(Bala Cynwyd, Pa. February 8, 2013) Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

Full Year Highlights

David J. Field, President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “Entercom finished 2012 with a solid fourth quarter as Revenues grew by 7% and Adjusted EBITDA increased by 17%. For the year, prudent cost management drove expenses down by 4% and enabled a 15% increase in Adjusted EBITDA on 2% Revenue growth. We enter 2013 with a strong balance sheet, an outstanding lineup of great brands and content, and a powerful array of emerging digital platforms. We are also highly enthused by a number of positive industry developments over the past few months which bolster the industry’s future prospects. Industry research continues to show robust radio listening levels and strong advertiser effectiveness, while recent announcements by Sprint, Nielsen and others reaffirm radio’s importance in today’s media landscape.”

Additional Information

During the quarter, the Company amended its credit facility and lowered the borrowing cost of its Term B loan. In connection with this amendment, the Company wrote-off $0.7 million of existing deferred financing fees.

The Company reduced its outstanding net senior debt by $19.3 million during the quarter. For the year, the Company reduced its outstanding net senior debt by $37.8 million and lowered its leverage ratio to 4.8x. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $8.9 million in cash and $569.9 million of senior debt and senior notes.

During the quarter, the Company made a revision to its previously reported book income tax expense for 2011. This revision was made to correct an error in the accounting treatment of certain items when calculating income tax expense. The adjustment was non-cash, had no impact on the Company’s operating income or statement of cash flows, and the Company believes the change is not material. The revised income tax expense affects both second quarter and full year 2011 results. The financial tables included in this release provide additional detail on the revision.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

It is important to note that station operating income, station expense, corporate expense, same station net revenues, same station expenses, same station operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and free cash flow are not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that these measures are useful as a way to evaluate the Company and the means for management to evaluate our radio stations’ performance and operations. Management believes that these measures are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because they are widely used in the broadcast industry as a measure of a radio company’s operating performance.

Certain adjusted non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this release (e.g., adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share). The adjustments exclude gain/loss on sale of assets, derivative instruments, and investments; non-cash compensation expense, other income, impairment loss and gain/loss on early extinguishment of debt. Management believes these adjusted non-GAAP measures provide useful information to Management and investors by excluding certain income, expenses and gains and losses that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating and financial results. Similarly, Management believes these adjusted measures are a useful performance measure because certain items included in the calculation of net income (loss) may either mask or exaggerate trends in the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Further, the reconciliations corresponding to these adjusted measures, by identifying the individual adjustments, provide a useful mechanism for investors to consider these adjusted measures with some or all of the identified adjustments.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures on an ongoing basis to help track and assess the Company’s financial performance. You, however, should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), operating income, or any other measure for determining our operating performance that is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The accompanying financial tables provide reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures provided in this release.
