Previous wording

COVID-19 pandemic, industry shutdowns or slowdowns (including due to labor strikes), and shifts in market demographics and transportation patterns (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences due to remote work, safety concerns or otherwise), as described in this MD&A. These sensitivities may adversely impact our revenues and operating results on a consolidated basis and/or may have a disproportionate adverse impact on our U.S. transit business within our U.S. Media reportable segment.

Current wording

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary price increases, changes in governmental fiscal and trade policies (such as tariffs), pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic, industry shutdowns or slowdowns (including due to labor strikes), extraordinary weather events (such as hurricanes and wildfires), and shifts in market demographics and transportation patterns (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences due to remote work, safety concerns or otherwise), among other things. These sensitivities may adversely impact our revenues and operating results on a consolidated basis and/or may have a disproportionate adverse impact on our Transit segment.

Previous wording

We rely on third parties to manufacture and transport our digital displays. As a result of the current market-wide supply shortages and logistics disruptions, we have experienced delays and price increases with respect to certain of our digital displays, which may continue throughout 2024, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current wording

We rely on third parties to manufacture, transport and install our digital displays, and provide programmatic and direct sale advertising platform technologies for our digital display inventory. Historically, we have experienced delays and price increases with respect to certain of our digital displays due to external events beyond our control. If we experience delays and/or price increases in the future, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

Due to the current levels of inflation and commodity prices in the U.S. and abroad, which has resulted in elevated interest rates, we have experienced increases with respect to some of our posting, maintenance and other expenses, some of our corporate expenses, and our interest expense, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our billboard property lease expenses and transit franchise expenses have been less impacted by the current levels of inflation due to the long-term nature of most of our operating leases and transit franchise agreements. However, our transit franchise agreements that contain inflationary price adjustments may cause increases in our transit franchise expenses in the near-term. Though the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the current levels of inflation on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, a portion of these increases may be partially offset by increases in advertising rates on our displays and cost efficiencies.

Current wording

Historically, we have experienced inflationary increases with respect to some of our posting, maintenance and other expenses, some of our corporate expenses, and our interest expense. Our billboard property lease expenses and transit franchise expenses have been less impacted by inflation due to the long-term nature of most of our operating leases and transit franchise agreements. However, our transit franchise agreements that contain inflationary price adjustments may cause increases in our transit franchise expenses in the over the remaining terms of the agreements. Though the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of inflationary increases on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, a portion of these increases may be fully or partially offset by increases in advertising rates on our displays and cost efficiencies.

Billboard display and Transit display revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are recognized as rental income as the related advertisement is displayed. Billboard and Transit display revenues derived from impression-based sales contracts fulfilled on direct sales advertising platforms are recognized as revenue over the contract period based pro-rata on the number of impressions delivered in proportion to the total number of impressions to be delivered. Revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are based on agreements with the platforms, rather than direct contracts with individual advertisers. (See Note 11.

Billboard property lease expenses represented 33% of billboard revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 34% in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of billboard revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily due to lower variable billboard property lease costs driven by higher revenue performance in advertising markets that have lower variable billboard property lease costs and lower revenue performance in advertising markets that have higher variable billboard property lease costs, partially offset by the impact of new locations, including through acquisitions. Billboard property lease expenses represented 34% of billboard revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 35% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of billboard revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily due to lower variable billboard property lease costs driven by higher revenue performance in advertising markets that have lower variable billboard property lease costs and lower revenue performance in advertising markets that have higher variable billboard property lease costs (see Note 5.

SG&A expenses increased $3.4 million, or 3%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including salaries and commissions, the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees and higher professional fees, as a result of a management consulting project, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction and a lower provision for doubtful accounts. SG&A expenses increased $16.5 million, or 5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including salaries and commissions, higher professional fees, as a result of a management consulting project, the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees and higher rent related to new offices, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction. We continue to evaluate methods to lower SG&A expense growth.

As a result of negative aggregate cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in those periods for a total of $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment charges recorded during 2024 represented additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our analysis performed as of September 30, 2024, resulted in positive aggregate cash flows in excess of the carrying value of our MTA asset group. As such, no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $12.1 million, representing additional MTA equipment deployment costs spending during the quarter, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $523.5 million, primarily representing $455.2 million of impairment charges related to our MTA asset group (see Note 4.

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on non-real estate assets, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

We are also obligated to deploy certain additional digital advertising screens and MTA communications displays in subway and train stations and rolling stock that the MTA may build or acquire in the future (collectively, the “New Inventory”).

Previous wording

•Recoupment of Equipment Deployment Costs. We may retain incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount for the cost of deploying advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system. As presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including impairment charges (see Note 4. Intangible Assetsto the Consolidated Financial Statements). If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which are deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, will be paid directly by the MTA. For any deployment costs deemed authorized after December 31, 2020, the MTA and the Company will no longer be obligated to directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, and these costs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, we currently do not expect to recoup any equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement. We expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $50.0 million in 2024. After 2024, we expect MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement and encompass replacement costs. Accordingly, we expect annual MTA equipment deployment costs after 2024 to be significantly below prior year levels as we have substantially completed our initial deployment during 2024.

Recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including impairment charges (see Note 4. Intangible Assetsto the Consolidated Financial Statements). If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which are deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, will be paid directly by the MTA. For any deployment costs deemed authorized after December 31, 2020, the MTA and the Company will no longer be obligated to directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, and these costs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, we currently do not expect to recoup any equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement. We expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $35.0 million in 2025. We expect MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement and encompass replacement costs. Accordingly, we expect annual MTA equipment deployment costs will decline now that we have substantially completed our initial deployment during 2024.

Previous wording

We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund equipment deployment costs over the next couple of years. However, given the current levels of inflation and related economic environment, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of September 30, 2024, we have issued surety bonds in favor of the MTA totaling approximately $136.0 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. As indicated in the table below, we incurred $24.5 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (which includes equipment deployment costs related to future deployments), for a total of $604.1 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date. As of September 30, 2024, 25,345 digital displays had been installed, composed of 5,008 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, 14,548 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock and 5,789 MTA communications displays. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, 1,374 installations occurred, for a total of 5,648 installations in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, we had Intangible assets related to franchise agreements balance related to the MTA Agreement of $13.9 million. As of March 31, 2025, 27,033 digital displays had been installed, composed of 4,998 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, 15,664 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock and 6,371 MTA communications displays. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, 788 installations occurred.

Previous wording

MTA performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was slightly better than the expectations and assumptions included in our year-end 2023 model and our current long-term assumptions continue to be in line with our year-end 2023 model. As a result of negative aggregate cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in those periods for a total of $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment charges recorded during 2024 represented additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our analysis performed as of September 30, 2024, resulted in positive aggregate cash flows in excess of the carrying value of our MTA asset group. As such, no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024. (See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this MD&A and Note 4. Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) We currently expect positive aggregate cash flows on an undiscounted basis from the fourth quarter of 2024 through to the end of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. If our MTA performance continues to be in line with, or better than, our current model, we would not expect to incur additional impairment charges on our MTA equipment deployment cost spending. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Current wording

As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed a quarterly impairment analysis on the MTA asset group during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million for the quarter. The impairment charge recorded during 2024 represented additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the three months ended March 31, 2024. No impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We currently expect positive aggregate cash flows on an undiscounted basis through to the end of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. If our MTA performance continues to be in line with, or better than, our current model, we would not expect to incur additional impairment charges on our MTA equipment deployment cost spending. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

On November 12, 2024, we announced that our board of directors approved a special dividend of $0.75 per share on our common stock payable on December 31, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 15, 2024. Approximately $0.30 per share will be paid in cash (exclusive of cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) and approximately $0.45 per share will be paid in shares of our common stock. Stockholders will have the option to elect to receive their special dividend in all cash or all stock, however the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed will be equal to approximately $49.8 million, with the balance of the special dividend payable in the form of our common stock.
