- Same Station Adjusted EBITDA Growth for Third Consecutive Year,
Excluding Political
- Completion of Significantly Accretive M&A and Swap
Transactions that Generated $146.5 Million in Gross Proceeds and

- $220 Million of Debt Paydown, Reducing Net Leverage to
4.7x
- Over $275 Million of Debt Paydown Since Emergence from Chapter
11 Equating to Approximately $13.75 per Share

Mary G. Berner, President and Chief Executive Officer of CUMULUS
MEDIA, said, “I am very proud of the Company’s 2019 results. On a
same station basis, our team has now delivered the second year in a
row of revenue growth and, excluding the impact of political, the
third year in a row of Adjusted EBITDA growth. This performance was
driven in large part by the industry-leading growth of our digital
businesses and active cost management across our platforms.
Additionally, we made strong progress against our financial goals
during the year, paying down $220 million of debt with cash from
operations and highly accretive divestitures, reducing net leverage
to 4.7x. This year’s results reflect the success of our consistent
focus on key strategies to create value for our investors.”
Berner continued, “Despite a choppy environment and an expected
political headwind, fourth quarter revenue finished in-line with
the pacing we shared during our last earnings call, and, with some
slight favorability on expenses, we delivered Adjusted EBITDA that
was somewhat better than we had indicated. As we move into the new
year, we are further expanding our delivery of compelling audio
experiences and digital offerings that connect and support our
advertisers and listeners. And, we are optimistic about 2020 and
our continuing ability to drive strong operating and financial
performance while aggressively reducing net leverage to below
4.0x.”

As previously disclosed, on November 29, 2017, the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief
under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Chapter
11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York (the “Court”). On May 10, 2018, the Court
entered an order confirming the Company’s Plan of Reorganization
(the “Plan”). On June 4, 2018, the Plan became effective in
accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from Chapter 11.
The Company's 2018 operating results and key operating performance
measures on a consolidated basis, were not materially impacted by
the reorganization.
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company reassessed its
reportable segments and concluded it has one reportable segment.
Prior to this change, the Company had two reportable segments:
Cumulus Radio Station Group and Westwood One.
References to "Successor Company" relate to the Company on and
subsequent to June 4, 2018. References to "Predecessor Company"
refer to the Company prior to June 4, 2018. For the purposes of
analyzing the results presented herein, the Company is presenting
the combined results of operations for the period June 4, 2018 to
December 31, 2018 of the Successor Company with the period January
1, 2018 to June 3, 2018 of the Predecessor Company. Although this
presentation is not in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, the Company believes
presenting such combined results allows for a more meaningful
comparison of results for the twelve-month period ended December
31, 2019 to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2018. For
more information regarding the Predecessor and Successor Company
results, please see the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”).

meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
other federal securities laws. Such statements are statements other
than historical fact and relate to our intent, belief or current
expectations primarily with respect to our future operating,
financial, and strategic performance. Any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those
contained in or implied by the forward-looking statements as a
result of various factors including, but not limited to, risks and
uncertainties related to our recent financial restructuring, the
implementation of our strategic operating plans, and other risk
factors described from time to time in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risks and
uncertainties are beyond our control, and the unexpected occurrence
or failure to occur of any such events or matters could
significantly alter our actual results of operations or financial
condition. CUMULUS MEDIA assumes no responsibility to update any

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
From time to time, we utilize certain financial measures that
are not prepared or calculated in accordance with GAAP to assess
our financial performance and profitability. Consolidated adjusted
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
("Adjusted EBITDA") is the financial metric by which management and
the chief operating decision maker allocate resources of the
Company and analyze the performance of the Company as a whole.
Management also uses this measure to determine the contribution of
our core operations to the funding of our corporate resources
utilized to manage our operations and the funding of our
non-operating expenses including debt service and acquisitions.
In determining Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes from net
income items not related to core operations and those that are
non-cash including: interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
stock-based compensation expense, gain or loss on the exchange,
sale or disposal of any assets or stations, early extinguishment of
debt, local marketing agreement fees, expenses relating to
acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring costs, reorganization
items and non-cash impairments of assets, if any.
Because of the significant effect that the Company’s
material station acquisitions and dispositions have had on our
results of operations, the Company also presents certain
financial information herein on a “Same Station” basis, both with
and excluding the effect of political advertising in order to
address the cyclical nature of the two-year election cycle. Same
Station metrics are adjusted for material station acquisitions and
dispositions as if these acquisitions and dispositions had occurred
as of the beginning of the comparable period in the prior year, as
indicated. Same station financial measures excluding the impact of
political advertising are further adjusted to exclude the impact of
political advertising in the comparable periods.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Same Station
financial measures, with and excluding the impact of political
advertising, although not measures that are calculated in
accordance with GAAP, are commonly employed by the investment
community as measures for determining the market value of a media
company and comparing the operational and financial performance
among media companies. Management has also observed that Adjusted
EBITDA and Same Station financial measures, with and excluding the
impact of political advertising, are routinely utilized to evaluate
and negotiate the potential purchase price for media companies.
Given the relevance to our overall value, management believes that
investors consider the metrics to be extremely useful.
Adjusted EBITDA and Same Station financial measures, with and
excluding the impact of political advertising, should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net
revenue, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or
any other measure for determining the Company’s operating
performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with
GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Same Station financial
measures, both with and excluding the impact of political
advertising, may be defined or calculated differently by other
companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
