Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On November 17, 2017, Entercom Communications Corp. (the “Company” or “Entercom”) completed its previously announced acquisition of the CBS Radio business from CBS pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated February 2, 2017, by and among the Company, CBS Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary CBS Radio Inc. (“CBS Radio”), and Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
As a result of the Merger, the Company would have owned radio stations in seven markets in excess of the limits set forth in the Federal Communications Commission’s (the “FCC”) local radio ownership rule. In order to comply with this FCC rule, and to obtain clearance for the Merger from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the Company agreed to divest a total of nineteen radio stations in such markets, consisting of eight radio stations owned by the Company and eleven radio stations owned by CBS Radio by entering into several binding andnon-binding transactions with third parties in order to dispose of or exchange multiple radio stations in several markets.
One of the required divestiture arrangements included the entry into the local marketing agreements (“LMAs”) with Bonneville International Corporation (“Bonneville”), where on November 1, 2017, the Company assigned assets of eight radio stations to a trust and the trust subsequently entered into two LMAs with Bonneville. The LMAs, which were effective upon the closing of the Merger, allowed Bonneville to operate eight radio stations in the San Francisco and Sacramento, California markets. The LMAs will terminate upon the earlier of: (i) one year after the Merger date; or (ii) consummation of a final agreement to divest the eight radio stations as required under a DOJ consent order agreed to by the Company, as a condition to complete the Merger (the “Entercom Divestitures”). Of the eight radio stations operated by Bonneville, three were originally owned by the Company (the “Entercom Stations”) and the remaining five were originally owned by CBS Radio (the “CBS Radio Stations”).
The eight radio stations were sold on September 21, 2018 for $141.0 million total consideration in cash, net of fees associated with the sale of $1.0 million.
The Company determined that the assets of the eight radio stations under LMA with Bonneville satisfied the criteria to be presented as assets held for sale at June 30, 2018.
Amounts of net revenues, station operating expenses, depreciation and amortization for the periods from November 17, 2017 through December 31, 2017 and from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 (the “LMA Periods”) are not included in Entercom’s consolidated statement of operations. The LMA income earned from Bonneville’s operation of the Entercom’s Stations during the LMA Periods is separately presented as part of net time brokerage agreement income in operating income. The LMA income earned from Bonneville’s operation of the CBS Radio Stations during the LMA Periods is presented as part of income from discontinued operations as the CBS Radio stations were never, and were never expected to be, operated by Entercom.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the planned Entercom Divestitures. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are presented as if the Entercom Station divestiture occurred on January 1, 2017 and CBS Radio Station divestiture occurred upon the Merger or November 17, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the Entercom Divestitures occurred on June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from Entercom’s historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The preparation of unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements requires Entercom’s management to make estimates and assumptions, which are described in the accompanying notes and that affect the amounts reported in such financial statements and the notes thereto. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Entercom Divestitures had been consummated on the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that may be expected for any future period or date. Accordingly, such information should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance, financial condition or liquidity.
