WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radio One, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROIAK - News and ROIA - News) today reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Station operating income(1) was approximately $32.7 million, a decrease of 6% from the same period in 2008.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One's CEO and President commented, "Our third quarter results contain mixed signals. The sequential improvement in radio revenue that we have been seeing since Q1 continued, but not as strongly as I would have liked. While certain of our larger categories are showing signs of recovery (food and beverage -1.6% year-to-year, retail -2.5%, healthcare -4.4%, government/public was flat), others continue to display significant weakness (automotive -37.6% year-to-year, financial -22.9%, telecoms -10.2%, entertainment -10.0%). The efforts we have made to cut costs and streamline the business have positively impacted the income statement, and I believe position us well for the future. I was pleased that our radio division outperformed their markets once again, this time by 390 basis points."

Forward-looking statements represent management's current expectations and are based upon information available to Radio One at the time of this release. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond Radio One's control, that may cause the actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are described in Radio One's reports on Form 10-K/A and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Net revenue decreased to approximately $75.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, from approximately $86.2 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 12.4%. Our radio stations generally continue to outperform competitor stations in their marketplaces, this quarter by 390 basis points, and as with the second quarter, our total net revenue improved sequentially over the 16.0% decline then reported. The prolonged weak economic environment continued to adversely impact radio, online and print advertising and also caused a reduction in sponsorships for certain key events held during the quarter.
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of long-lived assets decreased to approximately $47.5 million from approximately $58.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of 18.4%. Our cost cutting initiatives continued to pay off, specifically with compensation savings from employee layoffs, bonus eliminations and salary cuts, vacation benefit savings from scheduled office closings and reductions to discretionary expenses such as promotional expenses, contractor spending, and travel and entertainment. Events' spending was also curtailed in light of sponsorship declines. Revenue declines continued to drive further savings in commissions and national representative fees and with fewer client bankruptcies compared to last year, we incurred less bad debt expense. We also incurred lower issue related costs for Giant Magazine and less traffic acquisition costs for our internet business. This quarter included $263,000 in restructuring charges for the restructuring and consolidation of the Company's radio business offices, compared to a $490,000 restructuring charge for layoffs that occurred in third quarter 2008.
Stock-based compensation decreased to $302,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to $415,000 for the same period in 2008, or 27.4%. Stock-based compensation requires measurement of compensation costs for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The decrease in stock-based compensation was due primarily to the vesting completion, forfeiture and cancellation of certain stock option and restricted stock grants.
Impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended September 30, 2008 reflects a non-cash charge recorded for the impairment of radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of our 16 markets, namely Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond and St. Louis. As a result of the economic downturn and the deterioration it caused to the 2008 radio industry outlook, which negatively impacted revenue, profitability and terminal values, interim impairment testing was performed in August 2008, which resulted in the impairment charges recorded third quarter 2008. Given the prolonged challenging economic climate and its adverse impact on both radio and online advertising spending, we performed interim impairment testing as of August 2009, and concluded no further impairment to our radio licenses or goodwill had occurred.
Interest expense decreased to approximately $9.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, from approximately $14.1 million for the same period in 2008, a decline of 34.7%. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was due primarily to early redemptions of the Company's 8(7)/(8)% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011, and to a lesser extent, more favorable rates and pay downs of outstanding debt on the Company's senior credit facility.
As there were no early bond redemptions for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, there was no gain on retirement of debt to report for the quarter, compared to approximately $5.7 million for the same period in 2008. The third quarter 2008 gain on retirement of debt was due to the early redemption of approximately $43.1 million of the Company's 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011 during the quarter, at an average discount of 14.0%. A principal amount of $101.5 million remained outstanding as of September 30, 2009 for these senior subordinated notes.
Equity in income of affiliated company increased to approximately $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to equity in loss of affiliated company of approximately $1.1 million for the same period in 2008. The amounts are attributable to our share of net income or loss generated by TV One, LLC ("TV One") for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company's share of TV One's income is driven by TV One's current capital structure and the Company's ownership levels in the equity securities of TV One that are currently absorbing its net income.
Income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was a benefit of approximately $1.5 million, compared to a benefit of approximately $59.7 million for the same quarter in 2008, a decrease of 97.5%. The tax benefit for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 related to the impairment of indefinite lived intangibles in that quarter which reduced the deferred tax liability. There was no impairment in the quarter ended September 30, 2009, hence the benefit for the quarter was greatly reduced from 2008. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets ("DTAs"), except for DTAs associated with definite lived assets.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $87,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $639,000 for the same period in 2008. The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is primarily due to legal and professional expenses incurred as a result of ongoing legal activity from previous station sales. The income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 includes a tax benefit of $716,000, compared to a tax benefit of $92,000 included in the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the third quarter 2009.
Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $1.7 million and $2.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, Radio One had total debt (net of cash balances) of approximately $644.3 million.
In March 2008, the Company's board of directors authorized a repurchase of shares of the Company's Class A and Class D common stock through December 31, 2009 of up to $150.0 million, the maximum amount allowable under the Credit Agreement. The amount and timing of such repurchases will be based on pricing, general economic and market conditions and the restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Company's credit facilities and subordinated debt and certain other factors. While $150.0 million is the maximum amount allowable under the Credit Agreement, in 2005 under a prior board authorization, the Company utilized approximately $78.0 million to repurchase common stock leaving capacity of $72.0 million under the Credit Agreement. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares of Class D common stock for $790,981 at an average price of $0.42. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $49.2 million in capacity available under the share repurchase program taking into account the limitations of the Credit Agreement and prior repurchase activity.

Notes:
1 "Station operating income" consists of net loss or income before depreciation and amortization, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation, equity in income or loss of affiliated company, income taxes, noncontrolling interest in income of subsidiaries, interest expense, impairment of long-lived assets, other income or expense, gain on retirement of debt, and income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless we believe station operating income is often a useful measure of a broadcasting company's operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets because station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our physical plant, income taxes, investments, debt financings, gain on retirement of debt, corporate overhead, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets and income or losses from asset sales. Station operating income is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Station operating income does not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of operating income to station operating income has been provided in this release.
2 For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, Radio One had 56,242,964 and 94,537,081 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis (basic) and 56,684,369 and 94,537,081 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis (fully diluted) for outstanding stock options, respectively.
3 For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, Radio One had 61,873,161 and 97,219,115 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis, both basic and fully diluted for outstanding stock options, respectively.
4 "Adjusted EBITDA" consists of net loss or income plus (1) depreciation, amortization, income taxes, interest expense, equity in income or loss of affiliated company, noncontrolling interest in income of subsidiaries, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, other income or expense and loss or (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax, less (2) interest income and gain on retirement of debt. Net income before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as "EBITDA." Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company's operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business because Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financing, our taxes, impairment charges, as well as our equity in loss of our affiliated company, gain on retirement of debt and any discontinued operations. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our physical plant, capital structure or the results of our affiliated company. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in this release.
