Description of the Business and
Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2020 | |
Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Business Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating approximately 153,200 billboard advertising displays in 45 states and Canada. The Company’s operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it serves. In addition, the Company operates a logo sign business in 23 states throughout the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada and operates approximately 47,700 transit advertising displays in 22 states and Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded service contracts on public rights-of-way near highway exits and deliver brand name information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. Included in the Company’s logo sign business are tourism signing contracts. The Company provides transit advertising in airport terminals, on bus shelters, benches and buses in the markets it serves. The Company operates as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income and gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders, including the income derived from advertising rental revenue. However, even as a REIT, the Company will remain obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from the assets of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the related government-imposed restrictions and social distancing measures have had an adverse effect on the demand for out-of-home advertising. As a result, demand for billboard, transit and airport advertising has declined, which has negatively affected the Company’s revenues and financial position for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have implemented measures to mitigate the impact on the Company’s financial position, which include: maintaining substantial liquidity and strengthening our debt maturity schedule (see Note 9 Long-term Debt (b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Lamar Advertising Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp. (Lamar Media), and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. An operating segment is a component of an enterprise: • that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; • whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and • for which discrete financial information is available. We define the term ‘chief operating decision maker’ to be our executive management group, which consist of our Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. Currently, all operations are reviewed on a consolidated basis for budget and business plan performance by our executive management group. Additionally, operational performance at the end of each reporting period is viewed in the aggregate by our management group. Any decisions related to changes in invested capital, personnel, operational improvement or training, or to allocate other company resources are made based on the combined results. We operate in a single operating and reporting segment, advertising. We rent advertising space on billboards, buses, shelters, benches, logo plates and in airport terminals. (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. (d) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company designated December 31 as the date of its annual goodwill impairment test. The Company is required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit. The Company has identified two reporting units, Billboard operations and Logo operations, by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company is required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would be required to book an impairment loss. The Company conducts a qualitative assessment by examining relevant events and circumstances which could have a negative impact on the Company’s goodwill, which includes macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, reporting unit dispositions and acquisitions, the market capitalization of the Company and other relevant events specific to the Company. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances described above, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of either of the Company's reporting units is less than its carrying amount, the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test. If industry and economic conditions deteriorate, the Company may be required to assess goodwill impairment before the next annual test, which could result in impairment charges. The Company performed its annual measurement for impairment of the goodwill of its reporting units and concluded the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test date on December 31, 2020 and 2019; therefore, the Company was not required to recognize an impairment loss. Intangible assets, consisting primarily of site locations, customer lists and contracts, and non-competition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives, generally from 2 to 15 years. (e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, lease right of use assets and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group before interest expense. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. (f) Acquisitions The Company accounts for transactions that meet the definition of a business and group asset purchases as acquisitions. For transactions that meet the definition of a business combination, the Company allocates the purchase price, including any contingent consideration, to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The determination of the final purchase price and the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed may extend over more than one period and result in adjustments to the preliminary estimate recognized in the prior period financial statements For transactions that meet the definition of asset group purchases, the Company proportionally allocates the purchase price to the assets based on relative fair value acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. If a transaction is determined to be a group of assets, any direct acquisition costs are capitalized. Transaction costs for transactions determined to be a business combination are expensed as incurred. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically determined by using either estimates of replacement costs or discounted cash flow valuation methods. When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the cost to replace the asset with a new asset, adjusted for an estimated reduction in fair value due to age of the asset, and the economic useful life. When determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the applicable discount rate and the timing and amount of future cash flows. (g) Lease Liabilities On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases The Company is party to various operating leases for production facilities, vehicles and sites upon which advertising structures are built, including our billboard land leases, leases of logo structures and leases of transit advertising space. The leases expire at various dates, have varying options to renew and cancel, and may contain escalation provisions. We expense our non-variable lease payments ratably over the lease term. Also, certain of our leases contain variable lease payments based on percentage of revenue or consumer price index or other inflation-based indices. The variable lease costs are expensed in the period incurred. Financing lease right of use assets are amortized over the life of the lease which is recorded in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Interest related to financing lease liabilities is recorded in interest expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The key estimates for our leases include (1) the discount rate used to discount the unpaid lease payment to present value and (2) lease term. Our leases generally do not include a readily determinable implicit rate, therefore, using a portfolio approach, we determine our collateralized incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payment based on the information available at lease commencement. Our lease terms include the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. The Company has determined we are not reasonably certain to exercise renewals or termination options, and as a result we use the lease’s initial stated term as the lease term for our lease population. (h) Deferred Income Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income over the term of the contract. (i) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon satisfaction of its performance obligation. The Company engages in barter transactions where the Company trades advertising space for goods and services. The Company recognizes revenues and expenses from barter transactions at fair value, which is determined based on the Company’s own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising space from buyers unrelated to the party in the barter transaction. The amount of revenue and expense recognized for advertising barter transactions is as follows: 2020 2019 2018 Net revenues $ 8,088 $ 9,636 $ 8,955 Direct advertising expenses $ 3,971 $ 3,982 $ 3,633 General and administrative expenses $ 3,144 $ 4,986 $ 4,758 (j) Income Taxes As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income taxes on income and gains distributed to the Company’s stockholders. However, the Company remains obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from domestic TRSs. In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or where those operations are conducted, including those designated as Qualified REIT Subsidiaries, or QRSs, for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect provisions for federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (k) Dividends/Distributions As a REIT, the Company must annually distribute to its stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company declared and paid distributions of its REIT taxable income of $251,944 or $2.50 per share and $384,817 or $3.84 per share, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash distributions of its REIT taxable income in an aggregate amount of $442,632 or $4.48 per share. The distributions paid during 2018 include distributions declared and accrued as of December 31, 2017 of $81,534 or $0.83 per share. The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including the financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in its existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its TRSs and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock of $365 or $63.80 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount of $456 or $79.75 per share, including $91, or $15.95 per share, related to distributions accrued for in 2017. (l) Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 there were no dilutive shares excluded from the calculation. (m) Stock Based Compensation Compensation expense for share-based awards is recognized based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which generally commensurates with the vesting term. Non-cash compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were $18,772, $29,647 and $29,443, respectively. The $18,772 expensed during the year ended December 31, 2020 consists of (i) $4,249 related to stock options and the employee stock purchase plan, (ii) $12,602 related to stock grants made under the Company’s performance-based stock incentive program in 2020, (iii) $1,451 related to non-performance restricted stock awards and (iv) $470 related to restricted stock awards to directors. See Note 15 for information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation. (n) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (o) Credit Losses The Company estimates credit losses on financial instruments based on amounts expected to be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical collections, accounts receivable aging, economic indicators, and expected future trends. (p) Foreign Currency Translation Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and as a component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. (q) Asset Retirement Obligations The Company is required to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its leased properties. (r) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (s) Comprehensive Income Total comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and the components of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of foreign currency translation effects. (t) Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. (u) Subsequent Events The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which the financial statements are issued. |
LAMAR MEDIA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES [Member] | |
Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Business Lamar Media Corp. (“Lamar Media”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company. Lamar Media is engaged in the outdoor advertising business operating approximately 153,200 outdoor advertising displays in 45 states and Canada. Lamar Media’s operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it serves.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenues | (2) Revenue On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Codified as ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases A majority of our billboard, logo, and transit space contracts were accounted for under ASC 840 and continued to be accounted for under the topic until January 1, 2019, our adoption date of ASU No. 2016-02 (Codified as ASC 842), Leases Revenue Due to the transition of our advertising space contracts into ASC 606 we are now required to capitalize our costs to fulfill a contract and expense the costs over the contract period. These costs include our costs to install advertising copy onto billboards. These costs were expensed as incurred under ASC 840. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we capitalized $22,698 and $24,920, respectively, of costs to fulfill a contract which is included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of expensed costs of $23,085 and $15,734, respectively. The expensed costs are recorded in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Revenue Recognition Advertising revenues : The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard, logo and transit displays and were accounted for under ASC 840, prior to January 1, 2019. Upon the Company’s adoption of ASC 842, on January 1, 2019 the majority of our contracts for advertising space transitioned to being accounted for under ASC 606, The contract revenues, under both ASC 840, and ASC 606, , are recognized ratably over their contract life. Other revenues: Our other component of revenue primarily consists of production services which includes creating and printing the advertising copy. Revenue for production contracts are recognized under ASC 606, . Contract revenues for production services are recognized upon satisfaction of the contract which is typically less than one week. Arrangements with multiple performance obligations: Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using expected cost plus margin. Deferred revenues: We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is not significant. For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer. The balance of deferred income is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within twelve months. Practical expedients and exemptions: Upon our transition to ASC 606 from ASC 840, the Company utilized the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC 606. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct advertising expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than one year.

Acquisitions | (3) Acquisitions Year Ended December 31, 2020 During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $46,160, of which $45,584 was in cash and $576 in non-cash consideration. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition purchase price has been proportionally allocated to assets based on relative fair value acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price in the above transactions. Total Property, plant and equipment $ 13,376 Site locations 27,902 Non-competition agreements 140 Customer lists and contracts 3,979 Asset acquisition costs 154 Current assets 3 Current liabilities (295 ) Operating right of use assets 7,269 Operating lease liabilities (6,368 ) $ 46,160 The total amount of acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $3,979 (7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $27,902 (15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2020 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $1,356. Year Ended December 31, 2019 During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $226,278, net of acquired cash of $1,508. This amount includes $227,588 of outdoor advertising assets purchased in 2019, offset by $1,310 in post-closing adjustments to acquired working capital related to the purchase of Fairway Outdoor Advertising (“Fairway”) in 2018. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price in the above transactions, which includes the final fair value allocation of the asset acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination completed on July 15, 2019, for an aggregate purchase price of $127,000. Total Property, plant and equipment $ 37,988 Site locations 131,208 Non-competition agreements 240 Customer lists and contracts 23,032 Asset acquisition costs 756 Other intangibles 3,115 Goodwill 29,360 Current assets 1,860 Current liabilities (832 ) Operating right of use assets 23,934 Operating lease liabilities (21,573 ) Other liabilities (1,500 ) $ 227,588 Total acquired intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $187,711, of which $29,360 was assigned to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized for financial statement purposes, and no goodwill related to 2019 acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The remaining $158,351 of acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $23,032 (7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $ 131,208 ( 15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2019 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $ 7,570 . As of December 31, 2019, we finalized our fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Fairway on December 21, 2018. Our updated fair value allocation of Fairway during 2019 includes property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill of $96,840, $188,400 and $145,534, respectively. During the period ended December 31, 2019, goodwill was adjusted $36,583 due to updates from the original preliminary purchase price allocation provided as of December 31, 2018. The updated allocation resulted in prior and current period changes to depreciation and amortization. These changes were considered immaterial and recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, assets purchased from Fairway, which were initially placed into our taxable REIT subsidiary, were transferred to our qualifying REIT subsidiary. As a result, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $17,031 in deferred tax liabilities assumed from our purchase. The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the Company gives effect to the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2018. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the acquisitions occurred on such date or to project the Company’s results of operations for any future period. 2019 2018 (unaudited) Net revenues $ 1,764,493 $ 1,724,821 Net income applicable to common stock $ 369,300 $ 292,012 Net income per common share — basic $ 3.69 $ 2.96 Net income per common share — diluted $ 3.68 $ 2.95 |

Leases
Leases | 12 Months Ended |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | (7) Leases On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases also elected the package of practical expedients, which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We also elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, which allows the Company not to reassess its accounting treatment for our previously existing land easements as to whether they qualify as a lease under ASC 842. The Company is party to various operating leases for production facilities, vehicles and sites upon which advertising structures are built, including our billboard land leases, leases of logo structures and leases of transit advertising space. The leases expire at various dates, have varying options to renew and cancel, and may contain escalation provisions. We expense our non-variable lease payments ratably over the lease term. Also, certain of our leases contain variable lease payments based on percentage of revenue or consumer price index or other inflation-based indices. The variable lease costs are expensed in the period incurred. Due to our election not to reassess conclusions about lease identification, as noted above, our transit agreements were accounted for as leases on January 1, 2019. As we enter into new or renew current transit agreements, those agreements will not likely meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842, therefore they will no longer be accounted for as a lease. Financing lease right of use assets are amortized over the life of the lease which is recorded in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Interest related to financing lease liabilities is recorded in interest expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The key estimates for our leases include (1) the discount rate used to discount the unpaid lease payment to present value and (2) lease term. Our leases generally do not include a readily determinable implicit rate, therefore, using a portfolio approach, we determine our collateralized incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payment based on the information available at lease commencement. Our lease terms include the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. The Company has determined we are not reasonably certain to exercise renewals or termination options, and as a result we use the lease’s initial stated term as the lease term for our lease population. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we had base operating lease costs of $298,135 and variable operating lease costs of $69,242, for a total operating lease cost of $367,377. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we had base operating lease costs of $312,883 and variable operating lease costs of $76,492, for a total operating lease cost of $389,375. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we had total operating lease costs of $381,890. Our operating lease costs are recorded in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Also, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a gain of $451 and $4,061, respectively, in (gain) loss of disposition of assets related to the amendment and termination of lease agreements. Cash payments of $286,575 and $316,527 were made reducing our operating lease liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in cash flows provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We elected the short-term lease exemption which applies to certain of our vehicle agreements. This election allows the Company to not recognize lease right of use assets or lease liabilities for agreements with a term of twelve months or less. We recorded $4,953 and $4,691 in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for these agreements during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our operating leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 11.8 years. The weighted-average discount rate of our operating leases is 4.7%. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we obtained $25,264 of leased assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities, which includes liabilities obtained through acquisitions. Lease terminations during the year resulted in a $23,173 reduction to operating lease liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The following is a summary of the maturities of our operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020: 2021 $ 228,135 2022 182,214 2023 162,163 2024 145,750 2025 122,384 Thereafter 757,576 Total undiscounted operating lease payments 1,598,222 Less: Imputed interest (409,007 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 1,189,215 During the year ended December 31, 2020, we obtained $19,891 of leased assets in exchange for new financing lease liabilities. We had no financing lease liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our financing leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 6.9 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 3.1%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, amortization expense of $222 was recorded within depreciation and amortization and interest expense of $47 was recorded within interest expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in relation to these financing lease liabilities. |

The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017, as amended (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The new senior credit facility, as established by the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “senior credit facility”), consists of (i) a new $750,000 senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on February 6, 2025 (the “revolving credit facility”), (ii) a new $600,000 Term B loan facility (the “Term B loans”) which will mature on February 6, 2027, and (iii) an incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”) pursuant to which Lamar Media may incur additional term loan tranches or increase its revolving credit facility subject to a pro forma secured debt ratio of 4.50 to 1.00, as well as certain other conditions including lender approval. Lamar Media borrowed all $600,000 in Term B loans on February 6, 2020. The entire amount of the Term B loans will be payable at maturity. The net proceeds from the Term B loans, together with borrowing under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility and a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the 3 3/4 The Term B loans mature on February 6, 2027 with no required amortization payments. The Term B loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar Term B loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50%. Base Rate Term B loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50%. The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.25% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.25% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term B loans and revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $13,970 in letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2020 resulting in $736,030 of availability under its revolving credit facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on February 6, 2025. The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to: • dispose of assets; • incur or repay debt; • create liens; • make investments; and • pay dividends. The senior credit facility contains provisions that allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that allows Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions. Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility, the Company must maintain a specified secured debt ratio as long as a revolving credit commitment, revolving loan or letter of credit remains outstanding, and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments. Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the senior credit facility provisions during the periods presented. Accounts Receivable Securitization Program On December 18, 2018, Lamar Media entered into a $175,000 Receivable Financing Agreement (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Program”) with its wholly-owned special purpose entities, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”) maturing on December 17, 2021. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Pursuant to two separate Purchase and Sale Agreements dated December 18, 2018, each of which is among Lamar Media as initial Servicer, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries and a Special Purpose Subsidiary, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the Special Purpose Subsidiaries. The Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program . Lamar Media retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and provides a performance guaranty. On June 30, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement dated December 18, 2018. The Third Amendment increases the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio, Dilution Ratio and Days’ Sales Outstanding to 11.00% (from 8.00%), 7.00% (from 4.00%) and 75 days (from 65 days), respectively, for each of the months of June, July and August 2020. The Third Amendment does not modify any other financial covenant. Additionally, the Third Amendment establishes a new Minimum Funding Threshold, which requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries had the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election. On October 23, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement dated December 18, 2018. The Fourth Amendment increases the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio generally to 13.00% (and up to 16.00% for up to two additional periods upon written notice from Lamar Media), and increases the maximum three month average Dilution Ratio to 5.00% for the remaining term of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment increases the Minimum Funding Threshold which, as amended, requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 70.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries had the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election. As of December 31, 2020 there was $122,500 outstanding aggregate borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media had an additional $52,500 available for borrowing under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of December 31, 2020. The commitment fees based on the amount of unused commitments under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program were immaterial during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program will mature on December 17, 2021. Lamar Media may amend the facility to extend the maturity date, enter into a new securitization facility with a different maturity date, or refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program using borrowings under its senior credit facility or from other financing sources. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged accounts receivable and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 5% Senior Subordinated Notes On October 30, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $535,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “5% Notes”).

These redemptions were funded using cash on hand, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and proceeds from the additional 4% Senior Notes issued on August 19, 2020. These redemptions combined resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $7,051, of which $4,456 was cash, for the year ended December 31, 2020. 5 3/8% Senior Notes On January 10, 2014, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $510,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8 5 3/4% Senior Notes On January 28, 2016, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/4 On February 1, 2019, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of an additional $250,000 aggregate principal amount under its 5 3/4 the At any time prior to February 1, 2021, Lamar Media may redeem some or all of the 5 3/4% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus a make-whole premium.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | (12) Income Taxes Commencing January 1, 2014, the Company began operating as a REIT for U.S. income tax purposes. Since operating as a REIT, the Company filed, and intends to continue to file, as a REIT, and its TRSs filed, and intend to continue to file, as C corporations. The Company also files tax returns in various states and countries. The Company’s state tax returns reflect different combinations of the Company’s subsidiaries and are dependent on the connection each subsidiary has with a particular state. The following information pertains to the Company’s income taxes on a consolidated basis. Income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following: Current Deferred Total Year ended December 31, 2020: U.S. federal $ 2,997 $ (45 ) $ 2,952 State and local 1,940 311 2,251 Foreign 520 (1,063 ) (543 ) $ 5,457 $ (797 ) $ 4,660 Year ended December 31, 2019: U.S. federal $ 6,045 $ (13,450 ) $ (7,405 ) State and local 2,699 (2,654 ) 45 Foreign 1,164 1,974 3,138 $ 9,908 $ (14,130 ) $ (4,222 ) Year ended December 31, 2018: U.S. federal $ 4,952 $ 435 $ 5,387 State and local 2,615 (123 ) 2,492 Foreign 1,592 1,226 2,818 $ 9,159 $ 1,538 $ 10,697 As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had income taxes payable of $4,707 and $384, respectively. The U.S. and foreign components of earnings before income taxes are as follows: 2020 2019 2018 U.S. $ 249,714 $ 357,445 $ 317,695 Foreign (1,668 ) 10,444 (1,766 ) Total $ 248,046 $ 367,889 $ 315,929 A reconciliation of significant differences between the reported amount of income tax expense and the expected amount of income tax expense that would result from applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent to income before taxes for the 2020, 2019 and 2018 tax years is as follows: 2020 2019 2018 Income tax expense at U.S. federal statutory rate $ 52,090 $ 77,257 $ 66,345 Tax adjustment related to REIT (a) (50,395 ) (70,619 ) (63,669 ) State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 1,222 2,039 1,461 Book expenses not deductible for tax purposes 3,156 4,144 1,926 Stock-based compensation (2,033 ) (1,177 ) 1,090 Valuation allowance (b) (1,031 ) (1,032 ) 3,813 Rate change (c) (182 ) — (80 ) Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (d) (78 ) (102 ) (393 ) Deferred tax adjustment due to REIT conversion (e) — (17,031 ) — Other differences, net 1,911 2,299 204 Income tax expense (benefit) $ 4,660 $ (4,222 ) $ 10,697 (a) Includes dividend paid deduction of $52,985, $76,688 and $69,818 for the tax years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. (b) For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, a non-cash valuation allowance of $(1,031), $(1,032) and $3,813, respectively, was recorded to income tax expense due to our limited ability to utilize Puerto Rico deferred tax assets in future years. (c) Under Act 257 , the Puerto Rico corporate income tax rate was lowered from % to 37.5 %. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $ 182 to income tax expense was recorded for the reduction of the Puerto Rico net deferred tax liability for the year ended December 31, 20 20 . (d) Management does not assert that the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $78, $102 and $393, respectively, for future foreign withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings. (e ) The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are presented below: 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 328 $ 499 Accrued liabilities not deducted for tax purposes 3,358 3,431 Net operating loss carry forwards 18,803 19,522 Tax credit carry forwards 693 1,140 Charitable contributions carry forward 4 5 Investment in partnerships 367 382 Gross deferred tax assets 23,553 24,979 Less: valuation allowance (20,997 ) (22,902 ) Net deferred tax assets 2,556 2,077 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangibles (5,443 ) (5,898 ) Property, plant and equipment (911 ) (701 ) Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (1,056 ) (1,191 ) Gross deferred tax liabilities (7,410 ) (7,790 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (4,854 ) $ (5,713 ) As of December 31, 2020, we have approximately $236,584 of U.S. net operating loss carry forwards to offset future taxable income. Of this amount, $38,250 is subject to Internal Revenue Code §382 limitation but will be available to be fully utilized by no later than 2027. These carry forwards expire between 2027 through 2037. In addition, we have $1,205 of various credits available to offset future U.S. federal income tax. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), the corporate alternative minimum tax was repealed and our minimum tax credit carryforwards of $2,054 were fully refunded in 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we have approximately $991,054 of state net operating loss carry forwards before valuation allowances. These state net operating losses are available to reduce future taxable income and expire at various times and amounts. In addition, we have $117 of various credits available to offset future state income tax. The valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $321 and $0, respectively. The net changes in the total state valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was an increase of $320 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $44,207 of Puerto Rico net operating loss carry forwards before valuation allowances. These Puerto Rico net operating losses are available to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2021 and 2029. In addition, we have $179 of alternative minimum tax credits available to offset future Puerto Rico income tax. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those jurisdictions during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate future taxable income before the expiration of the carry forwards governed by the tax code. Based on the current level of pretax earnings, the Company will not generate the minimum amount of future taxable income to support the realization of the deferred tax assets. As a result, management has determined that a valuation allowance related to Puerto Rico net operating loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets is necessary. The valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets as of December 31, 20 20 and 201 9 was $ 20,676 and $ , respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 20 20 and 201 9 was a decrease of $ 2,226 and $ 1,032 , respectively. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period increase. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries of approximately $21,126. Management does not designate these earnings as permanently reinvested and has recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $1,056 related to foreign withholding taxes on these earnings. We have recognized a current year tax benefit of $152 related to 2020 earnings. Under ASC 740 Income Taxes Balance as of December 31, 2018 $ 3,207 Additions for tax positions related to current year 974 Additions for tax positions related to prior years 386 Reductions for tax positions related to prior years — Lapse of statute of limitations (117 ) Settlements — Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 4,450 Additions for tax positions related to current year 862 Additions for tax positions related to prior years 667 Reductions for tax positions related to prior years — Lapse of statute of limitations (1,013 ) Settlements — Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 4,966 Included in the balance of unrecognized benefits at December 31, 2020 is $4,966 of tax benefits that, if recognized in future periods, would impact our effective tax rate. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized interest and penalties of $173 and $334, respectively, as a component of income tax expense in connection with our liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Within the next twelve months, we expect to decrease our unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $1,340 as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and nearly all states. In addition, the Company is subject to income taxes in Canada and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. We are no longer subject to U.S federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2017, or for any U.S. state income tax audit prior to 2014. With respect to Canada and Puerto Rico, we are no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2017 and 2016, respectively. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | (14) Stockholders’ Equity On July 16, 1999, the Board of Directors designated 5,720 shares of the 1,000,000 shares of previously undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001, as Series AA preferred stock, which shares were subsequently exchanged on a one for one basis in the REIT conversion. The Series AA preferred stock ranks senior to the Class A common stock and Class B common stock with respect to dividends and upon liquidation. Holders of Series AA preferred stock are entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, dividends at the rate of $15.95 per share per quarter when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. The Series AA preferred stock is entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, $638 plus a further amount equal to any dividend accrued and unpaid to the date of distribution before any payments are made or assets distributed to the Class A common stock or Class B stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The liquidation value of the outstanding Series AA preferred stock at December 31, 2020 was $3,649. The Series AA preferred stock is entitled to one vote per share. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, following any required distribution to the holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to share pro rata in any balance of the corporate assets available for distribution to them. The Company may pay dividends if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Company’s existing indentures and the senior credit facility. Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class of preferred stock, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. No dividend may be declared or paid in cash or property on any share of either class of common stock unless simultaneously the same dividend is declared or paid on each share of the other class of common stock, provided that, in the event of stock dividends, holders of a specific class of common stock shall be entitled to receive only additional shares of such class. The rights of the Class A and Class B common stock are equal in all respects, except holders of Class B common stock have ten votes per share on all matters in which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote and holders of Class A common stock have one vote per share on such matters. The Class B common stock will convert automatically into Class A common stock upon the sale or transfer to persons other than permitted transferees (as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended). On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as its sales agents (each a “Sales Agent”, and collectively, the “Sales Agents”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000, through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals. As of December 31, 2020, 842,412 shares of our Class A Common Stock have been sold under the Sales Agreement and accordingly $336,668 remains available to be sold under the Sales Agreement. Sales of the Class A Common Stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A Common Stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.

On August 6, 2018, the Company filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement that registered the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of additional shares of our Class A common stock.

Stock Compensation Plans | (15) Stock Compensation Plans Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “1996 Plan”) has reserved 17.5 million shares of common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including options granted and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the 1996 Plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years which primarily includes 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant. In February 2013, the 1996 Plan was amended to eliminate the provision that limited the amount of Class A common stock, including shares retained from an award, that could be withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations to the minimum tax obligations required by law (except with respect to option awards). In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. We have reviewed our historical pattern of option exercises and have determined that meaningful differences in option exercise activity existed among vesting schedules. Therefore, for all stock options granted after January 1, 2006, we have categorized these awards into two groups of vesting 1) 5-year cliff vest and 2) 4-year graded vest, for valuation purposes. We have determined there were no meaningful differences in employee activity under our ESPP due to the nature of the plan. We estimate the expected term of options granted using an implied life derived from the results of a hypothetical mid-point settlement scenario, which incorporates our historical exercise, expiration and post-vesting employment termination patterns, while accommodating for partial life cycle effects. We believe these estimates will approximate future behavior. We estimate the expected volatility of our Class A common stock at the grant date using a blend of 90% historical volatility of our Class A common stock and 10% implied volatility of publicly traded options with maturities greater than six months on our Class A common stock as of the option grant date. Our decision to use a blend of historical and implied volatility was based upon the volume of actively traded options on our common stock and our belief that historical volatility alone may not be completely representative of future stock price trends. Our risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the Federal Reserve nominal rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. We assumed an expected dividend yield of 5%. We estimate option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We record stock based compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on our historical forfeiture data. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used: Grant Year Dividend Yield Expected Volatility Risk Free Interest Rate Expected Lives 2020 5% 45% 2% 6 2019 5% 46% 2% 6 2018 5% 46% 2% 6 Information regarding the 1996 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Contractual Life Outstanding, beginning of year 608,375 $ 57.97 Granted 63,500 71.91 Exercised (61,949 ) 50.66 Forfeited — — Expired (11,000 ) 50.81 Outstanding, end of year 598,926 60.34 5.42 Exercisable at end of year 422,626 55.06 4.25 At December 31, 2020 there was $2,544 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.62 years. Shares available for future stock option and restricted share grants to employees and directors under existing plans were 2,435,451 at December 31, 2020. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of December 31, 2020 was $13,824, and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $11,927. Total intrinsic value of options exercised was $1,644 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2009 ESPP”), approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009, expired by its terms on June 30, 2019. On May 30, 2019, our shareholders approved Lamar Advertising’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2019 ESPP”). The 2019 ESPP became effective upon the expiration of the 2009 ESPP. The number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2019 ESPP was automatically increased by 86,093 shares on January 1, 2020 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2019 ESPP. The following is a summary of 2019 ESPP share activity for the year ended December 31, 2020: Shares Available for future purchases, January 1, 2020 438,434 Additional shares reserved under 2019 ESPP 86,093 Purchases (154,756 ) Available for future purchases, December 31, 2020 369,771 Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers and employees under our 1996 Plan based on certain Company performance measures for fiscal year 2020. The number of shares to be issued, if any, are dependent on the level of achievement of these performance measures as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2020 results and were issued in the first half of 2021. The shares subject to these awards generally can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of either 100% of the target number of shares or 150% of a target dollar amount depending on the level at which the goals are attained. Based on the Company’s performance measures achieved through December 31, 2020, the Company has accrued $10,484 as compensation expense related to these agreements. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (19) Fair Value of Financial Instruments At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments and initial recognition of asset retirement obligations are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long term debt (including current maturities) was $2,979,266, which is greater than both the gross and carrying amount of $2,926,633 as of December 31, 2020. The majority of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded debt (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and the remaining is valued based on quoted prices for similar debt (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). |

Description of the Business a_2
Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2020 | |
Nature of Business | (a) Nature of Business Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating approximately 153,200 billboard advertising displays in 45 states and Canada. The Company’s operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it serves. In addition, the Company operates a logo sign business in 23 states throughout the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada and operates approximately 47,700 transit advertising displays in 22 states and Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded service contracts on public rights-of-way near highway exits and deliver brand name information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. Included in the Company’s logo sign business are tourism signing contracts. The Company provides transit advertising in airport terminals, on bus shelters, benches and buses in the markets it serves. The Company operates as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income and gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders, including the income derived from advertising rental revenue. However, even as a REIT, the Company will remain obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from the assets of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the related government-imposed restrictions and social distancing measures have had an adverse effect on the demand for out-of-home advertising. As a result, demand for billboard, transit and airport advertising has declined, which has negatively affected the Company’s revenues and financial position for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have implemented measures to mitigate the impact on the Company’s financial position, which include: maintaining substantial liquidity and strengthening our debt maturity schedule (see Note 9 Long-term Debt |
Principles of Consolidation | (b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Lamar Advertising Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp. (Lamar Media), and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. An operating segment is a component of an enterprise: • that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; • whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and • for which discrete financial information is available. We define the term ‘chief operating decision maker’ to be our executive management group, which consist of our Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. Currently, all operations are reviewed on a consolidated basis for budget and business plan performance by our executive management group. Additionally, operational performance at the end of each reporting period is viewed in the aggregate by our management group. Any decisions related to changes in invested capital, personnel, operational improvement or training, or to allocate other company resources are made based on the combined results. We operate in a single operating and reporting segment, advertising. We rent advertising space on billboards, buses, shelters, benches, logo plates and in airport terminals. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | (d) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company designated December 31 as the date of its annual goodwill impairment test. The Company is required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit. The Company has identified two reporting units, Billboard operations and Logo operations, by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company is required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would be required to book an impairment loss. The Company conducts a qualitative assessment by examining relevant events and circumstances which could have a negative impact on the Company’s goodwill, which includes macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, reporting unit dispositions and acquisitions, the market capitalization of the Company and other relevant events specific to the Company. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances described above, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of either of the Company's reporting units is less than its carrying amount, the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test. If industry and economic conditions deteriorate, the Company may be required to assess goodwill impairment before the next annual test, which could result in impairment charges. The Company performed its annual measurement for impairment of the goodwill of its reporting units and concluded the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test date on December 31, 2020 and 2019; therefore, the Company was not required to recognize an impairment loss. Intangible assets, consisting primarily of site locations, customer lists and contracts, and non-competition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives, generally from 2 to 15 years. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | (e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, lease right of use assets and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group before interest expense. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. |
Acquisitions | (f) Acquisitions The Company accounts for transactions that meet the definition of a business and group asset purchases as acquisitions. For transactions that meet the definition of a business combination, the Company allocates the purchase price, including any contingent consideration, to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The determination of the final purchase price and the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed may extend over more than one period and result in adjustments to the preliminary estimate recognized in the prior period financial statements For transactions that meet the definition of asset group purchases, the Company proportionally allocates the purchase price to the assets based on relative fair value acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. If a transaction is determined to be a group of assets, any direct acquisition costs are capitalized. Transaction costs for transactions determined to be a business combination are expensed as incurred. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically determined by using either estimates of replacement costs or discounted cash flow valuation methods. When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the cost to replace the asset with a new asset, adjusted for an estimated reduction in fair value due to age of the asset, and the economic useful life. When determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the applicable discount rate and the timing and amount of future cash flows. |
Lease Liabilities | (g) Lease Liabilities On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases The Company is party to various operating leases for production facilities, vehicles and sites upon which advertising structures are built, including our billboard land leases, leases of logo structures and leases of transit advertising space. The leases expire at various dates, have varying options to renew and cancel, and may contain escalation provisions. We expense our non-variable lease payments ratably over the lease term. Also, certain of our leases contain variable lease payments based on percentage of revenue or consumer price index or other inflation-based indices. The variable lease costs are expensed in the period incurred. Financing lease right of use assets are amortized over the life of the lease which is recorded in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Interest related to financing lease liabilities is recorded in interest expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The key estimates for our leases include (1) the discount rate used to discount the unpaid lease payment to present value and (2) lease term. Our leases generally do not include a readily determinable implicit rate, therefore, using a portfolio approach, we determine our collateralized incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payment based on the information available at lease commencement. Our lease terms include the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. The Company has determined we are not reasonably certain to exercise renewals or termination options, and as a result we use the lease’s initial stated term as the lease term for our lease population. |
Deferred Income | (h) Deferred Income Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income over the term of the contract. |
Revenue Recognition | (i) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon satisfaction of its performance obligation. The Company engages in barter transactions where the Company trades advertising space for goods and services. The Company recognizes revenues and expenses from barter transactions at fair value, which is determined based on the Company’s own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising space from buyers unrelated to the party in the barter transaction. The amount of revenue and expense recognized for advertising barter transactions is as follows: 2020 2019 2018 Net revenues $ 8,088 $ 9,636 $ 8,955 Direct advertising expenses $ 3,971 $ 3,982 $ 3,633 General and administrative expenses $ 3,144 $ 4,986 $ 4,758 |
Income Taxes | (j) Income Taxes As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income taxes on income and gains distributed to the Company’s stockholders. However, the Company remains obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from domestic TRSs. In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or where those operations are conducted, including those designated as Qualified REIT Subsidiaries, or QRSs, for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect provisions for federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
Dividends/Distributions | (k) Dividends/Distributions As a REIT, the Company must annually distribute to its stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company declared and paid distributions of its REIT taxable income of $251,944 or $2.50 per share and $384,817 or $3.84 per share, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash distributions of its REIT taxable income in an aggregate amount of $442,632 or $4.48 per share. The distributions paid during 2018 include distributions declared and accrued as of December 31, 2017 of $81,534 or $0.83 per share. The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including the financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in its existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its TRSs and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock of $365 or $63.80 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount of $456 or $79.75 per share, including $91, or $15.95 per share, related to distributions accrued for in 2017. |
Earnings Per Share | (l) Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 there were no dilutive shares excluded from the calculation. |
Share Based Compensation | (m) Stock Based Compensation Compensation expense for share-based awards is recognized based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which generally commensurates with the vesting term. Non-cash compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were $18,772, $29,647 and $29,443, respectively. The $18,772 expensed during the year ended December 31, 2020 consists of (i) $4,249 related to stock options and the employee stock purchase plan, (ii) $12,602 related to stock grants made under the Company’s performance-based stock incentive program in 2020, (iii) $1,451 related to non-performance restricted stock awards and (iv) $470 related to restricted stock awards to directors. See Note 15 for information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (n) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Credit Losses | (o) Credit Losses The Company estimates credit losses on financial instruments based on amounts expected to be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical collections, accounts receivable aging, economic indicators, and expected future trends. |
Foreign Currency Translation | (p) Foreign Currency Translation Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and as a component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | (q) Asset Retirement Obligations The Company is required to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its leased properties. |
Use of Estimates | (r) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Comprehensive Income | (s) Comprehensive Income Total comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and the components of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of foreign currency translation effects. |
Fair Value Measurements | (t) Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. |
Subsequent Events | (u) Subsequent Events The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which the financial statements are issued. |
LAMAR MEDIA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES [Member] | |
Nature of Business | (a) Nature of Business Lamar Media Corp. (“Lamar Media”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company. Lamar Media is engaged in the outdoor advertising business operating approximately 153,200 outdoor advertising displays in 45 states and Canada. Lamar Media’s operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it serves. In addition, Lamar Media operates a logo sign business in 23 states throughout the United States as well as the province of Ontario, Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded service contracts on public rights-of-way near highway exits and deliver brand name information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. Included in the Company’s logo sign business are tourism signing contracts. The Company provides transit advertising in airport terminals, on bus shelters, benches and buses in the markets it serves. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the related government-imposed restrictions and social distancing measures have had an adverse effect on the demand for out-of-home advertising. As a result, demand for billboard, transit and airport advertising has declined, which has negatively affected Lamar Media’s revenues and financial position for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have implemented measures to mitigate the impact on Lamar Media’s financial position, which include: maintaining substantial liquidity and strengthening our debt maturity schedule, reducing our consolidated operating costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on disposition of assets), limiting spending on capital projects, minimizing acquisition activity, and utilizing portions of the CARES Act for deferral of employer portions of social security taxes through the end of 2020. Management continues to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the ultimate extent of impact on our financial position and results of operations cannot currently be predicted. Certain footnotes are not provided for the accompanying financial statements as the information in notes 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23 and 24 and portions of note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Advertising Company included elsewhere in this filing are substantially equivalent to that required for the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media Corp. Earnings per share data is not provided for the operating results of Lamar Media Corp. as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company. |
