1. Significant Accounting Policies

The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 20162020 Combined Form 10-K. Subsequent events, if any, are evaluated through the date on which the financial statements are issued.

2. Revenues
Advertising revenues:  The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard, logo and transit displays. Contracts which do not meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842, Leases are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue. The majority of our advertising space contracts do not meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842 and are therefore accounted for under ASC 606. The contract revenues are recognized ratably over their contract life. Costs to fulfill a contract, which include our costs to install advertising copy onto billboards, are capitalized and amortized to direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Other revenues:  Our other component of revenue primarily consists of production services which includes creating and printing the advertising copy. Revenue for production contracts is recognized under ASC 606. Contract revenues for production services are recognized upon satisfaction of the contract which is typically less than one week.
Arrangements with multiple performance obligations:  Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using expected cost plus margin.
Deferred revenues:  We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is not significant. For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer. The balance of deferred income is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within twelve months.
Practical expedients and exemptions: TheCompany is utilizing the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC 606. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than one year. For contracts with customers which exceed one year, the future amount to be invoiced to the customer corresponds directly with the value to be received by the customer.
The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
On December 18, 2018, Lamar Media entered into a $175,000 Receivable Financing Agreement (the “Receivable Financing Agreement”) with its wholly-owned special purpose entities, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”) (the "Accounts Receivable Securitization Program"). The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.
Pursuant to two separate Purchase and Sale Agreements dated December 18, 2018, each of which is among Lamar Media as initial Servicer, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries and a Special Purpose Subsidiary, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the Special Purpose Subsidiaries. The Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and provides a performance guaranty.
On June 30, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Third Amendment increased the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio, Dilution Ratio and Days’ Sales Outstanding to 11.00% (from 8.00%), 7.00% (from 4.00%) and 75 days (from 65 days), respectively, for each of the months of June, July and August 2020. The Third Amendment did not modify any other financial covenant. Additionally, the Third Amendment established a new Minimum Funding Threshold, which requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries had the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election.
On October 23, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement.  The Fourth Amendment increased the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio generally to 13.00% (and up to 16.00% for up to two additional periods upon written notice from Lamar Media), and increased the maximum three month average Dilution Ratio to 5.00% for the remaining term of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment increased the Minimum Funding Threshold which, as amended, requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 70.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries had the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election.
On May 24, 2021, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Fifth Amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Fifth Amendment extended the maturity date of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to July 21, 2024. Additionally, the Fifth Amendment decreased the Minimum Funding Threshold which, as amended, requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, provided that the Minimum Funding Threshold shall be zero on any day that is a Minimum Funding Threshold Holiday which, as amended, provides for an annual holiday from the requirement of up to sixty days per year. The Fifth Amendment also provides for updated LIBOR replacement procedures.
As of September 30, 2021 there was $175,000 outstanding aggregate borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media had no additional availability for borrowing under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of September 30, 2021. The commitment fees based on the amount of unused commitments under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program were immaterial during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program will mature on July 21, 2024. Lamar Media may amend the facility to extend the maturity date, enter into a new securitization facility with a different maturity date, or refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program using borrowings under its senior credit facility or from other financing sources.

The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged accounts receivable and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The standard permitsIncome Taxes, which simplifies the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is in the final stages of its review of contracts and we do not expect any material impact on our consolidated financial statementsaccounting for the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09. We currently believe the only contracts with customers which will be accounted for under ASU No. 2014-09 are our Transit advertising contracts and production services. We have preliminarily determined to adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 using the cumulative effect transition method with an adjustmentincome taxes by removing specific exceptions to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application.

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a new equity distribution agreement (the "2021 Sales Agreement") with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. as our sales agents (each a "Sales Agent", and collectively, the "Sales Agents"), which replaced the prior Sales Agreement with substantially similar terms. Under the terms of the 2021 Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000, through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals.
Sales of the Class A common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market offerings" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A common stock, or sales made to or directly through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Class A Common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the 2021 Sales Agreement.
As of September 30, 2021, no shares of our Class A common stock have been sold under the 2021 Sales Agreement and accordingly $400,000 remained available to be sold under the 2021 Sales Agreement as of September 30, 2021.
Shelf Registration. On August 6, 2018, the Company filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement that registered the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of additional shares of our Class A common stock, which expired in August 2021. There were no shares issued under this shelf registration during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020. On June 21, 2021, the Company filed a new automatically effective shelf registration statement that allows Lamar Advertising to offer and sell an indeterminate amount of additional shares of its Class A common stock on similar terms as the prior registration statement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not issue any shares under this shelf registration.
On March 16, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250,000 of the Company’s Class A common stock. On September 20, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of the repurchase program through March 31, 2023. There were no repurchases under the program as of September 30, 2021.

You should carefully consider each of these risks and uncertainties in evaluating the Company’s and Lamar Media’s financial conditions and results of operations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These statements speak only as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the statements, except as may be required by law.

LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the nine monthsthree and threenine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016.2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto.

Overview

The Company’s net revenues are derived primarily from the rental of advertising space on outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. Revenue growth is based on many factors that include the Company’s ability to increase occupancy of its existing advertising displays; raise advertising rates; and acquire new advertising displays and its operating results are therefore affected by general economic conditions, as well as trends in the advertising industry. Advertising spending is particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions which affect the rates that the Company is able to charge for advertising on its displays and its ability to maximize advertising sales or occupancy on its displays.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 and the related government-imposed restrictions and social distancing measures implemented throughout the world negatively affected our business in 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our business has generally improved as the economy has recovered. While some of our corporate, front office and sales workforce continues to work from home, a large majority have returned to their offices while adhering to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local governmental guidelines and recommendations. The impacts of working from home have been minimal on productivity. Also, while working from home has minimally impacted our processes, there have been no material impacts to our internal control environment.
We continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and stockholders.
Acquisitions and capital expenditures
Historically, the Company has made strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets to increase the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates in existing and new markets. The Company continues to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise. The Company has financed its historical acquisitions and intends to finance any future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its senior credit facility or the issuance of debt or equity securities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Sources of Cash” for more information. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, the Company completed several acquisitions for a total cash purchase price of approximately $119.9$107.6 million. See—“See Uses of Cash – Acquisitions for more information.

35

The Company’s business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs associated with the construction of new billboard displays, the entrance into and renewal of logo sign and transit contracts, and the purchase of real estate and operating equipment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on several key performance indicators not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe these non-GAAP performance indicators are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Included in our analysis of our results of operations are discussions regarding earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjustedadjusted EBITDA”), Funds From Operationsfunds from operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Adjusted Funds From Operationsadjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and acquisition-adjusted net revenue.

We define Adjustedadjusted EBITDA as net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense (income), gainequity in earnings (loss) of investees, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt and investments, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and gain or loss (gain) on disposition of assets and investments.

investments and capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net.

FFO is defined as net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate assets and investments and real estate related depreciation and amortization and including adjustments to eliminate unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

We define AFFO as FFO before (i) straight-line revenueincome and expense; (ii) capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net (iii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii)(iv) non-cash portion of tax provision; (iv)expense (benefit); (v) non-real estate related depreciation and amortization; (v)(vi) amortization of deferred financing costs; (vi)(vii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (vii)(viii) non-recurring infrequent or unusual losses (gains); (viii)(ix) less maintenance capital expenditures; and (ix)(x) an adjustment for unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue adjusts our net revenue for the prior period by adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets before our acquisition of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the current period. In calculating acquisition-adjusted revenue, therefore, we include revenue generated by assets that we did not own in the period but acquired in the current period. We refer to the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the acquired assets during the prior period that corresponds with the current period in which we owned the assets (to the extent within the period to which this report relates) as “acquisition net revenue”. In addition, we also adjust the prior period to subtract revenue generated by the assets that have been divested since the prior period and, therefore, no revenue derived from those assets is reflected in the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are not intended to replace net income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Rather, Adjustedadjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. We believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for purposes of decision makingdecision-making and
36

for evaluating our core operating results; (2) Adjustedadjusted EBITDA is widely used in the industry to measure operating performance as depreciation and amortization may vary significantly among companies depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (3) acquisition-adjusted net revenue is a supplement to net revenue to enable investors to compare period over periodperiod-over-period results on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions and divestures,divestitures, which reflects our core performance and organic growth (if any) during the period in which the assets were owned and managed by us; (4) Adjustedadjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO each providesprovide investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature; and (5) each provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies.

Our measurement of Adjustedadjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue may not, however, be fully comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of Adjustedadjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, have been included herein.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Monthsmonths ended September 30, 20172021 compared to Nine Monthsnine months ended September 30, 2016

2020

Net revenues increased $29.2$152.5 million or 2.6%13.4% to $1.14$1.29 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 from $1.11$1.14 billion for the same period in 2016.2020. This increase was primarily attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $21.8$153.7 million which representsand an increase in transit net revenues of 2.2%$2.2 million, offset by a decrease in logo net revenues of $3.4 million over the same period in 2016.  In addition, logo sign revenue increased $3.3 million, which represents an increase of 5.6% over the prior period and transit revenue increased $4.1 million which represents an increase of 5.1% over the same period in 2016.

2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, there was a $15.3$156.5 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016,2020, which represents an increase of 1.4%13.8%. See “Reconciliations” below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under the senior credit facility. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the borrower under the senior credit facility and maintains all corporate operating cash balances. Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media.

Sources of Cash

Total Liquidity. As of September 30, 20172021 we had approximately $376.3$823.2 million of total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $29.4$87.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $346.9$735.7 million of availability under the revolving portion of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility. We expect our total liquidity to be adequate for the Company to meet its operational requirements for the next twelve months. We are currently in compliance with the maintenance covenant included in the senior credit facility and we would remain in compliance after giving effect to borrowing the full amount available to us under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $236.1 million and $167.3 million, respectively. The decrease in working capital of $68.8 million is primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $34.0 million as well as an increase of $52.3 million in current maturities of long-term debt due to the additional borrowings on the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, offset by an increase in receivables, net of $21.8 million as of September 30, 2021.
Cash Generated by Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 20162020, our cash provided by operating activities was $320.6$488.2 million and $337.8$361.5 million, respectively. The decreaseincrease in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 over the same period in 20162020 primarily relates to an increase in revenues offset by an increase in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization), and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities.of $152.5 million. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 20172021 in excess of our cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and dividends, as described herein.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity available under our revolving credit facility to meet our operating cash needs for the next twelve months.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  On December 18, 2018, we entered into the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program provides up to $175.0 million in borrowing capacity, plus an accordion feature that would permit the borrowing capacity to be increased by up to $125.0 million. Borrowing capacity under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. In connection with the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, Lamar Media and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Originators”) sell and/or contribute their existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to one of two special purpose subsidiaries, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC (the “QRS SPV”) and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lamar Media. Existing and future accounts receivable relating to Lamar Media and its qualified REIT subsidiaries will be sold and/or contributed to the QRS SPV and existing and future accounts receivable relating to Lamar Media’s taxable REIT subsidiaries will be sold and/or contributed to the TRS SPV. Each of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries has granted the lenders party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program a security interest in all of its assets, which consist of the accounts receivable and related assets sold or contributed to them, as described above, in order to secure the obligations of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, Lamar Media has agreed to service the accounts receivable on behalf of the two Special Purpose Subsidiaries for a fee. Lamar Media has also agreed to guaranty its performance in its capacity as servicer and originator, as well as the performance of the Subsidiary Originators, of their obligations under the agreements governing the Account Receivable Securitization Program. None of Lamar Media, the Subsidiary Originators or the Special Purpose Subsidiaries guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. In addition, each of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the assets of such Special Purpose Subsidiary before the assets become available to Lamar Media. Accordingly, the assets of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries are not available to pay creditors of Lamar Media or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from receivables in excess of the amounts required to repay the lenders and the other creditors of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries may be remitted to Lamar Media. 
On May 24, 2021, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Fifth Amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, as amended. The Fifth Amendment extends the maturity date of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to July 21, 2024. Additionally, the Fifth Amendment decreases the
42

Table of Contents
Minimum Funding Threshold which, as amended, requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, provided that the Minimum Funding Threshold shall be zero on any day that is a Minimum Funding Threshold Holiday which, as amended, provides for an annual holiday from the requirement of up to sixty days per year. The Fifth Amendment also provides for updated LIBOR replacement procedures. Lamar Media may amend the facility to extend the maturity date, enter into a new securitization facility with a different maturity date, or refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program using borrowings under its senior credit facility or from other financing sources.
As of September 30, 2021, there was $175.0 million in outstanding aggregate borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media had no additional availability under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of September 30, 2021. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program will mature on July 21, 2024. On October 20, 2021, Lamar repaid $60.0 million of its outstanding balance under its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Currently, the Company has $115.0 million outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.
“At-the-Market” Offering Program. On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as our sales agents. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company could have, from time to time, issued and sold shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million through the sales agents as either agents or principals. The Sales Agreement expired by its terms on May 1, 2021. The Company did not issue any shares under this program in 2021.
On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a new equity distribution agreement (the "2021 Sales Agreement"), with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. as our sales agents (each a "Sales Agent", and collectively, the "Sales Agents"), which replaced the prior Sales Agreement with substantially similar terms. Under the terms of the 2021 Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals. Sales of the Class A common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market offerings" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Class A common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the 2021 Sales Agreement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of the Class A common stock pursuant to the 2021 Sales Agreement for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of existing indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition of outdoor advertising assets and businesses and other related investments. The Company did not issue any shares under this program from its inception through September 30, 2021.
Shelf Registration Statement.On August 6, 2018, the Company filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement (No. 333-226614) that registered the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of additional shares of our Class A common stock which expired by its term in August 2021. On June 21, 2021, the Company filed a new automatically effective shelf registration statement (No. 333-257243) that allows Lamar Advertising to offer and sell an indeterminate amount of additional shares of its Class A common stock on similar terms as the prior registration statement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not issue any shares under either shelf registration.
Credit Facilities. On May 15, 2017,February 6, 2020, Lamar Media entered into a Third Restatement Agreement (“Restatement Agreement”) to its SecondFourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“existing senior credit facility”(the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) dated as of February 3, 2014 with the Company, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto, under which the parties agreed to amend and restate Lamar Media’s existing senior credit facility.

Lamar Media’sTheFourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreementamended and restated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017, (asas amended (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

On July 2, 2021, Lamar Media entered into Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment"), to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amendment amends the definition of "Subsidiary" to exclude each of Lamar Partnering Sponsor LLC and Lamar Partnering Corporation and any of their subsidiaries (collectively, the “Lamar Partnering Entities”) such that, after the giving effect to the Amendment, none of the Lamar Partnering Entities are subject to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement covenants and reporting requirements, but any investment by Lamar Media in any of the Lamar Partnering Entities would be subject to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement covenants. The Amendment also amends the definition of “EBITDA” to replace the existing calculation with a net income-based calculation, which excludes the income of

The Term B loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50%. Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50%. The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option.

The institutional private placement on January 22, 2021 resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $542.5 million. Lamar Media used the proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit facility and Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, to redeem all of its outstanding $650.0 million aggregate principal amount 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026. See Uses of Cash- Note Redemption for more information.
Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting internally generated cash flow are general economic conditions, specific economic conditions in the markets where the Company conducts its business and overall spending on advertising by advertisers.

We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 2021 in excess of our cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and dividends, as described herein, and we believe we have sufficient liquidity with cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility to meet our operating cash needs for the next twelve months.

As a REIT, the Company must annually distribute to its stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRSs”), the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the islandreported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in Item 7 of our 2020 Combined Form 10-K.
Accounting Standards Update
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 - Income Taxes. This guidance is largely without powereffective for years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 and we are continuing to assess the impact of the storm on our operations andadoption is not material to the effect, if any, on our existing customers.  While it may take several months for our Puerto Rico operations to be fully functioning, the Company does not expect the impact of this storm to materially impact consolidated revenue, operating income or net income.  

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements with the exception of operating leases.


Commitments and Contingencies

Debt Service and Contractual Obligations.  In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2017, Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, under the heading “Debt Service and Contractual Obligations,” we described our commitments and contingencies.  There was no material change in our commitments and contingencies during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Accounting Standards Update

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 deferring the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is in the final stages of its review of contracts and we do not expect any material impact on ourCompany's consolidated financial statements for the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09. We currently believe the only contracts with customers which will be accounted for under ASU No. 2014-09 are our Transit advertising contracts and production services. We have preliminarily determined to adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 using the cumulative effect transition method with an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 Income taxes – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this update require deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted the update in ASU No. 2015-17 as of January 1, 2017. The Company’s 2016 consolidated balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect retrospective adoption of the update and the impact was not considered material.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.  The update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements.  The amendments in this update are effective beginning January 1, 2019 with retrospective application. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact ASU No. 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.  The Company expects the primary impact to our consolidated financial statements will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets, resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows.  The update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the update in ASU No. 2016-15 as of January 1, 2017.  The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the definition of a business.  The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses.  The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods.  Early adoption is allowed for transactions which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the update in ASU 2017-01 for transactions which occurred on or after October 1, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. The update simplifies how a company completes its goodwill impairment test by eliminating the two-step process, which requires determining the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed in a business combination. The update requires completing the goodwill impairment test by comparing the difference between the reporting units’ carrying value and fair value.  Goodwill charges, if any, would be determined by reducing the goodwill balance by the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value.  The update is effective for annual and interim fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on or after January 1, 2017.  The Company plans to early adopt this update for its December 31, 2017 goodwill impairment test.

See “Reconciliations” below. The $15.3$156.5 million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $9.6 million increase in billboard revenue which is largelyprimarily due to an increase of $151.1 million in digital revenue, a $3.8 million increase in logo revenue and a $1.9 millionbillboard net revenues as well as an increase in transit revenuenet revenues of $5.1 million over the acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparablesame period in 2016.

2020. The increase is primarily due to the revision in the cost estimate included in the calculation of asset retirement obligations during the period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, Lamar Media recognized a gain on disposition of assets decreased $7.8of $1.9 million, to $4.4 million as compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2016.  The decrease in gain on disposition of assets is primarily resulting from transactions related to a $5.9 million decrease in gain recognized for acquisition swap transactions in 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Due to the above factors, operating income increased by $11.7$102.7 million to $335.7$371.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 as compared to $324.0$269.2 million for the same period in 2016.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2015 (the “acquired assets”)2019 have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 20162020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 20162020 net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 20162020 by adding to or subtracting from it the net revenue generated by the acquired or divested assets prior to our


acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

2021.

Reconciliations of 20162020 reported net revenue to 20162020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, as well as a comparison of 20162020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 20172021 reported net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, are provided below:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.

The Company

Lamar Advertising is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Lamar Media. The information below summarizes the Company’s interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at September 30, 2017,2021, and should be read in conjunction with Note 911 of the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

LoansStatements.

Lamar Media has variable-rate debt outstanding under Lamar Media’sits senior credit facility bearand its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Because interest at variable rates equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted Base Rate plus the applicable margin. Because the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted Base Rate may increase or decrease at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in these baseinterest rates may have on the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the senior credit facility.outstanding. Increases in the interest rates applicable to these borrowings under the senior credit facility would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company’s net income.

At September 30, 2017,2021 there was approximately $534.4$773.7 million of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the senior credit facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, or approximately 21.8%26.9% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 with respect to borrowings under the senior credit facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program was $11.7$9.8 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to these borrowings under this credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 was 3.0%1.4%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis200 basis points higher (that is 5.0%3.4% rather than 3.0%1.4%), then the Company’s nine months ended September 30, 20172021 interest expense would have increased by $7.2 million.

approximately $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company attemptedattempts to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by issuing fixed rate long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the amount of the Company’s variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition, the Company has the capability under the senior credit facility to fix the interest rates applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to LIBORAdjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted Base Rate plus the applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months (in certain cases with the consent of the lenders), which would allow the Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. In the event of an increase in interest rates, the Company may take further actions to mitigate its exposure. The Company cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or that, if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.
