6 terms
Adjusted OIBDA financial
"Adjusted OIBDA of $100.4 million increased $36.2 million, or 56.4%, compared to the same prior-year period."
Adjusted OIBDA is a company’s core operating profit before subtracting depreciation and amortization, further cleaned up by removing one-time or unusual items so it shows recurring cash-earning power. Think of it like measuring a car’s steady fuel efficiency after ignoring a flat tire or a rare detour—investors use it to compare underlying operational performance across periods and companies without distortion from non-recurring events or accounting timing.
Funds From Operations (FFO) financial
"Funds From Operations (FFO) 1 ... FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $63.5 million in the first quarter of 2026"
Funds from operations (FFO) is a performance measure commonly used for real estate companies that adjusts net income by adding back non‑cash items like building depreciation and removing one‑time gains or losses from property sales, to show recurring operating earnings. Investors use FFO to judge a property portfolio’s ability to generate cash for dividends and growth — think of it as measuring a car’s regular fuel efficiency rather than its accounting value or one‑off resale price.
AFFO financial
"AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $61.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $33.9 million, or 125.1%"
AFFO (Adjusted Funds from Operations) is a measure of how much cash a real estate company or investment trust generates from its core operations after subtracting routine upkeep, leasing costs and other recurring expenses. Investors use it as a rough proxy for the cash available to pay dividends or reinvest, like checking how much money remains in your household budget after paying regular bills to see what you can spend or save.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"this document and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures as described below."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
at-the-market equity offering program financial
"no shares of our common stock were sold under our at-the-market equity offering program, of which $232.5 million remains available."
A program that lets a company sell newly issued shares directly into the open market at whatever the current trading price is, usually through a broker, and do so gradually over time instead of all at once. Investors care because it can dilute existing ownership and put steady selling pressure on the stock price, while giving the company a flexible, on-demand way to raise cash — like adding small amounts of water to a pool rather than dumping in a bucket.
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) financial
"especially compared to other real estate investment trusts ("REITs")."
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate like shopping malls, apartments, or office buildings. Investors buy shares of the REIT, making it easy for people to invest in real estate without buying property themselves, and it often pays regular dividends from the rent it collects.

First Quarter 2026 Results
Consolidated Results
Reported revenues of $429.6 million increased $38.9 million, or 10.0%, for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same prior-year period.
Total operating expenses of $227.5 million increased $6.2 million, or 2.8%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, higher transit franchise costs, including higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) due to inflation, higher production expenses, and higher maintenance and utilities costs, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $107.3 million decreased $7.4 million, or 6.5%,
1
compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance and salaries, and lower credit card usage by customers, partially offset by higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, a higher allowance for bad debt and higher client entertainment expenses.
Adjusted OIBDA of $100.4 million increased $36.2 million, or 56.4%, compared to the same prior-year period.
Segment Results
Billboard
Reported billboard segment revenues of $332.9 million increased $22.2 million, or 7.1%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher proceeds from condemnations and an increase in average revenue per display (yield), including the impact of programmatic platforms on digital billboard revenues, partially offset by lost billboards in the period.
Operating expenses increased $3.5 million, or 2.4%, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease costs, higher maintenance and utilities, higher site-related costs, and higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.
SG&A expenses increased $1.3 million, or 1.9%, due primarily to higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, and a higher allowance for bad debt, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers and lower compensation-related expenses.
Adjusted OIBDA of $116.4 million increased $17.4 million, or 17.6%, compared to the same prior-year period.
Transit
Reported transit segment revenues of $95.0 million increased $17.3 million, or 22.3%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts.
Operating expenses increased $3.0 million, or 4.0%, due primarily to higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation, higher display production costs, and higher posting and rotation costs.
SG&A expenses increased $1.5 million, or 8.7%, due primarily to higher compensation-related expenses, including severance and commissions, higher professional fees, including higher software and technology expenses, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers.
Adjusted OIBDA loss decreased $12.8 million, or 90.1%, compared to the same prior-year period.
Other
Reported revenues decreased $0.6 million, or 26.1%, operating expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 16.7%, and Adjusted OIBDA decreased $0.3 million, or 60.0%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to a decrease in third-party digital equipment sales.
Corporate
Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, decreased $6.3 million, or 29.9%, compared to the same prior-year period to $14.8 million, due primarily to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance, and lower professional fees, including fees related to a management consulting project.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $36.0 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.4 million, as compared to $36.0 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million, in the same prior-year period. The weighted average cost of debt was 5.3% as of March 31, 2026 and 5.4% as of March 31, 2025.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased $0.1 million, or 20.0%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same
2
prior-year period. Cash paid for income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.4 million.
Net Income Attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Net income attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a Net loss attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. of $20.6 million in the same prior-year period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 177.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 166.4 million for the same prior-year period. Net income per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share was $0.11 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a Net loss per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share of $0.14 in the same prior-year period.
FFO
FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $63.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $37.0 million, or 139.6%, from the same prior-year period, driven primarily by higher Adjusted OIBDA.
AFFO
Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.
AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $61.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $33.9 million, or 125.1%, from the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher Adjusted OIBDA and a higher non-cash effect of straight-line rent, partially offset by lower equity earnings.
Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures
Net cash flow provided by operating activities of $75.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $41.7 million, or 124.1%, compared to $33.6 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, the timing of accounts receivables and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenues. Total capital expenditures increased $6.9 million, or 40.1%, to $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to increased growth in digital displays, increased maintenance spending for billboard display upgrades and increased spending for safety-related projects.
Dividends
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid cash dividends of $53.4 million on our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees. We announced on May 7, 2026, that our board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.30 per share payable on June 30, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2026.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, our liquidity position included unrestricted cash of $67.2 million and $494.9 million of availability under our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $5.1 million of issued letters of credit against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the revolving credit facility, and $150.0 million of additional availability under our accounts receivable securitization facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no shares of our common stock were sold under our at-the-market equity offering program, of which $232.5 million remains available. Total indebtedness as of March 31, 2026 was $2.6 billion, excluding $14.8 million of deferred financing costs, and includes a $500.0 million term loan, $450.0 million of senior secured notes and $1.7 billion of senior unsecured notes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) provided throughout this document, this document and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures as described below. We calculate and define "Adjusted OIBDA" as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions and stock-based compensation. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs. Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.
Please see Exhibits 4-5 of this release for a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

NOTES TO EXHIBITS
PRIOR PERIOD PRESENTATION CONFORMS TO CURRENT REPORTING CLASSIFICATIONS.
(a)Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of the cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.
* Calculation not meaningful.
