Current report
In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. We believe the continued evolution of out-of-home advertising audience measurement systems, including Geopath and alternative measurement systems, can enhance the value of the out-of-home medium, including transit inventory, by improving audience measurement and enabling more precise demographic and location-based targeting. As part of our investments in our technology platform, we are developing digital out-of-home offerings and capabilities that support full-funnel advertising objectives, including end-to-end campaign processing and automation, research and measurement, and demographic and location-based targeting.
Current report
On June 23, 2025, we announced a restructuring and reduction in force plan (the “Plan”) intended to achieve the Company’s strategic goals of increasing sales demand, enhancing customer experience, optimizing internal cost efficiencies, and realigning its organization. The Plan provided for a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 120 employees, or 6% of the Company’s total employees as of June 23, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, all reductions have been completed. In 2025, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $20.1 million associated with the Plan, consisting of severance payments, employee benefits and related costs (including approximately $2.2 million in non-cash charges for stock-based compensation), and professional fees. In 2025, restructuring charges of $8.4 million were recorded in Billboard, $3.7 million were recorded in Transit and $8.0 million were recorded in Corporate. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $6.6 million in restructuring reserves related to severance payments, employee benefits and related costs remained outstanding and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Plan. (See Item 8., Note 13. Restructuring Charges to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Further, we believe the use of programmatic and direct sale advertising platform technologies in the out-of-home advertising industry will increase, which will present a revenue growth opportunity for us. Programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms allow out-of-home advertising companies to lease displays to customers at competitive rates through an online bidding process or through a direct sale process, and we have pursued, and continue to pursue, strategic opportunities to increase our participation in these platforms.

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 and/or the failure to recoup any deployment cost spending.

Previous report
On April 20, 2020, we issued 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share.

Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until April 20, 2028, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not, without the consent of a specified percentage of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-month period.

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. Our inventory consists of billboard displays primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. In total, we have displays in approximately 120 markets across the U.S., including the 25 largest markets in the U.S. Our top market, location-focused portfolio includes sites in and around New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, where public spaces can turn into platforms for creativity, connection and cultural relevance. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives by elevating brand influence and credibility through enterprise or commercial brand-building campaigns.

We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are always viewable and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective “stand-alone” medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign to reach audiences using multiple forms of media, including television, radio, print, online, mobile and social media advertising platforms. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, print production, creative services and post-campaign tracking and analytics.

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.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging messages, provide our customers with the flexibility both to target audiences and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print production and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four to five times more revenue per display on average than comparable traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to four times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than comparable traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than comparable traditional static billboard displays.

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our traditional contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit display revenues are recognized based on the level of units displayed in proportion to the total units to be displayed over the contract period. 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 Item 8., Note 12. Revenues to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Billboard property lease expenses represented 34% of total billboard revenues in 2024, 35% in 2023 and 33% in 2022. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of total billboard revenues in 2024 compared to 2023 is primarily due to lower variable billboard property lease costs driven by higher relative 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 Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the impact of new and lost locations, including through acquisitions. The increase in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of total billboard revenues in 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to an increase in variable billboard property lease expenses (see Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements), which are primarily attributable to total billboard revenue increases in large markets and high profile locations, and the impact of new locations, including through acquisitions.
Current wording
Billboard property lease expenses represented 24% of total revenues in 2025 and 26% in 2024.

SG&A expenses represented 24% of Revenues in each of 2024, 2023 and 2022. SG&A expenses increased $18.2 million, or 4%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including salaries, commissions and severance, higher professional fees, as a result of a management consulting project and higher rent related to new offices, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction. SG&A expenses increased $7.6 million, or 2%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees, higher professional fees, rent related to new offices, higher insurance costs and a higher provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by lower compensation-related expenses. We continue to evaluate methods to lower SG&A expense growth.
Current wording
SG&A expenses represented 24% of Revenues in each of 2025 and 2024. SG&A expenses decreased $6.2 million, or 1%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the impact of the Transaction, lower credit card usage by customers, lower rent related to new offices in the first half of 2024 and lower compensation-related expenses, including severance and salaries, partially offset by higher professional fees, as a result of a management consulting project, and higher travel and entertainment expenses. We expect to realize the cost savings benefits from the Plan within SG&A expenses. However, those cost savings may potentially be offset by increases in SG&A expenses in future periods as we continue to invest in our strategic initiatives, including technology enhancements and customer experience improvements.

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation and impairment charges.

Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. 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.

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 for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

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 expect lost billboards to continue to adversely impact Billboard segment revenue performance in the first half of 2026, particularly in the Los Angeles metropolitan areas. We generated approximately 39% in 2025 and 40% in 2024 of our Billboard segment revenues from enterprise (formerly known as national) advertising campaigns.

We updated our MTA projections at year end due to the strong performance during 2025. As a result of the increase in revenue driven by 2025 performance, we currently expect to recoup a portion of spending from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA within the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As such, beginning in 2026, the portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA will be recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
