We reported higher revenue and earnings per share for the second quarter and continued to outperform many in the media arena. Strong relative performance in both Outdoor and Radio are a testament to the wisdom of continuing to do what we do best.

Radio Broadcasting The Company‘s radio broadcasting revenue declined approximately $54.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year. Decreases in local and national revenues were partially offset by increases in traffic and on-line revenues. Local and national revenues were down as a result of overall weakness in advertising. The Company‘s radio revenue experienced declines across all different sized markets and advertising categories including automotive, retail and consumer 3
services. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company‘s total prime minutes sold and its prime average minute rate decreased compared to the second quarter of 2007. The average minute rate for the 60 second spots declined more than the average minute rate of the shorter duration spots during this period. Overall there was a decrease in operating expenses across the Company‘s radio markets with a decrease of approximately $17.3 million primarily from reduced advertising and promotion expenses and a decline in commission expenses associated with the revenue decline. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in syndicated radio programming expenses attributable mostly to contract talent payments. Outdoor Advertising The Company‗s outdoor advertising revenue increased 9% during the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007. Included in the 2008 results is an approximate $52.2 million increase related to foreign exchange when compared to 2007. Outdoor advertising expenses increased 14% when compared to the same period in 2007. Included in the 2008 results is an approximate $41.1 million increase related to foreign exchange when compared to 2007. Americas Outdoor Revenue increased approximately $8.1 million during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, primarily from increases in airport and street furniture revenues as well as digital display revenue. The increase in street furniture revenue was primarily the result of new contracts and increased rates while the increase in airport revenue was due to new contracts and increased rates and occupancy. Digital display revenue growth was primarily attributable to an increase in digital displays. Partially offsetting the revenue increase was a decline in bulletin and poster revenue. The decline in bulletin revenue was primarily attributable to decreased occupancy while the decline in poster revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in rate. Leading advertising categories during the quarter were retail, amusements and financial services which all experienced revenue growth for the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the second quarter of 2007. Revenue growth was led by Los Angeles, Boston, Latin America and Canada. The Company‘s Americas operating expenses increased $20.1 million primarily from higher site lease expenses of $15.7 million mostly attributable to new taxi, airport and street furniture contracts. Administrative expenses associated with various legal expenses also increased during the quarter. o International Outdoor Revenue increased approximately $70.0 million, with roughly $50.1 million from movements in foreign exchange. The remainder of the revenue growth was primarily attributable to strong growth in China, Turkey and Australia and due to the Company‘s Romanian operations which were acquired at the end of the second quarter of 2007. Growth was partially offset by revenue declines in France, due to the loss of a contract for advertising on railways, and the United Kingdom. Operating expenses increased $57.5 million. Included in the increase is approximately $39.5 million related to movements in foreign exchange. The remaining increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in site lease expenses and other operating and selling expenses associated with the increase in revenue. 4

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (D&A), Non-cash Compensation Expense and Gain on Disposition of Assets – Net (OIBDAN) The following tables set forth the Company‘s OIBDAN for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company defines OIBDAN as net income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expense and the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: Discontinued operations; Minority interest, net of tax; Income tax benefit (expense); Other income (expense) - net; Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates; Gain (loss) on marketable securities; Interest expense; Gain on disposition of assets - net D&A; and merger costs. 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 planning and forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of executives and other members of management. 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 cash flows from operating activities. 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. 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, 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. Additionally, the Company‘s bank credit facilities use this measure for compliance with leverage covenants. 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 France and the United Kingdom, management reviews the operating results from its foreign operations on a constant dollar basis. A constant dollar basis (i.e. a foreign currency adjustment is made to the 2008 actual foreign revenues and expenses at average 2007 foreign exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of foreign exchange 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; (ii) Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects to revenue; (iii) Expense excluding foreign exchange effects to expenses; (iv) OIBDAN to net income; and (v) Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding certain items discussed earlier. 10

We reported higher revenue and earnings per share for the second quarter and continued to outperform many in the media arena. Strong relative performance in both Outdoor and Radio are a testament to the wisdom of continuing to do what we do best. We exert strict cost discipline and invest in the growth drivers of our core businesses.

Radio Broadcasting The Company‘s radio broadcasting revenue declined approximately $54.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of the prior year. Decreases in local and national revenues were partially offset by increases in traffic and on-line revenues. Local and national revenues were down as a result of overall weakness in advertising. The Company‘s radio revenue experienced declines across all different sized markets and advertising categories including automotive, retail and consumer 3
  • 4. services. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company‘s total prime minutes sold and its prime average minute rate decreased compared to the second quarter of 2007. The average minute rate for the 60 second spots declined more than the average minute rate of the shorter duration spots during this period. Overall there was a decrease in operating expenses across the Company‘s radio markets with a decrease of approximately $17.3 million primarily from reduced advertising and promotion expenses and a decline in commission expenses associated with the revenue decline. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in syndicated radio programming expenses attributable mostly to contract talent payments. Outdoor Advertising The Company‗s outdoor advertising revenue increased 9% during the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007. Included in the 2008 results is an approximate $52.2 million increase related to foreign exchange when compared to 2007. Outdoor advertising expenses increased 14% when compared to the same period in 2007. Included in the 2008 results is an approximate $41.1 million increase related to foreign exchange when compared to 2007. Americas Outdoor Revenue increased approximately $8.1 million during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, primarily from increases in airport and street furniture revenues as well as digital display revenue. The increase in street furniture revenue was primarily the result of new contracts and increased rates while the increase in airport revenue was due to new contracts and increased rates and occupancy. Digital display revenue growth was primarily attributable to an increase in digital displays. Partially offsetting the revenue increase was a decline in bulletin and poster revenue. The decline in bulletin revenue was primarily attributable to decreased occupancy while the decline in poster revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in rate. Leading advertising categories during the quarter were retail, amusements and financial services which all experienced revenue growth for the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the second quarter of 2007. Revenue growth was led by Los Angeles, Boston, Latin America and Canada. The Company‘s Americas operating expenses increased $20.1 million primarily from higher site lease expenses of $15.7 million mostly attributable to new taxi, airport and street furniture contracts. Administrative expenses associated with various legal expenses also increased during the quarter. o International Outdoor Revenue increased approximately $70.0 million, with roughly $50.1 million from movements in foreign exchange. The remainder of the revenue growth was primarily attributable to strong growth in China, Turkey and Australia and due to the Company‘s Romanian operations which were acquired at the end of the second quarter of 2007. Growth was partially offset by revenue declines in France, due to the loss of a contract for advertising on railways, and the United Kingdom. Operating expenses increased $57.5 million. Included in the increase is approximately $39.5 million related to movements in foreign exchange. The remaining increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in site lease expenses and other operating and selling expenses associated with the increase in revenue. 4

  • 10. Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (D&A), Non-cash Compensation Expense and Gain on Disposition of Assets – Net (OIBDAN) The following tables set forth the Company‘s OIBDAN for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company defines OIBDAN as net income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expense and the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: Discontinued operations; Minority interest, net of tax; Income tax benefit (expense); Other income (expense) - net; Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates; Gain (loss) on marketable securities; Interest expense; Gain on disposition of assets - net D&A; and merger costs. 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 planning and forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of executives and other members of management. 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 cash flows from operating activities. 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. 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, 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. Additionally, the Company‘s bank credit facilities use this measure for compliance with leverage covenants. 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 France and the United Kingdom, management reviews the operating results from its foreign operations on a constant dollar basis. A constant dollar basis (i.e. a foreign currency adjustment is made to the 2008 actual foreign revenues and expenses at average 2007 foreign exchange rates) allows for comparison of operations independent of foreign exchange 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; (ii) Revenue excluding foreign exchange effects to revenue; (iii) Expense excluding foreign exchange effects to expenses; (iv) OIBDAN to net income; and (v) Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding certain items discussed earlier. 10
