Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2020 Combined Form 10-K. Subsequent events, if any, are evaluated through the date on which the financial statements are issued.
2. Revenues
Advertising revenues:  The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard, logo and transit displays. Contracts which do not meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842, Leases are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue. The majority of our advertising space contracts do not meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842 and are therefore accounted for under ASC 606. The contract revenues are recognized ratably over their contract life. Costs to fulfill a contract, which include our costs to install advertising copy onto billboards, are capitalized and amortized to Direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Other revenues:  Our other component of revenue primarily consists of production services which includes creating and printing the advertising copy. Revenue for production contracts is recognized under ASC 606. Contract revenues for production services are recognized upon satisfaction of the contract which is typically less than one week.
Arrangements with multiple performance obligations:  Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using expected cost plus margin.
Deferred revenues:  We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is not significant. For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer. The balance of deferred income is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within twelve months.
Practical expedients and exemptions: The Company is utilizing the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC 606.  We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within Direct advertising expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than one year. For contracts with customers which exceed one year, the future amount to be invoiced to the customer corresponds directly with the value to be received by the customer.
The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by source for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

4. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 17.5 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years and include 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant.
We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected

Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2009 ESPP”), approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009, expired by its terms on June 30, 2019. On May 30, 2019, our shareholders approved Lamar Advertising’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2019 ESPP”). The 2019 ESPP became effective upon the expiration of the 2009 ESPP. The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2019 ESPP was automatically increased by 86,490 shares on January 1, 2021 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2019 ESPP.

Performance-based stock compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers, employees and directors under the Incentive Plan. The number of shares to be issued, if any, will be dependent on the level of achievement of performance measures for key officers and employees, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2021 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2022. The shares subject to these awards can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100% of the target number of shares depending on the level at which the goals are attained. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has recorded $2,452 as stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards.

Senior Credit Facility
On February 6, 2020, Lamar Media entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto, under which the parties agreed to amend and restate Lamar Media’s existing senior credit facility. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017, as amended (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).
The new senior credit facility, as established by the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “senior credit facility”), consists of (i) a new $750,000 senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on February 6, 2025 (the “revolving credit facility”), (ii) a new $600,000 Term B loan facility (the “Term B loans”)  which will mature on February 6, 2027, and (iii) an incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”) pursuant to which Lamar Media may incur additional term loan tranches or increase its revolving credit facility subject to a pro forma secured debt ratio of 4.50 to 1.00, as well as certain other conditions including lender approval.  Lamar Media borrowed all $600,000 in Term B loans on February 6, 2020.  The entire amount of the Term B loans will be payable at maturity. The net proceeds from the Term B loans, together with
13

(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
borrowings under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility and a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the 3 3/4% Senior Notes due 2028 and 4% Senior Notes due 2030 (both as described below), were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and all revolving commitments under that facility were terminated. As a result of refinancing our credit facility the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $5,603 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The Term B loans mature on February 6, 2027 with no required amortization payments. The Term B loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50%. Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50%.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.25% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.25% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term B loans and revolving credit facility.
As of March 31, 2021, there were $25,000 in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $14,370 in letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2021 resulting in $710,630 of availability under its revolving credit facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on February 6, 2025
The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to:
•dispose of assets;
•incur or repay debt;
•create liens;
•make investments; and
•pay dividends.
The senior credit facility contains provisions that allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that allows Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions.
Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility, the Company must maintain a specified secured debt ratio as long as a revolving credit commitment, revolving loan or letter of credit remains outstanding, and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments.
Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the senior credit facility provisions during the periods presented.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
On December 18, 2018, Lamar Media entered into a $175,000 Receivable Financing Agreement (the “Receivable Financing Agreement”) with its wholly-owned special purpose entities, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”) maturing on December 17, 2021 (the "Accounts Receivable Securitization Program"). The
14
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.
Pursuant to two separate Purchase and Sale Agreements dated December 18, 2018, each of which is among Lamar Media as initial Servicer, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries and a Special Purpose Subsidiary, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the Special Purpose Subsidiaries. The Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and provides a performance guaranty.
On June 30, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Third Amendment increased the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio, Dilution Ratio and Days’ Sales Outstanding to 11.00% (from 8.00%), 7.00% (from 4.00%) and 75 days (from 65 days), respectively, for each of the months of June, July and August 2020. The Third Amendment did not modify any other financial covenant. Additionally, the Third Amendment established a new Minimum Funding Threshold, which requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries had the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election.
On October 23, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Receivables Financing Agreement.  The Fourth Amendment increased the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio generally to 13.00% (and up to 16.00% for up to two additional periods upon written notice from Lamar Media), and increased the maximum three month average Dilution Ratio to 5.00% for the remaining term of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment increased the Minimum Funding Threshold which, as amended, requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 70.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries had the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election.
As of March 31, 2021 there was $155,000 outstanding aggregate borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media had an additional $11,400 available for borrowing under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of March 31, 2021. The commitment fees based on the amount of unused commitments under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program were immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program will mature on December 17, 2021. Lamar Media may amend the facility to extend the maturity date, enter into a new securitization facility with a different maturity date, or refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program using borrowings under its senior credit facility or from other financing sources.
The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged accounts receivable and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investment contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt (including current maturities) was $2,880,757 which exceeds the carrying amount of $2,880,369 as of March 31, 2021. The majority of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded debt (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and the remaining is valued based on quoted prices for similar debt (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).
12. New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 - Income Taxes. This guidance is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 and the impact of the adoption is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
13. Dividends/Distributions
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company declared and paid cash distributions in an aggregate amount of $75,818 or $0.75 per share and $100,687 or $1.00 per share, respectively. The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRSs), the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount of $91 or $15.95 per share for each period.
14. Information about Geographic Areas
Revenues from external customers attributable to foreign countries totaled $4,964 and $7,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net carrying value of long-lived assets located in foreign countries totaled $9,359 and $8,727 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. All other revenues from external customers and long-lived assets relate to domestic operations.
15. Stockholders’ Equity
On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as its sales agents (each a “Sales Agent”, and collectively, the “Sales Agents”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000, through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals.
Sales of the Class A common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Class A common stock under the Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the Sales Agreement.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties described in the section of this combined report on Form 10-Q entitled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in Item 1A to the 2020 Combined Form 10-K filed on February 26 2021, and as such risk factors may be further updated or supplemented, from time to time, in our future combined Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. You should carefully consider each of these risks and uncertainties in evaluating the Company’s and Lamar Media’s financial conditions and results of operations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These statements speak only as of the date of this document, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the statements, except as may be required by law.
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto.
Overview
The Company’s net revenues are derived primarily from the rental of advertising space on outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. Revenue growth is based on many factors that include the Company’s ability to increase occupancy of its existing advertising displays; raise advertising rates; and acquire new advertising displays and its operating results are therefore affected by general economic conditions, as well as trends in the advertising industry. Advertising spending is particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions which affect the rates that the Company is able to charge for advertising on its displays and its ability to maximize advertising sales or occupancy on its displays.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 and the related government-imposed restrictions and social distancing measures implemented throughout the world have reduced demand for out-of-home advertising. Beginning in late March 2020, large public events were cancelled, and governments began imposing restrictions on non-essential activities, which in turn led to advertisers suspending, delaying or cancelling their advertising campaigns. While government-imposed restrictions have eased, they continue to have an adverse impact on the volume of vehicles on roadways (particularly in larger markets), pedestrians in airports and riders on public transit and numerous advertising customer segments including, but not limited to, entertainment, retail, restaurant and amusement advertisers.
As a result, demand for billboard, transit and airport advertising declined, which has had an adverse impact on our revenues and financial position. The decrease in outdoor advertising demand during the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulted in a 8.8% decrease in our consolidated net revenues as compared to the same period in 2020. As revenues declined, the Company responded through a variety of cost saving and liquidity measures, which included reductions in our transit and airport franchise costs and billboard lease costs. As a result of these cost saving measures, our consolidated operating costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on disposition of assets) decreased by $28.6 million, or 11.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the same period in 2020.
We observed an improvement in customer activity beginning in June 2020 and through March 2021 as the government-imposed restrictions on travel were eased and more of the population became vaccinated. Accordingly, we are not actively pursuing additional cost saving measures, and are resuming acquisition activities and spending on capital projects. However, we cannot predict the length or strength of the recovery in advertising demand due to continued impact of the pandemic on the overall U.S. and global economy, and new or renewed government-imposed restrictions on travel that may be enacted in the future.
We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and we may access the debt and/or equity capital markets for additional liquidity, if necessary.
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are continuing to evaluate our quarterly dividend plans for 2021. This evaluation includes ensuring the Company remains in compliance with its REIT dividend requirements for the year. On February 25, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.75 per common share, paid on March 31,
31
2021. Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company expects aggregate dividends for 2021 to be $3.00 per common share, including the dividend paid on March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, we did not incur any impairment charges related to goodwill or long-lived assets (including operating lease right of use assets). We also did not incur any significant credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
While some of our corporate, front office and sales workforce continues to work from home, a large majority has returned to their offices while adhering to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local governmental guidelines and recommendations. The impacts of working from home have been minimal on productivity. Also, while working from home has minimally impacted our processes, there have been no material impacts to our internal control environment.
We continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and stockholders.
Acquisitions and capital expenditures
Historically, the Company has made strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets to increase the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates in existing and new markets. The Company continues to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise. The Company has financed its historical acquisitions and intends to finance any future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its senior credit facility or the issuance of debt or equity securities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Sources of Cash” for more information. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company completed acquisitions for a total cash purchase price of approximately $3.3 million. See Uses of Cash – Acquisitions for more information.
The Company’s business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs associated with the construction of new billboard displays, the entrance into and renewal of logo sign and transit contracts, and the purchase of real estate and operating equipment. The following table presents a breakdown of capitalized expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management reviews our performance by focusing on several key performance indicators not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe these non-GAAP performance indicators are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Included in our analysis of our results of operations are discussions regarding earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and acquisition-adjusted net revenue.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense (income), loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt and investments, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposition of assets and investments and capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net.
32
FFO is defined as net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate assets and investments and real estate related depreciation and amortization and including adjustments to eliminate unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.
We define AFFO as FFO before (i) straight-line income and expense; (ii) capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net (iii) stock-based compensation expense; (iv) non-cash portion of tax expense (benefit); (v) non-real estate related depreciation and amortization; (vi) amortization of deferred financing costs; (vii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (viii) non-recurring infrequent or unusual losses (gains); (ix) less maintenance capital expenditures; and (x) an adjustment for unconsolidated affiliates and non-controlling interest.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue adjusts our net revenue for the prior period by adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets before our acquisition of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the current period. In calculating acquisition-adjusted revenue, therefore, we include revenue generated by assets that we did not own in the period but acquired in the current period. We refer to the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the acquired assets during the prior period that corresponds with the current period in which we owned the assets (to the extent within the period to which this report relates) as “acquisition net revenue”. In addition, we also adjust the prior period to subtract revenue generated by the assets that have been divested since the prior period and, therefore, no revenue derived from those assets is reflected in the current period.
Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are not intended to replace net income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Rather, adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. We believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for purposes of decision-making and for evaluating our core operating results; (2) adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the industry to measure operating performance as depreciation and amortization may vary significantly among companies depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (3) acquisition-adjusted net revenue is a supplement to net revenue to enable investors to compare period-over-period results on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions and divestures, which reflects our core performance and organic growth (if any) during the period in which the assets were owned and managed by us; (4) adjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO each provide investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature; and (5) each provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies.
Our measurement of adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue may not, however, be fully comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, FFO, AFFO and acquisition-adjusted net revenue to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, have been included herein.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended March 31, 2020
Net revenues decreased $35.7 million or 8.8% to $370.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $406.6 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in billboard and transit net revenues of $21.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively, over the same period in 2020, which related to the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was a $33.3 million decrease in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represents a decrease of 8.2%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $33.3 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to a $21.8 million and $11.2 million decrease in billboard and transit net revenues, respectively, which are due to the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on disposition of assets, decreased $28.6 million, or 11.4%, to $221.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $250.2 million in the same period in 2020. The $28.6 million decrease over the prior year is comprised of a $28.8 million decrease in total direct, general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) primarily related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets, offset by a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation.
33
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.6 million to $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $62.3 million for the same period in 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a gain on disposition of assets of $0.4 million primarily resulting from transactions related to billboard locations.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased by $7.6 million to $88.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $96.6 million for the same period in 2020.
The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $21.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, a $3.4 million increase over the same period in 2020. The loss on debt extinguishment during the three months ended March 31, 2021 relates to the early repayment of our 5 3/4% Senior Notes.
Interest expense decreased $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $28.2 million as compared to $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily related to the Company’s debt transactions completed in 2020 and 2021, as well as a reduction in our senior credit facility interest rates.
The decrease in operating income and increase in loss on extinguishment of debt, offset by the decrease in interest expense, resulted in a $2.7 million decrease in net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 2.6%, which differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to our qualification for taxation as a REIT and adjustments for foreign items.
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $38.3 million, as compared to net income of $40.5 million for the same period in 2020.
Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2019 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2020 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 by adding to or subtracting from it the net revenue generated by the acquired or divested assets prior to our acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Reconciliations of 2020 reported net revenue to 2020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, as well as a comparison of 2020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2021 reported net revenue for the three months ended March 31, are provided below:

The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to a decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net) of $16.9 million, and was offset by a decrease in total general and administrative and corporate expenses of $10.5 million, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under the senior credit facility. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the borrower under the senior credit facility and maintains all corporate operating cash balances. Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media.
Sources of Cash
Total Liquidity. As of March 31, 2021 we had approximately $765.1 million of total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $43.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $710.6 million of availability under the revolving portion of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and $11.4 million of availability under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. We expect our total liquidity to be adequate for the Company to meet its operational requirements for the next twelve months. We will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if necessary, may access the debt and/or equity markets for additional liquidity. We are currently in compliance with the maintenance covenant included in the senior credit facility and we would remain in compliance after giving effect to borrowing the full amount available to us under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $229.1 million and $167.3 million, respectively. The decrease in working capital of $61.8 million is primarily due to an increase in current maturities of long-term debt of $32.6 million and a decrease in receivables, net of $22.3 million as of March 31, 2021.
Cash Generated by Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our cash provided by operating activities was $83.3 million and $62.9 million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the same period in 2020 relates to a decrease in accounts receivables offset by an increase in operating lease liabilities. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 2021 in excess of our cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and dividends, as described herein. However, we will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and if we are not able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations during 2021 to meet our cash needs, we believe we have sufficient liquidity available under our revolving credit facility to meet our operating cash needs for the next twelve months.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  On December 18, 2018, we entered into the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program provides up to $175.0 million in borrowing capacity, plus an accordion feature that would permit the borrowing capacity to be increased by up to $125.0 million. Borrowing capacity under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. In connection with the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, Lamar Media and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Originators”) sell and/or contribute their existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to one of two special purpose subsidiaries, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC (the “QRS SPV”) and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lamar Media. Existing and future accounts receivable relating to Lamar Media and its qualified REIT subsidiaries will be sold and/or contributed to the QRS SPV and existing and future accounts receivable relating to Lamar Media’s taxable REIT subsidiaries will be sold and/or contributed to the TRS SPV. Each of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries has granted the lenders party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program a security interest in all of its assets, which consist of the accounts receivable and related assets sold or contributed to them, as described above, in order to secure the obligations of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries under the agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, Lamar Media has agreed to service the accounts receivable on behalf of the two Special Purpose Subsidiaries for a fee. Lamar Media has also agreed to guaranty its performance in its capacity as servicer and originator, as well as the performance of the Subsidiary Originators, of their obligations under the agreements governing the Account Receivable Securitization Program. None of Lamar Media, the Subsidiary Originators or the Special Purpose Subsidiaries guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. In addition, each of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the assets of such Special Purpose Subsidiary before the assets become available to Lamar Media.  Accordingly, the assets of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries are not available to pay creditors of Lamar Media or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from receivables in excess of the amounts required to repay the lenders and the other creditors of the Special Purpose Subsidiaries may be remitted to Lamar Media.  
36
On June 30, 2020 Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program which increased the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio, Dilution Ratio, and Days’ Sales Outstanding to 11.00% (from 8.00%), 7.00% (from 4.00%) and 75 days (from 65 days), respectively. Additionally, the Amendment establishes a new Minimum Funding Threshold, which requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 50.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries have the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020, at their election.
On October 23, 2020, Lamar Media and the Special Purpose Subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Subsequent Amendment”) to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. The Subsequent Amendment increases the maximum three month average Delinquency Ratio generally to 13.00% (and up to 16.00% for up to two additional periods upon written notice from Lamar Media), and increases the maximum three month average Dilution Ratio to 5.00% for the remaining term of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Additionally, the Subsequent Amendment increases the Minimum Funding Threshold which, as amended, requires the Special Purpose Subsidiaries to maintain minimum borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program on any day equal to the lesser of (i) 70.00% of the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders or (ii) the Borrowing Base, though the Special Purpose Subsidiaries have the right to borrow less than the Minimum Funding Threshold during certain periods prior to December 21, 2020 at their election.
As of March 31, 2021, there was $155.0 million in outstanding aggregate borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. Lamar Media had approximately $11.4 million of unused availability under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program as of March 31, 2021.
The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program will mature on December 17, 2021. Lamar Media may amend the facility to extend the maturity date, enter into a new securitization facility with a different maturity date, or refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program using borrowings under its senior credit facility or from other financing sources.
“At-the-Market” Offering Program. On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as our sales agents (each a “Sales Agent”, and collectively, the “Sales Agents”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals. Sales of the Class A common stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Class A common stock under the Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the Sales Agreement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of the Class A common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of existing indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition of outdoor advertising assets and businesses and other related investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not issue any shares under this program. The Sales Agreement expired by its terms on May 1, 2021. The Company may enter into a new sales agreement to consummate “at-the-market-offerings” in the future.
Shelf Registration Statement. On August 6, 2018, the Company filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement (No. 333-226614) that registered the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of additional shares of our Class A common stock.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not issue any shares under this shelf registration, however, we may issue additional shares under the shelf registration statement in the future in connection with future acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes. 
Credit Facilities. On February 6, 2020, Lamar Media entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto, under which the parties agreed to amend and restate Lamar Media’s existing senior credit facility. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017, as amended (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).
The senior credit facility, as established by the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “senior credit facility”), consists of (i) a new $750.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on February 6, 2025 (the “revolving credit facility”), (ii) a new $600.0 million Term B loan facility (the “Term B loans”)  which will mature on February
37
6, 2027, and (iii) an incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”) pursuant to which Lamar Media may incur additional term loan tranches or increase its revolving credit facility subject to a pro forma secured debt ratio calculated as described under “Restrictions under Senior Credit Facility” of 4.50 to 1.00, as well as certain other conditions including lender approval. Lamar Media borrowed all $600.0 million in Term B loans on February 6, 2020. The entire amount of the Term B loans will be payable at maturity.
The Term B loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50%. Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50%. The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.25% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.25% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term B loans and revolving credit facility.
As of March 31, 2021 the aggregate balance outstanding under the senior credit facility was $625.0 million, consisting of $600.0 million in Term B loans aggregate principal balance and $25.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Lamar Media had approximately $710.6 million of unused capacity under the revolving credit facility.
Note Offerings. On January 22, 2021, Lamar Media completed, an institutional private placement of $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3 5/8% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “3 5/8% Senior Notes”). The institutional private placement on January 22, 2021 resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $542.5 million. Lamar Media used the proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit facility and Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, to redeem all of its outstanding $650.0 million aggregate principal amount 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026. See Uses of Cash- Note Redemption for more information.
Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity
Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting internally generated cash flow are general economic conditions, specific economic conditions in the markets where the Company conducts its business and overall spending on advertising by advertisers. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 2021 in excess of our cash needs for operations, capital expenditures and dividends, as described herein. However, we will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and if we are not able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations during 2021 to meet our cash needs we believe we have sufficient liquidity available under our revolving credit facility to meet our operating cash needs for the next twelve months.
Credit Facilities and Other Debt Securities. The Company and Lamar Media must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to the senior credit facility, its outstanding debt securities and its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.
Restrictions Under Debt Securities. The Company and Lamar Media must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to its outstanding debt securities. Currently, Lamar Media has outstanding the $600.0 million 3 3/4% Senior Notes issued February 2020, the $550.0 million 4% Senior Notes issued February 2020 and August 2020, the $400.0 million 4 7/8% Senior Notes issued in May 2020 and the $550.0 million 3 5/8% Senior Notes issued in January 2021.
The indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur additional indebtedness, but permit the incurrence of indebtedness (including indebtedness under the senior credit facility), (i) if no default or event of default would result from such incurrence and (ii) if after giving effect to any such incurrence, the leverage ratio (defined as the sum of (x) total consolidated debt plus (y) the aggregate liquidation preference of any preferred stock of Lamar Media’s restricted subsidiaries to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA (as defined in the indentures)) would be less than 7.0 to 1.0. Currently, Lamar Media is not in default under the indentures of any of its outstanding notes and, therefore, would be permitted to incur additional indebtedness subject to the foregoing provision.
In addition to debt incurred under the provisions described in the preceding paragraph, the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes permit Lamar Media to incur indebtedness pursuant to the following baskets:
•up to $2.0 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility;
•indebtedness outstanding on the date of the indentures or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt;
38
•inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries or between restricted subsidiaries;
•certain purchase money indebtedness and capitalized lease obligations to acquire or lease property in the ordinary course of business that cannot exceed the greater of $50.0 million or 5% of Lamar Media’s net tangible assets;
•additional debt not to exceed $75.0 million; and
•up to $500.0 million of permitted securitization financings.
Restrictions Under Senior Credit Facility. Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under the senior credit facility. If the Company or Lamar Media fails to comply with these tests, the lenders under the senior credit facility will be entitled to exercise certain remedies, including the termination of the lending commitments and the acceleration of the debt payments under the senior credit facility. At March 31, 2021 we were, and currently, we are, in compliance with all such tests under the senior credit facility.
Lamar Media must maintain a secured debt ratio, defined as total consolidated secured debt of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (including capital lease obligations), minus the lesser of (x) $150.0 million and (y) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (other than the Special Purpose Subsidiaries (as defined above under Sources of Cash – Accounts Receivable Securitization Program)) to EBITDA, as defined below, for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, of less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0.
Lamar Media is restricted from incurring additional indebtedness subject to exceptions, one of which is that it may incur additional indebtedness not exceeding the greater of $250.0 million or 6% of its total assets.
Lamar Media is also restricted from incurring additional unsecured senior indebtedness under certain circumstances unless, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, it is in compliance with the secured debt ratio covenant and if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, Lamar Media would have a total debt ratio, defined as (a) total consolidated debt (including subordinated debt) of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries as of any date minus the lesser of (i) $150.0 million and (ii) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (other than the Special Purpose Subsidiaries) to (b) EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended, is less than 7.0 to 1.0. 
Lamar Media is also restricted from incurring additional subordinated indebtedness under certain circumstances unless, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, it is in compliance with the secured debt ratio covenant and its total debt ratio is less than 7.0 to 1.0.
Under the senior credit facility, “EBITDA” means, for any period, operating income for Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated (A) before (i) taxes, (ii) interest expense, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization, (v) any other non-cash income or charges accrued for such period, (vi) charges and expenses in connection with the senior credit facility, any actual or proposed acquisition, disposition or investment (excluding, in each case, purchases and sales of advertising space and operating assets in the ordinary course of business) and any actual or proposed offering of securities, incurrence or repayment of indebtedness (or amendment to any agreement relating to indebtedness), including any refinancing thereof, or recapitalization and (vii) any loss or gain relating to amounts paid or earned in cash prior to the stated settlement date of any swap agreement that has been reflected in operating income for such period) and (viii) any loss on sales of receivables and related assets to a Securitization Entity in connection with a Permitted Securitization Financing)  and (B) after giving effect to the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies projected by Lamar Media in good faith to be realized as a result of any acquisition, investment, merger, amalgamation or disposition within 18 months of any such acquisition, investment, merger, amalgamation or disposition, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such action; provided, (a) the aggregate amount for all such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies will not exceed an amount equal to 15% of EBITDA for the applicable four quarter period and (b) any such adjustment to EBITDA may only take into account cost savings, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies that are (I) directly attributable to such acquisition, investment, merger, amalgamation or disposition, (II) expected to have a continuing impact on Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries and (III) factually supportable, in each case all as certified by the chief financial officer of Lamar Media) on behalf of Lamar Media, and excluding (except to the extent received or paid in cash by Lamar Advertising, Lamar Media or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than the special purpose subsidiaries) income or loss attributable to equity in affiliates for such period), excluding any extraordinary and unusual gains or losses during such period, and excluding the proceeds of any casualty events and
39
dispositions. For purposes hereof, the effect thereon of any adjustments required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R shall be excluded. If during any period for which EBITDA is being determined, Lamar Media has consummated any acquisition or disposition, EBITDA will be determined on a pro forma basis as if such acquisition or disposition had been made or consummated on the first day of such period.
The Company believes that its current level of cash on hand, availability under the senior credit facility and future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet its operating needs for the next twelve months. All debt obligations are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.
Restrictions under Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  The agreements governing the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and termination event provisions, including but not limited to those providing for the acceleration of amounts owed under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program if, among other things, the Special Purpose Subsidiaries fail to make payments when due, Lamar Media, the Subsidiary Originators or the Special Purpose Subsidiaries become insolvent or subject to bankruptcy proceedings or certain judicial judgments, breach certain representations and warranties or covenants or default under other material indebtedness, a change of control occurs, or if Lamar Media fails to maintain the maximum secured debt ratio of 4.5 to 1.0 required under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility.
Uses of Cash
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were approximately $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. We anticipate our 2021 total capital expenditures to be approximately $150.0 million.
Acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company completed acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.3 million, which were financed using available cash on hand.
Note Redemption. On February 3, 2021, the Company redeemed in full all $650.0 million aggregate principal amount 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026. The 5 3/4% Senior Notes redemption was completed using the proceeds received from the 3 5/8% Senior Notes offering completed on January 22, 2021, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit facility and Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. The notes were redeemed at a redemption price equal to 102.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the redemption date. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $21.6 million related to the note redemption. See Sources of Cash- Note Offerings for more information.
Dividends. On February 25, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.75 per share, paid on March 31, 2021 to its stockholders of record of its Class A common stock and Class B common stock on March 22, 2021. Subject to approval of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company expects aggregate quarterly distributions to stockholders in 2021 will be $3.00 per common share, including the dividend paid on March 31, 2021.
As a REIT, the Company must annually distribute to its stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRSs”), the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Special Purpose Acquisition Company. On April 6, 2021 Lamar Partnering Corporation (“LPC”), a newly formed special purpose acquisition company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. LPC’s proposed public offering is expected to have a base offering size of $300.0 million, or up to $345.0 million if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full. The Company, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, would own approximately 20% of LPC’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon the consummation of the proposed offering. The Company intends to commit to acquire up to $100.0 million of forward purchase units in a forward purchase agreement that would close concurrently with LPC’s consummation of an initial business combination. As of March 31, 2021 the Company incurred $0.6 million in deferred offering costs related to the proposed offering, which is included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
40
Stock and Debt Repurchasing Program. On March 16, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Additionally, the Board of Directors has authorized Lamar Media to repurchase up to $250.0 million in outstanding senior or senior subordinated notes and other indebtedness outstanding from time to time under its senior credit agreement. The repurchase program will expire on September 30, 2021 unless extended by the Board of Directors. There were no repurchases under the program as of March 31, 2021. The Company’s management may opt not to make any repurchases under the program, or may make aggregate purchases less than the total amount authorized.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet commitments consist of guaranteed minimum payments to local transit municipalities and airport authorities for agreements which entitle us to rent advertising space to customers, in airports and on buses, benches or shelters.
Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2021, we had outstanding debt of approximately $2.84 billion. In the future, Lamar Media has principal reduction obligations and revolver commitment reductions under the senior credit facility. In addition, it has fixed commercial commitments.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in Item 7 of our 2020 Combined Form 10-K.
Accounting Standards Update
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 - Income Taxes. This guidance is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 and the impact of the adoption is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

LAMAR MEDIA CORP.
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes thereto.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended March 31, 2020
Net revenues decreased $35.7 million or 8.8% to $370.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $406.6 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in billboard and transit net revenues of $21.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively, over the same period in 2020, which related to the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was a $33.3 million decrease in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represents a decrease of 8.2%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $33.3 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to a $21.8 million and $11.2 million decrease in billboard and transit net revenues, respectively, which are due to the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Total operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on disposition of assets, decreased $28.6 million, or 11.4%, to $221.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $250.1 million in the same period in 2020. The $28.6 million decrease over the prior year is comprised of a $28.8 million decrease in total direct, general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding stock-based compensation) primarily related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets, offset by a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.6 million to $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $62.3 million for the same period in 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Lamar Media recognized a gain on disposition of assets of $0.4 million, primarily resulting from transactions related to billboard locations.
Due to the above factors, operating income decreased by $7.6 million to $89.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $96.7 million for the same period in 2020.
Lamar Media recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a $3.4 million increase over the same period in 2020. The loss on debt extinguishment during the three months ended March 31, 2021 relates to the early repayment of our 5 3/4% Senior Notes during the period.
Interest expense decreased $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $28.2 million as compared to $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily related to Lamar Media's debt transactions completed in 2020 and 2021, as well as a reduction in our senior credit facility interest rates.
The decrease in operating income and increase in loss on extinguishment of debt, offset by the decrease in interest expense, resulted in a $2.7 million decrease in net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 2.6%, which differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to our qualification for taxation as a REIT and adjustments for foreign items.
As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $38.5 million, as compared to net income of $40.6 million for the same period in 2020.
Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2019 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our 2020 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 by adding to or subtracting from it the net revenue generated by the acquired or divested assets prior to our acquisition or divestiture of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Reconciliations of 2020 reported net revenue to 2020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, as well as a comparison of 2020 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to 2021 reported net revenue for the three months ended March 31, are provided below:

The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to a decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net) of $16.9 million, and was offset by a decrease in total general and administrative and corporate expenses of $10.5 million, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased from $97.7 million in 2020 to $96.2 million for the same period in 2021, a decrease of 1.5%. AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased 3.0% to $116.8 million as compared to $113.4 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in AFFO was primarily attributable to the decrease in total general and administrative and corporate expenses (excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense) offset by a decrease in our gross margin (net revenue less direct advertising expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and capitalized contract fulfillment costs, net).

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.
Lamar Advertising is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Lamar Media. The information below summarizes the Company’s interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at March 31, 2021, and should be read in conjunction with Note 10 of the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Lamar Media has variable-rate debt outstanding under its senior credit facility and its Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.  Because interest rates may increase or decrease at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in interest rates may have on the applicable borrowings outstanding. Increases in the interest rates applicable to these borrowings would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company’s net income.
At March 31, 2021 there was approximately $778.5 million of indebtedness outstanding under the senior credit facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, or approximately 27.0% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for 2021 with respect to borrowings under the senior credit facility and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program was $3.4 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to these borrowings during 2021 was 1.4%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200 basis points higher (that is 3.4% rather than 1.4%), then the Company’s 2021 interest expense would have increased by approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The Company attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by issuing fixed rate long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the amount of the Company’s variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition, the Company has the capability under the senior credit facility to fix the interest applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted Base Rate plus the applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months (in certain cases with the consent of the lenders), which would allow the Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. In the event of an increase in interest rates, the Company may take further actions to mitigate its exposure. The Company cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or that, if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.
