Business Description And Basis Of Presentation Text Block | ' |
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT POLICIES | |
The condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by Entercom Communications Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information; and (ii) the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company's results are subject to seasonal fluctuations and, therefore, the results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. | |
This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014, as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. | |
There have been no material changes from Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, as described in the notes to the Company's financial statements contained in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 that was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014, except as described below. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
The Company does not believe that any recently issued pronouncements, including those listed below, would have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. | |
Netting Of Unrecognized Tax Benefits Against Tax Assets | |
In June 2013, the accounting guidance was modified to require the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in the settlement of uncertain tax positions. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and can be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company's current presentation conforms to this new guidance. | |
Obligations Resulting From Joint And Several Liability Arrangements | |
In February 2013, the accounting guidance was amended for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings, for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendment was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. | |

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure Text Block | ' |
2. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL | |
Goodwill and certain intangible assets are not amortized. The Company accounts for its acquired broadcasting licenses as indefinite-lived intangible assets and, similar to goodwill, these assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment. At the time of each review, if the fair value is less than the carrying value of goodwill and certain intangibles (such as broadcasting licenses), then a charge is recorded to the results of operations. | |
There was no change in the carrying value of broadcasting licenses or goodwill since the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
Broadcasting Licenses Impairment Test | |
The Company performs its annual broadcasting license impairment test during the second quarter of each year by evaluating its broadcasting licenses for impairment at the market level using the direct method. | |
There were no events or circumstances since the Company's prior year's second quarter annual broadcasting licenses test that required the Company to re-test the carrying value of its broadcasting licenses. | |
Goodwill Impairment Test | |
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of each year by evaluating its goodwill for each reporting unit. | |
There were no events or circumstances since the Company's prior year's second quarter annual goodwill test that required the Company to re-test the carrying value of its goodwill. | |
Interim Testing | |
If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the industry or the Company, or if events occur or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of the Company's intangibles below the amount reflected in the balance sheet, then the Company may be required to conduct an interim test and possibly recognize impairment charges, which could be material, in future periods. |

4. LONG-TERM DEBT | ||||||||||
(A) Senior Debt | ||||||||||
The Credit Facility | ||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, the amount outstanding under the term loan component (the “Term B Loan”) of the Company's senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) was $275.0 million. There was no amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility component (the “Revolver”) of the Credit Facility. The maximum available amount of the Revolver, which includes the impact of outstanding letters of credit, was $49.4 million as of March 31, 2014. The amount of the Revolver actually available to the Company is a function of covenant compliance at the time of borrowing. | ||||||||||
On November 23, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a $425 million Credit Facility that was initially comprised of: (a) a $50 million Revolver that matures on November 23, 2016; and (b) a $375 million Term B Loan that matures on November 23, 2018. | ||||||||||
The Term B Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow, as defined within the agreement, subject to incremental step-downs, depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Excess Cash Flow payment is due in the first quarter of each year. An estimate of this payment, net of any prepayments made through March 31, 2014, is included under the current portion of long-term debt. The Company expects to fund the payment using cash from operating activities. | ||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and all other terms of the Credit Facility in all material respects. The Company's ability to maintain compliance with its covenants is highly dependent on its results of operations. Management believes that over the next 12 months the Company can continue to maintain compliance. The Company's operating cash flow is positive, and management believes that it is adequate to fund the Company's operating needs. The Company has not been required to rely upon, and the Company does not anticipate being required to rely upon, the Revolver to fund its operations. Management believes that cash on hand and cash from operating activities, together with available borrowings under the Revolver, will be sufficient to permit the Company to meet its liquidity requirements over the next 12 months, including its debt repayments. | ||||||||||
Failure to comply with the Company's financial covenants or other terms of its Credit Facility and any subsequent failure to negotiate and obtain any required relief from its lenders could result in a default under the Company's Credit Facility. Any event of default could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition. In addition, a default under either the Company's Credit Facility or the indenture governing the Company's 10.5% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) could cause a cross default in the other and result in the acceleration of the maturity of all outstanding debt. The acceleration of the Company's debt could have a material adverse effect on its business. The Company may seek from time to time to amend its Credit Facility or obtain other funding or additional funding, which may result in higher interest rates on its debt. | ||||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 4.6 times versus a covenant limit of 6.25 times and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 2.8 times versus a covenant minimum of 1.6 times. These covenants become more restrictive over time. | ||||||||||
(B) Senior Unsecured Debt | ||||||||||
The Senior Notes | ||||||||||
Simultaneously with entering into the Credit Facility on November 23, 2011, the Company issued $220 million of 10.5% unsecured Senior Notes, which mature on December 1, 2019. The Company received net proceeds of $212.7 million, which included a discount of $2.9 million, and incurred deferred financing costs of $6.1 million. These amounts are amortized over the term under the effective interest rate method. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. | ||||||||||

RSUs With Service And Market Conditions | |||||||||||||||||
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued RSUs with service and market conditions. These shares vest if: (1) the Company's stock achieves certain shareholder performance targets over a defined measurement period; and (2) the employee fulfills a minimum service period. The compensation expense is recognized even if the market conditions are not satisfied and are only reversed in the event the service period is not met. These RSUs, which are included in the RSU activity table, are amortized over the longest of the explicit, implicit or derived service periods, which is one to two years, as all of the conditions need to be satisfied. | |||||||||||||||||

Valuation Of RSUs With Service And Market Conditions | |||||||||||||||||
The fair value of RSUs with service conditions is estimated based on the market value stock price on the date of the grant. To determine the fair value of RSUs with service and market conditions, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation lattice model. The Company's determination of the fair value was based on the number of shares granted, the Company's stock price on the date of grant and certain assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. If other reasonable assumptions were used, the results could differ. | |||||||||||||||||
The specific assumptions used for this valuation are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

Risk Free Interest Rate (2) | 0.1% to 0.4% | ||||||||||||||||
Expected Dividend Yield (3) | 0.00% | ||||||||||||||||
Expected Volatility Term Structure - The Company estimated the volatility term structure using: (1) the historical volatility of its stock; and (2) the implied volatility provided by its traded options from a trailing month's average of the closing bid-ask price quotes. | |||||||||||||||||
Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company estimated the risk-free interest rate based upon the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues using Treasury bond rate as of the date of grant. | |||||||||||||||||
Expected Dividend Yield - The Company calculated the expected dividend yield at the time of grant based upon the Company's most recent history and the Company's stock price on the date of grant. | |||||||||||||||||

Tax Rate For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 | |
The effective income tax rate was 34.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which was less than expected primarily due to a discrete tax benefit from legislatively reduced income tax rates in certain states. This rate decrease was offset by an adjustment for expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes and an increase in net deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as broadcasting licenses and goodwill. | |
Tax Rate For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 | |
The effective income tax rate was 176.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which was impacted by discrete items arising during the period, primarily related to a tax benefit shortfall associated with share-based awards. The impact of discrete items to the income tax rate is typically substantially greater in the first quarter of the year as income before taxes is the lowest as compared to subsequent quarters. | |
Net Deferred Tax Assets And Liabilities | |
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, net deferred tax liabilities were $42.1 million and $41.4 million, respectively. The income tax accounting process to determine the deferred tax liabilities involves estimating all temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company estimated the current exposure by assessing the temporary differences and computing the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated effective tax rate to income. |

(1) The Company's determination of the fair value of the Credit Facility was based on quoted prices for this instrument and is considered a Level 2 measurement. | |||||||||||||
(2) The Company utilizes a Level 2 valuation input based upon the market trading prices of the Senior Notes to compute the fair value as these Senior Notes are traded in the debt securities market. | |||||||||||||
(3) The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair value of the outstanding standby letters of credit and does not expect any material loss since the performance of the letters of credit are not likely to be required. | |||||||||||||
