Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2026, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026, and the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described herein or implied by such forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to (i) “OUTFRONT Media,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and “our company” mean OUTFRONT Media Inc., a Maryland corporation, and unless the context requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries, and (ii) the “approximately 120 markets in the U.S.,” “25 largest markets” and “Nielsen Designated Market Areas” are based, in whole or in part, on Nielsen Media Research’s 2026 Designated Market Area rankings.

Overview

OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”), enabling advertisers to engage with audiences in high-impact in-real-life (“IRL”) moments and environments. We currently manage our operations through two reportable operating segments—(1) Billboard and (2) Transit.

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. Our inventory consists of billboard displays primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. In total, we have displays in approximately 120 markets across the U.S., including the 25 largest markets. Our top market, location-focused portfolio includes sites in and around New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, where public spaces can turn into platforms for creativity, connection and cultural relevance. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives by elevating brand influence and credibility through enterprise or commercial brand-building campaigns.

In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. We believe the continued evolution of out-of-home advertising audience measurement systems, including Geopath and alternative measurement systems, can enhance the value of the out-of-home medium, including transit inventory, by improving audience measurement and enabling more precise demographic and location-based targeting. As part of our investments in our technology platform, we are developing digital out-of-home offerings and capabilities that support full-funnel advertising objectives, including end-to-end campaign processing and automation, research and measurement, and demographic and location-based targeting.

We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive and trusted form of advertising, as our displays have an IRL presence, are always viewable, and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective stand-alone medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign using multiple forms of media (including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms) that bridges commerce, culture and community. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, print production, creative services and post-campaign tracking and analytics.

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary price increases, changes in governmental fiscal and trade policies (such as tariffs), pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), industry shutdowns or slowdowns (including due to labor strikes), extraordinary weather events (such as hurricanes and wildfires), and shifts in market demographics and transportation patterns (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences due to remote work, safety concerns or otherwise), among other things. These

sensitivities may adversely impact our revenues and operating results on a consolidated basis and/or may have a disproportionate adverse impact on our Transit segment.

We rely on third parties to manufacture, transport and install our digital displays, and provide and support programmatic, direct sale and other advertising platform technologies (including artificial intelligence-assisted tools) for our digital display inventory. Historically, we have experienced delays and price increases with respect to certain of our digital displays due to external events beyond our control. If we experience delays and/or price increases in the future, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Historically, we have experienced inflationary increases with respect to some of our posting, maintenance and other expenses, some of our corporate expenses, and our interest expense. Our billboard property lease expenses and transit franchise expenses have been less impacted by inflation due to the long-term nature of most of our operating leases and transit franchise agreements. However, our transit franchise agreements that contain inflationary price adjustments may cause increases in our transit franchise expenses over the remaining terms of the agreements. Though the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of inflationary increases on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, a portion of these increases may be fully or partially offset by increases in advertising rates on our displays and cost efficiencies.

As of June 30, 2025, we completed a restructuring and reduction in force plan (the “Plan”) intended to achieve the Company’s strategic goals of increasing sales demand, enhancing customer experience, optimizing internal cost efficiencies, and realigning its organization. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $4.6 million in restructuring reserves related to severance payments, employee benefits and related costs remained outstanding and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Plan. (See Note 12. Restructuring Charges to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Business Environment

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for both customers and structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters, supermarkets and taxis.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging IRL media messaging, provide our customers with the flexibility both to connect with target audiences and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four to five times more revenue per display on average than comparable traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to four times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than comparable traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than comparable traditional static billboard displays.

We have deployed state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises we operate. Revenues generated on our network of digital transit displays are generally higher than revenues generated on a comparable portfolio of our static transit displays.

We have incurred significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures, and intend to incur significant capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio. Our annual costs with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) transit franchise will be primarily focused on maintenance of existing MTA display locations for the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below).

Further, we believe the use of programmatic and direct sale advertising platform technologies in the out-of-home advertising industry will increase, which will present a revenue growth opportunity for us. Programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms allow out-of-home advertising companies to lease displays to customers at competitive rates through an online bidding process or through a direct sale process, and we have pursued, and continue to pursue, strategic opportunities to increase our participation in these platforms.

The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described herein or implied by such forward-looking statements. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, is included in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“) on February 28, 2025.

Overview

OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”), enabling advertisers to engage with audiences in high-impact in-real-life (“IRL”) moments and environments. We currently manage our operations through two reportable operating segments—(1) Billboard and (2) Transit. Prior to its sale in 2024, our Canadian operations comprised our International operating segment, which did not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, was included in Other. Historical operating results of our Canadian operations are included in Other (see Item 8., Note 20. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements) through the date of sale.

On June 7, 2024, we sold all of our equity interests in Outdoor Systems Americas ULC and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”), which held all of the assets of the Company’s outdoor advertising business in Canada (the “Canadian Business”). (See Item 8., Note 14. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions: Canadian Business to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. Our inventory consists of billboard displays primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. In total, we have displays in approximately 120 markets across the U.S., including the 25 largest markets in the U.S. Our top market, location-focused portfolio includes sites in and around New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, where public spaces can turn into platforms for creativity, connection and cultural relevance. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives by elevating brand influence and credibility through enterprise or commercial brand-building campaigns.

In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. We believe the continued evolution of out-of-home advertising audience measurement systems, including Geopath and alternative measurement systems, can enhance the value of the out-of-home medium, including transit inventory, by improving audience measurement and enabling more precise demographic and location-based targeting.

On June 23, 2025, we announced a restructuring and reduction in force plan (the “Plan”) intended to achieve the Company’s strategic goals of increasing sales demand, enhancing customer experience, optimizing internal cost efficiencies, and realigning its organization. The Plan provided for a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 120 employees, or 6% of the Company’s total employees as of June 23, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, all reductions have been completed. In 2025, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $20.1 million associated with the Plan, consisting of severance payments, employee benefits and related costs (including approximately $2.2 million in non-cash charges for stock-based compensation), and professional fees. In 2025, restructuring charges of $8.4 million were recorded in Billboard, $3.7 million were recorded in Transit and $8.0 million were recorded in Corporate. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $6.6 million in restructuring reserves related to severance payments, employee benefits and related costs remained outstanding and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Plan. (See Item 8., Note 13. Restructuring Charges to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We have deployed state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises we operate. Revenues generated on our network of digital transit displays are generally higher than revenues generated on a comparable portfolio of our static transit displays.

37

We have incurred significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures, and intend to incur significant capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio. Our annual costs with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) transit franchise will be primarily focused on maintenance of existing MTA display locations for the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below).

Further, we believe the use of programmatic and direct sale advertising platform technologies in the out-of-home advertising industry will increase, which will present a revenue growth opportunity for us. Programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms allow out-of-home advertising companies to lease displays to customers at competitive rates through an online bidding process or through a direct sale process, and we have pursued, and continue to pursue, strategic opportunities to increase our participation in these platforms.

In 2025, we built or converted 103 new digital billboard displays in the U.S. and entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 21 third-party digital billboard displays. In 2025, we built, converted or replaced 1,170 digital transit and other displays. The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

Digital Revenues (in millions) for the Year Ended December 31, 2025Number of Digital Displays as of December 31, 2025(a)
LocationDigital BillboardDigital TransitTotal Digital RevenuesDigital Billboard DisplaysDigital Transit DisplaysTotal Digital Displays
United States$434.3$214.8$649.11,92829,49331,421

(a)Digital display amounts include 6,505 displays reserved for transit agency use. Our number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements, the net effect of new and lost billboards, and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period.

Our revenues and profits fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During 2025, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and legal services/lawyers, which represented 18%, 11%, and 10% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments, respectively. During 2024, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and health/medical, which represented 18%, 12% and 9% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments, respectively.

Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. In 2025, we generated approximately 44% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments from enterprise (formerly known as national) advertising campaigns, compared to approximately 43% in 2024.

Our transit businesses require us to periodically obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain or renew contracts.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.

Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“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.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with the impact of the Transaction (“non-organic revenues”). We provide organic revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of non-organic revenue items. Our management believes organic revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since organic revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Organic revenues, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our traditional contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit display revenues are recognized based on the level of units displayed in proportion to the total units to be displayed over the contract period. Billboard and Transit display revenues derived from impression-based sales contracts fulfilled on direct sales advertising platforms are recognized as revenue over the contract period based pro-rata on the number of impressions delivered in proportion to the total number of impressions to be delivered. Billboard display and Transit display revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are recognized as rental income as the related advertisement is displayed. Revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are based on agreements with the platforms, rather than direct contracts with individual advertisers. (See Item 8., Note 12. Revenues to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are composed of the following:

Billboard property lease expenses. These expenses reflect the cost of leasing the real property on which our billboards are mounted. These lease agreements have terms varying between one month and multiple years, and usually provide renewal options. Rental expenses are comprised of a fixed rental amount and under certain agreements, also include contingent rent, which varies based on the revenues we generate from the leased site. The fixed portion of property leases are generally paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months and expensed evenly over the contract term. Contingent rent is generally paid in arrears and is expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized.

Transit franchise expenses. These expenses reflect costs charged by municipalities and transit operators under transit advertising contracts. All of these contracts have fixed terms, are typically terminable for convenience at the option of the governmental entity (other than with respect to the MTA), and generally provide for payments to the governmental entity based on a percentage of the revenues generated under the contract and/or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. The costs that are determined based on a percentage of revenues are expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment is expensed over the contract term.

Posting, maintenance and other site-related expenses. These expenses primarily reflect costs associated with posting and rotation, materials, repairs and maintenance, utilities and property taxes.

Transit franchise243.2238.12
Posting, maintenance and other228.7228.1
Total operating expenses$918.5$949.0(3)

Billboard property lease expenses represented 24% of total revenues in 2025 and 26% in 2024. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of total revenues in 2025 compared to 2024 is primarily due to lower variable billboard property lease costs driven by higher relative revenue performance in advertising markets that have lower variable billboard property lease costs and lower revenue performance in advertising markets that have higher variable billboard property lease costs (see Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the impact of lost billboards.

Billboard property lease expenses decreased $36.2 million, or 7%, primarily due to lost billboards, the impact of the Transaction and lower variable billboard property lease expenses.

Transit franchise expenses represented 13% of total revenues in each of 2025 and 2024. Transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of total revenues in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily impacted by the Transaction in 2024, partially offset by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation and lower Billboard revenues.

40

Transit franchise expenses increased $5.1 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction.

Posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, were 12% in each of 2025 and 2024. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $0.6 million in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher maintenance and utility costs, and higher production expenses, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses represented 24% of Revenues in each of 2025 and 2024. SG&A expenses decreased $6.2 million, or 1%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the impact of the Transaction, lower credit card usage by customers, lower rent related to new offices in the first half of 2024 and lower compensation-related expenses, including severance and salaries, partially offset by higher professional fees, as a result of a management consulting project, and higher travel and entertainment expenses. We expect to realize the cost savings benefits from the Plan within SG&A expenses. However, those cost savings may potentially be offset by increases in SG&A expenses in future periods as we continue to invest in our strategic initiatives, including technology enhancements and customer experience improvements.

Restructuring Charges

We recorded restructuring charges of $20.1 million in 2025, consisting of severance payments, employee benefits and related costs, and professional fees associated with the Plan. The restructuring charges include approximately $2.2 million in non-cash charges for stock-based compensation.

Net Gain on Dispositions

Net gain on dispositions decreased $158.6 million in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to the Transaction.

Impairment Charges

As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during 2024 and recorded impairment charges of $17.9 million during 2024, representing additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the first six months of 2024 (see Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements). No impairment charges were recorded during 2025.

Depreciation

Depreciation increased $11.1 million, or 14%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher depreciation related to the change in estimated useful life of certain advertising displays.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $2.4 million, or 3%, in 2025 compared to 2024.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net, was $146.4 million (including $5.8 million of deferred financing costs) in 2025 and $156.2 million (including $6.1 million of deferred financing costs) in 2024. The decrease in Interest expense, net, in 2025 compared to 2024, was primarily due to lower average debt balance and lower interest rates.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2025, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million, relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs and a portion of the discount on our previously existing term loan. In 2024, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs and a portion of the discount on our previously existing term loan, due to prepayments on our previously existing term loan.

41

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes decreased $9.0 million, or 82%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the impact of the Transaction. The effective income tax rate was 1.4% for 2025 and 4.1% for 2024.

Net Income

Net income before allocation to redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests decreased $111.7 million, or 43%, in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily driven by a gain on disposition related to the Transaction in 2024, lower billboard revenues, and restructuring charges in 2025, partially offset by impairment charges incurred in 2024, higher transit revenues and lower interest expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted OIBDA

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and impairment charges. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

FFO and AFFO

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes restructuring charges and losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on non-real estate assets, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., and revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating

performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

The following table reconciles Operating income to Adjusted OIBDA, and Net income attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. to FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. and AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of the cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.

FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in 2025 of $333.5 million increased $29.9 million, or 10%, compared to 2024, primarily due to higher Adjusted OIBDA and lower interest expense, partially offset by restructuring charges in 2025 and impairment charges in 2024. AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in 2025 of $337.7 million increased $31.7 million, or 10%, compared to 2024, primarily due to higher Adjusted OIBDA and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher maintenance capital expenditures.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 20. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We currently manage our operations through two reportable operating segments—(1) Billboard and (2) Transit. Prior to its sale in 2024, our Canadian operations comprised our International operating segment, which did not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, was included in Other. Historical operating results of our Canadian operations are included in Other (see Item 8., Note 20. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements) through the date of sale. Also included in Other are operating results for third-party digital equipment sales.

*    Calculation is not meaningful.

Billboard segment revenues decreased $17.9 million, or 1%, in 2025 compared to 2024, reflecting the impact of lost billboards in the period, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per display (yield), including the impact of programmatic platforms on digital billboard revenues and higher proceeds from condemnations. We expect lost billboards to continue to adversely impact Billboard segment revenue performance in the first half of 2026, particularly in the Los Angeles metropolitan areas. We generated approximately 39% in 2025 and 40% in 2024 of our Billboard segment revenues from enterprise (formerly known as national) advertising campaigns.

Billboard segment property lease expenses represented 32% of Billboard segment revenues in 2025 and 34% in 2024. Billboard segment property lease expenses decreased $25.7 million, or 5%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by the impact of lost billboards and lower variable billboard property lease costs. Billboard segment posting maintenance and other expenses increased $0.9 million, or 1%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by higher maintenance and utilities, and higher site-related costs, partially offset by higher compensation-related expenses.

SG&A expenses in the Billboard segment decreased $1.5 million, or 1%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by lower credit card usage by customers and lower compensation-related expenses, partially offset by higher professional fees and higher travel and entertainment expenses.

Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $8.4 million, or 2%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to larger decrease in Billboard segment operating expenses compared to a smaller decrease in Billboard segment revenues. Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA margin was 38.0% in 2025 and 36.9% in 2024.

Transit segment revenues increased $47.4 million, or 12%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts. We generated approximately 57% in 2025 and 56% in 2024 of our Transit segment revenues from enterprise (formerly known as national) advertising campaigns.

Transit segment franchise expenses represented 56% of Transit segment revenues in 2025 and 62% in 2024. Transit segment franchise expenses increased $6.9 million, or 3%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation. Transit segment posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $4.0 million, or 6%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by higher maintenance and utility costs, higher production costs and higher site-related costs.

SG&A expenses in the Transit segment increased $1.7 million, or 2%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by higher travel and entertainment expenses and higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers.

We recorded impairment charges of $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily related to impairment charges with respect to our MTA asset group and our historical Transit reporting unit (see Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $34.8 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase in Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA was primarily due to a larger increase in Transit segment revenues compared to a smaller increase in Transit segment operating expenses.

*Calculation is not meaningful.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire or divest businesses, assets or digital technology, directly or in connection with joint ventures (including buy/sell arrangements with joint venture partners) or in connection with other strategic transactions. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions and transaction-related expenses will be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment deployment costs. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

Although we have taken several actions to date to enhance our financial flexibility and increase our liquidity, our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability may be adversely affected if cash on hand and operating cash flows decrease in 2026, and our ability to issue debt and equity securities and/or borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. (See the “Overview” section of this MD&A.)

49

Working capital was a deficit of $41.6 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to a deficit of $135.0 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily driven by a higher cash balance, decreased borrowings under the AR Facility, due to the impact of the Refinancing (as defined below), and lower accounts payable, partially offset by higher short-term operating lease liabilities and restructuring reserves.

Under our current agreement with the MTA (as amended, the “MTA Agreement”):

•Deployments. We must deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, which amounts are subject to the MTA’s ability to fulfill its pre-installation obligations under the MTA Agreement. We are also obligated to deploy certain additional digital advertising screens and MTA communications displays in subway and train stations and rolling stock that the MTA may build or acquire in the future (collectively, the “New Inventory”).

•Recoupment of Equipment Deployment Costs. We may retain incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount for the cost of deploying advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system. Recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including impairment charges (see Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements). If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which were deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, were paid directly by the MTA. All other deployment costs are subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in 2025. In addition, we currently do not expect to recoup any equipment deployment costs in 2026. However, we do expect to recoup some equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement. We expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $35.0 million in 2026 and approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement. These equipment deployment costs primarily encompass maintenance costs (including equipment replacement costs) for existing MTA display locations.

•Payments. We must pay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. The MTA Agreement also provides that if prior to April 1, 2028 the balance of unrecovered costs of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system is equal to or less than zero, then in any year following the year in which such recoupment occurs (the “Recoupment Year”), the MTA is entitled to receive an additional payment equal to 2.5% of the annual base revenue amount for such year calculated in accordance with the MTA Agreement, provided that gross revenues in such year (i) were at least equal to the gross revenues generated in the Recoupment Year, and (ii) did not decline by more than 5% from the prior year.

•Term. In July 2021, we extended the initial 10-year term of the MTA Agreement to a 13-year base term (the “Amended Term”). We have the option to extend the Amended Term for an additional five-year period at the end of the Amended Term, subject to satisfying certain quantitative and qualitative conditions.

We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund costs under the MTA Agreement over the next couple of years. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of December 31, 2025, we have issued surety bonds in favor of the MTA totaling approximately $72.3 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. We incurred $20.1 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in 2025 for a total of $629.0 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date. As of December 31, 2025, we had Intangible assets related to franchise agreements balance related to the MTA Agreement of $27.4 million. As of December 31, 2025, 27,354 digital displays had been installed, composed of 5,023 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, 15,904 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock and 6,427 MTA communications displays. In the fourth quarter of 2025, 13 installations

50

occurred, for a total of 1,109 installations occurring in 2025. We substantially completed our initial deployment in 2024, with the remaining deployment required under the MTA Agreement subject to satisfaction of various conditions and work to be performed by the MTA. We are currently only performing maintenance operations, and replacing damaged and broken displays.

As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during 2024 and recorded impairment charges of $17.9 million during 2024, representing additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024. No impairment charges were recorded during 2025. (See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 4. Long-lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) We currently expect positive aggregate cash flows on an undiscounted basis through to the end of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement.

If our MTA performance continues to be in line with, or better than, our current model, we would not expect to incur additional impairment charges on our MTA equipment deployment cost spending and/or would expect to recoup a portion of deployment cost spending. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future and/or the failure to recoup any deployment cost spending.

On February 25, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share on our common stock, payable on March 31, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 6, 2026.

On September 24, 2025, the Company, along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (together, the “Borrowers”), and other guarantor subsidiaries party thereto (together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), entered into a credit agreement, dated as of September 24, 2025 (the “Credit Agreement”) to refinance the Company’s previously existing senior secured credit facilities (the “Refinancing”). The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, (i) a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of September 24, 2030, and (ii) a $500.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan,” together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”) with a maturity date of September 24, 2032. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% for SOFR borrowings (or 1.00% less for Base Rate borrowings) of the Revolving Credit Facility and from 1.75% to 2.00% for SOFR borrowings (or 1.00% less for Base Rate borrowings) of the Term Loan, subject to adjustments based on the Company’s Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Company’s credit ratings, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan are senior secured obligations of the Borrowers, are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Guarantors, and are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors.

In 2025, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs and a portion of the discount on our previously existing term loan. In 2024, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs and a portion of the discount on our previously existing term loan.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the Term Loan was 5.7% per annum as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, a discount of $0.7 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1.9 million in 2025 and $2.0 million in 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $5.1 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2025, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $67.2 million under our aggregate $81.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities in 2025 and 2024 were immaterial.

As of December 31, 2025, we have a $150.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which terminates in June 2027, unless further extended.

In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) (the “Originators”), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the “QRS SPV”) or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s TRS accounts receivable assets (the “TRS SPV” and together with

52

the QRS SPV, the “SPVs”). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs’ assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs’ assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.

As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility. As of December 31, 2025, borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility was $150.0 million based on approximately $412.6 million of accounts receivable that could be used as collateral for the AR Facility in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was $0.3 million in 2025 and $0.3 million in 2024.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Facility, and the indentures governing our senior notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Outfront Media Capital LLC’s, capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status and/or avoid incurring taxes, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness or grant additional liens. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2025, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.7 to 1.0, in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Facility) require that we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.5 to 1.0 (subject to potential acquisition-related adjustments). As of December 31, 2025, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.5 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2025, we had deferred $20.4 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility, the AR Facility and our senior notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior notes.

Equity

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. In 2025, no shares of our common stock were sold under the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

53

Reverse Stock Split

On January 17, 2025, we effectuated a 1-for-1.024549 reverse stock split on our common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All shares of the Company’s common stock and per-share data included in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been retroactively adjusted as though the Reverse Stock Split has been effected prior to all periods presented.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows in 2025 and 2024.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20252024Change
Net cash flow provided by operating activities$307.6$299.23%
Net cash flow provided by (used for) investing activities(113.7)207.5*
Net cash flow used for financing activities(140.9)(495.4)(72)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents(0.4)*
Net increase to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$53.0$10.9*

*Calculation is not meaningful.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $8.4 million, or 3%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to a higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by the timing of receivables.

Cash used by investing activities was $113.7 million in 2025 compared to Cash provided by investing activities of $207.5 million in 2024, primarily due to MTA franchise rights in 2025 and cash received from the Transaction in 2024.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in 2025 and 2024.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20252024Change
Growth$58.2$56.43%
Maintenance30.621.741
Total capital expenditures$88.8$78.114

Capital expenditures increased $10.7 million, or 14%, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to increased growth in digital displays, increased maintenance spending for billboard display upgrades and the renovation of certain office facilities, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction.

For the full year of 2026, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $90.0 million, which will be used primarily for new and replacement digital displays, safety-related projects, software and technology, the renovation of certain office facilities and maintenance. This estimate does not include equipment deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA Agreement (as described above).

Cash used for financing activities decreased by $354.5 million, or 72%, in 2025 compared to 2024. In 2025, we paid total cash dividends of $210.3 million on our common stock, the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and vested restricted share units granted to employees, made net borrowings of $99.4 million under the Term Loan in connection with the Refinancing, and made net repayments on the AR Facility of $10.0 million. In 2024, we prepaid $200.0 million on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan, made net repayments on the AR Facility of $55.0 million and paid total cash dividends of $208.4 million on our common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees, and paid $23.9 million related to the exercise of a buy/sell arrangement by one of our joint venture partners resulting in our purchase of the outstanding noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary.

Cash paid for income taxes was $2.2 million in 2025 and $11.5 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to income tax payments related to the Transaction in 2024.

54

Contractual Obligations

We have agreements with municipalities and transit operators which entitle us to operate advertising displays within their transit systems, including on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, transit shelters, street kiosks, and transit platforms. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchisor is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenues, net of agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment. Guaranteed minimum annual payments are generally paid monthly. (See Item 8., Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Total future minimum payments for rental payments under operating leases for billboard sites, office space and equipment of $2,247.2 million include $2,116.9 million for our billboard sites. (See Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of December 31, 2025, we had long-term debt of approximately $2.6 billion. Interest on the Term Loan is variable. For illustrative purposes, we are assuming an interest rate of 5.7% for all years, which reflects the interest rate as of December 31, 2025. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in the interest rate will change the annual interest expense by $1.3 million. (See Item 8., Note 8. Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of guaranteed minimum annual payments and letters of credit. (See Item 8., Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical as they are significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

MTA Agreement

Under the current MTA Agreement, which is subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, which amounts are subject to the MTA’s ability to fulfill its pre-installation obligations under the MTA Agreement. In addition, we are entitled to generate revenue through the sale of advertising on transit advertising displays and incur transit franchise expenses, which are calculated based on contractually stipulated percentages of revenue generated under the contract, subject to a minimum guarantee.

Title to the various digital displays transfers to the MTA on installation, therefore the cost of deploying these screens throughout the transit system does not represent our property and equipment. The portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to operating expenses as advertising revenue is generated. The short-term portion of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs represents the costs that we expect to recover from the MTA in the next twelve months. The portion of deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from advertising revenues that would otherwise be retained by us under the contract are recorded as Intangible assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the contract period. We assess the recoverability of the MTA contract on an as-needed basis and apply significant judgment in assessing factors to determine if there is an indication that the revenues expected to be generated over the term of

55

the agreement will be sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, product demand, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the deployment schedule. Additionally, we assess these factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results.

If we do not generate sufficient advertising revenues from the MTA contract, there is a risk that the related Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets may not be recoverable. Management assesses the prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. This assessment requires evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to determine if there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgment in assessing these factors, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, product demand, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the initial deployment schedule.

Additionally, management assesses quantitative factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results. In 2023, it was determined that our MTA transit revenue recovery had stalled since our MTA transit revenue did not meet our revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our revenue pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflected a continued decline in MTA transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across the MTA transit system. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2023, we updated our revenue projections, resulting in the expectation that we did not expect to recoup any Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As a result, in the second quarter of 2023, we reclassified $385.0 million of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs to Intangible Assets. We then reviewed our MTA long-lived asset group to determine if there was a triggering event for impairment, noting that we were then projecting negative aggregate undiscounted cash flows through the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. Consequently, in the second quarter of 2023, we recorded an impairment charge of $443.1 million, representing all of our MTA long-lived asset group.

Since that time, all future deployment costs spending has been recorded as Intangible assets rather than as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs.

We assess these equipment deployment costs for impairment each period based on the assumptions and estimates described in this section and/or other factors that may arise. As a result of our expectation of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flows related to the MTA in 2023, we recorded additional impairment charges of $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, for a total impairment charge related to the MTA asset group of $466.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during 2024 and recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, for a total of $17.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. Our analysis performed as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, resulted in positive aggregate cash flows in excess of the carrying value of our MTA asset group. As such, no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and three months ended December 31, 2024. The total impairment charge recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $17.9 million.

MTA revenue performance in 2025 has exceeded our prior expectations. As a result of the revenue performance and costs remaining in line with our prior expectations, we did not identify triggering events in 2025 related to the impairment of the MTA asset group and no quantitative tests were performed and no impairment charges were recorded.

We updated our MTA projections at year end due to the strong performance during 2025. As a result of the increase in revenue driven by 2025 performance, we currently expect to recoup a portion of spending from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA within the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As such, beginning in 2026, the portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA will be recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Our current assumption related to annual revenue growth is between 5% and 10% throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement.

We currently estimate we will spend between $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually on equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement.

56

There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future and/or the failure to recoup any deployment cost spending.

Goodwill

We test goodwill qualitatively and/or quantitatively at the reporting-unit level annually for impairment as of October 31 of each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. A qualitative test assesses macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity specific events, as well as events affecting a reporting unit. If after the qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative assessment. We may also choose to only perform a quantitative assessment. We compute the estimated fair value of each reporting unit for which we perform a quantitative assessment by using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our discounted cash flow value is calculated by adding the present value of the estimated annual cash flows over a discrete projection period to the terminal value, which represents the value of the projected cash flows beyond the discrete projection period. Our discounted cash flow model requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, contract renewals and extensions, and discount rates. The estimated growth rates, operating margins and capital expenditures for the projection period are based on our internal forecasts of future performance as well as historical trends. The terminal value is estimated based on a perpetual nominal growth rate, which is based on projected long-range inflation and long-term industry projections. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics.

During the first half of 2023, it was determined that our transit revenue recovery had stalled since our historical Transit reporting unit did not meet revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflected a continued decline in transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across our transit business, including the MTA transit system. As a result, we determined that there was a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment analysis of our historical Transit reporting unit. As a result of the impairment analysis performed during the second quarter of 2023, we determined that the carrying value of our historical Transit reporting unit exceeded its fair value and we recorded an impairment charge of $47.6 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, representing the entire goodwill balance associated with the reporting unit.

As a result of impairment charges recorded in 2023 and the sale of the Canadian Business in the Transaction, the only reporting unit with a goodwill balance is our Billboard reporting unit. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we performed a qualitative assessment on our Billboard reporting unit as the estimated fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded carrying value and there were no factors indicating that it was more likely than not that the reporting unit was impaired. As of December 31, 2025, the goodwill balances associated with the Billboard reporting unit was $2.0 billion on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Actual results may differ from our assumptions. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our reporting units, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Long-Lived Assets

We report long-lived assets, including billboard advertising structures, other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We depreciate or amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. For billboard advertising structures, we estimate the useful lives based on the estimated economic life of the asset. Transit fixed assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related contractual term. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of acquired permits and leasehold agreements and franchise agreements, which grant us the right to operate out-of-home advertising structures in specified locations and the right to provide advertising displays on railroad and municipal transit properties. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is the respective life of the agreement and in some cases includes an estimation for renewals, which is based on historical experience. The significant assumptions we use to determine the useful lives and fair values of long-lived assets include contractual commitments, regulatory requirements, future expected cash flows and industry growth rates, as well as future salvage values.

57

We test for long-lived asset impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the respective asset’s carrying value, excluding any impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement Financial Position in conformity with GAAP. The amount of impairment loss, if any, will be measured by the difference between the net carrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset and recognized as a non-cash charge. Long-lived assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying value (including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses) or fair value less cost to sell.

We compute the estimated fair value of each asset group for which we perform a quantitative assessment using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our cash flow models requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, and discount rates. The projected revenue growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures are based on our internal forecasts of future performance, as well as historical trends. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our asset groups, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during 2024 and recorded impairment charges of $17.9 million during 2024, representing additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024. No impairment charges were recorded during 2025. (See the “Critical Accounting Policies: MTA Agreement” section of this MD&A.) We currently expect positive aggregate cash flows on an undiscounted basis through to the end of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. If our MTA performance continues to be in line with, or better than, our current model, we would not expect to incur additional impairment charges on our MTA equipment deployment cost spending. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described herein or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Overview

OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) . We currently manage our operations through two reportable operating segments—(1) Billboard and (2) Transit. Prior to its sale, our Canadian operations comprised our International operating segment, which did not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, was included in Other. Historical operating results of our Canadian operations are included in Other (see Item 8., Note 19. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements) through the date of sale.

On June 7, 2024, we sold all of our equity interests in Outdoor Systems Americas ULC and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”), which hold all of the assets of the Company’s outdoor advertising business in Canada (the “Canadian Business”). In connection with the Transaction, the Company received C$410.0 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments (see Item 8. Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions: Canadian Business to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 120 markets in the U.S. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives, from national, brand-building campaigns to hyper-local campaigns that drive customers to the advertiser’s website or retail location “one mile down the road.”

In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. Geopath, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, enables us to build campaigns based on the size and demographic composition of audiences. As part of our technology platform, we are developing solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go.

We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are always viewable and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective “stand-alone” medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign to reach audiences using multiple forms of media, including television, radio, print, online, mobile and social media advertising platforms. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, print production, creative services and post-campaign tracking and analytics.

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary price increases, changes in governmental fiscal and trade policies (such as tariffs), pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic, industry shutdowns or slowdowns (including due to labor strikes), extraordinary weather events (such as hurricanes and wildfires), and shifts in market demographics and transportation patterns (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences due to remote work, safety concerns or otherwise), among other things. These

36

sensitivities may adversely impact our revenues and operating results on a consolidated basis and/or may have a disproportionate adverse impact on our Transit segment.

We rely on third parties to manufacture, transport and install our digital displays, and provide programmatic and direct sale advertising platform technologies for our digital display inventory. Historically, we have experienced delays and price increases with respect to certain of our digital displays due to external events beyond our control. If we experience delays and/or price increases in the future, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—Operating our digital display platform may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits may not be fully realized.”

Historically, we have experienced inflationary increases with respect to some of our posting, maintenance and other expenses, some of our corporate expenses, and our interest expense. Our billboard property lease expenses and transit franchise expenses have been less impacted by inflation due to the long-term nature of most of our operating leases and transit franchise agreements. However, our transit franchise agreements that contain inflationary price adjustments may cause increases in our transit franchise expenses in the over the remaining terms of the agreements. Though the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of inflationary increases on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, a portion of these increases may be fully or partially offset by increases in advertising rates on our displays and cost efficiencies.

Business Environment

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for both customers and structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters, supermarkets and taxis.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging messages, provide our customers with the flexibility both to target audiences and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print production and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four to five times more revenue per display on average than comparable traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to four times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than comparable traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than comparable traditional static billboard displays.

We have deployed state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises we operate and we expect to continue these deployments over the coming years, but at a slower pace than our historical deployments. Revenues generated on our network of digital transit displays are generally higher than revenues generated on a comparable portfolio of our static transit displays.

We have incurred, and we intend to incur, significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures, in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio. However, we expect our annual equipment deployment cost spending with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) transit franchise will decline now that we have substantially completed our initial deployment during 2024.

In 2024, we built or converted 89 new digital billboard displays in the U.S. and entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 21 third-party digital billboard displays in the U.S. In 2024, we built, converted or replaced 6,664 digital transit and other displays in the U.S. The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

Total$448.4$165.9$614.31,93528,38830,323

(a)Digital display amounts include 6,089 displays reserved for transit agency use. Our number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements, the net effect of new and lost billboards, and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period.

(b)On June 7, 2024, we completed the sale of the Canadian Business in the Transaction. (See Item 8., Note 13. Acquisition and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Our revenues and profits fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During 2024, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and health/medical, which represented 18%, 12%, and 9% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments, respectively. During 2023, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and health/medical, which represented 20%, 11% and 9% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments, respectively.

Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. In 2024, we generated approximately 42% of our total revenues from our Billboard and Transit segments from national advertising campaigns, compared to approximately 43% in 2023.

Our transit businesses require us to periodically obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain or renew contracts.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.

Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“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.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with the impact of the Transaction (“non-organic revenues”). We provide organic revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of non-organic revenue items. Our management believes organic revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since organic revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Organic revenues, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our traditional contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit display revenues are recognized based on the level of units displayed in proportion to the total units to be displayed over the contract period. Billboard display and Transit display revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are recognized as rental income as the related advertisement is displayed. Billboard and Transit display revenues derived from impression-based sales contracts fulfilled on direct sales advertising platforms are recognized as revenue over the contract period based pro-rata on the number of impressions delivered in proportion to the total number of impressions to be delivered. Revenues generated from programmatic advertising platforms are based on agreements with the platforms, rather than direct contracts with individual advertisers. (See Item 8., Note 12. Revenues to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are composed of the following:

Billboard property lease expenses. These expenses reflect the cost of leasing the real property on which our billboards are mounted. These lease agreements have terms varying between one month and multiple years, and usually provide renewal options. Rental expenses are comprised of a fixed rental amount and under certain agreements, also include contingent rent, which varies based on the revenues we generate from the leased site. The fixed portion of property leases are generally paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months and expensed evenly over the contract term. Contingent rent is generally paid in arrears and is expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized.

Transit franchise expenses. These expenses reflect costs charged by municipalities and transit operators under transit advertising contracts. All of these contracts have fixed terms, are typically terminable for convenience at the option of the governmental entity (other than with respect to the MTA), and generally provide for payments to the governmental entity based on a percentage of the revenues generated under the contract and/or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. The costs that are determined based on a percentage of revenues are expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment is expensed over the contract term.

40

Posting, maintenance and other site-related expenses. These expenses primarily reflect costs associated with posting and rotation, materials, repairs and maintenance, utilities and property taxes.

Billboard property lease expenses represented 34% of total billboard revenues in 2024, 35% in 2023 and 33% in 2022. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of total billboard revenues in 2024 compared to 2023 is primarily due to lower variable billboard property lease costs driven by higher relative revenue performance in advertising markets that have lower variable billboard property lease costs and lower revenue performance in advertising markets that have higher variable billboard property lease costs (see Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the impact of new and lost locations, including through acquisitions. The increase in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of total billboard revenues in 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to an increase in variable billboard property lease expenses (see Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements), which are primarily attributable to total billboard revenue increases in large markets and high profile locations, and the impact of new locations, including through acquisitions.

Transit franchise expenses represented 61% of total transit display revenues in 2024, 65% in 2023 and 62% in 2022. The decrease in transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of total transit display revenues in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily driven by MTA revenues growing at a faster rate than the inflationary adjustment to the guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA under the MTA Agreement (as defined below), partially offset by the net impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts. The increase in transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of total transit display revenues in 2023 compared to 2022, was primarily driven by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA.

Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses decreased by $19.1 million in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to lower variable property lease expenses, the impact of the Transaction and the net impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts, partially offset by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA and the impact of new and lost locations, including through acquisitions. Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses increased by $44.8 million in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, the impact of new locations, including through acquisitions, and higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA.

Posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were 12% in each of 2024, 2023 and 2022. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $5.0 million, or 2%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, higher maintenance and utilities costs due to inflationary cost increases, and higher posting and rotation costs caused by higher business activity, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction and lower materials costs driven by lower third-party equipment sales. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $1.7 million, or 1%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses and higher maintenance and utilities cost, driven by inflationary cost increases in 2023, partially offset by lower posting and rotation costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses represented 24% of Revenues in each of 2024, 2023 and 2022. SG&A expenses increased $18.2 million, or 4%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including salaries, commissions and severance, higher professional fees, as a result of a management consulting project and higher rent related to new offices, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction. SG&A expenses increased $7.6 million, or 2%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees, higher professional fees, rent related to new offices, higher insurance costs and a higher provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by lower compensation-related expenses. We continue to evaluate methods to lower SG&A expense growth.

41

Net (Gain) Loss on Dispositions

Net gain on dispositions increased by $146.7 million in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the impact of the Transaction. Net gain on dispositions was $14.2 million in 2023 compared to a Net loss on dispositions of $0.2 million in 2022. The Net gain on dispositions in 2023 was primarily related to the sale of three parcels of land and the related structures in Los Angeles, California, (see Item 8., Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions: Los Angeles Office and Operations Center to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and in St. Louis, Missouri.

Impairment Charges

We recorded impairment charges of $17.9 million in 2024 and $534.7 million in 2023.

As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in those periods for a total of $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment charges recorded during 2024 represented additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our analysis performed as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, resulted in positive aggregate cash flows in excess of the carrying value of our MTA asset group. As such, no impairment charges were recorded during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. In 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $534.7 million, primarily representing $466.2 million of impairment charges related to our MTA asset group (see Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and an impairment charge of $47.6 million representing the entire goodwill balance associated with our historical Transit reporting unit.

Depreciation

Depreciation increased $0.2 million in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher depreciation related to the change in estimated useful life of certain advertising displays, partially offset by the impact of the Transaction (see Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions: Canadian Business). Depreciation increased $1.9 million, or 2%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to capital expenditures and acquisitions in 2022, partially offset by an increase in fully-depreciated assets.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $9.2 million, or 11%, in 2024 compared to 2023, due primarily to the impact of the Transaction (see Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions: Canadian Business) and lower amortization related to franchise agreements associated with the MTA, partially offset by higher amortization of leasehold interest intangibles recorded related to asset acquisitions. Amortization increased $7.9 million, or 11%, in 2023 compared to 2022, due primarily to higher amortization of leasehold interest intangibles recorded related to asset acquisitions, partially offset by lower amortization related to franchise agreements associated with the MTA.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net, was $156.2 million (including $6.1 million of deferred financing costs) in 2024, $158.4 million (including $6.7 million of deferred financing costs) in 2023 and $131.8 million (including $6.5 million of deferred financing costs) in 2022. The decrease in Interest expense, net, in 2024 compared to 2023, was primarily due to a lower average debt balance, partially offset by higher interest rates. The increase in Interest expense, net, in 2023 compared to 2022, was primarily due to higher interest rates and a higher average debt balance.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2024, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs and a portion of the discount on the Term Loan (as defined below), due to prepayments on the Term Loan. In 2023, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.1 million relating to the redemption of all of our outstanding 6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $7.0 million, or 175%, in 2024 compared to 2023, due primarily to a gain on disposition related the Transaction. Provision for income taxes decreased $5.4 million, or 57%, in 2023 compared to 2022, due primarily to

42

a valuation allowance against our U.S. taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) accumulated deferred tax assets in 2022. The effective income tax rate was 4.1% for 2024, 0.9% for 2023 and 6.0% for 2022.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income before allocation to redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests was $258.7 million in 2024 compared to a Net loss before allocation to redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests of $424.5 million in 2023, driven by higher operating income, due primarily to higher impairment charges incurred in 2023 and a gain on disposition related to the Transaction, and a lower loss on extinguishment of debt, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes. Net loss before allocation to redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests was $424.5 million in 2023 compared to Net income before allocation to redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests of $143.9 million in 2022, driven by lower operating income, due primarily to impairment charges and higher interest expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted OIBDA

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation and impairment charges. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

FFO and AFFO

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on non-real estate assets, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to

43

OUTFRONT Media Inc., and revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

The following table reconciles Operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA, and Net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. to FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. and AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 19. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We currently manage our operations through two reportable operating segments—(1) Billboard and (2) Transit. Prior to its sale, our Canadian operations comprised our International operating segment, which did not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, was included in Other. Historical operating results of our Canadian operations are included in Other (see Item 8., Note 19. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements) through the date of sale (see Item 8., Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions: Canadian Business to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Also included in Other are operating results for third-party digital equipment sales.

Billboard segment revenues increased $39.6 million, or 3%, in 2024 compared to 2023, reflecting an increase in average revenue per display (yield), driven by the impact of programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms on digital billboard revenues, partially offset by the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including insignificant acquisitions, and lower proceeds from condemnations. We generated approximately 39% in 2024 and 40% in 2023 of our Billboard segment revenues from national advertising campaigns.

Billboard segment property lease expenses represented 34% of Billboard segment revenues in 2024 and 35% in 2023. Billboard segment property lease expenses decreased $5.0 million, or 1%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by lower variable lease costs. Billboard segment posting maintenance and other expenses increased $13.5 million, or 10%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by higher compensation-related expenses, higher maintenance and utilities cost, and higher office expenses, driven by inflationary cost increases.

SG&A expenses in the Billboard segment increased $11.2 million, or 4%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by higher compensation-related expenses and higher rent related to new offices, partially offset by lower professional fees.

Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $19.9 million, or 4%, in 2024 compared to 2023. Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA margin was 36.9% in 2024 and 36.5% in 2023.

(a)Organic revenues associated with a significant acquisition (“non-organic revenues”).

Billboard segment revenues increased $60.9 million, or 5%, in 2023 compared to 2022, reflecting an increase in average revenue per display (yield), driven by the impact of programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms on digital billboard revenues, the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including acquisitions, and higher proceeds from condemnations. We generated approximately 40% in each of 2023 and 2022 of our Billboard segment revenues from national advertising campaigns.

In 2023 and 2022, non-organic revenues reflect the impact of a significant acquisition.

Billboard segment property lease expenses represented 35% of Billboard segment revenues in 2023 and 33% in 2022. Billboard segment property lease expenses increased $41.2 million, or 9%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher variable billboard property lease expenses. Billboard segment posting maintenance and other expenses increased $2.4 million, or 2%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher compensation-related expenses and higher maintenance and utilities cost, driven by inflationary cost increases in 2023, partially offset by lower posting and rotation costs.

SG&A expenses in the Billboard segment increased $8.9 million, or 4%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher insurance costs, higher compensation-related expenses, higher rent related to new offices, higher professional fees and a higher provision for doubtful accounts.

Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $8.4 million, or 2%, in 2023 compared to 2022. Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA margin was 36.5% in 2023 and 37.6% in 2022. The decrease in Billboard segment Adjusted OIBDA margins in 2023 compared to 2022 was due primarily to a higher increase in Billboard segment operating expenses, due to an increase in Billboard segment property lease expenses, and an increase in Billboard segment SG&A expenses, compared to a lower increase in Billboard segment revenues.

Transit segment revenues increased $31.2 million, or 9%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts in the period. We generated approximately 55% in each of 2024 and 2023 of our Transit segment revenues from national advertising campaigns.

Transit segment franchise expenses represented 62% of Transit segment revenues in 2024 and 67% in 2023. Transit segment franchise expenses increased $0.7 million in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA, partially offset by the net impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts. Transit segment posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $5.8 million, or 9%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by higher posting and rotation costs, driven by higher business activity, and higher compensation-related expenses.

SG&A expenses in the Transit segment increased $0.4 million, or 1%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by lower professional fees.

In 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $17.9 million in the Transit segment, primarily related to impairment charges with respect to our MTA asset group and our historical Transit reporting unit. In 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $534.7 million primarily related to impairment charges with respect to our MTA asset group and our historical Transit reporting unit (see Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA was $8.3 million in 2024 compared an Adjusted OIBDA loss of $16.0 million in 2023. The increase in Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA was due primarily to a higher increase in Transit segment revenues compared to lower increases in Transit segment SG&A expenses and guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA.

Transit segment revenues decreased $12.5 million, or 3%, in 2023 compared to 2022, driven by a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), driven by weaker market conditions in national advertising, which primarily impacted advertising sales on certain above-ground advertising displays, partially offset by the impact of a new transit franchise contract. We generated approximately 55% in 2023 and 60% in 2022 of our Transit segment revenues from national advertising campaigns.

Transit segment franchise expenses represented 67% of Transit segment revenues in 2023 and 63% in 2022.

Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA was a loss of $16.0 million in 2023 compared to Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA of $3.8 million in 2022. The decrease in Transit segment Adjusted OIBDA was due primarily to increases in the MTA guaranteed minimum annual payments in 2023 and an increase in Transit segment SG&A expenses, compared to a lower increase in Transit segment revenues.

*Calculation is not meaningful.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire new businesses, assets or digital technology, directly or in connection with joint ventures (including buy/sell arrangements with joint venture partners). Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions and transaction-related expenses will be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment deployment costs. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

Although we have taken several actions to date to enhance our financial flexibility and increase our liquidity, our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability may be adversely affected if cash on hand and operating cash flows

52

decrease in 2025, and our ability to issue debt and equity securities and/or borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. (See the “Overview” section of this MD&A.)

Working capital was a deficit of $135.0 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to a deficit of $195.4 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the impact of the Transaction.

Under the current MTA agreement, which was amended in June 2020 and July 2021 and is subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA (as amended, the “MTA Agreement”):

•Deployments. We must deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, which amounts are subject to the MTA’s ability to fulfill its pre-installation obligations under the MTA Agreement. We are also obligated to deploy certain additional digital advertising screens and MTA communications displays in subway and train stations and rolling stock that the MTA may build or acquire in the future (collectively, the “New Inventory”).

•Recoupment of Equipment Deployment Costs. We may retain incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount for the cost of deploying advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system. As presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including impairment charges (see Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements). If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which are deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, will be paid directly by the MTA. For any deployment costs deemed authorized after December 31, 2020, the MTA and the Company will no longer be obligated to directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, and these costs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in 2024. In addition, we currently do not expect to recoup any equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement. We expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $35.0 million in 2025. We expect MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement and encompass replacement costs. Accordingly, we expect annual MTA equipment deployment costs will decline now that we have substantially completed our initial deployment during 2024.

•Payments. We must pay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Our payment obligations with respect to guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA resumed on January 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the MTA Agreement, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. The MTA Agreement also provides that if prior to April 1, 2028 the balance of unrecovered costs of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system is equal to or less than zero, then in any year following the year in which such recoupment occurs (the “Recoupment Year”), the MTA is entitled to receive an additional payment equal to 2.5% of the annual base revenue amount for such year calculated in accordance with the MTA Agreement, provided that gross revenues in such year (i) were at least equal to the gross revenues generated in the Recoupment Year, and (ii) did not decline by more than 5% from the prior year.

•Term. In July 2021, we extended the initial 10-year term of the MTA Agreement to a 13-year base term (the “Amended Term”). We have the option to extend the Amended Term for an additional five-year period at the end of the Amended Term, subject to satisfying certain quantitative and qualitative conditions.

We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund equipment deployment costs over the next couple of years. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of December 31, 2024, we have issued surety bonds in favor of the MTA totaling approximately $136.0 million, which amount is subject to

53

change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. As indicated in the table below, we incurred $29.3 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in 2024 (which includes equipment deployment costs related to future deployments), for a total of $608.9 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date. As of December 31, 2024, 26,245 digital displays had been installed, composed of 5,010 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, 15,224 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock and 6,011 MTA communications displays. In the fourth quarter of 2024, 900 installations occurred, for a total of 6,548 installations occurring in 2024.

As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in those periods for a total of $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment charges recorded during 2024 represented additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our analysis performed as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, resulted in positive aggregate cash flows in excess of the carrying value of our MTA asset group. As such, no impairment charges were recorded during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. (See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 4. Long-lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) We currently expect positive aggregate cash flows on an undiscounted basis through to the end of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. If our MTA performance continues to be in line with, or better than, our current model, we would not expect to incur additional impairment charges on our MTA equipment deployment cost spending. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2026 (the “Term Loan”) was 6.1% per annum as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, a discount of $0.5 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In June 2024, we prepaid $200.0 million of the outstanding principal balance on the Term Loan. In 2024, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, relating to the write-off of deferred financing costs and a portion of the discount on the Term Loan.

Revolving Credit Facility

We also have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2028 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” together with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

As of December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

55

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $2.0 million in 2024, $1.7 million in 2023 and $1.6 million in 2022. As of December 31, 2024, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $5.5 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2024, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $65.0 million under our aggregate $81.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities in 2024, 2023 and 2022 were immaterial.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities

As of December 31, 2024, we have a $150.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which terminates in June 2027, unless further extended.

On June 14, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the agreements governing the AR Facility, pursuant to which we (i) extended the term of the AR Facility so that it now terminates on June 14, 2027, unless further extended; and (ii) modified the upfront fee and modified the program fee so that the program fee may increase or decrease based on the Company’s Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined and described below). The amendment to the agreements governing the AR Facility do not change how we account for the AR Facility as a collateralized financing activity.

In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s TRSs (the “Originators”), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the “QRS SPV”) or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s TRS accounts receivable assets (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV, the “SPVs”). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs’ assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs’ assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.

As of December 31, 2024, there were $10.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility, at a borrowing rate of 5.9%. As of December 31, 2024, borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility was $140.0 million based on approximately $345.3 million of accounts receivable that could be used as collateral for the AR Facility in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was $0.3 million in 2024, $0.2 million in 2023 and $0.3 million in 2022. In January 2025, we made a repayment of $10.0 million under the AR Facility.

Debt Covenants

Our credit agreement, dated as of January 31, 2014 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Facility, and the indentures governing our senior notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Outfront Media Capital LLC’s capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2024, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.8 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Transaction, in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

56

The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Facility) require that we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2024, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.5 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Transaction, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2024, we had deferred $21.0 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility, the AR Facility and our senior notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior notes.

Equity

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. In 2024, no shares of our common stock were sold under the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

Series A Preferred Stock Issuance

On April 20, 2020, we issued 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend and distribution rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears, subject to increases as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, effective as of April 20, 2020 (the “Articles”). Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until April 20, 2028, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not, without the consent of a specified percentage of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-month period. If any dividends or distributions in respect of the shares of our common stock are paid in cash, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in the dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend for such quarter, which amounts will reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and a share cap as set forth in the Articles. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Articles (including a change of control), each of the Company and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may convert or redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at the prices set forth in the Articles, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Special Dividend and Reverse Stock Split

We issued 4,074,770 shares of common stock on December 31, 2024, to our common stockholders to pay the common stock portion of the Company’s special dividend of $0.75 per share on our common stock payable on December 31, 2024 (the “Special Dividend”).

To offset the dilutive impact of the Special Dividend, on January 8, 2025, we announced a 1-for-1.024549 reverse stock split on our common stock, such that every common stockholder would receive one share of common stock for every 1.024549 shares

57

of common stock held by such common stockholder outstanding as of January 17, 2025 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split took effect on January 17, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of January 17, 2025, was reduced from 170,061,181 to 165,986,229, which is substantially similar to the outstanding shares of common stock prior to the Special Dividend. The Company’s authorized shares of common stock and par value of each share of common stock remained unchanged.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows in 2024 and 2023.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20242023Change
Net cash flow provided by operating activities$299.2$254.218%
Net cash flow provided by (used for) investing activities207.5(107.5)*
Net cash flow used for financing activities(495.4)(151.5)*
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents(0.4)0.4*
Net increase (decrease) to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$10.9$(4.4)*

*Calculation is not meaningful.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $45.0 million in 2024 compared to 2023, due primarily to decrease in prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs, the timing of receivables and a smaller use of cash related to accounts payable and accrued expenses, driven by lower incentive compensation payments made in 2024 related to prior year performance and higher net income, partially offset by the timing of receivables.

Cash provided by investing activities was $207.5 million in 2024 compared to Cash used for investing activities of $107.5 million in 2023, due primarily to an increase in proceeds from dispositions of $305.2 million, primarily related to the Transaction, as well as lower cash paid for acquisitions and capital expenditures.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in 2024 and 2023.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20242023Change
Growth$56.4$56.6%
Maintenance21.730.2(28)
Total capital expenditures$78.1$86.8(10)

Capital expenditures decreased $8.7 million, or 10%, in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to lower spending related to the renovation of certain office facilities and lower spending on software and technology, partially offset by increased growth in digital displays and increased maintenance spending for billboard display upgrades.

For the full year of 2025, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $85.0 million, which will be used primarily for new and replacement digital displays, the renovation of certain office facilities, software and technology, maintenance and safety-related projects. This estimate does not include equipment deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA Agreement (as described above).

Cash used for financing activities increased by $343.9 million in 2024 compared to 2023. In 2024, we prepaid $200.0 million on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan, made net repayments on the AR Facility of $55.0 million and paid total cash dividends of $208.4 million on our common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees, and paid $23.9 million related to the exercise of a buy/sell arrangement by one of our joint venture partners resulting in our purchase of the outstanding noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary. In 2023, we drew $35.0 million of net borrowings on the AR Facility, received net proceeds of $50.0 million related to the offering of the 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 and the redemption of the 6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025, and paid total cash dividends of $207.0 million on our common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, and vested restricted share units granted to employees.

Cash paid for income taxes was $11.5 million in 2024 and $6.7 million in 2023. The increase was due primarily to income tax payments related to the Transaction.

Contractual Obligations

We have agreements with municipalities and transit operators which entitle us to operate advertising displays within their transit systems, including on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, transit shelters, street kiosks, and transit platforms. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchisor is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenues, net of agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment. Guaranteed minimum annual payments are generally paid monthly. (See Item 8., Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Total future minimum payments for rental payments under operating leases for billboard sites, office space and equipment of $2,210.5 million include $1,424.5 million for our billboard sites. (See Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of December 31, 2024, we had long-term debt of approximately $2.5 billion. Interest on the Term Loan is variable. For illustrative purposes, we are assuming an interest rate of 6.1% for all years, which reflects the interest rate as of December 31, 2024. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in the interest rate will change the annual interest expense by $1.0 million. (See Item 8., Note 8. Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of guaranteed minimum annual payments. (See Item 8., Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical as they are significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

MTA Agreement

Under the current MTA Agreement, which is subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, which amounts are subject to the MTA’s ability to fulfill its pre-installation obligations under the MTA Agreement. In addition, we are entitled to generate revenue through the sale of advertising on transit advertising displays and incur transit franchise expenses, which are calculated based on contractually stipulated percentages of revenue generated under the contract, subject to a minimum guarantee.

Title of the various digital displays transfers to the MTA on installation, therefore the cost of deploying these screens throughout the transit system does not represent our property and equipment. The portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to operating expenses as advertising revenue is generated. The short-term portion of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs represents the costs that we expect to recover from the MTA in the next twelve months. The portion of deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from advertising revenues that would otherwise be retained by us under the contract are recorded as Intangible assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the contract period. We assess the recoverability of the MTA contract on an as-needed basis and apply significant judgment in assessing factors to determine if there is an indication that the revenues expected to be generated over the term of

59

the agreement will be sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, product demand, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the deployment schedule. Additionally, we assess these factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results.

If we do not generate sufficient advertising revenues from the MTA contract, there is a risk that the related Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets may not be recoverable. Management assesses the prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. This assessment requires evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to determine if there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgment in assessing these factors, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, product demand, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the initial deployment schedule.

Additionally, management assesses quantitative factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results. In 2023, it was determined that our MTA transit revenue recovery had stalled since our MTA transit revenue did not meet our revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our revenue pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflected a continued decline in MTA transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across the MTA transit system. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2023, we updated our revenue projections to reflect no growth in 2023 followed by 5% to 10% growth throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As a result of the reduced revenue forecast and reduced time remaining on the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement, we did not expect to recoup any Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As a result, in the second quarter of 2023, we reclassified $385.0 million of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs to Intangible Assets. We then reviewed our MTA long-lived asset group to determine if there was a triggering event for impairment, noting that we were then projecting negative aggregate undiscounted cash flows of approximately $50.0 million through the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. Consequently, in the second quarter of 2023, we recorded an impairment charge of $443.1 million, representing all of our MTA long-lived asset group.

Since that time, all future deployment costs spending have and will continue to be recorded as Intangible assets rather than as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs until such time as we project to recoup spending from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA, which we currently do not expect throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement.

We assess these equipment deployment costs for impairment each period based on the assumptions and estimates described in this section and/or other factors that may arise. As a result of our expectation of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flows related to the MTA in 2023, we recorded additional impairment charges of $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, for a total impairment charge related to the MTA asset group of $466.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. We performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in those periods for a total of $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our analysis performed as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, resulted in positive aggregate cash flows in excess of the carrying value of our MTA asset group. As such, no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and three months ended December 31, 2024. The total impairment charge recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $17.9 million.

Our current assumption related to revenue continues to be annual growth between 5% and 10% throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. We performed a sensitivity analysis on our MTA transit revenue assumptions, noting that a change in our annual revenue growth rate of 1% between 2025 and 2030, holding all other assumptions constant except for variable sales compensation, would result in an approximately $50.0 million aggregate change in estimated cash flows.

We currently estimate we will spend between $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually on equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. We performed a sensitivity analysis on this assumption noting that a 10% change in our estimate of equipment deployment costs, holding all other assumptions constant, would result in an approximately $21.6 million aggregate change in estimated cash flows.

Based on the above, we currently expect positive aggregate cash flows on an undiscounted basis through to the end of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. If our MTA performance continues to be in line with, or better than, our current model, we would not expect to incur additional impairment charges on our MTA equipment deployment cost spending. The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Actual results may differ from our assumptions. There can be no assurance that these estimates and

60

assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Goodwill

We test goodwill qualitatively and/or quantitatively at the reporting-unit level annually for impairment as of October 31 of each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. A qualitative test assesses macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity specific events, as well as events affecting a reporting unit. If after the qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative assessment. We may also choose to only perform a quantitative assessment. We compute the estimated fair value of each reporting unit for which we perform a quantitative assessment by using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our discounted cash flow value is calculated by adding the present value of the estimated annual cash flows over a discrete projection period to the terminal value, which represents the value of the projected cash flows beyond the discrete projection period. Our discounted cash flow model requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, contract renewals and extensions, and discount rates. The estimated growth rates, operating margins and capital expenditures for the projection period are based on our internal forecasts of future performance as well as historical trends. The terminal value is estimated based on a perpetual nominal growth rate, which is based on projected long-range inflation and long-term industry projections. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics.

During the first half of 2023, it was determined that our transit revenue recovery had stalled since our historical Transit reporting unit did not meet revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflected a continued decline in transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across our transit business, including the MTA transit system. As a result, we determined that there was a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment analysis of our historical Transit reporting unit. As a result of the impairment analysis performed during the second quarter of 2023, we determined that the carrying value of our historical Transit reporting unit exceeded its fair value and we recorded an impairment charge of $47.6 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, representing the entire goodwill balance associated with the reporting unit.

As a result of impairment charges recorded in 2023 and the sale of the Canadian Business in the Transaction, the only reporting unit with a goodwill balance is our Billboard reporting unit. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we performed a qualitative assessment on our Billboard reporting unit as the estimated fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded carrying value and there were no factors indicating that it was more likely than not that the reporting unit was impaired. As of December 31, 2024, the goodwill balances associated with the Billboard reporting unit was $2.0 billion on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Actual results may differ from our assumptions. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our reporting units, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Long-Lived Assets

We report long-lived assets, including billboard advertising structures, other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We depreciate or amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. For billboard advertising structures, we estimate the useful lives based on the estimated economic life of the asset. Transit fixed assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related contractual term. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of acquired permits and leasehold agreements and franchise agreements, which grant us the right to operate out-of-home advertising structures in specified locations and the right to provide advertising displays on railroad and municipal transit properties. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is the respective life of the agreement and in some cases includes an estimation for renewals, which is based on historical experience. The significant assumptions we use to determine the useful lives and fair values of long-lived assets include contractual commitments, regulatory requirements, future expected cash flows and industry growth rates, as well as future salvage values.

61

We test for long-lived asset impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the respective asset’s carrying value, excluding any impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement Financial Position in conformity with GAAP. The amount of impairment loss, if any, will be measured by the difference between the net carrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset and recognized as a non-cash charge. Long-lived assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying value (including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses) or fair value less cost to sell.

We compute the estimated fair value of each asset group for which we perform a quantitative assessment using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our cash flow models requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, and discount rates. The projected revenue growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures are based on our internal forecasts of future performance, as well as historical trends. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our asset groups, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

As a result of negative aggregate undiscounted cash flow forecasts related to our MTA asset group, we performed quarterly impairment analyses on the MTA asset group during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and recorded impairment charges of $9.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in those periods for a total of $17.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment charges recorded during 2024 represented additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our analysis performed as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, resulted in positive aggregate cash flows in excess of the carrying value of our MTA asset group. As such, no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024. In 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $486.8 million, primarily representing $466.2 million of impairment charges related to our MTA asset group. (See the “Critical Accounting Policies: MTA Agreement” section of this MD&A.)

Overview

OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. We currently manage our operations through two operating segments—U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, and International. International does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, is included in Other (see Item 8., Note 18. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. and Canada. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives, from national, brand-building campaigns to hyper-local campaigns that drive customers to the advertiser’s website or retail location “one mile down the road.”

In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. Geopath, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, enables us to build campaigns based on the size and demographic composition of audiences. As part of our technology platform, we are developing solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go.

We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are always viewable and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective “stand-alone” medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign to reach audiences using multiple forms of media, including television, radio, print, online, mobile and social media advertising platforms. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, print production, creative services and post-campaign tracking and analytics.

On October 22, 2023, the Company, Outfront Canada HoldCo 2 LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Outfront Canada Sub LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together, the “Selling Subsidiaries”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Bell Media Inc. (the “Buyer”), relating to the sale of the Company’s outdoor advertising business in Canada (the “Canadian Business”). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Selling Subsidiaries agreed to sell all of its (and its affiliates) equity interests in Outdoor Systems Americas ULC and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”), which hold all of the assets of the Canadian Business, to the Buyer, for C$410.0 million in cash, payable on the date of the consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing”). The purchase price is subject to (i) adjustments at and following the Closing for working capital, cash, indebtedness, capital expenditures and transaction expenses, and (ii) a holdback to be released at or following the Closing, in whole or in part, if certain third-party contracts are renewed or extended on certain terms. The consummation of the Transaction is expected to occur in the first half of 2024, subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the absence of any enacted or pending law, order, judgment or litigation by a governmental authority prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction, and (ii) receipt of antitrust approval in Canada (the

38

“Antitrust Approval”). (See Item 8., Note 12. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Disposition: Canadian Business to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as supply chain disruptions, heightened levels of inflation, pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic, industry shutdowns or slowdowns (including due to labor strikes), and shifts in market demographics and transportation patterns (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences due to remote work, safety concerns or otherwise), as described in this MD&A. These sensitivities may adversely impact our revenues and operating results on a consolidated basis and/or may have a disproportionate adverse impact on one or more of our operating segments, especially our U.S. Transit operating segment.

We rely on third parties to manufacture and transport our digital displays. As a result of the current market-wide supply shortages and logistics disruptions, we have experienced delays and price increases with respect to certain of our digital displays, which may continue throughout 2024, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Due to the current heightened levels of inflation and commodity prices in the U.S. and abroad, which has resulted in rising interest rates, we have experienced increases with respect to some of our posting, maintenance and other expenses, some of our corporate expenses, and our interest expense, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our billboard property lease expenses and transit franchise expenses have been less impacted by the current heightened levels of inflation due to the long-term nature of most of our operating leases and transit franchise agreements. However, our transit franchise agreements that contain inflationary price adjustments may cause increases in our transit franchise expenses in the near-term. Though the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the current heightened levels of inflation on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, a portion of these increases may be partially offset by increases in advertising rates on our displays and cost efficiencies.

Business Environment

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for both customers and structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters, supermarkets and taxis.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging messages, provide our customers with the flexibility both to target audiences by time of day and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print production and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four to five times more revenue per display on average than comparable traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to four times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than comparable traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than comparable traditional static billboard displays.

We have deployed state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises we operate and we expect to continue these deployments over the coming years, but at a slower pace than our historical deployments. We believe revenues generated on our network of digital transit displays will be higher than revenues generated on a comparable portfolio of our static transit displays.

We have incurred, and we intend to incur, significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio. However, we expect our annual equipment deployment cost spending with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) transit franchise will decline after our expected material completion of our initial deployment in 2024.

39

We built or converted 84 new digital billboard displays in the U.S. and 45 in Canada in 2023. Additionally, in 2023, we entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 46 third-party digital billboard displays in the U.S. and two in Canada. In 2023, we built, converted or replaced 5,624 digital transit and other displays in the U.S. and 23 in Canada. The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

Total$441.7$146.6$588.32,19121,69423,885

(a)Digital display amounts include 4,980 displays reserved for transit agency use. Our number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements, the net effect of new and lost billboards, and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period.

Our revenues and profits may fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits may also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During 2023, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and health/medical, which represented 20%, 11%, and 9% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During 2022, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and health/medical, which represented 20%, 11% and 9% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively.

Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. In 2023, we generated approximately 42% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns, compared to approximately 44% in 2022.

Our transit businesses require us to periodically obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain or renew contracts.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.

Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“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.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a significant acquisition and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”). We provide organic revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of non-organic revenue items. Our management believes organic revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since organic revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Organic revenues, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit and other revenues are recognized over the contract period. (See Item 8., Note 11. Revenues to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a significant acquisition and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”).

Total revenues increased $48.5 million, or 3%, and organic revenues increased $47.5 million, or 3%, in 2023 compared to 2022.

In 2023 and 2022, non-organic revenues reflect the impact of a significant acquisition. In 2022, non-organic revenues also reflect the impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Total billboard revenues increased $60.2 million, or 4%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), driven by the impact of programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms on digital billboard revenues, the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including acquisitions, and higher proceeds from condemnations.

Organic billboard revenues increased $58.7 million, or 4%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), driven by the impact of programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms on digital billboard revenues, the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including insignificant acquisitions, and higher proceeds from condemnations.

Total transit and other revenues decreased $11.7 million, or 3%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), driven by weaker market conditions in national advertising, which primarily impacted advertising sales on certain above-ground advertising displays, partially offset by the impact of a new transit franchise contract.

Organic transit and other revenues in 2023 decreased $11.2 million, or 3%, compared to 2022, primarily due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), driven by weaker market conditions in national advertising, which primarily impacted advertising sales on certain above-ground advertising displays, partially offset by the impact of a new transit franchise contract.

Transit ridership remains materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in our largest transit markets and while we expect ridership to gradually grow over time, we do not expect ridership to reach pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels during the remaining terms of our current transit agreements. While ridership has increased during 2023 as compared to 2022, the increase in ridership has not led to an increase in overall demand for transit displays.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are composed of the following:

Billboard property lease expenses. These expenses reflect the cost of leasing the real property on which our billboards are mounted. These lease agreements have terms varying between one month and multiple years, and usually provide renewal options. Rental expenses are comprised of a fixed rental amount and under certain agreements, also include contingent rent, which varies based on the revenues we generate from the leased site. The fixed portion of property leases are generally paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months and expensed evenly over the contract term. Contingent rent is generally paid in arrears and is expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized.

Transit franchise expenses. These expenses reflect costs charged by municipalities and transit operators under transit advertising contracts. All of these contracts have fixed terms, are typically terminable for convenience at the option of the governmental entity (other than with respect to the MTA), and generally provide for payments to the governmental entity based on a percentage of the revenues generated under the contract and/or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. The costs that are determined based on a percentage of revenues are expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment is expensed over the contract term.

Posting, maintenance and other site-related expenses. These expenses primarily reflect costs associated with posting and rotation, materials, repairs and maintenance, utilities and property taxes.

Total operating expenses$968.3$911.46

Billboard property lease expenses represented 35% of billboard revenues in 2023 and 33% in 2022. The increase in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of billboard revenues in 2023 compared to 2022 is primarily due to an increase in variable billboard property lease expenses (see Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements), which are primarily attributable to billboard revenue increases in large markets and high profile locations, an out-of-period adjustment of $5.2 million recorded in 2023, related to variable billboard property lease expenses (see Item 8., Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to the Consolidated Financial Statements), and the impact of new locations, including through acquisitions.

Transit franchise expenses represented 71% of transit display revenues in 2023 and 67% in 2022. The increase in transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of revenues, is primarily driven by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA. We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of transit display revenues, to decline in 2024 compared to 2023, but remain above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as a result of our expectation that revenues generated under the MTA Agreement (as defined below) in 2024 will grow at a compound annual growth rate above the inflation-adjusted guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA.

43

Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses increased by $55.2 million in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, including an out-of-period adjustment of $5.2 million recorded in 2023, related to variable billboard property lease expenses (see Item 8., Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the impact of new locations, including through acquisitions, and higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA.

Posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were 12% in each of 2023 and 2022. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $1.7 million, or 1%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses and higher maintenance and utilities cost, driven by inflationary cost increases in 2023, partially offset by lower posting and rotation costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses represented 24% of Revenues in 2023 and 24% in 2022. SG&A expenses increased $7.6 million, or 2%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees, higher professional fees, rent related to new offices, higher insurance costs and a higher provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by lower compensation-related expenses. We continue to evaluate methods to lower SG&A expense growth.

Net (Gain) Loss on Dispositions

Net gain on dispositions was $14.2 million in 2023 compared to a Net loss on dispositions of $0.2 million in 2022. The Net gain on dispositions in 2023 was primarily related to the sale of three parcels of land and the related structures in Los Angeles, California, (see Item 8., Note 12. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions: Los Angeles Office and Operations Center to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and in St. Louis, Missouri.

Impairment Charges

In 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $534.7 million.

As a result of the impairment analysis performed during the second quarter of 2023, we determined that the carrying value of our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit exceeded its fair value and we recorded an impairment charge of $47.6 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, representing the entire goodwill balance associated with the reporting unit. (See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this MD&A.)

During the second quarter of 2023, we also performed an analysis of the carrying value of our long-lived asset groups within our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit as a result of the triggering event noted above utilizing undiscounted cash flows compared to the carrying value of the asset groups and determined that they were not fully recoverable. We then compared the fair value of the assets (calculated using a cash flow model) to the carrying value and we recorded an impairment charge of $463.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily representing a $443.1 million impairment charge related to our MTA asset group. As a result of our continued expectation of negative aggregate cash flows related to our MTA asset group, we recorded additional impairment charges of $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the quarters. (See Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In addition, in the second quarter of 2023, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million related to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value of a cost-method investment.

Depreciation

Depreciation increased $1.9 million, or 2%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to capital expenditures and acquisitions in 2022, partially offset by an increase in fully-depreciated assets.

Amortization

Amortization increased $7.9 million, or 11%, in 2023 compared to 2022, due primarily to higher amortization of leasehold interest intangibles recorded related to asset acquisitions, partially offset by lower amortization related to franchise agreements associated with the MTA.

44

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net, was $158.4 million (including $6.7 million of deferred financing costs) in 2023 and $131.8 million (including $6.5 million of deferred financing costs) in 2022. The increase in Interest expense, net, in 2023 compared to 2022, was primarily due to higher interest rates and a higher average debt balance.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2023, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.1 million relating to the redemption of all of our outstanding 6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes decreased $5.4 million, or 57%, in 2023 compared to 2022, due primarily to a valuation allowance against our U.S. taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) accumulated deferred tax assets in 2022. The effective income tax rate was 0.9% for 2023 and 6.0% for 2022.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss before allocation to non-controlling interests was $429.7 million in 2023 compared to Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests of $149.1 million in 2022, driven by lower operating income, due primarily to impairment charges, and higher interest expense.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted OIBDA

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation and impairment charges. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

FFO and AFFO

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and non-controlling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on non-real estate assets, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our non-controlling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes

45

users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., and revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in 2023 of $130.0 million decreased $195.2 million, or 60%, compared to 2022, due primarily to impairment charges on non-real estate assets, higher interest expense and lower Adjusted OIBDA. AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in 2023 of $270.6 million decreased $40.7 million, or 13%, compared to 2022, due primarily to higher interest expense, lower Adjusted OIBDA and higher maintenance capital expenditures, partially offset by the impact of non-cash effect of straight-line rent.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 18. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We currently manage our operations through two operating segments—U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, and International. International does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, is included in Other. Our segment reporting therefore includes U.S. Media and Other.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a significant acquisition (“non-organic revenues”).

Total U.S. Media segment revenues increased $48.4 million, or 3%, in 2023 compared to 2022, due primarily to higher billboard revenues. We generated approximately 42% in 2023 and 44% in 2022 of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns.

In 2023 and 2022, non-organic revenues reflect the impact of a significant acquisition.

Billboard revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $60.9 million, or 5%, in 2023 compared to 2022, reflecting an increase in average revenue per display (yield), driven by the impact of programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms on digital billboard revenues, the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including acquisitions, and higher proceeds from condemnations.

Organic billboard revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $56.7 million, or 4%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), driven by the impact of programmatic and direct sale advertising platforms on digital billboard revenues, the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including insignificant acquisitions, and higher proceeds from condemnations.

Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment decreased $12.5 million, or 3%, in 2023 compared to 2022, driven by a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), driven by weaker market conditions in national advertising, which primarily

49

impacted advertising sales on certain above-ground advertising displays, partially offset by the impact of a new transit franchise contract.

Organic transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment decreased $12.5 million, or 3%, in 2023, compared to 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), driven by weaker market conditions in national advertising, which primarily impacted advertising sales on certain above-ground advertising displays, partially offset by the impact of a new transit franchise contract.

Transit ridership remains materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in our largest transit markets and while we expect ridership to gradually grow over time, we do not expect ridership to reach pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels during the remaining terms of our current transit agreements. While ridership has increased during 2023 as compared to 2022, the increase in ridership has not led to an increase in overall demand for transit displays.

Billboard property lease expenses in the U.S. Media segment represented 35% of billboard revenues in 2023 and 33% in 2022, and transit franchise expenses represented 73% of transit display revenues in 2023 and 68% in 2022. We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of transit display revenues, to decline in 2024 compared to 2023, but remain above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as a result of our expectation that revenues generated under the MTA Agreement (as defined below) in 2024 will grow at a compound annual growth rate above the inflation-adjusted guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA. Operating expenses in the U.S. Media segment increased $59.0 million, or 7%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher variable billboard property lease expenses, including an out-of-period adjustment of $5.2 million recorded in 2023 (see Item 8., Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to the Consolidated Financial Statements), higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA, higher compensation-related expenses and higher maintenance and utilities cost, driven by inflationary cost increases in 2023, partially offset by lower posting and rotation costs.

SG&A expenses in the U.S. Media segment increased $11.2 million, or 4%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher professional fees, higher insurance costs, higher rent related to new offices, a higher provision for doubtful accounts and higher compensation-related expenses.

In 2023, we recorded impairment charges of $534.7 million in the U.S. Media segment, primarily related to impairment charges related to our MTA asset group and our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit (see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

U.S. Media segment Adjusted OIBDA decreased $21.8 million, or 4%, in 2023 compared to 2022. Adjusted OIBDA margin was 28% in 2023 and 30% in 2022. The decrease in Adjusted OIBDA margins was due primarily to a higher increase in operating expenses, due to an increase in billboard property lease expenses, including an out-of-period adjustment of $5.2 million recorded in 2023 related to variable billboard property lease expenses (see Item 8., Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to the Consolidated Financial Statements), increases in the MTA guaranteed minimum annual payments in 2023 and an increase in SG&A expenses, compared to a lower increase in revenues.

Corporate

Corporate expenses primarily include expenses associated with employees who provide centralized services. Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, were $51.5 million in 2023 and $49.4 million in 2022. Corporate expenses increased $2.1 million in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees and higher professional fees, partially offset by lower compensation-related expenses.

*Calculation is not meaningful.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire new businesses, assets or digital technology. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions could be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment deployment costs. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

Although we have taken several actions to date to preserve our financial flexibility and increase our liquidity, our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability may be adversely affected by the current heightened levels of inflation and related economic environment if cash on hand and operating cash flows decrease in 2024, and our ability to issue debt and

52

equity securities and/or borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. (See the “Overview” section of this MD&A.)

Working capital was a deficit of $195.4 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to a working capital deficit of $161.2 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily driven by increased borrowings under the AR Facility and higher accrued lease and franchise costs, partially offset by lower bonus accruals.

Under the current MTA agreement, which was amended in June 2020 and July 2021 and is subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA (as amended, the “MTA Agreement”):

•Deployments. We must deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays. We are also obligated to deploy certain additional digital advertising screens and MTA communications displays in subway and train stations and rolling stock that the MTA may build or acquire in the future (collectively, the “New Inventory”).

•Recoupment of Equipment Deployment Costs. We may retain incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount for the cost of deploying advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system. As presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including impairment charges (see Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements). If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which are deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, will be paid directly by the MTA. For any deployment costs deemed authorized after December 31, 2020, the MTA and the Company will no longer be obligated to directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, and these costs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in 2023. In addition, we currently do not expect to recoup any equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement. We expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $50.0 million in 2024. After 2024, we expect MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million annually throughout the remainder of the Amended Term (as defined below) of the MTA Agreement and encompass replacement costs. Accordingly, we expect annual MTA equipment deployment costs after 2024 to be significantly below prior year levels as we expect to substantially complete our initial deployment during 2024.

•Payments. We must pay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Our payment obligations with respect to guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA resumed on January 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the MTA Agreement, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. The MTA Agreement also provides that if prior to April 1, 2028 the balance of unrecovered costs of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system is equal to or less than zero, then in any year following the year in which such recoupment occurs (the “Recoupment Year”), the MTA is entitled to receive an additional payment equal to 2.5% of the annual base revenue amount for such year calculated in accordance with the MTA Agreement, provided that gross revenues in such year (i) were at least equal to the gross revenues generated in the Recoupment Year, and (ii) did not decline by more than 5% from the prior year.

•Term. In July 2021, we extended the initial 10-year term of the MTA Agreement to a 13-year base term (the “Amended Term”). We have the option to extend the Amended Term for an additional five-year period at the end of the Amended Term, subject to satisfying certain quantitative and qualitative conditions.

We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund equipment deployment costs over the next couple of years. However, given the current heightened levels of inflation and related economic environment, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of December 31, 2023, we have issued surety bonds in favor of

53

the MTA totaling approximately $136.0 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of transit display revenues, to decline in 2024 compared to 2023, but remain above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as a result of our expectation that revenues generated under the MTA Agreement in 2024 will grow at a compound annual growth rate above the inflation-adjusted guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA. As indicated in the table below, we incurred $43.7 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in 2023 (which includes equipment deployment costs related to future deployments), for a total of $579.6 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date. As of December 31, 2023, 19,697 digital displays had been installed, composed of 5,121 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, 9,674 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock and 4,902 MTA communications displays. In the fourth quarter of 2023, 911 installations occurred, for a total of 5,544 installations occurring in 2023.

During the second quarter of 2023, we performed an analysis of the carrying value of our long-lived asset groups within our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit as a result of the triggering event noted above utilizing undiscounted cash flows compared to the carrying value of the asset groups and determined that they were not fully recoverable. We then compared the fair value of the assets (calculated using a cash flow model) to the carrying value and we recorded an impairment charge of $463.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily representing a $443.1 million impairment charge related to our MTA asset group.

As a result of our continued expectation of negative aggregate cash flows related to our MTA asset group, we recorded additional impairment charges of $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the quarters. (See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 4. Long-Lived Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2026 (the “Term Loan”) was 7.1% per annum as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, a discount of $1.1 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

55

Revolving Credit Facility

We also have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2028 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” together with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company, along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (“Finance LLC”) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (together with Finance LLC, the “Borrowers”), and the other guarantors party thereto, entered into two amendments (the “Amendments”) to the Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Amendments provide for (i) the replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as the interest rate benchmark, (ii) the extension of the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility from its previous maturity date of November 18, 2024 to June 15, 2028, and (iii) an increase in the interest rate margins applicable to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility from a range of 1.25% to 1.75% to a range of 1.75% to 2.25%, in the case of Secured Overnight Financing Rate borrowings, based on the Borrowers’ leverage ratio. The Amendments also include springing maturity refinancing provisions with respect to the Borrowers’ outstanding term loan indebtedness and certain series of senior notes issued by the Borrowers, in each case, which have maturity dates prior to June 15, 2028, as well as other clarifying, conforming and ministerial changes to the Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1.7 million in 2023, $1.6 million in 2022 and $1.8 million in 2021. As of December 31, 2023, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $6.5 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2023, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $75.6 million under our aggregate $81.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities in 2023, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities

As of December 31, 2023, we have a $150.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which terminates in May 2025, unless further extended.

In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s TRSs (the “Originators”), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the “QRS SPV”) or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s TRS accounts receivable assets (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV, the “SPVs”). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs’ assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs’ assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.

As of December 31, 2023, there were $65.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility, at a borrowing rate of 6.5%. As of December 31, 2023, borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility was $85.0 million based on approximately $316.0 million of accounts receivable that could be used as collateral for the AR Facility in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was $0.2 million in 2023, $0.3 million in 2022 and immaterial in 2021. In January 2024, we made a repayment of $10.0 million under the AR Facility.

56

Senior Secured Notes

On November 20, 2023, the Borrowers issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) in a private placement. The 2031 Notes are senior secured obligations of the Borrowers and are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities (the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the related guarantees are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, on a pari passu basis with the Senior Credit Facilities (subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement), subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, including the exclusion of equity in Canadian subsidiaries that are pending sale. Interest on the 2031 Notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2024. On or after November 15, 2026, the Borrowers may redeem at any time, or from time to time, some or all of the 2031 Notes. Prior to such date the Borrowers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes will remain outstanding after the redemption. In addition the Borrowers may redeem some or all of the 2031 Notes at any time, or from time to time, prior to November 15, 2026, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

On November 21, 2023, we used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Notes to redeem all of our outstanding 2025 Notes and to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the 2025 Notes, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the 2031 Notes offering and the 2025 Notes redemption. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.1 million relating to the 2025 Notes on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Debt Covenants

Our credit agreement, dated as of January 31, 2014 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Facility, and the indentures governing our senior notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Outfront Media Capital LLC’s capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2023, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 5.3 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Facility) require that we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2023, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 2.0 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2023, we had deferred $27.4 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility, the AR Facility and our senior notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior notes.

Equity

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. In 2023, no shares of our common stock were sold under the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

Series A Preferred Stock Issuance

On April 20, 2020, we issued 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend and distribution rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears, subject to increases as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, effective as of April 20, 2020 (the “Articles”). Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until April 20, 2028, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not, without the consent of a specified percentage of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-month period. If any dividends or distributions in respect of the shares of our common stock are paid in cash, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in the dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend for such quarter, which amounts will reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and a share cap as set forth in the Articles. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Articles (including a change of control), each of the Company and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may convert or redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at the prices set forth in the Articles, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows in 2023 and 2022.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20232022Change
Net cash flow provided by operating activities$254.2$254.1%
Net cash flow used for investing activities(107.5)(449.5)(76)
Net cash flow used for financing activities(151.5)(188.0)(19)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents0.4(1.0)*
Net decrease to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$(4.4)$(384.4)(99)

*Calculation is not meaningful.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $0.1 million in 2023 compared to 2022, due primarily to a decrease in prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs, partially offset by lower net income in 2023 compared to 2022, due to increased operating and SG&A expenses, and higher interest expense. In 2023, we paid net cash of $44.4 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs and installed 5,544 digital displays. In 2022, we paid $79.8 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs and installed 3,061 digital displays.

Cash used for investing activities decreased $342.0 million, or 76%, in 2023 compared to 2022, due primarily to lower cash paid for acquisitions and higher cash received from dispositions.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in 2023 and 2022.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20232022Change
Growth$56.6$64.3(12)%
Maintenance30.225.518
Total capital expenditures$86.8$89.8(3)

58

Capital expenditures decreased $3.0 million, or 3%, in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to the timing of payments related to growth in digital displays and lower spending on safety-related projects, partially offset by higher spending related to the renovation of certain office facilities.

For the full year of 2024, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $75.0 million, which will be used primarily for growth in digital displays, software and technology, maintenance, safety-related projects and the renovation of certain office facilities. This estimate does not include equipment deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA Agreement (as described above).

Cash used for financing activities decreased $36.5 million, or 19%, in 2023 compared to 2022. In 2023, drew $35.0 million of net borrowings under the AR Facility, received net proceeds of $50.0 million related to the offering of the 2031 Notes and the redemption of the 2025 Notes, and paid total cash dividends of $207.0 million on our common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees, as well as deferred financing costs related to the offering of the 2031 Notes and payment of debt extinguishment charges related to the redemption of the 2025 Notes. In 2022, we drew $30.0 million of borrowings on the AR Facility and paid total cash dividends of $205.8 million on our common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, and vested restricted share units granted to employees.

Cash paid for income taxes was $6.7 million in 2023 and $3.3 million in 2022. The increase was due primarily to the timing of Canadian estimated income tax payments.

Contractual Obligations

We have agreements with municipalities and transit operators which entitle us to operate advertising displays within their transit systems, including on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, transit shelters, street kiosks, and transit platforms. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchisor is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenues, net of agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment. Guaranteed minimum annual payments are generally paid monthly. (See Item 8., Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Total future minimum payments for rental payments under operating leases for billboard sites, office space and equipment of $2,323.0 million include $2,192.1 million for our billboard sites. (See Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of December 31, 2023, we had long-term debt of approximately $2.7 billion. Interest on the Term Loan is variable. For illustrative purposes, we are assuming an interest rate of 7.1% for all years, which reflects the interest rate as of December 31, 2023. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in the interest rate will change the annual interest expense by $1.5 million. (See Item 8., Note 8. Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In 2024, we do not expect to contribute to our defined benefit pension plans. (See Item 8., Note 14. Retirement Benefits to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of guaranteed minimum annual payments. (See Item 8., Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical as they are significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application. For a

59

summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

MTA Agreement

Under the current MTA Agreement, which is subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays. In addition, we are entitled to generate revenue through the sale of advertising on transit advertising displays and incur transit franchise expenses, which are calculated based on contractually stipulated percentages of revenue generated under the contract, subject to a minimum guarantee.

Title of the various digital displays transfers to the MTA on installation, therefore the cost of deploying these screens throughout the transit system does not represent our property and equipment. The portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to operating expenses as advertising revenue is generated. The short-term portion of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs represents the costs that we expect to recover from the MTA in the next twelve months. The portion of deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from advertising revenues that would otherwise be retained by us under the contract are recorded as Intangible assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the contract period. We assess the recoverability of the MTA contract on an as-needed basis and apply significant judgment in assessing factors to determine if there is an indication that the revenues expected to be generated over the term of the agreement will be sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, product demand, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the deployment schedule. Additionally, we assess these factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results.

If we do not generate sufficient advertising revenues from the MTA contract, there is a risk that the related Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets may not be recoverable. Management assesses the prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. This assessment requires evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to determine if there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgment in assessing these factors, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, product demand, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the initial deployment schedule.

Additionally, management assesses quantitative factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results. In 2022, we updated our projections and did not identify a triggering event for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. The projections utilized for 2022 assumed the continued recovery of transit ridership and revenues towards pre-COVID-19 levels and expected growth in revenue generation from our significant digital deployment throughout the MTA transit system as required by the MTA Agreement. By the end of the first half of 2023, it was determined that our MTA transit revenue recovery had stalled since our MTA transit revenue did not meet our revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our revenue pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflected a continued decline in MTA transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across the MTA transit system. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2023, we updated our revenue projections to reflect no growth in 2023 followed by 5% to 10% growth throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As a result of the reduced revenue forecast and reduced time remaining on the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement, we currently do not expect to recoup any Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As a result, in the second quarter of 2023, we reclassified $385.0 million of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs to Intangible Assets. We then reviewed our MTA long-lived asset group to determine if there was a triggering event for impairment, noting that we were projecting negative aggregate cash flows of approximately $50.0 million through the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. Consequently, in the second quarter of 2023, we recorded an impairment charge of $443.1 million, representing all of our MTA long-lived asset group.

All future deployment costs spending will be recorded as Intangible assets rather than as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs until such time as we project to recoup spending from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA, which we currently do not expect throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. Even if we do not recoup our spending from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA, our current projections are that the MTA Agreement will be cash flow neutral (i.e., Adjusted OIBDA related to the MTA Agreement will equal MTA equipment deployment costs) over the remaining Amended Term of the MTA Agreement at some point in 2024. We will assess

60

these equipment deployment costs for impairment each period. Currently, future impairment charges may be required during 2024 with respect to all or a portion of the up to approximately $50.0 million of MTA equipment deployment costs we expect to spend in 2024, and may be required beyond 2024 with respect to all or a portion of the additional MTA equipment deployment costs we will be required to incur under the MTA Agreement, in each case, to the extent we continue to project cash flow losses throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement based on the assumptions and estimates described in this section and/or other factors that may arise.

Our performance during the second half of 2023 was in line with our expectations as of the end of the second quarter of 2023. We evaluated our long-term MTA revenue projections as of year-end 2023, and we continue to believe that MTA transit revenue will grow by 5% to 10% throughout the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. As a result, as of December 31, 2023, we continue to project negative aggregate cash flows of approximately $25.0 million through the remainder of the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement. We expect to be cash flow neutral at some point in 2024. As a result of our continued expectation of negative aggregate cash flows related to the MTA, we recorded additional impairment charges of $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the quarters.

We performed a sensitivity analysis on our MTA transit revenue assumptions, noting that a change in our annual revenue growth rate of 1% between 2024 and 2030, holding all other assumptions constant except for variable sales compensation, would result in an approximately $70.0 million aggregate change in estimated cash flows. The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Actual results may differ from our assumptions. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease our cash flows, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Goodwill

We test goodwill qualitatively and/or quantitatively at the reporting-unit level annually for impairment as of October 31 of each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. A qualitative test assesses macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity specific events, as well as events affecting a reporting unit. If after the qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative assessment. We may also choose to only perform a quantitative assessment. We compute the estimated fair value of each reporting unit for which we perform a quantitative assessment by using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our discounted cash flow value is calculated by adding the present value of the estimated annual cash flows over a discrete projection period to the terminal value, which represents the value of the projected cash flows beyond the discrete projection period. Our discounted cash flow model requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, contract renewals and extensions, and discount rates. The estimated growth rates, operating margins and capital expenditures for the projection period are based on our internal forecasts of future performance as well as historical trends. The terminal value is estimated based on a perpetual nominal growth rate, which is based on projected long-range inflation and long-term industry projections. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics.

By the end of the first half of 2023, it was determined that our transit revenue recovery had stalled since our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit did not meet revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflected a continued decline in transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across our transit business, including the MTA transit system. As a result, we determined that there was a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment analysis of our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit.

Our current discounted cash flow model assumptions and estimates with respect to revenues in our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit is currently projected to grow in the mid-single digits in 2024, high single digits in 2025-2026 and then trending back to a mid-single digit growth rate thereafter. We believe this growth will be driven by expected revenue generation from increased demand for transit digital displays due to additional rolling stock digital deployment in the MTA transit system and additional digital deployment in other transit systems, product enhancements to our transit digital displays and related assets, and a gradual increase in transit ridership over the remaining terms of our transit franchise agreements. Additionally, we are currently no longer assuming that we will exercise the five-year extension to the Amended Term of the MTA Agreement due to our lowered revenue growth assumptions and currently contractually required increase to the minimum annual guarantee

61

payments to the MTA during the extension period. Other than with respect to the MTA Agreement, we are assuming that we will be able to renew our significant transit franchise agreements.

As a result of the impairment analysis performed during the second quarter of 2023, we determined that the carrying value of our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit exceeded its fair value and we recorded an impairment charge of $47.6 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, representing the entire goodwill balance associated with the reporting unit.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we performed a qualitative assessment on our U.S. Billboard and Canadian reporting units as the estimated fair value of those reporting units substantially exceeded carrying value and there were no factors indicating that it was more likely than not that those reporting units were impaired. As of December 31, 2023, the goodwill balances associated with the U.S. billboard reporting unit was $2,006.4 million and $22.9 million related to the Canada reporting unit was included in Assets Held for Sale on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Actual results may differ from our assumptions. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our reporting units, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Long-Lived Assets

We report long-lived assets, including billboard advertising structures, other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We depreciate or amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. For billboard advertising structures, we estimate the useful lives based on the estimated economic life of the asset. Transit fixed assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related contractual term. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of acquired permits and leasehold agreements and franchise agreements, which grant us the right to operate out-of-home advertising structures in specified locations and the right to provide advertising displays on railroad and municipal transit properties. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is the respective life of the agreement and in some cases includes an estimation for renewals, which is based on historical experience. The significant assumptions we use to determine the useful lives and fair values of long-lived assets include contractual commitments, regulatory requirements, future expected cash flows and industry growth rates, as well as future salvage values.

We test for long-lived asset impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the respective asset’s carrying value, excluding any impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement Financial Position in conformity with GAAP. The amount of impairment loss, if any, will be measured by the difference between the net carrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset and recognized as a non-cash charge. Long-lived assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying value (including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses) or fair value less cost to sell.

We compute the estimated fair value of each asset group for which we perform a quantitative assessment using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our cash flow models requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, and discount rates. The projected revenue growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures are based on our internal forecasts of future performance, as well as historical trends. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our asset groups, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

By the end of the first half of 2023, it was determined that our transit revenue recovery had stalled since our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit did not meet revenue expectations, and as of June 30, 2023, our pacing and outlook for the remainder of 2023 reflected a continued decline in transit revenues as compared to our 2023 forecast due to the underperformance across our transit business, including the MTA transit system. As a result, we determined that there was a triggering event requiring an impairment analysis of the assets groups within our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit. We performed an analysis of the carrying value of our long-lived asset groups, utilizing undiscounted cash flows, and determined that they were not fully

62

recoverable. We then compared the fair value of the assets (calculated using a cash flow model) to the carrying value and we recorded an impairment charge of $463.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily representing a $443.1 million impairment charge related to our MTA asset group. As a result of our continued expectation of negative aggregate cash flows related to the MTA asset group, we recorded additional impairment charges of $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing additional MTA equipment deployment cost spending during the quarters.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described herein or implied by such forward-looking statements. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, is included in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“) on February 24, 2022.

Overview

OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. We currently manage our operations through two operating segments—U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, and International. International does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, is included in Other (see Item 8., Note 19. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. and Canada. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives, from national, brand-building campaigns to hyper-local campaigns that drive customers to the advertiser’s website or retail location “one mile down the road.”

In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. Geopath, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, enables us to build campaigns based on the size and demographic composition of audiences. As part of our technology platform, we are developing solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go.

We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are always viewable and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective “stand-alone” medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign to reach audiences using multiple forms of media, including television, radio, print, online, mobile and social media advertising platforms. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, print production, creative services and post-campaign tracking and analytics.

U.S. Media. Our U.S. Media segment generated 20% of its revenues in the New York City metropolitan area in 2022 and 17% in 2021, and generated 15% in the Los Angeles metropolitan area in each of 2022 and 2021. Our U.S. Media segment generated Revenues of $1,673.9 million in 2022 and $1,382.0 million in 2021, and Operating income before Depreciation, Amortization, Net gain on dispositions, Stock-based compensation and an Impairment charge (“Adjusted OIBDA”) of $501.2 million in 2022 and $382.9 million in 2021. (See the “Segment Results of Operations” section of this MD&A.)

Other (includes International). Other generated Revenues of $98.2 million in 2022 and $81.9 million in 2021, and Adjusted OIBDA of $20.6 million in 2022 and $10.4 million in 2021.

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as supply chain disruptions, heightened levels of inflation, pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic, and shifts in market demographics and transportation patterns (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences due to remote work, safety concerns or otherwise), as described in this MD&A.

We rely on third parties to manufacture and transport our digital displays. As a result of the current market-wide supply shortages and logistics disruptions, we have experienced delays and price increases with respect to certain of our digital displays, which we expect to continue in 2023, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Due to the current heightened levels of inflation and commodity prices in the U.S. and abroad, which has resulted in rising interest rates, we have experienced increases with respect to our posting, maintenance and other expenses, our corporate expenses and our interest expense, which we expect to continue in 2023, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our billboard property lease expenses and transit franchise expenses have been less impacted by the current heightened levels of inflation due to the long-term nature of most of our operating leases and transit franchise agreements. However, our transit franchise agreements that contain inflationary price adjustments may cause increases in our transit franchise expenses in the near-term if the current heightened levels of inflation continue. Though the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the current heightened levels of inflation on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, a portion of these increases may be partially offset by increases in advertising rates on our displays and cost efficiencies.

Business Environment

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for both customers and structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters, supermarkets and taxis.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging messages, provide our customers with the flexibility both to target audiences by time of day and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print production and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four times more revenue per display on average than traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to four times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than traditional static billboard displays.

We have deployed state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises we operate and we expect to continue these deployments over the coming years. In the future, we expect revenues generated on digital transit displays will be a multiple of the revenues generated on comparable static transit displays. We intend to incur significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio.

We built or converted 110 new digital billboard displays in the U.S. and 9 in Canada in 2022. Additionally, in 2022, we entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 85 third-party digital billboard displays in the U.S. In 2022, we built, converted or replaced 3,410 digital transit and other displays in the U.S. The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

Total$400.8$139.1$539.91,97016,07618,046

(a)Digital display amounts include 4,374 displays reserved for transit agency use. Our number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements, the net effect of new and lost billboards, and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period.

Our revenues and profits may fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits may also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During 2022, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, retail and health/medical, which represented 20%, 11%, and 10% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During 2021, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, health/medical and retail, which represented 19%, 10% and 10% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues.

Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. In 2022, we generated approximately 44% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns, compared to approximately 42% in 2021.

Our transit businesses require us to periodically obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain or renew contracts.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.

Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“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.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a significant acquisition and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”). We provide organic revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of non-organic revenue items. Our management believes organic revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since organic revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Organic revenues, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit and other revenues are recognized over the contract period. (See Item 8., Note 11. Revenues to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a significant acquisition and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”).

Total revenues increased $308.2 million, or 21%, and organic revenues increased $300.6 million, or 21%, in 2022 compared to 2021.

In 2022, non-organic revenues reflect the impact of a significant acquisition. In 2021, non-organic revenues reflect the impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Total billboard revenues increased $202.4 million, or 17%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services, and the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including acquisitions.

Organic billboard revenues increased $194.3 million, or 16%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services and the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period, including insignificant acquisitions.

Total transit and other revenues increased $105.8 million, or 38%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield), as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services primarily due to an increase in transit ridership, partially offset by the loss of a transit franchise contract.

Organic transit and other revenues in 2022 increased $106.3 million, or 38%, compared to 2021, primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services primarily due to an increase in transit ridership, partially offset by the loss of a transit franchise contract.

Transit ridership remains materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in our largest transit markets and while we expect ridership and revenue to continue to grow, we do not expect to reach pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in 2023.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are composed of the following:

Billboard property lease expenses. These expenses reflect the cost of leasing the real property on which our billboards are mounted. These lease agreements have terms varying between one month and multiple years, and usually provide renewal options. Rental expenses are comprised of a fixed rental amount and under certain agreements, also include contingent rent, which varies based on the revenues we generate from the leased site. The fixed portion of property leases are generally paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months and expensed evenly over the contract term. Contingent rent is generally paid in arrears and is expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized.

Transit franchise expenses. These expenses reflect costs charged by municipalities and transit operators under transit advertising contracts. All of these contracts have fixed terms, are typically terminable for convenience at the option of the governmental entity (other than with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”)), and generally provide for payments to the governmental entity based on a percentage of the revenues generated under the contract and/or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. The costs that are determined based on a percentage of revenues are expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment is expensed over the contract term.

Posting, maintenance and other site-related expenses. These expenses primarily reflect costs associated with posting and rotation, materials, repairs and maintenance, utilities and property taxes.

Total operating expenses$911.4$784.016

Billboard property lease expenses represented 33% of billboard revenues in 2022 and 34% in 2021. Billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of billboard revenues in 2022 were slightly lower than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of revenues in 2022 compared to 2021 is primarily due to an increase in billboard revenues and the fixed nature of certain billboard property lease expenses (see Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Transit franchise expenses represented 67% of transit display revenues in 2022 and 73% in 2021. The decrease in transit franchise expense, as a percentage of revenues, is primarily driven by an increase in transit revenue, while the MTA was paid guaranteed minimum annual payments in both 2022 and 2021. We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to decline in 2023, but remain above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as a result of our expectation that revenues generated under the MTA agreement will be closer to a guaranteed minimum annual payment break-even level in 2023 than in 2022.

42

Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses increased by $102.0 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to higher billboard and transit revenues, and higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA.

Posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were 12% in 2022 and 13% in 2021. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $25.4 million, or 13%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to higher posting and rotation costs, higher maintenance and utilities cost, driven by economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation-driven cost increases in 2022, higher compensation-related expenses and increased activity resulting in higher production and materials cost.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses represented 24% of Revenues in 2022 and 25% in 2021. SG&A expenses increased $53.9 million, or 15%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including commissions and salaries, driven by both business performance improvements during the period and the impact of COVID-19 on 2021, a higher provision for doubtful accounts, increased post-COVID-19 pandemic travel resulting in higher travel and entertainment expenses, and higher professional fees, partially offset by the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees.

Net (Gain) Loss on Dispositions

Net loss on dispositions was $0.2 million in 2022 compared a Net gain on dispositions of $4.5 million in 2021.

Impairment Charge

In 2021, we recorded $2.5 million in impairment charges related to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value of a cost-method investment.

Depreciation

Depreciation decreased $2.0 million, or 3%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to an increase in fully-depreciated assets, partially offset by new capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Amortization

Amortization increased $7.3 million, or 11%, in 2022 compared to 2021, principally driven by higher amortization of leasehold interest intangibles recorded related to asset acquisitions completed during 2021 and 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net, was $131.8 million (including $6.5 million of deferred financing costs) in 2022 and $130.4 million (including $7.1 million of deferred financing costs) in 2021. The increase in Interest expense, net, in 2022 compared to 2021, was primarily due to higher interest rates, partially offset by the impact of interest rate swaps in 2021 and a lower average debt balance.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2021, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6.3 million relating to the redemption of our 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 in the first quarter of 2021.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $9.4 million in 2022 compared to a Benefit for income taxes of $3.4 million in 2021, due primarily to the recording of a valuation allowance against our U.S. taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) deferred tax assets and increased profitability in Canada in 2022. The effective income tax rate was 6.0% for 2022 and 10.8% for 2021.

43

Net Income

Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests increased $112.7 million in 2022 compared to 2021, due primarily to higher operating income, as we have experienced increases in customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services, and a loss on extinguishment of debt in 2021.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted OIBDA

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and an impairment charge. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

FFO and AFFO

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and non-controlling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes restructuring charges and losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, a gain on disposition of non-real estate assets, an impairment charge on non-real estate assets, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our non-controlling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., and revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in 2022 of $311.3 million increased $106.2 million, or 52%, compared to 2021, due primarily to higher operating income, partially offset by the impact of straight-line rent.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 19. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We currently manage our operations through two operating segments—U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, and International. International does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, is included in Other. Our segment reporting therefore includes U.S. Media and Other.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a significant acquisition (“non-organic revenues”).

Total U.S. Media segment revenues increased $291.9 million, or 21%, in 2022 compared to 2021, due primarily to stronger transit revenues and higher billboard revenues. While transit revenues have increased, transit revenues remain below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as overall ridership remains materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We generated approximately 44% in 2022 and 42% in 2021 of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns.

In 2022, non-organic revenues reflect the impact of a significant acquisition.

Billboard revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $192.7 million, or 17%, in 2022 compared to 2021, reflecting an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services and the impact of new and lost billboards in the period, including acquisitions.

Organic billboard revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $181.7 million, or 16%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services and the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period, including insignificant acquisitions.

Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $99.2 million, or 37%, in 2022 compared to 2021, driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services primarily due to an increase in transit ridership, partially offset by the loss of a transit franchise contract.

Organic transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $99.2 million, or 37%, in 2022, compared to 2021, primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services primarily due to an increase in transit ridership, partially offset by the loss of a transit franchise contract.

47

Transit ridership remains materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in our largest transit markets and while we expect ridership and revenue to continue to grow, we do not expect to reach pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in 2023.

Billboard property lease expenses in the U.S. Media segment represented 33% of billboard revenues in 2022 and 34% in 2021, and transit franchise expenses represented 68% of transit display revenues in 2022 and 74% in 2021. We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to decline in 2023, but remain above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as a result of our expectation that revenues generated under the MTA agreement will be closer to a guaranteed minimum annual payment break-even level in 2023 than in 2022. Operating expenses in the U.S. Media segment increased $123.2 million, or 17%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily driven by higher transit franchise expenses and billboard lease costs associated with the increase in revenue, higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA, higher compensation-related expenses, higher posting and rotation costs, higher maintenance and utilities cost, driven by economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation-driven utility cost increases in 2022, and increased activity resulting in higher production and materials cost.

SG&A expenses in the U.S. Media segment increased $50.4 million, or 19%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily driven by higher compensation-related expenses, including commissions and salaries, driven by both business performance improvements during the period and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 2021, a higher provision for doubtful accounts, increased post-COVID-19 pandemic travel resulting in higher travel and entertainment expenses, and higher professional fees, partially offset by the impact of market fluctuations on an equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees.

U.S. Media segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $118.3 million, or 31%, in 2022 compared to 2021. Adjusted OIBDA margin was 30% in 2022 and 28% in 2021. The increase in Adjusted OIBDA margins was due primarily to a higher increase in revenues compared to the increase in operating expenses, due to the fixed nature of certain billboard property lease expenses and the MTA being paid guaranteed minimum annual payments in both 2022 and 2021.

Organic Other revenues increased $19.7 million, or 25%, in 2022, compared to 2021, driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services.

Other operating expenses increased $4.2 million, or 8%, in 2022 compared to 2021, driven by higher expenses in Canada. Other SG&A expenses increased $1.9 million, or 9%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily driven by higher expenses in Canada.

Other Adjusted OIBDA increased $10.2 million, or 98%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield).

Corporate

Corporate expenses primarily include expenses associated with employees who provide centralized services. Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, were $49.4 million in 2022 and $53.0 million in 2021. Corporate expenses decreased $3.6 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to the impact of market fluctuations on an unfunded equity-linked retirement plan offered by the Company to certain employees, partially offset by higher compensation-related expenses, including salaries, and higher professional fees.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire new businesses, assets or digital technology. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions could be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment deployment costs. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

Although we have taken several actions to date to preserve our financial flexibility and increase our liquidity, our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability may be adversely affected by the current heightened levels of inflation and related economic environment if cash on hand and operating cash flows decrease in 2023, and our ability to issue debt and equity securities and/or borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. (See the “Overview” section of this MD&A.)

Working capital was a deficit of $161.2 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to working capital of $269.6 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily driven by lower cash due to acquisitions (see Item 8., Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Acquisitions to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Under the MTA agreement, which was amended in June 2020 and July 2021 (as amended, the “MTA Agreement”):

•Deployments. We must deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA. We are also obligated to deploy certain additional digital advertising screens and MTA communications displays in subway and train stations and rolling stock that the MTA may build or acquire in the future (collectively, the “New Inventory”).

•Recoupment of Equipment Deployment Costs. We may retain incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount for the cost of deploying advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system. As presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which are deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, will be paid directly by the MTA. For any deployment costs deemed authorized after December 31, 2020, the MTA and the Company will no longer be obligated to directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, and these costs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in 2022 and we do not expect to recoup any equipment deployment costs in 2023. For 2023, we expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $100.0 million and between 2023 and 2024, an aggregate of approximately $140.0 million.

•Payments. We must pay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Our payment obligations with respect to guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA resumed on January 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the MTA Agreement, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. The MTA Agreement also provides that if prior to April 1, 2028 the balance of unrecovered costs of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system is equal to or less than zero, then in any year following the year in which such recoupment occurs (the “Recoupment Year”), the MTA is entitled to receive an additional payment equal to 2.5% of the annual base revenue amount for such year calculated in accordance with the MTA Agreement, provided that gross revenues in such year (i) were at least equal to the gross revenues generated in the Recoupment Year, and (ii) did not decline by more than 5% from the prior year.

•Term. In July 2021, we extended the initial 10-year term of the MTA Agreement to a 13-year initial term. We have the option to extend this initial 13-year term for an additional five-year period at the end of the 13-year initial term, subject to satisfying certain quantitative and qualitative conditions.

We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund equipment deployment costs over the next couple of years. However, given the current heightened levels of inflation and related economic environment, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of December 31, 2022, we have issued surety bonds in favor of the MTA totaling approximately $136.0 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to decline in 2023 but remain above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. As indicated in the table below, we incurred $88.9 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in 2022 (which includes equipment deployment costs related to future deployments), for a total of $535.9 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date and as of December 31, 2022, $49.1 million has been funded by the MTA. As of December 31, 2022, 14,153 digital displays had been installed, composed of 4,835 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, 5,022 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock and 4,296 MTA communications displays. In the fourth quarter of 2022, 496 installations occurred, for a total of 3,061 installations occurring in 2022.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2026 (the “Term Loan”) was 6.1% per annum as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, a discount of $1.4 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revolving Credit Facility

We also have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” together with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1.6 million in 2022, $1.8 million in 2021 and $1.4 million in 2020. As of December 31, 2022, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $6.4 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2022, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $75.8 million under our aggregate $81.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities in 2022, 2021 and 2020 were immaterial.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities

As of December 31, 2022, we have a $150.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which terminates in May 2025, unless further extended.

On June 1, 2022, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”) entered into an amendment to the agreements governing the AR Facility, pursuant to which the Company (i) increased the borrowing capacity under the AR Facility from $125.0 million to $150.0 million; (ii) extended the term of the AR Facility so that it now terminates on May 30, 2025, unless further extended; and (iii) increased the delinquency and termination ratios under the AR Facility for the tenure of the agreements to provide additional flexibility to the Company. The amendment to the agreements governing the AR Facility do not change how we account for the AR Facility as a collateralized financing activity.

In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s TRSs (the “Originators”), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the “QRS SPV”) or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s TRS accounts receivable assets (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV, the “SPVs”). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs’ assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs’ assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.

As of December 31, 2022, there were $30.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility, at a borrowing rate of 5.4%. As of December 31, 2022, borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility was $120.0 million based on approximately $332.2 million of accounts receivable that could be used as collateral for the AR Facility in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was $0.3 million in 2022, and immaterial in each of 2021 and 2020.

53

Debt Covenants

Our credit agreement, dated as of January 31, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Facility, and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Outfront Media Capital LLC’s capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2022, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 5.0 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Facility) require that we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2022, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.1 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2022, we had deferred $24.6 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior unsecured notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior unsecured notes.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We had an interest rate cash flow swap agreement to effectively convert a portion of our LIBOR-based variable rate debt to a fixed rate and hedge our interest rate risk related to such variable rate debt, which matured in June 2022. The fair value of this swap position was a net liability of approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2021, and is included in Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Equity

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. In 2022, no shares of our common stock were sold under the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

54

Series A Preferred Stock Issuance

On April 20, 2020, we issued 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend and distribution rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears, subject to increases as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, effective as of April 20, 2020 (the “Articles”). Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until April 20, 2028, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not, without the consent of a specified percentage of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-month period. If any dividends or distributions in respect of the shares of our common stock are paid in cash, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in the dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend for such quarter, which amounts will reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and a share cap as set forth in the Articles. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Articles (including a change of control), each of the Company and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may convert or redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at the prices set forth in the Articles, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows in 2022 and 2021.

Net decrease to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$(384.4)$(287.2)34

*Calculation is not meaningful.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $155.3 million, or 157%, in 2022 compared to 2021, due primarily to higher net income in 2022 compared to 2021 due to increases in overall demand for our services and improved cash collections, partially offset by the timing of payments and an increase in prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. In 2022, we paid net cash of $79.8 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs and installed 3,061 digital displays. In 2021, we paid $52.4 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs and installed 3,712 digital displays.

Cash used for investing activities increased $225.5 million, or 101%, in 2022 compared to 2021, due primarily to higher cash paid for acquisitions, primarily related to an acquisition in the second quarter of 2022 (see Item 8., Note 13. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Acquisitions to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and higher cash paid for capital expenses, partially offset by lower cash paid for MTA franchise rights.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in 2022 and 2021.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20222021Change
Growth$64.3$48.533%
Maintenance25.525.31
Total capital expenditures$89.8$73.822

Capital expenditures increased $16.0 million, or 22%, in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to growth in digital displays, increased maintenance spending for billboard display and safety upgrades, and office remodel projects, partially offset by lower spending on software and technology, and vehicles.

For the full year of 2023, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $90.0 million, which will be used primarily for growth in digital displays, software and technology, the renovation of certain office facilities, safety-related projects and maintenance. This estimate does not include equipment deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA agreement (as described above), which will be recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as applicable.

Cash used by financing activities increased $25.8 million, or 16%, in 2022 compared to 2021. In 2022, we drew $30.0 million of borrowings on the AR Facility and paid total cash dividends of $205.8 million on our common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees. In 2021, we made a repayment of $80.0 million under a 364-day structured repurchase facility, which was not extended, and paid total cash dividends of $57.5 million on the Series A Preferred Stock, our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees.

Cash paid for income taxes was $3.3 million in 2022 and $1.7 million in 2021. The increase was due primarily to improved results in Canada.

Contractual Obligations

We have agreements with municipalities and transit operators which entitle us to operate advertising displays within their transit systems, including on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, transit shelters, street kiosks, and transit platforms. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchisor is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenues, net of agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment. Guaranteed minimum annual payments are generally paid monthly. (See Item 8., Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Total future minimum payments for rental payments under operating leases for billboard sites, office space and equipment of $2,215.1 million include $2,104.3 million for our billboard sites. (See Item 8., Note 5. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of December 31, 2022, we had long-term debt of approximately $2.7 billion. Interest on the Term Loan is variable. For illustrative purposes, we are assuming an interest rate of 6.1% for all years, which reflects the interest rate as of December 31, 2022. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in the interest rate will change the annual interest expense by $1.5 million. (See Item 8., Note 8. Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In 2023, we do not expect to contribute to our defined benefit pension plans. Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans were $0.2 million in 2021. (See Item 8., Note 15. Retirement Benefits to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of guaranteed minimum annual payments. (See Item 8., Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

56

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical as they are significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

MTA Agreement

Under the MTA agreement, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, with such deployment amounts being subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA. In addition, we are entitled to generate revenue through the sale of advertising on transit advertising displays and incur transit franchise expenses, which are calculated based on contractually stipulated percentages of revenue generated under the contract, subject to a minimum guarantee.

Title of the various digital displays transfers to the MTA on installation, therefore the cost of deploying these screens throughout the transit system does not represent our property and equipment. The portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to operating expenses as advertising revenue is generated. The short-term portion of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs represents the costs that we expect to recover from the MTA in the next twelve months. The portion of deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from advertising revenues that would otherwise be retained by us under the contract are recorded as Intangible assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the contract period. We assess the recoverability of the MTA contract on an as-needed basis and apply significant judgment in assessing factors to determine if there is an indication that the revenues expected to be generated over the term of the agreement will be sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the deployment schedule. Additionally, we assess these factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results.

If we do not generate sufficient advertising revenues from the MTA contract, there is a risk that the related Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets may not be recoverable. Management assesses the prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. This assessment requires evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to determine if there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgment in assessing these factors, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the initial deployment schedule.

Additionally, management assesses quantitative factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results. In 2022, we updated our projections and did not identify a triggering event for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Actual results may differ from our assumptions. We currently expect to recoup all equipment deployment costs spent to date and projected to be spent by the end of the base term of our agreement with the MTA. If projected incremental revenues generated over the term of the MTA agreement are not achieved to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could result in impairment charges and/or future deployment costs being expensed as incurred.

Goodwill

We test goodwill qualitatively and/or quantitatively at the reporting-unit level annually for impairment as of October 31 of each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value

57

below its carrying amount. A qualitative test assesses macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity specific events, as well as events affecting a reporting unit. If after the qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative assessment. We may also choose to only perform a quantitative assessment. We compute the estimated fair value of each reporting unit for which we perform a quantitative assessment by using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our discounted cash flow value is calculated by adding the present value of the estimated annual cash flows over a discrete projection period to the terminal value, which represents the value of the projected cash flows beyond the discrete projection period. Our discounted cash flow model requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, contract renewals and extensions, and discount rates. The estimated growth rates, operating margins and capital expenditures for the projection period are based on our internal forecasts of future performance as well as historical trends. The terminal value is estimated based on a perpetual nominal growth rate, which is based on projected long-range inflation and long-term industry projections. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we performed a qualitative assessment on our U.S. Billboard and Canadian reporting units as the estimated fair value of those reporting units substantially exceeded carrying value and there were no factors indicating that it was more likely than not that those reporting units were impaired. We performed a quantitative assessment on our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit, for which the fair value exceeded carrying value by approximately 28%. As of December 31, 2022, goodwill associated with our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit was $47.6 million.

In our discounted cash flow model assumptions and estimates, revenue in our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit after growing by 37% in 2022 is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate in the high teens through 2026 before leveling off to a normalized growth rate in the mid-single digits over the remaining forecast period, driven by continued recovery of the transit market as ridership climbs toward pre-COVID-19 levels and expected revenue generation from our significant digital deployment in the MTA and other transit systems. We are also assuming that we will be able to renew significant transit franchise agreements. Regarding the MTA agreement, we are assuming that the five-year extension to the base term will be exercised by us. However, we are not assuming any extension or renewal beyond that time. We utilized a discount rate of 11%.

We performed a sensitivity analysis to determine how our assumptions impact the goodwill impairment assessment. Our plan to grow revenues is highly dependent on the recovery of transit ridership to pre-COVID-19 levels and the success of our digital deployment strategy. Failure of transit ridership to recover and/or our inability to fully execute on our digital deployment strategy could result in impairment charges. In addition, the loss of significant transit franchise agreements or our inability to qualify for the five-year extension to the MTA agreement could result in impairment charges. Holding all other assumptions constant, a change in the discount rate of 1% would result in a change in value of $50.6 million.

While our current projections supported no impairment of goodwill in our U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2022, given the sensitivities around the assumptions used in the calculation of the U.S. Transit and Other reporting unit’s projected cash flows, it is possible that impairment charges could be incurred in the future.

There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our reporting units, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Long-Lived Assets

We report long-lived assets, including billboard advertising structures, other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We depreciate or amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. For billboard advertising structures, we estimate the useful lives based on the estimated economic life of the asset. Transit fixed assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related contractual term. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of acquired permits and leasehold agreements and franchise agreements, which grant us the right to operate out-of-home advertising structures in specified locations and the right to provide advertising displays on railroad and municipal transit properties. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is the respective life of the agreement and in some cases includes an estimation for renewals, which is based on historical experience.

58

Long-lived assets subject to depreciation and amortization are also reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the long-lived asset might be impaired, by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets to the carrying values of those assets. The significant assumptions we use to determine the useful lives and fair values of long-lived assets include contractual commitments, regulatory requirements, future expected cash flows and industry growth rates, as well as future salvage values.

We test for long-lived asset impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the respective asset’s carrying value, excluding any impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement Financial Position in conformity with GAAP. The amount of impairment loss, if any, will be measured by the difference between the net carrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset and recognized as a non-cash charge. Long-lived assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying value (including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses) or fair value less cost to sell.

Overview

OUTFRONT Media is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. We currently manage our operations through two operating segments—U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, and International. International does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, is included in Other (see Item 8., Note 20. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

In the third quarter of 2020, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Sports Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our Sports Marketing operating segment, for a purchase price of approximately $34.6 million in cash, subject to closing and post-closing adjustments. The Sports Marketing operating segment was the marketing and multimedia rights holder for a variety of colleges, universities and other educational institutions across the U.S.. The operating results of our Sports Marketing operating segment through June 30, 2020, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements and are included in Other in our segment reporting.

Business

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. and Canada. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives, from national, brand-building campaigns to hyper-local campaigns that drive customers to the advertiser’s website or retail location “one mile down the road.”

In addition to providing location-based displays, we also focus on delivering mass and targeted audiences to our customers. Geopath, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, enables us to build campaigns based on the size and demographic composition of audiences. As part of our technology platform, we are developing solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go. Additionally, our OUTFRONT Mobile Network products allow our customers to further leverage location targeting with interactive mobile advertising.

We believe out-of-home continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are always viewable and cannot be turned off, skipped, blocked or fast-forwarded. Further, out-of-home advertising can be an effective “stand-alone” medium, as well as an integral part of a campaign to reach audiences using multiple forms of media, including television, radio, print, online, mobile and social media advertising platforms. We provide our customers with a differentiated advertising solution at an attractive price point relative to other forms of advertising. In addition to leasing displays, we provide other value-added services to our customers, such as pre-campaign category research, consumer insights, print production and post-campaign tracking and analytics.

U.S. Media. Our U.S. Media segment generated 17% of its revenues in the New York City metropolitan area in 2021 and 16% in 2020, and generated 15% in the Los Angeles metropolitan area in each of 2021 and 2020. Our U.S. Media segment generated Revenues of $1,382.0 million in 2021 and $1,148.9 million in 2020, and Operating income before Depreciation, Amortization, Net gain on dispositions, Stock-based compensation, Restructuring charges and an Impairment charge (“Adjusted OIBDA”) of $382.9 million in 2021 and $268.9 million in 2020. (See the “Segment Results of Operations” section of this MD&A.)

Other (includes International and through June 30, 2020, Sports Marketing). Other generated Revenues of $81.9 million in 2021 and $87.4 million in 2020, and Adjusted OIBDA of $10.4 million in 2021 and $0.4 million in 2020.

COVID-19 Impact

The ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the related preventative measures taken to help curb the spread, including shutdowns and slowdowns of, and restrictions on, businesses, public gatherings, social interactions and travel (including reductions in foot traffic, roadway traffic, commuting, transit ridership and overall target audiences) throughout the markets in which we do business have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on the global economy and our business. Though we remain able to continue to sell and service our displays, governmental restrictions have eased in most of our markets and most of our markets have commenced their economic recoveries, our billboard and transit businesses in many of the top DMAs, such as New York and Los Angeles, are still experiencing the significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic may, among other things, (i) reduce or curtail our customers’ advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services through purchase cancellations or otherwise; (ii) increase the volatility of our customers’ advertising expenditure patterns from period-to-period through short-notice purchases, purchase deferrals or otherwise; and (iii) delay the collection of certain earned advertising revenues from our customers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation in 2022.

As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, we expect our key performance indicators and total revenues to incrementally improve in 2022 as compared to 2021, but some key performance indicators will continue to be materially lower in 2022 than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We expect total revenues in 2022 to approach or potentially surpass pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels based on our current expectation of strong performance in total billboard revenues in our U.S. Media segment, which exceeded pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels during the second half of 2021. We expect total transit and other revenues in our U.S. Media segment to incrementally improve in 2022, but still remain materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We also expect Adjusted OIBDA to incrementally improve in 2022, driven by improvements in our transit and other business, but remain below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We expect total expenses to increase in 2022 as compared to 2021, and exceed pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. In particular, we expect billboard property lease expenses, such as rental expenses, and posting, maintenance and other expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to be consistent with pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We expect transit franchise expenses, such as transit franchise payments, as a percentage of revenues, to decrease in 2022 as compared to 2021, but be higher in 2022 than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, primarily due to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA and other transit franchise partners as total transit and other revenues incrementally improve in the future. In 2022, we will continue to focus on managing costs and expenses to offset any decreases in revenues in 2022 as compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, including engaging in constructive conversations with our transit franchise partners to mitigate any increases in transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of revenues. Results for the year ended December 31, 2021, are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees and customers by (i) utilizing a secure remote workforce as needed for personnel other than operations personnel who service our displays and certain other personnel, (ii) implementing deep cleaning, social distancing and other protective policies and practices in accordance with federal, state and local regulations and guidance across all offices and facilities, and (iii) communicating frequently with our employees and customers to address any concerns and updates to our policies. None of these actions have caused a significant disruption in our ability to manage the continuity of our business or our internal controls.

We continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. When the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, there can be no assurances as to the time it may take to generate total revenues, particularly in our U.S. Media segment and with respect to our transit and other business, at pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. There remains uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which will depend on numerous factors, including, among others, the emergence of new cases of COVID-19 and its variants, hospitalization and mortality rates, and the availability and distribution of safe and effective treatments and vaccines. Accordingly, the Company cannot reasonably

38

estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations at this time, which may be material.

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic as described above.

We rely on third parties to manufacture and transport our digital displays. As a result of the current market-wide supply shortages and logistics disruptions as the economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced delays and price increases in 2021 with respect to certain of our digital displays, which will continue in 2022, and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Business Environment

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of several companies operating on a national basis, as well as hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. We compete with these companies for both customers and structure and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional advertising platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, we compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, movie theaters, supermarkets and taxis.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our prime audience locations is an important element of our organic growth strategy, as digital displays have the potential to attract additional business from both new and existing customers. We believe digital displays are attractive to our customers because they allow for the development of richer and more visually engaging messages, provide our customers with the flexibility both to target audiences by time of day and to quickly launch new advertising campaigns, and eliminate or greatly reduce print production and installation costs. In addition, digital displays enable us to run multiple advertisements on each display. Digital billboard displays generate approximately four times more revenue per display on average than traditional static billboard displays. Digital billboard displays also incur, on average, approximately two to four times more costs, including higher variable costs associated with the increase in revenue than traditional static billboard displays. As a result, digital billboard displays generate higher profits and cash flows than traditional static billboard displays. The majority of our digital billboard displays were converted from traditional static billboard displays.

We have commenced deployment of state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises and are planning to increase deployments over the coming years. In the future, we expect revenues generated on digital transit displays will be a multiple of the revenues generated on comparable static transit displays. Subject to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we intend to incur significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures in the coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio.

We built or converted 77 new digital billboard displays in the U.S. and 10 in Canada in 2021. Additionally, in 2021, we entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 35 third-party digital billboard displays in the U.S. and 4 in Canada. In 2021, we built, converted or replaced 3,778 digital transit and other displays in the U.S. and 15 digital transit and other displays in Canada. The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.

Total$308.1$81.3$389.41,63812,73014,368

(a)Digital display amounts include 3,795 displays reserved for transit agency use. Our number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements, the net effect of new and lost billboards, and the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period.

Our revenues and profits may fluctuate due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets. Typically, our revenues and profits are highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as

39

advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. As described above, our revenues and profits may also fluctuate due to external events beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During 2021, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, health/medical and retail, which represented 18%, 10%, and 9% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During 2020, our largest categories of advertisers were entertainment, health/medical and retail, which represented 17%, 10% and 9% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues.

Our large-scale portfolio allows our customers to reach a national audience and also provides the flexibility to tailor campaigns to specific regions or markets. In 2021, we generated approximately 42% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns, compared to approximately 41% in 2020.

Our transit businesses require us to periodically obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain or renew contracts.

Key Performance Indicators

Our management reviews our performance by focusing on the indicators described below.

Several of our key performance indicators are not prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“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.

*Calculation is not meaningful.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a disposition and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”). We provide organic revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of non-organic revenue items. Our management believes organic revenues are useful to users of our financial data because it enables them to better understand the level of growth of our business period to period. Since organic revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Organic revenues, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(b)See the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Revenues” sections of this MD&A for reconciliations of Operating income to Adjusted OIBDA, Net income attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. to FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. and AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. and Revenues to organic revenues.

Adjusted OIBDA

We calculate Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and an impairment charge. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends

40

in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates.

FFO and AFFO

When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and non-controlling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes restructuring charges and losses on extinguishment of debt, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, a gain on disposition of non-real-estate assets, an impairment charge on non-real estate assets, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our non-controlling interests, as well as the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other REITs. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs.

Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., and revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in 2021 of $195.1 million increased $112.5 million, or 136%, compared to 2020, due primarily to higher operating income, higher amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and lower income taxes. AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in 2021 of $205.1 million increased $108.8 million, or 113%, compared to 2020, due primarily to higher operating income, higher amortization of, net of cash paid for, direct lease acquisition costs and lower gains on dispositions.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Revenues

We derive Revenues primarily from providing advertising space to customers on our advertising structures and sites. Our contracts with customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. Revenues from billboard displays are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Transit and other revenues are recognized over the contract period.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a disposition and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”).

Total revenues increased $227.6 million, or 18%, and organic revenues increased $249.4 million, or 21%, in 2021 compared to 2020, driven by a 21% increase in billboard revenues, as the billboard market exceeded pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in the second half of 2021, and a 9% increase in transit and other revenues, primarily due to stronger transit revenues. While transit revenues have increased, transit revenues remain materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as ridership remains materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.

In 2020, non-organic revenues exclude the impact of the Sports Disposition and reflect the impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Total billboard revenues increased $203.7 million, or 21%, in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020.

Organic billboard revenues in 2020 increased $200.4 million, or 20%, in 2021 compared to 2020, principally driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020.

Total transit and other revenues increased $23.9 million, or 9%, in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield), as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020, partially offset by the impact of the Sports Disposition.

Organic transit and other revenues in 2021 increased $49.0 million, or 21%, compared to 2020, primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield), as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are composed of the following:

Billboard property lease expenses. These expenses reflect the cost of leasing the real property on which our billboards are mounted. These lease agreements have terms varying between one month and multiple years, and usually provide renewal options. Rental expenses are comprised of a fixed rental amounts and under certain agreements, also include contingent rent, which varies based on the revenues we generate from the leased site. The fixed portion of property leases are generally paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months and expensed evenly over the contract term. Contingent rent is generally paid in arrears and is expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized.

Transit franchise expenses. These expenses reflect costs charged by municipalities and transit operators under transit advertising contracts. All of these contracts have fixed terms, are typically terminable for convenience at the option of the governmental entity (other than with respect to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”)), and generally provide for payments to the governmental entity based on a percentage of the revenues generated under the contract and/or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. The costs that are determined based on a percentage of revenues are expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment is expensed over the contract term.

Posting, maintenance and other site-related expenses. These expenses primarily reflect costs associated with posting and rotation, materials, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property taxes and, for periods prior to the Sports Disposition, direct costs associated with our Sports Marketing operating segment.

Total operating expenses$784.0$710.810

Billboard property lease expenses represented 34% of billboard revenues in 2021 and 40% in 2020. Billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of billboard revenues in 2021 were comparable to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses as a percentage of revenues in 2021 compared to 2020 is primarily due to an increase in billboard revenues and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

44

Transit franchise expenses represented 73% of transit display revenues in 2021 and 61% in 2020. The increase in transit franchise expense as a percentage of revenues is primarily driven by guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the second quarter of 2020, we amended agreements with substantially all of our transit franchise partners to pay based on a fixed percentage of revenue with no minimum annual guarantees. Substantially all of our franchise partners continued to be paid based on a fixed percentage of revenue throughout 2021, except for the MTA, for which minimum annual guarantee payments resumed at the beginning of 2021.

Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses increased by $71.7 million in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA and higher billboard and transit revenues.

Posting, maintenance and other expenses as a percentage of Revenues were 13% in 2021 and 16% in 2020. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $1.5 million, or 1%, in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to increased activity in 2021, resulting in higher compensation-related expenses, posting and rotation costs, maintenance costs and materials costs, as compared to the impact of cost-reduction measures taken in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases are partially offset by the impact of the Sports Disposition.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses represented 25% of Revenues in each of 2021 and 2020. SG&A expenses increased $53.1 million, or 17%, in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including commissions, salaries and bonuses which were all significantly impacted in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to the decline in business activity. Professional fees were also higher in 2021 and these increases were partially offset by a lower provision for doubtful allowances in 2021 due to provisions recorded in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Sports Disposition.

Restructuring Charges

In 2020, we recorded restructuring charges of $5.8 million for severance charges associated with workforce reductions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including $0.9 million for stock-based compensation.

Net Gain on Dispositions

Net gain on dispositions decreased $9.2 million, or 67%, in 2021 compared to 2020. The gain in 2020 was primarily related to a gain of $7.2 million related to the Sports Disposition and also included the sale of an office location in Canada.

Impairment Charge

In 2021, we recorded $2.5 million in impairment charges related to an other-than-temporary decline in fair value of a cost-method investment.

Depreciation

Depreciation decreased $5.1 million, or 6%, in 2021 compared to 2020.

Amortization

Amortization increased $4.7 million, or 8%, in 2021 compared to 2020, principally driven by higher amortization of intangible assets related to the MTA agreement.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net, was $130.4 million (including $7.1 million of deferred financing costs) in 2021 and $131.1 million (including $6.6 million of deferred financing costs) in 2020. The decrease in Interest expense, net, in 2021 compared to 2020, was primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by a higher outstanding average debt balance and higher amortization of deferred financing costs. (See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A.)

45

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2021, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6.3 million relating to the redemption of our 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes

The Benefit for income taxes was $3.4 million in 2021 compared to a Provision for income taxes of $1.1 million in 2020, due primarily to the gain related to the Sports Disposition in 2020. The effective income tax rate was 10.8% for 2021 and 1.9% for 2020.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income before allocation to non-controlling interests was $36.4 million in 2021 compared to a Net loss before allocation to non-controlling interests of $60.2 million in 2020, due primarily to higher operating income, as we have experienced increases in customer advertising expenditures and overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our reportable segments. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 20. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

We currently manage our operations through two operating segments—U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, and International. International does not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, is included in Other. Our segment reporting therefore includes U.S. Media and Other.

The following table presents our Revenues, Adjusted OIBDA and Operating income (loss) by segment in 2021 and 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, we completed the Sports Disposition. Historical operating results for our Sports Marketing operating segment through June 30, 2020, are included in Other.

Total revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $233.1 million, or 20%, in 2021 compared to 2020, driven by a 20% increase in billboard revenues, as the billboard market exceeded pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in the second half of 2021, and a 20% increase in transit and other revenues, primarily due to stronger transit revenues. While transit revenues have increased, transit revenues remain materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, as ridership remains materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We generated approximately 42% in 2021 and 41% in 2020 of revenues in the U.S. Media segment from national advertising campaigns.

Billboard revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $189.6 million, or 20%, in 2021 compared to 2020, reflecting an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020.

Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $43.5 million, or 20%, in 2021 compared to 2020, driven by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020.

Operating expenses in the U.S. Media segment increased $85.8 million, or 13%, in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily driven by higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA and higher revenues. Billboard property lease expenses in the U.S. Media segment represented 34% of billboard revenues in 2021 and 40% in 2020, and transit franchise expenses represented 74% of transit display revenues in 2021 and 62% in 2020.

SG&A expenses in the U.S. Media segment increased $33.3 million, or 14%, in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including commissions, salaries and bonuses which were all significantly impacted in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to the decline in business activity, partially offset by a lower provision for doubtful allowances in 2021 due to provisions recorded in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adjusted OIBDA in the U.S. Media segment increased $114.0 million, or 42%, in 2021 compared to 2020. Adjusted OIBDA margin was 28% in 2021 and 23% in 2020.

(a)Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with a disposition and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates (“non-organic revenues”).

In the third quarter of 2020, we completed the Sports Disposition. The operating results of our Sports Marketing operating segment through June 30, 2020, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total Other revenues decreased $5.5 million, or 6%, in 2021 compared to 2020, reflecting the Sports Disposition, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) as we have experienced increases in overall demand for our services from the COVID-19 pandemic lows in 2020.

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Due to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on advertising markets, our revenues and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable.

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, interest, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs and dividends. Funding for short-term cash needs will come primarily from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire new businesses, assets or digital technology. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions, which transactions could be funded through cash on hand, additional borrowings, equity or other securities, or some combination thereof.

Our long-term cash needs include principal payments on outstanding indebtedness and commitments related to operating leases and franchise and other agreements, including any related guaranteed minimum annual payments, and equipment deployment costs. Funding for long-term cash needs will come from our cash on hand, operating cash flows, our ability to issue debt and

50

equity securities, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or other credit facilities that we may establish, to the extent available.

Although we have taken several actions to date to preserve our financial flexibility and increase our liquidity, our short-term and long-term cash needs and related funding capability may be adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic if cash on hand and operating cash flows decrease in 2022, and our ability to issue debt and equity securities and/or borrow under our existing or new credit facilities on reasonable pricing terms, or at all, may become uncertain. (See the “Overview—COVID-19 Impact” section of this MD&A.)

The decrease in working capital as of December 31, 2021, compared to as of December 31, 2020 is primarily driven by lower cash and other current assets and higher short-term operating lease liabilities, partially offset by higher accounts receivables and lower short-term debt.

Under the MTA agreement, which was amended in June 2020 and July 2021 (as amended, the “MTA Agreement”):

•Deployments. We must deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA. We are also obligated to deploy certain additional digital advertising screens and MTA communications displays in subway and train stations and rolling stock that the MTA may build or acquire in the future (collectively, the “New Inventory”). After temporarily suspending deployment beginning in the first quarter of 2021, we have resumed deployment.

•Recoupment of Equipment Deployment Costs. We may retain incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount for the cost of deploying advertising and communications displays throughout the transit system. As presented in the table below, recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and as these costs are recouped from incremental revenues that the MTA would otherwise be entitled to receive, Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs will be reduced. If incremental revenues generated over the term of the agreement are not sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, the costs will not be recouped, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we do not recoup all costs of deploying advertising and communications screens with respect to the New Inventory by the end of the term of the MTA Agreement, the MTA will be obligated to reimburse us for these costs. Deployment costs in an amount not to exceed $50.7 million, which are deemed authorized before December 31, 2020, will be paid directly by the MTA. For any deployment costs deemed authorized after December 31, 2020, the MTA and the Company will no longer be obligated to directly pay 70% and 30% of the costs, respectively, and these costs will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the MTA Agreement. We did not recoup any equipment deployment costs in 2021 and it is unlikely we will recoup equipment deployment costs in 2022. For 2022, we expect our MTA equipment deployment costs to be approximately $150.0 million.

•Payments. We must pay to the MTA the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Our payment obligations with respect to guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA resumed on January 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the MTA Agreement, and any guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts that would have been paid for the period from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (less any revenue share amounts actually paid during this period using an increased revenue share percentage of 65%) will instead be added in equal increments to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed for the period from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. The MTA Agreement also provides that if prior to April 1, 2028 the balance of unrecovered costs of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system is equal to or less than zero, then in any year following the year in which such recoupment occurs (the “Recoupment Year”), the MTA is entitled to receive an additional payment equal to 2.5% of the annual base revenue amount for such year calculated in accordance with the MTA Agreement, provided that gross revenues in such year (i) were at least equal to the gross revenues generated in the Recoupment Year, and (ii) did not decline by more than 5% from the prior year.

•Term. In July 2021, we extended the initial 10-year term of the MTA Agreement to a 13-year initial term. We have the option to extend this initial 13-year term for an additional five-year period at the end of the 13-year initial term, subject to satisfying certain quantitative and qualitative conditions.

We may utilize cash on hand and/or incremental third-party financing to fund equipment deployment costs over the next couple of years. However, given the uncertainty in the market around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the aggregate financing amount, if any, at this time. As of December 31, 2021, we have issued surety bonds in favor of the MTA totaling approximately $136.0 million, which amount is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. We expect transit franchise expenses, as a percentage of revenues, to decrease in 2022

51

as compared to 2021, but be higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. (See the “Overview—COVID-19 Impact” section of this MD&A.) As indicated in the table below, we incurred $95.9 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs in 2021 (which includes equipment deployment costs related to future deployments), for a total of $447.0 million to date, of which $33.9 million had been recouped from incremental revenues to date and as of December 31, 2021, $45.4 million has been funded by the MTA. As of December 31, 2021, 11,092 digital displays had been installed, of which 1,912 installations occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021, for a total of 3,712 installations in 2021.

Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2026 (the “Term Loan”) was 1.9% per annum as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, a discount of $1.8 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

We also have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” together with the Term Loan, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1.8 million in 2021 and $1.4 million in 2020. As of December 31, 2021, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $4.1 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2021, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $72.7 million under our aggregate $81.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities in 2021 and 2020 were immaterial.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities

As of December 31, 2021, we have a revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which terminates in June 2022, unless further extended. Our 364-day uncommitted structured repurchase facility (the “Repurchase Facility”) expired on June 29, 2021, and we chose not to extend it.

In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC and Outfront Media Outernet Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) (the “Originators”), will sell and/or contribute their respective existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to either Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiary accounts receivable assets (the “QRS SPV”) or Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company relating to the Company’s TRS accounts receivable assets (the “TRS SPV” and together with the QRS SPV, the “SPVs”). The SPVs may transfer undivided interests in their respective accounts receivable assets to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). The SPVs are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPVs’ assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPVs’ assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPVs may be remitted to the Company. Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPVs for a fee. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators and Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as servicer, of their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither the Company, the Originators nor the SPVs guarantee the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. Further, the TRS SPV and the QRS SPV are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility.

As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility. As of December 31, 2021, there was no borrowing capacity under the AR Facility due to a voluntary temporary suspension of the AR Facility in accordance with the agreements governing the AR Facility; however, as of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $332.4 million of accounts receivable that could be used as collateral for the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was immaterial in 2021 and 2020.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On January 19, 2021, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (“Finance LLC”) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (“Finance Corp” and, together with Finance LLC, the “Borrowers”) issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) in a private placement. The 2029 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities. Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2021. On or after January 15, 2024, the Borrowers may redeem at any time, or from time to time, some or all of the 2029 Notes. Prior to such date the Borrowers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, provided that at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes will remain outstanding after the redemption.

On February 16, 2021, we used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem all of our outstanding 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the 2024 Notes, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the 2029 Notes offering and the 2024 Notes redemption. In the first quarter of 2021, we recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $6.3 million relating to the 2024 Notes on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Debt Covenants

Our credit agreement, dated as of January 31, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the agreements governing the AR Facility, and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finance LLC’s capital stock or make other restricted payments other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers, and (iii) incur additional indebtedness. One of the exceptions to the restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness is satisfaction of a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2021, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 6.7 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

The terms of the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Facility) require that we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2021, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.1 to 1.0 in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2021, we had deferred $30.3 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior unsecured notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior unsecured notes.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We had several interest rate cash flow swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of our LIBOR-based variable rate debt to a fixed rate and hedge our interest rate risk related to such variable rate debt and as of December 31, 2021, only one interest rate cash flow swap agreement remains outstanding. The fair value of the swap positions was a net liability of approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2021, which is included in Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and $5.6 million as of December 31, 2020, which is included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

As of December 31, 2021, under the terms of the remaining agreement, we will pay interest based on an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million, under a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 1.8%, with a receive rate of one-month LIBOR and which matures on June 30, 2022. The one-month LIBOR rate was approximately 0.1% as of December 31, 2021.

Equity

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

We have a sales agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $300.0 million. We have no obligation to sell any of our common stock under the sales agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the sales agreement. In 2021, no shares of our common stock were sold under the ATM Program. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $232.5 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program.

Series A Preferred Stock Issuance

On April 20, 2020, we issued 400,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend and distribution rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears, subject to increases as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, effective as of April 20, 2020 (the “Articles”). Dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until April 20, 2028, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company may not, without the consent of a specified percentage of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status during such 12-month period. If any dividends or distributions in respect of the shares of our common stock are paid in cash, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in the dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend for such quarter, which amounts will reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and a share cap as set forth in the Articles. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Articles (including a change of control), each of the Company and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may convert or redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at the prices set forth in the Articles, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows in 2021 and 2020.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20212020Change
Cash provided by operating activities$98.8$130.6(24)%
Cash used for investing activities(224.0)(53.2)*
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities(162.2)573.0*
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash0.20.7(71)
Net increase (decrease) to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$(287.2)$651.1*

*Calculation is not meaningful.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $31.8 million, or 24%, in 2021 compared to 2020, due primarily to an increase in accounts receivables and prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses, a decrease in prepaid expenses and net income in 2021 compared to a net loss in 2020 due to increases in overall demand for our services. In 2021, we paid net cash of $52.4 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs and installed 3,712 digital displays. In 2020, we paid $61.1 million related to MTA equipment deployment costs and installed 2,803 digital displays.

55

Cash used for investing activities increased $170.8 million in 2021 compared to 2020, due primarily to higher cash paid for acquisitions and MTA franchise rights and lower proceeds from dispositions.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in 2021 and 2020.

Year Ended December 31,%
(in millions, except percentages)20212020Change
Growth$48.5$35.736%
Maintenance25.317.842
Total capital expenditures$73.8$53.538

Capital expenditures increased $20.3 million, or 38%, in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to growth in digital displays and increased spending on software and technology, partially offset by lower spending on vehicles, office remodel projects and the installation of the most current LED lighting technology.

For the full year of 2022, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $85.0 million, which will be used primarily for growth in digital displays, software and technology, the renovation of certain office facilities, safety-related projects and maintenance. This estimate does not include equipment deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA agreement (as described above), which will be recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as applicable.

Cash used by financing activities was $162.2 million in 2021 compared to Cash provided by financing activities of $573.0 million in 2020. In 2021, we made a repayment of $80.0 million under the Repurchase Facility and paid total cash dividends of $57.5 million on the Series A Preferred Stock, our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees. In 2020, we received net proceeds of $400.0 million related to the offering of our 6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025, received net proceeds of $383.4 million related to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to enhance our liquidity position in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, made net total repayments of $115.0 million on the AR Facility and the Repurchase Facility, and paid total cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and on our common stock of $75.1 million.

Cash paid for income taxes was $1.7 million in 2021 and $3.4 million in 2020. The decrease was due primarily to the taxable gain related to the Sports Disposition in 2020.

Contractual Obligations

We have agreements with municipalities and transit operators which entitle us to operate advertising displays within their transit systems, including on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, transit shelters, street kiosks, and transit platforms. Under most of these franchise agreements, the franchisor is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenues, net of agency fees, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment. Guaranteed minimum annual payments are generally paid monthly. (See Item 8, Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Total future minimum payments for rental payments under operating leases for billboard sites, office space and equipment of $2,036.7 million include $1,960.4 million for our billboard sites. (See Item 8, Note 6. Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of December 31, 2021, we had long-term debt of approximately $2.7 billion. Interest on the Term Loan is variable. For illustrative purposes, we are assuming an interest rate of 1.9% for all years, which reflects the interest rate as of December 31, 2021. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in the interest rate will change the annual interest expense by $1.4 million. (See Item 8, Note 9. Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In 2022, we expect to contribute $0.1 million to our defined benefit pension plans. Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans were $0.2 million in 2021 and $0.7 million in 2020. (See Item 8, Note 16. Retirement Benefits to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

56

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of guaranteed minimum annual payments. (See Item 8, Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our off-balance sheet commitments.)

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical as they are significant to our financial condition and results of operations, and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

MTA Agreement

Under the MTA agreement, we are obligated to deploy, over a number of years, (i) 5,433 digital advertising screens on subway and train platforms and entrances, (ii) 15,896 smaller-format digital advertising screens on rolling stock, and (iii) 9,283 MTA communications displays, with such deployment amounts being subject to modification as agreed-upon by us and the MTA. In addition, we are entitled to generate revenue through the sale of advertising on transit advertising displays and incur transit franchise expenses, which are calculated based on contractually stipulated percentages of revenue generated under the contract, subject to a minimum guarantee.

Title of the various digital displays transfers to the MTA on installation, therefore the cost of deploying these screens throughout the transit system does not represent our property and equipment. The portion of recoupable MTA equipment deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from transit franchise fees that would otherwise be payable to the MTA are recorded as Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to operating expenses as advertising revenue is generated. The short-term portion of Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs represents the costs that we expect to recover from the MTA in the next twelve months. The portion of deployment costs expected to be reimbursed from advertising revenues that would otherwise be retained by us under the contract are recorded as Intangible assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and charged to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the contract period. We assess the recoverability of the MTA contract on an as-needed basis and apply significant judgment in assessing factors to determine if there is an indication that the revenues expected to be generated over the term of the agreement will be sufficient to cover all or a portion of the equipment deployment costs, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions (such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic), industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the deployment schedule. Additionally, we assess these factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results.

If we do not generate sufficient advertising revenues from the MTA contract, there is a risk that the related Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs and Intangible assets may not be recoverable. Management assesses the prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs for recoverability on a quarterly basis. This assessment requires evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to determine if there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management applies significant judgment in assessing these factors, including evaluating macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and events specific to the Company, including monitoring the Company’s actual installation of digital displays against the initial deployment schedule. Additionally, management assesses quantitative factors by comparing revenue projections of the deployed digital displays to actual financial results. In 2021, we updated our projections and did not identify a triggering event for an impairment review of our Prepaid MTA equipment deployment costs. The assumptions and estimates included in our analysis require significant judgment about future events, market conditions and financial performance. Given the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken, or may be taken, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates, which may result in impairment charges in the future.

57

Goodwill

We test goodwill qualitatively and/or quantitatively at the reporting-unit level annually for impairment as of October 31 of each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. A qualitative test assesses macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity specific events, as well as events affecting a reporting unit. If after the qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative assessment. We may also choose to only perform a quantitative assessment. We compute the estimated fair value of each reporting unit for which we perform a quantitative assessment by using an income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our discounted cash flow value is calculated by adding the present value of the estimated annual cash flows over a discrete projection period to the terminal value, which represents the value of the projected cash flows beyond the discrete projection period. Our discounted cash flow model requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as projected revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, billboard lease and transit franchise expenses, other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, contract renewals and extensions, and discount rates. The estimated growth rates, operating margins and capital expenditures for the projection period are based on our internal forecasts of future performance as well as historical trends. The terminal value is estimated based on a perpetual nominal growth rate, which is based on projected long-range inflation and long-term industry projections. The discount rates represent the weighted average cost of capital derived using known and estimated market metrics. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future, and a downward revision of these estimates and/or assumptions would decrease the fair values of our reporting units, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we performed a qualitative assessment of two of our reporting units and a quantitative assessment of our other reporting unit for possible goodwill impairment. No impairment was identified for any of our reporting units. Based on our most recent impairment analysis, the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by 20% or more.

Long-Lived Assets

We report long-lived assets, including billboard advertising structures, other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We depreciate or amortize these assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. For billboard advertising structures, we estimate the useful lives based on the estimated economic life of the asset. Transit fixed assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related contractual term. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets primarily consist of acquired permits and leasehold agreements and franchise agreements, which grant us the right to operate out-of-home advertising structures in specified locations and the right to provide advertising displays on railroad and municipal transit properties. Our long-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is the respective life of the agreement and in some cases includes an estimation for renewals, which is based on historical experience.

Long-lived assets subject to depreciation and amortization are also reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the long-lived asset might be impaired, by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets to the carrying values of those assets. The significant assumptions we use to determine the useful lives and fair values of long-lived assets include contractual commitments, regulatory requirements, future expected cash flows and industry growth rates, as well as future salvage values.

We test for long-lived asset impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the respective asset’s carrying value, excluding any impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement Financial Position in conformity with GAAP. The amount of impairment loss, if any, will be measured by the difference between the net carrying value and the estimated fair value of the asset and recognized as a non-cash charge. Long-lived assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying value (including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses) or fair value less cost to sell.

Accounting Standards
