	1. Significant Accounting Policies and Description of Business
	The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2013 Combined Form 10-K. Subsequent events, if any, are evaluated through the date on which the financial statements are issued.	(1) Significant Accounting Policies
	In April 2014, the Company received a favorable private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding its plan to be taxed as REIT. The Company’s conversion to a REIT is expected to be effective as of January 1, 2014, subject to final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.
		(a) Nature of Business
		Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating over 145,000 billboard advertising displays in 44 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. 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 22 states throughout the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada and operates over 38,000 transit advertising displays in 16 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. 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 on bus shelters, benches and buses in the markets it serves.
		(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 Chief Executive Officer, President 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 sell advertising on billboards, buses, shelters and benches and logo plates.
		(c) Adjustment to Previously Reported Amounts
		Immaterial Correction of an Error. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company revised previously reported amounts due to a change from recognizing revenue on a monthly basis over the term of the advertising contract to recognizing revenue on a daily basis over the term of the advertising contract. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, management evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded the error was immaterial to the current and prior periods. The correction of the immaterial error resulted in an increase to deferred income liability of $21,651 and $18,486 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of accumulated deficit of $13,208 and $11,277 and a reduction in net revenue and net income of $3,165 and $2,773 and $1,931 and $1,692, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The correction also resulted in a decrease of $0.02 in earnings per basic and dilutive share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
		Consequently, the Company revised its historical financial statements for fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 herein, and will revise the quarters within fiscal 2013, when they are published in future filings. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the error on periods prior to those that are presented herein by increasing deferred income liability and accumulated deficit by $15,713 and $9,585, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
		(d) Property, Plant and Equipment
		Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
		(e) 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. Impairment testing involves various estimates and assumptions, which could vary, and an analysis of relevant market data and market capitalization. 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 is required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit 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 perform the second step of the impairment test, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. The fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test date on December 31, 2013 and 2012; 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 3 to 15 years.
		(f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
		Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, 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.
		(g) Deferred Income
		Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance and gains resulting from the sale of certain assets to related parties. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income as services are provided over the term of the contract.
		(h) Revenue Recognition
		The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as services are provided. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon completion of the sale.
		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:
				2013		2012		2011
		Net revenues		$	7,862	$	6,798	$	7,153
		Direct advertising expenses		$	3,005	$	2,900	$	2,766
		General and administrative expenses		$	4,417	$	3,699	$	3,524
		(i) Income Taxes
		The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
		(j) Earnings Per Share
		The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt. For the years ended December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no dilutive shares excluded from the calculation.
		(k) 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 is generally commensurate with the vesting term. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $24,936, $14,466 and $11,650. The $24,936 expensed during the year ended December 31, 2013 consists of (i) $17,340 related to stock options, (ii) $7,231 related to stock grants, made under the Company’s performance-based stock incentive program in 2013 (iii) $365 related to stock awards to directors. See Note 14 for information on the assumptions we used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.
		(l) Cash and Cash Equivalents
		The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
		(m) 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 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income and as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.
		(n) Asset Retirement Obligations
		The Company is required to record the present 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 properties.
		(o) 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.
		(p) Comprehensive Income
		Total comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive Income is composed of foreign currency translation effects.
		(q) Subsequent Events
		The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which the financial statements are issued.

	Year Ended December 31, 2013
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $97,230, of which $92,248 was in cash and $4,982 in non-cash consideration consisting principally of exchanges of outdoor advertising assets. As a result of the acquisitions, a gain of $67 was recorded for transactions which involved the exchange of outdoor advertising assets during the year ended December 31, 2013.
	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 costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary fair market value estimates at the dates of acquisition. The allocations are pending final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. The following is a summary of the allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions.

	(a)	For the period ended December 31, 2011, management asserted that the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries were permanently reinvested and a deferred tax benefit of $4,023 was recognized from the release of the December 31, 2010 deferred tax liability. In periods prior to December 31, 2011, the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries were not designated as permanently reinvested.
	(b)	In 2013, the “Tax Burden Adjustment and Redistribution Act” was signed into law. Under the enacted legislation, the Puerto Rico corporate income tax rate was increased to 39% from 30%. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $2,479 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Puerto Rico net deferred tax asset. Also in 2013, British Columbia Bill 2 was signed into law. The enacted legislation increased the general corporate income tax rate to 11% from 10%. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $86 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Canadian net deferred tax asset.
		In 2012, Ontario Bill 114 was signed into law. The enacted legislation freezes the general corporate income tax rate at 11.5%, cancelling the previously enacted rate reductions for 2012 and 2013 to 11% and 10%, respectively. As a result, a non-cash charge of $49 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Canadian net deferred tax liability.
		In 2011, the “Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico” was signed into law. Under the enacted legislation, the Puerto Rico corporate income tax rate was lowered from 39% to 30%. As a result, a non-cash charge of $1,743 to income tax expense was recorded for the reduction of the Puerto Rico net deferred tax asset.

During 2013, we utilized $65,641 of U.S. net operating losses, leaving $305,172 of U.S. net operating loss carry forwards remaining at December 31, 2013 to offset future taxable income. Of this amount, $13,049 is subject to an IRC §382 limitation, but will be available to be fully utilized by no later than 2017. These carry forwards expire between 2020 through 2032. In addition, we have $4,443 of various credits available to offset future U.S. federal income tax.
As of December 31, 2013 we have approximately $430,191 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 $247 of various credits available to offset future state income tax. Management has determined that a valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carry forwards in certain jurisdictions is necessary. The valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $2,323 and $3,410, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was a (decrease) increase of $(1,087), $(332) and $410, respectively.
During 2013, we generated $3,285 of Puerto Rico net operating losses. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $28,523 of Puerto Rico net operating losses available to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2016 and 2023. In addition, we have $154 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 and projected decreases in future depreciation and amortization, the Company will generate the minimum amount of future taxable income to support the realization of the deferred tax assets. Additionally, the Company has a significant amount of deferred tax liabilities that will reverse during the same period and jurisdiction and are of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets. As a result, management believes that it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deferred tax assets, net of the existing valuation allowances at December 31, 2013. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
We have not recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $7,583 for the undistributed earnings of our Canadian operations that arose in 2013 and prior years as management considers these earnings to be indefinitely invested outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2013, the undistributed earnings of these subsidiaries were approximately $21,665.
Under ASC 740, we provide for uncertain tax positions, and the related interest, and adjust recognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	135
Additions for tax positions related to current year		3
Additions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Reductions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Lapse of statute of limitations		(63	)
Settlements		—
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	75
Additions for tax positions related to current year		1
Additions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Reductions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Lapse of statute of limitations		(41	)
Settlements		—
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	35
Included in the balance of unrecognized benefits at December 31, 2013 is $35 of tax benefits that, if recognized in future periods, would impact our effective tax rate.
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we recognized interest and penalties of $1 and $3, respectively, as components of income tax expense in connection with our liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties included in the balance at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $4 and $14, respectively.
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 before 2010 since the IRS has completed review of our income tax returns through 2009, or for any U.S. state income tax audit prior to 2002. With respect to Canada and Puerto Rico, we are no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible, that we could decrease our unrecognized tax benefits up to $35 as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations.

	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 35 percent to income before taxes is as follows:

	(a)	In periods prior to December 31, 2011, the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries were not designated as permanently reinvested. For the period ended December 31, 2011, management asserted that the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries were permanently reinvested and a deferred tax benefit of $4,023 was recognized from the release of the December 31, 2010 deferred tax liability.
	(b)	In 2013, the “Tax Burden Adjustment and Redistribution Act” was signed into law. Under the enacted legislation, the Puerto Rico corporate income tax rate was increased to 39% from 30%. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $2,479 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Puerto Rico net deferred tax asset. Also in 2013, British Columbia Bill 2 was signed into law. The enacted legislation increased the general corporate income tax rate to 11% from 10%. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $86 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Canadian net deferred tax asset.
	In 2012, Ontario Bill 114 was signed into law. The enacted legislation freezes the general corporate income tax rate at 11.5%, cancelling the previously enacted rate reductions for 2012 and 2013 to 11% and 10%, respectively. As a result, a non-cash charge of $49 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Canadian net deferred tax liability.
	In 2011, the “Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico” was signed into law. Under the enacted legislation, the Puerto Rico corporate income tax rate was lowered from 39% to 30%. As a result, a non-cash charge of $1,743 to income tax expense was recorded for the reduction of the Puerto Rico net deferred tax asset.
	The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are presented below:

During 2013, we utilized $65,976 of U.S. net operating losses, leaving $169,411 of U.S. net operating loss carry forwards remaining at December 31, 2013, to offset future taxable income. Of this amount, $13,049 is subject to an IRC §382 limitation, but will be available to be fully utilized by no later than 2017. These carry forwards expire between 2020 and 2032. In addition, we have $19,214 of various credits available to offset future U.S. federal income tax.
As of December 31, 2013, we have approximately $392,470 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 $247 of various credits available to offset future state income tax. Management has determined that a valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carry forwards is necessary. The valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1,751 and $2,836, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was a (decrease) increase of $(1,085), $(356) and $407, respectively.
During 2013, we generated $3,285 of Puerto Rico net operating losses. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $28,523 of Puerto Rico net operating losses available to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2016 and 2023. In addition, we have $154 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.

Additionally, the company has a significant amount of deferred tax liabilities that will reverse during the same period and jurisdiction and is of the same character as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets. As a result, management believes that it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deferred tax assets, net of the existing valuation allowances at December 31, 2013. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
We have not recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $7,583 for the undistributed earnings of our Canadian operations that arose in 2013 and prior years as management considers these earnings to be indefinitely invested outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2013, the undistributed earnings of these subsidiaries were approximately $21,665.
Under ASC 740, we provide for uncertain tax positions, and the related interest, and adjust recognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	135
Additions for tax positions related to current year		3
Additions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Reductions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Lapse of statute of limitations		(63	)

Additions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Reductions for tax positions related to prior years		—
Lapse of statute of limitations		(41	)
Settlements		—
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	35
Included in the balance of unrecognized benefits at December 31, 2013 is $35 of tax benefits that, if recognized in future periods, would impact our effective tax rate.
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we recognized interest and penalties of $1 and $3, respectively, as components of income tax expense in connection with our liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties included in the balance at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $4 and $14, respectively.
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 before 2010 since the IRS has completed review of our income tax returns through 2009, or for any U.S. state income tax audit prior to 2002. With respect to Canada and Puerto Rico, we are no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible, that we could decrease our unrecognized tax benefits up to $35 as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations.

	(13) 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. The Class A preferred stock, par value $638, was exchanged for the new Series AA preferred stock and no shares of Class A preferred stock are currently outstanding. The new Series AA preferred stock and the class A preferred stock rank 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 and Class A 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 and the Class A preferred stock are also 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, 2013 was $3,649. The Series AA preferred stock and the Class A preferred stock are identical, except that the Series AA preferred stock is entitled to one vote per share and the Class A preferred stock is not entitled to vote.
	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).

	2. Stock-Based Compensation				Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 15.5 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 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 May 2013, the Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available by 2.5 million shares. In February 2013, the 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, the Company is required to classify the awards affected by the amendment as liability-classified awards at fair value each period prior to their settlement. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a liability, in accrued expenses, of $6,757 related to its equity incentive awards affected by this amendment.
	Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 15.5 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years and include 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.				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 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 and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an aggregate of 51,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2014.				We estimate the expected volatility of our Class A common stock at the grant date using a blend of 75% historical volatility of our Class A common stock and 25% 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 zero since the Company has historically not paid dividends on Class A common stock, except for special dividends in 2007.
	Stock Purchase Plan. In 2009 our Board of Directors adopted a new employee stock purchase plan, the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 2009 ESPP, which was approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009. The 2009 ESPP reserved 588,154 shares of Class A common stock for issuance to our employees, which included 88,154 shares of Class A common stock that had been available for issuance under our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 2000 ESPP. The 2000 ESPP was terminated following the issuance of all shares that were subject to the offer that commenced under the 2000 ESPP on January 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2009. The terms of the 2009 ESPP are substantially the same as the 2000 ESPP.				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:
	The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2009 ESPP was automatically increased by 80,209 shares on January 1, 2014 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2009 ESPP.

	On January 10, 2014, the Company completed an institutional private placement of $510,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8% Senior Notes due 2024 of Lamar Media. The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $502,300. Lamar Media used the proceeds of this offering to repay in full all amounts then outstanding under its senior credit facility.
	On February 3, 2014, Lamar Media entered into a second restatement agreement with the Company, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as guarantors and the lenders named therein under which the parties agreed to amend and restate the existing senior credit facility for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent; the second amended and restated senior credit agreement was entered into on April 28, 2010, amended and restated on February 9, 2012 and amended and restated on February 3, 2014 (as amended and restated, the “senior credit facility”). Among other things, the amendments increased the revolving credit facility from $250,000 to $400,000 and extended its maturity date to February 2, 2019. The incremental facility was also increased from $300,000 to $500,000. In addition, the senior credit facility was amended to include provisions that would allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that would allow Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions. It also eliminated a requirement that Lamar Media make mandatory prepayments on loans in certain circumstances based on excess cash flow.

	10. Adjustments to Previously Reported Amounts
	Immaterial Correction of an Error. Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company revised previously reported amounts due to a change from recognizing revenue on a monthly basis over the term of the advertising contract to recognizing revenue on a daily basis over the term of the advertising contract. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, management evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded the error was immaterial to the current and prior periods. The correction of the immaterial error resulted in an increase (decrease) of net revenue and net income of $3,060 and $1,867 and $(3,814) and $(2,326) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The correction also resulted in an increase (decrease) of $0.02 and ($0.03) in earnings per basic and dilutive share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
	The Company revised its historical financial statements as published in our 2013 Combined 10-K for fiscal 2011 and 2012, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 contained therein. The Company will revise the quarter ended September 30, 2013, when it’s published in a future filing.

	On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued 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. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

	During the period ended June 30, 2014 the Company paid a cash distribution to holders of its common stock of $79,013, or $0.83 per share, in anticipation of commencing to operate as a REIT effective January 1, 2014. As a REIT the Company must distribute to its stockholders by the end of 2014 all if its pre-REIT accumulated earnings and profits, if any. In addition, 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). 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 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 our existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRSs) and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid a cash dividend distribution to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock of $182 or $31.90 per share.

Nature of Business	'
	(a) Nature of Business

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 Chief Executive Officer, President 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 sell advertising on billboards, buses, shelters and benches and logo plates.
Adjustment to Previously Reported Amounts	'
	(c) Adjustment to Previously Reported Amounts
	Immaterial Correction of an Error. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company revised previously reported amounts due to a change from recognizing revenue on a monthly basis over the term of the advertising contract to recognizing revenue on a daily basis over the term of the advertising contract. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, management evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded the error was immaterial to the current and prior periods. The correction of the immaterial error resulted in an increase to deferred income liability of $21,651 and $18,486 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of accumulated deficit of $13,208 and $11,277 and a reduction in net revenue and net income of $3,165 and $2,773 and $1,931 and $1,692, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The correction also resulted in a decrease of $0.02 in earnings per basic and dilutive share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
	Consequently, the Company revised its historical financial statements for fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 herein, and will revise the quarters within fiscal 2013, when they are published in future filings. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the error on periods prior to those that are presented herein by increasing deferred income liability and accumulated deficit by $15,713 and $9,585, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	(d) Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	'
	(e) 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. Impairment testing involves various estimates and assumptions, which could vary, and an analysis of relevant market data and market capitalization. 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 is required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit 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 perform the second step of the impairment test, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. The fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test date on December 31, 2013 and 2012; 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 3 to 15 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	(f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, 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.
Deferred Income	'
	(g) Deferred Income
	Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance and gains resulting from the sale of certain assets to related parties. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income as services are provided over the term of the contract.
Revenue Recognition	'
	(h) Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts, as services are provided. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon completion of the sale.
	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:
			2013		2012		2011
	Net revenues		$	7,862	$	6,798	$	7,153
	Direct advertising expenses		$	3,005	$	2,900	$	2,766
	General and administrative expenses		$	4,417	$	3,699	$	3,524
Income Taxes	'
	(i) Income Taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Earnings Per Share	'
	(j) Earnings Per Share
	The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt. For the years ended December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no dilutive shares excluded from the calculation.
Stock Based Compensation	'
	(k) 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 is generally commensurate with the vesting term. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $24,936, $14,466 and $11,650. The $24,936 expensed during the year ended December 31, 2013 consists of (i) $17,340 related to stock options, (ii) $7,231 related to stock grants, made under the Company’s performance-based stock incentive program in 2013 (iii) $365 related to stock awards to directors. See Note 14 for information on the assumptions we used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	(l) Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	(m) 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 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income and as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.
Asset Retirement Obligations	'
	(n) Asset Retirement Obligations
	The Company is required to record the present 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 properties.
Use of Estimates	'
	(o) 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	'
	(p) Comprehensive Income
	Total comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and the components of accumulated other comprehensive income are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive Income is composed of foreign currency translation effects.
Subsequent Events	'
	(q) Subsequent Events
	The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which the financial statements are issued.

	(a)	For the period ended December 31, 2011, management asserted that the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries were permanently reinvested and a deferred tax benefit of $4,023 was recognized from the release of the December 31, 2010 deferred tax liability. In periods prior to December 31, 2011, the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries were not designated as permanently reinvested.
	(b)	In 2013, the “Tax Burden Adjustment and Redistribution Act” was signed into law. Under the enacted legislation, the Puerto Rico corporate income tax rate was increased to 39% from 30%. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $2,479 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Puerto Rico net deferred tax asset. Also in 2013, British Columbia Bill 2 was signed into law. The enacted legislation increased the general corporate income tax rate to 11% from 10%. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $86 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Canadian net deferred tax asset.
		In 2012, Ontario Bill 114 was signed into law. The enacted legislation freezes the general corporate income tax rate at 11.5%, cancelling the previously enacted rate reductions for 2012 and 2013 to 11% and 10%, respectively. As a result, a non-cash charge of $49 to income tax expense was recorded for the increase of the Canadian net deferred tax liability.
		In 2011, the “Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico” was signed into law. Under the enacted legislation, the Puerto Rico corporate income tax rate was lowered from 39% to 30%. As a result, a non-cash charge of $1,743 to income tax expense was recorded for the reduction of the Puerto Rico net deferred tax asset.
