(1) Operating expenses include direct
operating, selling, general and
administrative expenses. Included in
operating expenses are $0.3 million
and $0.4 million of non-cash stock-
based compensation for the three-
month periods ended December 31, 2012
and 2011, respectively and $0.9 and
$1.0 million of non-cash stock-based
compensation for the twelve-month
periods ended December 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively. Operating expenses
do not include corporate expenses,
depreciation and amortization,
impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale
of assets, gain (loss) on debt
extinguishment and other income
(loss).
(2) Corporate expenses include $0.6 million
of non-cash stock-based compensation
for each of the three-month periods
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and
$1.7 million and $1.3 million of non-
cash stock-based compensation for the
twelve-month periods ended December
31, 2012 and 2011, 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, other income (loss), 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 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),
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, other income (loss),
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 $324 million aggregate principal
amount of 8.750% senior secured first
lien notes due 2017 (the "Notes"),
and less interest income. Free cash
flow per share is defined as free cash
flow divided by the basic or diluted
weighted average common shares
outstanding. Free cash flow has been
presented herein for both 2012 and
2011 to exclude dividend payments.
Commenting on the Company's earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During 2012, we achieved double-digit revenue growth primarily driven by increases in political advertising, core advertising, and retransmission consent revenue. Core revenue (excluding retransmission consent revenue and political advertising revenue) from our television and radio segments outperformed their respective industry averages, and we significantly improved our free cash flow over 2011. Our television and radio platforms have become an increasingly important channel for reaching Hispanic voters, resulting in significant increases in political advertising revenue. Our audience shares remain strong in the nation's most densely populated Hispanic markets, and we believe we are well positioned to benefit as the U.S. Hispanic market continues to expand and advertisers increasingly recognize the importance of reaching our target audience."

New Credit Facility, Repurchase of Outstanding Debt and Cash Dividend



On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into a new credit facility consisting of a four year $20 million term loan facility and a four year $30 million revolving credit facility. The new credit facility replaces the Company's existing $50 million revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility and cash on hand were used to repurchase $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8.750% senior secured first lien notes due 2017 pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the indenture governing the Notes. The redemption price for the redeemed Notes was 103% of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Approximately $324 million in principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding.

Also during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company declared and paid a special cash dividend of $0.12 per share to shareholders of the Company's Class A, Class B and Class U common stock. The total amount of cash disbursed for the special dividend was $10.3 million.
