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., issued a press release and held a conference call on August 19, 2011. The press release announced its consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. During the conference call, LBI Media discussed these results. LBI Media was also available to answer questions during the conference call. The press release and the transcript of the conference call are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 respectively, and are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto are 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.

In the press release and during the conference call, LBI Media used the term “Adjusted EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income or loss plus income tax expense or benefit, gain or loss on sale and disposal of property and equipment, net interest expense and other income, interest rate swap expense or income, depreciation and amortization, impairment of broadcast licenses and long-lived assets and stock-based compensation expense. 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 this measure an important indicator of its financial performance, as it eliminates the effects of certain of the company’s non-cash items and the company’s capital structure. In addition, it provides useful information to investors regarding the company’s financial condition and results of operations and the company’s 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 and depreciation, 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 LBI Media’s capital structure (such as net interest expense and net interest rate swap expense), asset base (such as depreciation) and actions that do not affect liquidity (such as stock-based compensation expense) from LBI Media’s operating results; and

 

   

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

LBI Media’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

 

   

as a measure of operating performance because it assists LBI Media in comparing its financial performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of LBI Media’s 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.
