See “Reconciliation of Reported Basis to Acquisition-Adjusted Results”, which provides reconciliations to GAAP for acquisition-adjusted measures.

Twelve Months Results

Lamar reported net revenues of $1.57 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 versus $1.75 billion for the same period in 2019, a 10.5% decrease. Operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $410.1 million as compared to $517.7 million for the same period in 2019. Lamar recognized net income of $243.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to net income of $372.1 million for the same period in 2019. Net income per diluted share decreased to $2.41 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $3.71 for the same period in 2019. In addition, adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $671.5 million versus $784.9 million for the same period in 2019, a 14.4% decrease.

Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased to $569.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $630.9 million in the same period in 2019. Free cash flow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 decreased 3.4% to $472.5 million as compared to $489.2 million for the same period in 2019.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, FFO was $477.2 million versus $584.9 million for the same period in 2019, an 18.4% decrease. AFFO for the twelve months ended December     31, 2020 was $514.8 million compared to $581.4 million for the same period in 2019, an 11.5% decrease. Diluted AFFO per share decreased to $5.10 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $5.80 in the same period in 2019, a decrease of 12.1%.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2020, Lamar had $910.1 million in total liquidity that consisted of $736.0 million available for borrowing under its revolving senior credit facility, $52.5 million available under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and approximately $121.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility and $122.5 million in borrowings outstanding under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of December 31, 2020.

Recent Developments and COVID-19 Update

On January 22, 2021 Lamar Media Corp., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, issued $550.0 million in aggregate principal 3 5/8% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “3 5/8% Senior Notes”). The 3 5/8% Senior Notes resulted in proceeds of approximately $542.5 million which were used, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit facility and Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to redeem in full all of our $650.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 on February 3, 2021.

On February 25, 2021 our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.75 per common share to be paid on March 31, 2021. Subject to approval by the Board of Directors we expect our aggregate distributions to stockholders for 2021, including the dividend payable on March 31, 2021, will total $3.00 per common share.

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 measures to reduce our operating costs and increase our liquidity.

As we continue to actively monitor the situation, we 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.

Guidance

We expect net income per diluted share for fiscal year 2021 to be between $2.76 and $3.02, with diluted AFFO per share between $5.20 and $5.50. See “Supplemental Schedules and Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation to GAAP.

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:

 

   

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense (income), loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt and investments, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposition of assets and investments, capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net and the impact of adopting FASB Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-02 Codified as ASC 842, Leases.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.

 

   

Free cash flow is defined as adjusted EBITDA less interest, net of interest income and amortization of deferred financing costs, current taxes, preferred stock dividends and total capital expenditures.

 

   

We use the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition of FFO, which is defined as net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate assets and investments and real estate related depreciation and amortization and including adjustments to eliminate unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

 

   

We define AFFO as FFO before (i) straight-line income and expense; (ii) impact of ASC 842 adoption; (iii) capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) non-cash portion of tax provision; (vi) non-real estate related depreciation and amortization; (vii) amortization of deferred financing costs; (viii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (ix) non-recurring infrequent or unusual losses (gains); (x) less maintenance capital expenditures; and (xi) an adjustment for unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.

 

   

Diluted AFFO per share is defined as AFFO divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

 

   

Outdoor operating income is defined as operating income before corporate expenses, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on disposition of assets.

Acquisition-adjusted results adjusts our net revenue, direct and general and administrative expenses, outdoor operating income, corporate expense and EBITDA for the prior period by adding to, or subtracting from, the corresponding revenue or expense generated by the acquired or divested assets before our acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the current period. In calculating acquisition-adjusted results, therefore, we include revenue and expenses generated by assets that we did not own in the prior period but acquired in the current period. We refer to the amount of pre-acquisition revenue and expense generated by or subtracted from the acquired assets during the prior period that corresponds with the current period in which we owned the assets (to the extent within the period to which this report relates) as “acquisition-adjusted results”.

 

   

Acquisition-adjusted consolidated expense adjusts our total operating expense to remove the impact of stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net and loss (gain) on disposition of assets and investments. The prior period is also adjusted for the impact of adopting FASB Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-02 Codified as ASC 842, Leases and to include the expense generated by the acquired or divested assets before our acquisition or divestiture of such assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the current period.

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.
