Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased $10.6 million to $130.6 million as compared to $120.0 million for the same period in 2017. Lamar recognized net income of $95.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to net income of $87.2 million for same period in 2017. Net income per diluted share was $0.96 and $0.88 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $195.3 million versus $178.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of 9.5%.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $194.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $8.4 million as compared to the same period in 2017. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $126.0 million as compared to $112.3 million for the same period in 2017, a 12.2% increase.

Acquisition-Adjusted Three Months Results

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 5.6% over Acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2017. Acquisition-adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 6.4% as compared to Acquisition-adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2017. Acquisition-adjusted net revenue and Acquisition-adjusted EBITDA include adjustments to the 2017 period for acquisitions and divestitures for the same time frame as actually owned in the 2018 period. See “Reconciliation of Reported Basis to Acquisition-Adjusted Results”, which provides reconciliations to GAAP for Acquisition-adjusted measures.

Twelve Months Results

Lamar reported net revenues of $1.63 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 versus $1.54 billion for the same period in 2017, a 5.6% increase. Due to non-cash operating expense growth in depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $34.0 million over the same period in 2017, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased only 1.1% to $460.6 million. Due to the above factors and a $15.4 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the prepayment of Lamar Media’s 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 in the first quarter of 2018, Lamar’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased $12.4 million to $305.2 million as compared to $317.7 million for the same period in 2017. Net income per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $3.08 compared to $3.23 for the year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $722.5 million versus $671.4 million for the same period in 2017, a 7.6% increase.

Cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $564.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $507.0 million in the same period in 2017. Free cash flow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 increased 9.5% to $471.1 million as compared to $430.0 million for the same period in 2017.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, FFO was $527.0 million versus $513.0 million for the same period in 2017, a 2.7% increase. AFFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was $544.5 million compared to $496.3 million for the same period in 2017, a 9.7% increase. Diluted AFFO per share increased to $5.50 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $5.05 in the same period in 2017, an increase of 8.9%.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2018, Lamar had $178.3 million in total liquidity that consisted of $156.8 million available for borrowing under its revolving senior credit facility and approximately $21.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. On January 17, 2019, Lamar increased its borrowing capacity under the revolving portion of Lamar Media’s credit facility by an additional $100 million in aggregate principal amount.

Guidance

We expect Diluted AFFO per share for fiscal year 2019 will be between $5.67 and $5.83, representing growth of approximately 3.0% to 6.0% over 2018, with net income per diluted share expected to be between $3.69 and $3.86. See “Supplemental Schedules and Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of GAAP.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following measures that are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”): Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), Free Cash Flow, Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), Diluted AFFO per share, Outdoor Operating Income and Acquisition-Adjusted Results. Our management reviews our performance by focusing on these key performance indicators not prepared in conformity with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP performance indicators are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Our Non-GAAP financial measures are determined as follows:

 

   

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense (income), loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt and investments, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and gain or loss on disposition of assets and investments.

 

   

Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less interest, net of interest income and amortization of deferred financing costs, current taxes, preferred stock dividends and total capital expenditures.

 

   

We use the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition of FFO, which is defined as net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate assets and investments and real estate related depreciation and amortization and including adjustments to eliminate unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

 

   

We define AFFO as FFO before (i) straight-line revenue and expense; (ii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii) non-cash portion of tax provision; (iv) non-real estate related depreciation and amortization; (v) amortization of deferred financing costs; (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt; (vii) non-recurring infrequent or unusual losses (gains); (viii) less maintenance capital expenditures; and (ix) an adjustment for unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

 

   

Diluted AFFO per share is defined as AFFO divided by Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

 

   

Outdoor Operating Income is defined as Operating Income before corporate expenses, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on disposition of assets.

 

   

Acquisition-Adjusted Results adjusts our net revenue, direct and general and administrative expenses, outdoor operating income, corporate expense and EBITDA for the prior period by adding to, or subtracting from, the corresponding revenue or expense generated by the acquired assets or divested before our acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the current period. In calculating Acquisition-Adjusted Results, therefore, we include revenue and expenses generated by assets that we did not own in the prior period but acquired in the current period. We refer to the amount of pre-acquisition revenue and expense generated by or subtracted from the acquired assets during the prior period that corresponds with the current period in which we owned the assets (to the extent within the period to which this report relates) as “Acquisition-Adjusted Results”.

Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, Outdoor Operating Income and Acquisition-Adjusted Results are not intended to replace other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow, FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, FFO, AFFO, Diluted AFFO per share, Outdoor Operating Income and Acquisition-Adjusted Results are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. Specifically, we believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for purposes of decision making and for evaluating our core operating results; (2) Adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the industry to measure operating performance as it excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization, which may vary significantly among companies, depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (3) Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and Diluted AFFO per share each provides investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-over-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature and reflect the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs; (4) Acquisition-Adjusted Results is a supplement to enable investors to compare period-over-period results on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions and divestures, which reflects our core performance and organic growth (if any) during the period in which the assets were owned and managed by us; (5) Free Cash Flow is an indicator of our ability to service debt and generate cash for acquisitions and other strategic

investments; (6) Outdoor Operating Income provides investors a measurement of our core results without the impact of fluctuations in stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and corporate expenses; and (7) each of our Non-GAAP measures provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies.

Our measurement of Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, Outdoor Operating Income and Acquisition-Adjusted Results may not, however, be fully comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, Outdoor Operating Income and Acquisition-Adjusted Results to the most directly comparable GAAP measures have been included herein.

Due to Company’s required adoption of FASB issued Accounting Standard ASC 842, Leases, the majority of our advertising contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019 will no longer meet the criteria of a lease and will be accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue. Due to this transition the Company will be required to capitalize its costs to fulfill its advertising contracts and amortize the costs over the term of the contract.

 

 

The guidance provided above is based on a number of assumptions that management believes to be reasonable and reflect our expectations as of February 2019. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of various factors, and we refer to the cautionary language regarding “forward looking” statements included in the press release when considering this information.
