Item 8.01    Other Events.

This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) is being filed by Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to retrospectively adjust certain financial information and related disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed on May 3, 2018 (“2017 Form 10-K”), as described below. The information in this Current Report is not an amendment to, or restatement of, the 2017 Form 10-K.

Change in Segment Reporting

As disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting and determined that its Latin America operations should be managed by its International outdoor leadership team. As a result, beginning on January 1, 2018, the operations of Latin America are no longer reflected within the Company’s Americas segment and are included in the results of its International segment. Accordingly, the Company has recast the corresponding segment disclosures for prior periods to include Latin America within the International segment.

Corrections to Prior Periods

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company identified misstatements associated with VAT obligations in its International segment, which resulted in an understatement of the Company's VAT obligation. As described in the Company’s Form 10-Q as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, filed on November 8, 2018, the Company concluded that these misstatements were immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to any of the Company's prior quarterly and annual financial statements previously filed in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. As a result, amendment of such reports is not required. While the Company concluded that the misstatements were immaterial to each of the prior reporting periods affected, the Company further concluded that correcting the errors cumulatively would materially misstate the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Accordingly, the Company is correcting the VAT misstatements, as well as other previously identified immaterial errors, by revising the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

To reflect the change in segments and the corrections to prior periods, the following Items of the 2017 Form 10-K have been adjusted retrospectively (which Items as adjusted are attached as Exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein):

•
Part I, Item 1. Business
•
Part II, Item 6. Selected Financial Data
•
Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
•
Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

This Current Report does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date of the 2017 Form 10-K, and does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the 2017 Form 10-K other than as required to retrospectively reflect the change in segment reporting, as described above, to reflect the impact of applying the full retrospective method of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was adopted as of January 1, 2018 and to reflect the impact of applying ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which was adopted during the first quarter of 2018. All other information in the 2017 Form 10-K remains unchanged. Without limitation of the foregoing, this filing does not purport to update the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for information known to management subsequent to the date of filing of the 2017 Form 10-K. The information in this Current Report should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Form 10-K. For information on developments since the filing of the 2017 Form 10-K, please refer to the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
