NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Preparation of Interim Financial Statements
All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to iHeartMedia, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s reportable segments are iHeartMedia (“iHM”), Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas outdoor” or “Americas outdoor advertising”) and International outdoor advertising (“International outdoor” or “International outdoor advertising”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. DueAs described below, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization (as defined below), the consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date (as defined below), are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date. Refer to seasonality and other factors, the resultsNote 3, "Fresh Start Accounting," for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year.additional information. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 20162018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Also included in the consolidated financial statements are entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which the Company owns 20% to 50% of the voting common stock or otherwise exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process.
Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Certain prior-periodof the Company's operations have been presented as discontinued. The Company presents businesses that represent components as discontinued operations when the components meet the criteria for held for sale, are sold, or spun-off and their disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on its operations and financial results. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations.
As part of the Separation and Reorganization (as defined below), the Company reevaluated its segment reporting, resulting in the presentation of two businesses:
Audio, which provides media and entertainment services via broadcast and digital delivery and also includes the Company’s events and national syndication businesses and  
Audio & Media Services, which provides other audio and media services, including the Company’s media representation business and the Company's provider of scheduling and broadcast software.
Prior periods have been recast to reflect the Company's current segment presentation. See Note 13, Segment Data.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 20172019 presentation.
Voluntary Filing under Chapter 11
Going Concern Considerations
DuringOn March 14, 2018 (the "Petition Date"), the second quarterCompany, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications") and certain of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, PresentationCompany's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibilitythe United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures.  The Company adopted this standardthe United States Bankruptcy Court for the year ended December 31, 2016. Under this standard, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the date the Company’s financial statements were issued (November 8, 2017). Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due before November 8, 2018.
AsSouthern District of September 30, 2017, the Company had $286.4 million of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet, including $222.4 million of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's subsidiary,Texas, Houston Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. ("CCOH"(“CCOH”). As of September 30, 2017, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries did not file voluntary petitions for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and were not Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. On April 28, 2018, the Company had $85.0 millionand the other Debtors filed a plan of excess availability under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility, subject to limitations in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements.

AlthoughDisclosure Statement. On January 22, 2019, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
On May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied and the Company has generated operating income in excessemerged from Chapter 11 through (a) a series of $1.0 billion in each oftransactions (the “Separation”) through which CCOH, its parent Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with CCOH and CCH, the years ended December 31, 2016“Outdoor Group”) were separated from, and 2015,ceased to be controlled by, the Company incurred net losses and had negative cash flows from operations for eachits subsidiaries (the “iHeart Group”), and (b) a series of these years as a result of significant cash interest payments arising from the Company's substantial debt balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company used cash of $558.7 million for operating activities, which included cash paid for interest of $1,426.4 million. The Company's current forecast indicates it will continue to incur net losses and generate negative cash flows from operating activities as a result of the Company's indebtedness and significant related interest expense.

During the Predecessor period, the Company applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during 2018 and 2019 related to the Chapter 11 Cases, including the write-off of unamortized long-term debt fees and discounts associated with debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise, and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the Predecessor period.
ASC 852 requires certain additional reporting for financial statements prepared between the bankruptcy filing date and the CCOH boarddate of directors declaresemergence from bankruptcy, including:

As discussed below, the Company has plans to reduce its principal and interest obligations and to create additional liquidity.
The Company is in advanced negotiations with potential lenders to refinance the amounts outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility and currently expects to refinance the amounts outstanding under that facility prior to its maturity. In addition, management is taking actions to maximize cash available to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due in the ordinarynormal course of business. In addition, as more fully described in Note 3,During the Company launched notes exchange offers and term loan offers in March 2017, which notes exchange offers and term loan offers remain open as of November 8, 2017. The Company has engaged in discussions with many of its lenders and noteholders regarding the terms of the global exchange offers and term loan offers, which have been revised since launch and remain subject to substantial further revision, but no agreement has been reached with respect to those discussions and the discussions remain ongoing. These actions are intended to mitigate those conditions which raise substantial doubt ofChapter 11 Cases, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern forwas contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement the Company’s Plan of Reorganization, among other factors. As a period within 12 months following November 8, 2017.
Whileresult of the Company continues to work toward completingeffectiveness and implementation of the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers or other similar transactions, refinancing the amounts outstanding under the receivables-based credit facility and taking other actions to create additional liquidity,Plan of Reorganization, there is no assurance that the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers or other similar transactions, will be completed, that the amount outstanding under the receivables-based credit facility will be refinanced or that the Company will be able to create additional liquidity. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months will depend on its ability to achieve forecasted results, its ability to conserve cash, its ability to refinance the amounts outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility, its ability to successfully complete the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers or other similar transactions and achieve sufficient cash interest savings therefrom and its ability to complete other liquidity-generating transactions. Based on the uncertainty of achieving these actions and the significance of the forecasted future negative cash flows resulting from the Company's substantial debt balance, including anticipated future cash interest payments (including interest due in the fourth quarter of 2017 and in 2018) and the maturities of the $365.0 million in current borrowings under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility that matures December 24, 2017, the $51.5 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, the $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and the $24.8 million of contractual AHYDO catch-up payments to be made on iHeartCommunications' 14% Senior Notes due 2021 beginning with the interest payment due on August 1, 2018, management has determined that there islonger substantial doubt as toabout the Company’sCompany's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following November 8, 2017.concern.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Leases
During the third quarterThe Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, which created ASC 842, Leases, and all subsequent ASUs relating to this Topic, as of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective DateJanuary 1, 2019 (collectively, "ASC 842"). This update provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognitionnew lease accounting standard, which supersedes previous lease accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP.  The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method,GAAP, results in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company expects to utilize the full retrospective method. The Company has substantially completed its evaluation of the potential changes from adopting the new standard on its future financial reporting and disclosures, which included reviews of contractual terms for all of the Company’s significant revenue streams and the development of an implementation plan. The Company continues to execute on its implementation plan, including detailed policy drafting and training of segment personnel. Based on its evaluation, the Company does not expect material changes to its 2016 or 2017 consolidated revenues, operating income or balance sheets as a result of the implementation of this standard.
During the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new leasing standard presents significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees.lessees, most significantly by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Lessor accounting is also updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard ("ASC Topic 606"), which was issuedadopted in the third quarter of 2015. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.
The Company is currently evaluatingapplied the impact of thetransition provisions of this standard at January 1, 2019 following the optional transition method provided by ASU No. 2018-11; consequently, the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements for periods before the date of adoption continue to be presented in accordance with ASC Topic 840. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases and to carry forward the historical lease classification for those leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption.
Upon adoption of ASC 842, prepaid and deferred rent balances, which were historically presented separately, were combined and presented net within the ROU asset. Additionally, deferred gains related to previous transactions that were historically accounted for as sale and operating leasebacks in accordance with ASC Topic 840 were eliminated and recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity, resulting in an increase to equity, net of tax, of $128.9 million. Under ASC Topic 840, such gains were recognized ratably over the lease term as a credit to operating lease expense, and operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included credits of $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the amortization of these gains, which were not recognized in the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor), the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor).
Adoption of the new standard had a material impact on itsour consolidated balance sheets, but it did not have a material impact on our other consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Refer to Note 5, Revenue, and Note 6, Leases, for more information.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
During the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This update eliminateseliminated the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Entities willare required to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The standard is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
During the second quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This update mandates that entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of a stock-based award changes. Entities will have to make all of the disclosures about modifications that are required today, in addition to disclosing that compensation expense hasn't changed. Additionally, the new guidance also clarifies that a modification to an award could be significant and therefore require disclosure, even if the modification accounting is not required. The guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - FRESH START ACCOUNTING
Fresh Start
In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting on the Effective Date. The Company was required to adopt fresh start accounting because (i) the holders of $9.9 millionexisting voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company's assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.
In accordance with ASC 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in fixedconformity with ASC 805, "Business Combinations." The reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company's assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and $29.5 million in intangible assets (including $2.3 millionis reported as goodwill. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after May 1, 2019 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.
Reorganization Value

As set forth in goodwill).the Plan of Reorganization and the Disclosure Statement, the enterprise value of the Successor Company was estimated to be between $8.0 billion and $9.5 billion. Based on the estimates and assumptions discussed below, the Company estimated the enterprise value to be $8.75 billion, which is the mid-point of the range of enterprise value.
Management estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company utilizing the selected publicly traded companies analysis approach, the discounted cash flow analysis (“DCF”) approach and the selected transactions analysis approach. The Company recognized a net gainuse of $28.9 million relatedeach approach provides corroboration for the other approaches. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the selected publicly traded companies analysis method, management applied valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies to the sale,same operating data of the Company. The selected publicly traded companies analysis identified a group of comparable companies giving consideration to lines of business and markets served, size and geography. The valuation multiples were derived based on historical and projected financial measures of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and applied to projected operating data of the Company.
To estimate enterprise value utilizing the discounted cash flow method, management established an estimate of future cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 with a terminal value and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 with a terminal value were based upon certain financial projections and assumptions provided to the Bankruptcy Court. The expected cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included, calculated using the terminal multiple method, which estimates a range of values at which the Successor Company will be valued at the end of the Projection Period based on applying a terminal multiple to final year OIBDAN, which is defined as consolidated operating income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses included within corporate expenses, as well as Depreciation and amortization, Impairment charges and Other operating income (expense), net.
DuringTo estimate enterprise value utilizing the third quarterselected transactions analysis, management applied valuation multiples derived from an analysis of 2017, Americas outdoor soldconsideration paid and net debt assumed from publicly disclosed merger or acquisition transactions to the broadcast cash flows of the Successor Company. The selected transactions analysis identified companies and assets involved in publicly disclosed merger and acquisition transactions for which the targets had operating and financial characteristics comparable in certain respects to the Successor Company.

A. Separation of CCOH Adjustments
(1) On May 1, 2019, as part of the Separation, the outstanding shares of both classes of CCOH common stock were consolidated such that CCH held all of the outstanding CCOH Class A common stock that was held by subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications, through a series of share distributions by other subsidiaries that held CCOH common stock and a conversion of CCOH Class B common stock that CCH held to CCOH Class A common stock. Prior to the Separation, iHeartCommunications owned approximately 89.1% of the economic rights and approximately 99% of the voting rights of CCOH. To complete the Separation, CCOH merged with and into CCH, with CCH surviving the merger and changing its name to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“New CCOH”), and pre-merger shares of CCOH Class A common stock (other than shares of CCOH Class A common stock held by CCH or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CCH) were converted into an equal number of shares of post-merger common stock of New CCOH. iHeartCommunications transferred the post-merger common stock of New CCOH it held to Claimholders pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization but retained 31,269,762 shares. Such retained shares were distributed to two affiliated Claimholders on July 18, 2019. Upon completion of the merger and Separation New CCOH became an independent public company. Upon distribution of the shares held by iHeartCommunications, the Company does not hold any ownership interest in CCOH.

The assets and liabilities of CCOH have been classified as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations reflect the assets and liabilities of CCOH, which are presented as discontinued operations as of the Effective Date. CCOH’s assets and liabilities are adjusted to: (1) eliminate the balance on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note and the balance on the intercompany payable due to iHeartCommunications from CCOH’s consolidated balance sheet, which are intercompany amounts that were eliminated in consolidation; (2) eliminate CCOH’s Noncontrolling interest and treasury shares; and (3) eliminate other intercompany balances.

Reflects the fair value adjustment as of May 1, 2019 to eliminate certain prepaid expenses related to software implementation costs and other upfront payments. The Company historically incurred third-party implementation fees in connection with installing various cloud-based software products, and these amounts were recorded as prepaid expenses and recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the various contracts. The Company determined that the remaining unamortized costs related to such implementation fees do not provide any rights that result in future economic benefits. In addition, the Company pays signing bonuses to certain of its on-air personalities, and these amounts were recorded as prepaid expenses and recognized as a component of Direct operating expenses over the terms of the various contracts. To the extent these contracts do not contain substantive claw-back provisions, these prepaid amounts do not provide any enforceable rights that result in future economic benefits. Accordingly, the balances related to these contracts as of May 1, 2019 were adjusted to zero.

Property was valued using a market approach comparing similar properties to recent market transactions. Equipment and towers were valued primarily using a replacement cost approach. Internally-developed and owned software technology assets were valued primarily using the Royalty Savings Method, similar to the approach used in valuing the Company’s tradenames and trademarks. Estimated royalty rates were determined for each of the software technology assets considering the relative contribution to the Company’s overall profitability as well as available public market information regarding market royalty rates for similar assets. The selected royalty rates were applied to the revenue generated by the software technology assets. The forecasted cash flows expected to be generated as a result of the royalty savings were discounted to present value utilizing a discount rate considering overall business risks and risks associated with the asset being valued. For certain of the software technology assets, the Company used the cost approach which utilized historical financial data regarding development costs and expected future profit associated with the assets. The adjustment to the Company’s property, plant and equipment consists of a $182.9 million increase in tangible property and equipment and a $151.0 million increase in software technology assets

(a) FCC licenses. The fair value of the indefinite-lived asset isFCC licenses was determined primarily using the direct valuation method as prescribed in ASC 805-20-S99. Under the direct valuation method, the fair value of the indefinite-lived assets is calculated atIncome Approach and, for smaller markets a combination of the market level as prescribed by ASC 350-30-35.Income approach and the Market Approach. The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist it in the development of the assumptions and the Company’s determination of the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets.FCC licenses.

Under the direct valuation method, the fair value of the FCC licenses was calculated at the market level as prescribed by ASC 350. The application of the direct valuation method attempts to isolate the income that is properly attributable to the indefinite-lived intangible assetFCC licenses alone (that is, apart from tangible and identified intangible assets and goodwill). It is based upon modeling a hypothetical “greenfield” build-up to a “normalized” enterprise that, by design, lacks inherent goodwill and whose only other assets have essentially been paid for (or added) as part of the build-up process. The Company forecasts revenue, expenses, and cash flows over a ten-year period for each of its markets in its application of the direct valuation method. The Company also calculates a

“normalized” residual year which represents the perpetual cash flows of each market. The residual year cash flow was capitalized to arrive at the terminal value of the licenses in each market.
Under the direct valuation method, it is assumed that rather than acquiring indefinite-lived intangible assetsFCC licenses as part of a going concern business, the buyer hypothetically develops indefinite-lived intangible assetsobtains FCC licenses and builds a new operation with similar attributes from scratch. Thus, the buyer incurs start-up costs during the build-up phase which are normally associated with going concern value. Initial capital costs are deducted from the discounted cash flow model which results in value that is directly attributable to the indefinite-lived intangible assets.
The key assumptions usingFCC licenses. In applying the direct valuation method to the Company’s FCC licenses, the licenses are grouped by type (e.g. FM licenses vs. AM licenses) and market size in order to ensure appropriate assumptions are used in valuing the various FCC licenses based on population and demographics that influence the level of revenues generated by each FCC license, using industry projections. The key assumptions used in applying the direct valuation method include market revenue growth rates, market share, profit margin, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up capital costs and losses incurred during the build-up period, the risk-adjusted discount rate (“WACC”) and terminal values. ThisThe WACC was calculated by weighting the required returns on interest-bearing debt and common equity capital in proportion to their estimated percentages based on a market participant capital structure.

For licenses valued using the Market Transaction Method, the Company used publicly available data, is populated using industry normalized information representing an averagewhich included sales of comparable radio stations and FCC license or billboard permit within a market.auction data involving radio broadcast licenses to estimate the fair value of FCC licenses. Similar to the application of the Income approach for the FCC licenses, the Company grouped licenses by type and market size for comparison to historical market transactions.

The Company recognized impairment charges relatedhistorical book value of the FCC licenses as of May 1, 2019 was subtracted from the fair value of the FCC licenses to its indefinite-liveddetermine the adjustment to decrease the value of Indefinite-lived intangible assets within one iHM radio market of $6.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For purposes of estimating the fair values of customer/advertiser relationships and site-leasestalent contracts, the Company primarily utilized the Income Approach (specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, or MPEEM) to

IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

estimate fair value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible assets after deducting contributory asset charges. The cash flows attributable to each grouping of customer/advertiser relationships were adjusted for the appropriate contributory asset charges (e.g., FCC licenses, working capital, tradenames, technology, workforce, etc.). The discount rate utilized to present-value the after-tax cash flows was selected based on consideration of the overall business risks and the risks associated with the specific assets being valued. Additionally, for certain advertiser relationships the Company used the Cost Approach using historical financial data regarding the sales, administrative and overhead expenses related to the Company’s selling efforts associated with revenue for both existing and new advertisers. The ratio of expenses for selling efforts to revenue was applied to total revenue from new customers to determine an estimated cost per revenue dollar of revenue generated by new customers. This ratio was applied to total revenue from existing customers to estimate the replacement cost of existing customer/advertiser relationships. The historical book value of customer/advertiser relationships as of May 1, 2019 was subtracted from the fair value of the customer/advertiser relationships determined as described above to determine the adjustment to increase the value of the customer/advertiser relationship intangible assets by $1,604.1 million.

For purposes of estimating the fair value of trademarks and tradenames, the Company primarily used the Royalty Savings Method, a variation of the Income approach. Estimated royalty rates were determined for each of the trademarks and tradenames considering the relative contribution to the Company’s overall profitability as well as available public information regarding market royalty rates for similar assets. The selected royalty rates were applied to the revenue generated by the trademarks and tradenames to determine the amount of royalty payments saved as a result of owning these assets. The forecasted cash flows expected to be generated as a result of the royalty savings were discounted to present value utilizing a discount rate considering overall business risks and risks associated with the asset being valued. The historical book values of talent contracts, trademarks and tradenames and other contractual rights, allintangible assets as of May 1, 2019 were subtracted from the fair values determined as described above to determine the adjustments as follows:

Customer/advertiser relationships$1,604.1

(c) Included within other intangible assets are permanent easements, which have an indefinite useful life. All other intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements, or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. Permanent easements are indefinite-lived intangible assets which include certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company.  The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets.  These assets are recorded at cost.

(6)The operating lease obligation as of May 1, 2019 had been calculated using an incremental borrowing rate applicable to the Company while it was a debtor-in-possession before its emergence from bankruptcy. Upon application of fresh start accounting, the lease obligation was recalculated using the incremental borrowing rate applicable to the Company after emergence from bankruptcy and commensurate to its new capital structure. The incremental borrowing rate used decreased from 12.44% as of March 31, 2019 to 6.54% as of June 30, 2019. As a result of this decrease, the Company's Operating lease liabilities and

corresponding Operating lease right-of-use assets increased by $541.2 million to reflect the higher balances resulting from the application of a lower incremental borrowing rate. The Operating lease right-of-use-assets were further adjusted to reflect the resetting of the Company's straight-line lease calculation. In addition, the Company increased the Operating lease right-of-use assets to recognize $13.1 million related to the favorable lease contracts.

(7)
Reflects the fair value adjustment to adjust deferred revenue and other liabilities as of May 1, 2019 to its estimated fair value. The fair value of the deferred revenue was determined using the market approach and the cost approach. The market approach values deferred revenue based on the amount an acquirer would be required to pay a third party to assume the remaining performance obligations. The cost approach values deferred revenue utilizing estimated costs that will be incurred to fulfill the obligation plus a normal profit margin for the level of effort or assumption of risk by the acquirer. Additionally, a deferred gain was recorded at the time of the certain historical sale-leaseback transaction. During the implementation of ASC 842, the operating portion was written off as of January 1, 2019. The financing lease deferred gain remained. As part of fresh start accounting, this balance of $0.9 million was written off.

(8) Reflects the fair value adjustment to adjust Long-term debt as of May 1, 2019. This adjustment is to state the Company's finance leases and accumulated amortizationother pre-petition debt at estimated fair values.

(9) Reflects the fair value adjustment to adjust Accrued expenses as of May 1, 2019. This adjustment primarily relates to adjusting vacation accruals to estimated fair values.

(10) Reflects a net increase to deferred tax liabilities for each major class of otherfresh start adjustments attributed primarily to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the effects of which are partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance. The Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets remaining after the Reorganization and Emergence will be realized based on taxable income from reversing deferred tax liabilities primarily attributable to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

(11) Reflects the adjustment as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively:May 1, 2019 to state the noncontrolling interest balance at estimated fair value.

In connection with the Separation, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the agreements described below.
Transition Services Agreement
On the Effective Date, the Company, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (“iHM Management Services”), iHeartCommunications and CCOH entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”), pursuant to which iHM Management Services has agreed to provide, or cause the Company, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations or any member of the iHeart Group to provide, CCOH with certain administrative and support services and other assistance which CCOH will utilize in the conduct of its business as such business was conducted prior to the Separation, for one year from the Effective Date (subject to certain rights of CCOH to extend up to one additional year, as described below). The transition services may include, among other things, (a) treasury, payroll and other financial related services, (b) certain executive officer services, (c) human resources and employee benefits, (d) legal and related services, (e) information systems, network and related services, (f) investment services and (g) procurement and sourcing support.

IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The charges for the transition services are generally consistent with the Corporate Services Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2005, by and between iHeartMedia Management Services and CCOH (the “Corporate Services Agreement”), which governed the provision of certain services by the iHeart Group to the Outdoor Group prior to the Separation. The allocation of cost is based on various measures depending on the service provided, which measures include relative revenue, employee headcount, number of users of a service or other factors. CCOH may request an extension of the term for all services or individual services for one-month periods for up to an additional 12 months, ended Septemberand the price for transition services provided during such extended term will be increased for any service other than those identified in the schedules to the Transition Services Agreement as an “IT Service” or any other service the use and enjoyment of which requires the use of another IT Service.
CCOH may terminate the Transition Services Agreement with respect to all or any individual service, in whole or in part, upon 30 2017days’ prior written notice, provided that any co-dependent services must be terminated concurrently.
New Tax Matters Agreement
On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a new tax matters agreement (the “New Tax Matters Agreement”) by and 2016 was $148.2among the Company, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations, CCH, CCOH and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., to allocate the responsibility of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Outdoor Group, on the other, for the payment of taxes arising prior and subsequent to, and in connection with, the Separation.
The New Tax Matters Agreement requires that the Company and iHeartCommunications indemnify CCOH and its subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against (i) any taxes other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes imposed on the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than CCOH and its subsidiaries) in connection with the Separation, (ii) any transfer taxes and indirect gains taxes arising in connection with the Separation, and (iii) fifty percent of the amount by which the amount of taxes (other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes) imposed on CCOH or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Separation that are paid to the applicable taxing authority on or before the third anniversary of the separation of CCOH exceeds $5 million, provided that, the obligations of the Company and $167.7 million, respectively.iHeartCommunications to indemnify CCOH and its subsidiaries with respect taxes (other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes) imposed on CCOH or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Separation will not exceed $15 million. In addition, if the Company or its subsidiaries use certain tax attributes of CCOH and its subsidiaries (including net operating losses, foreign tax credits and other credits) and such use results in a decrease in the tax liability of the Company or its subsidiaries, then the Company is required to reimburse CCOH for the use of such attributes based on the amount of tax benefit realized. The New Tax Matters Agreement provides that any reduction of the tax attributes of CCOH and its subsidiaries as a result of cancellation of indebtedness income realized in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases is not treated as a use of such attributes (and therefore does not require the Company or iHeartCommunications to reimburse CCOH for such reduction).
The New Tax Matters Agreement also requires that (i) CCOH indemnify the Company for any income taxes paid by the Company on behalf of CCOH and its subsidiaries or, with respect to any income tax return for which CCOH or any of its subsidiaries joins with the Company or any of subsidiaries in filing a consolidated, combined or unitary return, the amount of taxes that would have been incurred by CCOH and its subsidiaries if they had filed a separate return, and (ii) except as described in the preceding paragraph, CCOH indemnify the Company and its subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against any taxes other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes imposed on CCOH or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Separation.
Any tax liability of CCH attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the date of the completion of the Separation, other than any such tax liability resulting from CCH’s being a successor of CCOH in connection with the merger of CCOH with and into CCOH or arising from the operation of the business of CCOH and its subsidiaries after the merger of CCOH with and into CCH, will not be treated as a liability of CCOH and its subsidiaries for purposes of the New Tax Matters Agreement.

Goodwill
(1)
Broadcast Radio revenue is generated through the sale of advertising time on the Company’s domestic radio stations.
(2)
Digital revenue is generated through the sale of streaming and display advertisements on digital platforms, subscriptions to iHeartRadio streaming services, podcasting and the dissemination of other digital content.
(3)
Networks revenue is generated through the sale of advertising on the Company’s Premiere and Total Traffic & Weather network programs and through the syndication of network programming to other media companies.
(4)
Sponsorship and events revenue is generated through local events and major nationally-recognized tent pole events and include sponsorship and other advertising revenue, ticket sales, and licensing, as well as endorsement and appearance fees generated by on-air talent.
(5)
Audio and media services revenue is generated by services provided to broadcast industry participants through the Company’s Katz Media Group and Radio Computing Services (“RCS”) businesses. As a media representation firm, Katz Media Group generates revenue via commissions on media sold on behalf of the radio and television stations that it represents, while RCS generates revenue by providing broadcast and webcast software and technology and services to radio stations, television music channels, cable companies, satellite music networks and Internet stations worldwide.
(6)
Other revenue represents fees earned for miscellaneous services, including on-site promotions, activations, and local marketing agreements.
(7)
Revenue from leases is primarily generated by the lease of towers to other media companies, which are all categorized as operating leases.

Annual Impairment Test to Goodwill
31
The Company performs its annual impairment test on goodwill as of July 1 of each year.
Each of the U.S. radio markets and outdoor advertising markets are components of the Company. The U.S. radio markets are aggregated into a single reporting unit and the U.S. outdoor advertising markets are aggregated into a single reporting unit for purposes of the goodwill impairment test using the guidance in ASC 350-20-55. The Company also determined that each country within its Americas outdoor segment and International outdoor segment constitutes a separate reporting unit.
The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. The first step, used to screen for potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If applicable, the second step, used to measure the amount of the impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.
Each of the Company’s reporting units is valued using a discounted cash flow model which requires estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the reporting unit and discounting such cash flows to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Terminal values were also estimated and discounted to their present value. Assessing the recoverability of goodwill requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates based on its budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying these factors.
The Company recognized goodwill impairment of $1.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to one market in the Company's International outdoor segment. The Company recognized goodwill impairment of $7.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to one market in the Company's International outdoor segment.

The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $15.8 billion and $16.7 billion as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820-10-35, the market value of the Company’s debt is classified as either Level 1 or Level 2.
On January 31, 2017, iHeartCommunications repaid $25.0 million of the amount borrowed under its receivables-based credit facility. On July 31, 2017, iHeartCommunications borrowed an additional $60.0 million on its receivables-based credit facility, bringing the total amount outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 2017 to $365.0 million.

Of the $476.4 million principal amount of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 issued in the exchange offer, $241.4 million principal amount was issued to subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications that participated in the exchange offer.
On March 15, 2017, iHeartCommunications commenced exchange offers (the “notes exchange offers”) to exchange certain series of its outstanding debt securities (the “Existing Notes”) for new securities of the Company, iHeartCommunications and CC Outdoor Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and concurrent consent solicitations with respect to the terms of the Existing Notes. On March 15, 2017, the Company also commenced offers (the “term loan offers”) to amend its outstanding Term Loan D and Term Loan E under its senior secured credit facilities and/or to issue new securities of the Company, CC Outdoor Holdings, Inc., Broader Media, LLC and/or iHeartCommunications to the lenders depending on the scenario in which the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers close. The terms of the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers have been revised and are subject to substantial further revision, and the offers may never be consummated, on the terms currently proposed or otherwise. Both the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers were open as of November 8, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding surety bonds, commercial standby letters of credit and bank guarantees of $72.1 million, $144.5 million and $36.6 million, respectively. Bank guarantees and letters of credit of $17.3 million and $28.8 million, respectively, were backed by cash collateral. These surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees relate to various operational matters including insurance, bid, concession and performance bonds as well as other items.
NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.
International Outdoor Investigation
On April 21, 2015, inspections were conducted at the premises of Clear Channel in Denmark and Sweden as part of an investigation by Danish competition authorities.  Additionally, on the same day, Clear Channel UK received a communication from the UK competition authorities, also in connection with the investigation by Danish competition authorities. Clear Channel and its affiliates are cooperating with the national competition authorities.
Stockholder Litigation
On May 9, 2016, a stockholder of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. ("CCOH") filed a derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned GAMCO Asset Management Inc. v. iHeartMedia Inc. et al., C.A. No. 12312-VCS. The complaint names as defendants the Company, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications"), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (together, the "Sponsor Defendants"), the Company's private equity sponsors and majority owners, and the members of CCOH's board of directors. CCOH also is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that CCOH has been harmed by the intercompany agreements with iHeartCommunications, CCOH’s lack of autonomy over its own cash and the actions of the defendants in serving the interests of the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants to the detriment of CCOH and its minority stockholders. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties by causing CCOH to: (i) continue to loan cash to iHeartCommunications under the intercompany note at below-market rates; (ii) abandon its growth and acquisition strategies in favor of transactions that would provide cash to the Company and iHeartCommunications; (iii) issue new debt in the CCIBV note offering (the "CCIBV Note Offering") to provide cash to the Company and iHeartCommunications through a dividend; and (iv) effect the sales of certain outdoor markets in the U.S. (the "Outdoor Asset Sales") allegedly to provide cash to the Company and iHeartCommunications through a dividend. The complaint also alleges that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the directors' breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint further alleges that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants were unjustly enriched as a result of these transactions and that these transactions constituted a waste of corporate assets for which the defendants are liable to CCOH. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to CCOH and that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the CCOH board of directors' breaches of fiduciary duty, rescission of payments made by CCOH to iHeartCommunications and its affiliates pursuant to dividends declared in connection with the CCIBV Note Offering and Outdoor Asset Sales, and an order requiring the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants to disgorge all profits they have received as a result of the alleged fiduciary misconduct.
On July 20, 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's verified stockholder derivative complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On November 23, 2016, the Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss all claims brought by the plaintiff. On December 19, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the ruling. The oral hearing on the appeal

The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were (6.7)% and (13.2)%, respectively. The 2017 and 2016 effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets resulting from current period net operating losses in U.S. federal, state and certain foreign jurisdictions due to uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to realize those assets in future periods.

Deferred revenue from contracts with customers, which excludes other sources of deferred revenue that are not related to contracts with customers, is included within deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending upon when revenue is expected to be recognized. As described in Note 3, as part of the fresh start accounting adjustments on May 1, 2019, deferred revenue from contracts with customers was adjusted to its estimated fair value.
The Company’s contracts with customers generally have terms of one year or less; however, as of June 30, 2019, the Company expects to recognize $199.8 million of revenue in future periods for remaining performance obligations from current contracts with customers that have an original expected duration greater than one year, with substantially all of this amount to be recognized over the next five years. Commissions related to the Company’s media representation business have been excluded from this amount as they are contingent upon future sales.

NOTE 6 – LEASES
The Company enters into operating lease contracts for land, buildings, structures and other equipment. Arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine whether such arrangements contain a lease. Operating leases primarily include land and building lease contracts and leases of radio towers. Arrangements to lease building space consist primarily of the rental of office space, but may also include leases of other equipment, including automobiles and copiers. Operating leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet within Operating lease right-of-use assets and the related short-term and long-term liabilities are included within Current and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively.
The Company's finance leases are included within Property, plant and equipment with the related liabilities included within Long-term debt or within Liabilities subject to compromise.
ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Certain of the Company's operating lease agreements include rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflationary changes. Payments due to changes in inflationary adjustments are included within variable rent expense, which is accounted for separately from periodic straight-line lease expense. Amounts related to insurance and property taxes in lease arrangements when billed on a pass-through basis are allocated to the lease and non-lease components of the lease based on their relative standalone selling prices.
Certain of the Company's leases provide options to extend the terms of the agreements. Generally, renewal periods are excluded from minimum lease payments when calculating the lease liabilities as, for most leases, the Company does not consider exercise of such options to be reasonably certain. As a result, unless a renewal option is considered reasonably assured, the optional terms and related payments are not included within the lease liability. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The implicit rate within the Company's lease agreements is generally not determinable. As such, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The IBR, as defined in ASC 842, is "the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment." In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted the IBR used to value the Company's ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at the Effective Date (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting). In addition, upon adoption of ASC 852 in the first quarter of 2019, the Company did not elect the practical expedient to combine non-lease components with the associated lease components. Upon application of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date, the Company elected to use the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for all classes of the Company's assets.

In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted Property, plant and equipment to their respective fair values at the Effective Date (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting).
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses in its Audio segment. In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted its FCC licenses to their respective estimated fair values as of the Effective Date of $2,281.7 million (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting).
The Company performs its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including FCC licenses, as of July 1 of each year. In addition, the Company tests for impairment of intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.  During the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, the Predecessor Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $91.4 million in relation to indefinite-lived FCC licenses as a result of an increase in the weighted average cost of capital used in performing the annual impairment test.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements.  The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets primarily include customer and advertiser relationships, talent and representation contracts, trademarks and tradenames and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. Permanent easements are indefinite-lived intangible assets which include certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company.  The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets.  These assets are recorded at amortized cost. In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted Other intangible assets to their respective fair values at the Effective Date (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting).

(UNAUDITED)

Size and Availability

The ABL Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $450.0 million, with amounts available from time to time (including in respect of letters of credit) equal to the lesser of (A) the borrowing base, which equals the sum of (i) 90.0% of the eligible accounts receivable of iHeartCommunications and the subsidiary guarantors and (ii) 100% of qualified cash, each subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria, and (B) the aggregate revolving credit commitments. Subject to certain conditions, iHeartCommunications may at any time request one or more increases in the amount of revolving credit commitments, in an amount up to the sum of (x) $150.0 million and (y) the amount by which the borrowing base exceeds the aggregate revolving credit commitments.
Interest Rate and Fees

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate plus, at iHeartCommunications’ option, either (1) a eurocurrency rate or (2) a base rate. The applicable margin for borrowings under the ABL Facility range from 1.25% to 1.75% for eurocurrency borrowings and from 0.25% to 0.75% for base-rate borrowings, in each case, depending on average excess availability under the ABL Facility based on the most recently delivered borrowing base certificate.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the ABL Facility, iHeartCommunications is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the ABL Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum dependent upon average unused commitments during the prior quarter. iHeartCommunications may also pay customary letter of credit fees.

Maturity

Borrowings under the ABL Facility will mature, and lending commitments thereunder will terminate on June 14, 2023.

Prepayments

If at any time, the sum of the outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility exceeds the lesser of (i) the borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate commitments under the facility (such lesser amount, the “line cap”), iHeartCommunications is required to repay outstanding loans and cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. iHeartCommunications may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the ABL Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurocurrency rate loans. Any voluntary prepayments made by iHeartCommunications will not reduce iHeartCommunications’ commitments under the ABL Facility.

Guarantees and Security

The ABL Facility is guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, the guarantors of iHeartCommunications’ Term Loan Facility. All obligations under the ABL Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by a perfected security interest in the accounts receivable and related assets of iHeartCommunications’ and the guarantors’ accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof that is senior to the security interest of iHeartCommunications’ Term Loan Facility in such accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions.

Certain Covenants and Events of Default

If borrowing availability is less than the greater of (a) $40.0 million and (b) 10% of the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility, in each case, for two consecutive business days (a “Trigger Event”), iHeartCommunications will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on or after the occurrence of the Trigger Event, and must continue to comply with this minimum fixed charge coverage ratio until borrowing availability exceeds the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 10% of the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility, in each case, for 20 consecutive calendar days, at which time the Trigger Event shall no longer be deemed to be occurring.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.
Chapter 11 Cases
iHeartCommunications' filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated its obligations under its debt agreements. Due to the Chapter 11 Cases, however, the creditors' ability to exercise remedies under iHeartCommunications' debt agreements were stayed as of March 14, 2018, the Petition Date, and continue to be stayed. On March 21, 2018, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB ("WSFS"), solely in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027, and not in its individual capacity, filed an adversary proceeding against the Company in the Chapter 11 Cases. In the complaint, WSFS alleged, among other things, that the "springing lien" provisions of the priority guarantee notes indentures and the priority guarantee notes security agreements amounted to "hidden encumbrances" on the Company's property, to which the holders of the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027 were entitled to "equal and ratable" treatment. On March 26, 2018, Delaware Trust Co. ("Delaware Trust"), in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 14% Senior Notes due 2021, filed a motion to intervene as a plaintiff in the adversary proceeding filed by WSFS. In the complaint, Delaware Trust alleged, among other things, that the indenture governing the 14% Senior Notes due 2021 also has its own "negative pledge" covenant, and, therefore, to the extent the relief sought by WSFS in its adversary proceeding is warranted, the holders of the 14% Senior Notes due 2021 are also entitled to the same "equal and ratable" liens on the same property. On April 6, 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding and a hearing on such motion was held on May 7, 2018. We answered the complaint and completed discovery.  The trial was held on October 24, 2018. On January 15, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in the Company's favor denying all relief sought by WSFS and all other parties. Pursuant to a settlement (the “Legacy Plan Settlement”) with WSFS and certain consenting Legacy Noteholders of all issues related to confirmation of the Company's plan of reorganization, on May 1, 2019 upon the Company's confirmed plan of reorganization becoming effective, this adversary proceeding was deemed withdrawn and/or dismissed, with respect to all parties thereto, with prejudice and in its entirety.
On October 9, 2018, WSFS, solely in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027, and not in its individual capacity, filed an adversary proceeding against Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and certain shareholders of iHeartMedia. The named shareholder defendants are Bain Capital LP; Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P.; Abrams Capital L.P.; and Highfields Capital Management L.P. In the complaint, WSFS alleged, among other things, that the shareholder defendants engaged in a “pattern of inequitable and bad faith conduct, including the abuse of their insider positions to benefit themselves at the expense of third-party creditors including particularly the Legacy Noteholders.” The complaint asks

the court to grant relief in the form of equitable subordination of the shareholder defendants’ term loan, priority guarantee notes and 2021 notes claims to any and all claims of the legacy noteholders. In addition, the complaint seeks to have any votes to accept the Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization by Abrams and Highfields on account of their 2021 notes claims, and any votes to accept the Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization by defendant CCH on account of its junior notes claims, to be designated and disqualified. The Court held a pre-trial conference and oral argument on October 18, 2018. Pursuant to the Legacy Plan Settlement, on May 1, 2019 upon the Company's confirmed Plan of Reorganization becoming effective, this adversary proceeding was deemed withdrawn and/or dismissed, with respect to all parties thereto, with prejudice and in its entirety.
Stockholder Litigation
On May 9, 2016, a stockholder of CCOH filed a derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned GAMCO Asset Management Inc. v. iHeartMedia, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 12312-VCS. The complaint named as defendants the Company, iHeartCommunications, Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., the Company's pre-bankruptcy private equity sponsors and pre-bankruptcy majority owners (together, the "Former Sponsor Defendants"), and the members of CCOH's board of directors. CCOH also was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleged that CCOH had been harmed by the intercompany agreements with iHeartCommunications, CCOH’s lack of autonomy over its own cash and the actions of the defendants in serving the interests of the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Former Sponsor Defendants to the detriment of CCOH and its minority stockholders. The plaintiff sought, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to CCOH and that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Former Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the CCOH board of directors' breaches of fiduciary duty, rescission of payments made by CCOH to iHeartCommunications and its affiliates pursuant to dividends declared in connection with the CCIBV Note Offering and Outdoor Asset Sales, and an order requiring the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Former Sponsor Defendants to disgorge all profits they have received as a result of the alleged fiduciary misconduct.
On July 20, 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's verified stockholder derivative complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On November 23, 2016, the Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss all claims brought by the plaintiff. On December 19, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the ruling. The oral hearing on the appeal was held on October 11, 2017. On October 12, 2017, the Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the lower court's ruling, dismissing the case.
On December 29, 2017, another stockholder of CCOH filed a derivative lawsuit (the “Norfolk Lawsuit”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Norfolk County Retirement System, v. iHeartMedia, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2017-0930-JRS. The complaint names as defendants the Company, iHeartCommunications, the Former Sponsor Defendants, and the members of CCOH's board of directors.  CCOH is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that CCOH has been harmed by the CCOH Board’s November 2017 decision to extend the maturity date of the intercompany revolving note (the “Third Amendment”) at what the complaint describes as far-below-market interest rates. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to CCOH, a modification of the Third Amendment to bear a commercially reasonable rate of interest, and an order requiring disgorgement of all profits, benefits and other compensation obtained by defendants as a result of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.
On March 7, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's verified derivative complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On March 16, 2018, the Company filed a Notice of Suggestion of Pendency of Bankruptcy and Automatic Stay of Proceedings. On May 4, 2018, plaintiff filed its response to the motion to dismiss. On June 26, 2018, the defendants filed a reply brief in further support of their motion to dismiss. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on September 20, 2018.
On August 27, 2018, the same stockholder of CCOH that had filed a derivative lawsuit against the Company and others in 2016 (GAMCO Asset Management Inc.) filed a putative class action lawsuit (the “GAMCO II Lawsuit”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned GAMCO Asset Management, Inc. v. Hendrix, et al., C.A. No. 2018-0633-JRS. The complaint names as defendants the Former Sponsor Defendants and the members of CCOH’s board of directors. The complaint alleges that minority shareholders in CCOH during the period November 8, 2017 to March 14, 2018 were harmed by decisions of the CCOH Board and the intercompany note committee of the Board relating to the Intercompany Note. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, a ruling that the CCOH Board, the intercompany note committee, and the Sponsor Defendants breached their fiduciary duties and that the Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the Board’s breach of fiduciary duty; and an award of damages, together with pre- and post-judgment interests, to the putative class of minority shareholders.

On December 16, 2018, the Debtors, CCOH, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., and Norfolk County Retirement System entered into a settlement (the “CCOH Separation Settlement”) of all claims, objections, and other causes of action that have been or could be asserted by or on behalf of CCOH, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., and/or Norfolk County Retirement System by and among the Debtors, CCOH, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., certain individual defendants in the GAMCO Asset Management, Inc. action and/or the Norfolk County Retirement System action, and the private equity sponsor defendants in such actions. The CCOH Separation Settlement provides for the consensual separation of the Debtors and CCOH, including approximately $149.0 million of recovery to CCOH on account of its claim against iHeartCommunications in the Chapter 11 cases, a $200 million unsecured revolving line of credit from certain of the Debtors to CCOH for a period of up to three years, the transfer of certain of the Debtors’ intellectual property to CCOH, the waiver by the Debtors of the setoff for the value of the transferred intellectual property, mutual releases, the termination of the cash sweep under the existing Corporate Services Agreement, the termination of any agreements or licenses requiring royalty payments from CCOH to the Debtors for trademarks or other intellectual property, the waiver of any post-petition amounts owed by CCOH relating to such trademarks or other intellectual property, and the execution of a new transition services agreement and other separation documents. The CCOH Separation Settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on January 22, 2019. On May 1, 2019, the Debtors’ Plan of Reorganization went effective, and the Norfolk Lawsuit and GAMCO II Lawsuit were each subsequently dismissed with prejudice.

The effective tax rate for the Successor Company for the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 was 29.2%. The effective tax rate for continuing operations of the Predecessor Company for Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and $161.7 millionthe Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) was 1.1% and $105.70.4%, respectively. The income tax expense for the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) primarily consists of the income tax impacts from reorganization and fresh start adjustments, including adjustments to our valuation allowance. The Company recorded income tax benefits of $102.9 million for reorganization adjustments in the ninePredecessor period, primarily consisting of: (1)tax expense for the reduction in federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards from the cancellation of debt income ("CODI") realized upon emergence; (2) tax benefit for the reduction in deferred tax liabilities attributed primarily to long-term debt that was discharged upon emergence; (3) tax benefit for the effective settlement

IHEARTMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(UNAUDITED)

of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that were discharged upon emergence; and (4) tax benefit for the reduction in valuation allowance resulting from the adjustments described above. The Company recorded income tax expense of $185.4 million for fresh start adjustments in the Predecessor period, consisting of $529.1 million tax expense for the increase in deferred tax liabilities resulting from fresh start accounting adjustments, which was partially offset by $343.7 million tax benefit for the reduction in the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 (Predecessor) was 130.3% and 2016,5.7%, respectively. TradeThe 2018 effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets resulting from current period interest expense limitation carryforward in U.S. federal and barter expensescertain state jurisdictions due to uncertainty regarding our ability to realize those assets in future periods.
As a result of the Plan of Reorganization, the Company expects the majority of its federal NOL carryforwards and certain state NOL carryforwards to be reduced or eliminated as a result of the CODI realized from the bankruptcy emergence. Pursuant to the attribute reduction and ordering rules set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the reduction in the Company’s tax attributes for excludible CODI does not occur until the last day of the Company’s tax year, December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the tax adjustments recorded in the Predecessor period represent our best estimate using all available information at June 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company recognized a capital loss for tax purposes as a result of the series of transactions to effect the Plan of Reorganization. This capital loss may be carried forward to offset capital gains recognized by the Company in the next five years, subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Code. The deferred tax asset associated with the capital loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance due to significant uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize the carryforward prior to its expiration. The final tax impacts of the bankruptcy emergence, as well as the Plan of Reorganization’s overall effect on the Company’s tax attributes and tax basis in assets will be refined based on the Company’s final December 31, 2019 financial position as required under the Code. The final tax impacts on the companies tax attributes could change significantly from the current estimates.

Special Warrants
Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization may be exercised by its holder to purchase one share of Successor Class A common stock or Successor Class B common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, unless the Company in its sole discretion believes such exercise would, alone or in combination with any other existing or proposed ownership of common stock, result in, subject to certain exceptions, (a) such exercising holder owning more than 4.99 percent of the Successor Company's outstanding Class A common stock, (b) more than 22.5 percent of the Successor Company's capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, (c) the Company exceeding any foreign ownership threshold set by the FCC pursuant to a declaratory ruling or specific approval requirement or (d) the Company violating any provision of the Communications Act or restrictions on ownership or transfer imposed by the Company's certificate of incorporation or the decisions, rules and policies of the FCC. Any holder exercising Special Warrants must complete and timely deliver to the warrant agent the required exercise forms and certifications required under the special warrant agreement.
To the extent there are any dividends declared or distributions made with respect to the Successor Class A common stock or Successor Class B common stock, those dividends or distributions will also be made to holders of Special Warrants concurrently and on a pro rata basis based on their ownership of common stock underlying their Special Warrants on an as-exercised basis; provided, that no such distribution will be made to holders of Special Warrants if (x) the Communications Act or an FCC rule prohibits such distribution to holders of Special Warrants or (y) our FCC counsel opines that such distribution is reasonably likely to cause (i) the Company to violate the Communications Act or any applicable FCC rule or (ii) any such holder not to be deemed to hold a noncognizable (under FCC rules governing foreign ownership) future equity interest in the Company; provided further, that, if any distribution of common stock or any other securities to a holder of Special Warrants is not permitted pursuant to clauses (x) or (y), the Company will cause economically equivalent warrants to be distributed to such holder in lieu thereof, to the extent that such distribution of warrants would not violate the Communications Act or any applicable FCC rules.
To the extent within the Company's control, any tender or exchange offer subject to Sections 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act for the Successor Class A common stock, Successor Class B common stock or Special Warrants will be made concurrently and on a pro rata basis (in the case of holders of Special Warrants, based upon their ownership of common stock underlying their Special Warrants on an as-exercised basis) to all holders of Successor Class A common stock, Successor Class B common stock and Special Warrants. Distributions to holders of Special Warrants and payments to holders of Special Warrants pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for Special Warrants subject to Sections 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act will be made in compliance with FCC ownership conditions.
The number of shares of the Successor Company's common stock to be received upon exercise of each special warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time. Such number will increase or decrease proportionally upon any increase or decrease in the number of shares of the Successor Company's common stock outstanding resulting from any subdivisions, splits, combination or reverse splits (except in connection with a change of control). The Company is not required to issue fractional shares in connection with the exercise of Special Warrants, and may either pay an amount in cash in lieu of such fractional shares or round the number of shares received to the nearest whole number. The exercise price is not subject to any adjustment.
Upon the occurrence of any reclassification or recapitalization whereby holders of the Successor Company's common stock are entitled to receive proceeds in cash, stock, securities or other assets or property with respect to or in exchange for common stock, holders who exercise Special Warrants are entitled to receive such proceeds commensurate with the number of shares of common stock they would have received if they had exercised their Special Warrants immediately prior to such reclassification or recapitalization. Upon a change of control in which the only consideration payable to holders of common stock is cash, each special warrant will be deemed to be exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control and the holder will receive solely the cash consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such change of control. Upon a change of control in which the consideration payable to holders of common stock is other than only cash, at the Company's option, each special warrant will be either (A) assumed by the party surviving such change of control and will continue to be exercisable for the kind and amount of consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such change of control had the special warrant been exercised immediately prior, or (B) if not assumed by the party surviving such change of control, deemed to be exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control and the holder will receive the consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such Change of Control, less the exercise price, as though the special warrant had been exercised immediately prior.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Format of Presentation
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Our discussion is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis.
Our reportable segments are iHeartMedia (“iHM”), Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas outdoor” or “Americas outdoor advertising”) and International outdoor advertising (“International outdoor” or “International outdoor advertising”). Our iHM segmentprimary business provides media and entertainment services via live broadcast and digital delivery, including our networks businesses, through our Audio segment. We also operate businesses that provide audio and also includesmedia services, including our national syndication business. Our Americas outdoor and International outdoor segments provide outdoor advertising services in their respective geographic regions using various digital and traditional display types. Included in the “Other” category is ourfull-service media representation business, Katz Media Group (“Katz Media”) and our provider of scheduling and broadcast software and services, Radio Computing Servicing ("RCS"). Following the Separation, we ceased to operate the outdoor business, which is ancillaryprior to the Separation was presented as our other businesses.
We manageAmericas outdoor segment and our operating segments by focusing primarily on their operating income, while Corporate expenses, Other operating income (expense), net, Interest expense, Gain on marketable securities, Equity in earnings (loss)International outdoor segment. The historical results of nonconsolidated affiliates, Loss on extinguishment of debt, Other income, net and Income tax expense are managed on a total company basis and are, therefore, included only in our discussion of consolidated results.
Certain prior period amountsthe outdoor business have been reclassified as results from discontinued operations.
On May 1, 2019, we consummated the Separation and Reorganization, resulting in a substantial reduction in our long-term indebtedness and corresponding cash interest expenses, and significantly extending the maturities of our outstanding indebtedness, as more fully described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Over the past ten years, we have transitioned our Audio business from a single platform radio broadcast operator to conforma company with multiple platforms including podcasting, networks and live events. We have also invested in numerous technologies and businesses to increase the 2017 presentation.competitiveness of our inventory with our advertisers and our audience. We believe that our ability to generate free cash flow from these business initiatives coupled with the significant reduction in interest payments due to our reduced level of indebtedness and the elimination of the majority of our near-term debt maturities will enable us to generate sufficient cash flows to operate our businesses and de-lever our balance sheet over time.

The programming formats of our radio stations are designed to reach audiences with targeted demographic characteristics. We are working closely with our advertising and marketing partners to develop tools and leverage data to enable advertisers to effectively reach their desired audiences. We continue to expand the choices for listeners and we deliver our content and sell advertising across multiple distribution channels including digitally via our iHeartRadio mobile application, our station websites and other digital platforms which reach national, regional and local audiences. We also generate revenues from network syndication,our networks, including Premiere and Total Traffic & Weather, as well as through sponsorships and our nationally recognized live events our station websites and other miscellaneous transactions.
Management typically monitorsrevenue streams. We also generate revenue by providing audio and media services to radio and TV broadcast industry participants through our outdoor advertising business by reviewing the average rates, average revenue per display, occupancyKatz Media and inventory levels of each of our display types by market.

We are currently installing these technologies in certain markets, both domestically and internationally.RCS businesses.
Our advertising revenue for all of our segments is highly correlated to changes in gross domestic product (“GDP”) as advertising spending has historically trended in line with GDP, both domesticallyGDP.  Our broadcast national and internationally.  Internationally, our results are impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rateslocal revenue, as well as our Katz Media revenue, are generally impacted by political cycles.

Results of Operations
Our financial results for the periods from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are referred to as those of the “Predecessor” period. Our financial results for the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 are referred to as those of the “Successor” period. Our results of operations


as reported in foreign exchange rates, consolidatedour Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Although GAAP requires that we report on our results for the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 separately, management views the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods.
The Company cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 against any of the previous periods reported in its Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and does not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding the Company’s overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics such as revenue, decreased $39.4 million duringoperating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and discussion below also present the combined results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The combined results for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared2019, which we refer to herein as the same period of 2016, primarily due toresults for the sales of certain outdoor businesses, which generated $2.6 million and $41.9 million in revenue in the three"three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and 2016, respectively.
On August 14, 2017, CCIBV,the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. The combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which we refer to herein as the results for the "six months ended June 30, 2019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our indirect subsidiary, issued at a $6.0 million premium $150.0 million principal amountemergence from bankruptcy and may not be indicative of 8.75% Senior Notes due 2020.
During the third quarter of 2017, Americas outdoor sold its ownership interest in a joint venture in Canada and recognized a net loss on sale of $12.1 million.
In October 2017, iHeartCommunications exchanged $45.0 million of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were held by a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications for $45.0 million of 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 that were held by unaffiliated third parties.future results.



Revenues and expenses “excludingThe table below presents the impact of foreign exchange movements” in this Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented because management believes that viewing certain financial results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates facilitates period to period comparisons of business performance and provides useful information to investors.  Revenues and expenses “excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements” are calculated by converting the current period’s revenues and expenses in local currency to U.S. dollars using average foreign exchange rates for the prior period.

The income tax expense for the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) primarily consists of the income tax impacts from reorganization and fresh start adjustments, including adjustments to our valuation allowance. The Company recorded income tax benefits of $102.9 million for reorganization adjustments in the samePredecessor period, primarily consisting of: (1)tax expense for the reduction in federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards from the cancellation of 2016debt income ("CODI") realized upon emergence; (2) tax benefit for the reduction in deferred tax liabilities attributed primarily to long-term debt that was discharged upon emergence; (3) tax benefit for the effective settlement

of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that were discharged upon emergence; and (4) tax benefit for the reduction in valuation allowance resulting from lower employee benefits and variable compensation expenses. For the three monthadjustments described above. The Company recorded income tax expense of $185.4 million for fresh start adjustments in the Predecessor period, ended September 30, 2017, we incurred professional fees directly related toconsisting of $529.1 million tax expense for the notes exchange offers and term loan offers and, accordingly, such fees are reflectedincrease in Other Income (Expense), net as further discussed below.
Corporate expenses decreased $18.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. Excluding the $1.9 million impactdeferred tax liabilities resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates, corporate expenses decreased $17.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, professional fees incurred in connection with our capital structure were reflected as part of corporate expenses. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we incurred professional fees directly related to the notes exchange offers and term loan offers and, accordingly, such fees are reflected in Other Income (Expense), net as further discussed below. Employee benefit expense was also lower. The reduction in Corporate expensesfresh start accounting adjustments, which was partially offset by higher spending on strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives.
Strategic Revenue and Efficiency Initiatives
Included$343.7 million tax benefit for the reduction in the amountsvaluation allowance on our deferred tax assets.
The effective tax rate for direct operating expenses, SG&Athe three and corporate expenses discussed above are expenses incurredsix months ended June 30, 2018 (Predecessor) was 130.3% and 5.7%, respectively. The 2018 effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets resulting from current period interest expense limitation carryforward in U.S. federal and certain state jurisdictions due to uncertainty regarding our ability to realize those assets in future periods.
As a result of the Plan of Reorganization, the Company expects the majority of its federal NOL carryforwards and certain state NOL carryforwards to be reduced or eliminated as a result of the CODI realized from the bankruptcy emergence. Pursuant to the attribute reduction and ordering rules set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the reduction in the Company’s tax attributes for excludible CODI does not occur until the last day of the Company’s tax year, December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the tax adjustments recorded in the Predecessor period represent our best estimate using all available information at June 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company recognized a capital loss for tax purposes as a result of the series of transactions to effect the Plan of Reorganization. This capital loss may be carried forward to offset capital gains recognized by the Company in the next five years, subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Code. The deferred tax asset associated with the capital loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance due to significant uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize the carryforward prior to its expiration. The final tax impacts of the bankruptcy emergence, as well as the Plan of Reorganization’s overall effect on the Company’s tax attributes and tax basis in assets will be refined based on the Company’s final December 31, 2019 financial position as required under the Code. The final tax impacts on the companies tax attributes could change significantly from the current estimates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Format of Presentation
Management’s discussion and analysis of our Australia businessfinancial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in 2016.
Depreciationconjunction with the consolidated financial statements and amortization decreased $32.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated or fully amortized and the disposal of assets related to the sale of our outdoor non-strategic U.S. markets and Australia and Turkey businesses in 2016.
Impairment Charges
The Company performs its annual impairment test on July 1 of each year. In addition, we test for impairment of property, plant and equipment whenever events and circumstances indicate that depreciable assets might be impaired. As a result of these impairment tests, we recorded impairment charges of $7.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, related to one of our iHM markets and one of our International outdoor businesses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized impairment charges of $8.0 million, related primarily to goodwill in one of our International outdoor businesses. Please see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements locatedfootnotes contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for10-Q.  Our discussion is presented on both a further descriptionconsolidated and segment basis.
Our primary business provides media and entertainment services via broadcast and digital delivery, including our networks businesses, through our Audio segment. We also operate businesses that provide audio and media services, including our full-service media representation business, Katz Media Group (“Katz Media”) and our provider of scheduling and broadcast software and services, Radio Computing Servicing ("RCS"). Following the Separation, we ceased to operate the outdoor business, which prior to the Separation was presented as our Americas outdoor segment and our International outdoor segment. The historical results of the impairment charges.outdoor business have been reclassified as results from discontinued operations.
Other On May 1, 2019, we consummated the Separation and Reorganization, resulting in a substantial reduction in our long-term indebtedness and corresponding cash interest expenses, and significantly extending the maturities of our outstanding indebtedness, as more fully described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Over the past ten years, we have transitioned our Audio business from a single platform radio broadcast operator to a company with multiple platforms including podcasting, networks and live events. We have also invested in numerous technologies and businesses to increase the competitiveness of our inventory with our advertisers and our audience. We believe that our ability to generate free cash flow from these business initiatives coupled with the significant reduction in interest payments due to our reduced level of indebtedness and the elimination of the majority of our near-term debt maturities will enable us to generate sufficient cash flows to operate our businesses and de-lever our balance sheet over time.
Description of our Business
Our Audio strategy centers on delivering entertaining and informative content where our listeners want to find us across multiple platforms, including broadcast, mobile and digital, as well as events. Our primary source of revenue is derived from selling broadcast local and national advertising time on our radio stations, with contracts typically less than one year in duration. The programming formats of our radio stations are designed to reach audiences with targeted demographic characteristics. We are working closely with our advertising and marketing partners to develop tools and leverage data to enable advertisers to effectively reach their desired audiences. We continue to expand the choices for listeners and we deliver our content and sell advertising across multiple distribution channels including digitally via our iHeartRadio mobile application, our station websites and other digital platforms which reach national, regional and local audiences. We also generate revenues from our networks, including Premiere and Total Traffic & Weather, as well as through sponsorships and our nationally recognized live events and other revenue streams. We also generate revenue by providing audio and media services to radio and TV broadcast industry participants through our Katz Media and RCS businesses.
Our advertising revenue is highly correlated to changes in gross domestic product (“GDP”) as advertising spending has historically trended in line with GDP.  Our broadcast national and local revenue, as well as our Katz Media revenue, are generally impacted by political cycles.
Emergence from Bankruptcy
On March 14, 2018, iHeartMedia, Inc. (the “Company,” "iHeartMedia," "we" or "us"), iHeartCommunications, Inc. (“iHeartCommunications”) and certain of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On April 28, 2018, the Debtors filed a plan of reorganization and a related disclosure statement (as amended, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court, which was subsequently amended by filing the second, third, fourth and fifth amended Plan of Reorganization and amended versions of the Disclosure Statement. On January 22, 2019, the Modified Fifth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of iHeartMedia, Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates (as further modified, the “Plan of Reorganization”) was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
On May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied and the Company emerged from Chapter 11 through (a) a series of transactions (the “Separation”) through which Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”), its parent Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with CCOH and CCH, the “Outdoor Group”) were separated from, and ceased to be controlled by, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “iHeart Group”), and (b) a series of transactions (the “Reorganization”) through which iHeartCommunications’ debt was reduced from approximately $16 billion to approximately $5.8 billion and a global compromise and settlement among holders of claims


(“Claimholders”) in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases was effected. The compromise and settlement involved, among others, (i) the restructuring of iHeartCommunications’ indebtedness by (A) replacing its “debtor-in-possession” credit facility with a $450 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) and (B) issuing to certain Claimholders, on account of their claims, approximately $3.5 billion aggregate principal amount of new senior secured term loans (the “Term Loan Facility”), approximately $1.45 billion aggregate principal amount of new 8.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) and approximately $800 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), (ii) the Company’s issuance of new Class A common stock, new Class B common stock and special warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock and Class B common stock (“Special Warrants”) to Claimholders, subject to ownership restrictions imposed by the Federal Communications’ Commission (“FCC”), (iii) the settlement of certain intercompany transactions, and (iv) the sale of the preferred stock (the “iHeart Operations Preferred Stock”) of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary iHeart Operations, Inc. (“iHeart Operations”) in connection with the Separation.
All of the existing equity of the Company was canceled on the Effective Sate pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. 
Beginning on the Effective Date, the Company applied fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after May 1, 2019 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or prior to that date. Refer to Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Executive Summary
The key developments that impacted our business during the quarter are summarized below:
Our Plan of Reorganization became effective May 1, 2019 resulting in the Separation of the Outdoor business and emerging from the Chapter 11 Cases with a significantly de-leveraged capital structure.
As a result of our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, we reduced our long-term debt from approximately $16 billion to approximately $5.8 billion and reduced our leverage from approximately 13x to approximately 2.9x.
Revenue of $913.3 million increased $21.6 million or 2.4% during the Combined Predecessor and Successor three-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.
Operating Income (Expense), Netincome of $181.6 million was up from $181.2 million in the prior year’s quarter.
OtherAdjusted EBITDA of $262.9 million, up 3.2% year-over-year.

As of June 30, 2019, we had 56,873,782 shares of Class A Common Stock, 6,947,567 shares of Class B Common Stock and 81,453,648 warrants convertible into Class A or Class B Common Stock outstanding.

In addition, on August 7, 2019, iHeartCommunications completed the sale of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "New Senior Secured Notes") in a private placement. We used the net proceeds from the New Senior Secured Notes, together with cash on hand, to prepay at par $740.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.

Results of Operations
Our financial results for the periods from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are referred to as those of the “Predecessor” period. Our financial results for the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 are referred to as those of the “Successor” period. Our results of operations


as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Although GAAP requires that we report on our results for the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 separately, management views the Company’s operating expense, net was $13.2 millionresults for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods.
The Company cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 against any of the previous periods reported in its Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and does not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding the Company’s overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics such as revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and discussion below also present the combined results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The combined results for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, which primarily relatedwe refer to herein as the $12.1 million loss,results for the "three months ended June 30, 2019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. The combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which includes $6.3 millionwe refer to herein as the results for the "six months ended June 30, 2019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in cumulative translation adjustments, recognized onaccordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the saleactual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from bankruptcy and may not be indicative of future results.

Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization may be exercised by its holder to purchase one share of Successor Class A common stock or Successor Class B common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, unless the Company in its sole discretion believes such exercise would, alone or in combination with any other existing or proposed ownership of common stock, result in, subject to certain exceptions, (a) such exercising holder owning more than 4.99 percent of the Successor Company's outstanding Class A common stock, (b) more than 22.5 percent of the Successor Company's capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, (c) the Company exceeding any foreign ownership threshold set by the FCC pursuant to a declaratory ruling or specific approval requirement or (d) the Company violating any provision of the Communications Act or restrictions on ownership or transfer imposed by the Company's certificate of incorporation or the decisions, rules and policies of the FCC. Any holder exercising Special Warrants must complete and timely deliver to the warrant agent the required exercise forms and certifications required under the special warrant agreement.
To the extent there are any dividends declared or distributions made with respect to the Successor Class A common stock or Successor Class B common stock, those dividends or distributions will also be made to holders of Special Warrants concurrently and on a pro rata basis based on their ownership of common stock underlying their Special Warrants on an as-exercised basis; provided, that no such distribution will be made to holders of Special Warrants if (x) the Communications Act or an FCC rule prohibits such distribution to holders of Special Warrants or (y) our FCC counsel opines that such distribution is reasonably likely to cause (i) the Company to violate the Communications Act or any applicable FCC rule or (ii) any such holder not to be deemed to hold a noncognizable (under FCC rules governing foreign ownership) future equity interest in the Company; provided further, that, if any distribution of common stock or any other securities to a holder of Special Warrants is not permitted pursuant to clauses (x) or (y), the Company will cause economically equivalent warrants to be distributed to such holder in lieu thereof, to the extent that such distribution of warrants would not violate the Communications Act or any applicable FCC rules.
To the extent within the Company's control, any tender or exchange offer subject to Sections 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act for the Successor Class A common stock, Successor Class B common stock or Special Warrants will be made concurrently and on a pro rata basis (in the case of holders of Special Warrants, based upon their ownership of common stock underlying their Special Warrants on an as-exercised basis) to all holders of Successor Class A common stock, Successor Class B common stock and Special Warrants. Distributions to holders of Special Warrants and payments to holders of Special Warrants pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for Special Warrants subject to Sections 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act will be made in compliance with FCC ownership conditions.
The number of shares of the Successor Company's common stock to be received upon exercise of each special warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time. Such number will increase or decrease proportionally upon any increase or decrease in the number of shares of the Successor Company's common stock outstanding resulting from any subdivisions, splits, combination or reverse splits (except in connection with a change of control). The Company is not required to issue fractional shares in connection with the exercise of Special Warrants, and may either pay an amount in cash in lieu of such fractional shares or round the number of shares received to the nearest whole number. The exercise price is not subject to any adjustment.
Upon the occurrence of any reclassification or recapitalization whereby holders of the Successor Company's common stock are entitled to receive proceeds in cash, stock, securities or other assets or property with respect to or in exchange for common stock, holders who exercise Special Warrants are entitled to receive such proceeds commensurate with the number of shares of common stock they would have received if they had exercised their Special Warrants immediately prior to such reclassification or recapitalization. Upon a change of control in which the only consideration payable to holders of common stock is cash, each special warrant will be deemed to be exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control and the holder will receive solely the cash consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such change of control. Upon a change of control in which the consideration payable to holders of common stock is other than only cash, at the Company's option, each special warrant will be either (A) assumed by the party surviving such change of control and will continue to be exercisable for the kind and amount of consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such change of control had the special warrant been exercised immediately prior, or (B) if not assumed by the party surviving such change of control, deemed to be exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control and the holder will receive the consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such Change of Control, less the exercise price, as though the special warrant had been exercised immediately prior.

NOTE 14– CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
iHeartCommunications Line of Credit

On the Effective Date, iHeartCommunications entered into a revolving loan agreement with CCOL and Clear Channel International, Ltd., both subsidiaries of CCOH, governing a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings of up to $200 million. The iHeartCommunications line of credit is unsecured. On July 30, 2019, in connection with the consummation of an underwritten public offering of common stock of CCOH, CCOL terminated the iHeartCommunications line of credit. As of June 30, 2019 and the date of termination, there were no amounts drawn under the facility.
Transition Services Agreement

Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement between us, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (‘‘iHM Management Services’’), iHeartCommunications and CCOH, for one year from the Effective Date (subject to certain rights of New CCOH to extend up to one additional year, as described below), iHM Management Services has agreed to provide, or cause us, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations or any member of the iHeart Group to provide, CCH with certain administrative and support services and other assistance which CCH will utilize in the conduct of its business as such business was conducted prior to the Separation. The transition services may include, among other things, (a) treasury, payroll and other financial related services, (b) certain executive officer services, (c) human resources and employee benefits, (d) legal and related services, (e) information systems, network and related services, (f) investment services and (g) procurement and sourcing support.

The charges for the transition services will generally be intended to be consistent with the Corporate Services Agreement. The allocation of cost is based on various measures depending on the service provided, which measures include relative revenue, employee headcount or number of users of a service. New CCOH may request an extension of the term for all services or individual services for one-month periods for up to an additional 12 months, and the price for transition services provided during such extended term will be increased for any service other than those identified in the schedules to the Transition Services Agreement as an ‘‘IT Service’’ or any other service the use and enjoyment of which requires the use of another IT Service. New CCOH may terminate the Transition Services Agreement with respect to all or any individual service, in whole or in part, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, provided that any co-dependent services must be terminated concurrently.



ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Format of Presentation
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Our discussion is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis.
Our primary business provides media and entertainment services via broadcast and digital delivery, including our networks businesses, through our Audio segment. We also operate businesses that provide audio and media services, including our full-service media representation business, Katz Media Group (“Katz Media”) and our provider of scheduling and broadcast software and services, Radio Computing Servicing ("RCS"). Following the Separation, we ceased to operate the outdoor business, which prior to the Separation was presented as our Americas outdoor segment and our International outdoor segment. The historical results of the outdoor business have been reclassified as results from discontinued operations.
On May 1, 2019, we consummated the Separation and Reorganization, resulting in a substantial reduction in our long-term indebtedness and corresponding cash interest expenses, and significantly extending the maturities of our outstanding indebtedness, as more fully described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Over the past ten years, we have transitioned our Audio business from a single platform radio broadcast operator to a company with multiple platforms including podcasting, networks and live events. We have also invested in numerous technologies and businesses to increase the competitiveness of our inventory with our advertisers and our audience. We believe that our ability to generate free cash flow from these business initiatives coupled with the significant reduction in interest payments due to our reduced level of indebtedness and the elimination of the majority of our near-term debt maturities will enable us to generate sufficient cash flows to operate our businesses and de-lever our balance sheet over time.
Description of our Business
Our Audio strategy centers on delivering entertaining and informative content where our listeners want to find us across multiple platforms, including broadcast, mobile and digital, as well as events. Our primary source of revenue is derived from selling broadcast local and national advertising time on our radio stations, with contracts typically less than one year in duration. The programming formats of our radio stations are designed to reach audiences with targeted demographic characteristics. We are working closely with our advertising and marketing partners to develop tools and leverage data to enable advertisers to effectively reach their desired audiences. We continue to expand the choices for listeners and we deliver our content and sell advertising across multiple distribution channels including digitally via our iHeartRadio mobile application, our station websites and other digital platforms which reach national, regional and local audiences. We also generate revenues from our networks, including Premiere and Total Traffic & Weather, as well as through sponsorships and our nationally recognized live events and other revenue streams. We also generate revenue by providing audio and media services to radio and TV broadcast industry participants through our Katz Media and RCS businesses.
Our advertising revenue is highly correlated to changes in gross domestic product (“GDP”) as advertising spending has historically trended in line with GDP.  Our broadcast national and local revenue, as well as our Katz Media revenue, are generally impacted by political cycles.
Emergence from Bankruptcy
On March 14, 2018, iHeartMedia, Inc. (the “Company,” "iHeartMedia," "we" or "us"), iHeartCommunications, Inc. (“iHeartCommunications”) and certain of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On April 28, 2018, the Debtors filed a plan of reorganization and a related disclosure statement (as amended, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court, which was subsequently amended by filing the second, third, fourth and fifth amended Plan of Reorganization and amended versions of the Disclosure Statement. On January 22, 2019, the Modified Fifth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of iHeartMedia, Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates (as further modified, the “Plan of Reorganization”) was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
On May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied and the Company emerged from Chapter 11 through (a) a series of transactions (the “Separation”) through which Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”), its parent Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with CCOH and CCH, the “Outdoor Group”) were separated from, and ceased to be controlled by, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “iHeart Group”), and (b) a series of transactions (the “Reorganization”) through which iHeartCommunications’ debt was reduced from approximately $16 billion to approximately $5.8 billion and a global compromise and settlement among holders of claims


(“Claimholders”) in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases was effected. The compromise and settlement involved, among others, (i) the restructuring of iHeartCommunications’ indebtedness by (A) replacing its “debtor-in-possession” credit facility with a $450 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) and (B) issuing to certain Claimholders, on account of their claims, approximately $3.5 billion aggregate principal amount of new senior secured term loans (the “Term Loan Facility”), approximately $1.45 billion aggregate principal amount of new 8.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) and approximately $800 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), (ii) the Company’s issuance of new Class A common stock, new Class B common stock and special warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock and Class B common stock (“Special Warrants”) to Claimholders, subject to ownership restrictions imposed by the Federal Communications’ Commission (“FCC”), (iii) the settlement of certain intercompany transactions, and (iv) the sale of the preferred stock (the “iHeart Operations Preferred Stock”) of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary iHeart Operations, Inc. (“iHeart Operations”) in connection with the Separation.
All of the existing equity of the Company was canceled on the Effective Sate pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. 
Beginning on the Effective Date, the Company applied fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after May 1, 2019 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or prior to that date. Refer to Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Executive Summary
The key developments that impacted our business during the quarter are summarized below:
Our Plan of Reorganization became effective May 1, 2019 resulting in the Separation of the Outdoor business and emerging from the Chapter 11 Cases with a significantly de-leveraged capital structure.
As a result of our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, we reduced our long-term debt from approximately $16 billion to approximately $5.8 billion and reduced our leverage from approximately 13x to approximately 2.9x.
Revenue of $913.3 million increased $21.6 million or 2.4% during the Combined Predecessor and Successor three-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.
Operating income of $181.6 million was up from $181.2 million in the prior year’s quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA of $262.9 million, up 3.2% year-over-year.

as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Although GAAP requires that we report on our results for the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 separately, management views the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods.
The Company cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 against any of the previous periods reported in its Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and does not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding the Company’s overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics such as revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and discussion below also present the combined results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which we refer to herein as the results for the "three months ended June 30, 2019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. The combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which we refer to herein as the results for the "six months ended June 30, 2019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from bankruptcy and may not be indicative of future results.

Combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the consolidated results for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
Revenue
Revenue increased $21.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. Revenue increased as a result of higher digital revenue which increased $22.5 million driven by growth in podcasting, primarily as a result of our acquisition of Stuff Media in October 2018, as well as other digital revenue, including live radio and other on-demand services. Broadcast spot revenue decreased $7.8 million, primarily driven by an $8.1 million decrease in political revenue as a result of 2018 being a mid-term congressional election year, partially offset by increased programmatic buying by our national customers. Revenue from our Network businesses, including both Premiere and Total Traffic & Weather, increased $8.9 million, and Audio and Media Services revenue decreased $2.9 million as a result of a $4.1 million decrease in political revenue.
Revenue increased $44.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. The increase in revenue is primarily due to higher digital revenue of $39.1 million driven by growth in podcasting, primarily as a result of our acquisition of Stuff Media in October 2018, as well as other digital revenue, including live radio and other on-demand services and revenue from our Network businesses, including both Premiere and Total Traffic & Weather, which increased $15.0 million. Broadcast spot revenue decreased $10.7 million, primarily due to a $10.9 million decrease in political revenue as a result of 2018 being a mid-term congressional election year. Audio and Media Services revenue decreased $0.9 million due to a $5.1 million decrease in political revenue.
Direct Operating Expenses
Direct operating expenses increased $13.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. Higher direct operating expenses were driven primarily by higher variable expenses, including digital royalties, content costs and production expenses from higher podcasting and digital subscription revenue. We also incurred a $1.2 million increase as a result of the application of fresh start accounting, and a $1.2 million increase due to the impact of the adoption of the new leasing standard in the first quarter of 2019.
Direct operating expenses increased $39.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. Higher direct operating expenses were driven primarily by higher digital royalties, content costs and compensation-related expenses from higher podcasting and digital subscription revenue, as well as higher production costs related to our events, including the iHeartRadio Music Awards. We also incurred a $2.4 million increase in lease expense due to the impact of the adoption of the new leasing standard in the first quarter of 2019.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses
SG&A expenses increased $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. Higher employee costs, primarily driven by the acquisitions of Stuff Media and Jelli in the fourth quarter of 2018, were partially offset by lower commissions as a result of our revenue mix and by a $1.3 million impact as a result of the application of fresh start accounting.


SG&A expenses decreased $10.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease in our SG&A expenses was due to lower trade and barter expenses, primarily resulting from timing, partially offset by higher employee costs, primarily driven by the acquisitions of Stuff Media and Jelli in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses decreased $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, primarily as a result of lower variable incentive compensation expense, partially offset by higher employee benefit costs and share-based compensation expense, which increased $2.5 million as a result of a new equity compensation plan entered in connection with our Plan of Reorganization.
Corporate expenses decreased $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, primarily as a result of lower variable incentive compensation, partially offset by higher employee benefit costs and share-based compensation expense, which increased $2.3 million as a result of a new equity compensation plan entered in connection with our Plan of Reorganization.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $9.1 million and $20.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same periods of 2018, respectively, primarily as a result of the application of fresh start accounting, which resulted in significantly higher values of our tangible and intangible long-lived assets.
Impairment Charges
We perform our annual impairment test on our goodwill, Federal Communication Commission ("FCC") licenses, billboard permits, and other intangible assets as of July 1 of each year. In addition, we test for impairment of intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.  We recognized non-cash impairment charges of $91.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 on our indefinite-lived FCC licenses as a result of an increase in the weighted average cost of capital used in performing the annual impairment test. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements located in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further description of the impairment charges.
Other Operating Income (Expense), Net
Other operating income, net of $3.1 million and Other operating expense, net of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and Other operating income, net of $3.1 million and Other operating expense, net of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, relate to net gains and losses recognized on asset disposals.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $58.7 million and $262.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018 as a result of the interest recognized in connection with our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and the new debt issued upon emergence. In the Predecessor periods, we ceased to accrue interest expense on long-term debt, which was reclassified as Liabilities subject to compromise as of the Petition Date, resulting in $135.9 million and $533.4 million in contractual interest not being accrued in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively and $373.9 million and $440.3 million in contractual interest not being accrued in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
Loss on Investments, net
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a loss of $10.2 million, primarily in connection with other-than-temporary declines in the value of our investments. Gain on investments, net was $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $9.0 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which related primarily to professional fees incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases in the Successor period. Such expenses were included within Reorganization items, net in the Predecessor period.

Other expense, net was $2.1 million and $22.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Amounts in the six months ended June 30, 2018 related primarily to professional fees incurred directly in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases before the March 14, 2018 Petition Date. Such expenses were included within Reorganization items, net in the post-petition period.


Reorganization Items, Net

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized Reorganization items, net of $9,497.9 million and $9,461.8 million, respectively, related to our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, which consisted primarily of the net gain from the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and the related settlement of liabilities. In addition, Reorganization items, net included professional fees recognized between the March 14, 2018 Petition Date and the May 1, 2019 Effective Date in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized Reorganization items, net of $(68.7) million and $(260.8) million, respectively, related to the Chapter 11 Cases, consisting of the write-off of long-term debt fees and original issue discounts on debt subject to compromise, costs incurred in connection with our DIP facility and professional fees. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

The effective tax rate for the Successor Company for the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 was 29.2%. The effective tax rate for continuing operations of the Predecessor Company for Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) was 1.1%, and 0.4%, respectively. The income tax expense for the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) primarily consists of the income tax impacts from reorganization and fresh start adjustments, including adjustments to our valuation allowance. The Company recorded income tax benefits of $102.9 million for reorganization adjustments in the Predecessor period, primarily consisting of: (1)tax expense for the reduction in federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards from the cancellation of debt income ("CODI") realized upon emergence; (2) tax benefit for the reduction in deferred tax liabilities attributed primarily to long-term debt that was discharged upon emergence; (3) tax benefit for the effective settlement of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that were discharged upon emergence; and (4) tax benefit for the reduction in valuation allowance resulting from the adjustments described above. The Company recorded income tax expense of $185.4 million for fresh start adjustments in the Predecessor period, consisting of $529.1 million tax expense for the increase in deferred tax liabilities resulting from fresh start accounting adjustments, which was partially offset by $343.7 million tax benefit for the reduction in the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 130.3% and 5.7%, respectively. The 2018 effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets resulting from current period interest expense limitation carryforward in U.S. federal and certain state jurisdictions due to uncertainty regarding our ability to realize those assets in future periods.

As a result of the Plan of Reorganization, the Company expects the majority of its federal NOL carryforwards and certain state NOL carryforwards to be reduced or eliminated as a result of the CODI realized from the bankruptcy emergence. Pursuant to the attribute reduction and ordering rules set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the reduction in the Company’s tax attributes for excludible CODI does not occur until the last day of the Company’s tax year, December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the tax adjustments recorded in the Predecessor period represent our best estimate using all available information at June 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company recognized a capital loss for tax purposes as a result of the series of transactions to effect the Plan of Reorganization. This capital loss may be carried forward to offset capital gains recognized by the Company in the next five years, subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Code. The deferred tax asset associated with the capital loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance due to significant uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize the carryforward prior to its expiration. The final tax impacts of the bankruptcy emergence, as well as the Plan of Reorganization’s overall effect on the Company’s tax attributes and tax basis in assets will be refined based on the Company’s final December 31, 2019 financial position as required under the Code. The final tax impacts on the companies tax attributes could change significantly from the current estimates.

(1)We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated Operating income adjusted to exclude restructuring and reorganization expenses included within Direct operating expenses, Selling, General and Administrative expenses, (“SG&A”) and Corporate expenses and non-cash compensation expenses included within Corporate expenses, as well as the following line items presented in our Statements of Operations:


Depreciation and amortization; Impairment charges; and Other operating income (expense), net. Alternatively, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (Income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, Income tax (benefit) expense, Interest expense, Depreciation and amortization, Reorganization items, net, Other (income) expense, net, Gain (loss) on investments, net, Other (income) expense, net, Equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates, Impairment charges, Other operating (income) expense, net, Share-based compensation, and Restructuring and reorganization expenses. Restructuring expenses primarily include severance expenses incurred in connection with cost saving initiatives. Reorganization expenses primarily include the amortization of retention bonus amounts paid or payable to certain members of management directly as a result of the Reorganization. We use Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, 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 our operational strength and performance of our business because it provides a link between operational performance and operating income. It is also a primary measure used by management in evaluating companies as potential acquisition targets. We believe 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 management. We believe it helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different capital structures or tax rates. In addition, we believe this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by our investors, analysts and peers in our industry for purposes of valuation and comparing our operating performance to other companies in our industry. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income as an indicator of operating performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Because it excludes certain financial information compared with operating income and compared with consolidated net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
Historically, we had granted restricted shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals. In connection with the effectiveness of our Plan of Reorganization, all unvested restricted shares were canceled.
Pursuant to the new equity incentive plan we entered into in connection with the effectiveness of our Plan of Reorganization, we have granted restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock to certain key individuals.
Share-based compensation expenses are recorded in corporate expenses and were $3.5$3.1 million and $3.5$0.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, respectively, and $9.0$3.5 million and $10.4$1.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, there was $20.3$79.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vestwith vesting based on service conditions. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.83.9 years. In addition, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, there was $26.6$3.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vestwith vesting based on market performance and service conditions. This cost will be recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be satisfied.

Operating Activities
Cash used forprovided by operating activities was $558.7$43.0 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 compared to $272.6$444.4 million of cash used forprovided by operating activities during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018.  The increasedecrease in cash used forprovided by operating activities is primarily attributed to lower operating income as well ascash paid in relation to Reorganization items, net of $196.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the impact of Separation of CCOH of $115.9 million and changes in working capital balances, particularly accounts receivable,payable, which were affected by slower collections, and prepaid assets, partially offset by accounts payable due to the timing of payments. Cash paid for interest was $137.5 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was $1,426.4 million as2019 compared to $1,434.5$206.9 million paid during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. The decrease of $69.5 million in cash paid for interest is due primarily to the interest paid on long-term debt in the Predecessor period prior to the Petition Date. The Company ceased to pay interest on long-term debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise from the Petition Date.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities of $145.0$278.9 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 reflected $184.92019 primarily reflects $222.4 million in cash used for investing activities from discontinued operations. In addition, we used $53.6 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by net cash proceeds from the sale of assets of $71.3 million, which included net cash proceeds from the sale of our outdoor Indianapolis market of $43.1 million.expenditures. We spent $44.4$44.7 million for capital expenditures in our iHMAudio segment primarily related to IT infrastructure, $48.7$2.1 million in our Americas outdoorAudio & Media Services segment, primarily related to the construction of new advertising structures, such as digital boards, $83.9 million in our International outdoor segment primarily related to street furnitureacquired software and transit advertising structures, including digital displays, $0.5 million in our Other category and $7.4$6.8 million in Corporate primarily related to equipment and software purchases.
Cash provided byused for investing activities of $366.3$78.3 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 reflected net cash proceeds from the sale of nine non-strategic outdoor markets including Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, Des Moines, Iowa, Ft. Smith, Arkansas, Memphis, Tennessee, Portland, Oregon, Reno, Nevada, Seattle, Washington and Wichita, Kansas of $592.32018 primarily reflects $58.3 million in cash and certain advertising assets in Florida. Those sale proceeds were partially offset by $201.0used for investing activities from discontinued operations. In addition, we used $27.3 million used for capital expenditures. We spent $46.3$23.9 million for capital expenditures in our iHMAudio segment primarily related to leasehold improvements and IT infrastructure, $47.8$0.8 million in our Americas outdoorAudio & Media Services segment, primarily related to the construction of new advertising structures, such as digital displays, $97.5 million in our International outdoor segment primarily related to billboardacquired software and street furniture advertising structures, $1.8 million in our Other category and $7.7$2.7 million in Corporate primarily related to equipment and software purchases.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities of $137.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily resulted from proceeds from long-term debt issued by one of our international subsidiaries, as well as borrowings on our receivables-based credit facility. These proceeds were partially offset by dividends paid to non-controlling interests, which represents the portion of the dividends paid by CCOH in February 2017 to parties other than our subsidiaries that own CCOH stock, and a payment under our receivables-based credit facility.
Cash used for financing activities of $322.6$56.2 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162019 primarily resulted from the purchasepayment by iHeartCommunications to CCOH as CCOH's recovery of its claims under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note, partially offset by $60.0 million in proceeds received from the issuance of the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock.
Cash used for financing activities of $360.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily resulted from payments on long-term debt and on our receivables based credit facility. In connection with the replacement of the iHeartCommunications' 10.0% Senior Notes duereceivables based credit facility with a new DIP Facility on June 14, 2018, for an aggregate purchase price of $222.2we repaid the outstanding $306.4 million and dividends paid to non-controlling interests.$74.3 million balances of the receivables based credit facility's term loan and revolving credit commitments, respectively.
Anticipated Cash Requirements
The Separation and Reorganization resulted in a new capital structure with significantly lower levels of long-term debt and a corresponding decrease in debt service requirements after emergence compared to historical debt levels. As a result of the Separation and Reorganization, our consolidated long-term debt decreased from approximately $16 billion to $5.8 billion. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid $137.5 million of cash interest, and incurred contractual interest of $533.4 million that was not paid.
In connection with the Separation and Reorganization, we paid CCOH $115.8 million in settlement of intercompany payable balances, including settlement of the Due from iHeartCommunications Note and post-petition intercompany balances, $15.8 million to cure contracts, $17.5 million for general unsecured claims, and $196.3 million for professional fees (of which $125 million was paid on the Effective Date).
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, which consisted of $127.2 million as of June 30, 2019, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under iHeartCommunications' domestic receivables-based credit facility, subject to the limitations contained in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements, and cash from liquidity-generating transactions.our ABL Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we had $286.4 million of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet, including $222.4 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our subsidiary, CCOH. Included in the cash held by CCOH is $206.1 million of cash held outside the U.S. It is our policy to permanently reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries as these earnings are generally redeployed in those jurisdictions for operating needs and continued functioning of their businesses.  We have the ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of consolidated subsidiaries based outside of the United States, except that excess cash from our foreign operations may be transferred to our operations in the United States if needed to fund operations in the United States, subject to the foreseeable cash needs of our foreign operations and the mutual agreement of us and CCOH.  If any excess cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is needed to fund operations in the United States, we could presently repatriate available funds without a requirement to accrue or pay U.S. taxes.  This is a result of significant deficits, as calculated for tax law purposes, in our foreign earnings and profits, which gives us flexibility to make future cash distributions as non-taxable returns of capital. 
As of September 30, 2017,2019, we had a borrowing basefacility size of $499.1$450.0 million under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility,ABL Facility, had $365.0 million ofno borrowings outstanding borrowings and had $49.1$59.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in $85.0$390.8 million of excess availability.  However, any incremental borrowings under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility are further limited by the terms contained in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements.


OurWe expect that our primary anticipated uses of liquidity arewill be to fund our working capital, make interest payments and voluntary prepayments of principal on our long-term debt service,and to fund capital expenditures and other obligations. At September 30, 2017, we had debt maturities totaling $366.9 million, $308.5 million (net of $277.1 millionThese other obligations include dividend payments to be due to certain subsidiariesthe investor of iHeartCommunications)preferred stock of iHeart Operations, the terms of which are further described in Note 8 to our financial statements included herein. For 2019, we anticipate that we will have approximately


$400 million of annual cash interest payments. Over the past ten years, we have transitioned our Audio business from a single platform radio broadcast operator to a company with multiple platforms, including podcasting, networks and $8,368.9 millionlive events. We have also invested in 2017, 2018numerous technologies and 2019, respectively.  A substantial amountbusinesses to increase the competitiveness of our cash requirements are for debt service obligations.inventory with our advertisers and our audience. We anticipate having approximately $344.6 million of cash interest payment obligations during the three months ending December 31, 2017.  Our significant interest payment obligations reduce our financial flexibility, make us more vulnerable to changes in operating performance and economic downturns, reduce our liquidity and negatively affect iHeartCommunications' ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. We adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2016. Under this standard, we are required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt aboutbelieve that our ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods.
In evaluating our ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following the date our financial statements were issued (November 8, 2017). Management considered our current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted futuregenerate cash flows and our conditional and unconditional obligations due before November 8, 2018.
A substantial amount of our cash requirements are for debt service obligations. Although we have generated operating income in excess of $1.0 billion in each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we incurred net losses and had negative cash flowsflow from operations for each offrom these years as a result of significant cashbusiness initiatives and borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, taken together, will provide sufficient resources to fund and operate our business, fund capital expenditures and other obligations and make interest payments arising fromand voluntary prepayments of principal on our substantiallong-term debt balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used cash of $558.7 million for operating activities, which included cash paid for interest of $1,426.4 million. Our current forecast indicates we will continue to incur net losses and generate negative cash flows from operating activities as a result of our indebtedness and significant related interest expense. At September 30, 2017, the Company had debt maturities totaling $366.9 million, $308.5 million (net of $277.1 million due to certain of our subsidiaries) and $8,368.9 million in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. In October 2017, we exchanged $45.0 million principal amount of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were held by a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications for $45.0 million principal amount of 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 that were held by unaffiliated third parties. After the exchanges, our debt maturities inat least the next 12 months include, (i) $365.0 million outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility, which matures on December 24, 2017, (ii) $51.5 million of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, (iii) $175.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and (iv) $24.8 million of contractual AHYDO catch-up payments to be made on iHeartCommunications' 14% Senior Notes due 2021 on the interest payment due on August 1, 2018.Our forecast includes approximately $1.8 billion in cash interest payments in the next 12 months, of which $344.6 million is payable in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $548.2 million is payable in the first quarter of 2018. In addition, in certain circumstances, a committee of the CCOH board of directors formedthereafter for the specific purpose of monitoring the Intercompany Note (the “CCOH Intercompany Note Committee”) has the non-exclusive authority to demand payments under the Intercompany Note, as long as the CCOH board of directors declares a simultaneous dividend equal to the amount so demanded.  As of November 8, 2017, the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee has the right pursuant to the terms of the settlement of the derivative litigation filed by CCOH’s stockholders regarding the Intercompany Note but not the obligation, to make a demand on the Intercompany Note. If the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee exercises this right to demand a full repayment of the Intercompany Note and the CCOH board of directors declares a simultaneous dividend, based on the balance of the Intercompany Note outstanding at September 30, 2017, approximately $110.4 million would be payable to the public stockholders of CCOH. If we are unable to refinance the amounts outstanding under the receivables-based credit facility, the 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018 and/or the 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and take other steps to create additional liquidity, forecasted cash flows are not sufficient for us to meet our obligations, including upcoming interest payments and maturities on our outstanding debt, as they become due in the ordinary course of business for a period of 12 months following November 8, 2017. As discussed below, we have plans to reduce our principal and interest obligations and to create additional liquidity.
We are in advanced negotiations with potential lenders to refinance the amounts outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility and currently expect to refinance the amounts outstanding under that facility prior to its maturity. In addition, we are taking actions to maximize cash available to meet our obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, as more fully described in Note 3 of our financial statements, we launched notes exchange offers and term loan offers in March 2017, which notes exchange offers and term loan offers remain open as of November 8, 2017. We have engaged in discussions with many of our lenders and noteholders regarding the terms of the global exchange offers and the term loan offers, which have been revised since launch and remain subject to substantial further revision, but no agreement has been reached with respect to those discussions and the discussions remain ongoing. These actions are intended to mitigate those


conditions which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following November 8, 2017.
While we continue to work toward completing the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers or other similar transactions, refinancing the amounts outstanding under the receivables-based credit facility and taking other actions to create additional liquidity, there is no assurance that the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers or other similar transactions will be completed, that the amounts outstanding under the receivables-based credit facility will be refinanced or that we will be able to create additional liquidity. Our ability to meet our obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months will depend on our ability to achieve forecasted results, our ability to conserve cash, our ability to refinance the amounts outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility, our ability to successfully complete the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers or other similar transactions and achieve sufficient cash interest savings therefrom and our ability to complete other liquidity-generating transactions. Based on the uncertainty of achieving these actions and the significance of the forecasted future negative cash flows resulting from our substantial debt balance, including anticipated future cash interest payments (including interest due in the fourth quarter of 2017 and in 2018) and the maturities of the $365.0 million in current borrowings under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility that matures December 24, 2017, the $51.5 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, the $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and the $24.8 million of contractual AHYDO catch-up payments to be made on iHeartCommunications' 14% Senior Notes due 2021 beginning with the interest payment due on August 1, 2018, management has determined that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following November 8, 2017.
If we are unable to complete any of the actions described in the paragraph above, or if there are material adverse developments in our business, results of operations or liquidity, we may be forced to further reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell material assets, seek additional capital or file for bankruptcy court protection. We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these actions on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all.
In connection with the cash management arrangements for CCOH, iHeartCommunications maintains an intercompany revolving promissory note payable by iHeartCommunications to CCOH (the "Intercompany Note"), which matures on December 15, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the balance of the Note was $1,051.3 million, all of which is payable on demand. While we intend to extend the maturity of the Intercompany Note prior to its maturity, the principal amount outstanding under the Intercompany Note is subject to demand by CCOH or the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee. See "--CCOH Dividends" below.
The covenants in iHeartCommunications' senior secured credit facilities include a requirement that we receive an opinion from our auditors in connection with our year-end audit that is not subject to a “going concern” or like qualification or exception. Even if we are able to successfully refinance the amounts outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility and manage our liquidity challenges through the end of 2017, if we are unable to improve our liquidity forecast for 2018 and refinance or extend a significant portion of our substantial 2019 debt maturities prior to the completion of the audit of our 2017 financial statements, we anticipate that our auditor’s year-end opinion will contain a “going concern” qualification, and, if we are unable to obtain a waiver or amendment of the covenant in the senior secured credit facilities that requires us to deliver an unqualified auditor’s opinion, it will trigger a default under the senior secured credit facilities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such a waiver or amendment.
Except as set forth below under "Non-Payment of $57.1 Million of iHeartCommunications' Legacy Notes Held by an Affiliate," we were in compliance with the covenants contained in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements as of September 30, 2017, including the maximum consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated EBITDA limitation contained in iHeartCommunications' senior secured credit facilities. However, our future results are subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants. Our ability to comply with these covenants in the future may be affected by events beyond our control, including the uncertainties described above and prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. The breach of any covenants set forth in iHeartCommunications' financing agreements would result in a default thereunder. An event of default would permit the lenders under a defaulted financing agreement to declare all indebtedness thereunder to be immediately due and payable. Moreover, the lenders under the receivables-based credit facility under iHeartCommunications' senior secured credit facilities would have the option to terminate their commitments to make further extensions of credit thereunder. If we are unable to repay iHeartCommunications' obligations under any secured credit facility, the lenders could proceed against any assets that were pledged to secure such facility. In addition, a default or acceleration under any of iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements could cause a default under other of our obligations that are subject to cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions. The threshold amount for a cross-default under the senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing our outstanding bonds is $100.0 million. The default resulting from non-payment of the $57.1 million


of 5.50% Senior Notes described below is below the $100.0 million cross-default threshold in iHeartCommunications' debt documents but will be included in any determination as to whether that threshold has been met so long as that default is continuing.
Recent Liquidity-Generating Transactions
On February 7, 2017, iHeartCommunications completed an exchange offer of $476.4 million principal amount of its 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 for $476.4 million principal amount of newly-issued 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021. Of the $476.4 million principal amount of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 issued in the exchange offer, $241.4 million principal amount was issued to subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications that participated in the exchange offer.
On February 9, 2017, CCOH declared a special dividend of $282.5 million using a portion of the proceeds from the sales of certain non-strategic U.S. outdoor markets and of our Australia outdoor business. On February 23, 2017, we received 89.9% of that dividend, or approximately $254.0 million, with the remaining 10.1%, or approximately $28.5 million, paid to public stockholders of CCOH. This transaction improved our liquidity position in the short term. We cannot assure you that we will enter into or consummate any liquidity-generating transactions, or that such transactions will provide sufficient cash to satisfy our liquidity needs, and any such transactions, if consummated, could adversely affect us in other ways. Future liquidity-generating transactions could have the effect of further increasing our annual cash interest payment obligations, reducing our cash flow from operations or reducing cash available for capital expenditures and other business initiatives.
On July 10, 2017, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications exchanged $15.6 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 that were held by an unaffiliated third party for $15.6 million aggregate principal amount of its 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were held by a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications.
On July 31, 2017, iHeartCommunications borrowed an additional $60.0 million under its receivables-based credit facility.foreseeable future.
On August 14, 2017, Clear Channel International B.V. ("CCIBV"), our indirect subsidiary, issued $150,000,000.07, 2019, iHeartCommunications completed the sale of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.75%5.25% Senior Secured Notes due 20202027 (the “New CCIBV Notes”"New Senior Secured Notes"). The in a private placement. We used the net proceeds from the New CCIBVSenior Secured Notes, were issued as additional notestogether with cash on hand, to prepay at par $740.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the indenture governing CCIBV’s existing 8.75% Senior Notes due 2020 and were issued at a premium, which resulted in $156.0our Term Loan Facility. Our Term Loan Facility called for quarterly principal payments of approximately $8.75 million in proceeds.  The New CCIBV Notes mature on December 15, 2020 and bearaddition to interest payments at a rate of 8.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year.
In October 2017, a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications exchanged $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were held by a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications for $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 that were held by unaffiliated third parties.
We have made and may in the future make repurchases and exchanges of indebtedness of iHeartCommunications. In addition, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities both within and outside our existing lines of business. We expect from time to time to pursue dispositions or acquisitions, which could be material.  iHeartCommunications' and its subsidiaries’ significant amount of indebtedness may limit our ability to pursue dispositions or acquisitions.  The terms of our existing or future debt agreements may also restrict our ability to engage in these transactions.
Non-Payment of $57.1 Million of iHeartCommunications Legacy Notes Held by an Affiliate
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. ("CCH"), owns $57.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.50% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "5.50% Senior Notes")LIBOR + 4.00%. On December 9, 2016, a special committee of our independent directors decided to not repay the $57.1 million principal amount of the 5.50% Senior Notes held by CCH when the notes matured on December 15, 2016 and on December 12, 2016, we informed CCH of that decision. CCH informed us on that date that, while it retains its right to exercise remedies under the indenture governing the 5.50% Senior Notes (the "legacy notes indenture") in the future, it does not currently intend to, and it does not currently intend to request that the trustee, seek to collect principal amounts due or exercise or request enforcement of any remedy with respect to the nonpayment of such principal amount under the legacy notes indenture.  As a result $57.1of our $740 million prepayment, no such principal payments are required for the remaining term of the 5.50% Senior Notes remain outstanding. We repaid the other $192.9 million of 5.50% Senior Notes held by other holders, and we intend to continue to pay interest on the 5.50% Senior Notes held by CCH for so long as such notes continue to remain outstanding.
For as long as we have at least $500 million of legacy notes outstanding, including the $57.1 million of 5.50% Senior Notes currently held by CCH, we will not have an obligation to grant certain additional security interests in favor of certain of our lenders and holders of our existing priority guarantee notes or the holders of our legacy notes under the "springing lien" described in the agreements governing that indebtedness, and the limitations existing with respect to the existing security interests will remain in place until up to 60 days following the date on which not more than $500 million aggregate principal amount of the legacy notes remain outstanding.


Notes Exchange Offers and Term Loan Offers
On March 15, 2017, iHeartCommunications commenced exchange offers (the “notes exchange offers”)Facility - resulting in an approximately $35 million annual reduction in required debt service payments.  In addition, annual cash interest payments are expected to exchange certain series of its outstanding debt securities (the “Existing Notes”) for new securities of the Company, iHeartCommunications and CC Outdoor Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and concurrent consent solicitations with respect to the terms of the Existing Notes. On March 15, 2017, the Company also commenced offers (the “term loan offers”) to amend its outstanding Term Loan D and Term Loan E borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities and/or to issue new securities of the Company, CC Outdoor Holdings, Inc., Broader Media, LLC and/or iHeartCommunications to the lenders depending on the scenario in which the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers close. The notes exchange offers were amended on April 14, 2017. Both the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers were open as of November 8, 2017. The terms of the notes exchange offers and the term loan offersbe approximately $7 million lower than would have been revised and are subject to substantial further revision, andrequired before the offers may never be consummated, on the terms currently proposed or otherwise.refinancing transaction.

Guarantees and Security

The ABL Facility is guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, the guarantors of iHeartCommunications’ Term Loan Facility. All obligations under the ABL Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by a perfected security interest in the accounts receivable and related assets of iHeartCommunications’ and the guarantors’ accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof that is senior to the security interest of iHeartCommunications’ Term Loan Facility in such accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions.

We or our subsidiaries may also sell certain assets, securities or properties. These purchases or sales, if any, could have a material positive or negative impact on our liquidity availablesubject to repay outstanding debt obligations or on our consolidated results of operations. These transactions could also require or result in amendments to the agreements governing outstanding debt obligations or changes in our leverage or other financial ratios, which could have a material positive or negative impact on our ability to comply with the covenants contained in iHeartCommunications' debt agreements. These transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The senior secured credit facilities require iHeartCommunications to comply on a quarterly basis with a financial covenant limiting the ratio of consolidated secured debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to consolidated EBITDA (as defined by iHeartCommunications' senior secured credit facilities) for the preceding four quarters. iHeartCommunications' secured debt consists of the senior secured credit facilities, the receivables-based credit facility, the priority guarantee notesreinvestment rights and certain other secured subsidiary debt.  As required byexceptions; and

100% of the definitionnet cash proceeds of consolidated EBITDA in iHeartCommunications' senior secured credit facilities, iHeartCommunications' consolidated EBITDA forany incurrence of debt, other than debt permitted under the preceding four quarters of $1.7 billion 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 forTerm Loan Facility.

iHeartCommunications may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the following items: (i) costs incurredTerm Loan Facility at any time, without prepayment premium or penalty, except in connection with a repricing event within nine months of the closure and/or consolidation of facilities, retention charges, consulting feesEffective Date and other permitted activities; (ii) extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains or losses or expenses and severance; (iii) non-cash charges; (iv) cash received from nonconsolidated affiliates; and (v) various other items.subject to customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurocurrency loans.

We areEffective Date, we were party to a management agreement with certain affiliates of the Sponsors and certain other parties pursuant to which such affiliates of the Sponsors will provideprovided management and financial advisory services until December 31, 2018.  These arrangements requirerequired management fees to be paid to such affiliates of the Sponsors for such services at a rate not greater than $15.0 million per year, plus reimbursable expenses.  ForThe Company did not recognize management fees following the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, thePetition Date. The Company recognized management fees and reimbursable expenses of $3.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and $3.9 million and $11.5$3.1 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, respectively.
CCOH Dividends
In connection with the cash management arrangements for CCOH, iHeartCommunications maintains an intercompany revolving promissory note payable by iHeartCommunications to CCOH (the “Intercompany Note”), which consists2018. As of the net activities resulting from day-to-day cashEffective Date, these management services provided by iHeartCommunications to CCOH.  As of September 30, 2017, the balance of the Note was $1,051.3 million, all of which is payable on demand.  The Intercompany Note is eliminated in consolidation in our consolidated financial statements.
The Intercompany Note previously was the subject of litigation. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement of that litigation, CCOH’s board of directors established an intercompany note committee for the specific purpose of monitoring the Intercompany Note. The CCOH Intercompany Note Committee has the non-exclusive authority, pursuant to the terms of its charter, to demand payments under the Intercompany Note under certain specified circumstances tied to the Company’s liquidity or the amountfees were waived.


outstanding under the Intercompany Note as long as CCOH makes a simultaneous dividend equal to the amount so demanded. If the specified circumstances tied to the Company’s liquidity occur, the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee is authorized to demand repayment of up to the full principal amount of the Intercompany Note, if it declares a simultaneous dividend to CCOH’s stockholders in the same amount. As of November 8, 2017, the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee has the right pursuant to the terms of the settlement of the derivative litigation filed by CCOH’s stockholders regarding the Intercompany Note but not the obligation, to make a demand on the Intercompany Note. Based on the $1,051.3 million balance of the Intercompany Note and the ownership of CCOH as of September 30, 2017, if the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee were to demand repayment of the Intercompany Note in full, we would be required to use cash to fund approximately $110.4 million, or 10.5% of the dividend, to be paid to the public stockholders of CCOH. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient cash available to make such a payment if the liquidity trigger occurs.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, CCOH sold its outdoor business in Australia for cash proceeds of $195.7 million, net of cash retained by the purchaser and closing costs.  As discussed above under "Recent Liquidity-Generating Transactions," on February 9, 2017, CCOH declared a special dividend of $282.5 million using a portion of the cash proceeds from the sales of certain non-strategic U.S. outdoor markets and of our Australia outdoor business. On February 23, 2017, we received 89.9% of the dividend, or approximately $254.0 million, with the remaining 10.1%, or approximately $28.5 million, paid to public stockholders of CCOH.
On September 14, 2017, (i) CCOH provided notice of its intent to make a demand (the “First Demand”) for repayment on October 5, 2017 of $25.0 million outstanding under the Intercompany Note, and (ii) the board of directors of CCOH declared a special cash dividend, which was paid on October 5, 2017 to CCOH’s Class A and Class B stockholders of record at the closing of business on October 2, 2017, in an aggregate amount equal to $25.0 million, funded with the proceeds of the First Demand. iHeartCommunications received approximately 89.5%, or approximately $22.4 million, of the proceeds of the dividend through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The remaining approximately 10.5% of the proceeds of the dividend, or approximately $2.6 million, was paid to the public stockholders of CCOH.

On October 11, 2017, (i) CCOH provided notice of its intent to make a demand (the “Second Demand”) for repayment on October 31, 2017 of $25.0 million outstanding under the Intercompany Note, and (ii) the board of directors of CCOH declared a special cash dividend, which was paid on October 31, 2017 to CCOH’s Class A and Class B stockholders of record at the closing of business on October 26, 2017, in an aggregate amount equal to $25.0 million, funded with the proceeds of the Second Demand. iHeartCommunications received approximately 89.5%, or approximately $22.4 million, of the proceeds of the dividend through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The remaining approximately 10.5% of the proceeds of the dividend, or approximately $2.6 million, was paid to the public stockholders of CCOH.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings.  Please refer to “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

SEASONALITY
Typically, the iHM, Americas outdoor and International outdoor segments experience theirAudio segment experiences its lowest financial performance in the first quarter of the calendar year, with International outdoor historically experiencing a loss from operations in that period. Our International outdoor segment typically experiences its strongest performance in the second and fourth quarters of the calendar year. We expect this trend to continue in the future. In addition, the majority of interest payments made in relation to long-term debt are paid in the first and third quarters of each calendar year. Due to this seasonality and certain other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year.  In addition, our Audio segment and our Audio and media representation business are impacted by political cycles and generally experience higher revenues in congressional election years, and particularly in presidential election years. This cyclicality may affect comparability of results between years.

MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in interest rates foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.
Interest Rate Risk


A significant amount of our long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings will be affected by changes in interest rates. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, approximately 32%61% of our aggregate principal amount of long-term debt bearsbore interest at floating rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings and assuming a 50% change in LIBOR, it is estimated that our interest expense for the nine months ended SeptemberPeriod from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 20172019 would have changed by $26.2$7.6 million.
In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management may take actions to mitigate our exposure.  However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the preceding interest rate sensitivity analysis assumes no such actions.  Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate RiskInflation
We have operations in countries throughout the world.  Foreign operations are measured in their local currencies.  As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we have operations.  We believe we mitigate a small portion of our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with a natural hedge through borrowings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our foreign operations reported net losses of $15.2 million and $15.4 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  We estimate a 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have decreased our net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 by $1.5 million, respectively.  A 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have increased our net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 by corresponding amounts.
This analysis does not consider the implications that such currency fluctuations could have on the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment in the U.S. or the foreign countries or on the results of operations of these foreign entities.
Inflation
Inflation is a factor in the economies in which we do business and we continue to seek ways to mitigate its effect.  Inflation has affected our performance in terms of higher costs for wages, salaries and equipment.  Although the exact impact of inflation is indeterminable, we believe we have offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates of most of our broadcasting stations and outdoor display faces in our iHM, Americas outdoor and International outdoorAudio operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates that are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such difference could be material. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Note 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management believes that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The following narrative describes these critical accounting estimates, the judgments and assumptions and the effect if actual results differ from these assumptions.

The Company performs its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of July 1 of each year.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
In connection with the Merger Agreement pursuant to which we acquired iHeartCommunications in 2008, we allocated the purchase price to all of our assets and liabilities at estimated fair values, including our FCC licenses and our billboard permits. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our FCC licenses and our billboard permits, are reviewed annually for possible impairment using the direct valuation method as prescribed in ASC 805-20-S99. Under the direct valuation method, the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets was calculated at the market level as prescribed by ASC 350-30-35. Under the direct valuation method, it is assumed that rather than acquiring indefinite-lived intangible assets as a part of a going concern business, the buyer hypothetically obtains indefinite-lived intangible assets and builds a new operation with similar attributes from scratch.


Thus, the buyer incurs start-up costs during the build-up phase which are normally associated with going concern value. Initial capital costs are deducted from the discounted cash flows model, which results in value that is directly attributable to the indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Our key assumptions using the direct valuation method are market revenue growth rates, market share, profit margin, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up capital costs and losses incurred during the build-up period, the risk-adjusted discount rate and terminal values. This data is populated using industry normalized information representing an average asset within a market.

On July 1, 2017, we performed our annual impairment test in accordance with ASC 350-30-35 and recognized impairment charges of $6.0 million related to FCC Licenses and no impairment related to outdoor billboard permits.

In determining the fair value of our FCC licenses, the following key assumptions were used:

Revenue growth sales forecasts published by BIA Financial Network, Inc. (“BIA”), varying by market, were used for the initial four-year period;
2.0% revenue growth was assumed beyond the initial four-year period;
Revenue was grown proportionally over a build-up period, reaching market revenue forecast by year 3;
Operating margins of 12.5% in the first year gradually climb to the industry average margin in year 3 of up to 25.0%, depending on market size; and
Assumed discount rates of 8.0% for the 13 largest markets and 8.5% for all other markets.

In determining the fair value of our billboard permits, the following key assumptions were used:

Industry revenue growth forecasts between 0.5% and 3.5% were used for the initial four-year period;
3.0% revenue growth was assumed beyond the initial four-year period;
Revenue was grown over a build-up period, reaching maturity by year 2;
Operating margins gradually climb to the industry average margin of up to 55.9%, depending on market size, by year 3; and
Assumed discount rate of 7.5%.

While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and utilized appropriate assumptions to calculate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, it is possible a material change could occur. If future results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, we may be exposed to impairment charges in the future. The following table shows the change in the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets that would result from a 100 basis point decline in our discrete and terminal period revenue growth rate and profit margin assumptions and a 100 basis point increase in our discount rate assumption:
(In thousands) Revenue Profit Discount
Description Growth Rate Margin Rates
FCC license $485,735
 $183,700
 $549,775
Billboard permits $1,107,600
 $161,800
 $1,118,300
The estimated fair value of our FCC licenses and billboard permits at July 1, 2017 was $7.0 billion ($3.2 billion for FCC licenses and $3.7 billion for billboard permits), while the carrying value was $3.4 billion. The estimated fair value of our FCC licenses and billboard permits at July 1, 2016 was $7.1 billion ($3.1 billion for FCC licenses and $4.0 billion for billboard permits), while the carrying value was $3.4 billion.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. We test goodwill at interim dates if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The fair value of our reporting units is used to apply value to the net assets of each reporting unit. To the extent that the carrying amount of net assets would exceed the fair value, an impairment charge may be required to be recorded.

The discounted cash flow approach we use for valuing goodwill as part of the two-step impairment testing approach involves estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the related assets, discounted to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Terminal values are also estimated and discounted to their present value.



On July 1, 2017, we performed our annual impairment test in accordance with ASC 350-30-35, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $1.6 million related to one of our International outdoor markets. In determining the fair value of our reporting units, we used the following assumptions:

Expected cash flows underlying our business plans for the periods 2017 through 2021. Our cash flow assumptions are based on detailed, multi-year forecasts performed by each of our operating segments, and reflect the advertising outlook across our businesses.
Cash flows beyond 2021 are projected to grow at a perpetual growth rate, which we estimated at 2.0% for our iHM segment, 3.0% for our Americas outdoor and International outdoor segments, and 2.0% for our Other segment (beyond 2024).
In order to risk adjust the cash flow projections in determining fair value, we utilized a discount rate of approximately 8.0% to 11.5% for each of our reporting units.

Based on our annual assessment using the assumptions described above, a hypothetical 10% reduction in the estimated fair value in each of our reporting units would not result in a material impairment condition.

While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and utilized appropriate assumptions to calculate the estimated fair value of our reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If future results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, we may be exposed to impairment charges in the future. The following table shows the decline in the fair value of each of our reportable segments that would result from a 100 basis point decline in our discrete and terminal period revenue growth rate and profit margin assumptions and a 100 basis point increase in our discount rate assumption:
(In thousands) Revenue Profit Discount

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 at the reasonable assurance level.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We currently are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Although we are involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of our litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.
Chapter 11 Cases
iHeartCommunications' filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated its obligations under its debt agreements. Due to the Chapter 11 Cases, however, the creditors' ability to exercise remedies under iHeartCommunications' debt agreements were stayed as of March 14, 2018, the date of the Chapter 11 petition filing, and continue to be stayed. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements located in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about the debt agreements. On March 21, 2018, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB ("WSFS"), solely in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027 (collectively with the 5.50% Senior Notes due 2016, the “Legacy Notes”), and not in its individual capacity, filed an adversary proceeding against us in the Chapter 11 Cases. In the complaint, WSFS alleged, among other things, that the "springing lien" provisions of the priority guarantee notes indentures and the priority guarantee notes security agreements amounted to "hidden encumbrances" on the Company's property, to which the holders of the 6.875% senior notes due 2018 and 7.25% senior notes due 2027 were entitled to "equal and ratable" treatment. On March 26, 2018, Delaware Trust Co. ("Delaware Trust"), in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 14.0% Senior Notes due 2021, filed a motion to intervene as a plaintiff in the adversary proceeding filed by WSFS. In the complaint, Delaware Trust alleged, among other things, that the indenture governing the 14.0% Senior Notes due 2021 also has its own "negative pledge" covenant, and, therefore, to the extent the relief sought by WSFS in its adversary proceeding is warranted, the holders of the 14.0% Senior Notes due 2021 are also entitled to the same "equal and ratable" liens on the same property. On April 6, 2018, we filed a motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding and a hearing on such motion was held on May 7, 2018. We answered the complaint and completed discovery.  The trial was held on October 24, 2018. On January 15, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in our favor denying all relief sought by WSFS and all other parties. Pursuant to a settlement (the “Legacy Plan Settlement”) with WSFS and certain consenting Legacy Noteholders of all issues related to confirmation of our Plan of Reorganization, on May 1, 2019 upon our confirmed Plan of Reorganization becoming effective, this adversary proceeding was deemed withdrawn and/or dismissed, with respect to all parties thereto, with prejudice and in its entirety.
On October 9, 2018, WSFS, solely in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027, and not in its individual capacity, filed an adversary proceeding against Clear Channel Holdings Inc. (“CCH”) and certain shareholders of iHeartMedia. The named shareholder defendants are Bain Capital LP; THL; Abrams Capital L.P. ("Abrams"); and Highfields Capital Management L.P. ("Highfields"). In the complaint, WSFS alleged, among other things, that the shareholder defendants engaged in a “pattern of inequitable and bad faith conduct, including the abuse of their insider positions to benefit themselves at the expense of third-party creditors including particularly the Legacy Noteholders.” The complaint asks the court to grant relief in the form of equitable subordination of the shareholder defendants’ term loan, Priority Guarantee Notes and 14.0% Senior Notes due 2021 claims to any and all claims of the legacy noteholders. In addition, the complaint sought to have any votes to accept the fourth amended plan of reorganization by Abrams and Highfields on account of their 2021 notes claims, and any votes to accept the fourth amended plan of reorganization by the defendant Clear Channel Holdings, Inc., ("CCH") on account of its junior notes claims, to be designated and disqualified. The court held a pre-trial conference and oral argument on October 18, 2018. Pursuant to the Legacy Plan Settlement, on May 1, 2019 upon our confirmed Plan of Reorganization becoming effective, this adversary proceeding was deemed withdrawn and/or dismissed, with respect to all parties thereto, with prejudice and in its entirety.

No. 2017-0930-JRS. The complaint names as defendants the Company, iHeartCommunications, the Former Sponsor Defendants, and the members of CCOH's board of directors.  CCOH is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that CCOH has been harmed by the CCOH board of directors' November 2017 decision to extend the maturity date of the intercompany revolving note (the “Third Amendment”) at what the complaint describes as far-below-market interest rates.  The plaintiff sought, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to CCOH, a modification of the Third Amendment to bear a commercially reasonable rate of interest, and an order requiring disgorgement of all profits, benefits and other compensation obtained by defendants as a result of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
For information regarding ourThere have not been any material changes to the risk factors please referdisclosed under the caption “Liquidity Risk” and “Risks Related to our Business” in Part I, Item 1A inof our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 (the "Annual Report"“Annual Report”) and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. There have not been any material changes


in the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report and Quarterly Reports,, except that we are updating the risk factors entitled “We face intense competition in our iHeartMedia and our outdoor advertising businesses,” “Our business is dependent on our management team and other key individuals,” “Our financial performance may be adversely affected by many factors beyond our control,” Future acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions could pose risks,” “Extensive current government regulation, and future regulation, may limit our radio broadcasting and other iHeartMedia operations or adversely affect our business and financial results,” “If our security measures are breached, wecould lose valuable information, suffer disruptions to our business, and incur expenses and liabilities including damages to our relationships withlisteners, consumers, business partners and advertisers,” and “Transfers of our equity and issuances of equity in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases may impair our ability to utilize our federal income tax NOL carryforwards in future years” as set forth below, and we are supplementing these risk factors with the risk factor entitled "To serviceWe face intense competition in our debt obligationsbusiness,” “If events occur that damage our reputation and brand, our ability to fundgrow our operationsuser base, advertiser relationships, and partnerships may be impaired and our capital expenditures,business may be harmed,” “The Separation could result in significant tax liability or other unfavorable tax consequences to us” and “Transfers of iHeartMedia’s equity in connection with iHeartMedia’s Chapter 11 proceedings and cancellation of indebtedness income realized by the debtors in the iHeartMedia Chapter 11 proceedings may impair the iHeartMedia Group’s ability to utilize its U.S. federal income tax NOL carryforwards in future years” as set forth below:
We face intense competition in our business.
We operate in a highly competitive industry, and we requiremay not be able to maintain or increase our current audience ratings and advertising revenues. Our business competes for audiences and advertising revenues with other radio businesses, as well as with other media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, direct mail, portable digital audio players, mobile devices, satellite radio, Internet-based services and live entertainment, within their respective markets. Audience ratings and market shares are subject to change for various reasons, including through consolidation of our competitors through processes such as mergers and acquisitions, which could have the effect of reducing our revenues in a specific market. Our competitors may develop technology, services or advertising media that are equal or superior to those we provide or that achieve greater market acceptance and brand recognition than we achieve. For example, our competitors may develop analytic products for programmatic advertising, and data and research tools that are superior to those that we provide or that achieve greater market acceptance. It also is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant amountmarket share in our business, or make it more difficult for us to increase our share of cashadvertising partners' budgets. The advertiser/agency ecosystem is diverse and dynamic, with advertiser/agency relationships subject to meetchange. This could have an adverse effect on us if an advertiser client shifts its relationship to an agency with whom we do not have as good a relationship. An increased level of competition for advertising dollars may lead to lower advertising rates as we attempt to retain customers or may cause us to lose customers to our needs, whichcompetitors who offer lower rates that we are unable or unwilling to match.
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part on our ability to achieve a competitive cost structure. If we cannot do so, then our business, financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected.
If events occur that damage our reputation and brand, our ability to grow our user base, advertiser relationships, and partnerships may be impaired and our business may be harmed.
We have developed a brand that we believe has contributed to our success. We also believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand is critical to growing our user base, advertiser relationships and partnerships. The iHeartRadio master brand ties together our radio stations, digital platforms, social, podcasts and live events in a unified manner that reflects the quality and compelling nature of our listener experiences. Maintaining and enhancing our brand depends on many factors, beyondincluding factors that are not entirely within our control" as set forth below:
To servicecontrol. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our debt obligations and to fund our operations and our capital expenditures,brand or if we require a significant amount of cash to meet our needs, which depends on many factors beyond our control, and management has determined that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for a period within 12 months following November 8, 2017 based on the uncertainty about these factors
To service our debt obligations and to fund our operations and our capital expenditures, we require a significant amount of cash.  Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under iHeartCommunications' domestic receivables-based credit facility, subject to the limitations contained in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements, and cash from liquidity-generating transactions.  As of September 30, 2017, we had $286.4 million of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet, including $222.4 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our subsidiary, CCOH.  As of September 30, 2017, we had a borrowing base of $499.1 million under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility, had $365.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $49.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in $85.0 million of excess availability.  However, any incremental borrowings under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility may be further limited by the terms contained in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements.
During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures.  We adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2016. Under this standard, we are required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating our ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following the date our financial statements were issued (November 8, 2017). Management considered our current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and our conditional and unconditional obligations due before November 8, 2018.
A substantial amount of our cash requirements are for debt service obligations. Our current forecast indicates we will continue to incur net losses and generate negative cash flows from operating activities as a result of our indebtedness and significant related interest expense. At September 30, 2017, the Company had debt maturities totaling $366.9 million, $308.5 million (net of $277.1 million due to certain of our subsidiaries) and $8,368.9 million in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. In October 2017, iHeartCommunications exchanged $45.0 million principal amount of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were held by a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications for $45.0 million principal amount of 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 that were held by unaffiliated third parties. After the exchanges, our debt maturities in the next 12 months include, (i) $365.0 million outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility, which matures on December 24, 2017, (ii) $51.5 million of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, (iii) $175.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018, (iv) $24.8 million of contractual AHYDO catch-up payments to be made on iHeartCommunications' 14% Senior Notes due 2021 on the interest payment due on August 1, 2018.Our forecast includes approximately $1.8 billion in cash interest payments in the next 12 months, of which $344.6 million is payable in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $548.2 million is payable in the first quarter of 2018. In addition, in certain circumstances, a committee of the CCOH board of directors formed for the specific purpose of monitoring the Intercompany Note (the “CCOH Intercompany Note Committee”) has the non-exclusive authority to demand payments under the Intercompany Note, as long as the CCOH board of directors declares a simultaneous dividend equal to the amount so demanded.  As of November 8, 2017, the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee has the right pursuant to the terms of the settlement of the derivative litigation filed by CCOH’s stockholders regarding the Intercompany Note but not the obligation, to make a demand on the Intercompany Note. If the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee exercises this right to demand a full repayment of the Intercompany Note and the CCOH board of directors declares a simultaneous dividend, based on the balance of the Intercompany Note outstanding at September 30, 2017, approximately $110.4 million would be payablesuffer damage to the public stockholdersperception of CCOH. If we are unable to refinance the amounts outstanding under the receivables-based credit facility, the 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, and/or the 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and take other steps to create additional liquidity, forecasted cash flows are not sufficient for us to meet our obligations, including upcoming interest payments and maturitiesbrand, our business may be harmed.
Our business is dependent on our outstanding debt, as they become due inmanagement team and other key individuals.
Our business is dependent upon the ordinary courseperformance of business for a periodour management team and other key individuals. Although we have entered into agreements with members of 12 months following November 8, 2017.
Whileour senior management team and certain other key individuals, we continue to work toward completing the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers or other similar transactions, refinancing the maturity of the receivables-based credit facility and taking other actions to create additional liquidity, there iscan give no assurance that the notes exchange offers and the term loan offersany or other similar transactionsall of them will be completed, that the amounts outstanding under the receivables-based credit facility will be refinancedremain with us, or that we will be able to create additionalextend the terms of our agreements with them. We may also

Competition for these individuals is intense and many of our key employees are at-will employees who are under no obligation to remain with us, and may decide to leave for a variety of personal or other reasons beyond our control. We also experienced management transition in connection with the Separation and Reorganization. For instance, our former treasurer became the Chief Financial Officer of CCOH, and we have a relatively new General Counsel. If members of our management or key individuals decide to leave us in the ordinary coursefuture, if we decide to make further changes to the composition of, or the roles and responsibilities of, these individuals, or if we are not successful in attracting, motivating and retaining other key employees, our business forcould be adversely affected.
Our financial performance may be adversely affected by many factors beyond our control.
Certain factors that could adversely affect our financial performance by, among other things, decreasing overall revenues, the next 12 monthsnumbers of advertising customers, advertising fees or profit margins include:
unfavorable fluctuations in operating costs, which we may be unwilling or unable to pass through to our customers; 
our inability to successfully adopt or our being late in adopting technological changes and innovations that offer more attractive advertising or listening alternatives than what we offer, which could result in a loss of advertising customers or lower advertising rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial performance; 
our inability to realize or maintain cost savings from the Separation or other expense discipline and cost management initiatives; 
the impact of potential new or increased royalties or license fees charged for terrestrial radio broadcasting or the provision of our digital services, which could materially increase our expenses; 
unfavorable shifts in population and other demographics, which may cause us to lose advertising customers as people migrate to markets where we have a smaller presence or which may cause advertisers to be willing to pay less in advertising fees if the general population shifts into a less desirable age or geographical demographic from an advertising perspective; 
continued dislocation of advertising agency operations from new technologies and media buying trends; 
adverse political effects and acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts; and 
unfavorable changes in labor conditions, which may impair our ability to operate or require us to spend more to retain and attract key employees.
Future acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions could pose risks.
We frequently evaluate strategic opportunities both within and outside our existing lines of business. We expect from time to time to pursue acquisitions of certain businesses as well as strategic dispositions. These acquisitions or dispositions could be material. Acquisitions or dispositions involve numerous risks, including:
our acquisitions may prove unprofitable and fail to generate anticipated cash flows: 
to successfully manage our business, we may need to: 
recruit additional senior management as we cannot be assured that senior management of acquired businesses will continue to work for us and we cannot be certain that our recruiting efforts will succeed, and 
expand corporate infrastructure to facilitate the integration of our operations with those of acquired businesses, because failure to do so may cause us to lose the benefits of any expansion that we decide to undertake by leading to disruptions in our ongoing businesses or by distracting our management;
we may enter into markets and geographic areas where we have limited or no experience; 
we may encounter difficulties in the integration of new management teams, operations and systems; 
our management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns; 
our dispositions may negatively impact revenues from our national, regional and other sales networks; and 


our dispositions may make it difficult to generate cash flows from operations sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements, including debt service requirements.
Acquisitions and dispositions of media and entertainment businesses may require antitrust review by U.S. federal antitrust agencies and may require review by foreign antitrust agencies under the antitrust laws of foreign jurisdictions. We can give no assurances that the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") or foreign antitrust agencies will dependnot seek to bar us from acquiring or disposing of media and entertainment businesses or impose stringent undertaking on our business as a condition to the completion of an acquisition in any market where we already have a significant position.
   Further, radio acquisitions are subject to FCC approval. Such transactions must comply with the Communications Act and FCC regulatory requirements and policies, including with respect to the number of broadcast licenses in which a person or entity may have an ownership or attributable interest in a given local market and the level of interest that may be held by foreign individuals or entities. The FCC's media ownership rules remain subject to ongoing agency and court proceedings. Future changes could restrict our ability to achieve forecasted results,dispose of or acquire new radio assets or businesses.
Extensive current government regulation, and future regulation, may limit our radio broadcasting and other operations or adversely affect our business and financial results.
The U.S. Congress (the "Congress") and several federal agencies, including the FCC, extensively regulate the domestic radio broadcasting industry. For example, the FCC could impact our profitability by imposing large fines on us if, in response to pending or future complaints, it finds that we committed violations of FCC regulations governing programming or other matters. For instance, FCC regulations prohibit the broadcast of "obscene" material at any time, and "indecent" material between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The FCC has historically enforced licensee compliance in this area through the assessment of monetary forfeitures. Such forfeitures may include: (i) imposition of the maximum authorized fine for egregious cases ($407,270 for a single violation, up to a maximum of $3,759,410 for a continuing violation); and (ii) imposition of fines on a per utterance basis instead of a single fine for an entire program. The FCC has also recently increased its enforcement of regulations requiring a radio station to include an on-air announcement which identifies the sponsor of all advertisements and other matter broadcast by any radio station for which any money, service or other valuable consideration is received. Similarly, the FCC has recently sought to impose substantial fines on broadcasters who transmit EAS codes, or simulations thereof, in the absence of an actual emergency or authorized test of the EAS.
Additionally, we cannot be sure that the FCC will approve renewal of the licenses we must have in order to operate our stations. Nor can we be assured that our licenses will be renewed without conditions and for a full term. Beginning in June 2019 and continuing through April 2022, we (along with all other FCC radio broadcast licensees) are submitting applications to renew the FCC licenses for each of our broadcast radio stations on an every two-month rolling schedule by state. The non-renewal, or conditioned renewal, of a substantial number of these FCC licenses could have a materially adverse impact on our operations. Furthermore, possible changes in interference protections, spectrum allocations and other technical rules may negatively affect the operation of our stations. For example, in October 2015, the FCC proposed rules which could reduce the degree of interference protection afforded to certain of our AM radio stations that serve wide areas. The FCC has adopted rules which may limit our ability to conserve cash,prevent interference by FM translators to the reception of our abilityfull-power radio stations. In addition, Congress, the FCC and other regulatory agencies have considered, and may in the future consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies that could, directly or indirectly, have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial performance. For example, Congress may consider and adopt legislation that would impose an obligation upon all U.S. broadcasters to refinancepay performing artists a royalty for the amounts outstandingon-air broadcast of their sound recordings (this would be in addition to payments already made by broadcasters to owners of musical work rights, such as songwriters, composers and publishers). In October 2018, legislation was signed into law that creates a public performance right for pre-February 15, 1972 recordings streamed online. This law may increase our licensing costs. Moreover, it is possible that our license fees and negotiating costs associated with obtaining rights to use musical compositions and sound recordings in our programming content could sharply increase as a result of private negotiations, one or more regulatory rate-setting processes, or administrative and court decisions. The Copyright Royalty Board ("CRB") has issued a final determination establishing copyright royalty rates for the public performance and ephemeral reproduction of sound recordings by various non-interactive webcasters, including radio broadcasters that simulcast their terrestrial programming online, to apply to the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 under the receivables-based credit facility,webcasting statutory license. A proceeding to establish the rates for 2021 to 2025 began in 2019. Increased royalty rates could significantly increase our abilityexpenses, which could adversely affect our business. Additionally, there are conditions applicable to successfully complete the notes exchange offerswebcasting statutory license. Some, but not all, record companies have agreed to waive or provide limited relief from certain of these conditions under certain circumstances for set periods of time. Some of these conditions may be inconsistent with customary radio broadcasting practices and various regulatory matters relating to our business are now, or may become, the term loan offerssubject of court litigation, and we cannot predict the outcome of any such litigation or its impact on our business.


If our security measures are breached, we could lose valuable information, suffer disruptions to our business, and incur expenses and liabilities including damages to our relationships with listeners, consumers, business partners, employees and advertisers.
Although we have implemented physical and electronic security measures that are designed to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of our websites, digital assets and proprietary business information as well as listener, consumer, business partner and advertiser personally identifiable information, no security measures are perfect and impenetrable and we may be unable to anticipate or prevent unauthorized access. Our websites and digital platforms are vulnerable to software bugs, computer viruses, Internet worms, break-ins, phishing attacks, attempts to overload servers with denial-of-service, or other attacks and similar transactionsdisruptions from unauthorized use of our and achieve sufficient cash interest savings therefromthird-party computer systems, any of which could lead to system interruptions, delays, or shutdowns, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorized access to personal data. A security breach could occur due to the actions of outside parties, employee error, malfeasance or a combination of these or other actions. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security, and availability of our services and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of our listeners may harm our reputation and our ability to complete other liquidity-generating transactions. Based on the uncertainty of achieving these actionsretain existing listeners and the significance of the forecasted future negative cash flows resulting from our substantial debt balance, including anticipated future interest cash payments (including interest due in the fourth quarter of 2017 and in 2018) and the maturities of the $365.0 million in current borrowings under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility that matures December 24, 2017, the $51.5 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, the $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and the $24.8 million of contractual AHYDO catch-up payments to be made on iHeartCommunications' 14% Senior Notes due 2021 beginning with the interest payment due on August 1, 2018, management has determined that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following November 8, 2017.
If we are unable to complete any of the actions described in the paragraph above, or otherwise generate incremental liquidity, or if there are material adverse developments in our business, results of operations or liquidity, we may be forced to further reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell material assets, seek additional capital or be required to file for bankruptcy court protection.attract new listeners. We cannot assure you that the systems and processes that we have designed to protect our data and our listeners' data, to prevent data loss and to prevent or detect security breaches will provide absolute security, and we may incur significant costs in protecting against or remediating cyber-attacks. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, we may face regulatory or civil liability, lose competitively sensitive business information or suffer disruptions to our business operations, information processes and internal controls. In addition, the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures or services could be harmed, we could lose listeners, consumers, business partners and advertisers. In the event of a security breach, we could suffer financial exposure in connection with penalties, remediation efforts, investigations and legal proceedings and changes in our security and system protection measures. Currently, not all of our systems are fully compliant with the new E.U. GDPR standards and, as a result, we may face additional liability in the event of a security breach. In Europe, we may be required to notify European Data Protection Authorities, within strict time periods, about any personal data breaches, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of the affected individuals. We may also be required to notify the affected individuals of the personal data breach where there is a high risk to their rights and freedoms. If we suffer a personal data breach, we could be fined up to EUR 20 million or 4% of worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is greater. Any data breach by service providers that are acting as data processors (i.e., processing personal data on our behalf) could also mean that we are subject to these fines and have to comply with the notification obligations set out above.
The Separation could result in significant tax liability or other unfavorable tax consequences to us.
The transactions related to the Separation were intended to be taxable transactions. The gain or loss recognized with respect to these transactions will depend on, among other things: (a) the value and tax basis of the assets transferred in the distribution of the radio business and the value and tax basis of the CCOH common stock on the Effective Date (such values will be determined by reference to, among other things, the trading value of the iHeartMedia equity and the CCOH common stock following the Effective Date); (b) complex modeling considerations under certain U.S. Treasury regulations; (c) the amount of cancellation of indebtedness income realized in connection with the iHeartMedia's Chapter 11 proceedings; and (d) the extent to which any "excess loss accounts" (as defined under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations) are taken into account. The extent to which any related taxable gain or loss will result in any cash tax liabilities will depend on whether the tax attributes of iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries, including the net operating losses ("NOLs") of iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries (including CCOH and its subsidiaries), are sufficient to offset any net taxable gain and income attributable to the transactions related to the Separation.
In addition, the merger of CCOH into CCH (the "Merger") was intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the obligation of each of the parties thereto to effect the Merger was conditioned upon the receipt of U.S. federal income tax opinions to that effect from their respective tax counsels. These tax opinions represent the legal judgment of counsel who rendered the opinions and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or the courts. If the IRS makes a subsequent determination that the Merger does not qualify as a "reorganization," then additional tax liability could arise.
Based on our analysis to date of the various factors that will influence whether the Separation resulted in material cash tax liabilities, we do not expect any material cash tax liability resulting from the Separation. However, the analysis of the Separation will continue until the tax return for the 2019 tax year is filed. In addition, there may be some uncertainty with respect to the factors that determine whether the Separation gave rise to cash tax liability, even after appropriate tax returns are filed. Accordingly, we cannot say with certainty that no material cash tax liability will be owed as a result of the Separation and the transactions related thereto. To the extent the Separation and the transactions related thereto do give rise to any cash tax liability, CCOH, iHeartCommunications, iHeartMedia and various other entities would be jointly and severally liable under applicable law for any such amounts.


The allocation of such liabilities among iHeartMedia and its subsidiaries (the "iHeartMedia Group") and CCOH are addressed by a Tax Matters Agreement that was entered into in connection with the Separation.
In addition, we expect that, as a result of the cancellation of indebtedness income realized by the debtors in connection with iHeartMedia's Chapter 11 proceeds, certain of the iHeartMedia Group's tax attributes will be subject to significant reduction or elimination.
Transfers of iHeartMedia's equity in connection with iHeartMedia's Chapter 11 proceedings and cancellation of indebtedness income realized by the debtors in the iHeartMedia Chapter 11 proceedings may impair the iHeartMedia Group's ability to utilize its U.S. federal income tax NOL carryforwards in future years.
Under U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation is generally permitted to deduct from taxable income NOLs carried forward from prior years. To the extent any such tax attributes survive the reduction in tax attributes described above, the iHeartMedia Group's ability to utilize these tax attributes to offset future taxable income and to reduce U.S. federal income tax liability is subject to certain requirements and restrictions. Specifically, iHeartMedia experienced an "ownership change," as defined in Section 382 of the Code, in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings. Accordingly, the iHeartMedia Group's ability to use any surviving tax attributes may be substantially limited, which could have a negative impact on our financial position and results of operations. Under Section 382 of the Code, absent an applicable exception, if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change," the amount of U.S. federal income tax attributes existing prior to the change that it can utilize to offset its taxable income in future taxable years generally is subject to an annual limitation in an amount equal to the value of its stock immediately prior to the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate, subject to adjustments to reflect the differences between the fair market value of the corporation's assets and the tax basis in such assets and various other complex rules and adjustments.
Additionally, as noted above, we expect that certain of the iHeartMedia Group's tax attributes will be subject to significant reduction or elimination as a result of the cancellation of indebtedness income realized by the debtors in connection with iHeartMedia's Chapter 11 proceedings.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the iHeartMedia Group will be able to accomplish anyutilize the iHeartMedia Group's U.S. federal income tax NOL carryforwards or certain of the iHeartMedia Group's other tax attributes to offset future taxable income.
Chapter 11 Reorganization Risks

The following risk factors disclosed under the caption “Chapter 11 Reorganization Risks” below amend, restate and replace all of the risk factors under the caption “Chapter 11 Reorganization Risks” in Item 1A of our Annual Report:

The ongoing effects of the Chapter 11 Cases following our emergence could adversely affect our business and relationships.
We have only recently emerged from bankruptcy. Our ability to change the public perception relating to our recently consummated Chapter 11 Cases may have an impact on our ability to continue to attract our audience, which is critical to our ability to achieve long-term profitability, and a negative public perception of our business due to our recently consummated bankruptcy proceedings may have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, particularly because our ability to achieve long-term profitability depends on our ability to reach our audience.
Furthermore, we may be subject to ongoing claims that were not discharged in the Chapter 11 Cases and such claims may be significant.
Our actual financial results following our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases will not be comparable to our historical financial information.
Following the Separation and Reorganization, we began to operate under a new capital structure. As a result of the Separation and Reorganization, we will not include CCOH in our consolidated financial statements following the Effective Date. In addition, we adopted fresh-start accounting and, as a result, at the Effective Date, our assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value, which resulted in values that are different than the values recorded in our historical financial statements. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations from and after the Effective Date are not comparable to the financial condition or results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements. As a result of all these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all.factors, our historical financial information is not indicative of our future financial performance.
In connection with the cash management arrangementsSeparation, the Outdoor Group agreed to indemnify us and we agreed to indemnify the Outdoor Group for CCOH, iHeartCommunications maintains an intercompany revolving promissory note payable by iHeartCommunicationscertain liabilities. There can be no assurance that the indemnities from the Outdoor Group will be sufficient to CCOH (the "Intercompany Note"), which matures on December 15, 2017. Asinsure us against the full amount of September 30, 2017,such liabilities.


Pursuant to agreements that we entered into with the balanceOutdoor Group in connection with the Separation, the Outdoor Group agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we agreed to indemnify the Outdoor Group for certain liabilities. For example, we will indemnify the Outdoor Group for liabilities to the extent such liabilities related to the business, assets and liabilities of the Note was $1,051.3 million, all of which is payable on demand. While we intendiHeartMedia as well as liabilities relating to extend the maturitya breach of the Intercompany NoteSeparation Agreement. We will also indemnify the Outdoor Group for 50% of certain tax liabilities imposed on the Outdoor Group in connection with the Separation on or prior to its maturity, the principal amount outstanding underthird anniversary of the Intercompany Note is subjectSeparation in excess of $5.0 million, with our aggregate liability limited to demand by CCOH or$15.0 million, and will reimburse the CCOH Intercompany Note Committee. We cannot assure youOutdoor Group for one-third of potential costs relating to certain agreements between the Outdoor Group and third parties in excess of $10.0 million up to the first $35.0 million of such costs such that we will have sufficient cashnot bear more than $8.33 million of such costs. However, third parties might seek to make such a payment if CCOH orhold us responsible for liabilities that the CCOH Independent Note Committee demanded payment ofOutdoor Group agreed to retain, and there can be no assurance that the Intercompany Note in full.
The covenants in iHeartCommunications' senior secured credit facilities include a requirement that we receive an opinion from our auditors in connection with our year-end audit that is not subject to a “going concern” or like qualification or exception. Even if we are able to successfully refinance the amounts outstanding under iHeartCommunications' receivables-based credit facility and manage our liquidity challenges through the end of 2017, if we are unable to improve our liquidity forecast for 2018 and refinance or extend a significant portion of our substantial 2019 debt maturities prior to the completion of the audit of our 2017 financial statements, we anticipate that our auditor’s year-end opinion will contain a “going concern” qualification, and, if we are unable to obtain a waiver of the covenant in the senior secured credit facilities that requires us to deliver an unqualified auditor’s opinion, it will trigger a default under the senior secured credit facilities. We cannot assure you that weOutdoor Group will be able to fully satisfy their respective indemnification obligations under these agreements. In addition, indemnities that we may be required to provide to the Outdoor Group could be significant and could adversely affect our business.
The transition of our board of directors following our emergence from bankruptcy may compromise our ability to compete effectively.
The new directors who began serving on our board of directors on the Effective Date have different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives from those individuals who have historically served on our board of directors and may have different views on the direction of our business and the issues that will determine our future. The effect of implementation of those views may be difficult to predict and may, in the short term, result in disruption to the strategic direction of the business.
Additionally, the ability of our new directors to quickly expand their knowledge of our operations will be critical to their ability to make informed decisions about our business and strategies, particularly given the competitive environment in which we operate. The transition of our board of directors may, during the period of transition, compromise our ability to compete effectively.
Risks Related to Ownership of our Class A Common Stock
The following risk factors disclosed under the caption “Risks Related to Ownership of our Class A Common Stock” below amend, restate and replace all of the risk factors under the caption “Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report:
Our Class A common stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the public offering price.
Volatility in the market price of our Class A common stock may prevent you from being able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them. Many factors, which are outside our control, may cause the market price of our Class A common stock to fluctuate significantly, including those described elsewhere in the “Risk Factors” section, as well as the following:

our operating and financial performance and prospects;
our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry compared to market expectations;
future announcements concerning our business or our competitors’ businesses;
the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;
the composition of our public float, including substantial holdings by former creditors that may wish to dispose of our securities;
coverage by or changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or failure to meet their expectations;
market and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy;
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
changes in laws or regulations which adversely affect our industry or us;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
changes in senior management or key personnel;


issuances, exchanges or sales, or expected issuances, exchanges or sales of our capital stock;
adverse resolution of new or pending litigation against us; and
changes in general market, economic and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from natural disasters, terrorist attacks, acts of war and responses to such events.
These broad market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our Class A common stock is low. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.
Substantial blocks of our outstanding shares may be sold into the market in this offering. If there are substantial sales of shares of our Class A common stock, the price of our Class A common stock could decline.
The price of our Class A common stock could decline if there are substantial sales of our Class A common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders. The market price of the shares of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of the sale of a substantial number of our shares of Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of such shares, or securities convertible or exercisable into such shares, intend to sell their shares or such other securities.
Your voting rights as a holder of Class A common stock will be diluted upon the exercise of Special Warrants or the conversion of Class B common stock.
A majority of our equity was issued in the form of Special Warrants, which have no voting rights, and Class B common stock, which have only limited voting rights. The Special Warrants are currently exercisable into Class A common stock or Class B common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, and the Class B common stock is currently convertible into Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis, in each case subject to certain ownership restrictions. Upon the exercise of any Special Warrants or the conversion of any shares of Class B common stock, your voting rights as a holder of Class A common stock will be proportionately diluted.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our Class A common stock for the foreseeable future.
We currently have no intention to pay dividends on our Class A common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Certain of our debt instruments contain covenants that restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us.
We are a holding company and rely on dividends, distributions and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations.
We are a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of our own. As a holding company, our investments in our operating subsidiaries constitute all of our operating assets. Our subsidiaries conduct all of our consolidated operations and own substantially all of our consolidated assets. As a result, we must rely on dividends and other advances, distributions and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other advances, distributions and transfers of funds will depend on their respective results of operations and may be restricted by, among other things, applicable laws limiting the amount of funds available for payment of dividends and certain restrictive covenants contained in the agreements of those subsidiaries. The deterioration of income from, or other available assets of, our subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay dividends or other distributions to us.
Delaware law and certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation may prevent efforts by our stockholders to change the direction or management of our company.
Our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult without the approval of our Board, including, but not limited to, the following:
for the first three years following the Effective Date, our board of directors will be divided into three equal classes, with members of each class elected in different years for different terms, making it impossible for stockholders to change the composition of our entire Board in any given year;


action by stockholders may only be taken at an annual or special meeting duly called by or at the direction of a majority of our Board;
advance notice for all stockholder proposals is required;
subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding shares of our preferred stock, for so long as our board remains classified, our directors may only be removed for cause and upon the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock; and
for the first three years following the Effective Date, any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of the anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
These and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by our board of directors, including actions to delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. The existence of these provisions could negatively affect the price of our common stock and limit opportunities for you to realize value in a corporate transaction.
Our certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, subject to certain exceptions, as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, subject to certain exceptions, is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the company or any director or officer or employee of the company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or (iv) any other action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation described above. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employee, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our industry, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our industry or our competitors. If we do not maintain adequate research coverage or if any of the analysts who may cover us downgrade our stock, publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or provide relatively more favorable recommendations about our competitors, our stock price could decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports about us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Regulations imposed by the Communications Act and the FCC limit the amount of foreign individuals or entities that may invest in our capital stock.
The Communications Act and FCC regulations restrict foreign ownership or control of any entity licensed to provide broadcast and certain other communications services. Among other prohibitions, foreign entities may not have direct or indirect ownership or voting rights of more than 25 percent in a corporation controlling the licensee of a radio broadcast station if the FCC finds that the public interest will be served by the refusal or revocation of such a license due to foreign ownership or voting rights exceeding that threshold. The FCC has interpreted this provision to mean that it must make an affirmative public interest finding before a broadcast license may be held by a corporation that is more than 25 percent owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by foreign persons or other non-U.S. entities.
We have filed a petition for declaratory ruling (“Declaratory Ruling”) requesting FCC consent to exceed the 25 percent foreign ownership and voting benchmarks that currently apply to us, but we cannot predict whether the FCC will grant a Declaratory


Ruling, the amount of foreign equity and voting rights such a ruling will allow us to have if one is granted, or how long it will take to obtain such a waiverruling.
The FCC calculates foreign voting rights separately from equity ownership, and both must be at or amendment.below the 25 percent threshold unless the FCC has issued a declaratory ruling allowing foreign ownership or voting in excess of that threshold. Warrants and other future interests typically are not taken into account in determining foreign ownership compliance. To the extent that our aggregate foreign ownership or voting percentages would exceed 25 percent, any individual foreign holder of our common stock whose ownership or voting percentage would exceed 5 percent or 10 percent (with the applicable percentage determined pursuant to FCC rules) will additionally be required to obtain the FCC’s specific approval.
Direct or indirect ownership of our securities could result in the violation of the FCC’s media ownership rules by investors with “attributable interests” in other radio stations or in the same market as one or more of our broadcast stations.
Under the FCC’s media ownership rules, a direct or indirect owner of our securities could violate and/or cause us to violate the FCC’s structural media ownership limitations if that person owns or acquires an “attributable” interest in other radio stations in the same market as one or more of our radio stations. Under the FCC’s “attribution” policies the following relationships and interests generally are cognizable for purposes of the substantive media ownership restrictions: (1) ownership of 5 percent or more of a media company’s voting stock (except for “investment companies” as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 80a-3, insurance companies and bank trust departments, whose holdings are subject to a 20 percent voting stock benchmark); (2) officers and directors of a media company and its direct or indirect parent(s); (3) any general partnership or limited liability company manager interest; (4) any limited partnership interest or limited liability company member interest that is not “insulated,” pursuant to FCC-prescribed criteria, from material involvement in the management or operations of the media company; (5) certain same-market time brokerage agreements; (6) certain same-market joint sales agreements; and (7) under the FCC’s “equity/debt plus” standard, otherwise non-attributable equity or debt interests in a media company if the holder’s combined equity and debt interests amount to more than 33 percent of the “total asset value” of the media company and the holder has certain other interests in the media company or in another media property in the same market.
