Lamar continues to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, employees and the business of our advertisers. In response to the virus’s effect on the overall economy and decreased demand for outdoor advertising we have taken the following measures to reduce our operating costs and increase our liquidity:
| • | | issued $400.0 million in 4 7/8% Senior Notes increasing our total liquidity to $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2020; |
| • | | amended billboard land lease agreements to reduce fixed lease expenses, which, together with reduced revenue share lease expenses due to declines in revenue, resulted in acquisition-adjusted lease expense savings of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019; |
| • | | negotiated temporary franchise fee relief from our transit and airport franchise partners. In conjunction with revenue share reductions due to declines in revenue, total franchise fees decreased by $6.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019; and |
| • | | reduced our workforce by approximately 5% through attrition and selected layoffs. |
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions to alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders.
