San Antonio, February 20, 2014 – CC Media Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CCMO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.
“With our unmatched reach and unparalleled assets, we outperformed the radio market and capitalized on the growing out-of-the-home consumer trend in 2013,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Pittman said. “Clear Channel continued to create new businesses based on the strength of our core assets and to provide customized multi-platform market solutions to advertising partners that nobody else can. At Media+Entertainment, we further expanded our events business – reaching nearly 4 billion social impressions with December’s Jingle Ball national tour, following up on September’s iHeartRadio Music Festival’s 2.3 billion social impressions. We also partnered with The CW Network to air 7 shows on broadcast TV, reaching over 50 million TV viewers. Our results at Outdoor reflected our sharp focus on rolling out new digital products in the U.S. and internationally, and on taking advantage of fast-growing emerging markets in Latin America and Asia. As America’s leading multi-platform media company as measured by reach, we look forward to continuing to serve advertisers and consumers even better in 2014.”
“We succeeded this year in delivering a steady financial performance while investing for future growth across the company, despite challenging economic conditions,” said Rich Bressler, President and Chief Financial Officer. “We hired top-caliber leaders at both Media+Entertainment and Outdoor, while executing on our revenue and efficiency initiatives that are building a strong foundation for our long-term success. Importantly, our capital markets activities over the past months – including extending our maturities and selling non-core assets, like our stake in radio assets in Australia/New Zealand – have given us the financial flexibly to continue to grow our businesses.”
