fresh start adjustments, including adjustments to our valuation allowance. The Company recorded income tax benefits of $102.9 million for reorganization adjustments in the Predecessor period, primarily consisting of: (1) tax expense for the reduction in federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards from the cancellation of debt income ("CODI") realized upon emergence; (2) tax benefit for the reduction in deferred tax liabilities attributed primarily to long-term debt that was discharged upon emergence; (3) tax benefit for the effective settlement of liabilities for unrecognized tax ~~rate~~benefits that were discharged upon emergence; and (4) tax benefit for the reduction in valuation allowance resulting from the adjustments described above.The Company recorded income tax expense of $185.4 million for fresh start adjustments in the Predecessor period, consisting of $529.1 million tax expense for the increase in deferred tax liabilities resulting from fresh start accounting adjustments, which was ~~primarily impacted~~partially offset by ~~forecasted changes~~$343.7 million tax benefit for the reduction in the valuation allowance ~~recorded against~~on our deferred tax ~~assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards and interest expense limitation carryforwards in U.S. federal and certain state jurisdictions.~~assets.

While the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the enacted tax provisions as additional guidance is provided, upon the Company's initial review the provision with the most significant impact on the Company’s income taxes is the increase to the Section 163(j) interest deduction limitation and the ability to elect to use the Company’s 2019 Adjusted Taxable Income (as defined under Section 163(j)) for purposes of calculating the 2020 Section 163(j) limitation. There were several other tax provisions included in the CARES Act allowing companies more flexibility in carrying back net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 or 2020,

Special Warrants

Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization may be exercised by its holder to purchase one share of Successor Class A common stock or Successor Class B common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, unless the Company in its sole discretion believes such exercise would, alone or in combination with any other existing or proposed ownership of common stock, result in, subject to certain exceptions, (a) such exercising holder owning more than 4.99 percent of the Successor Company's outstanding Class A common stock, (b) more than 22.5 percent of the Successor Company's capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, (c) the Company exceeding any foreign ownership threshold set by the FCC pursuant to a declaratory ruling or specific approval requirement or (d) the Company violating any provision of the Communications Act or restrictions

on ownership or transfer imposed by the Company's certificate of incorporation or the decisions, rules and policies of the FCC. Any holder exercising Special Warrants must complete and timely deliver to the warrant agent the required exercise forms and certifications required under the special warrant agreement. The Communications Act and FCC regulations prohibit foreign entities or individuals from indirectly (i.e., through a parent company) owning or voting more than 25 percent of a licensee’s equity, unless the FCC determines that greater indirect foreign ownership is in the public interest. As described further in Note 7 above, on July 25, 2019, the Company filed a PDR requesting FCC consent to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership and voting benchmarks that currently apply to us, on which the FCC has requested public comment. The public comment period closed on March 26, 2020. The FCC ~~has also~~ referred our PDR to Team Telecom - the interagency federal government group that analyzes requests for national security, law enforcement, and public safety issues. On June 29, 2020, Team Telecom indicated its consent to the grant by the FCC of the PDR. We cannot predict whether the FCC will issue a ruling granting the PDR, the amount of foreign equity and voting rights any such a ruling will allow us to have, or how long it will take to obtain such a ruling.

During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, stockholders exercised ~~2,127,207~~877,263 and 3,003,854 Special Warrants for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common ~~stock.~~stock, respectively.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On May 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the adoption of a short-term stockholder rights plan (the “Stockholder Rights Plan”) in order to protect the best interests of all Company stockholders during the current period of high equity-market volatility and price disruption.

Pursuant to the stockholder rights plan, the Board has declared a dividend distribution of 1 right on each outstanding share of the Company’s ~~class~~Class A common stock, share of Class B common stock and special warrant issued in connection with the Plan of Reorganization. The record date for such dividend distribution iswas May 18, 2020.

Under the Stockholder Rights Plan, subject to certain exceptions, the rights will generally be exercisable only if, in a transaction not approved by the Board, a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Company’s Class A common stock (or 20% in the case of certain passive investors), including through such person’s ownership of the convertible Class B common stock and/or special warrants, as further detailed in the Stockholder Rights Plan. In that situation, each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person or group) will have the right to purchase, upon payment of the exercise price, a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, Class B common stock or special warrants, as applicable, having a market value of twice such price. In addition, the Stockholder Rights Plan contains a similar provision if the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination after an acquiring person acquires beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Company’s Class A common stock (or 20% in the case of certain passive investors).

The Stockholder Rights Plan has a duration of less than one year, expiring on May 5, 2021. The Stockholder Rights Plan may also be terminated, or the rights may be redeemed, by action of the Company prior to the scheduled expiration date under certain circumstances, including if the Board determines that market and other conditions warrant, which the Board intends to monitor. The adoption of the Stockholder Rights Plan will not be a taxable event and will not have any impact on the Company’s financial reporting.

~~Additional details about the stockholder rights plan will be contained in a Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the SEC.~~

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

Format of Presentation

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our primary business provides media and entertainment services via broadcast and digital delivery, including our networks businesses, through our Audio segment. We also operate businesses that provide audio and media services, through our Audio and Media Services segment, including our full-service media representation business, Katz Media Group (“Katz Media”) and our provider of scheduling and broadcast software and services, Radio Computing Services ("RCS").

Over the past ten years, we have transitioned our Audio business from a single platform radio broadcast operator to a company with multiple platforms including podcasting, networks and live events. We have also invested in numerous technologies and businesses to increase the competitiveness of our inventory with our advertisers and our ~~audience~~audience. We believe that our ability to generate cash flow from operations from our business initiatives and our current cash on hand will provide sufficient resources to fund and operate our business, fund capital expenditures and other obligations and make interest payments on our long-term debt for at least the next 12 months.

Description of our Business

Our Audio strategy centers on delivering entertaining and informative content where our listeners want to find us across multiple platforms, including broadcast, digital and live mobile, as well as events. Our primary source of revenue is derived from selling local and national advertising time on our radio stations, with contracts typically less than one year in duration. The programming formats of our radio stations are designed to reach audiences with targeted demographic characteristics. We work closely with our advertising and marketing partners to develop tools and leverage data to enable advertisers to effectively reach their desired audiences. We continue to expand the choices for listeners and we deliver our content and sell advertising across multiple distribution channels, including digitally via our iHeartRadio mobile application and other digital platforms which reach national, regional and local audiences. We also generate revenue from network syndication, our nationally recognized live events, our station websites and other miscellaneous transactions.

Our advertising revenue is highly correlated to changes in gross domestic product (“GDP”) as advertising spending has historically trended in line with GDP. A recession or downturn in the U.S. economy may have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to generate ~~revenues.~~revenue. In light of the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”), and the resulting recession impacting the U.S. economy, our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 has declined significantly compared to the comparable period in 2019 and we expect ~~that~~ our ~~revenues in~~full year 2020 ~~will~~revenue to decline compared to 2019, largely as a result of a decline in consumer and business spending and the related impact to the demand for advertising and pricing pressure resulting from greater competition for available advertising dollars. InBeginning in March 2020 and continuing in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, we saw a sharp decline ~~and expect further declines~~ in ~~our Sponsorships business, driven by the postponement or cancellation of a number~~each of our ~~live events~~Broadcast radio, Networks, and Sponsorships revenue streams. We also saw a sharp decline in revenues from our Audio and Media Services, particularly in Katz Media, as a result of ~~the COVID-19 pandemic; however, this portion of our business is the smallest contributor to our revenue and earnings and has the lowest margin of any of our segments.~~lower advertising spending. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in political revenue.

When the business environment recovers, we expect that the traditional promotional use of radio to be a strong benefit to us. As businesses reopen both nationally and locally, we believe that we are advantaged by our unparalleled reach and the live and local trusted voices that advertisers need to get their messages out quickly. ~~Our broadcast national and local revenue, as well as our Katz Media revenue, are generally impacted by political cycles, and as a result are not as significantly affected by declines in GDP.~~

In ~~February~~the first quarter of 2020, we announced our modernization initiatives, which will take advantage of the significant investments we have made in new technologies to build an operating infrastructure that provides better quality and newer products and delivers new cost efficiencies. We anticipate to incur approximately $50 million of restructuring costs related to achieving our cost savings in 2020. Our investments in modernization are expected to deliver annualized run-rate cost savings of approximately $100 million by mid-year 2021, and we expect to achieve approximately 50% of our anticipated run-rate savings in 2020. In addition, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken significant steps to significantly reduce our capital and operating expenditures for the remainder of 2020. These initiatives are expected to generate approximately $200 million in operating cost savings in 2020. For more information, please see the Liquidity and Capital Resources - Anticipated Cash Requirements section below.

On March 26, 2020, we ~~issued a press release announcing~~announced the withdrawal of our previously ~~announced~~issued financial guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 due to heightened uncertainty related to ~~COVID-19, its impact on the operating and economic environment and related, near-term advertiser spending decisions.~~COVID-19. As a precautionary measure to preserve financial flexibility in light of ~~the current~~this uncertainty, ~~in the global economy resulting from COVID-19,~~ we borrowed $350.0 million principal amount under our senior secured ~~asset-based~~asset-

based revolving credit facility (the ~~"ABL Facility"~~“ABL Facility”). During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we repaid $115.0 million principal amount drawn under our ABL Facility, resulting in a balance outstanding of $235.0 million as of June 30, 2020.

In July 2020, iHeartCommunications issued $450.0 million of incremental term loans pursuant to an amendment (the “Amendment No. 2”) to the credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Capital I, as guarantor, certain subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications, as guarantors, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, governing the Company’s $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loans (the “Term Loan Facility”), resulting in net proceeds of $425.8 million, after original issue discount and debt issuance costs. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay the remaining balance outstanding on our ABL Facility of $235.0 million, with the remaining $190.6 million of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes. For more information please refer to ~~“Liquidity~~the “Liquidity and Capital ~~Resources”~~Resources section” in this MD&A.

Impairment Charges

As discussed below, we emerged from bankruptcy on May 1, 2019 and applied fresh start accounting, which included stating our assets and liabilities at estimated fair values, including intangible assets and goodwill, based on our discounted future cash flows in the market environment that existed at the time of emergence. The United States economy is undergoing a period of economic disruption and uncertainty as a result of ~~the~~uncertainty related to COVID-19 ~~pandemic, which has caused, among other things, lower consumer~~ and ~~business spending. In addition, the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse~~its negative impact on our ~~first quarter 2020 results,~~business and ~~we expect~~ the ~~pandemic to negatively affect our future financial results. In addition, the economic uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the~~public trading values of our ~~publicly-traded~~ debt and ~~equity. As a result,~~equity, we ~~performed an~~were required to perform interim impairment ~~test as of March 31, 2020~~tests on our long-lived assets, intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2020. The interim impairment tests resulted in a non-cash impairment of our Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) licenses ~~and goodwill.~~

The uncertainty surrounding the demand for advertising significantly and negatively impacted the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models, which are utilized to value our FCC licenses and goodwill. As a result of the recent valuation performed upon emergence, which was based on market conditions at that time, and the significant deterioration in economic conditions currently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fair values of certain of our FCC licenses and goodwill have decreased significantly.

Our FCC licenses are valued using the direct valuation approach, with the key assumptions being 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. We obtained the most recent broadcast radio industry revenue projections, which consider the impact of COVID-19 on future broadcast radio advertising revenue. Such projections reflect a significant and negative impact from COVID-19. In addition to using these broadcast radio industry revenue projections, we used various sources to analyze media and broadcast industry market forecasts and other data in developing the assumptions used for purposes of performing impairment testing on our FCC licenses as of March 31, 2020.

Considerations in developing these assumptions included the extent of the economic downturn, ranges of expected timing of recovery, discount rates and other factors. Based on our interim testing, the estimated fair value of FCC licenses was below their carrying values. As a result, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $502.7 million ~~on our FCC licenses.~~

~~The goodwill impairment test requires us to measure the fair value of our reporting units~~ and compare the estimated fair value to the carrying value, including goodwill. Each of our reporting units is valued using a discounted cash flow model which requires estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the reporting unit, discounted to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Terminal values were 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. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and in management’s judgment in applying these factors. As with the impairment testing we performed on our FCC licenses described above, the significant deterioration in market conditions and uncertainty in the markets impacted the assumptions used to estimate the discounted future cash flows of our reporting units for purposes of performing the interim goodwill impairment test.

As discussed above, the carrying values our reporting units were based on estimated fair values determined upon our emergence from bankruptcy on May 1, 2019, and the rapid deterioration in economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lower estimated fair values determined in connection with our interim goodwill impairment testing as of March 31, 2020. The estimated fair value of one of our reporting units was below its carrying value, including goodwill, which required us to recognize a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 billion to reduce goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Based on management’s forecasted future cash flows and assessment of market values of our ~~goodwill.~~debt and equity securities, market interest rates affecting our weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and other economic factors, additional interim impairment testing of our intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible was not required as of June 30, 2020. For more information, see Note 5, Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Goodwill to the consolidated financial statements located in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further description of the impairment charges.

While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and utilized reasonable assumptions to calculate the fair values of our long-lived assets, indefinite-lived FCC licenses and reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur to the estimated fair value of these assets as a result of the uncertainty regarding the magnitude of the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the timing of any recovery. If our actual results are not consistent with our estimates, we could be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material to our results of operations.

(“iHeartCommunications”) and certain of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division

~~(the~~ (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On April 28, 2018, the Debtors filed a plan of reorganization and a related disclosure statement (as amended, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court, which was subsequently amended by filing the second, third, fourth and fifth amended Plan of Reorganization and amended versions of the Disclosure Statement. On January 22, 2019, the Modified Fifth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of iHeartMedia, Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates (as further modified, the “Plan of Reorganization”) was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

On May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the “Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 through (a) a series of transactions (the “Separation”) through which Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”), its parent Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with CCOH and CCH, the “Outdoor Group”) were separated from, and ceased to be controlled by, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “iHeart Group”), and (b) a series of transactions (the “Reorganization”) through which iHeartCommunications’ debt was reduced from approximately $16 billion to approximately $5.8 billion and a global compromise and settlement among holders of claims (“Claimholders”) in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases was effected. The compromise and settlement involved, among others, (i) the restructuring of iHeartCommunications’ indebtedness by (A) replacing its “debtor-in-possession” credit facility with a $450 million ~~senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”)~~ABL Facility and (B) issuing to certain Claimholders, on account of their claims, the approximately $3.5 billion aggregate principal amount ~~of new senior secured term loans (the “Term~~Term Loan ~~Facility”),~~Facility, approximately $1.45 billion aggregate principal amount of new 8.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) and approximately $800 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “6.375% Senior Secured Notes”), (ii) the Company’s issuance of new Class A common stock, new Class B common stock and special warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock and Class B common stock (“Special Warrants”) to Claimholders, subject to ownership restrictions imposed by the Federal Communications’ Commission (“FCC”), (iii) the settlement of certain intercompany transactions, and (iv) the sale of the preferred stock (the “iHeart Operations Preferred Stock”) of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary iHeart Operations, Inc. (“iHeart Operations”) in connection with the Separation.

All of the existing equity of the Company was canceled on the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

Beginning on the Effective Date, the Company applied fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after May 1, 2019 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or prior to that date.

Combined Results

Our financial results for the periods from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 are referred to as those of the “Predecessor” period. Our financial results for the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019, the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2020 are referred to as those of the “Successor” period. Our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Although GAAP requires that we report on our results for the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 separately, management views the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison to our results in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 against any of the current periods reported in its Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and does not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding the Company’s overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics such as revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and discussion below also present the combined results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

The combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which we refer to herein as the results for the "three months ended June 30, 2019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019.The combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which we refer to herein as the results for the “six months ended June 30, 2019” represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from bankruptcy and may not be indicative of future results.

Executive Summary

As ~~the first quarter of~~ 2020 began, we saw strong growth across our revenue streams in January and February, particularly from digital and from political advertising. However, while digital and political revenue continued to grow, the economic downturn as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant and negative impact on our other revenue streams beginning in March 2020 and continuing through the second quarter of 2020, including broadcast radio which is our largest revenue stream. A significant decline in advertising spend and the postponement or cancellation of certain tent-pole events ~~resulted in a decrease in March revenues which~~ drove an overall decrease in revenue for the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The extent of the economic downturn and the timing of recovery, as well as the future impact on our operations, are subject to significant uncertainty. ~~We expect the trends discussed above to continue during the duration of the economic slow-down that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.~~ In an effort to further strengthen the Company's financial flexibility and efficiently manage through the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented measures to cut costs and preserve cash. For additional information on these actions, see the Liquidity and Capital Resources - Anticipated Cash Requirements section below.

The key developments that impacted our business during the quarter are summarized below:

Strong Revenue growth in January and February was followed by a sharp decline in revenue in March, which continued through the second quarter of 2020, resulting in significant revenue declines impacting most of our revenue streams, primarily as a result of a decrease in broadcast radio advertising spend. Broadcast revenue decreased $342.7 million, driven by a $214.7 million decrease in Local spot revenue and a $121.9 million decrease in National spot revenue. The decrease in Broadcast revenue was offset by a $15.5 million increase in political revenue as a result of 2020 being a presidential election year. Revenue from our Network businesses, including both Premiere and Total Traffic & Weather, was also impacted by the downturn, resulting in a decrease of $63.6 million. Revenue from Sponsorship and Events decreased by $38.0 million, primarily as a result of the postponement or cancellations of events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital revenue increased $19.0 million, driven by continued growth in podcasting.

The decrease in Direct operating expenses was driven primarily by lower employee compensation expenses resulting from cost reduction initiatives taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, variable operating expenses, including music license and performance royalty fees, decreased in relation to lower revenue recognized during the period. Variable expenses related to events also decreased as a result of the postponement or cancellation of events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, variable operating expenses, including music license and performance royalty fees, decreased in relation to lower revenue recognized during the period. Variable expenses related to events also decreased as a result of the postponement or cancellation of events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in Direct operating expenses was partially offset by severance payments and other costs specific to our modernization initiatives, which were incurred mainly in January and February, as well as higher content costs from higher podcasting and digital subscription revenue and higher music license fees and digital royalties. The increase in direct operating expenses was partially offset by lower event production costs as a result of event postponements made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.revenue.

The decrease in SG&A expenses was partially offset by higher bad debt expense.

SG&A expenses decreased $42.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.

(1)Increase in Depreciation and amortization is driven by the application of fresh start accounting, resulting in significantly higher value of our tangible and intangible assets.

(2)Increase in Share-based compensation expense is due to our new equity compensation plan entered into in connection with our Plan of Reorganization.

(3)We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated Operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude restructuring and reorganization expenses included within Direct operating expenses, SG&A expenses, Corporate expenses and share-based compensation expenses included within Corporate expenses, as well as the following line items presented in our Statements of Operations: Depreciation and amortization, Impairment charges and Other operating income (expense), net. Alternatively, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (Income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, Income tax (benefit) expense, Interest expense (income), net, Depreciation and amortization, Reorganization items, net, (Gain) Loss on investments, net, Other (income) expense, net, Equity in loss of nonconsolidated affiliates, net, Impairment charges, Other operating (income) expense, net, Share-based compensation expense, and restructuring and reorganization expenses. Restructuring expenses primarily include severance expenses incurred in connection with cost saving initiatives, as well as certain expenses, which, in the view of management, are outside the ordinary course of business or otherwise not representative of the Company's operations during a normal business cycle. Reorganization expenses primarily include the amortization of retention bonus amounts paid or payable to certain members of management directly as a result of the Reorganization. We use Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. This measure is among the primary measures used by management for the planning and forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of executives and other members of management. We believe this measure is an important indicator of our operational strength and performance of our business because it provides a link between operational performance and operating income. It is also a primary measure used by management in evaluating companies as potential acquisition targets. We believe the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management. We believe it helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different capital structures or tax rates. In addition, we believe this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by our investors, analysts and peers in our industry for purposes of valuation and comparing our operating performance to other companies in our industry. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income or net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Because it excludes certain financial information compared with operating income and compared with consolidated net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.

~~(1)~~

(1)We define Free cash flow from (used for) continuing operations ("Free Cash Flow") as Cash provided by (used for) operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, which is disclosed as Purchases of property, plant and equipment by continuing operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We use Free Cash Flow, among other measures, to evaluate the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate cash flow. We believe that Free Cash Flow is meaningful to investors because we review cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered to be a necessary component of ongoing operations. In addition, we believe that Free Cash Flow helps improve investors' ability to compare our liquidity with other companies. Since Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, Cash provided by operating activities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Free Cash Flow is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Historically, we had granted restricted shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals. In connection with the effectiveness of our Plan of Reorganization, all unvested restricted shares were canceled.

Pursuant to the new equity incentive plan (the "Post-Emergence Equity Plan") we adopted in connection with the effectiveness of our Plan of Reorganization, we have granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals.

Share-based compensation expenses are recorded in corporate expenses and were ~~$4.6~~$4.2 million and ~~$0.4~~$3.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $8.8 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 was ~~$91.5~~$102.9 million compared to ~~$89.0~~$43.0 million of cash provided by operating activities in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations ~~decreased~~increased from ~~$136.7~~$75.7 million in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 to ~~$91.5~~$102.9 million in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 primarily as a result of changes in working capital balances, particularly accounts receivable, as well as accounts payable and accrued expenses, which were affected by the timing of payments. In addition, we paid $196.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 in relation to Reorganization items, net. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was offset by a decrease in Revenue driven by the decline in advertising spend resulting from the economic slow-down impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, cash interest payments made by continuing operations ~~increasing $100.0~~increased $181.2 million as a result of interest payments on our debt issued upon our emergence compared to pre-petition interest payments made in the prior year. The Company ceased paying interest on long-term debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise after the March 14, 2018 petition date. This decrease was offset by an increase in cash provided by operating activities attributable to changes in working capital balances, particularly accounts payable, which were affected by the timing of payments.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities of ~~$31.8~~$50.7 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 primarily reflects ~~$21.7~~$39.5 million in cash used for capital expenditures. We spent ~~$18.6~~$32.8 million for capital expenditures in our Audio segment primarily related to IT infrastructure, ~~$0.7~~$1.6 million in our Audio & Media Services segment, primarily related to acquired software and ~~$2.4~~$5.1 million in Corporate primarily related to equipment and software purchases.

Cash used for investing activities of ~~$52.4~~$278.9 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 primarily reflects ~~$27.6~~$222.4 million in cash used for investing activities from discontinued operations. In addition, we used ~~$23.0~~$53.6 million for capital expenditures. We spent ~~$20.1~~$44.7 million for capital expenditures in our Audio segment primarily related to IT infrastructure, ~~$0.7~~$2.1 million in our Audio & Media Services segment, primarily related to acquired software and ~~$2.2~~$6.8 million in Corporate primarily related to equipment and software purchases.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities of ~~$187.3~~$65.5 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 primarily resulted from the $350.0 million draw on our ABL Facility, partially offset by the $150.0 million prepayment on our Term Loan Facility and repayments of $115.0 million of amounts drawn under the ABL Facility.

~~Cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.~~ Cash used for financing activities ~~from continuing operations of $6.3~~was $56.2 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 primarily resulted from ~~payments on our former debtor-in-possession facility.~~the payment by iHeartCommunications to CCOH as CCOH's recovery of its claims under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note, partially offset by $60.0 million in proceeds received from the issuance of the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, which consisted of ~~$646.8~~$517.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, ~~and~~ cash flow from ~~operations.~~operations and borrowing capacity under our $450.0 million ABL Facility. On March 13, 2020, iHeartCommunications, Inc. (“iHeartCommunications”), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, borrowed $350.0 million principal amount under our $450.0 million ABL Facility as a precautionary measure to preserve iHeartCommunications’ financial flexibility in light of the ~~current~~ uncertainty in the global economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. ~~The proceeds will be available if needed to fund iHeartCommunications’ future working capital requirements or other general corporate purposes.~~During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we repaid $115.0 million principal amount drawn under our ABL Facility. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, iHeartCommunications had a ~~facility size~~borrowing base of ~~$450.0~~$289.4 million and utilization of ~~$350.0~~$235.0 million in outstanding borrowings and ~~$47.3~~$41.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, resulting in ~~$52.7~~$13.2 million of availability, such availability being subject to further restrictions contained within the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility. To

In July 2020, the ~~extent decreases~~Company issued $450.0 million of incremental term loans, resulting in net proceeds of $425.8 million, after original issue discount and debt issuance costs. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance was used to repay the remaining balance outstanding under the ABL Facility of $235.0 million, with the remaining $190.6 million of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes. Following the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility, due to restrictions contained primarily in our ~~accounts receivable result in~~mandatorily redeemable preferred stock agreements, we had the ~~borrowing base decreasing~~ability to ~~an amount below~~borrow approximately $160 million under the ~~amount drawn, we may be required to make a partial repayment of amounts outstanding under our~~ ABL Facility. ~~While we~~Our cash balance was $517.7 million as of June 30, 2020. Together with our adjusted cash balance¹ as of June 30, 2020 of approximately $708 million and our borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, our total available liquidity² was approximately $868 million. We will have the option to redeem the preferred stock beginning on May 1, 2022, or at an earlier date under certain circumstances in accordance with the documents governing the preferred stock instrument. We cannot determine the full extent of COVID-19’s impact on our business at this time and we are monitoring this rapidly evolving situation closely. ~~The~~While the challenges that COVID-19 has created for advertisers and consumers ~~has impacted~~have had a significant impact on our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and has created a business outlook that is less clear in the near ~~term.~~term, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

We expect that our primary anticipated uses of liquidity will be to fund our working capital, make interest payments, fund capital expenditures and maintain operations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and other obligations. These other obligations include dividend payments to be due to the ~~investor of preferred stock~~holder of iHeart Operations Preferred Stock, the terms of which are further described in Note 6, Long-term Debt to our financial statements included herein. We anticipate that we will have approximately ~~$86~~$84 million of cash interest payments in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020 and approximately ~~$258~~$170 million of cash interest payments in the remainder of 2020.

As a result of certain favorable tax provisions in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, we expect our 2020 cash income tax payments to be ~~insignificant~~insignificant. As a result of the provisions regarding interest deductions and ~~we expect to be able to defer~~the deferral of certain employment taxes into future ~~periods.~~ periods, cash tax payments in 2020 are expected to be approximately $100 million lower than they would been absent these favorable provisions.

Over the past ten years, we have transitioned our Audio business from a single platform radio broadcast operator to a company with multiple platforms, including podcasting, networks and live events. Early in the first quarter of 2020, we implemented our modernization initiatives to take advantage of the significant investments we have made in new technologies to build an operating infrastructure that provides better quality and newer products and delivers new cost efficiencies. We have also invested in numerous technologies and businesses to increase the competitiveness of our inventory with our advertisers and our audience.

¹ Adjusted for the impact of the amendment entered into in July 2020 to issue $450.0 million of incremental term loan commitments, resulting in net proceeds of $425.8 million, after original issue discount and debt issuance costs. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance was used to repay the remaining balance outstanding under the ABL Facility of $235.0 million, with the remaining $190.6 million of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes.

² Total available liquidity defined as cash and cash equivalents plus available borrowings under the ABL Facility. We use total available liquidity to evaluate our capacity to access cash to meet obligations and fund operations.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in an effort to further strengthen the Company's financial flexibility and efficiently manage through the period of economic slowdown and uncertainty, the Company is ~~proactively taking~~continuing to take the following ~~measures:~~measures, which are expected to generate approximately $200 million in operating cost savings in 2020:

•Substantial reduction in certain operating expenses, such as suspension of new employee hiring, travel and entertainment expenses, 401(k) matching expenses, consulting fees and other discretionary expenses.

•Reduction in planned capital expenditures to a level that we believe will still enable the Company to make key investments to continue our strategic initiatives related to Smart Audio and Digital, including podcasting.

•Reduction in compensation for senior management and other employees of the Company, including a 100% reduction of the Company's Chief Executive Officer's annual base salary and bonus.

•Implementation of a furlough for certain employees that are non-essential at this time.

In addition, as a result of the ~~expected~~ decrease in ~~forecasted revenues~~revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~we expect~~certain variable expenses including event production costs and sales commissions, as well as other variable compensation, toshowed a corresponding decrease.

We believe that our cash balance, ~~which includes the additional funds~~our cash flow from ~~drawing on~~operations and availability under our ABL Facility ~~provides~~provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our core operations, maintain key personnel and meet our other material obligations. In addition, none of our long-term debt includes maintenance covenants that could trigger early repayment. We fully appreciate the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, however, we remain confident in our business, our employees and our strategy. We believe that our ability to generate cash flow from operations from our business initiatives, ~~and~~ our current cash

on hand and availability under the ABL Facility will provide sufficient resources to fund and operate our business, fund capital expenditures and other obligations and make interest payments on our long-term debt for at least the next 12 months. If these sources of liquidity need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be financed through the issuance of debt or equity securities; however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms or at all in the future.

On February 3, 2020, iHeartCommunications made a $150.0 million prepayment using cash on hand and entered into an agreement to amend the Term Loan Facility to reduce the interest rate to LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00%, or the Base Rate (as defined in the ~~credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (the “Credit Agreement”))~~Credit Agreement plus a margin of 2.00% and to modify certain covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

On July 16, 2020, iHeartCommunications entered into an additional amendment to the Credit Facility (“Amendment No. 2”) to provide for $450.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of $425.8 million, after original issue discount and debt issuance costs. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance was used to repay the remaining balance outstanding under the ABL Facility of $235.0 million, with the remaining $190.6 million of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes. The incremental term loans issued pursuant to Amendment No. 2 have an interest rate of 4.00% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 3.00% for Base Rate Loans (subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75% and Base Rate floor of 1.75%). Amendment No. 2 also modifies certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Separation and Reorganization, we entered into the following transactions which may require ongoing capital commitments:

Transition Services Agreement

Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement between us, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (“iHM Management Services”), iHeartCommunications and CCOH, for one year from the Effective Date, we have agreed to provide, CCOH with certain administrative and support services and other assistance which CCOH will utilize in the conduct of its business as such business was conducted prior to the Separation. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, most of these services have been successfully transitioned to CCOH. The Company continues to provide certain information systems and other limited support services. CCOH has requested extensions of the term for certain individual services, primarily related to information systems, for one-month periods through ~~June 30,~~August 31, 2020 and may request further one-month extensions of such services up to May 1, 2021.

additional information, see Note 2, Discontinued Operations to the consolidated financial statements located in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further description.

New Tax Matters Agreement

In connection with the Separation, we entered into the New Tax Matters Agreement by and among iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations, Inc., CCH, CCOH and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., to allocate the responsibility of iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and CCOH and its subsidiaries, on the other, for the payment of taxes arising prior and subsequent to, and in connection with, the Separation.

(3)On July 16, 2020, iHeartCommunications issued $450.0 million of incremental term loans under the Amendment No. 2, resulting in net proceeds of $425.8 million, after original issue discount and debt issuance costs. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance was used to repay the remaining balance outstanding on the Company's ABL Facility of $235.0 million, with the remaining $190.6 million of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes.

For additional information regarding our debt refer to Note 6, Long-Term ~~Debt~~Debt.

Supplemental Financial Information under Debt Agreements and Certificate of Designation Governing the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock

Pursuant to iHeartCommunications' material debt agreements, Capital I, the parent guarantor and a subsidiary of iHeartMedia, is permitted to satisfy its reporting obligations under such agreements by furnishing iHeartMedia’s consolidated financial information and an explanation of the material differences between iHeartMedia’s consolidated financial information, on the one hand, and the financial information of Capital I and its consolidated restricted subsidiaries, on the other hand. Because neither iHeartMedia nor iHeartMedia Capital II, LLC, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of iHeartMedia and the parent of Capital I, have any operations or material assets or liabilities, there are no material differences between iHeartMedia’s consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, and Capital I’s and its consolidated restricted subsidiaries’ financial information for the same periods.

According to the certificate of designation governing the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock, iHeart Operations is required to provide certain supplemental financial information of iHeart Operations in comparison to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. iHeart Operations and its subsidiaries comprised ~~90.5%~~86.3% of the Company's consolidated assets as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, iHeart Operations and its subsidiaries comprised ~~86.0%~~83.6% and 85.0% of the Company's consolidated ~~revenues,~~revenue, respectively.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for 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 our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. Please refer to “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

SEASONALITY

Typically, the Audio segment experiences its lowest financial performance in the first quarter of the calendar year. We expect this trend to continue in the future. Due to this seasonality and certain other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. In addition, our Audio segment and our Audio and media representation business are impacted by political cycles and generally experience higher revenues in congressional election years, and particularly in presidential election years. This cyclicality may affect comparability of results between years.

MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in interest rates and inflation.

Interest Rate Risk

A significant amount of our long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings will be affected by changes in interest rates. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, approximately ~~42%~~41% of our aggregate principal amount of long-term debt bore interest at floating rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings and assuming a 50% change in LIBOR, it is estimated that our interest expense for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 would have changed by ~~$5.3~~$6.6 million.

In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, 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

Inflation is a factor in the economies in which we do business and we continue to seek ways to mitigate its effect. Inflation has affected our performance in terms of higher costs for wages, salaries and equipment. Although the exact impact of inflation is indeterminable, we believe we have offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates of most of our broadcasting stations in our Audio operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates that are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such difference could be material. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Critical Accounting Estimates” of Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 except as disclosed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation to our consolidated financial statements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. This report contains various forward-looking statements which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, without limitation, our future operating and financial performance, the anticipated impacts of the

COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial position and results of operations, our Rights Plan, our expected costs, savings and timing of our modernization initiatives and other capital and operating expense reduction initiatives, our business plans, strategies and initiatives, our expectations about certain markets, our expectations regarding our FCC petition for declaratory ruling and our anticipated financial performance and liquidity.

We caution that these forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to many variables which could impact our future performance. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions, as of the time the statements are made, regarding future events and performance. There can be no assurance, however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass. Actual future events and performance may differ materially from the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements. We do not intend, nor do we undertake any duty, to update any forward-looking statements.

A wide range of factors could materially affect future developments and performance, including but not limited to:

•risks associated with weak or uncertain global economic conditions and their impact on the level of expenditures for advertising;

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial position and results of operations;

•intense competition including increased competition from alternative media platforms and technologies;

•dependence upon the performance of on-air talent, program hosts and management as well as maintaining or enhancing our master brand;

•fluctuations in operating costs;

•technological changes and innovations;

•shifts in population and other demographics;

•the impact of our substantial indebtedness;

•the impact of future acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions;

•legislative or regulatory requirements;

•the impact of legislation or ongoing litigation on music licensing and royalties;

•risks associated with our recent emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases;

•risks related to our Class A common stock, including our significant number of outstanding warrants;

•regulations impacting our business and the ownership of our securities; and

•certain other factors set forth in our other filings with the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Required information is presented under “Market Risk” within Item 2 of this Part I.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain employees of the Company began working remotely in March 2020. These changes to the working environment did not have a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no ~~other~~ changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We currently 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 our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies 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 our financial condition or results of operations.

We are involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business and a large portion of our litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.

Alien Ownership Restrictions and FCC Petition for Declaratory Ruling

The Communications Act and FCC regulation prohibit foreign entities and individuals from having direct or indirect ownership or voting rights of more than 25 percent in a corporation controlling the licensee of a radio broadcast station unless the FCC finds greater foreign ownership is in the public interest (the “Foreign Ownership Rule”). Under our Plan of Reorganization, we committed to file a Petition for Declaratory Ruling ("PDR") requesting the FCC to permit up to 100% of the Company's voting and equity to be owned by non-U.S. individuals and entities, but the FCC’s granting our PDR was not a condition to our emergence.

The equity allocation mechanism (“Equity Allocation Mechanism”) set forth in the Plan of Reorganization was intended to enable us to comply with the Foreign Ownership Rule and other FCC ownership restrictions in connection with our emergence. The Equity Allocation Mechanism imposed an obligation on each of the Company's Claimholders to provide written certification sufficient for us to determine whether issuance of common stock to such Claimholder would cause us to violate the Foreign Ownership Rule, and restricted us from issuing common stock to Claimholders such that it would cause us to exceed an aggregate alien ownership or voting percentage of 22.5 percent (the “22.5 Percent Threshold”).

After emerging from bankruptcy, we discovered that a group of Claimholders that had certified to having no foreign ownership or voting control in connection with the Equity Allocation Mechanism had subsequently undergone a separate merger transaction without our knowledge or control. As a result of this merger, these Claimholders’ interests in iHeartMedia (amounting to approximately nine percent of our issued and outstanding Class A common stock) can be voted by a U.S. subsidiary of a foreign parent. We notified the FCC of this development in writing promptly after discovering and confirming it. The FCC responded to our notification on July 9, 2019, indicating that (1) the FCC has not determined that this development is contrary to the public interest, and (2) the FCC has deemed us to be in compliance with the FCC’s foreign ownership reporting rules, pending its decision on our PDR. On July 25, 2019 we filed our PDR. The FCC requested public comment on the PDR, which comment period closed on March 26, 2020. The FCC subsequently ~~has also~~ referred our PDR to Team Telecom - the interagency federal government group that analyzes requests for national security, law enforcement, and public safety issues. On June 29, 2020, Team Telecom indicated its consent to the grant by the FCC of the PDR. We cannot predict whether the FCC will issue a ruling granting the PDR, the amount of foreign equity and voting rights any such a ruling will allow us to have, or how long it will take to obtain such a ruling.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

~~There~~Except for the risk factors disclosed in Part II, Item 1 A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item IA of this Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes ~~to the~~in our risk factors from those disclosed ~~under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors”~~ in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, ~~(the "Annual Report"),~~ except as discussed below.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and is expected to continue to adversely impact, our business, results of operations and financial position.

In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus has been declared a pandemic and has spread around the world, including throughout the United States. The outbreak and

government measures taken in response have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on our businesses and the economy generally, as ~~worker shortages have occurred;~~ supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended;

and demand for many goods and services has fallen. In response to the spread of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders, we implemented a work-from-home policy that remains in place for most of our employees and have restricted on-site activities.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced and may continue to experience disruptions that have adversely impacted our business, results of operations and financial position. The ~~extend~~extent of future disruptions will depend on numerous evolving factors, which are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and cannot be predicted, and could result in significantly more severe impacts in the future, including:

•reduced ad budgets and spend, order cancellations and increased competition for advertising revenue;


•	•the effect of the outbreak on our customers and other business partners and vendors; •changes in how we conduct operations, including our events; •;

~~cancellation or postponement of events;~~

increased competition with alternative media platforms and technologies;

•the inability of customers to pay amounts owed to the Company, or delays in collections of such amounts;

•additional goodwill or other impairment charges;

•limitations on our employee resources, including because of work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders from federal or state governments, employee furloughs, or sickness of employees or their families;

•diversion of management resources to focus on mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•reduced capital expenditures; and

•impacts from prolonged remote work arrangements, including increased cybersecurity risks.

~~We expect that these~~ These disruptions ~~will~~have negatively ~~impact~~impacted our revenue, results of operations and financial position infor the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and we expect these disruptions to continue to have a negative impact for the remainder of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to ~~rapidly~~ evolve. The extent to which the outbreak ~~impacts~~continues to impact our business, liquidity and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as ~~the ultimate geographic spread of the disease,~~ the duration of the pandemic, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders, travel restrictions and social distancing throughout the United States, the duration and extent of business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease. If we or our customers continue to experience prolonged shutdowns or other business disruptions beyond current expectations, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and within planned timelines could be materially and adversely impacted, and our business, liquidity and financial results will be adversely affected. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~have~~ caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets, which has adversely ~~impacted and may continue to adversely impact~~affected our stock price and credit rating and could impact our ability to access the capital markets ~~and our ability to maintain our credit ratings.~~

~~Delaware law and certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation may prevent efforts by our stockholders to change the direction or management of our company.~~

Our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult without the approval of our Board of Directors (the “Board”), including, but not limited to, the following:

for the first three years following the Effective Date, our Board will be divided into three equal classes, with members of each class elected in different years for different terms, making it impossible for stockholders to change the composition of our entire Board in any given year;

~~action by stockholders may only be taken at an annual or special meeting duly called by or at the direction of a majority of our Board;~~

~~advance notice for all stockholder proposals is required;~~

subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding shares of our preferred stock, for so long as our board remains classified our directors may only be removed for cause and upon the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock; and

for the first three years following the Effective Date, any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of the anti-takeover provisions of the charter, requires the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the ~~election of directors.~~future.

We are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions contained in Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Under these provisions, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its voting stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other exceptions, the board of directors has approved the business combination or the transaction by which the person became an interested stockholder.

In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan that could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire our Class A common stock, Class B common stock or warrants without the approval of our Board.

These and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our Board or initiate actions that are opposed by our Board, including actions to delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. The existence of these provisions could negatively affect the price of our common stock and limit opportunities for you to realize value in a corporate transaction.
