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 2017 Combined Form 10-K. Subsequent events, if any, are evaluated through the date on which the financial statements are issued.

 

 

2. Revenues

On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Codified as ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the cumulative effect transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018 and are not accounted for under ASC 840, Leases.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606 or 840, while comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605.

 

A majority of our billboard, logo, and transit space contracts are accounted for under ASC 840 and will continue to be accounted for under the topic until January 1, 2019, our adoption date of ASU No. 2016-02 (Codified as ASC 842), Leases. Contracts which begin prior to January 1, 2019 and are accounted for under ASC 840 will continue to be accounted for as a lease until the contract ends or is modified. Contracts beginning or modified on or after January 1, 2019 which do not meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842 will be accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue. The majority of our advertising space contracts will not meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842.

 

Revenue Recognition

Advertising revenues:  The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard, logo and transit displays and are currently accounted for under ASC 840, Leases.  Upon the Company’s adoption of ASC 842, Leases the majority of our contracts for advertising space will transition to being accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue. The contract revenues, under ASC 840, Leases and ASC 606, Revenue, are recognized ratably over their contract life.

Other revenues:  Our other component of revenue primarily consists of production services which includes creating and printing the advertising copy.  As of January 1, 2018 revenue for production contracts is recognized under ASC 606. Contract revenues for production services are recognized upon satisfaction of the contract which is typically less than one week.

Arrangements with multiple performance obligations:  Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations.  For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price.  We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using expected cost plus margin.

Deferred revenues:  We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is not significant.  For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer.  The balance of deferred income is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within twelve months.

Practical expedients and exemptions: Upon our transition to ASC 606 from ASC 840, the Company plans to utilize the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC 606.  We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct advertising expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).  We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than one year. For contracts with customers which exceed one year, the future amount to be invoiced to the customer corresponds directly with the value to be received by the customer.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 15.5 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 86,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018 a total of 987,815 shares were available for future grant.

Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 2009 ESPP was approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009.  The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2009 ESPP was automatically increased by 83,838 shares on January 1, 2018 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2009 ESPP.

The following is a summary of 2009 ESPP share activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers, employees and directors under the 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 2018 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2019. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded $19,642 as stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards. In addition, each non-employee director automatically receives a restricted stock award of our Class A common stock upon election or re-election. The awards vest 50% on grant date and 50% on the last day of the directors’ one year term. The Company recorded a $326 stock-based compensation expense related to these awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Senior Credit Facility

On March 16, 2018, Lamar Media Corp. entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 15, 2017, with Lamar Advertising, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as Guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein, under which the parties agreed to amend the existing senior credit facility to establish a new $600,000 Term B Loan Facility (the “Term B loan”), which will mature on March 16, 2025.  The Term B loan began amortizing on June 30, 2018 in equal quarterly installments of $1,500 with the remainder payable at maturity.  Lamar borrowed the full amount of the Term B loan on March 16, 2018.  The proceeds from the Term B loan, together with available cash on hand were used to redeem in full Lamar Media’s 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “5 7/8% Notes”).

Lamar Media’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “senior credit facility”) consists of (i) a $450,000 senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on May 15, 2022, (ii) a $450,000 Term A loan facility (the “Term A loans” and together with the Term B loans, the “Term loans”)  which will mature on May 15, 2022, (iii) the Term B loans and (iv) an incremental facility pursuant to which Lamar Media may incur additional term loan tranches or increase its revolving credit facility subject to pro forma compliance with the secured debt ratio financial maintenance covenant.

Under the senior credit facility Lamar Media borrowed all $450,000 in Term A loans on May 15, 2017.  The net proceeds, together with borrowing under the revolving portion of senior credit facility and cash on hand, were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the existing senior credit facility, and all revolving commitments under that facility were terminated.

The Term A loans mature on May 15, 2022 and the Term B loans mature on March 16, 2025.  The remaining quarterly installments are scheduled to be paid on each December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 as follows:

The Term loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75%; (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.25% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.00% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1; or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). Base Rate revolving Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.25% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.0% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1, or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term A and B loans and revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2018, there was $105,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $12,953 in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2018 resulting in $332,047 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on May 15, 2022.

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.

The senior credit facility contains provisions that allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that allows Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions.

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 a specified senior debt ratio at all times and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments.

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

5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes

On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5 7/8% Notes. The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $489,000. The Company used the proceeds from the Term B loans to redeem all of the 5 7/8% Notes on March 19, 2018 at a redemption price of 101.958% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5 7/8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 $2,616,346 which exceeded the carrying amount of $2,571,735 as of September 30, 2018. The majority of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded debt (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and the remaining is valued based on quoted prices for similar debt (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

 

 

11. New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 (Codified as ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) when it became effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 deferring the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method. The Company did not have an adjustment to its opening balance of retained earnings for the adoption of this update.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Codified as ASC 842), Leases.  The update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements.  The amendments in this update are effective beginning January 1, 2019 with retrospective application. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact ASC 842 will have on our consolidated financial statements.  The Company expects the primary impact to our consolidated financial statements will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets, resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) – Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The update provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 upon adoption. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease.  The Company plans to elect the provided practical expedients within this update upon our adoption of Topic 842.

In July 2018, The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements. The update provides an additional (optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard, allowing entities to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, rather than adjusting each period presented at the date of adoption. The update also provides lessors a practical expedient to allow them not to separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if certain criteria are met. The Company plans to utilize the updated transition method upon its adoption of Topic 842. The updated practical expedient for lessors will not have a material effect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
