Lamar Advertising Company Announces

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2020 Operating Results

Three Month Results

Six Month Results

Baton Rouge, LA – August 6, 2020 - Lamar Advertising Company (Nasdaq: LAMR), a leading owner and operator of outdoor advertising and logo sign displays, announces the Company’s operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

“As we anticipated, business picked up during the quarter as stay-at-home orders were lifted, drivers hit the roads and many businesses reopened. As we put concerns about the size of the OOH audience in the rear-view mirror, our customers began to spend again. This recovery in contract activity continued into the third quarter, and although the second surge of COVID-19 cases has taken a little wind out of our sails, we remain cautiously optimistic about the revenue outlook for the balance of 2020,” said CEO Sean Reilly. “On the expense side, we are seeing the benefits of our efforts to contain costs and adjust our operations to the current environment.”

There were no borrowings outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility or Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of June 30, 2020.

Recent Developments and COVID-19 Update

On July 30, 2020, Lamar Media announced its intent to redeem $267.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “5% Notes”) on August 31, 2020. Following the redemption, $267.5 million of the original $535.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes will remain outstanding under the indenture.

On May 13, 2020, Lamar Media issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4 7/8% Senior Notes due 2029. The issuance resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $395.0 million. Net proceeds from the issuance, along with cash on hand, were used to pay in full outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, during the quarter the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance on the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.

Lamar continues to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, employees and the business of our advertisers. In response to the virus’s effect on the overall economy and decreased demand for outdoor advertising we have taken the following measures to reduce our operating costs and increase our liquidity:

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions to alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following measures that are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”): adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), free cash flow, funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), diluted AFFO per share, outdoor operating income, acquisition-adjusted results and acquisition-adjusted consolidated expense. Our management reviews our performance by focusing on these key performance indicators not prepared in conformity with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP performance indicators are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Our Non-GAAP financial measures are determined as follows:

3

Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, diluted AFFO per share, outdoor operating income, acquisition-adjusted results and acquisition-adjusted consolidated expense are not intended to replace other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow, FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, FFO, AFFO, diluted AFFO per share, outdoor operating income, acquisition-adjusted results and acquisition-adjusted consolidated expense are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. Specifically, we believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for purposes of decision making and for evaluating our core operating results; (2) adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the industry to measure operating performance as it excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization, which may vary significantly among companies, depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (3) adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, diluted AFFO per share and acquisition-adjusted consolidated expense each provides investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-over-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature and reflect the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs; (4) acquisition-adjusted results is a supplement to enable investors to compare period-over-period results on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, which reflects our core performance and organic growth (if any) during the period in which the assets were owned and managed by us; (5) free cash flow is an indicator of our ability to service debt and generate cash for acquisitions and other strategic investments; (6) outdoor operating income provides investors a measurement of our core results without the impact of fluctuations in stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and corporate expenses; and (7) each of our Non-GAAP measures provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies.

Our measurement of adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, diluted AFFO per share, outdoor operating income, acquisition-adjusted results and acquisition-adjusted consolidated expense may not, however, be fully comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO, diluted AFFO per share, outdoor operating income, acquisition-adjusted results and acquisition-adjusted consolidated expense to the most directly comparable GAAP measures have been included herein.
