NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation:
- -------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed
financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2001.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company for
the periods presented. Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
NOTE 2 - Accounting Change - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142")
(collectively, the "Statements"). SFAS 141 supercedes APB Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations" and requires all business combinations to be accounted
for under the purchase method. SFAS 142 primarily addresses the accounting for
goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The
provisions of SFAS 142 (1) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets, (2) require that goodwill and indefinite -
lived intangible assets be tested annually for impairment, (3) require that
reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing potential future
impairments of goodwill, and (4) remove the forty-year limitation on the
amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives. The Company
adopted these Statements, as required, on January 1, 2002.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company completed its transitional
impairment testing of intangible assets during the first quarter of 2002. The
outcome of such impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the
Company's intangible assets were in excess of their carrying value.
Intangible assets subject to amortization primarily consists of network
affiliation agreements that are being amortized on an accelerated basis over
periods ranging from 4 to 20 years with a weighted-average amortization period
of approximately 8 years. At September 30, 2002, the Company's amortizable
intangible assets gross value was approximately $29.3 million with accumulated
amortization of approximately $19.1 million. The Company's estimated aggregate
amortization expense for fiscal year 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are $1.8
million, $1.5 million, $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $.9 million, respectively.
The following table provides a reconciliation of reported net income for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 to net income that
would have been reported had SFAS No. 142 been applied as of January 1, 2001:

Reported net income $10,181 $26,913

As adjusted $0.20 $0.54
Diluted:
As reported $0.09 $0.24
Goodwill amortization 0.10 0.28
As adjusted $0.19 $0.52
NOTE 3 - Net Earnings Per Share:
- --------------------------------
Net earnings per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128. Basic
earnings per share excludes all dilution and is calculated using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that would occur if all financial instruments
which may be exchanged for equity securities were exercised or converted to
Common Stock.
The Company has issued options and warrants which may have a dilutive
effect on reported earnings if they were exercised or converted to Common Stock.
The following numbers of shares related to options and warrants that were added
to the basic weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at the diluted
weighted average shares outstanding for each period:

NOTE 5 - Related Party Transactions:
- ------------------------------------
The Company is managed by Infinity Broadcasting Corporation ("Infinity"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Viacom Inc. ("Viacom"), pursuant to an amended
Management Agreement which expires on March 31, 2009.
The Company amended its Representation, Registration Rights, License and
Programming Agreements with Infinity on April 15, 2002 to principally extend the
expiration dates of those agreements to March 31, 2009 from March 31, 2004.
The amendment to the Management Agreement, which was approved by
shareholders on May 29, 2002, provides for the issuance of warrants to purchase
up to 4.5 million shares of the Company's Common Stock at exercise prices based
on a formula tied to the Company's future stock price.
For a more detailed description of the amendments made to the Infinity
Management Agreement and Representation, Registration Rights, License and
Programming Agreements with Infinity, refer to the Company's April 29, 2002
proxy statement.
In 2002, the Company repurchased warrants representing 2 million shares of
Common Stock for $51.1 million.
NOTE 6 - Share Repurchase Program:
- ----------------------------------
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company purchased
approximately 5.9 million shares of Common Stock and warrants for approximately
$183.5 million under its stock repurchase program, of which $47.2 million was
spent in the third quarter for approximately 1.4 million shares of Common Stock.
On September 25, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional
authorization to buy back up to $250 million of the Company's Common Stock.
NOTE 7 - Subsequent Event:
- --------------------------
The Company intends to raise $200 million in a private offering of a
combination of 7 and 10 year senior unsecured notes by the beginning of December
2002. Proceeds from the planned offering will be used to repay outstanding
borrowings under its current bank facility. The notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 141 and SFAS 142. The
Statements prohibit retroactive application, and accordingly several comparisons
to prior year reported amounts are not meaningful. As a result, the Company has
included pro forma disclosures to compare the current year operating results to
those that would have been reported had the Statements been applied as of
January 1, 2001.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED
WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
- ------------------------------------------
Westwood One derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of
advertising time to advertisers. Net revenue increased $9,846, or 7.9%, to
$133,829 in the third quarter of 2002 from $123,983 in the comparable prior year
quarter. The increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to higher
advertising rates and better inventory management at both our network and
traffic divisions, higher revenue associated with the Company's broadcast of the
NFL as well as a result of creating new programming. The Company's third quarter
2001 revenues were also adversely affected by lost revenue from the cancellation
and rescheduling of programming and advertiser commitments due to the events of
September 11.
Operating costs and expenses excluding depreciation and amortization
increased $3,085 or 3.8%, to $85,268 in the third quarter of 2002 from $82,183
in the third quarter of 2001. The increase was due principally to costs
associated with new programming and higher sports rights fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $14,136, or 83.1%, to
$2,879 in the third quarter of 2002 as compared with $17,015 in the third
quarter of 2001. The decrease is principally attributable to the Company's
adoption of SFAS 142, which prohibits the Company from continuing to amortize
goodwill.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $528, or 31.5%, to
$2,202 in the third quarter of 2001 from $1,674 in the comparable 2001 quarter.
The increase is principally attributable to higher management incentive
compensation.
Operating income increased $20,369, or 88.1%, to $43,480 in the third
quarter of 2002 from $23,111 in the third quarter of 2001, primarily due to
higher net revenue as well as lower depreciation and amortization expense
resulting from the Company's adoption of SFAS 142. On a pro forma basis,
assuming the Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2001,
the Company's operating income increased approximately 25.5%.
Interest expense decreased 18.9% to $1,682 in the third quarter of 2002
from $2,075 in the third quarter of 2001. The decrease is principally
attributable to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher debt levels.
Income taxes increased $4,193 or 38.4%, to $15,123 in the third quarter of
2002 from $10,930 in the third quarter of 2001. The Company's effective income
tax rate in the first nine months of 2002 is approximately 36.5% compared with a
51.4% effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2001. Both the Company's
reported income tax expense and effective income tax rate were affected by the
Company's adoption of SFAS 142. On a pro forma basis, assuming the Company had
adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2001, income tax expense would
have increased by approximately 31.2% and the Company's effective income tax
rate would have been approximately 35.3% in the first nine months of 2001.
Principally, all of the 2002 income tax expense is non-cash as a result of tax
deductions related to stock option exercises and warrant purchases.
Net income increased $16,521, or 162.3%, to $26,702 ($.25 per basic and
diluted share) in the third quarter of 2002 from $10,181 ($.10 per basic share
and $.09 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2001. On a pro forma basis,
assuming the Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2001,
the Company's net income would have increased by approximately 28.0%, net income
per basic share would have increased by approximately 26.5% and net income per
diluted share would have increased by approximately 29.2%.
Weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2002 were
105,962 basic shares and 108,815 diluted shares as compared with 106,852 basic
shares and 111,165 diluted shares in the third quarter of 2001, a decrease of
..8% for basic shares and 2.1% for diluted shares. The decrease is primarily
attributable to the Company's stock repurchase program.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED
WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
- -----------------------------------------
Net revenue for the first nine months of 2002 increased 5.7% to $400,937
from $379,236 in the first nine months of 2001. The increase in net revenue was
attributable to higher advertising rates and better inventory management at both
our network and traffic divisions, the exclusive radio broadcast of the Winter
Olympics from Salt Lake City and as a result of new programming, including The
Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly.
Operating costs and expenses excluding depreciation and amortization
increased 1.7% to $263,815 in the first nine months of 2002 from $259,339 in the
comparable 2001 period. The increase was principally due to broadcast rights
fees and other related costs associated with the Company's exclusive radio
broadcast of the Winter Olympics, higher bad debt expense, new program costs and
higher sports rights fees, partially offset by reductions in affiliate
compensation and personnel costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 83.2% to $8,580 in the
first nine months of 2002 as compared with $51,131 in the first nine months of
2001. The decrease is principally attributable to the Company's adoption of SFAS
142, which prohibits the Company from continuing to amortize goodwill.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 12.5% to $6,003 in
the first nine months of 2002 from $5,338 in the comparable 2001 period. The
increase is principally attributable to higher management incentive
compensation.
Operating income increased $59,111, or 93.2%, to $122,539 in the first nine
months of 2002 from $63,428 in the comparable 2001 period primarily due to
higher net revenue and lower depreciation and amortization expense resulting
from the adoption of SFAS 142. On a pro forma basis, assuming the Company had
adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2001, the Company's operating
income increased approximately 24.8%.
Interest expense decreased 27.0% to $5,117 in the first nine months of 2002
from $7,010 in the comparable 2001 period. The decrease is principally
attributable to lower interest rates.
Other income in the first nine months of 2002 was $103 compared with other
expense of $1,005 in the comparable 2001 period, an increase of $1,108. The 2001
expense is principally attributable to a 2001 non-cash charge to write-down the
carrying value of the Company's investments in internet companies, principally
Sportsline USA, to its estimated market value.
Net income increased 177.3% to $74,619 ($.70 per basic share and $.68 per
diluted share) in the first nine months of 2002 from $26,913 ($.25 per basic
share and $.24 per diluted share) in the comparable 2001 period. On a pro forma
basis, assuming the Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1,
2001, the Company's net income would have increased approximately 28.0%, net
income per basic share would have increased by approximately 29.5% and net
income per diluted share would have increased by approximately 31.0%.
Weighted average shares outstanding for the first nine months of 2002 were
106,447 basic shares and 109,638 diluted shares as compared with 107,698 basic
shares and 112,219 diluted shares in the first mine months of 2001. The decrease
in shares was primarily attributable to the Company's stock repurchase program.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
At September 30, 2002, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $8,832,
an increase of $4,323 from December 31, 2001.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net cash provided by
operating activities was $125,601 as compared with $124,579 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $1,022. The cash flow from operations
was principally used to fund the Company's stock buy-back program.
At September 30, 2002, the Company had available borrowings of $78,000 on
its revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, the amount
of available borrowings declines by $6,000 at the end of each quarter in 2002.
In addition, the Company is required to repay its term loan by $3,750 per
quarter in 2002. The Company has paid all term loan installments which were due
in 2002. The Company intends to raise $200,000 in a private offering of a
combination of 7 and 10 year senior unsecured notes by the beginning of December
2002. Proceeds from the planned offering will be used to repay outstanding
borrowings under its current bank facility. The notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.
The Company has used its available cash and bank borrowings to repurchase
its Common Stock and warrants. In the nine month period ended September 30,
2002, the Company repurchased approximately 5,887 shares of Common Stock and
warrants at a cost of approximately $183,494. In October 2002, the Company
repurchased an additional 539 shares of Common Stock at a cost of approximately
$19,217.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- -----------------------
The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report
and concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which this quarterly report is being prepared.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
