(1)      Cost of revenue – digital media consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party publishers. Media cost is classified as cost of revenue in the period in which the corresponding revenue is recognized. Cost of revenue – television (spectrum usage rights) consists primarily of the carrying value of spectrum usage rights surrendered in the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum.


(2)      Operating expenses include direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.3 million and $0.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, foreign currency (gain) loss, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and other income (loss).


(3)      Corporate expenses include $0.8 million and $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2.3 million and $1.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


(4)      Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our credit facility and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.


(5)      Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, and capital expenditures plus non-cash cost of revenue – spectrum usage rights. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

 

Commenting on the Company's earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the third quarter, we achieved revenue growth driven by increases in our digital media segment attributable to the acquisition of Headway.  This growth in our digital media segment offset decreases in our television and radio segments, which were affected by decreases in local and national advertising revenue and the loss of political advertising revenue compared to 2016.  We also improved our free cash flow and net income over the third quarter of 2016, due primarily to our receipt of proceeds related to our participation in the Federal Communications Commission auction for broadcast spectrum.  We continued to build our digital footprint and, looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in further attracting Latino audiences, expanding our advertiser base to the benefit of our shareholders."

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share of the Company's Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.5 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on December 29, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 14, 2017, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on December 13, 2017. As previously announced, the Company currently anticipates that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis; however, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to approval by the Board.

Acquisition of NBC Affiliate KMIR-TV and MyNetworkTV Affiliate KPSE-LD Serving Palm Springs, California

On November 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of television stations KMIR-TV, the local NBC affiliate, and KPSE-LD, the local MyNetworkTV affiliate, both of which serve the Palm Springs, California area, for an aggregate $21 million

New Univision Agreements

On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into an affiliation agreement which supersedes and replaces the Company's prior affiliation agreements with Univision.  Additionally, on the same date, the Company entered into a new proxy agreement and new marketing and sales agreements with Univision, each of which supersedes and replaces the Company's prior such agreements with Univision.  The term of each of these new agreements expires on December 31, 2026 for all of the Company's Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations, except that each new agreement will expire on December 31, 2021 with respect to the Company's Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations in Orlando, Florida; Tampa, Florida; and Washington, D.C.

Net revenue from advertising increased to $70.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $65.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $5.3 million. Of the overall increase, $11.4 million was attributable to our digital media segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of 100% of the stock of several entities collectively doing business as Headway ("Headway") during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to net revenue in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our radio segment of $2.3 million due primarily to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017. Additionally, the overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our television segment of $3.8 million due primarily to a decrease in local and national revenue and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue.

Net revenue from spectrum usage rights was $263.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. We did not have revenue from spectrum usage rights in 2016.

Cost of revenue related to revenue from spectrum usage rights was $12.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. We did not have revenue from spectrum usage rights in 2016.

Cost of revenue in our digital media segment increased to $9.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $2.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $7.6 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to cost of revenue in prior periods.

Operating expenses increased to $43.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $40.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.8 million. Of the overall increase, $4.3 million was attributable to our digital media segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to operating expenses in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue and a decrease in rent expense.

 Corporate expenses increased to $8.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $5.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.5 million. The increase was primarily due to increases in expenses associated with the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum, salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
