Statement from Senior Management

"Our strong results this quarter are further evidence of the success of our company's continuing transformation ? data-led, digital and podcast focused, along with the unparalleled audience reach of our broadcast radio assets, and supported by the largest sales force and the only unified ad tech stack in audio advertising -- all with the strong flywheel effect of our scale and leadership position," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, Inc. "These results highlight both the strong growth and potential of our digital business, including podcasting, and the strong recovery and growth potential of our radio business."

"Bob and I are pleased to report our strong top line growth was coupled with continued margin expansion, generating Adjusted EBITDA of $230 million in the third quarter. We remain confident that we'll be back to 2019 Adjusted EBITDA levels by the end of 2021, and that we will continue to grow beyond that as our investments in high growth areas and strict cost discipline continue to generate profit and Free Cash Flow," said Rich Bressler, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of iHeartMedia, Inc.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Third Quarter 2021 Consolidated Results

Our consolidated revenue increased $183.6 million, or 24.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. The increase in Consolidated revenue is attributable to the continued recovery from the macroeconomic effects of COVID-19 and the continuing growth of our operating businesses. Multiplatform revenue increased $103.9 million, or 18.7%, primarily resulting from strengthening demand for broadcast advertising compared to the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by lower political advertising revenue compared to the same period of 2020, which was a presidential election year. Digital Audio revenue increased $89.6 million, or 77.1%, driven primarily by continuing increases in demand for digital advertising and the continued growth of podcasting. Audio & Media Services revenue decreased $9.0 million due to lower political advertising revenue, partially offset by the continued recovery from the impact of COVID-19.

Consolidated direct operating expenses increased $54.9 million, or 20.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, primarily as a result of the expenses directly associated with the significant increase in revenue. The increase in direct operating expenses was driven primarily by higher content and talent and profit sharing expenses, third-party digital costs, and costs related to the return of local and national live events. The increase in Consolidated direct operating expenses was partially offset by lower employee compensation and other expenses resulting from our modernization and cost-reduction initiatives executed in 2020 and 2021.

Consolidated Selling, General & Administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $57.0 million, or 17.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. The increase in Consolidated SG&A expenses was driven primarily by increased employee compensation expenses resulting primarily from higher variable bonus expense based on financial performance and higher sales commission expenses as a result of higher revenue. In the prior year the Company did not pay bonuses to the vast majority of employees. In addition, increased headcount resulting from investments in our digital businesses contributed to the increase in Consolidated SG&A expenses. These increases were partially offset by lower trade expense due to the timing of expenses incurred in connection with the iHeartRadio Music Festival, as well as decreases in employee compensation and other expenses resulting from modernization and cost-reduction initiatives taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our consolidated GAAP Operating income was $80.1 million as compared to Operating income of $39.4 million in the third quarter of 2020, which was driven by the continued recovery from the impact of COVID-19 on our businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $230.2 million compared to $162.1 million in the prior-year period.

The Company generated operating cash flow of $95.7 million, compared to $33.3 million provided by operating cash flow in the prior-year period and generated Free Cash Flow of $45.5 million, compared to $14.3 million in the prior-year period. During the quarter, we deployed significant capital expenditures to accelerate real estate consolidation. This initiative has made certain real estate assets redundant, also enabling the Company to sell such assets to partially fund the initiative's gross capital expenditures. When such targeted real estate proceeds are included as an offset to gross capital expenditures, the Company generated $54.1 million.

New Reportable Segments

Beginning on January 1, 2021, we began reporting our financial statements based on three reportable segments: iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group, which includes all of our Digital assets including Podcasting; the iHeartMedia Multiplatform Group, which includes our Broadcast radio, Networks and Sponsorships and Events businesses; and our Audio & Media Services Group. These reporting segments reflect how senior management views the Company, align with certain leadership and organizational changes implemented in the first quarter of 2021. This structure provides improved visibility into the underlying performances, results, and margin profiles of our distinct businesses, and enables senior management to better monitor trends at the operational level and address opportunities or issues as they arise via regular review of segment-level results and forecasts with operational leaders. The Company expects that the Digital Audio segment will continue to grow at a higher rate than our other segments and is therefore expected to become a larger part of our business over time.

Additionally, beginning on January 1, 2021, Segment Adjusted EBITDA became the segment profitability metric reported to the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to, and assessing performance of, each reportable segment. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Revenue less operating expenses, excluding Restructuring expenses.

Business Segments: Results of Operations

Third Quarter 2021 Multiplatform Group Results

Revenue from our Multiplatform Group increased $103.9 million, or 18.7% YoY, primarily as a result of the continued recovery from the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Broadcast revenue grew $79.0 million, or 19.5% YoY, while Networks grew $8.9 million, or 7.5% YoY. Revenue from Sponsorship and Events increased by $13.8 million, or 47.6% YoY, primarily as a result of the return of live events. These increases were partially offset by a $15.1 million decrease in political revenue compared to the same period in 2020, which was a presidential election year.

Operating expenses increased $34.4 million, or 8.3% YoY, driven primarily by higher variable employee compensation expenses, including commission and bonus expense, as well as higher talent and profit-sharing fees, both as a result of higher revenue, and higher expenses related to the return of live events, which were partially offset by lower trade expenses resulting from the timing of expenses incurred in connection with the iHeartRadio Music Festival. These increases were partially offset by lower employee compensation and other expenses resulting from our modernization and cost-reduction initiatives executed in 2020 and early 2021.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased substantially YoY to 31.6% from 25.0%.

Third Quarter 2021 Digital Audio Group Results

Revenue from our Digital Audio Group increased $89.6 million, or 77.1% YoY, including growth from Digital, excluding Podcast revenue, which grew $48.0 million, or 51.3% YoY, driven by increased demand for digital advertising, and Podcast revenue which increased by $41.6 million, or 183.7% YoY, driven by higher revenues from the development of new podcasts as well as growth from existing podcasts. Digital Audio Group revenue increased as a result of general increased demand for digital advertising, the growing popularity of podcasting, the continued addition of premium content to our industry-leading podcast business and our improving ability to monetize our digital audiences and inventory utilizing our sales force and advertising technology platforms, partially driven by leveraging our prior strategic investments in the digital space.

Operating expenses increased $57.6 million, or 71.1% YoY, in connection with our Digital Audio Group's significant revenue growth, including the impact of higher variable employee compensation expense, variable content and third-party digital costs due to higher revenue and the development of new podcasts. In addition, operating expenses increased due to increased headcount resulting from our investments in key infrastructure to support our growing digital operations, as well as higher variable compensation expenses including sales commissions and bonus arrangements.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased YoY to 32.6% from 30.3%.

Third Quarter 2021 Audio & Media Services Group Results

Revenue from our Audio & Media Services Group decreased $9.0 million, or 11.9% YoY, due to lower political advertising revenue compared to 2020, which was a presidential election year, partially offset by the continued recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 5.6% YoY, primarily as a result of lower expenses due to our modernization and cost-reduction initiatives.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased YoY to 33.9% from 38.4%.

GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures: Consolidated

^{______________________________________________________}

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation of financial information throughout the press release.

Key Initiatives to Improve Cost Structure and Margins

In January 2020, iHeartMedia announced key modernization initiatives designed to take advantage of the significant investments that the Company has made in new technologies to build an improved operating infrastructure to upgrade products and deliver incremental cost efficiencies. This modernization is a multi-pronged set of strategic initiatives that we believe positions the Company for sustainable long-term growth, margin expansion, and value creation for shareholders.

Our investments in modernization delivered approximately $50 million of in-year savings in 2020, and achieved approximately $100 million of annualized run-rate cost savings during 2021.

In April 2020, the Company announced approximately $200 million of incremental in-year operating-expense-saving initiatives in response to the weaker economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as previously announced, the Company has implemented plans to make the majority of these savings permanent.

Liquidity and Financial Position

As of September 30, 2021, we had $369.1 million of cash on our balance sheet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash provided by operating activities was $196.6 million, cash used for investing activities was $259.9 million and cash used for financing activities was $288.1 million. On July 16, 2021, we amended the Term Loan credit facilities and proactively prepaid $250.0 million of borrowings outstanding under these facilities using cash on hand.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $101.3 million compared to $58.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased primarily due to our real estate consolidation initiatives.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $5,737.4 million of total debt and $5,368.3 million of net debt. The terms of our capital structure include no material maintenance covenants, and there are no material debt maturities prior to 2026, with the exception of our asset-backed loan facility (our "ABL"), which matures in 2023, providing structural resilience.

The Company believes its previously announced modernization initiatives and other cost saving actions - in combination with the Company's resilient capital structure - have substantially expanded the Company's financial flexibility and liquidity while positioning the Company for further margin improvement as advertising demand continues to normalize.

On October 27, 2021, iHeart Operations repurchased all of the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock with cash on hand for an aggregate price of $64.4 million ("Repurchase Price"), including accrued dividends, upon obtaining consent from the third party investor. The Repurchase Price included a negotiated make-whole premium as the redemption occurred prior to the optional redemption date set forth in the Certificate of Designation governing the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the transaction, the preferred shares were retired and cancelled.

Update on FCC Petition for Declaratory Ruling

As previously reported, following receipt of a Declaratory Ruling from the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") on November 5, 2020 allowing up to 100% of the Company's common stock to be owned by non-U.S. persons (subject to certain conditions), the Company initiated action steps to simplify its share classes and to substantially enhance the trading liquidity of its publicly listed Class A Common Stock. In January 2021, the Company completed the exchange of approximately 67 million Special Warrants into Class A and Class B Common stock. As of November 1, 2021 the Company's current Class A shares outstanding (approximately 120 million shares) represented approximately 81.7% of totally fully diluted shares and had a market value of approximately $2.4 billion based on the closing price as of November 1, 2021. This Class A share count and market value exclude the share counts and value of approximately 22 million Class B shares and approximately 5 million Special Warrants which were outstanding as of November 1, 2021, each of which is convertible 1:1 into our Class A Common Stock.

APPENDIX

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation of financial information throughout the press release.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

The following tables set forth the Company's Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, revenues excluding political advertising revenue, and Free Cash Flow and Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and Net Debt as of September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated Operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude restructuring expenses included within Direct operating expenses and SG&A expenses, and share-based compensation expenses included within SG&A expenses, as well as the following line items presented in our Statements of Operations: Depreciation and amortization, Impairment charges and Other operating expense, net. Alternatively, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude Income tax (benefit) expense, Interest expense, net, Depreciation and amortization, Loss (gain) on investments, net, Other expense, net, Equity in loss of nonconsolidated affiliates, net, Impairment charges, Other operating expense, net, Share-based compensation expense, and restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses primarily include expenses incurred in connection with cost-saving initiatives, as well as certain expenses, which, in the view of management, are outside the ordinary course of business or otherwise not representative of the Company's operations during a normal business cycle. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, among other measures, to evaluate the Company's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is among the primary measures used by management for the planning and forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of executives and other members of management. We believe this measure is an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business because it provides a link between operational performance and operating income. It is also a primary measure used by management in evaluating companies as potential acquisition targets.

The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company's management. The Company believes it helps improve investors' ability to understand the Company's operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company's results with other companies that have different capital structures or tax rates. In addition, the Company believes this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by the Company's investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry.

Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income as an indicator of operating performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of the Company's ability to fund its cash needs. As it excludes certain financial information compared with operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.

We define Free Cash Flow as Cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, which is disclosed as Purchases of property, plant and equipment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We define Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales as Free Cash Flow further adjusted to include proceeds from real estate sales. We use Free Cash Flow and Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales, among other measures, to evaluate the Company's liquidity and its ability to generate cash flow. We believe that Free Cash Flow and Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales are meaningful to investors because they provide them with a view of the Company's liquidity after deducting capital expenditures, which are considered to be a necessary component of ongoing operations and proceeds from real estate sales in the case of Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales. In addition, we believe that Free Cash Flow and Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales helps improve investors' ability to compare our liquidity with that of other companies.

Since Free Cash Flow and Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales are not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, Cash provided by operating activities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Free Cash Flow and Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

The Company presents revenue, excluding the effects of political revenue. Due to the cyclical nature of the electoral system and the seasonality of the related political revenue, management believes presenting revenue, excluding the effects of political revenue, provides additional information to investors about the Company's revenue growth from period to period.

We define Net debt as Total debt less Cash and cash equivalents. We define the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as Net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The Company uses the Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to evaluate the Company's leverage. We believe this measure is an important indicator of the Company's ability to service its long-term debt obligations.

We define total available liquidity as cash and cash equivalents plus available borrowings under our ABL Facility. We use total available liquidity to evaluate our capacity to access cash to meet obligations and fund operations.

Since these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.

As required by the SEC rules, the Company provides reconciliations below to the most directly comparable measures reported under GAAP, including (i) Adjusted EBITDA to Operating income, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), (iii) Free Cash Flow and Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales to cash provided by operating activities, (iv) revenue, excluding political advertising revenue, to revenue, and (v) Net Debt to Total Debt.

Our Earnings Call on November 4, 2021 may present guidance that includes forecasted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. The forecasted Adjusted EBITDA provided on such call is presented on a non-GAAP basis, as defined under SEC rules. A full reconciliation of the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis to its most-directly comparable GAAP metric, Operating Income, cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliation.

Predecessor - Successor Presentation

Our financial results for the periods from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 are referred to as those of the "Predecessor" period. Our financial results for the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 are referred to as those of the "Successor" period. Our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Although GAAP requires that we report on our results for the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 separately, management views the Company's operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 by combining the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 against the three months ended June 30, 2021 reported in its Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and does not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding the Company's overall operating performance. Management believes that providing revenue for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables and discussion included within this release also present the combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which we refer to herein as the results for the "three months ended June 30, 2019" represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 and the Successor period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from bankruptcy and may not be indicative of future results.

Management has provided the results for the Predecessor, Successor and combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 because it believes that the Company's financial results from 2019 provide a more meaningful comparison for its results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 than the three months ended June 30, 2020 in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 2020 revenues.
