NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests are reported separately within equity. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial reporting and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025.

Use of Estimates

These consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions deemed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Discontinued Operations

As described in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company classified its Europe-North segment and Latin American businesses as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024, in addition to its business in Spain, which was classified as discontinued operations in 2023.

In accordance with GAAP, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and results of discontinued operations are reported as a separate component of “Consolidated net income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all periods presented, resulting in changes to the presentation of certain prior period amounts. Cash flows from discontinued operations are not reported separately in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, consistent with GAAP requirements.

Refer to Note 2 for additional information on discontinued operations. All other notes to these consolidated financial statements present the results of continuing operations and exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets by assuming conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2026, and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, which amends the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing the project-stage model and requiring capitalization once management authorizes and commits to funding a project and completion is probable. The amendments will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures; however, the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this guidance.

NOTE 2 –DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Dispositions

In 2025, the Company sold, or entered into an agreement to sell, the following businesses, which were classified as discontinued operations as of or prior to December 31, 2024:

On February 5, 2025, the Company sold its businesses in Mexico, Peru and Chile to Global Media US LLC in a simultaneous sign-and-close transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $34.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments, resulting in a gain on sale of$69.9 million. After adjustments, and net of direct transaction costs paid and cash sold with the businesses, net cash proceeds as of September 30, 2025 were$12.3 million. Additionally, the Company is eligible for an additional $1.25 million earn-out, contingent upon the profitability of the sold businesses through December 31, 2026.

On March 31, 2025, the Company sold its Europe-North segment businesses to Bauer Radio Limited, a subsidiary of Bauer Media Group, for an aggregate purchase price of $625.0 million, subject to certain customary adjustments, resulting in a gain on sale of$66.2 million. After adjustments, and net of direct transaction costs paid and cash sold with the businesses, net cash proceeds as of September 30, 2025 were $576.9 million. Also on March 31, 2025, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from this sale to fully prepay the outstanding term loans (the “CCIBV Term Loan Facility”) of Clear Channel International B.V. (“CCIBV”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, along with accrued interest. Refer to Note 5 for additional details.

On September 7, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its business in Spain to Atresmedia Corporación de Medios de Comunicación, S.A. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately €115 million, or approximately $134.9 million based on the prevailing exchange rate as of September 30, 2025, subject to certain customary adjustments. The transaction is expected to close by early 2026, upon satisfaction of regulatory approval. A gain on sale is expected to be recognized upon closing.

On October 1, 2025, the Company sold its business in Brazil to Publibanca Brasil S.A., an affiliate of Eletromidia S.A., for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.0 million, with final net proceeds subject to certain customary adjustments and the payment of transaction-related fees and expenses. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had recorded a cumulative loss of $52.7 million to reduce the carrying value of the Brazil business to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Recorded gains and losses related to these sales are reflected in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), and net cash proceeds received are included in “Proceeds from sales of businesses and/or assets, net of direct costs to sell and cash sold” within investing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

As part of these sales, the Company has agreed to provide certain transitional services to the buyers pursuant to transitional services agreements. Income and expenses related to these services are presented as part of “Loss from continuing operations” in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

The Company operatestwo reportable segments, which it believes best reflect how the Company is currently managed: America and Airports, with remaining operations in Singapore reported as “Other.” The America segment serves markets across the U.S., while the Airports segment offers out-of-home advertising at airports in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

It is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring and other costs. Restructuring and other costs include costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs and other special costs.

The following table presents revenue, significant expenses, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures for each reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Segment information for total assets is not presented as this information is not used by the CODM to measure segment performance or allocate resources between segments.

NOTE 4 –REVENUE

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising on printed and digital out-of-home advertising displays. Certain revenue transactions are considered leases for accounting purposes, as they grant customers the right to control the use of the Company’s advertising displays for a specified period. Revenue from leases is accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, and revenue from remaining transactions is accounted for as revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606.

The following table presents revenue from contracts with customers, revenue from leases and total revenue from continuing operations, disaggregated by geography, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

NOTE 6 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. As required, the Company has accrued estimates for the probable costs of resolving those claims for which loss is deemed probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with the Company’s counsel and are based on an analysis of potential outcomes, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of its litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes, employment and benefits-related claims, land use and zoning disputes, governmental fines, intellectual property claims, personal injury claims and tax disputes.

NOTE 10 –STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense for continuing operations, recognized within “Corporate expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), was $6.3 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $19.1 million and $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Annual Grants

On May 28, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the CCOH Board of Directors approved grants under the Company’s 2012 Third Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) of approximately 18.2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 4.0 million performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain employees as part of their annual compensation.

The RSUs will vest inthree equal annual installments on April 1 of 2026, 2027 and 2028, subject to continued employment on each vesting date.

The PSUs will vest, to the extent earned, following athree-year performance period from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, and are also subject to continued employment through the vesting date. For each grantee,65% of the award vests based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to a designated peer group (“Relative TSR”), and the remaining 35% vests based on the Company’s cumulative Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures (“Cumulative ULFCF”), measured over the performance period against pre-established goals and modified by a multiplier based on the compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of the Company’s stock price over the performance period (“CAGR Multiplier”).

For PSUs that vest based on Relative TSR, payouts range from 0% to 150% of target. Performance at the 25 th, 50 th and 75 th percentiles of the peer group corresponds to payouts of 50%,100% and 150%, respectively, with straight-line interpolation between points. No PSUs will be earned for performance below the 25 th percentile. If TSR is negative over the performance period, the maximum payout is capped at 100%.

For PSUs that vest based on Cumulative ULFCF, payouts also range from 0% to 150% of target, subject to the CAGR Multiplier. Cumulative ULFCF achievement of at least 85%, at least 97% but less than 103%, and 110% or more of the Cumulative ULFCF goal results in payouts of 50%,100% and 150%, respectively, with straight-line interpolation between thresholds. No PSUs will be earned for performance below 85% of the Cumulative ULFCF goal. The resulting vesting level is then adjusted by the CAGR Multiplier as follows:1.5 x for CAGR of +15% or more,1.0 x for CAGR greater than -5% but less than +5%, and 0.5 x for CAGR of -15% or less, with straight-line interpolation between points.

The RSUs and PSUs are subject to accelerated vesting and distribution upon certain qualifying terminations and in connection with a change in control in which the awards are not assumed or substituted, as set forth in the applicable award agreement.

The Company accounts for RSUs and PSUs as equity-classified awards under ASC 718, as follows:

RSUs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Expense for PSUs that vest based on Relative TSR, a market condition, is recognized over the service period regardless of outcome and is based on grant-date fair value determined using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Expense for PSUs that vest based on Cumulative ULFCF, a performance condition modified by the market-based CAGR Multiplier, is recognized only if achievement is considered probable and is reassessed each reporting period. The grant-date fair value of these PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation.

As of September 30, 2025,24,089,137 shares remained available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan, assuming a 100% payout of all outstanding PSUs, including awards granted to employees of discontinued operations.

Treasury Share Settlement of Share-Based Awards

Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, the Company began settling certain share-based compensation awards through the reissuance of treasury shares rather than issuing new shares of common stock. Treasury shares are reissued at historical cost, with the Company applying a last-in, first-out method to determine cost. The related activity is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit and classified as a non-cash financing activity.
