Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
LBI Media, Inc. (LBI Media), a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LBI Media Holdings, Inc., issued a press release on May 16, 2011. The press release announced its consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto is being furnished (not filed) under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K.
In the press release, LBI Media used the term Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income or loss, plus income tax expense or benefit, gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, net interest expense, interest rate swap expense or income, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense. The term, as defined by LBI Media, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).
The management of LBI Media considers this measure an important indicator of its financial performance, as it eliminates the effects of certain of the companys non-cash items and the companys capital structure. In addition, it provides useful information to investors regarding the companys financial condition and results of operations and the companys ability to service debt. The measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income or loss and net income or loss.
LBI Media believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating its financial performance because:
| it is widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a companys financial performance without regard to items such as net interest expense and depreciation, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, financing methods, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; |
| it gives investors another measure to evaluate and compare the results of LBI Medias operations from period to period by removing the impact of LBI Medias capital structure (such as net interest expense and net interest rate swap expense), asset base (such as depreciation) and actions that do not affect liquidity (such as stock-based compensation expense) from LBI Medias operating results; and |
| it helps investors identify items that are within LBI Medias operational control. For example, depreciation charges, while a component of operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset purchase in accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as such are not a directly controllable operating charge in the period. |
LBI Medias management uses Adjusted EBITDA:
| as a measure of operating performance because it assists LBI Media in comparing its financial performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of LBI Medias capital structure, asset base and actions that do not affect liquidity from its operating results; |
| as a measure to assist LBI Media in evaluating and planning its acquisition strategy; |
| in presentations to LBI Medias board of directors to enable them to have the same consistent measurement basis of financial performance used by management; |
| as a measure for determining LBI Medias operating budget and its ability to fund working capital; and |
| as a measure for planning and forecasting capital expenditures. |

Exhibit 99.1
LBI Media, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
Burbank, CA May 16, 2011 LBI Media, Inc., a leading Spanish-language entertainment company, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net revenues increased by $1.8 million, or 8%, to $25.4 million, from $23.6 million for the same period in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased by $2.8 million, or 39%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $7.1 million for the same period in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2010 included a $1.6 million gain on the assignment of a certain asset purchase agreement. Also, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2011 included a $0.7 million one-time charge related to the settlement of a certain legal dispute. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2010 included only a partial month of service fee expenses related to our EstrellaTV network, as compared to the same period in 2011, which included a full quarter of service fee expenses. Excluding the one-time items related to the gain in the first quarter of 2010 from the assignment of our asset purchase agreement, the settlement charge in the first quarter of 2011, and normalizing for a full quarter of service fee expenses in the first quarter of 2010, which would have resulted in approximately $0.7 million of additional service fee in the first quarter of 2010, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2011 increased 4% compared to Adjusted EBITDA in the same period in 2010.
Commenting on the companys earnings results, Lenard Liberman, Chief Executive Officer and President said, We are pleased with the results of our first quarter, and with the progress we have made in our network business since the launch of EstrellaTV. EstrellaTV continues to shine, ranking among the highest-rated Spanish language networks in the country, and continues to contribute to our revenue growth. With our recently completed refinancing, we now have a capital structure in place to provide the liquidity and flexibility to optimize the value of our assets. Our radio and television stations are located in some of the most attractive markets for Hispanic media, and the release of the 2010 Census data confirms the strength and growth of the US Hispanic population. With the powerful growth of the underlying demographics in our markets and with the strength of our highly rated programming, we believe we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of this favorable trend and deliver outstanding performance.
Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net revenues increased by $1.8 million, or 8%, to $25.4 million, from $23.6 million for the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to increased advertising revenue from our EstrellaTV network, partially offset by a decline in our radio segment.
Net revenues for our television segment increased by $2.4 million, or 21%, to $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $11.8 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to increased revenue from our EstrellaTV television network.
Net revenues for our radio segment declined by $0.6 million, or 5%, to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $11.8 million for the same period in 2010. This change was primarily attributable to declines in advertising revenue in our Texas markets, partially offset by increases in advertising revenues in our Southern California markets.
Total operating expenses increased by $4.7 million, or 25%, to $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $19.0 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to (1) a $1.9 million increase in program and technical expenses in part resulting from $0.7 million in incremental costs related to services for our EstrellaTV network and an increase in amortization of capitalized costs related to the production of our original programming content, (2) the absence in 2011 of a $1.6 million cash gain realized on the assignment of the asset purchase agreement to acquire a radio station, and (3) a $0.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily related to a $0.7 million charge related to the settlement of a legal dispute.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2.8 million, or 39%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $7.1 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of (1) the absence in 2011 of the $1.6 million cash gain realized on the assignment of the asset purchase agreement to acquire radio station KDES-FM, (2) $0.7 million of additional costs related to our EstrellaTV network because the first quarter of 2010 included only a partial month of service fee expenses related to the network and (3) a $0.7 million charge related to the settlement of a legal dispute.
We recognized a net loss of $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the same period of 2010, an increase in net loss of $4.0 million. This change was primarily attributable to (1) the absence in 2011 of the $1.6 million cash gain realized on the assignment of a certain asset purchase agreement to acquire a radio station, (2) a $1.0 million write off of deferred financing costs relating to our former senior secured credit facility and (3) higher program and technical expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, as described above.
