(1) Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.6 million and $0.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $1.4 million and $2.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets and gain (loss) on debt extinguishment.
(2) Corporate expenses include $0.8 million and $0.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $1.6 million and $2.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(3) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, net interest expense, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our revolving credit facility and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.
(4) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, less non-cash interest expense relating to discount amortization on our $400 million aggregate principal amount of 8.750% senior secured first lien notes due 2017 (the “Notes”), less interest income and less the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Free cash flow per share is defined as free cash flow divided by the basic or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Commenting on the Company’s earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During 2010, we saw growth in our revenues, which were positively affected by increased advertising primarily relating to the World Cup and political activity. In addition, we continue to achieve increased retransmission consent revenue. Our audience shares remain strong in the nation’s most densely populated Hispanic markets, and we believe we remain well positioned to benefit as the U.S. Hispanic market continues to expand and advertisers increasingly recognize the importance of reaching our target audience. We remain focused on improving our operating performance by capitalizing on the recovering advertising market, while continuing to carefully manage our costs.”

Impairment of Television and Radio Segment Intangibles

The Company recorded an impairment charge of $36 million related to television and radio FCC broadcasting licenses and radio goodwill. The write-down was pursuant to ASC 350, which requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired.

Net revenue increased to $200.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $189.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $11.3 million. Of the overall increase, $8.2 million came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to revenue from World Cup advertising, retransmission consent revenue, and revenue from political advertising. Additionally, $3.1 million of the overall increase came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to revenue from World Cup, political and census advertising.

Operating expenses increased to $122.8 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010 from $122.2 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in national representation fees and other expenses associated with the increase in net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in salary expense due to reductions of personnel and salary reductions implemented in 2009.

Corporate expenses increased to $18.4 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010 from $14.9 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $3.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the creation of a reserve for a $3.0 million note receivable and accrued interest relating to the sale of our publishing segment in 2003. Excluding the expenses relating to the note receivable reserve, corporate expenses increased to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $0.5 million, which was primarily attributable to expenses relating to the issuance of the Notes.
