Exhibit 99.1
LBI Media, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results
Burbank, CA – November 16, 2009 – LBI Media, Inc. announced its financial results today for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, net revenues decreased by $3.0 million, or 9.7%, to $27.5 million, from $30.5 million for the same period in 2008. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $13.1 million, or 14.6%, to $77.1 million, from $90.2 million for the same period in 2008.
As discussed in more detail below, last month we entered into a definitive agreement to sell radio station KSEV-AM in our Houston, Texas, market for approximately $6.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we have reported the operating results of KSEV-AM for all periods presented in discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations.
Commenting on the company’s earnings results, Lenard Liberman, our CEO and President said, “Our third quarter financial results were impacted by the continued economic downturn and challenging advertising environment. Despite the difficult conditions, we continued to execute our strategy of capitalizing on our high-quality programming and the strong value proposition we deliver to our advertising partners. While we have seen some improvement in the third quarter with respect to broadcast revenue performance, as compared to the first and second quarters of this year, there are markets like Southern California that remain very challenged. The challenges facing broadcasters before a market turnaround are still considerable. However, we remain optimistic for the future.
“The much-anticipated launch of our national television network, EstrellaTV, took place on September 14th. The launch has been successful and the network is performing in line with our expectations. During the third quarter, we signed an affiliation agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. for a television station in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 22nd largest Hispanic market in the country. Combined with our six owned and operated stations and our affiliated stations, we now have distribution in 24 markets covering over 67% of U.S. Hispanic television households. We have several affiliation agreements pending and are pursuing additional distribution partnerships in Hispanic markets throughout the U.S.
“Looking at the performance of our other stations, we continue to deliver strong ratings in our markets and our diverse programming has captured dedicated audiences. Our programming lineup and ratings performance has improved as a result of the positive reception of our newly introduced shows, includingTengo Talento, Mucho Talento, a celebrity-judged talent show that began airing in early October. This show has garnered a ratings increase of over 150% year-over-year in a very competitive time slot. While we are taking concerted steps to strengthen our programming, we also remain focused on containing our operating costs and are actively promoting cost-saving measures across our operations.
“Moving forward, we remain committed to strengthening our programming lineup, driving ratings gains across our radio and TV properties, as well as delivering strong national network ratings, and monetizing our growing audience. Given our strong market position, our attractive radio and TV broadcasting assets, and our recently launched EstrellaTV network, we believe we will be in position to generate growth when the economy recovers.”
Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009
Net revenues decreased by $3.0 million, or 9.7%, to $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $30.5 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily attributable to decreased total advertising revenue in both our radio and television segments, reflecting the general decline in the advertising industry due to the U.S. recession.
Net revenues for our radio segment decreased by $0.7 million, or 3.9%, to $16.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, from $17.2 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily attributable to a decline in advertising revenue in our Southern California market.
Net revenues for our television segment decreased by $2.3 million, or 17.2%, to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, from $13.3 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower advertising revenue in our Los Angeles, Dallas and Salt Lake City television markets, reflecting the continuing downturn in the local and U.S. economies.

Total operating expenses increased by $26.5 million, or 39.0%, to $94.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, from $67.9 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in broadcast license impairment charges of $28.4 million. Excluding the broadcast license impairment charges, total operating expenses decreased by $1.9 million, or 9.0%, to $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million decline in program and technical expenses, primarily resulting from an increase in management’s estimate of the period over which certain of our internally produced programs contribute to our revenues, which deferred expense recognition of certain television production costs. The overall decline in operating expenses was also attributable to a $0.8 million decrease in loss on disposal of property and equipment, which resulted primarily from the write-off in the third quarter of 2008 of assets related to property damage caused by Hurricane Ike.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased by $2.0 million, or 16.0%, to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily the result of the overall decline in radio and television advertising revenues, partially offset by the reduction in program and technical expenses, as described above.
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, decreased to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2008, a change of $0.2 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.3 million broadcast license impairment charge in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to no charge recorded during the corresponding period in 2008.
We recognized a net loss of $76.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a loss of $29.4 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $47.5 million. This change was primarily attributable to the $29.5 million increase in operating loss, based on the factors discussed above, and an income tax provision of $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to an income tax benefit of $15.6 million for the same period in 2008.
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Net revenues decreased by $13.1 million, or 14.6%, to $77.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $90.2 million for the same period in 2008. The change was primarily attributable to decreased advertising revenue in most of our radio and television markets, reflecting the general decline in the advertising industry consistent with the continuing downturn in the local and U.S. economies.
Net revenues for our radio segment decreased by $4.9 million, or 9.8%, to $45.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $49.9 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily attributable to a decline in advertising revenue in our California and Texas markets.
Net revenues for our television segment decreased by $8.2 million, or 20.4%, to $32.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $40.3 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower advertising revenue in all of our markets, reflecting the continuing downturn in the local and U.S. economies.
Total operating expenses increased by $75.6 million, or 70.1%, to $183.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $107.9 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily the result of a $79.9 million increase in broadcast license impairment charges. Excluding the impact of the impairment charges, total operating expenses decreased by $4.2 million, or 6.9%, to $57.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was the result of a $3.3 million decline in program and technical expenses, primarily resulting from an increase in management’s estimate of the period over which certain of our internally produced programs contribute to our revenues. This benefit realized from deferring the period over which certain television production costs are expensed was partially offset by an increase in music license and ratings service fees. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million, primarily as a result of staff reductions and lower sales commissions as a result of reduced sales and commission payout rates.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased by $8.9 million, or 24.0%, to $28.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $37.2 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily the result of the overall decline in radio and television advertising revenues, partially offset by the decrease in program and technical expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, decreased to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2008, a change of $0.3 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.3 million broadcast license impairment charge recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to no charge recorded during the corresponding period in 2008, and a decrease in the benefit from income taxes.
(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss less income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, plus income tax benefit or expense, net interest expense, interest rate swap income or expense, impairment of broadcast licenses, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment and other non-cash gains or losses. Management considers this measure an important indicator of our liquidity relating to our operations because it eliminates the effects of certain non-cash items, our discontinued operations and our capital structure. This measure 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income or loss and net income or loss. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from those of many companies reporting similarly named measures. See tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of net cash (used in) provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA.

We recognized a net loss of $113.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $28.9 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily attributable to the $79.9 million increase in broadcast license impairment charges and the other factors noted above.
Recent Developments
In October 2009, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell radio station KSEV-AM to Patrick Broadcasting, LP for $6.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. Consummation of the sale is subject to regulatory approval from the FCC and to other customary closing conditions.
