Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

OUTFRONT Media Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us” or “our”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. and Canada. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets across the U.S. and Canada. We currently manage our operations through three2 operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing.International.

On April 1, 2016,In the third quarter of 2020, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Disposition”“Sports Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising businessSports Marketing operating segment, for a purchase price of approximately $34.6 million in Latin America (see Note 10.

The Sports Marketing operating segment was the Consolidated Financial Statements).marketing and multimedia rights holder for a variety of colleges, universities and other educational institutions across the United States. The operating results of our outdoor advertising business in Latin AmericaSports Marketing operating segment through April 1, 2016,June 30, 2020, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016.Statements.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain reclassifications of prior year’s data have been made to conform to the current period’s presentation. Consistent with 2021, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs previously reported in Amortization have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. The impact of the reclassification is a decrease in Amortization of $11.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, and a corresponding increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2017.26, 2021.

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as ofat the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.conditions, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related preventative measures taken to help curb the spread, have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on the global economy and our business. Given the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, which may be material.

Note 2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Stock Compensation

DuringIn the first quarter of 2017,2021, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB’s”) guidance that simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, includingsimplifying the accounting for income taxes forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well asby removing certain exceptions to the classification in the statementgeneral principles of cash flows. WeAccounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes. The adoption of this guidance did not have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, which we adopted on a modified retrospective basis and resulted in an increase of $0.5 million to Additional paid in capital, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million to Distribution in excess of earningsmaterial effect on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Equity as of September 30, 2017.consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

During the first quarter of 2017, we adopted the FASB’s guidance clarifying the definition of a business for acquisitions and dispositions. The guidance is being applied on a prospective basis. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

During the third quarter of 2017, we adopted the FASB’s guidance clarifying presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is being applied on a retrospective basis. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements

Goodwill

In January 2017,March 2020, the FASB issued guidance simplifyingproviding optional expedients and exceptions for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference to the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair valueLondon Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning afterall entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.31, 2022. We do not expect this guidance to impact our accounting for our existing debt and hedging instruments.

Note 3. Restricted Cash

We have a material effect onan escrow agreement in connection with one of our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance addressing the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standardtransit franchise contracts, which requires lesseesus to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based ondeposit funds into an effective interest method or on a straight line basisescrow account to fund capital expenditures over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. Lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. This guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.

transit franchise contract. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we had approximately 21,600 lease agreementshave $1.6 million of restricted cash deposited in the U.S. and approximately 3,200 lease agreements in Canada, the majority of which will be classified as operating leases under the new guidance. We are currently evaluating our lease contracts and planning for the implementation of this standard. This standard will require us to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for the present value of minimum lease payments for operating leases with a term greater than 12 months and will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our billboard lease revenues will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over their respective lease terms.escrow account.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014 (updated in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016), the FASB issued principles-based guidance addressing revenue recognition issues. The guidance will be applied to all contracts with customers regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. The guidance requires that the amount of revenue a company should recognize reflect the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods and services. This guidance is to be adopted on a full retrospective or modified retrospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Our billboard lease revenues will be recognized under the new lease standard. The revenue recognition guidance will be primarily applicable to our multi-year transit advertising contracts with municipalities in the U.S. and Canada, and marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 13.16. Income Taxes

We are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and, accordingly, we have not provided for U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. We have elected to treat our subsidiaries that participate in certain non-REIT qualifying activities and our foreign subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”).TRSs. As such, we have provided for their federal, state and foreign income taxes.

Tax years 2017 to present are open for examination by the tax authorities.

Our effective income tax rate represents a combined annual effective tax rate for federal, state, local and foreign taxes applied to interim operating results.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, our effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to our REIT status, including the dividends paid deduction, the impact of state and local taxes, and the effect of foreign operations.

Note 15.18. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of operating lease arrangements and guaranteed minimum annual payments. These arrangements result from our normal course of business and represent obligations that are payable over several years.

Contractual Obligations

We have long-term operating leases for office space, billboard sites and equipment, which expire at various dates. Certain leases contain renewal and escalation clauses.

We have agreements with municipalities and transit operators whichthat entitle us to operate advertising displays within their transit systems, including on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, transit shelters, street kiosks, and transit platforms. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchisor is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenues, net of agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment.

We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle usOUTFRONT Media Inc.
Notes to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. Under most of these agreements, the school is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenue, net of agency commissions, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment.Consolidated Financial Statements

On September 27, 2017, the board of directors of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) awarded the Company the transit advertising and communications concession agreement for subway, commuter rail (Metro-North and Long Island Railroad) and buses for a 10-year term, with an additional 5-year extension at our option, subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.
Under the MTA agreement, we will beare obligated to deploy, over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018,(i) 8,565 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 37,716 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 7,829 MTA communications displays, with such deployment amounts being subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA will be entitledMTA. In addition, we are obligated to receivepay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens

displays throughout the transit system. Our currently estimatedAs presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these deployment costs will beare recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchiseMTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assetson our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We expectPosition, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to utilize third party financingreceive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to fundcover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and it is unlikely we will increase our lettersrecoup equipment deployment costs in the remainder of credit2021. In June 2020, we entered into an amendment to the MTA agreement, pursuant to which, (i) for up to $143.0 million of MTA equipment deployment costs to be incurred under the MTA agreement after June 2020, the MTA and the Company will directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, instead of the costs being recoupable from incremental revenues generated under the agreement, and (ii) any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the benefitperiod from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. Our payment obligations with respect to guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA resumed on January 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the MTA from approximately $30.0 millionagreement, as amended. We have engaged, and will continue to $136.0 million,engage, in constructive conversations with the MTA regarding possible modifications to the overall scope and term under the MTA agreement. As of March 31, 2021, 7,645 digital displays had been installed, of which is subject to change as equipment265 installations are completed and revenues are generated.occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2017,26, 2021, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. We currently manage our operations through threetwo operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2)and International.

On April 1, 2016,In the third quarter of 2020, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Disposition”“Sports Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising businessSports Marketing operating segment, for a purchase price of approximately $34.6 million in Latin America. (See Note 10. Acquisitionscash, subject to closing and Dispositions: Dispositions topost-closing adjustments.

The operating results of our outdoor advertising business in Latin AmericaSports Marketing operating segment through April 1, 2016,June 30, 2020, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and are included in Other in our segment reporting.

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. and Canada. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites such as the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York.York, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives, from national, brand-building campaigns to hyper-local campaigns that drive customers to the advertiser’s website or retail location “one mile down the road.” 

UsingIn addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. Geopath, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, we provide advertisers withenables us to build campaigns based on the size and demographic composition of the audience that is exposed to individual displays or a complete campaign.audiences. As part of our ON Smart Mediatechnology platform, we are developing hardware and software solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go. Additionally, our OUTFRONT Mobile Network allowsand social influence add-on products allow our customers to further leverage location targeting with interactive mobile advertising that uses geofence technology to push mobile ads to consumers within a pre-defined radius around a corresponding billboard display or other designated advertising location.and social sharing amplification.

We believe out-of-home advertising continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are ALWAYS ON™, are always viewable and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective “stand-alone” medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign to reach audiences using multiple forms of media,

including television, radio, print, online, mobile and social media advertising platforms. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added

COVID-19 Impact

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the related preventative measures taken to help curb the spread, including shutdowns and slowdowns of, and restrictions on, businesses, public gatherings, social interactions and travel (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences) throughout the markets in which we do business have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on the global economy and our business. Though generally we remain able to continue to sell and service our displays, governmental restrictions have eased in several of our markets and several of our markets have commenced their economic recoveries, our billboard and transit businesses in many of the top DMAs, such as New York and Los Angeles, are still experiencing the significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the nineCOVID-19 pandemic may continue to, among other things, (i) reduce or curtail our customers’ advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services through purchase cancellations or otherwise; (ii) increase the volatility of our customers’ advertising expenditure patterns from period-to-period through short-notice purchases, purchase deferrals or otherwise; and (iii) extend delays in the collection of certain earned advertising revenues from our customers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation in 2021.

As a result of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, we expect our key performance indicators and total revenues to incrementally improve throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020, but be materially lower in 2021 than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, particularly in our U.S. Media segment and with respect to our transit and other business. We expect total expenses to increase throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020, but be materially lower than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, particularly in our U.S. Media segment and with respect to our transit and other business. Additionally, we expect billboard property lease expenses, such as rental expenses, and posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to decrease throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020, but be materially higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We expect transit franchise expenses, such as transit franchise payments, as a percentage of revenues, to increase throughout the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020, and be materially higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, primarily due to our guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA, which resumed on January 1, 2021. The impacts described above with respect to 2020 were greatest in the second quarter of 2020, with incremental improvement in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. Accordingly, results for the three months ended September 30, 2017, Other generated $82.0 millionMarch 31, 2021, are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

Throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized the health and $4.8 millionsafety of Adjusted OIBDA.our employees and customers by (i) shifting to a secure remote workforce for personnel other than operations personnel who service our displays and certain other personnel, (ii) implementing deep cleaning, social distancing and other protective policies and practices in accordance with federal, state and local regulations and guidance across all offices and facilities that are open or in the process of reopening, (iii) restricting non-essential business travel, and (iv) communicating frequently with our employees and customers to address any concerns. None of these actions have caused a significant disruption in our ability to manage the continuity of our business or our internal controls. In addition, in order to preserve financial flexibility, increase liquidity and reduce expenses in light of the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Other generated $90.7 millioncurrent uncertainty in the global economy and our business, we modified our business goals and undertook several actions to date, including, among other things, issuing the Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below) and certain senior unsecured notes; amending the Credit Agreement (as defined below) to modify the calculation of the Company’s financial maintenance covenant ratio under the Credit Agreement; suspending our quarterly dividend payments on our common stock, subject to the minimum annual REIT distribution requirement (which may be satisfied by making distributions to our common stockholders, our

We will continue in 2021 to focus on managing costs and expenses to offset any decreases in revenues in 2021 as compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. However, we have resumed capital investments in a measured manner, including taking a highly selective approach to new acquisition activity, based on our current financial condition. In addition, we have engaged, and will continue to engage, in constructive conversations with our billboard ground lease landlords and transit franchise partners to mitigate any increases as a percentage of revenues in billboard property lease expenses, transit franchise expenses and posting, maintenance and other expenses.

We continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. When the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, there can be no assurances as to the time it may take to generate revenues at pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. There remains uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which will depend on numerous factors, including, among others, the emergence of new cases of COVID-19 or its variants, hospitalization and mortality rates, and the availability and distribution of safe and effective treatments and vaccines. Accordingly, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, which may be material.

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control.control such as the COVID-19 pandemic as described above.

Business Environment

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for both customers structuresand structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms such(such as broadcast and cable television, radio, print media and direct mail marketers.marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters supermarkets and taxis.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our most heavily traffickedprime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging messages, provide our customers with the flexibility both to target audiences by time of day and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print production and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four times more revenue per display on average than traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to threefour times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than traditional static billboard displays. We haveThe majority of our digital billboard displays were converted from traditional static billboard displays.

In 2017, we commenced a large scale deployment of state-of-the-art digital transit displays in 2016.connection with several transit franchises and are planning to increase deployments over the coming years. Once the digital transit displays have been deployed at scale, we expect that revenue generated on digital transit displays will be a multiple of the revenue generated on comparable static transit displays. WeSubject to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we intend to incur significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio.

We have built or converted 1617 new digital billboard displays in the United States and 6 outside of the United StatesU.S. during the three months ended September 30, 2017. ExcludingMarch 31, 2021. Additionally, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, we entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on six third-party digital billboard displays under our multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universitiesin the U.S. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we have built, converted or replaced

Our revenues and profits may fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers cut back onadjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits may also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,March 31, 2021, our largest categories of advertisers were television,professional services, healthcare/pharmaceuticals and retail, and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, each of which represented approximately 10%13%, 7%9% and 7%8% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During each of the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,March 31, 2020, our largest categories of advertisers were television,professional services, computers/internet and retail, and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, each of which represented approximately 8%10%, 8%9% and 7%9% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively.

Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. In the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we generated approximately 45%38% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 47% in the same prior-year period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated approximately 43% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns compared to approximately 46% in the same prior-year period.

Our transit businesses require us to periodically obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain or renew contracts.

Our current transit contract with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) represents 50% of our U.S. Media segment transit and other revenues, or 16% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, in the three months ended September 30, 2017, and represents 53% of our U.S. Media segment transit and other revenues, or 16% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. On September 27, 2017, the board of directors of the MTA awarded the Company the transit advertising and communications concession agreement for subway, commuter rail (Metro-North and Long Island Railroad) and buses for a 10-year term, with an additional 5-year extension at our option, subject to the execution of a definitive agreement. Under the agreement, we will be obligated to deploy over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018, and the MTA will be entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Due to the change in the MTA’s revenue share percentage under the new agreement, we expect our transit franchise operating expenses to decline in year one of the new agreement as compared to prior historical periods, and gradually increase in subsequent years if our revenues increase over an annual base revenue amount. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system. Our currently estimated deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these deployment costs will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the deployment costs, the costs will not be recovered, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We expect to utilize third party financing to fund deployment costs, and will increase our letters of credit for the benefit of the MTA from approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated.


Key Performance Indicators

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.

Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We believe these non-GAAP performance indicators are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Operating income to Adjusted OIBDA, Net income to FFO and AFFO, and Revenues to organic revenues.

Adjusted OIBDA

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation and restructuring charges and loss on real estate assets held for sale.charges. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

FFO and AFFO

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs the non-cash effect of loss on real estate assets held for sale and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and non-controlling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes costs related to restructuring charges and losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, and amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our non-controlling interests, as well as the non-cash portion of income taxes, as well asand the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for

planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served

if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO AFFO, and related per weighted average share amounts,AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO and, as applicable, related per weighted average share amounts, are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., revenues and net income (loss) per common share for diluted earnings per share,revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Revenues

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit and other revenues are recognized as earned over the contract period. For space provided to advertisers through the use of an advertising agency whose commission is calculated based on a stated percentage of gross advertising spending, our(See Note 11.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”).
(b)Revenues on a constant dollar basis are calculated as reported revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates between periods. We provide constant dollar revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods, which are not under management’s direct control. Our management believes constant dollar revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since constant dollar revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Constant dollar revenues, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers cut back onadjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts as well as our marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges and universities, require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid at the beginning of the year.on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.


Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, interestequipment deployment costs and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowing capacityborrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR FacilitySecuritization Facilities (as defined below) or other secured credit facilities that we may establish.establish, to the extent available.

In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire new businesses, assets or digital technology. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions could be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a highly selective approach to new acquisition activity.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment deployment costs. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowing capacityborrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility the AR Facility or other secured credit facilities that we may establish.establish, to the extent available.

Our declineAlthough we have taken several actions to date to preserve our financial flexibility and increase our liquidity, our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability may be adversely affected by the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic if cash on hand and operating cash flows decrease in 2021, and our ability to issue debt and equity securities and/or borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. (See the “Overview—COVID-19 Impact” section of this MD&A.)

The decrease in working capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,as of March 31, 2021, compared to as of December 31, 2020, is due toprimarily driven by lower cash and receivables, partially offset by lower short-term borrowings primarily used to finance the Transactiondebt, accounts payable and due to the change in timing of transit franchise payments to the MTA under the short-term extension of our existing contracts for transit advertising services.accrued expenses.

Under the MTA agreement, we will beare obligated to deploy, over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018,(i) 8,565 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 37,716 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 7,829 MTA communications displays, with such deployment amounts being subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA will be entitledMTA. In addition, we are obligated to receivepay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Due to the change in the MTA’s revenue share percentage under the new agreement, we expect our transit franchise operating expenses to decline in year one of the new agreement as compared to prior historical periods, and gradually increase in subsequent years if our revenues increase over an annual base revenue amount. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screensdisplays throughout the transit system. Our currently estimatedAs presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these deployment costs will beare being recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchiseMTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assetson our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recovered,recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and it is unlikely we will recoup equipment deployment costs in 2021. In June 2020, we entered into an amendment to the MTA agreement, pursuant to which (i) for up to $143.0 million of MTA equipment deployment costs to be incurred under the MTA agreement after June 2020, the MTA and the Company will directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, instead of the costs being recoupable from incremental revenues generated under the agreement, and (ii) any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. Our payment obligations with respect to guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA resumed on January 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the MTA agreement, as amended. We have engaged, and will continue to engage, in constructive conversations with the MTA regarding possible modifications to the overall scope and term under the MTA agreement. While we are engaging in these conversations with the MTA, we have temporarily suspended deployment beginning in the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, for the full year of 2021, we expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $100.0 million. We may utilize third partycash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund equipment deployment costs over the next couple of years. However, given the uncertainty in the market around the severity and will increase our lettersduration of credit for the benefitCOVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of March 31, 2021, we have issued surety bonds in favor of the MTA fromtotaling approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated.

We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to increase in 2021 as compared to 2020, and be materially higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. (See the “Overview—COVID-19 Impact” section of this MD&A.) As indicated in the table below, we incurred $17.4 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in the three months ended March 31, 2021 (which includes equipment deployment costs related to future deployments), for a total of $368.5 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date and as of March 31, 2021, $53.5 million is to be funded by the MTA. As of September 30, 2017, weMarch 31, 2021, 7,645 digital displays had total indebtednessbeen installed, of $2.2 billion.which 265 installations occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Equity

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. No shares were sold under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

Series A Preferred Stock Issuance

On April 20, 2020, we issued 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend and distribution rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears, subject to increases as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, effective as of April 20, 2020 (the “Articles”). Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until April 20, 2028, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-month period. If any dividends or distributions in respect of the shares of our common stock are paid in cash, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in the dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend for such quarter, which amounts will reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and a share cap as set forth in the Articles. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Articles (including a change of control), each of the Company and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may convert or redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at the prices set forth in the Articles, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of operating lease arrangements and guaranteed minimum annual payments. (See Note 15.18. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For accounting policies we consider to be the most critical as they are significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.

For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk related to commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, and to a limited extent, interest rates and credit risks.


Commodity Price Risk

We incur various operating costs that are subject to price risk caused by volatility in underlying commodity values. Commodity price risk is present in electricity costs associated with powering our digital billboard displays and lighting our traditional static billboard displays at night.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk. However, we do enter into contracts with commodity providers to limit our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. For the year ended
45

December 31, 2016,2020, such contracts accounted for 8.9%17.7% of our total utility costs. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we had active electricity purchase agreements with fixed contract rates for locations throughout Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania Ohio and Texas, which expire at various dates in July 2018.through June 2024.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign currency translation risk is the risk that exchange rate gains or losses arise from translating foreign entities’our Canadian business’s statements of earnings and statements of financial position from functional currency to our reporting currency (the U.S. Dollar) for consolidation purposes. Any gain or loss on translation is included within comprehensive income and Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is their respective local currency. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we have $4.1$0.1 million of unrecognized foreign currency translation losses included within Accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Substantially all of our transactions at our foreign subsidiariesCanadian subsidiary are denominated in their local functional currency, thereby reducing our risk of foreign currency transaction gains or losses.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency risk, although we may do so in the future.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we have variable-rate debt outstanding including under the Senior Credit Facilities and the AR Facility.Securitization Facilities.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we had a $670.0$600.0 million variable-rate Term Loan due 20242026 outstanding, which has an interest rate of 3.5%1.9% per year. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in our interest rate on the Term Loan will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $1.7$1.0 million.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $73.0 million ofMarch 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under either the AR Facility or the Repurchase Facility.

We have several interest rate cash flow swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of our LIBOR-based variable rate AR Facility, atdebt to a borrowingfixed rate of approximately 2.2%. An increase or decrease of 1/4% inand hedge our interest rate risk related to such variable rate debt. The fair value of these swap positions was a net unrecognized loss of approximately $4.3 million as of March 31, 2021, and is included in Other liabilitieson the AR Facility will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigateConsolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Credit Risk

In the opinion of our management, credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers and advertising agencies utilized. We perform credit evaluations on our customers and agencies and believe that the allowances for doubtful accountscredit losses are adequate. We have experienced an increase in credit losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and accordingly, we recorded additional provisions for doubtful accounts in 2020. We expect provisions for doubtful accounts to decline in 2021.We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate credit risk.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)

of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report.Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in lawsuits and governmental proceedings and respond to various investigations, inquiries, notices and claims from national, state and local governmental and other authorities (collectively, “litigation”). Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in our opinion, none of our current litigation is expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have disclosed the risk factors affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2017. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed, other than disclosed below.

Implementing our digital display platform, and the deployment of digital advertising displays to our customers, may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits may not be fully realized.

26, 2021. The successimpact of the digital display platform we are currently developing and the deploymentCOVID-19 pandemic described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have heightened certain of digital advertising displays to our customers, such as the MTA, and the realization of any anticipated benefits, will depend, in part, on our ability to finalize and demonstrate the value-added capabilities of our digital display platform and our ability to deliver and install digital displays to our customers in satisfaction of our contractual obligations, including delivery and installation to scale and within complex transit infrastructures. If we fail to satisfy our contractual obligations and/or the digital display platform and/or the digital advertising displays that we provide to our customers do not meet our customers’ expectations or are found to be defective, or if we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits of these products due to reduced market demand for these products or digital advertising generally, then we may incur financial liability and harm our reputation, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Implementing our digital display platform and deploying digital advertising displays to our customers in satisfaction of our contractual obligations requires the Company to incur significant costs, which the Company may not be able to recover from its customers. See “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Any costs currently anticipated may significantly increase if we incur cost overruns due to the increased costs of digital displays, materials and labor, delays in construction caused by us, our subcontractors and/or our customers, and insurance, bonding and litigation expenses or other factors beyond our control, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including cash flow timing and negative publicity. We currently expect to utilize third-party financing to fund a portion of these costs, which could subject the Company to additional costs, liabilities and risks. See “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—Despite our substantial indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.” ofdisclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Further, we rely on third parties to manufacture2020, and transport digital displays, and if wesuch risk factors are not able to engage third parties on reasonable pricing or other terms, duefurther qualified by the information relating to the insufficient capacity of a particular manufacturer, market-wide supply shortages, logistics disruptions or otherwise, or ifCOVID-19 pandemic described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes from the third parties that we engage fail to meet their obligations to us, we may be unable to deploy digital advertising displays to our customers in a timely manner or at all, and may fail to satisfy our contractual obligations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.risk factors previously disclosed.
