----------------

San Antonio, May 2, 2013…Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

“Our Outdoor business performed well in the U.S., and we continue to shift our international capital and operating expenses to emerging markets where we’re seeing strong growth,” said Bob Pittman, Executive Chairman of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. “Thanks to CEO William Eccleshare’s leadership, we have enhanced our U.S. operations with more effective local and national sales forces, and we’re beginning to see our strategic investments contribute to improved results. We are very well positioned to help our advertising partners reach increasingly mobile, out-of-home consumers with impactful and cost-effective campaigns.”

“Our progress in the U.S. and among our emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions tells us that we’re on the right path,” said Chief Executive Officer William Eccleshare. “In the Americas, we saw solid growth in digital as well as traditional posters, while we kept expanding innovative services to airports. In Europe, we continue to reduce costs by right-sizing our operations in the face of the lingering economic downturn while continually enhancing our sales effectiveness. We are also developing exciting products and technologies that help our clients engage consumers creatively and locally. With a global population that’s out-of-home more than ever, and almost universally connected with mobile, Clear Channel’s platform is exceedingly relevant for reaching consumers when they’re near the point of sale.”

First Quarter 2013 Results

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 1% over the same period in 2012, adjusting for the effects of foreign exchange movements1, as well as an $8 million impact from the divestiture of two businesses during the third quarter of 2012. On a reported basis, revenues of $650 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were flat with the same period in 2012.

●	Americas revenues rose $6 million, or 2%, on a reported basis and adjusted for movements in foreign exchange rates, driven by higher occupancy and capacity on digital displays, strong growth in posters on new advertisers, and growth in airports.

●

International revenues increased $2 million, or less than 1%, after adjusting for an $8 million revenue reduction due to the divestiture of two businesses during the third quarter of 2012 and a $1 million decrease from movements in foreign exchange rates. More robust economic conditions in emerging markets and certain other geographies were offset by weakened economic conditions in other markets, particularly Western Europe. On a reported basis, revenues decreased $7 million, or 2%, compared to the first three months of 2012.

The Company’s OIBDAN1 increased 18% to $98 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $83 million in the same period of 2012. Excluding the $1 million effect of movements in foreign exchange rates and a $1 million reduction due to the divestiture of two businesses during the third quarter of 2012, OIBDAN increased 21% to $99 million. Included in the first quarter 2013 OIBDAN were $7 million of operating and corporate expenses related to the Company’s strategic revenue and cost initiatives to attract additional advertising dollars to the business and improve operating efficiencies. OIBDAN for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included $6 million in expenses related to strategic revenue and cost initiatives, and also included $19 million in legal and other costs related to Brazil.

The Company’s net loss was $74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a net loss of $44 million in 2012 due primarily to higher interest expense, lower income tax benefits, and higher depreciation and amortization expense.

3 During 2012, the Company disposed of two international businesses. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, these businesses contributed $8 million in revenues, $7 million in operating expenses, and $1 million in OIBDAN.

Americas

Americas revenues rose $6 million, or 2% compared to the same period of 2012, on a reported basis and adjusted for movements in foreign exchange rates, driven by higher occupancy and capacity on digital displays, strong growth in posters on new advertisers, and growth in airports. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in specialty business revenues.

Operating expenses fell $4 million, or 2%, to $191 million, on both a reported basis and adjusted for the effects of movements in foreign exchange rates. Expenses decreased due to a favorable product mix with increased sales in our higher margin product lines, and also due to the benefits of past strategic cost initiatives.

OIBDAN, on a reported basis and excluding foreign exchange impacts, grew $10 million, or 12%, to $95 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. First quarter 2013 and 2012 OIBDAN both included approximately $1 million of expenses related to certain investments in strategic revenue and cost savings programs.

International

International revenues were up $2 million, or less than 1% compared to the same period in 2012, excluding $8 million in revenues due to the divestiture of two businesses during the third quarter of 2012, as well as a $1 million decrease due to movements in foreign exchange rates. More robust economic conditions in emerging markets and certain other geographies were offset by weakened economic conditions in other markets, particularly Western Europe. On a reported basis, revenues decreased $7 million, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2012.

Operating expenses fell $8 million in the first quarter of 2013, adjusting for $7 million of expenses due to the divestiture of two businesses during the third quarter of 2012. There was minimal impact during the quarter from movements in foreign exchange rates. Operating expenses declined due to lower variable expenses and rent driven by revenue declines in certain markets, offset by higher costs from new contracts in markets with increased revenue. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2012 included $18 million of legal and other costs related to Brazil that did not recur in the first quarter of 2013. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 also included an increase of approximately $3 million in investments in strategic revenue and cost savings programs.

International outdoor OIBDAN in the first quarter of 2013 increased $9 million, or 45%, to $30 million, adjusting for a $1 million OIBDAN reduction due to the divestiture of two businesses during the third quarter of 2012 and excluding a $1 million decrease from movements in foreign exchange rates. OIBDAN in the first quarter of 2013 included $5 million of costs incurred for investments in strategic revenue and cost savings programs compared to $3 million included in the first quarter of 2012. On a reported basis, OIBDAN increased 32% to $29 million.

Liquidity and Financial Position

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flow provided by operating activities was $33 million, cash flow used for investing activities totaled $37 million, cash flow used for financing activities was $6 million, and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash was $5 million, for a net decrease in cash of $15 million.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled approximately $39 million compared to $56 million for the same period in 2012.

Consolidated leverage ratio, defined as total debt divided by EBITDA (as defined by the Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings (“CCWH”) Senior Notes indentures) for the preceding four quarters was 6.3:1 at March 31, 2013, and senior leverage ratio, defined as senior debt divided by EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures) for the preceding four quarters was 3.5:1 at March 31, 2013. As required by the definition of EBITDA in the CCWH Senior Notes indentures, our EBITDA for the preceding four quarters of $788.9 million is calculated as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and other operating income (expense), net, plus share-based compensation, and is further adjusted for the following: (i) costs incurred in connection with severance, the closure and/or consolidation of facilities, retention charges, consulting fees and other permitted activities; (ii) extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains or losses or expenses; (iii) non-cash charges; and (iv) various other items.

The following table reflects a reconciliation of EBITDA (as defined by the CCWH Senior Notes indentures) to operating income and net cash provided by operating activities for the four quarters ended March 31, 2013:

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following tables set forth the Company’s OIBDAN for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company defines OIBDAN as consolidated net income (loss) adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses and the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: Income tax benefit (expense); Other income (expense) - net; Equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates; Gain (loss) on marketable securities; Interest expense; Other operating income (expense) – net; D&A; and Impairment charges.

The Company uses OIBDAN, among other things, 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 the Company's operational strength and performance of its business because it provides a link between profitability and net income. It is also a primary measure used by management in evaluating companies as potential acquisition targets.

The Company believes 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 the Company's management. The Company believes it helps improve investors’ ability to understand the Company's operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company's results with other companies that have different capital structures, stock option structures or tax rates. In addition, the Company believes this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by the Company's investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry.

Since OIBDAN is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. OIBDAN is not necessarily a measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs. As it excludes certain financial information compared with operating income and 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.

In addition, because a significant portion of the Company’s advertising operations are conducted in foreign markets, principally the Euro area, the U.K. and China, management reviews the operating results from its foreign operations on a constant dollar basis. A constant dollar basis (in which a foreign currency adjustment is made to show the 2013 actual foreign revenues, expenses and OIBDAN at average 2012 foreign exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of foreign exchange rate movements.

As required by the SEC, the Company provides reconciliations below to the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP, including (i) OIBDAN for each segment to consolidated operating income (loss); (ii) Revenues excluding foreign exchange effects to revenues; (iii) Expenses excluding foreign exchange effects to expenses; (iv) OIBDAN excluding foreign exchange effects to OIBDAN; (v) Expenses excluding non-cash compensation expenses to expenses; (vi) Corporate expenses excluding non-cash compensation expenses to Corporate expenses; and (vii) OIBDAN to net income (loss).
