NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR 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 Companys 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 Companys consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2006 Combined
Form 10-K.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plan. Lamars 1996 Equity Incentive Plan has reserved 10 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 which primarily includes 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
under SFAS 123(R). The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly
subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company had no option
grants during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Stock Purchase Plan. Lamars 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan has reserved 924,000 shares of
common stock for issuance to employees. The following is a summary of ESPP share activity for the
three months ended March 31, 2007:

Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to
key officers, employees and directors under our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan based on the
achievement of certain Company performance measures for fiscal 2007. The number of shares to be
issued; if any, will be dependent on the level of achievement of these performance measures as
determined by the Companys Compensation Committee based on our 2007 results and will be issued in
the first quarter of 2008. 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. Based on the Companys performance through March 31, 2007, the Company has accrued $699
as compensation expense related to these agreements.
Stock grants to option holders. On March 30, 2007, the Company issued Class A common stock in
respect of all shares underlying vested, unexercised options held as of March 22, 2007 (the vested
option shares) by an active employee, consultant or director of the Company. Holders of vested
options shares received a stock award with a fair market value of $3.25 multiplied by the number of
vested options shares held by such holder. The Company determined the number of shares issuable
based on a fair market value of $63.77 per share, which was the average of the closing prices of
the Class A common stock during the period from March 1, 2007 through and including March 21, 2007.
The Company recorded $6,961 as compensation expense related to this grant.

LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
8. Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries
Separate financial statements of each of the Companys direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries
that have guaranteed Lamar Medias obligations with respect to its publicly issued notes
(collectively, the Guarantors) are not included herein because the Company has no independent
assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and the only
subsidiaries that are not a guarantors are in the aggregate minor. Lamar Medias ability to make
distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under the terms of its bank credit facility and
the indentures relating to Lamar Medias outstanding notes. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006, the net assets restricted as to transfers from Lamar Media Corp. to Lamar Advertising Company
in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances were $327,630 and $407,894, respectively.
9. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic
earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if the Companys options and warrants were converted to common
stock. The number of dilutive shares
resulting from this calculation is 842,221 and 847,519 for the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006. Diluted earnings per share should also reflect the potential dilution that could occur
if the Companys convertible debt was converted to common stock. The number of potentially dilutive
shares related to the Companys convertible debt excluded from the calculation because of their
antidilutive effect is 5,611,569 and 5,581,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006,
respectively.
10. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. Upon the adoption of FIN 48, the Company
commenced a review of all open tax years in all jurisdictions. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have
a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As a result of
the adoption, the Companys total balance for unrecognized tax benefits is $0.3 million as of March
31, 2007. If the benefits were recognized in future periods they would have an impact on the
Companys future effective tax rate.
In addition, management has accrued in the consolidated financial statements any penalties and
interest, to the extent they would be assessed, on any underpayment of income tax. Such accruals
have been and will continue to be the Companys accounting policy into the future. As of March 31,
2007, management had accrued $0.1 million of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized income
tax benefits, which was included in our accrued current tax liability in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2007, management does not anticipate any significant changes in the balance of
unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
The Company files federal and state income tax returns in the U. S. as well as in Canada. The
Company also files income tax returns in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. With few exceptions, the
Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for
years before 2002. Due to net operating loss carryovers, the Company is subject to examination
adjustments to its net operating loss carryovers by tax authorities going back to 1997.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed an examination of our federal income tax return for
2003 with no changes to taxable income. The State of New York has commenced an audit of our 2003
New York income tax return. However, the audit has not been finalized. We currently do not expect
any changes in taxable income to result from this audit.
11. Dividend to Common Shareholders
The Companys board of directors declared a special dividend of $3.25 per share of Common Stock in
February 2007. The dividend was paid on March 30, 2007 to stockholders of record on March 22, 2007
in the aggregate amount of $318,303.
11
12. New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the (FASB) issued Statement of Accounting Standard No. 159, The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115 (Statement 159). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on these
instruments in earnings. Statement 159 is effective as of January 1, 2008. The Company does not
expect any material financial statement implications relating to the adoption of this Statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (Statement 157). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that
require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those
accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly,
Statement 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the
application of Statement 157 will change current practice. Statement 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within these fiscal years. We are assessing the impact of Statement 157, which we do not expect to
have an impact on our financial position, results or operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion 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 ForwardLooking Statements
and in Item 1A to the 2006 Combined Form 10-K. You should carefully consider each of these risks
and uncertainties in evaluating the Companys and Lamar Medias 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, 2007 and 2006. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes.
OVERVIEW
The Companys net revenues, which represent gross revenues less commissions paid to advertising
agencies that contract for the use of advertising displays on behalf of advertisers, are derived
primarily from the sale of advertising on outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the
Company. The Company relies on sales of advertising space for its revenues, 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 we are able to charge for advertising on our displays and our ability to
maximize occupancy on our displays.
Since December 31, 2001, the Company has increased the number of outdoor advertising displays it
operates by approximately 5% by completing strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising and
transit assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $994 million, which included the
issuance of 4,050,958 shares of Lamar Advertising Company Class A common stock valued at the time
of issuance at approximately $153 million and warrants valued at the time of issuance of
approximately $2 million. The Company has financed its recent acquisitions and intends to finance
its future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its bank credit agreement and
the issuance of Class A common stock. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below. As a result of
acquisitions, the operating performances of individual markets and of the Company as a whole are
not necessarily comparable on a year-to-year basis. The Company expects to continue to pursue
acquisitions that complement the Companys business.
Growth of the Companys business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs
associated with new billboard displays, replacement of damaged billboard displays, 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, 2007 and
2006:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months ended March 31, 2007 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2006
Net revenues increased $21.9 million or 8.6% to $275.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 from $253.3 million for the same period in 2006. This increase was attributable primarily to
an increase in billboard net revenues of $22.5 million or 9.9% over the prior period, a $.4 million
increase in logo sign revenue, which represents an increase of 3.4% over the prior period, and a
$1.0 million decrease in transit revenue over the prior period, which represents a decrease of 7.8%
The increase in billboard net revenue of $22.5 million was generated by acquisition activity of
approximately $4.6 million and internal growth of approximately $17.9 million, while the increase
in logo sign revenue of $.4 million was generated by internal growth across various markets within
the logo sign programs of approximately $1.4 million, which was offset by the loss of $1.0 million
of revenue due to the loss of the Companys Texas logo contract. The decrease in transit revenue of
approximately $1.0 million was primarily due to the loss of various transit contracts.
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to acquisition-adjusted net
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006, increased $19.0 million or 7.4% as a result of
net revenue internal growth. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets,
increased $16.2 million or 10.5% to $170.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007
from $154.5 million for the same period in 2006. There was a $13.1 million increase as a result of
additional operating expenses related to the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and
increases in costs in operating the Companys core assets and a $3.1 million increase in corporate
expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively constant for the three months ended March
31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to consistent levels of capital
expenditures between the two periods presented.
Due to the above factors, operating income increased $4.2 million to $31.5 million for three
months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $27.3 million for the same period in 2006.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recognized a $15.4 million
gain as a result of the sale of a private company in which the Company had an ownership interest.
Interest expense increased $7.0 million from $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006 to $31.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to increased debt balances as
well as an increase in interest rates on variable rate debt.
The increase in operating income and the gain on disposition of investment, offset by the increase in interest expense described above
resulted in a $12.9 million increase in income before income taxes. This increase in income
resulted in an increase in the income tax expense of $5.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 over the same period in 2006. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
2007 was 43.4%, which is greater than the statutory rates due to permanent differences resulting
from non-deductible compensation expense related to stock options in accordance with SFAS 123R,
Share Based Payment, and other non-deductible expenses such as meals and entertainment and
amortization. In addition, our effective tax rate is higher due to limitations on our ability to
utilize foreign tax credits on our foreign source income.
As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 of $8.8 million, as compared to net income of $1.5 million for the same period in
2006.
In February 2007, the Companys board of directors declared a special cash dividend of $3.25 per
share of Common Stock. The aggregate dividend of $318.3 million was paid on March 30, 2007 to
stockholders of record on March 22, 2007. Lamar had approximately 82.5 million shares of Class A
Common Stock and 15.4 million shares of Class B Common Stock, which is convertible into Class A
Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at the option of its holder, outstanding on the record date.
Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2005 (the acquired assets) have contributed to
our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2006 acquisition-adjusted net
revenue, which adjusts our 2006 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by adding to
it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets prior to our acquisition of them for the same
time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended March 31, 2007. We provide this
information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 2007 and 2006
on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to
assess how well we are performing within our existing assets.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). For this adjustment, we measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated
by the assets during the period in 2006 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the
assets in 2007 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this
adjustment as acquisition net revenue.
Reconciliations of 2006 reported net revenue to 2006 acquisition-adjusted net revenue as well as a
comparison of 2006 acquisitionadjusted net revenue to 2007 net revenue for each of the three month
periods ended March 31, are provided below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations
and borrowings under its bank credit facility. The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media
Corp., is the borrower under the bank credit facility and maintains all corporate cash balances.
Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media.
The Companys acquisitions have been financed primarily with funds borrowed under the bank credit
facility and issuance of its Class A common stock and debt securities. If an acquisition is made by
one of the Companys subsidiaries using the Companys Class A common stock, a permanent
contribution of additional paid-in-capital of Class A common stock is distributed to that
subsidiary.
Sources of Cash
Total Liquidity at March 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2007 we had approximately $385.3 million of
total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and
the ability to draw approximately $385.0 million under our revolving bank credit facility.
Cash Generated by Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 our cash provided
by operating activities was $33.4 million and $34.9 million, respectively. While our net income was
approximately $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, we generated cash from
operating activities of $33.4 million during that same period, primarily due to adjustments needed
to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities, which primarily consisted of
depreciation and amortization of $73.3 million. This was offset by an increase in working
capital of $48.7 million. We expect to generate cash flows from operations during 2007 in excess of
our cash needs for operations and capital expenditures as described herein. We expect to use the
excess cash generated principally for acquisitions and to fund repurchases under our stock
repurchase program. See Cash Flows for more information.
Credit Facilities. As of March 31, 2007, Lamar Media had approximately $385.0 million of unused
capacity under the revolving credit facility included in its bank credit facility. The bank credit
facility was refinanced on September 30, 2005 and is comprised of a $400.0 million revolving bank
credit facility and a $400.0 million term facility. The bank credit facility also includes a $500.0
million incremental facility, which permits Lamar Media to request that its lenders enter into
commitments to make additional term loans, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $500.0 million. On
January 17, 2007, Lamar Media entered into a Series D Incremental Loan Agreement and obtained
commitments from its lenders for a term loan of $7.0 million, which was funded on January 17, 2007.
On March 28, 2007, Lamar Media entered into Series E and Series F Incremental Loan Agreements and
obtained commitments from their lenders for term loans of $250 million and $325 million,
respectively, which were both funded on March 28, 2007. In addition, the $500 million incremental
facility, which had previously been reduced by the aggregate amount of the Series C and Series D
Incremental Loans and would have been reduced by the Series E and Series F Incremental Loans, was
restored to $500 million. The lenders have no obligation to make additional term loans to Lamar
Media under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.
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.
Restrictions Under Credit Facilities and Other Debt Securities. Currently Lamar Media has
outstanding approximately $385.0 million 71/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2013 issued in December 2002 and June 2003 and $400.0 million 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2015 issued in August 2005 and $216 million 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 Series B
issued in August, 2006. The indentures relating to Lamar Medias outstanding notes restrict its
ability to incur indebtedness other than:
|
|
|
up to $1.3 billion of indebtedness under its bank credit facility; |
|
|
|
|
currently outstanding indebtedness or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt; |
|
|
|
|
inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its subsidiaries or between 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 $20
million or 5% of Lamar Medias net tangible assets; and |
|
|
|
|
additional debt not to exceed $40 million. |
19
Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under its bank credit
agreement. If Lamar Media fails to comply with these tests, its obligations under the bank credit
agreement may be accelerated. At March 31, 2007 and currently, Lamar Media is in compliance with
all such tests.
Lamar Media cannot exceed the following financial ratios under its bank credit facility:
|
|
|
a total debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt to EBITDA, as defined below, for
the most recent four fiscal quarters, of 6.00 to 1. |
In addition, the bank credit facility requires that Lamar Media must maintain the following
financial ratios:
|
|
|
a fixed charges coverage ratio, defined as EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent
four fiscal quarters to the sum of (1) the total payments of principal and interest on debt
for such period, plus (2) capital expenditures made during such period, plus (3) income and
franchise tax payments made during such period, plus (4) dividends, of greater than 1.05 to
1. |
As defined under Lamar Medias bank credit facility, EBITDA is, for any period, operating income
for Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without
duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated before taxes, interest expense,
interest in respect of mirror loan indebtedness, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash
income or charges accrued for such period and (except to the extent received or paid in cash by
Lamar Media or any of its restricted 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 whereby insurance or other proceeds are
received and certain dispositions not in the ordinary course. Any restricted payment made by Lamar
Media or any of its restricted subsidiaries to the Company during any period to enable the Company
to pay certain qualified expenses on behalf of Lamar Media and its subsidiaries shall be treated as
operating expenses of Lamar Media for the purposes of calculating EBITDA for such period. EBITDA
under the bank credit agreement is also adjusted to reflect certain acquisitions or dispositions as
if such acquisitions or dispositions were made on the first day of such period if and to the extent
such operating expenses would be deducted in the calculation of EBTIDA if funded directly by Lamar
Media or any restricted subsidiary.
The Company believes that its current level of cash on hand, availability under its bank credit
agreement and future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet its operating needs through
the year 2007. All debt obligations are reflected on the Companys balance sheet.
Uses of Cash
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions were approximately $50.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 which is relatively constant as compared to the prior
period. We anticipate our 2007 total capital expenditures to be approximately $105.0 million
before digital capital expenditures.
Acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company financed its acquisition
activity of approximately $60.1 million with borrowings under Lamar Medias revolving credit
facility and cash on hand. In 2007, we expect to spend between $125 million and $150 million on
acquisitions, which we may finance through borrowings, cash on hand, the issuance of Class A common
stock, or some combination of the foregoing, depending on market conditions. We plan on continuing
to invest in both capital expenditures and acquisitions that can provide high returns in light of
existing market conditions.
Stock Repurchase Program. At January 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $100.7 million of
repurchase capacity remaining under a repurchase plan adopted in August 2006. In addition to that
plan, the Companys board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program in February 2007, of
up to $500.0 million of the Companys Class A common stock over a period not to exceed 24 months.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company purchased approximately 2,033,947 shares
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $130.1 million. The Share repurchases under the
plan may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount
of any shares repurchased is determined by Lamars management based on its evaluation of market
conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Any repurchased shares will be available for future use for general corporate and other purposes.
Special Cash Dividend. In February 2007, the Companys board of directors declared a special cash
dividend of $3.25 per share of Common Stock that was paid on March 30, 2007 to stockholders of
record on March 22, 2007. Lamar had approximately 82.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock and
15.4 million shares of Class B Common Stock, which is convertible into Class A Common Stock on a
one-for-one basis at the option of its holder, outstanding as of the record date resulting in an
aggregate dividend payment of $318.3 million.
Debt Service and Contractual Obligations. As of March 31, 2007, we had outstanding debt of
approximately $2.47 billion. Lamar Media
had principal reduction obligations and revolver commitment reductions under its bank credit
agreement prior to its replacement on September 30, 2005 that are detailed in Note 8 to the
Companys Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006.
The following table details Lamar Medias principal reduction obligations and related interest
obligations on long term debt under its bank credit agreement as of March 31, 2007, which updates
those obligations to reflect material changes in Lamar Medias outstanding long-term debt since
December 31, 2006 as detailed above under the heading Credit Facilities.

Cash Flows
The Companys cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $1.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 due to an increase in net income of $7.3 million as described in
Results of Operations an increase in adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to cash provided
by operating activities of $2.1 million primarily an increase in non-cash compensation of $6.4
million, an increase in deferred income tax expense of $9.7 million offset by an increase in gain
on dispositions of assets of $14.1 million. In addition, as compared to the same period in 2006,
there were increases in other assets of $7.9 million, decreases
in accrued expenses of $4.4 million and in other
liabilities of $3.6 million.
Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $30.6 million from $111.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 to $81.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
primarily due to a decrease in acquisitions of $6.5 million and an increase in proceeds from
disposition of assets of $18.5 million and an increase in
payments received on notes to receivables of $9.1
million.
Cash flows provided by financing activities was $36.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 primarily due to $482.0 million in net borrowings under credit agreements, offset by $130.1
million in cash used for purchase of shares of the Companys Class A common stock and $318.4
million in cash used for dividends.
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, 2007 and 2006. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months ended March 31, 2007 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2006
Net revenues increased $21.9 million or 8.6% to $275.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 from $253.3 million for the same period in 2006. This increase was attributable primarily to
an increase in billboard net revenues of $22.5 million or 9.9% over the prior period, a $.4 million
increase in logo sign revenue, which represents an increase of 3.4% over the prior period, and a
$1.0 million decrease in transit revenue over the prior period, which represents a decrease of 7.8%
The increase in billboard net revenue of $22.5 million was generated by acquisition activity of
approximately $4.6 million and internal growth of approximately $17.9 million, while the increase
in logo sign revenue of $.4 million was generated by internal growth across various markets within
the logo sign programs of approximately $1.4 million, which was offset by the loss of $1.0 million
of revenue due to the loss of the Companys Texas logo contract. The decrease in transit revenue of
approximately $1.0 million was primarily due to the loss of various transit contracts.
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to acquisition-adjusted net
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006, increased $19.0 million or 7.4% as a result of
net revenue internal growth. See Reconciliations below.
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets,
increased $16.1 million or 10.4% to $170.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007
from $154.4 million for the same period in 2006. There was a $13.0 million increase as a result of
additional operating expenses related to the operations of acquired outdoor advertising assets and
increases in costs in operating Lamar Medias core assets and a $3.1 million increase in corporate
expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively constant for the three months ended March
31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to consistent levels of capital
expenditures between the two periods presented.
Due to the above factors, operating income increased $4.1 million to $31.6 million for three
months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $27.5 million for the same period in 2006.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recognized a $15.4 million
gain as a result of the sale of a private company in which the Company had an ownership interest.
Interest expense increased $7.3 million from $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006 to $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to increased debt balances as
well as an increase in interest rates on variable rate debt.
The increase in operating income, and the gain on disposition of investment, offset by the increase in interest expense described above
resulted in a $12.7 million increase in income before income taxes. This increase in income
resulted in an increase in the income tax expense of $5.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007 over the same period in 2006. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
2007 was 44.7%, which is greater than the statutory rates due to permanent differences resulting
from non-deductible compensation expense related to stock options in accordance with SFAS 123R,
Share Based Payment, and other non-deductible expenses such as meals and entertainment and
amortization. In addition, our effective tax rate is higher due to limitations on our ability to
utilize foreign tax credits on our foreign source income.
As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized net income for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 of $8.9 million, as
compared to net income of $1.9 million for the same period in 2006.

Reconciliations:
Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, 2005 (the acquired assets) have contributed to
our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide 2006 acquisition-adjusted net
revenue, which adjusts our 2006 net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by adding to
it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets prior to our acquisition of them for the same
time frame that those assets were owned in the three months ended March 31, 2007. We provide this
information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in 2007 and 2006
on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to
assess how well we are performing within our existing assets.
Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). For this adjustment, we measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated
by the assets during the period in 2006 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the
assets in 2007 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this
adjustment as acquisition net revenue.
Reconciliations of 2006 reported net revenue to 2006 acquisition-adjusted net revenue as well as a
comparison of 2006 acquisitionadjusted net revenue to 2007 net revenue for each of the three month
periods ended March 31, are provided below:
