LBI Media, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Results
Burbank, CA – April 12, 2010 – LBI Media, Inc. reports its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations incorporates restated financial results (other than the results for dates as of, and periods ended, December 31, 2009). Due to our restatement for accounting errors relating to (i) the treatment of certain temporary state tax credits and (ii) the classification and valuation of certain deferred tax accounts relating to our indefinite-lived intangible assets, all prior period comparisons contained within this press release reflect restated financial results.
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, net revenues decreased by $0.2 million, or 1.0%, to $25.9 million, from $26.1 million for the same period in 2008. Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $13.4 million, or 11.5%, to $102.9 million, from $116.3 million for the same period in 2008.
In December 2009, the company completed the sale of its radio station KSEV-AM in our Houston, Texas market for approximately $6.5 million in cash. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the company has reported the operating results of KSEV-AM for all periods presented in discontinued operations within its consolidated statements of operations.
Commenting on the company’s earnings results, Lenard Liberman, Chief Executive Officer and President said, “While the current economic environment still presents challenges for the broadcasting industry, we are encouraged by the sequential improvement we have seen in our total revenues since the second quarter. Our television segment returned to revenue growth during the fourth quarter as our stations in Los Angeles, Houston and Dallas recorded improved results.
“EstrellaTV, our national television network, continues to post very positive results. Our roster of affiliates continues to grow as we reached agreements with stations in California and Texas, including Bakersfield, Palm Springs, Odessa-Midland and Santa Barbara, the 29th, 38th, 40th and 44th largest Hispanic markets in the U.S., respectively. Together with our owned and operated stations, our affiliated stations, and upon completion of the purchase of the Denver and Chicago television station assets, we will have distribution in 30 markets covering 75% of U.S. Hispanic television households. We have a number of additional affiliation agreements pending and continue to pursue other distribution opportunities in Hispanic markets throughout the U.S.
“In March, Estrella TV also successfully debuted as a Nielsen rated broadcast network. In its first overnight ratings results, Estrella TV ranked fourth among the many nationally rated Spanish language networks and continues to hold that position in prime time. As we add to our affiliates in key Hispanic markets and improve our distribution platform, we expect our ratings to improve.
“As we move forward in 2010, we remain committed to strengthening our programming lineup, delivering ratings gains across our radio and TV properties, further expanding EstrellaTV’s reach and capturing strong national network ratings, and monetizing our growing audiences. Given our strong market position, attractive radio and TV broadcasting assets, and the successful launch of our EstrellaTV network, we believe we are well positioned to deliver improved performance in 2010.”
Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2009
Net revenues decreased by $0.2 million, or 1.0%, to $25.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $26.1 million for the same period in 2008. The change was primarily attributable to decreased advertising revenue in both our radio and television segments, reflecting the general decline in the advertising industry consistent with the continued downturn in the local and U.S. economies.
Net operating expenses decreased by $47.6 million, or 67.6%, to $22.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $70.4 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily related to $45.1 million of broadcast license impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008, while no broadcast license impairment charges were recorded in the same period in 2009. Excluding the impact of the broadcast license impairment charges, net operating expenses decreased by $2.5 million, or 9.8%, from $25.3 million in 2008. This decrease was the result of a $2.4 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily due to lower sales commission expenses, reflecting lower net revenues and commission payout rates. There was also a $1.8 million decrease in loss on sale and disposal of property and equipment primarily as a result of 2009 write-offs of obsolete property and equipment across all our markets being less than those taken in our Texas markets in 2008. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in program and technical expenses, primarily resulting from expenses related to the production of one our new television shows, “Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento.”
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased by $0.4 million, or 5.6%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily the result of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the modest decline in radio and television advertising revenues and increase in program and technical expenses, as described above.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, increased to $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2008, a change of $0.5 million.
We recognized net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to a loss of $49.4 million for the same period in 2008, a change of $49.6 million. This change was primarily attributable to the $47.3 million decrease in operating loss, primarily due to the absence of broadcast license impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a $4.2 million increase in interest rate swap income, partially offset by an income tax benefit of $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to an income tax benefit of $5.6 million for the same period in 2008.
Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2009
Net revenues decreased by $13.4 million, or 11.5%, to $102.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $116.3 million for the same period in 2008. The change was primarily attributable to decreased advertising revenue in both our radio and television segments, reflecting the general decline in the advertising industry consistent with the continued downturn in the local and U.S. economies. However, these declines were partially offset by incremental revenue from our EstrellaTV national television network.
Total operating expenses increased by $28.0 million, or 15.7%, to $206.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $178.3 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily the result of a $34.8 million increase in broadcast license impairment charges. Excluding the impact of the impairment charges, total operating expenses decreased by $6.7 million, or 7.8%, to $79.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of a $3.2 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily due to lower sales commission expenses, reflecting lower net revenues and commission payout rates. The decrease was also due to a reduction in employee benefit costs and a $1.6 million decline in program and technical expenses, primarily reflecting the increase in the period over which certain in-house television production costs are amortized. This decline in program and technical expenses was partially offset by an increase in music license and ratings service fees. In addition, there was a decrease in the loss on sale and disposal of property and equipment primarily as a result of our 2009 write-offs of obsolete property and equipment across all our markets being less than those taken in our Texas markets in 2008 and the absence in 2009 of prior year disposals related to Hurricane Ike.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased by $8.6 million, or 19.8%, to $34.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $43.2 million for the same period in 2008. This change primarily reflects the decrease in net revenue of $13.4 million, partially offset by decreases in operating expenses as discussed above.
Discontinued operations, net of income taxes, increased to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2008, a change of $0.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the gain, net of incomes taxes, on the sale of radio station KSEV-AM, partially offset by a $0.3 million broadcast license impairment charge recognized during the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to no impairment charge recorded during the corresponding period in 2008.
We recognized a net loss of $107.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $87.3 million for the same period in 2008. This change was primarily attributable to the $34.8 million increase in broadcast license impairment charges partially offset by a $13.1 million increase in income tax benefit.
Restatement
On March 26, 2010, our board of directors, upon the identification by and recommendation of management, concluded that our previously issued consolidated financial statements for (i) the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 included in our Annual Reports that include those fiscal years, and (ii) the interim periods within the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 included in our Quarterly Reports that include those interim periods should no longer be relied upon because of errors in those financial statements. We restated the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the previously issued consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholder’s equity for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The restatement related to accounting errors involving the treatment of certain temporary state tax credits and the classification and valuation of certain deferred tax accounts relating to our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss less discontinued operations, net of income taxes, plus income tax expense or benefit, gain or loss on sale and disposal of property and equipment, gain or loss on sale of investments, net interest expense, interest rate swap expense or income, impairment of broadcast licenses, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense 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.
