Item 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition
LBI Media, Inc. (“LBI Media”), a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LBI Media Holdings, Inc., held a conference call on August 14, 2008 to discuss its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. LBI Media was also available to answer questions during the conference call. The transcript from the conference call is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto is being furnished (not filed) under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K.
During the conference call, LBI Media used the terms “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest expense, interest rate swap income and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. These terms, as defined by LBI Media, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
Management of LBI Media considers these measures important indicators of its liquidity relating to its operations, as they eliminate the effects of certain non-cash items and the company’s capital structure. LBI Media’s management believes liquidity is an important measure for LBI Media because it reflects its ability to meet its interest payments under its substantial indebtedness and is a measure of the amount of cash available to grow LBI Media through its acquisition strategy. These measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income, and net income.
LBI Media believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to an investor in evaluating its liquidity and cash flow because:
| • | they are widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a company’s liquidity and cash flow without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization and impairment of broadcast licenses. The broadcast industry uses liquidity to determine whether a company will be able to cover its capital expenditures and whether a company will be able to acquire additional assets and broadcast licenses if the company has an acquisition strategy. LBI Media believes that, by eliminating the effect of certain non-cash items, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide a meaningful measure of liquidity; |
| • | they give investors other measures to evaluate and compare the results of LBI Media’s operations from period to period by removing the impact of non-cash expense items, such as impairment of broadcast licenses. By removing the non-cash items, these measures allow investors to better determine whether LBI Media will be able to meet its debt obligations as they become due; and |
| • | they provide a liquidity measure before the impact of a company’s capital structure by removing net interest expense items and interest rate swap expenses. |
LBI Media’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
| • | as a measure to assist LBI Media in planning its acquisition strategy; |
| • | in presentations to LBI Media’s board of directors to enable them to have the same consistent measurement basis of liquidity and cash flow used by management; |
| • | as a measure for determining LBI Media’s operating budget and its ability to fund working capital; and |
| • | as a measure for planning and forecasting capital expenditures. |
