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 17, 2010. The press release announced its consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010. 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 less discontinued operations, net of income taxes, plus income tax expense or benefit, gain or loss on sale and/or disposal of property and equipment, net interest expense, interest rate swap expense or income, impairment of broadcast licenses, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense and other non-cash gains and losses. The term, as defined by LBI Media, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The management of LBI Media considers the measure an important indicator of its liquidity relating to its operations, as it eliminates the effects of LBI Media’s discontinued operations, certain non-cash items, and LBI Media’s capital structure. The management believes liquidity is an important measure for LBI Media because it reflects its ability to meet its interest payments under its substantial indebtedness and is a measure of the amount of cash available to grow LBI Media through its acquisition strategy. 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, and net income.

LBI Media believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating its liquidity and cash flow because:

 

   

it is widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a company’s liquidity and cash flow without regard to items such as discontinued operations, depreciation, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and impairment of broadcast licenses. The broadcast industry uses liquidity to determine whether a company will be able to cover its capital expenditures and whether a company will be able to acquire additional assets and broadcast licenses if the company has an acquisition strategy. LBI Media believes that by eliminating the effect of discontinued operations and certain non-cash items, Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of liquidity;

 

   

it gives investors another measure to evaluate and compare the results of LBI Media’s operations from period to period by removing the impact of non-cash expense items, such as impairment of broadcast licenses. By removing discontinued operations and the non-cash items, it allows investors to better determine whether LBI Media will be able to meet its debt obligations as they become due; and

 

   

it provides a liquidity measure before the impact of a company’s capital structure by removing net interest expense items and interest rate swap income or expense.

LBI Media’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

 

   

as a measure to assist LBI Media in planning its acquisition strategy;

 

   

in presentations to LBI Media’s board of directors to enable them to have the same consistent measurement basis of liquidity and cash flow used by management;

 

   

as a measure for determining LBI Media’s 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 2010 Results

Burbank, CA – May 17, 2010 – LBI Media, Inc. reported its financial results today for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations incorporates restated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Due to our restatement for accounting errors relating to the classification and valuation of certain deferred tax accounts relating to our indefinite-lived intangible assets, all comparisons to March 31, 2009 contained within this press release reflect restated financial results.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 9.9%, to $23.6 million, from $21.5 million for the same period in 2009.

Commenting on the company’s earnings results, Lenard Liberman, Chief Executive Officer and President said, “We are pleased to announce that during the first quarter, we generated year-over-year revenue growth. We are encouraged by our improving financial results and the positive trends we are seeing in the advertising market.

“EstrellaTV, our national television network, continues to perform in line with our expectations while also securing further distribution gains. Since mid-April, we have reached agreements with two additional affiliates in Greensboro, North Carolina and Omaha, Nebraska, the nation’s 53rd and 71st largest Hispanic markets in the U.S., respectively. Upon completion of our purchase of television station assets in Denver and Chicago, EstrellaTV will be distributed in 32 markets covering over 75% of U.S. Hispanic television households. We have a number of other affiliation agreements pending and we expect that EstrellaTV will continue to grow its distribution across the U.S.

“As previously mentioned, in March, EstrellaTV successfully debuted as a Nielsen rated broadcast network. EstrellaTV currently ranks a solid fourth among the many nationally rated Spanish language television networks and continues to hold that position in prime time. In fact, on several evenings over the past several weeks, EstrellaTV has beaten Telefutura to take the third place rank among certain demographics. As we add to our affiliates in key Hispanic markets and improve our distribution platform, we expect our ratings to improve.

“Our focus for the balance of 2010 is sustaining the momentum generated during the first quarter and building upon our successes. We will continue to strengthen our lineup by introducing new and innovative programming, pursue additional opportunities for expanding the distribution of EstrellaTV and effectively utilize our radio and TV broadcasting assets to drive increased revenue and ratings performance.”

Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Net revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 9.9%, to $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $21.5 million for the same period in 2009. The change was primarily attributable to increased advertising revenue in our television segment, reflecting incremental revenue from our EstrellaTV television network, as well as growth in our California and Texas markets.

Net revenues for our radio segment remained relatively flat, at $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Net revenues for our television segment increased by $2.1 million, or 21.5%, to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $9.7 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to incremental revenue from our EstrellaTV television network, as well as growth in our California and Texas markets.

Total operating expenses decreased by $51.0 million, or 72.9%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $70.0 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of a $51.5 million reduction in broadcast license impairment charges. Excluding the impact of the impairment charges, total operating expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 2.7%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million increase in program and technical expenses, and resulted from (1) an increase in amortization of capitalized costs related to the production of original programming content and (2) incremental ratings service fees and satellite costs related to our EstrellaTV network.

 

1


The increase in program and technical expenses was partially offset by a $1.6 million gain on our assignment of the asset purchase agreement to acquire radio station KDES-FM and a $0.4 million decline in selling, general and administrative and promotional expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA( 1) increased by $1.7 million, or 30.0%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $5.4 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily the result of the $1.6 million cash gain realized on the assignment of the asset purchase agreement related to radio station KDES-FM, and increased advertising revenues in our television segment, partially offset by an increase in programming and technical expenses, as described above.

We recognized a net loss of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $37.7 million for the same period in 2009, a decrease in net loss of $35.2 million. This change was primarily attributable to the $51.5 million decrease in broadcast license impairment charges, partially offset by the $17.6 million change in income tax (provision) benefit and other changes noted above.

First Quarter 2010 Conference Call

We will host a conference call to discuss our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 on Monday, May 17, 2010 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss less discontinued operations, net of income taxes, plus income tax expense or benefit, gain or loss on sale and/or disposal of property and equipment, net interest expense, interest rate swap expense or income, impairment of broadcast licenses, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense and other non-cash gains and losses. Management considers this measure an important indicator of our liquidity relating to our operations because it eliminates the effects of certain non-cash items, our discontinued operations and our capital structure. This 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income or loss and net income or loss. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from those of many companies reporting similarly named measures. See tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of net cash (used in) provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA.
