Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. Some of the key factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

provisions of our debt instruments, including the indenture governing our $400 million aggregate principal amount of 8.750% senior secured first lien notes due 2017, or the Notes, and the agreement governing the current credit facility that we entered into in July 2010, or our 2010 Credit Facility, which restrict certain aspects of the operation of our business;

 

   

our continued compliance with all of our obligations, including financial covenants and ratios, under the indenture governing the Notes, or the Indenture, and the agreement governing our 2010 Credit Facility, or the Credit Agreement;

the impact on our business, if any, as a result of changes in the way market share is measured by third parties;

 

   

our relationship with Univision Communications Inc., or Univision;

 

   

the extent to which we continue to generate revenue under retransmission consent agreements;

 

   

subject to restrictions contained in the Indenture and the Credit Agreement, the overall success of our acquisition strategy, which historically has included developing media clusters in key U.S. Hispanic markets, and the integration of any acquired assets with our existing business;

 

   

industry-wide market factors and regulatory and other developments affecting our operations;

 

   

continued uncertainty in the current economic environment;

 

   

the impact of previous and any future impairment of our assets;

 

   

risks related to changes in accounting interpretations; and

ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Entravision Communications Corporation (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The unaudited information contained herein has been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of the Company’s management, includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 or any other future period.

2. THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Related Party

Substantially all of the Company’s television stations are Univision- or TeleFutura-affiliated television stations. The Company’s network affiliation agreements with Univision provide certain of its owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast Univision’s primary network and TeleFutura network programming in their respective markets. These long-term affiliation agreements each expire in 2021, and can be renewed for multiple, successive two-year terms at Univision’s option, subject to the Company’s consent.

Under the network affiliation agreements, Univision acts as the Company’s exclusive sales representative for the sale of national and regional advertising sales on the Company’s Univision- and TeleFutura-affiliate television stations, and the Company pays certain sales representation fees to Univision relating to national and regional advertising sales. During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount the Company paid Univision in this capacity was $2.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount the Company paid Univision in this capacity was $5.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively.

In August 2008, the Company entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which the Company granted to Univision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for its Univision- and TeleFutura-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to the Company by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (“MVPDs”). The agreement also provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to the Company with respect to agreements that are entered into for the carriage of its Univision- and TeleFutura-affiliated television station signals. As of September 30, 2011, the amount due to the Company from Univision was $5.3 million related to the agreements for the carriage of its Univision and TeleFutura-affiliated television station signals.

Univision currently owns approximately 10% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-converted basis.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures all stock-based awards using a fair value method and recognizes the related stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Table of Contents

Stock-based compensation expense related to grants of stock options and restricted stock units was $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to grants of stock options and restricted stock units was $1.4 million and $1.6 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options is based on the fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is amortized over the vesting period, generally between 1 to 3 years.

The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     Nine-month Period
Ended September 30,
2011

Fair value of options granted

   $1.52

Expected volatility

   78%

Risk-free interest rate

   2.4%

Expected lives

   7.0 years

Dividend rate

   —  

As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to grants of stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.3 years.

Restricted Stock Units

Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally between 1 to 4 years.

As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to grants of restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, if any, that could occur from shares issuable through stock options, restricted stock units and convertible securities.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, all dilutive securities have been excluded as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on loss per share. The number of securities whose conversion would result in an incremental number of shares that would be included in determining the weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share if their effect was not antidilutive was 399,397 and 600,671 equivalent shares of dilutive securities for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, a total of 7,845,528 and 9,177,854 shares of dilutive securities, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise prices of the dilutive securities were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Notes

On July 27, 2010, the Company completed the offering and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at a discount of 98.722% of their principal amount and mature on August 1, 2017. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 8.75% per annum from the date of original issuance and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2011. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $388 million from the sale of the Notes (net of bond discount of $5 million and fees of $7 million), which were used to pay all indebtedness outstanding under the previous syndicated bank credit facility, terminate the related interest rate swap agreements, pay fees and expenses related to the offering of the Notes and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Note Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the Notes and the guarantees are effectively junior: (i) to the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ indebtedness secured by assets that are not collateral; (ii) pursuant to an Intercreditor Agreement entered into at the same time that the Company entered into the 2010 Credit Facility described below; and (iii) to all of the liabilities of any of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the

Notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. The Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets, as well as the pledge of the stock of substantially all of the subsidiaries, including the special purpose subsidiary formed to hold the Company’s FCC licenses.

At the Company’s option, the Company may redeem:

 

   

prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 10% of the original principal amount of the Notes during each 12-month period beginning on August 1, 2010, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest;

 

   

prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes with the net proceeds from certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.750% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided that: (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after such redemption; and (ii) such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of closing of any such equity offering;

 

   

prior to August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest; and

 

   

on or after August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of: (i) 106.563% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2013; (ii) 104.375% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2014; (iii) 102.188% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2015; and (iv) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed on or after August 1, 2016, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In addition, upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the issuance of the Notes (the “Indenture”), the Company must make an offer to repurchase all Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

Upon an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, the Notes will become due and payable: (i) immediately without further notice if such event of default arises from events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, any Note Guarantor or any restricted subsidiary; or (ii) upon a declaration of acceleration of the Notes in writing to the Company by the Trustee or holders representing 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, if an event of default occurs and is continuing. The Indenture contains additional provisions that are customary for an agreement of this type, including indemnification by the Company and the Note Guarantors.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Notes as of September 30, 2011 was $395.5 million and $379.0 million, respectively. The estimated fair value is based on quoted market prices for the Notes.

The Company recognized an increase in interest expense related to amortization of the bond discount of $0.1 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company recognized an increase in interest expense related to amortization of the bond discount of $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2010 Credit Facility

On July 27, 2010, the Company also entered into a new $50 million revolving credit facility (“2010 Credit Facility”) and terminated the amended syndicated bank credit facility agreement. The 2010 Credit Facility consists of a three-year $50 million revolving credit facility that expires on July 27, 2013, which includes a $3 million sub-facility for letters of credit. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $0.7 million in outstanding letters of credit. In addition, the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Credit Facility by up to an additional $50 million, subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions. We currently have no outstanding borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at either: (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement governing the 2010 Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”)) plus a margin of 3.375% per annum; or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 4.375% per annum. The Company has not drawn on the 2010 Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

The 2010 Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Guarantors”), which are also the Note Guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The 2010 Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and the Credit Guarantors’ assets, which also secure the Notes. The Company’s borrowings, if any, under the 2010 Credit Facility rank senior to the Notes upon the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement that the Company entered into in connection with the 2010 Credit Facility. The 2010 Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets, as well as the pledge of the stock of substantially all of the subsidiaries, including the special purpose subsidiary formed to hold the Company’s FCC licenses.

The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with certain financial covenants, relating to total leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, cash interest coverage ratio and revolving credit facility leverage ratio. The covenants become increasingly restrictive in the later years of the 2010 Credit Facility.

Upon an event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, the lenders may, among other things, suspend or terminate their obligation to make further loans to the Company and/or declare all amounts then outstanding under the 2010 Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement also contains additional provisions that are customary for an agreement of this type, including indemnification by the Company and the Credit Guarantors.

In connection with the Company entering into the Indenture and the Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors also entered into the following agreements:

 

   

A Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors each granted a first priority security interests in the collateral securing the Notes and the 2010 Credit Facility for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and the lenders under the 2010 Credit Facility; and

 

   

An Intercreditor Agreement, in order to define the relative rights of the holders of the Notes and the lenders under the 2010 Credit Facility with respect to the collateral securing the Company’s and the Guarantors’ respective obligations under the Notes and the 2010 Credit Facility.

As a result of the termination of the Company’s previous syndicated bank credit facility, the Company is no longer subject to the financial covenants associated with the syndicated bank credit facility. However, subject to certain exceptions, both the Indenture and the Credit Agreement contain various provisions that limit the Company’s ability, among other things, to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

incur liens;

 

   

merge, dissolve, consolidate, or sell all or substantially all of our assets;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

make certain restricted payments;

 

   

declare certain dividends or distributions or repurchase shares of our capital stock;

 

   

enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and

 

   

change the nature of our business.

In addition, the Indenture contains various provisions that limit the Company’s ability to:

 

   

apply the proceeds from certain asset sales other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

 

   

restrict dividends or other payments from subsidiaries.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various provisions that limit the Company’s ability to:

 

   

dispose of certain assets; and

 

   

amend the Company’s or any guarantor’s organizational documents of the Company in any way that is materially adverse to the lenders under the 2010 Credit Facility.

Moreover, if the Company fails to comply with any of the financial covenants or ratios under the 2010 Credit Facility, the lenders could:

 

   

Elect to declare all amounts borrowed to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest; and/or

 

   

Terminate their commitments, if any, to make further extensions of credit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-4, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-4”). The guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-4 is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-8, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-8”). Under this guidance, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-8 is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

4. LITIGATION

The Company is subject to various outstanding claims and other legal proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any liability of the Company that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

5. ACQUISITION

On January 3, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Lotus/Entravision Reps LLC (“LER”), a representation firm that sells national spots and digital advertising to advertising agencies on behalf of the Company and other clients. The Company previously owned 50 percent of LER which was accounted for under the equity method. The Company decided to acquire the 50 percent of LER that it did not own in order to integrate LER’s sales force with the Company’s radio operations. The Company paid $1.1 million for the remaining 50 percent of LER, subject to adjustment, as follows: $0.7 million at closing and an additional amount of approximately $0.4 million to be paid based on LER’s working capital.

As a result of the Company obtaining control over LER, the Company’s previously-held 50 percent interest was remeasured to its fair value of $1.1 million. The resulting gain of $0.7 million is included in the line item ‘Other income (loss)’ on the consolidated statement of operations.

The following is a summary of the initial purchase price allocation for the Company’s acquisition of LER (unaudited; in millions):

 

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 0.5   

Trade accounts receivable

     2.1   

Prepaids and other assets

     0.1   

Property and equipment

     0.1   

Intangible assets subject to amortization

     0.5   

Goodwill

     0.7   

Current liabilities

     (1.8
  

 

 

 
   $ 2.2   
  

 

 

 

The goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, is assigned to the radio broadcasting segment and is attributable to expected synergies from combining LER’s operations with the Company’s. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each of the Company’s operating segments for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

 

     December 31,
2010
     Acquisition      September 30,
2011
 

Television

   $ 35,912       $ —         $ 35,912   

Radio

     —           735         735   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total

   $ 35,912       $ 735       $ 36,647   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

The acquired receivables approximate their fair value inclusive of collection risk, which was not significant. Acquisition-related costs were not significant and LER’s revenue and net income were not significant to the Company’s results for any of the periods presented.

6. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. All of the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. None of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is a guarantor of the Notes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a diversified Spanish-language media company with a unique portfolio of television and radio assets that reach Hispanic consumers across the United States, as well as the border markets of Mexico. We operate in two reportable segments: television broadcasting and radio broadcasting. Our net revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, was $50.1 million. Of that amount, revenue generated by our television segment accounted for 67% and revenue generated by our radio segment accounted for 33%.

As of the date of filing this report, we own and/or operate 53 primary television stations located primarily in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Washington, D.C. We own and operate 48 radio stations (37 FM and 11 AM) located primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. Our television and radio stations typically have local websites and other digital and interactive media platforms that provide users with news and information as well as a variety of other products and services.

We generate revenue primarily from sales of national and local advertising time on television and radio stations, and from retransmission consent agreements. Advertising rates are, in large part, based on each medium’s ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by advertisers. We recognize advertising revenue when commercials are broadcast. We do not obtain long-term commitments from our advertisers and, consequently, they may cancel, reduce or postpone orders without penalties. We pay commissions to agencies for local, regional and national advertising. For contracts directly with agencies, we record net revenue from these agencies. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in the broadcasting industry and are due primarily to variations in advertising expenditures by both local and national advertisers. In addition, advertising revenue is generally higher during even-numbered years resulting from political advertising and every four years resulting from advertising aired during the World Cup (2010, 2014, etc.).

Table of Contents

We also generate revenue from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with MVPDs. We refer to such revenue as retransmission consent revenue, which represents payments from MVPDs for access to our television station signals so that they may rebroadcast our signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. We recognize retransmission consent revenue when it is accrued pursuant to the agreements we have entered into with respect to such revenue.

Our primary expenses are employee compensation, including commissions paid to our sales staff and amounts paid to our national representative firms, as well as expenses for marketing, promotion and selling, technical, local programming, engineering, and general and administrative. Our local programming costs for television consist primarily of costs related to producing a local newscast in most of our markets.

Highlights

During the third quarter of 2011, we faced challenging comparisons to the third quarter of 2010, when we benefited from World Cup and political advertising revenue and revenue from a large Los Angeles promotional event, whereas revenue from these and other similar periodically occurring revenue sources were not material in the third quarter of 2011. Net revenue decreased to $50.1 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 6%, from $53.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. Nevertheless, our audience shares remain strong in the nation’s most densely populated Hispanic markets.

Net revenue for our television segment decreased to $33.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, from $34.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. This decrease of $0.7 million, or 2%, in net revenue was primarily due to a decrease in national advertising, advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2010, which is absent in 2011, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue. We generated a total of $4.2 million of retransmission consent revenue in the third quarter of 2011. We anticipate that retransmission consent revenue for the full year 2011 will be greater than it was for the full year 2010 and will continue to be a growing source of net revenue in future periods.

Net revenue for our radio segment decreased to $16.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, from $19.0 in the third quarter of 2010. This decrease of $2.4 million, or 13%, was primarily due to advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2010, which is absent in 2011, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011.

Relationship with Univision

Substantially all of our television stations are Univision- or TeleFutura-affiliated television stations. Our network affiliation agreements with Univision provide certain of our owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast Univision’s primary network and TeleFutura network programming in their respective markets. These long-term affiliation agreements each expire in 2021, and can be renewed for multiple, successive two-year terms at Univision’s option, subject to our consent.

Under the network affiliation agreements, Univision acts as our exclusive sales representative for the sale of national and regional advertising sales on our Univision- and TeleFutura-affiliate television stations, and we pay certain sales representation fees to Univision relating to national and regional advertising sales. During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount we paid Univision in this capacity was $2.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount we paid Univision in this capacity was $5.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively.

In August 2008, we entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which we granted to Univision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for our Univision- and TeleFutura-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to us by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with MVPDs. The agreement also provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to us with respect to agreements that are entered into for the carriage of our Univision- and TeleFutura-affiliated television station signals. As of September 30, 2011, the amount due to us from Univision was $5.3 million related to the agreements for the carriage of our Univision and TeleFutura-affiliated television station signals.

Univision currently owns approximately 10% of our common stock on a fully-converted basis. As of December 31, 2005, Univision owned approximately 30% of our common stock on a fully-converted basis. In connection with its merger with Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation in September 2003, Univision entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, pursuant to which Univision agreed, among other things, to ensure that its percentage ownership of our company would not exceed 10% by March 26, 2009. In January 2006, we sold the assets of radio stations KBRG-FM and KLOK-AM, serving the San Francisco/San Jose, California market, to Univision for $90 million. Univision paid the full amount of the purchase price in the form of approximately 12.6 million shares of our Class U common stock held by Univision. Subsequently, in 2006, we repurchased 7.2 million shares of our Class U common stock held by Univision for $52.5 million. In February 2008, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of Class U common stock held by Univision for $10.4 million. In May 2009, we repurchased an additional 0.9 million shares of Class A common stock held by Univision for $0.5 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-4, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-4”). The guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-4 is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-8, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-8”). Under this guidance, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-8 is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

(1) 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, other income (loss), 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 syndicated bank 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, other income (loss), 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.

Since our ability to borrow from our 2010 Credit Facility is based on a consolidated adjusted EBITDA financial covenant, we believe that it is important to disclose consolidated adjusted EBITDA to our investors. Our 2010 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants relating to the maximum total leverage ratio, maximum revolving credit leverage ratio, minimum cash interest coverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The maximum total leverage ratio, or the ratio of consolidated total debt to trailing-twelve-month consolidated adjusted EBITDA, affects our ability to borrow from our 2010 Credit Facility. Under our 2010 Credit Facility, our maximum total leverage ratio may not exceed 7.00 to 1. The total leverage ratio was as follows (in each case as of September 30): 2011, 6.9 to 1; 2010, 6.5 to 1. Therefore, we were in compliance with this covenant at each of those dates. We entered into our 2010 Credit Facility in July 2010, so we were not subject to the same calculations and covenants in prior years. However, for consistency of presentation, the foregoing historical ratios assume that the current covenant had been applicable for all periods presented.

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, other income (loss), 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.

Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased to $50.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $53.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $3.2 million. Of the overall decrease, $2.5 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to the absence of advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2011 compared to 2010 and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011. We also benefited from revenue from a large Los Angeles promotional event during the third quarter of 2010, which event did not take place in 2011. Additionally, $0.7 million of the overall decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising, the absence of advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2011 compared to 2010, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue.

Net revenue decreased to $144.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $149.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $5.4 million. Of the overall decrease, $4.0 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to the absence of advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2011 compared to 2010 and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011. We also benefited from revenue from a large Los Angeles promotional event during the third quarter of 2010, which event did not take place in 2011. Additionally, $1.4 million of the overall decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising, the absence of advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2011 compared to 2010, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue.

We believe that we will continue to face a challenging advertising environment during at least the remainder of 2011 as our advertising customers continue to make difficult choices in the current uncertain economic environment. Additionally, we do not have certain periodic events in 2011 such as a significant amount of political activity or World Cup, both of which positively impacted advertising revenue in 2010.

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses increased to $22.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $21.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $1.6 million. Of the overall increase, $1.0 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011 and expenses associated with LER. Additionally, $0.6 million of the overall increase came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009. As a percentage of net revenue, direct operating expenses increased to 45% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from 39% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. Direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased because direct operating expenses increased while net revenue decreased.

Direct operating expenses increased to $65.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $63.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $2.0 million. Of the overall increase, $1.9 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011 and expenses associated with LER. Additionally, $0.1 million of the overall increase came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009. As a percentage of net revenue, direct operating expenses increased to 46% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from 43% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. Direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased because direct operating expenses increased while net revenue decreased.

We believe that direct operating expenses will continue to increase during the remainder of 2011 primarily as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries during the first quarter of 2011 and expenses associated with LER.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $8.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $10.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.6 million. Of the overall decrease, $1.1 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to expenses from a large Los Angeles promotional event during the third quarter of 2010, which event did not take place in 2011. Additionally, $0.5 million of the overall decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative decreased to 17% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from 19% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased because the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses outpaced the decrease in net revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $27.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $28.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.1 million. Of the overall decrease, $0.8 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to expenses from a large Los Angeles promotional event during the third quarter of 2010, which event did not take place in 2011. Additionally, $0.3 million of the overall decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative remained at 19% for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

We believe that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase during the remainder of 2011 primarily as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries during the first quarter of 2011.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased to $3.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $3.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was attributable to an increase in professional fees. As a percentage of net revenue, corporate expenses increased to 8% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from 7% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.

Corporate expenses increased to $11.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $11.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $0.4 million. The increase was attributable to an increase in professional fees. As a percentage of net revenue, corporate expenses increased to 8% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from 7% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.

We believe that corporate expenses will continue to increase during the remainder of 2011 primarily as a result of increased professional fees.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to $5.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $4.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $0.1 million.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $14.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $14.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation as certain assets are now fully depreciated.

Operating Income. As a result of the above factors, operating income was $10.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $13.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. As a result of the above factors, operating income was $25.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $32.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $9.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $4.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $5.0 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. Those interest rate swap agreements were terminated in July 2010.

Interest expense increased to $28.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $15.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $13.1 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. Those interest rate swap agreements were terminated in July 2010.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was $4.3 million. The effective income tax rate was lower than our expected statutory rate of approximately 38% due to changes in the valuation allowance and deductions attributable to indefinite-lived intangibles. Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 was $5.1 million. The effective income tax rate was higher than our expected statutory rate of approximately 38% due to changes in the valuation allowance and deductions attributable to indefinite-lived intangibles.

As of September 30, 2011, we believe that our deferred tax assets will not be fully realized in the future and we are providing a full valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets. In determining our deferred tax assets subject to a valuation allowance, we excluded the deferred tax liabilities attributable to indefinite-lived intangibles.

Television

Net Revenue. Net revenue in our television segment decreased to $33.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $34.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.7 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising, the absence of advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2011 compared to 2010, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue. We generated a total of $4.2 million and $3.7 million in retransmission consent revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net revenue in our television segment decreased to $97.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $98.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.4 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising, the absence of advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2011 compared to 2010, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue. We generated a total of $12.8 million and $10.1 million in retransmission consent revenue for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We anticipate that retransmission consent revenue for the full year 2011 will be greater than it was for the full year 2010 and will continue to be a growing source of net revenues in future periods.

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our television segment increased to $13.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $13.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009.

Direct operating expenses in our television segment increased to $40.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $39.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in net revenue. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment decreased to $4.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $5.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment decreased to $14.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $15.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009.

Radio

Net Revenue.

The decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of advertising revenue from the World Cup in 2011 compared to 2010 and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which is not material in 2011. In addition, during the third quarter of 2010 we benefited from revenue from a large Los Angeles promotional event, which event did not take place in 2011.

Net revenue in our radio segment decreased to $47.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $51.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $3.9 million.

The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense as a result of the partial restoration of employee salaries in 2011 and expenses associated with LER. We had implemented salary reductions as a cost-savings strategy during the first quarter of 2009.

Direct operating expenses in our radio segment increased to $25.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $24.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $1.9 million.

The decrease was primarily attributable to expenses from a large Los Angeles promotional event during the third quarter of 2010, which event did not take place in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

While we have a history of operating losses in some periods and operating income in other periods, we also have a history of generating significant positive cash flows from our operations. Although we had net losses of approximately $18.1 million and $50.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, we had positive cash flow from operations of $37.1 million and $18.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We had positive cash flow from operations of $4.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 and we expect to have positive cash flow from operations for the 2011 year. We expect to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness, with cash on hand and cash flows from operations. We currently anticipate that funds generated from operations, cash on hand and available borrowings under our 2010 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Notes

On July 27, 2010, we completed the offering and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes. The Notes were issued at a discount of 98.722% of their principal amount and mature on August 1, 2017. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 8.75% per annum from the date of original issuance and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2011. We received net proceeds of approximately $388 million from the sale of the Notes (net of bond discount of $5 million and fees of $7 million), which were used to pay all indebtedness outstanding under our previous syndicated bank credit facility, terminate the related interest rate swap agreements, pay fees and expenses related to offering of the Notes and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Note Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees rank equal in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of our and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the Notes and the guarantees are effectively junior: (i) to our and the Note Guarantors’ indebtedness secured by assets that are not collateral; (ii) pursuant to an Intercreditor Agreement entered into at the same time that we entered into the 2010 Credit Facility described below; and (iii) to all of the liabilities of any of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. The Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets, as well as the pledge of the stock of substantially all of our subsidiaries, including the special purpose subsidiary formed to hold the Company’s FCC licenses.

Table of Contents

At our option, we may redeem:

 

   

prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 10% of the original principal amount of the Notes during each 12-month period beginning on August 1, 2010, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest;

 

   

prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes with the net proceeds from certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.750% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided that: (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after such redemption; and (ii) such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of closing of any such equity offering;

 

   

prior to August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest; and

 

   

on or after August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of: (i) 106.563% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2013; (ii) 104.375% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2014; (iii) 102.188% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2015; and (iv) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed on or after August 1, 2016, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In addition, upon a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, we must make an offer to repurchase all Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

Upon an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, the Notes will become due and payable: (i) immediately without further notice if such event of default arises from events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, any Note Guarantor or any restricted subsidiary; or (ii) upon a declaration of acceleration of the Notes in writing to the Company by the Trustee or holders representing 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, if an event of default occurs and is continuing. The Indenture contains additional provisions that are customary for an agreement of this type, including indemnification by us and the Note Guarantors.

2010 Credit Facility

On July 27, 2010, we also entered into a new $50 million revolving credit facility (our “2010 Credit Facility”) and terminated the amended syndicated bank credit facility agreement. Our 2010 Credit Facility consists of a three-year $50 million revolving credit facility that expires on July 27, 2013, which includes a $3 million sub-facility for letters of credit. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $0.7 million in outstanding letters of credit. In addition, we may increase the aggregate principal amount of our 2010 Credit Facility by up to an additional $50 million, subject to our satisfying certain conditions.

Borrowings under our 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at either: (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the agreement governing our 2010 Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) plus a margin of 3.375% per annum; or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 4.375% per annum. We have not drawn on our 2010 Credit Facility.

Our 2010 Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Guarantors”), which are also the Note Guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Our 2010 Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by our and the Credit Guarantors’ assets, which also secure the Notes. Our borrowings, if any, under our 2010 Credit Facility rank senior to the Notes upon the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement that we entered into in connection with our 2010 Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with certain financial covenants, relating to total leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, cash interest coverage ratio and revolving credit facility leverage ratio. The covenants become increasingly restrictive in the later years of our 2010 Credit Facility.

Upon an event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, the lenders may, among other things, suspend or terminate their obligation to make further loans to us and/or declare all amounts then outstanding under our 2010 Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement also contains additional provisions that are customary for an agreement of this type, including indemnification by us and the Credit Guarantors.

Table of Contents

In connection with our entering into the Indenture and the Credit Agreement, we and the Guarantors also entered into the following agreements:

 

   

A Security Agreement, pursuant to which we and the Guarantors each granted a first priority security interests in the collateral securing the Notes and our 2010 Credit Facility for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and the lenders under our 2010 Credit Facility; and

 

   

An Intercreditor Agreement, in order to define the relative rights of the holders of the Notes and the lenders under our 2010 Credit Facility with respect to the collateral securing our and the Guarantors’ respective obligations under the Notes and our 2010 Credit Facility; and

 

   

A Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we registered the Notes and successfully conducted an exchange offering for the Notes in unregistered form, as originally issued.

Subject to certain exceptions, both the Indenture and the Credit Agreement contain various provisions that limit our ability, among other things, to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

incur liens;

 

   

merge, dissolve, consolidate, or sell all or substantially all of our assets;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

make certain restricted payments;

 

   

declare certain dividends or distributions or repurchase shares of our capital stock;

 

   

enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and

 

   

change the nature of our business.

In addition, the Indenture contains various provisions that limit our ability to:

 

   

apply the proceeds from certain asset sales other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

 

   

restrict dividends or other payments from subsidiaries.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various provisions that limit our ability to:

 

   

dispose of certain assets; and

 

   

amend our or any guarantor’s organizational documents of the Company in any way that is materially adverse to the lenders under our 2010 Credit Facility.

Moreover, if we fail to comply with any of the financial covenants or ratios under our 2010 Credit Facility, our lenders could:

 

   

Elect to declare all amounts borrowed to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest; and/or

 

   

Terminate their commitments, if any, to make further extensions of credit.

In addition, if our total leverage ratio exceeds 6.50 to 1.00 as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, the maximum principal outstanding amount of all loans under our 2010 Credit Facility cannot exceed $25.0 million. In the event that the maximum principal outstanding amount exceeds $25.0 million in that case, we must immediately prepay outstanding revolving loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. Under our 2010 Credit Facility, our total leverage ratio may not exceed 7.00 to 1.

Debt and Equity Financing

On November 1, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a $100 million stock repurchase program. We were authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of our outstanding Class A common stock from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, block trades and private repurchases. On April 7, 2008, our Board of Directors approved an additional $100 million stock repurchase program. We have repurchased a total of 20.8 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $120.3 million under both plans from inception through September 30, 2011. Subject to certain exceptions, both the Indenture and the Credit Agreement contain various provisions that limit our ability to make future repurchases of shares of our common stock.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) decreased to $41.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from $46.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 12%. As a percentage of net revenue, consolidated adjusted EBITDA decreased to 28% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 from 31% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.

We define consolidated adjusted EBITDA as 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, other income (loss), 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 syndicated bank 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, other income (loss), income tax (expense), equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments.

Since our ability to borrow from our 2010 Credit Facility is based on a consolidated adjusted EBITDA financial covenant, we believe that it is important to disclose consolidated adjusted EBITDA to our investors. Our 2010 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants relating to the maximum total leverage ratio, maximum revolving credit leverage ratio, minimum cash interest coverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The maximum total leverage ratio, or the ratio of consolidated total debt to trailing-twelve-month consolidated adjusted EBITDA, affects our ability to borrow from our 2010 Credit Facility. Under our 2010 Credit Facility, our maximum total leverage ratio may not exceed 7.00 to 1. The total leverage ratio was as follows (in each case as of September 30): 2011, 6.9 to 1; 2010, 6.5 to 1. Therefore, we were in compliance with this covenant at each of those dates. We entered into our 2010 Credit Facility in July 2010, so we were not subject to the same calculations and covenants in prior years. However, for consistency of presentation, the foregoing historical ratios assume that the current covenant had been applicable for all periods presented.

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, other income (loss), 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.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see page 23.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $4.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $17.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. We had net loss of $6.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. Our net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was primarily the result of non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense of $14.2 million. We had net income of $11.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 and positive cash flow from operations. Our net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 was lower than cash flows from operating activities primarily due to non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expense of $14.5 million, partially offset by income from the change in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements of $12.2 million. We expect to have positive cash flow from operating activities for the 2011 year.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $7.1 million for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, we spent $5.9 million on net capital expenditures, $0.7 million related to the purchase of an FCC license and $0.6 million related to the acquisition of LER. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, we spent $5.8 million on net capital expenditures and $1.3 million on intangible assets. We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $8.2 million during the full year 2011. The amount of our anticipated capital expenditures may change based on future changes in business plans, our financial condition and general economic conditions. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash on hand and net cash flow from operations.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was $1.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash flow provided by financing activities of $17.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, we made debt payments of $1.0 million. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, we received $394.9 million of proceeds from the sale of the Notes, paid $367.0 million to pay all indebtedness outstanding under our previous syndicated bank credit facility and related interest rate swap agreements and paid $10.6 million in fees and expenses related to the Notes.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

Market risk represents the potential loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in the financial markets. We are not exposed to market risk from changes in the base rates as our debt is at a fixed rate. Since we pay interest at a fixed rate, any future increase in the variable interest rate would not affect our interest expense payments under the Notes. Our current policy prohibits entering into derivatives or other financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes.

Interest Rates

On July 27, 2010, we completed the offering and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes. The Notes were issued at a discount of 98.722% of their principal amount and mature on August 1, 2017. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 8.75% per annum from the date of original issuance and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2011. We received net proceeds of approximately $388 million from the sale of the Notes (net of bond discount of $5 million and fees of $7 million), which were used to pay all indebtedness outstanding under our previous syndicated bank credit facility, terminate the related interest rate swap agreements, pay fees and expenses related to offering of the Notes and provide capital for general corporate purposes.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Table of Contents

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
