Supplemental Disclosures: Reportable Segments and Segment Adjusted EBITDA The Company operates two reportable segments: America (which includes our U.S. roadside billboard and street furniture advertising operations) and Airports (which includes our U.S. and Caribbean airport advertising operations), with remaining operations in Singapore reported as “Other.” 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 7

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer) for purposes of allocating resources and assessing segment performance. As such, it is the measure of segment profit for the Company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring and other costs. Restructuring and other costs include costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs, and other special costs. Non-GAAP Financial Information This earnings release includes information that does not conform to GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Corporate expenses, Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”). The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful insights into its operating performance, particularly when comparing the Company to other out-of-home advertisers, as these measures are widely used within the industry. Please refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures below. The Company defines and uses these non-GAAP measures as follows: • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations, plus: income tax expense (benefit) attributable to continuing operations; non-operating expenses (income), including interest expense, net, and other expense (income), net; other operating expense (income), net; depreciation, amortization and impairment charges; share-based compensation expense; and restructuring and other costs, which include costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs, and other special costs. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to plan and forecast for future periods and as a key performance measure for executive compensation. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to assess the Company’s performance in a way that is consistent with management’s approach and facilitates comparisons to other companies with different capital structures or tax rates. Additionally, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors, analysts and peers in the industry for valuation and performance comparisons. • Adjusted Corporate expenses is defined as corporate expenses excluding share-based compensation and restructuring and other costs. The Company uses Adjusted Corporate expenses to evaluate core corporate spending and for planning and forecasting purposes. • FFO is defined in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) as consolidated net income (loss) before: depreciation, amortization and impairment of real estate; gains or losses from the disposition of real estate; and adjustments to eliminate unconsolidated affiliates and noncontrolling interests. • AFFO is defined as FFO excluding discontinued operations and before adjustments for continuing operations, including: maintenance capital expenditures; straight-line rent effects; depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-real estate; amortization of deferred financing costs and note discounts; share-based compensation; deferred income taxes; restructuring and other costs; transaction costs; and other items, such as adjustments for unconsolidated affiliates and noncontrolling interests and gains or losses from the disposition of non-real estate. Although the Company is not a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), it competes directly with REITs that present the non- GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO. Therefore, the Company believes that presenting these measures helps investors evaluate its performance on the same terms as its direct competitors. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition, which does not restrict its use to REITs. Additionally, the Company believes FFO and AFFO are already commonly used by investors, analysts and competitors in the industry for valuation and performance comparisons. The Company does not use, and you should not use, FFO and AFFO as indicators of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs, pay dividends or make other distributions. Since the Company is not a REIT, it has no obligation to pay dividends and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Moreover, the presentation of these measures should not be construed as an indication that the Company is currently in a position to convert into a REIT. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures as an indicator of operating performance or the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures presented by other companies. See reconciliations of income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA, corporate expenses to Adjusted Corporate expenses, and consolidated net income (loss) to FFO and AFFO in the tables below. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at investor.clearchannel.com. 8
