Current report
Six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to six months ended June 30, 2024
Current report
Net revenues increased $21.3 million or 2.0% to $1.08 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.06 billion for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in billboard net revenues of $15.7 million, an increase in transit net revenues of $3.0 million, and an increase in logo net revenues of $2.6 million over the same period in 2024.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, there was a $16.3 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which represents an increase of 1.5%. See "Reconciliations" below. The $16.3 million increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase of $13.6 million in billboard net revenues, an increase of $1.8 million in logo net revenues, and an increase in transit net revenues of $0.9 million over the same period in 2024.
Current report
Total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on disposition of assets and investments, increased $8.7 million, or 1.4%, to $613.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $605.2 million for the same period in 2024. The $8.7 million increase over the prior year is comprised of a $16.6 million increase in total direct, general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) primarily related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets, offset by a $7.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation.
Current report
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.5 million to $155.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $152.4 million for the same period in 2024, primarily related to acquisitions and capital expenditures completed in the last twelve months.

Current report
The increase in operating income, as well as the decrease in interest expense, resulted in a $90.7 million increase in income before income tax expense. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 5.4%, which differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to our qualification for taxation as a REIT and adjustments for foreign items.
Current report

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue adjusts our net revenue for the prior period by adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets before our acquisition of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the current period. In calculating acquisition-adjusted revenue, therefore, we include revenue generated by assets that we did not own in the period but acquired in the current period. We refer to the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the acquired assets during the prior period that corresponds with the current period in which we owned the assets (to the extent within the period to which this report relates) as “acquisition net revenue”. In addition, we also adjust the prior period to subtract revenue generated by the assets that have been divested since the prior period and, therefore, no revenue derived from those assets is reflected in the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are not intended to replace net income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Rather, adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. We believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for purposes of decision-making and for evaluating our core operating results; (2) adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the industry to measure operating performance as depreciation and amortization may vary significantly among companies depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (3) acquisition-adjusted net revenue is a supplement to net revenue to enable investors to compare period-over-period results on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, which reflects our core performance and organic growth (if any) during the period in which the assets were owned and managed by us; (4) adjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO each provide investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature; and (5) each provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies.

Neither FFO nor AFFO represents cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Rather, adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. We believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for purposes of decision-making and for evaluating our core operating results; (2) adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the industry to measure operating performance as depreciation and amortization may vary significantly among companies depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (3) acquisition-adjusted net revenue is a supplement to net revenue to enable investors to compare period-over-period results on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, which reflects our core performance and organic growth (if any) during the period in which the assets were owned and managed by us; (4) adjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO each provide investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature; and (5) each provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies.
