NOTE 1 –DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) is a publicly traded company that sells out-of-home advertising on displays it owns or operates, including roadside billboards, street furniture and airport displays, using both digital and printed formats. The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CCO.” References in these financial statements to “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Business Overview

Historically, the Company operated in the U.S. and various international markets. Beginning in 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a review of strategic alternatives for its international businesses as part of a broader strategy to focus on the Company’s more profitable U.S. operations. Since that time, the Company has completed the sale of substantially all of its international businesses and has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its business in Spain.

Business Segments

As of December 31, 2025, the Company operatestwo reportable segments:

America, which includes the Company’s U.S. roadside billboard and street furniture operations, and

Airports, which includes the Company’s U.S. and Caribbean airport advertising operations.

Operations in Singapore are reported as “Other.” Refer to Note 4 for additional information on the Company’s reportable segments.

Prior to December 31, 2024, the Company operated four reportable segments: America, Airports, Europe-North and Europe-South. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the disposition of the Company’s former international segments.

The Company has classified its former Europe-South and Europe-North segments and its Latin American businesses as discontinued operations. The business in Spain is also classified as discontinued operations and remains held for sale as of December 31, 2025.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. Cash flows related to discontinued operations are included within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and are not separately presented. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, all other notes to these consolidated financial statements present the results of continuing operations.

Subsequent Event

On February 9, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an investor consortium. See Note 15, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Preparation of Financial Statements

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company 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.

Foreign Currency

Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the period, while assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within Stockholders’ Deficit on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of cumulative translation adjustments. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded within “Other income (expense), net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP and reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts. These estimates and assumptions impact areas including, among others, goodwill, long-lived assets, leases, income taxes, the allowance for credit losses, compensation and litigation accruals. 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.

A business is classified as held for sale when management commits to a plan to sell the business and the sale is probable within one year, subject to certain exceptions, and the plan of sale is unlikely to change significantly, among other criteria. Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. A business is classified as discontinued when the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on discontinued operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash, primarily related to contractual agreements, is reported in “Other current assets” and “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 14 for a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Financial Instruments

The Company recognizes accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt in its Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying amounts. Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values. Refer to Note 6 for the Company’s fair value measurement of debt.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, either because it has satisfied a performance obligation prior to receiving payment from the customer or has a non-cancelable contract that has been billed in advance in accordance with normal billing terms.

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company evaluates collectability based on a combination of factors. When the Company identifies a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, it records a specific reserve to adjust the receivable to the amount it expects to collect. For all other customers, the Company applies historical write-off rates by aging bucket to estimate expected credit losses.

The Company believes its concentration of credit risk is limited due to its large and diversified customer base across multiple industries.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while expenditures for improvements and betterments are capitalized.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:

Structures —3 to 15 years

Buildings and improvements —10 to 39 years

Furniture and other equipment —3 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements — the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term, including renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised

The Company tests property, plant and equipment for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, its carrying value is written down to fair value.

Refer to Note 10 for additional disclosures about the Company's property, plant and equipment.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of permits, permanent easements, trademarks, and contractual rights related to transit, street furniture and other outdoor advertising.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Finite-lived intangible assets, including permits, trademarks and contractual rights, are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Permits grant the right to operate and maintain advertising structures at specified locations, subject to compliance with local laws and regulations. Their estimated useful lives reflect the expected period of economic benefit from the related advertising location and are generally determined based on the term of the related site lease.

The Company’s trademarks, acquired as part of the separation from iHeartCommunications, Inc. on May 1, 2019, are amortized over their 10-year useful life.

Contractual rights related to transit, street furniture and other outdoor advertising are amortized over the shorter of the agreement term or the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to future cash flows.

The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, the carrying value is written down to fair value.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of permanent easements, which grant certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company. These assets are tested for impairment at least annually, as of July 1, and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Refer to Note 11 for additional disclosures about the Company's intangible assets.

When the Company acquires assets that do not constitute a business for accounting purposes, the purchase price is allocated to the acquired assets based on their estimated relative fair values, typically determined using discounted cash flow valuation methods or estimates of replacement costs. Refer to Notes 10 and 11 for further details on the Company’s asset acquisitions.

The Company records goodwill in conjunction with business combinations. The Company hastwo reporting units with goodwill: America and Airports. Goodwill for these reporting units is tested for impairment annually, as of July 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The carrying amount of each reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared to its fair value. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized, limited to the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

To determine fair value, the Company uses a discounted cash flow model, which requires estimates of future cash flows from each reporting unit, discounted at a risk-adjusted rate. Terminal values are also estimated and discounted to present value. These estimates are based on revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins and discount rates derived from the Company’s budgets and business plans, economic projections and marketplace data.

Refer to Note 11 for additional disclosures about the Company's goodwill.

Leased Assets

The Company enters into contracts to use land, buildings, structures, office space and equipment, as well as contracts that allow it to display advertising on transit, street furniture and other assets. Most of the Company’s advertising structures are located on leased land with initial lease terms that generally extend up to 20 years.

At inception, arrangements involving the use of property, plant and equipment are evaluated to determine whether they meet the definition of a lease under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. Many of the Company’s airport and transit contracts do not meet this definition due to substantive substitution rights within the contracts.

Lease Term and Measurement

Many of the Company’s lease agreements include renewal or termination options. Periods covered by renewal options are included in the lease term only when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options or when the option is controlled by the lessor. Periods covered by termination options are included in the lease term only when the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise such options or when the option is controlled by the lessor.

The implicit rate in most of the Company’s lease agreements is not readily determinable. Accordingly, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to calculate the present value of lease payments at lease commencement. The IBR represents the rate the Company would pay to borrow the same amount on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

Operating Leases

The Company's leases are primarily operating leases, including land leases and contracts for the use of structures. Some lease agreements include fixed rental payments that escalate at a defined rate over the lease term. Certain lease agreements also include variable lease payments, such as amounts based on a percentage of advertising revenue or inflation adjustments. Variable lease payments are classified as variable rent expense and are recognized separately from periodic straight-line lease expense. Rental payments are typically paid in advance.

Operating leases are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Operating lease right-of-use assets,” with related liabilities included in “Current operating lease liabilities” and “Non-current operating lease liabilities.” Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Refer to Note 7 for additional disclosures about the Company’s operating leases.

Finance Leases

Finance leases are included within “Property, plant and equipment” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with related liabilities included in “Current portion of long-term debt” and “Long-term debt.” Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

Rent Abatements and Government Assistance

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company renegotiated certain lease and non-lease arrangements and received rent abatements and related government assistance. The Company applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) April 2020 guidance on rent concessions and accounted for these abatements as reductions of site lease expense. The Company recognized reductions in fixed rent payments of $1.4 million, $10.3 million and $24.9 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Included in these amounts was government assistance totaling $1.1 million in 2025, $9.0 million in 2024 and $10.6 million in 2023, primarily related to the Company’s U.S. airport operations. These reductions in site lease costs were partially offset by variable rent expense, and negotiated deferrals of rent payments did not reduce rent expense.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company estimates its obligation to dismantle and remove its advertising structures from leased land and restore the site to its original condition upon the termination or non-renewal of a lease or contract. Asset retirement obligations are reported in “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company recognizes the present value of these obligations when incurred using estimates of third-party costs for structure dismantling and site reclamation. The liability assumes asset removal will occur over the next 50 years, and the discount rate used to calculate the present value is based on an estimated risk-adjusted credit rate for that period.

When the liability is recognized, the associated cost is capitalized as part of the related advertising structure’s carrying value. Over time, the liability is accreted and recognized as an operating expense, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

Refer to Note 12 for additional disclosures about the Company’s asset retirement obligations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising on printed and digital out-of-home advertising displays, which may be sold as individual units or as network packages. These contracts typically cover periods from a few weeks to one year, though some have longer terms, and are generally cancelable after a specified notice period.

Certain revenue transactions qualify as leases for accounting purposes, as they grant customers the right to control the use of the Company’s advertising displays for a specified period. To qualify as a lease, the contract must depend on a specified advertising structure, the customer must have exclusive use of the display, and the customer must have the right to change the advertisement displayed during the contract term. Transactions that meet the definition of a lease are accounted for under ASC 842, while the Company’s remaining revenue transactions are accounted for as revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606.

Although certain revenue transactions are accounted for under ASC 842 and others under ASC 606, revenue is presented on an aggregate basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), as substantially all revenue is derived from advertising services and the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are substantively the same under both standards.

Revenue from Leases

The Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 842 to combine non-lease components with associated lease components when certain criteria are met. As a result, the right to control the use of an advertising display that meets the lease criteria is combined with related installation and maintenance services into a single lease component. Revenue from advertising arrangements that meet the lease criteria is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the contract term.

Production services, which do not meet the criteria to be combined, and advertising displays within the same contract that do not meet the lease criteria (together with any related installation and maintenance services), are accounted for as non-lease components. Consideration in these arrangements is allocated to lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone selling prices, which are generally approximated by the contractual prices for each service.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Revenue from the sale of advertising is generally recognized ratably over the contract term as the advertising services are provided.

The Company also generates revenue from production and creative services that are distinct from advertising display services. Revenue from these services is recognized when the advertising copy is installed at the display site.

The Company recognizes revenue in amounts that reflect the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for transferring promised out-of-home advertising services to a customer (the “transaction price”), excluding taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities. Because the provision of these services typically occurs within one year of scheduled payment, the time value of money is generally not considered in determining the transaction price.

For contracts that include multiple distinct goods or services, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices. The Company has concluded that the contractual prices specified in its standard contracts generally approximate the best estimate of standalone selling prices, reflecting factors such as audience size and characteristics, market location and size, and recent market pricing.

The Company generally invoices customers monthly in advance in accordance with contractual billing schedules. Deferred revenue is recorded when amounts are billed or received in advance of satisfying performance obligations under the non-cancelable portions of customer contracts.

Refer to Note 5 for additional disclosures about the Company’s revenue.

Contract Costs

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, primarily sales commissions, are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). These costs are generally expensed as incurred because the period of benefit is one year or less.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is included in “Corporate expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

For awards that vest based on service conditions, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards that vest based on performance conditions, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period when it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. For awards that vest based on market conditions, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied.

The determination of the grant-date fair value of certain share-based awards involves assumptions and judgments, including expected volatility, among other factors. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures about the Company’s share-based compensation.

Treasury Share Settlement of Share-Based Awards

In 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.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the differences are expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the asset will not be realized.

If any excess cash held by foreign subsidiaries were required to fund operations in the U.S., the Company could repatriate available funds with minimal U.S. tax consequences, as calculated for tax law purposes. The Company regularly reviews its tax liabilities related to amounts that may be distributed in future periods and provides for any applicable foreign withholding or other current and deferred income taxes.

Refer to Note 9 for additional disclosures about the Company’s income taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update enhances income tax disclosure requirements, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures in the effective tax rate reconciliation and the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company has incorporated these disclosure requirements into its Income Taxes footnote disclosures in Note 9 to these consolidated financial statements. The Company applied these new disclosure requirements retrospectively to all periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregation of certain amounts included in relevant expense captions on the face of the income statement, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. The update also requires a qualitative description of amounts not separately disaggregated and disclosure of total selling expenses. The new disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning in 2027 and interim periods beginning in 2028 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on its disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, 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 effective January 1, 2026 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes the project-stage model for internal-use software and requires capitalization of costs once management authorizes and commits to funding a project and completion is probable. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance and does not currently expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 4 –SEGMENT DATA

Reportable Segments

As described in Note 1, 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., generating over 90% of its revenue from roadside billboard displays, while the Airports segment offers out-of-home advertising at airports in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Other Segment Information

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, for purposes of allocating resources and assessing segment performance. Segment Adjusted EBITDA 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 2025, 2024 and 2023. 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.

These amendments are reflected in the information below.

Size and Availability

The Receivables-Based Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility, with amounts available from time to time (including in respect to letters of credit) equal to the lesser of (a) the borrowing base, which equals 85.0% of the eligible accounts receivable of the borrower and the subsidiary borrowers, subject to customary eligibility criteria minus any reserves, and (b) the aggregate revolving credit commitments, which is$200.0 million. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Receivables-Based Credit Facility. The Receivables-Based Credit Facility includes sub-facilities for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings referred to as the swing line borrowings. In addition, the Receivables-Based Credit Agreement provides that the Company has the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental commitments on terms set forth in the Receivables-Based Credit Agreement.

Interest Rate and Fees

Borrowings under the Receivables-Based Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an amended Applicable Rate (defined therein) plus either: (a) a base rate equal to the highest of: (1) the rate of interest in effect for such date as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate,” (2) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (3)0.00%, and (4) Term SOFR (as defined therein) plus an adjustment for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00%; or (b)(1) a term rate based on Term SOFR plus an adjustment for loans denominated in dollars, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) for loans denominated in Canadian dollars, and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) for loans denominated in euros, or (2) a daily rate based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus an adjustment for loans denominated in pounds sterling.

The Receivables-Based Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Receivables-Based Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and a perfected second priority security interest in the Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral. (The terms “ABL Priority Collateral” and “Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral” are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities section below.)

The Receivables-Based Credit Agreement contemplates that if borrowing availability is less than an amount set forth therein, the Company will be required to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended prior to the occurrence of the Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the Receivables-Based Credit Agreement), and will be required to continue to comply with this minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for a certain period of time until borrowing availability recovers. The fixed charge coverage ratio did not apply for the four quarters ended December 31, 2025 because a Covenant Trigger Period was not in effect.

The Receivables-Based Credit Agreement also includes negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; create liens on assets; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; sell assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; make investments, loans, or advances; prepay certain junior indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements that restrict its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions; and amend or waive organizational documents.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary mandatory prepayments, including with respect to excess cash flow, asset sale proceeds and proceeds from certain incurrences of indebtedness. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by certain existing and wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company. All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets securing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on a pari passu basis with the liens on such assets (other than the assets securing the Company’s Receivables-Based Credit Facility) (such assets, other than accounts receivable and certain other assets, the “Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral”) and a perfected second priority security interest in all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets securing the Receivables-Based Credit Facility on a first-priority basis (the “ABL Priority Collateral”).

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains a springing financial covenant which is applicable solely to the Revolving Credit Facility.

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.

Other Contingencies

In various areas in which the Company operates, out-of-home advertising is the object of restrictive and, in some cases, prohibitive zoning and other regulatory provisions, either enacted or proposed. The impact to the Company of loss of displays due to governmental action has been somewhat mitigated by Federal and state laws mandating compensation for such loss and constitutional restraints.

NOTE 9 –INCOME TAXES

Components of Income Tax Benefit (Expense) Attributable to Continuing Operations

The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) attributable to continuing operations for 2025, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following components:

(In thousands)Year Ended December 31,
202520242023

Total deferred income tax benefit (expense) attributable to continuing operations(2,865)12,64328,877
Income tax benefit (expense) attributable to continuing operations$(4,947)$9,365$23,679

The Company recognized income tax expense attributable to continuing operations of $4.9 million in 2025 and income tax benefits attributable to continuing operations of $9.4 million and $23.7 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. In each of these years, the tax results were significantly impacted by changes in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets, primarily related to interest expense carryforwards, due to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to realize those assets in future periods. In 2025, increases in the valuation allowance contributed to deferred tax expense, which, together with current income tax expense, resulted in an overall income tax expense. In 2024 and 2023, deferred federal income tax benefits were partially offset by valuation allowance adjustments, resulting in net income tax benefits in those periods.

The effective tax rates for continuing operations of (5.0)%,7.0% and 12.9% in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were primarily driven by changes in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets related to interest expense carryforwards, as well as the impact of state and local income taxes and share-based compensation.

Deferred Taxes

Significant components of deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Net deferred tax liabilities$221,616$221,814

(1)Includes intangible assets that are categorized as indefinite-lived for financial reporting purposes, such as permanent easements and tax-deductible goodwill, which will not reverse over time unless the Company recognizes future impairment charges or disposes of these assets.

(2)Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the deductibility of business interest expense and provides that disallowed interest expense may be carried forward indefinitely. In applying the rules under Section 163(j), the Company made the election to be considered an operator of a “real property trade or business” and therefore records a carryforward deferred tax asset for federal and state purposes related to interest expense limitations on its non-real property assets.

(3)At December 31, 2025, the Company had deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards (tax-effected) of $73.9 million for federal and state income tax purposes and $26.7 million for foreign jurisdictions. Federal and certain state net operating loss carryforwards may be carried forward indefinitely, while remaining state losses expire at various dates through 2045. Foreign loss carryforwards may generally be carried forward without expiration. The realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income in the applicable jurisdictions before expiration.

Valuation Allowance and Realization

In assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers both negative and positive evidence. Negative evidence includes cumulative historical losses in certain jurisdictions, while positive evidence includes the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities in the same jurisdictions and periods and of the appropriate tax character. Deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite-lived intangible assets are not relied upon as a source of future taxable income in the Company’s valuation allowance assessment.

Based on this assessment, the Company has recorded valuation allowances on deferred tax assets that it does not expect to realize, primarily related to interest expense carryforwards. At December 31, 2025, valuation allowances totaled $183.1 million, including $156.5 million related to U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and $26.7 million for foreign jurisdictions.

Income Taxes Paid

Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, attributable to continuing operations for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

NOTE 13 –STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Company grants equity incentive awards to executive officers and other eligible participants under the 2012 Third Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The Stock Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance-based cash and stock awards to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, consultants or advisors. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 24,603,057 shares available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan, assuming a 100% payout of the Company’s outstanding performance stock units. The shares available for issuance reflect shares granted to all employees, including those of the Company’s discontinued operations.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Share-based compensation expense for continuing operations, which is recognized within “Corporate expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), was as follows:

(In thousands)Year Ended December 31,
202520242023
Restricted stock units and awards(1)$17,375$16,987$12,879
Performance stock units8,0995,9584,537
Stock options—131131
Total share-based compensation expense$25,474$23,076$17,547

(1)For 2023, this expense relates to both restricted stock units and restricted stock awards. For 2024 and 2025, the expense is solely related to restricted stock units, as all restricted stock awards had vested as of December 31, 2023.

The tax benefit related to the share-based compensation expense for continuing operations for 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $6.6 million, $6.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $20.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vest based on service conditions. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximatelytwo years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its equity incentive plan. RSUs generally represent the right to receive shares upon vesting or, in some instances, may be settled in cash equal to the fair market value of the number of vested shares at the election of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, and generally vest ratably in annual increments over athree-year period. RSUs are forfeited, except in certain circumstances, in the event the grantee terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company prior to vesting.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2025, and related activity during the year:

(Shares in thousands)Number of RSUsWeighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Outstanding, December 31, 202527,921$1.18

(1)Excludes RSUs granted to employees of discontinued operations.

(2)The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the Company’s RSUs granted during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $1.09, $1.58 and $1.32 per share, respectively.

Performance Stock Units

The Company grants performance stock units (“PSUs”) under its equity incentive plan. PSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, which vest and become earned based on the achievement of certain performance goals.

For PSUs granted in 2023 and 2024, if the Company achieves total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the Company’s peer group (“Relative TSR”) over athree-year performance period at the 75 th percentile or higher, the PSUs will be earned at 150% of the target number of shares; if the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 50 th percentile, the PSUs will be earned at 100% of the target number of shares; if the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 25 th percentile, the PSUs will be earned at 50% of the target number of shares; and if the Company achieves Relative TSR below the 25 th percentile, no PSUs will be earned. To the extent Relative TSR is between achievement levels, the portion of the PSUs that is earned will be determined using straight-line interpolation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company’s absolute total shareholder return over the performance period is less than 0%, the maximum payout shall not be greater than 100% of the target number of shares.

In 2024, certain executive officers of the Company received one-time PSU awards, totaling 6.1 million in aggregate. The PSUs are eligible to vest and become earned shares in one-third increments based on achievement of specified stock price performance hurdles of $2.50, $3.25 and $4.25 during thefour-year period, subject to additional service-based vesting conditions set forth in the applicable award agreement. The maximum number of shares that may be earned with respect to these PSUs is 100% of the PSUs granted. The PSUs are subject to accelerated vesting and distribution upon certain qualifying terminations and in connection with a change in control, as set forth in the applicable award agreement.

PSUs granted in 2025 will vest, to the extent earned, following athree-year performance period, subject to continued employment through the vesting date. For each grantee,65% of the award vests based on 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 the percentage of 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 the percentage of 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.

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

The TSR performance metric and the CAGR Multiplier are considered market conditions under ASC 718. Accordingly, the effect of these market conditions is reflected in the grant-date fair value of the applicable PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following assumptions were used to calculate the grant-date fair value of the Company’s PSUs:

(3)Forfeitures include the PSUs granted in 2022 that were not earned based on Relative TSR performance over the applicable three-year performance period.

Stock Options

The Company historically granted options to purchase shares of its common stock under its equity incentive plan, with exercise prices set at no less than the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date. All outstanding options are fully vested and exercisable, and are generally forfeited if the recipient terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company or its affiliates. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The equity incentive plan contains anti-dilutive provisions that permit adjustments due to changes in capitalization.
