LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2012 Combined Form 10-K. Subsequent events, if any, are evaluated through the date on which the financial statements are issued.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 13 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years and include 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant.

We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an aggregate of 1,762,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

In February 2013, our Board of Directors voted to amend the Incentive Plan to eliminate the provision that limited the amount of Class A Common Stock, including shares retained from an award, that could be withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations to the minimum tax obligations required by law (except with respect to option awards). In accordance with ASC 718, the Company is required to classify the awards affected by the amendment as liability-classified awards at fair value each period prior to their settlement. As of March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a liability, in accrued expenses, of $687 related to its equity incentive awards affected by this amendment.

Stock Purchase Plan. In 2009 our Board of Directors adopted a new employee stock purchase plan, the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 2009 ESPP, which was approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009. The 2009 ESPP reserved 588,154 shares of Class A common stock for issuance to our employees, which included 88,154 shares of Class A common stock that had been available for issuance under our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 2000 ESPP. The 2000 ESPP was terminated following the issuance of all shares that were subject to the offer that commenced under the 2000 ESPP on January 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2009. The terms of the 2009 ESPP are substantially the same as the 2000 ESPP.

The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2009 ESPP was automatically increased by 78,963 shares on January 1, 2013 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2009 ESPP.

The following is a summary of 2009 ESPP share activity for the period ended March 31, 2013:


	Shares
Available for future purchases, January 1, 2013		358,950
Additional shares reserved under 2009 ESPP		78,963
Purchases		(34,297	)

Available for future purchases, March 31, 2013		403,616

Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers, employees and directors under our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of shares to be issued, if any, will be dependent on the level of achievement of performance measures for key officers and employees, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2013 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2014. The shares subject to these awards can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100% of the target number of shares depending on the level at which the goals are attained. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company has recorded $793 as non-cash compensation expense related to performance based awards. In addition, each non-employee director automatically receives upon election or re-election a restricted stock award of our Class A common stock. The awards vest 50% on grant date and 50% on the last day of each of the director’s one-year term. The Company recorded $246 non-cash compensation expense related to these non-employee director awards for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

6. Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries

Separate financial statements of each of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that have guaranteed Lamar Media’s obligations with respect to its publicly issued notes (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are not included herein because the Company has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and the only subsidiaries that are not guarantors are in the aggregate minor.

Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under both the terms of the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes and by the terms of the senior credit facility. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Lamar Media was permitted under the terms of its outstanding senior subordinated notes to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances in amounts up to $1,768,757 and $1,706,875, respectively. Transfers to Lamar Advertising are subject to additional restrictions if, (i) under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and as defined therein, (x) the total holdings debt ratio is greater than 5.75 to 1 or (y) the senior debt ratio is greater than 3.25 to 1.0, and (ii) if under the indenture for Lamar Media’s 9 3/4% senior notes and as defined therein, its senior leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1. As of March 31, 2013, the total holdings debt ratio was less than 5.75 to 1. Lamar Media’s senior debt ratio was less than 3.25 to 1 and its senior leverage ratio was less than 3.0 to 1; therefore, transfers to Lamar Advertising were not subject to any additional restrictions under the senior credit facility or pursuant to the indenture governing the 9 3/4% senior notes.

The senior notes mature on April 1, 2014 and have interest at a rate of 9 3/4% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2009. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The terms of the senior notes will, among other things, limit Lamar Media’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock; (ii) make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) have the restricted subsidiaries make payments to Lamar Media; (vi) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of Lamar Media’s or the restricted subsidiaries’ assets; and (vii) sell assets.

2010 Senior Credit Facility

On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media entered into a restatement agreement with respect to its existing senior credit facility in order to fund a new $100,000 Term loan A facility and to make certain covenant changes to the senior credit facility, which was entered into on April 28, 2010, as amended on June 11, 2010, November 18, 2010 and February 9, 2012 (the “senior credit facility”), for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent. The senior credit facility consists of a $250,000 revolving credit facility, a $270,000 term loan A-1 facility, a $30,000 term loan A-2 facility, a $100,000 term loan A-3 facility, a $575,000 term loan B facility and a $300,000 incremental facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $200,000 based upon our satisfaction of a senior debt ratio test (as described below), of less than or equal to 3.25 to 1. Lamar Media is the borrower under the senior credit facility, except with respect to the $30,000 term loan A-2 facility for which Lamar Media’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Lamar Advertising of Puerto Rico, Inc. is the borrower. We may also from time to time designate additional wholly-owned subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers under the incremental loan facility that can borrow up to $110,000 of the incremental facility. Incremental loans may be in the form of additional term loan tranches or increases in the revolving credit facility. Our lenders have no obligation to make additional loans to us, or any designated subsidiary borrower, under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.

In addition to the amortizations of our Term facilities, Lamar Media may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding under the senior credit facility that would be applied first to any outstanding term loans. These payments, if any, will be calculated based on a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) at the end of each fiscal year. For fiscal years ending or after December 31, 2010, this percentage is subject to reduction to 0% if the total holdings debt ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal year.

As of March 31, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving senior facility. The revolving facility terminates April 28, 2015. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $6,989 letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2013 resulting in $243,011 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to maturity. The loans bear interest, at Lamar Media’s option, at the LIBOR Rate or JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate plus applicable margins, such margins being set from time to time based on Lamar Media’s ratio of debt to trailing twelve month EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit facility.

The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to:

•

dispose of assets;

•

incur or repay debt;

•

create liens;

•

make investments; and

•

pay dividends.

Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility the Company must maintain specified financial ratios and levels including:

•

a fixed charges ratio;

•

a senior debt ratio; and

•

a total holdings debt ratio.

Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the applicable senior credit agreement provisions during the periods presented.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investment contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long term debt (including current maturities) was $2,267,902 which exceeded both the gross and carrying amounts of $2,163,708 and $2,154,872, respectively, as of March 31, 2013.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties described in the section of this combined report on Form 10-Q entitled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in Item 1A to the 2012 Combined Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2013, as supplemented by any risk factors contained in our combined Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider each of these risks and uncertainties in evaluating the Company’s and Lamar Media’s financial conditions and results of operations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These statements speak only as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the statements, except as may be required by law.

Lamar Advertising Company

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s net revenues are derived primarily from the rental of advertising space on outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. Revenue growth is based on many factors that include the Company’s ability to increase occupancy of its existing advertising displays; raise advertising rates; and acquire new advertising displays and its operating results are therefore affected by general economic conditions, as well as trends in the advertising industry. Advertising spending is particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions which affect the rates that the Company is able to charge for advertising on its displays and its ability to maximize advertising sales or occupancy on its displays.

Historically, the Company made strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets to increase the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates in existing and new markets. While the Company has significantly reduced its acquisition activity over the last three years, it will continue to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise. The Company has financed its historical acquisitions and intends to finance any future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its senior credit facility or the issuance of debt or equity securities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company completed acquisitions for a total cash purchase price of approximately $5.3 million.

The Company’s business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs associated with the construction of new billboard displays, the entrance into and renewal of logo sign and transit contracts, and the purchase of real estate and operating equipment. The following table presents a breakdown of capitalized expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended March 31, 2013 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2012

Net revenues increased $17.3 million or 6.5% to $283.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $266.2 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $13.2 million, which represents an increase of 5.5% over the prior period, an increase in logo sign revenue of $1.5 million, which represents an increase of 9.9% over the prior period, and a $2.6 million increase in transit revenue, which represents an increase of 20.0% over the prior period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, there was a $6.5 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which represents an increase of 2.4%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $6.5 million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $4.5 million increase in billboard revenue, a $1.1 million net increase in transit revenue and a $0.9 million increase in logo revenue over the acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable period in 2012.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $15.3 million or 9.0% to $184.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $169.0 million for the same period in 2012, which is primarily due to an $8.1 million increase in non-cash compensation expense resulting from options granted during the period. Excluding the $8.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from non-cash compensation for the period, operating expenses related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets increased $6.1 million and corporate expenses increased $1.0 million or a 4.3% increase over the same period in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense and gain on sale of assets remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Due to the above factors, operating income remained relatively constant at $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $25.8 million for the same period in 2012.

The Company did not have any financing transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2013. However, during the same period in 2012, the Company recognized a $30.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the settlement of a tender offer for Lamar Media’s then outstanding 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series B and 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series C. Approximately $14.4 million of the loss recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discounts associated with the tendered notes.

Interest expense decreased $3.2 million from $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, to $36.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily resulting from the Company’s refinancing transactions during 2012.

The slight increase in operating income and the decreases in interest expense and loss on debt extinguishment resulted in a $33.3 million decrease in net loss before income taxes. This decrease in loss resulted in a decrease in income tax benefit of $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 over the same period in 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 43.5%, which is higher than the statutory rate due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible compensation expense related to stock options in accordance with ASC 718 and other non-deductible expenses and amortization.

As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $6.1 million, as compared to a net loss of $22.8 million for the same period in 2012.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2011 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2012 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2012 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 by adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets prior to our acquisition of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended March 31, 2013. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 2013 and 2012 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing within our existing core assets.

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with GAAP. For this adjustment, we measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the acquired assets during the period in 2012 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in 2013 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as “acquisition net revenue.”

Reconciliations of 2012 reported net revenue to 2012 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, as well as a comparison of 2012 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2013 reported net revenue for the three months ended March 31, are provided below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under the senior credit facility. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the principal borrower under the senior credit facility and maintains all corporate operating cash balances. Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media.

Sources of Cash

Total Liquidity. As of March 31, 2013 we had approximately $318.5 million of total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $75.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and the ability to draw approximately $243.0 million under the revolving portion of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility. We are currently in compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants under the senior credit facility and we would remain in compliance after giving effect to borrowing the full amount available to us under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $341 million of outstanding 9 3/4% Senior Notes with a stated maturity of April 1, 2014. Consequently these notes will be reflected in current maturities of long-term debt beginning April 1, 2013. The Company intends to refinance these notes prior to their scheduled maturity. In addition, the Company may consider refinancing options related to its other long-term senior indebtedness.

Cash Generated by Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 our cash provided by operating activities was $51.7 million and $36.7 million, respectively. While our net loss was approximately $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, we generated cash from operating activities of $51.7 million primarily due to adjustments needed to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $83.2 million, which primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $73.9 million and non-cash equity based compensation of $10.8 million. In addition, there was an increase in working capital of $25.4 million. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 2013 in excess of our cash needs for operations and capital expenditures as described herein.

Credit Facilities. On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media entered into a restatement agreement with respect to its existing senior credit facility in order to fund a new $100 million Term loan A facility and to make certain covenant changes to the senior credit facility, which was entered into on April 28, 2010, as amended on June 11, 2010, November 18, 2010 and February 9, 2012 (the “senior credit facility”), for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent. The senior credit facility consists of a $250 million revolving credit facility, a $270 million term loan A-1 facility, a $30 million term loan A-2 facility, a $100 million term loan A-3 facility, a $575 million term loan B facility and a $300 million incremental facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $200 million, based upon our satisfaction of a senior debt ratio test (as described below), of less than or equal to 3.25 to 1. Lamar Media is the borrower under the senior credit facility, except with respect to the $30 million term loan A-2 facility for which Lamar Media’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Lamar Advertising of Puerto Rico, Inc. is the borrower. We may also from time to time designate additional wholly-owned subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers under the incremental loan facility that can borrow up to $110 million of the incremental facility. Incremental loans may be in the form of additional term loan tranches or increases in the revolving credit facility. Our lenders have no obligation to make additional loans to us, or any designated subsidiary borrower, under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.

As of March 31, 2013, Lamar Media had approximately $243.0 million of unused capacity under the revolving credit facility included in the senior credit facility. As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate balance outstanding under the senior credit facility was $376.5 million.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting internally generated cash flow are general economic conditions, specific economic conditions in the markets where the Company conducts its business and overall spending on advertising by advertisers.

Credit Facilities and Other Debt Securities. Lamar must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to the senior credit facility and its outstanding debt securities.

Restrictions Under Debt Securities. Lamar must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to its outstanding debt securities. Currently Lamar Media has outstanding approximately $350 million 9 3/4% Senior Notes due 2014 issued in March 2009 (the “9 3/4% Senior Notes), $400 million 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes issued in April 2010, $500 million 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes issued in February 2012 and $535 million 5% Senior Subordinated Notes issued in October 2012.

The indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit the incurrence of indebtedness (including indebtedness under the senior credit facility), (i) if no default or event of default would result from such incurrence and (ii) if after giving effect to any such incurrence, the leverage ratio (defined as total consolidated debt to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA (as defined in the indentures)) would be less than (a) 6.5 to 1, pursuant to the 9 3/4% Senior Notes indenture, and (b) 7.0 to 1, pursuant to the 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and 5% Senior Subordinated Notes indentures. Currently, Lamar Media is not in default under the indentures of any of its outstanding notes and, therefore, would be permitted to incur additional indebtedness subject to the foregoing provisions.

In addition to debt incurred under the provisions described in the preceding paragraph, the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes permit Lamar Media to incur indebtedness pursuant to the following baskets:

•

up to $1.4 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility allowable under the 9 3/4% Senior Notes indenture (up to $1.5 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility allowable under indentures relating to the 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and 5% Senior Subordinated Notes indentures);

•

currently outstanding indebtedness or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt;

•

inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its subsidiaries or between subsidiaries;

•

certain purchase money indebtedness and capitalized lease obligations to acquire or lease property in the ordinary course of business that cannot exceed the greater of $50 million or 5% of Lamar Media’s net tangible assets; and

•

additional debt not to exceed $50 million ($75 million under the 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and 5% Senior Subordinated Notes indentures).

Restrictions under Senior Credit Facility. Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under the senior credit facility. If the Company fails to comply with these tests, the long term debt payments may be accelerated. At March 31, 2013 and currently, Lamar Media was in compliance with all such tests. We must be in compliance with the following financial ratios under our senior credit facility:

•

a total holdings debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt of Lamar Advertising Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of any date to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended of 6.00 to 1.00;

•

a senior debt ratio, defined as total consolidated senior debt of Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended of less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 and

•

a fixed charges coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters to the sum of (1) the total payments of principal and interest on debt for such period, plus (2) capital expenditures made during such period, plus (3) income and franchise tax payments made during such period, plus (4) dividends, of greater than 1.05 to 1.

The definition of “EBITDA” under the senior credit facility is as follows: “EBITDA” means, for any period, operating income for the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated before taxes, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash income or charges accrued for such period, one-time cash restructuring and cash severance changes in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 of up to $2,500,000 aggregate amount, charges and expenses in connection with the credit facility transactions and the repurchase or redemption of our 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and (except to the extent received or paid in cash by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries) income or loss attributable to equity in affiliates for such period) excluding any extraordinary and unusual gains or losses during such period and excluding the proceeds of any casualty events whereby insurance or other proceeds are received and certain dispositions not in the ordinary course. For purposes of calculating EBITDA, the effect on such calculation of any adjustments required under Statement of Accounting Standards No. 141R is excluded.

Excess Cash Flow Payments. Lamar Media may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding under the senior credit facility that would be applied first to any outstanding term loans, commencing with the year ended December 31, 2010. These payments, if any, are determined annually and are calculated based on a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) at the end of each fiscal year. The percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow that must be applied to repay outstanding loans was set at 50% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. For fiscal years ending or after December 31, 2010, this percentage is subject to reduction to 0% if the total holdings debt ratio, as described above, is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal year. At December 31, 2012, the Company was not required to make a mandatory prepayment in respect of consolidated excess cash flow because there was a consolidated cash flow deficit, in accordance with the calculation as defined in the senior credit facility and the total holdings debt ratio was less than 5.00 to 1.00.

The Company believes that its current level of cash on hand, availability under the senior credit facility and future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet its operating needs through fiscal 2013. All debt obligations are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.

Uses of Cash

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions were approximately $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We anticipate our 2013 total capital expenditures will be approximately $100 million.

Acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company financed its acquisition activity of $5.3 million with cash on hand.

REIT Election

The Company is actively considering an election to real estate investment trust (REIT) status. On November 16, 2012, the Company submitted a private letter ruling to the Internal Revenue Service in conjunction with its review regarding a potential REIT election. If the Company receives a favorable response and decides to proceed with a REIT election, it intends to make the election for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2014, subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors. A favorable IRS ruling, if received, does not guarantee that the Company would succeed in qualifying as a REIT and there is no certainty as to the timing of a REIT election. The Company may not ultimately pursue a conversion to a REIT, and it can provide no assurance that a REIT conversion, if completed, will be successfully implemented or achieve the intended benefits.

Lamar Media Corp.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended March 31, 2013 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2012

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $15.3 million or 9.0% to $184.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $168.9 million for the same period in 2012, which is primarily due to an $8.1 million increase in non-cash compensation expense resulting from options granted during the period. Excluding the $8.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from non-cash compensation for the period, operating expenses related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets increased $6.1 million and corporate expenses increased $1.0 million or a 4.3% increase over the same period in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense and gain on sale of assets remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Due to the above factors, operating income remained relatively constant at $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $25.9 million for the same period in 2012.

Lamar Media did not have any financing transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2013. However, during the same period in 2012, Lamar Media recognized a $30.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the settlement of a tender offer for its then outstanding 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series B and 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series C. Approximately $14.4 million of the loss recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discounts associated with the tendered notes.

Interest expense decreased $3.2 million from $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, to $36.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily resulting from Lamar Media’s refinancing transactions during 2012.

As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $6.0 million, as compared to a net loss of $22.9 million for the same period in 2012.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Lamar Media. The information below summarizes the Company’s interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at March 31, 2013 and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2012 Combined Form 10-K.

Loans under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility bear interest at variable rates equal to the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Because the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR may increase or decrease at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in these base rates may have on the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the senior credit facility. Increases in the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the senior credit facility would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company’s net income.

At March 31, 2013 there was approximately $376.5 million of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the senior credit facility, or approximately 21.2% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 with respect to borrowings under the senior credit facility was $3.2 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 3.0%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 5.0% rather than 3.0%), then the Company’s three months ended March 31, 2013 interest expense would have been approximately $1.9 million higher resulting in a $1.1 million increase in the Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The Company attempted to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by issuing fixed rate long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the amount of the Company’s variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition, the Company has the capability under the senior credit facility to fix the interest rates applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months (in certain cases with the consent of the lenders), which would allow the Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. In the event of an increase in interest rates, the Company may take further actions to mitigate its exposure. The Company cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or that, if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s and Lamar Media’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and Lamar Media, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s and Lamar Media’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and Lamar Media concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s and Lamar Media’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) of the Company and Lamar Media identified in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control performed during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s and Lamar Media’s internal control over financial reporting.
