Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

LBI Media, Inc. (“LBI Media”), a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LBI Media Holdings, Inc. (“LBI Media Holdings”), held a conference call on March 7, 2011 to discuss its financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2010. LBI Media was also available to answer questions during the conference call. The transcript from the conference call is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto is being furnished (not filed) under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. The transcript has been selectively edited to facilitate the understanding of the information communicated during the conference call.

During the conference call, LBI Media used the term “Adjusted EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income or loss less discontinued operations, net of income taxes, plus income tax expense or benefit, gain or loss on sale and disposal of property and equipment, net interest expense, interest rate swap expense or income, impairment of broadcast licenses and long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of equity method investment and equity in gain or loss of equity method investment. The term, as defined by LBI Media, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

The management of LBI Media considers the measure an important indicator of its financial performance, as it eliminates the effects of the company’s discontinued operations, certain non-cash items and the company’s capital structure. Additionally, it provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations and its historical ability to service debt. The measure 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 GAAP, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income or loss and net income or loss.

LBI Media believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating its financial performance because:

 

   

it is widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a company’s financial performance without regard to items such as net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of broadcast licenses and long-lived assets, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, financing methods, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

 

   

it gives investors another measure to evaluate and compare the results of LBI Media’s operations from period to period by removing the impact of its discontinued operations, capital structure (such as net interest expense and net interest rate swap expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization and impairment of broadcast licenses) and actions that do not affect liquidity (such as stock-based compensation expense) from its operating results; and

 

   

it helps investors identify items that are within the company’s operational control. For example, depreciation and amortization charges, while a component of operating income, are fixed at the time of the asset purchase in accordance with the depreciable lives of the related asset and as such are not a directly controllable period operating charge.


LBI Media’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

 

   

as a measure of operating performance because it assists us in comparing its financial performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of its discontinued operations, capital structure, asset base and actions that do not affect liquidity from its operating results;

 

   

as a measure to assist LBI Media in evaluating and planning its acquisition strategy;

 

   

in presentations to LBI Media’s board of directors to enable them to have the same consistent measurement basis of financial performance used by management;

 

   

as a measure for determining LBI Media’s operating budget and its ability to fund working capital; and

 

   

as a measure for planning and forecasting capital expenditures.

The table set forth below reconciles net (loss) income, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA:
