REPORTS RESULTS FOR
THE SECOND QUARTER 2010
New York, NY — August 19, 2010 — Westwood One, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWON), a leading independent provider of network radio content and traffic information to the radio, television and on-line sectors, today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. As reflected in its financial statements, Westwood One is organized into two business segments: Network Radio and Metro Traffic. Network Radio provides network programming, including over 150 news, sports, music, talk and entertainment programs, features and live events, to approximately 5,000 radio stations. Metro Traffic consists of both a radio business (Metro Traffic radio) and a television business (Metro Television). Metro Traffic radio produces and distributes traffic and other local information reports to over 2,250 radio stations. Metro Television produces and distributes such reports to approximately 165 television stations.
Westwood One’s revenue in the second quarter was $83.4 million compared to $83.7 million in 2009, while revenue for the first six months of the year increased 4.0% to $176.3 million compared to $169.5 million in 2009.
“As many radio companies have reported, advertising spending during the recovery from the 2009 recession slowed down in the second quarter of 2010. While this affected our second quarter revenue trajectory, revenue increased for the first six months of the year, driven by a strong first quarter,” said Rod Sherwood, President.
In response to current conditions, on August 17th, Westwood One renegotiated its capital structure and modified its debt leverage covenants with its lenders to provide the Company with additional liquidity, and increased operating and financial flexibility. The Gores Group is infusing additional capital of up to $20 million in the form of $15 million of equity and $5 million by guaranteeing an increased revolver. $10 million of this capital will be provided by September 7th. The remainder will be provided by Gores no later than February 28, 2011 unless the Company receives net cash proceeds of at least $10 million from the issuance and sale of Company equity from any other party. As part of the amendments, the quarterly debt leverage covenants were eased for the remainder of the term, beginning with September 30, 2010. These new covenant levels will provide the Company with a significant increase in operational and financial flexibility, reduce financial risk, and allow the Company to manage its business strategically, including considering investments and other opportunities for growth.

 

 


 

Network Radio revenue was flat for the second quarter of 2010, and was up 4.7% for the first six months of the year. Revenue for the total Metro Traffic business was flat in the second quarter (as gains in Metro Traffic radio were offset by decreases in Metro Television revenue) and was up 3.2% for the first six months of the year. Metro Traffic radio revenue was up 3.0% in the second quarter, and up 3.2% for the first six months of the year, reflecting slow but steady growth in local radio advertising. Metro Television revenue declined by 10.2% in the second quarter, but showed gains of 3.1% for the first six months of the year.
Westwood One is showing increased bookings in both Metro Traffic and Network Radio in the third and fourth quarters, as advertising spending regains momentum. Bookings are positive especially for traffic advertising and for sports programming, which gets underway with the kick-off of the NFL season in September. In addition, there are positive indications in the current TV upfront on a revenue basis.
Westwood One’s operating loss in the second quarter was $3.0 million, which represents a $5.3 million improvement over the second quarter of 2009. This improvement was due to lower restructuring and special charges, depreciation expenses and corporate expense. Free cash flow(1) in the second quarter was $6.0 million, representing an improvement of $25.0 million, as compared to a free cash flow usage of $19.0 million in 2009. This was due to a favorable change in working capital, a federal tax refund, and a lower net loss, partially offset by changes in deferred taxes and higher capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $4.6 million from $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. The primary EBITDA decrease was in the Metro Traffic business, where earnings were up slightly for Metro Traffic radio, but were offset by significant decreases for Metro Television. In the Metro Television business, declining revenue, a tight scatter market and related inventory pricing pressures contributed to lower margins. Earnings for Network Radio declined due to increased expenses for programming and production, and investments in the salesforce for Network Radio.
The Company’s strategy for the second half of 2010 remains focused on meeting the needs of affiliate and advertising customers by creating customized solutions through high quality programming and utilizing all of Westwood One’s assets to attract the targeted audiences they seek.
In the second quarter Westwood One introduced new and expanded programming in Network Radio, including renewing The Dennis Miller Show and NBC News Radio for multi-year terms, and launching The Gayle King Show in major markets, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Atlanta.
In music and entertainment programming, the Company launched a weekend show for CMT Radio Live in May, and in June, along with MTV Networks, launched VH1 Classic Rock Nights with Eddie Webb. In the events world, Westwood One continued a series of exclusive radio broadcast partnerships with the GRAMMYS, the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM), the CMT Music Awards for country music, the BET Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA).These exclusive events offered advertisers unique sponsorships and gave affiliates a wealth of music and entertainment talent for their local broadcasts.

In Metro Traffic, the traffic affiliate base was expanded in key markets, adding new stations in Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, DC and Baltimore. In addition, major market stations were added for The Weather Channel and four all-sports stations were signed for live, local, custom Sports Reports.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010(3)
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, revenue was $83.4 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.2%, compared to $83.7 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Network Radio revenue was $40.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.3%, compared to $40.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. Although advertising revenue was up in sports, music and entertainment programming, it was offset by declines in talk radio and other news programming.
Overall, Metro Traffic revenue for the second quarter was $43.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.2%, from $43.5 million in 2009. Revenue for Metro Traffic radio increased, particularly in the key categories of automotive, financial services and restaurants, but this gain was offset by declining revenue for Metro Television.
The operating loss in the second quarter of 2010 improved by $5.3 million, to $3.0 million from $8.3 million in 2009. The improvement reflects decreased restructuring and special charges of $7.3 million, lower depreciation expense of $1.7 million and lower corporate expense of $0.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by investments in Network Radio programming and in the salesforces for both Network Radio and Metro Traffic radio, and by lower revenue and higher cash-buy inventory costs in Metro Television.
Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the second quarter of 2010 was $4.6 million, a decrease of $4.5 million from $9.1 million in 2009. This earnings decline was primarily the result of Metro Television, which experienced higher inventory cash buys related to market pricing pressures, and a decline in advertising revenues. Network Radio’s earnings declined due to higher expenses in programming and production, and investments in salespeople.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2010 increased $1.3 million, or 28.9%, to $6.0 million from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. This reflects the higher average interest rates on the outstanding debt, which resulted from the refinancing that closed in April 2009, amendment costs associated with the amendment of the debt agreements in the first quarter of 2010, and increased interest expense related to a capital lease incurred in connection with the Culver City sale-leaseback transaction that closed in December 2009.
The Company’s tax benefit increased $0.6 million to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2009 due to a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by a lower pre-tax loss.
For the second quarter of 2010, net loss was $5.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $10.0 million, or $29.48 per diluted share in 2009. Per share amounts reflect the effect of the 200-for-1 reverse stock split of our common stock that occurred on August 3, 2009. Second quarter 2009 average share amounts are significantly lower than second quarter 2010 as a result of the conversions of shares of preferred stock in July and August 2009.
Free cash flow (2) in the second quarter of 2010 was $6.0 million as compared to a free cash flow usage of $19.0 million in 2009, representing an improvement of $25.0 million. This was due to a favorable change in working capital of $13.7 million, a federal tax refund of $12.9 million and a lower net loss of $4.5 million, partially offset by changes in deferred taxes of $5.5 million and higher capital expenditures of $0.6 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010(3)
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenue increased $6.8 million, or 4.0%, to $176.3 million compared with $169.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Network revenue increased to $95.6 million from $91.3 million for 2009, an increase of $4.3 million, or 4.7%. This increase was primarily from higher sports advertising revenue, including the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, the NFL games, and the 2010 Winter Olympics, partially offset by decreases in talk radio.
Metro Traffic revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $80.7 million from $78.2 million in 2009, an increase of $2.5 million, or 3.2%. This increase was primarily the result of increased radio advertising revenue in the automotive, financial services and restaurant sectors, and increased television advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2010.
The operating loss in the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $9.5 million compared with an operating loss of $27.9 million in 2009, or a decrease in operating loss of $18.4 million. The decreased loss reflects the increase in revenue, lower restructuring and special charges and lower operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $6.8 million, an increase of $4.7 million from $2.1 million in 2009. This improvement was due to increased Network Radio and Metro Traffic revenue, and lower production, programming, and station compensation expenses, partially offset by higher inventory-related operating costs. These lower expenses resulted from our cost reduction programs enacted in late 2008 and 2009.
Interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $3.5 million, or 43.7%, to $11.4 million from $7.9 million in 2009. This reflects the higher average interest rates on our outstanding debt, which resulted from the April 2009 refinancing, amendment costs associated with our amendment of our debt agreements in the first quarter of 2010, and increased interest expense related to a capital lease incurred in connection with the December 2009 Culver City sale-leaseback transaction.
The Company’s tax benefit decreased $1.5 million to $8.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $10.3 million in 2009 due to a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by a lower pre-tax loss in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the first six months of 2009.
For six months ended June 30, 2010, net loss was $12.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared with a net loss in 2009 of $25.1 million, or $62.39 per diluted share. Per share amounts reflect the effect of the 200-for-1 reverse stock split of our common stock that occurred on August 3, 2009. Average share amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were significantly lower than the six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of the conversions of shares of preferred stock in July and August 2009.
Free cash flow (2) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $8.7 million as compared to a free cash flow usage of $18.0 million for the comparable period in 2009, representing an improvement of $26.7 million. This was due to a federal tax refund of $12.9 million, favorable changes in working capital of $6.3 million and a lower net loss of $13.0 million, partially offset by changes in deferred taxes of $3.9 million and higher capital expenditures of $1.6 million.
Outlook
Westwood One is positioned to take advantage of a stronger marketplace with an expanded salesforce, and investments in new programming that the Company believes will help drive growth in the future. In addition, the Company has increased its operational and financial flexibility by securing increased capital from Gores, and amending its debt agreements.
There is favorable momentum in bookings for Network Radio and Metro Traffic radio for the third and fourth quarters, as well as positive indications in Metro Television’s upfront revenue. As a result, the Company remains cautiously optimistic that the Company’s advertising revenue will improve as advertising spending in the industry increases during the second half of 2010.

Footnotes to Press Release
     
(1)  
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the accompanying financial tables. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. The Company uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate its operating performance. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the Company’s cash available to service debt and the Company’s ability to make strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain its capital assets and fund ongoing operations. As a result, free cash flow is a significant measure of the Company’s ability to generate long term value. The Company believes the presentation of free cash flow is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by management. In addition, free cash flow is also a primary measure 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.
 
   
As free cash flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, free cash flow should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. In arriving at free cash flow, the Company adjusts net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to remove the impact of cash flow timing differences to arrive at a measure which the Company believes more accurately reflects funds available for discretionary use. Specifically, the Company adjusts net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) for capital expenditures, special charges, and deferred taxes, in addition to removing the impact of sources and or uses of cash resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Accordingly, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are not reflected.

(2)  
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is reconciled to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the accompanying financial tables. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted to exclude the following: interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), restructuring charges, special charges, other non-operating income, amortization of deferred financing costs and changes in assets and liabilities including deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
   
Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company to calculate its compliance with its debt covenants under the terms of its senior notes and senior credit facility. The Company believes this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in the same manner as the Company’s lenders (who also own approximately 22.5% of the Company’s equity as a result of the refinancing, excluding Gores).
 
   
Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use, and is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure, which is different from operating cash flow, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure calculated and prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.
 
(3)  
As a result of our April 2009 refinancing, we applied the acquisition method of accounting and applied the SEC rules and the authoritative guidance regarding “push down” accounting treatment. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements and transactional records prior to the closing of the refinancing reflect the historical accounting basis in our assets and liabilities and are labeled predecessor company, while such records subsequent to the refinancing are labeled successor company and reflect the push down basis of accounting for the new fair values in our financial statements. This is presented in our consolidated financial statements by a vertical black line division which appears between the columns entitled Predecessor Company and Successor Company on the statements and relevant notes. The black line signifies that the amounts shown for the periods prior to and subsequent to the refinancing are not comparable. Management, however, continues to use such statements to measure the Company’s performance against comparable prior periods. For purposes of presenting a comparison of our 2009 results to the current periods, we have presented our 2009 results as the mathematical addition of the predecessor company and successor company periods. We believe that this presentation provides the most meaningful information about our results of operations. This approach is not consistent with GAAP, may yield results that are not strictly comparable on a period-to-period basis, and may not reflect the actual results we would have achieved.
