Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidatedcarve-out interim financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidatedcarve-out interim financial information for it to be in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Report on Condensed ConsolidatedCarve-Out Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017
We have previously audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the condensed consolidatedcarve-out balance sheet of Raycom Media, Inc., and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in deficit in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion (which included an emphasis of a matter paragraph relating to the consolidatedcarve-out financial statements reflecting the assets, liabilities and expenses directly attributed to thecarve-out entities as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in deficit in net assets and cash flows in the consolidatedcarve-out financial statements) on those audited consolidatedcarve-out financial statements in our report dated October 5, 2018. In our opinion, the accompany condensed consolidatedcarve-out balance sheet of Raycom Media, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidatedcarve-out financial statements from which it has been derived.

(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(a) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are unaudited. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures required to be included in annual financial statements. The information contained in the accompanying condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidatedcarve-out financials statements and notes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2017 (the Annual Financial statements). These condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statement do not repeat disclosures that would substantially duplicate disclosures included in the Annual Financial Statements or details of accounts that have not been changed significantly in amounts or composition. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s Annual Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidatedcarve-out financials statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments and the

RAYCOM MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Carve-Out Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
adjustments noted below, necessary for the fair presentation of these condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that could be expected for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of changes in net deficit in net assets and cash flows of Raycom Media, Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding the financial results of PureCars and CNHI (the Company) have been derived from historical accounting records of Raycom Media, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Parent Company records) and are presented on acarve-out basis. Historically, our consolidated financial statements have included the financial results of PureCars and CNHI.
All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activities of the Company are included in the unaudited condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements also exclude allocations of certain operating, selling, general, and administrative expenses of PureCars and CNHI. These allocations were based on methodologies that management believes to be reasonable. However, amounts derecognized by the Company are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements had PureCars and CNHI operated independently of the Company.
Historically, Raycom Media, Inc. used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. As the Company represents all of the broadcasting and production operations of Raycom Media, Inc., all of Raycom Media, Inc.’s cash, cash equivalents and debt are included in these unaudited condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements. Any intercompany assets or liabilities are reflected as due from (to) Parent.
Deficit in net assets represents the Parent Company’s recorded net assets, as well as the income attributed within the unaudited condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements.
The Company has had positive cash flow from operations of $173.3 million for thenine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and $82.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company expects to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness, with cash on hand and cash flows from operations. The Company currently anticipates that funds generated from operations, cash on hand and available borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities Agreement will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months as of the report issuance date.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements.
Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

(b) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 condensed consolidatedcarve-out financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(c) | Recognition of Revenue and Expenses |
The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the sale of television broadcasting advertising. Total revenue includes cash and barter advertising revenue, other broadcast, and related revenues.
Advertising revenue is reported net of agency commissions and representation fees. Agency commissions and representation fees are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billings for the Company’s broadcasting operations. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period in which the advertisements are aired.
Production costs and collegiate conference rights fees expense are recognized as the events are aired, on aper-telecast basis.
(d) | Trade and Barter Transactions |
The Company trades certain advertising time for various goods and services. The Company also barters advertising time for certain programming rights. These transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the goods or services received, if determinable, or at the estimated fair value of the advertising time traded. The related revenue is recognized when advertisements are broadcast, and the related expenses are recognized as the goods or services are used. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, trade and barter revenue was $16.7 million and $13.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, trade and barter expense was approximately $16.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively.
(e) | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update(ASU) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606):Principal versus Agent Considerations (ASU2016-08). The purpose of ASU2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing(ASU2016-10), which clarifies the implementation guidance in identifying performance obligations in a contract and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). In 2016, the FASB issued various additional updates to the standard which included technical corrections and clarifications and did not substantially change the content of the new
9 | (Continued) |

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Carve-Out Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
standard. The Company does not plan to early adopt, and accordingly, it will adopt these updates effective January 1, 2019. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect thatASU No. 2014-09,ASU No. 2016-08, andASU No 2016-10, will have on its consolidatedcarve-out financial statements and related disclosures.
In February of 2016, the FASB issuedASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842).ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease rights and obligations as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Previously, lessees were not required to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from operating leases. The ASU also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements.ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2019, using the modified retrospective method of adoption, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued an amendment giving companies the option to apply the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption, with no restatement of prior periods. The Company is in the preliminary phases of assessing the effect of the ASU on its portfolio of leases. The Company has not yet selected a transition date, nor has it determined the effect of the ASU on its consolidatedcarve-out financial statements.

(6) | Income Taxes |
For thenine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s income tax expense and effective income tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):
Nine months ended September 30 | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Income tax expense | 23,712 | 35,170 | ||||||
Effective income tax rate | 25.7 | % | 36.9 | % |
The Company estimates its differences between taxable income or loss and recorded income or loss on an annual basis. The Company’s tax provision for each quarter is based upon these full year projections, which are revised each reporting period. These projections incorporate estimates of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP income or loss and taxable income or loss, state income taxes and adjustments to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits to adjust its statutory Federal income tax rate of 21.0% in 2018 and 35.0% in 2017 to our effective income tax rate. For thenine-month period ended September 30, 2018, these estimates increased its statutory Federal income tax rate of 21.0% to its effective income tax rate of 25.7% as follows: state income taxes added 3.9%, permanent differences between our U.S. GAAP income and taxable income added 0.4%, and accrual of unrecognized tax benefits added 0.4%. For thenine-month period ended September 30, 2017, these estimates increased or decreased our statutory Federal income tax rate of 35.0% to its effective income tax rate of 36.9% as follows: state income taxes added 2.9% and permanent differences between its U.S. GAAP income and taxable income reduced 2.5%, accrual of unrecognized tax benefits added 0.5%, and various other differences added 1%.
Pursuant to the enactment of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”), effective on January 1, 2018, the corporate federal income tax rate was reduced to 21% from 35%. The Company is subject to Tax Reform’s limitation on interest deductibility which is based on a limit calculated without regard to depreciation or amortization through 2021. The resulting interest deduction that is deferred can be carried forward indefinitely. Nevertheless, as is the case with any future deductible temporary difference, management will continue to evaluate realizability to determine whether a valuation allowance is required as a result of these limitations.
Changes in tax laws, the outcome of tax audits and any other changes in potential tax liabilities may result in additional tax expense or benefit in 2018, which are not considered in the Company’s estimated annual tax rate. While the Company does not currently view any such items as individually material to the results of the Company’s consolidated position or results of operations, the impact of certain items may yield additional tax expense or benefit in the remaining quarters of fiscal year 2018.
The Company made income tax payments of approximately $3.2 million and $38.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company received a $6.5 million refund for federal income taxes during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.
