Discussion and Results
“As our release demonstrates, we delivered outstanding Q4 results which, in turn, contributed to our best annual financial showing in over 15 years,” commented Raúl Alarcón, Chairman and CEO. “All business units including radio, television, experiential and interactive exhibited sustained increases with our core radio operation ranked among the leaders in the industry in ratings, revenue, SOI and margin growth.”
“In addition, fiscal 2020 started off exceptionally well and, as a result, we’re confident of a strong rebound later in the year as our industry, our nation and the world eventually recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. For now, we are adapting operationally, financially and strategically at all levels and in all markets during this interim period so as to protect our personnel while continuing to inform, entertain and serve audiences and advertisers in anticipation of a surging demand for ad inventory and rescheduled live events as the year progresses.”
“In the meantime, we’re adopting an old motto that has served American businesses extremely well since the beginning of the 19th century: ‘We’re Open for Business.’ “
Quarter Ended Results
For the quarter-ended December 31, 2019, consolidated net revenue totaled $46.1 million compared to $39.6 million for the same prior year period, resulting in an increase of 16%. Our radio segment net revenue increased 15% due to increases in local, special events, network, and digital which were partially offset by a decrease in national sales. Our television segment net revenue increased 31%, due to the increase in local sales which were partially offset by decreases in national sales. Consolidated net revenue excluding political, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $45.8 million compared to $36.9 million for the same prior year period, resulting in an increase of 24%.
Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $20.1 million compared to $17.4 million for the same prior year period, representing an increase of $2.7 million or 16%. Our radio segment Adjusted OIBDA increased 17%, primarily due to the increase in net revenue of approximately $5.2 million partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $2.2 million. Radio station operating expenses increased mainly due to increases in special events expenses, professional fees, compensation, and music license fees expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease advertising expenses. Our television segment Adjusted OIBDA increased approximately $0.6 million, due to increase in net revenue of approximately $1.3 million partially offset an increase in operating expenses of approximately $0.7 million. Television station operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in production costs, barter expense and taxes and license fees. Our corporate expenses, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, increased $0.9 million or 36%, mostly due to increases in compensation, insurance and professional fees. Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA excluding political, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $19.8 million compared to $14.9 million for the same prior year period, representing an increase of 33%.
Operating income totaled $17.3 million compared to $14.3 million for the same prior year period, representing an increase of approximately $3.0 million or 21%. This increase in operating income was primarily due to the increase in net revenue partially offset by the increase in operating expenses.
Year Ended Results
For the year-ended December 31, 2019, consolidated net revenue totaled $156.7 million compared to $142.4 million for the same prior year period, resulting in an increase of 10%. Our radio segment net revenue increased $14.0 million or 11% due to increases in local, network, and digital sales which were offset by a decrease in national sales. Our special events revenue increased primarily in our Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco markets. Our television segment net revenue increased $0.3 million or 2%, due to increases in local sales offset by a decrease in special event and subscriber based revenue. Consolidated net revenue excluding political, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $156.0 million compared to $137.5 million for the same prior year period, resulting in an increase of 13%.
Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $51.3 million compared to $50.1 million for the same prior year period, resulting in an increase of $1.2 million or 2%. Our radio segment Adjusted OIBDA increased 7%, primarily due to the increase in net revenue of $14.0 million which was partially offset by the increase in operating expense of approximately $9.9 million. Radio station operating expenses increased mainly due to the absence of a prior year positive impact of legal settlements in addition to increases in special events, compensation and benefits, barter, commissions and music license fees, which were partially offset by decreases in professional fees, affiliate station compensation and an increase in production tax credits. Our television segment Adjusted OIBDA decreased $1.6 million or 33%, due to the increase in operating expenses of $1.9 million and partially offset by an increase in net revenue of $0.3 million. Television station operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in production costs, barter, and commission expenses which were partially offset by a decrease in special events expenses and an increase in production tax credits. Our corporate expenses, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, increased approximately 12% primarily due to increases in compensation and insurance expenses partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA excluding political, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $50.7 million compared to $45.6 million for the same prior year period, representing an increase of 11%.
Operating income totaled $38.6 million compared to $51.6 million for the same prior year period, representing a decrease of $13.0 million or 25%. This decrease in operating income was primarily due to the prior year recognition of gain on sale of assets and the current year increases in operating expenses, executive severance expenses and recapitalization costs partially offset by an increase in net revenue and not recognizing an impairment charge in the current period.
Our Continued Recapitalization and Restructuring Efforts
We have not repaid our outstanding Notes since they became due on April 17, 2017, and we continue to evaluate all options available to refinance the Notes. While we assess how to best achieve a successful refinancing of the Notes, we have continued to pay interest on the Notes, payments that a group of investors purporting to own our Series B preferred stock have challenged through the institution of litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery as described below. The complaint filed by these investors revealed a purported foreign ownership of our Series B preferred stock, which we are actively addressing, including before the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) in order to protect our broadcast licenses. Our refinancing efforts have been made more difficult and complex by the Series B preferred stock litigation and foreign ownership issue. On December 16, 2019, we announced in a press release that we had received a letter from a bank stating that it was highly confident of its ability to arrange secured debt financing for up to $300 million that, in combination with a possible additional first lien asset-based financing, would be used to repay our outstanding Notes and to make cash purchases of our Series B preferred stock. We cannot assure you that the bank will be successful in raising that financing, that we will be able to raise the additional contemplated first lien asset-based financing or that we will be able to reach agreement that will be acceptable to us. We provide more information about each of these items in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
We have worked and continue to work with our advisors regarding a consensual recapitalization or restructuring of our balance sheet, including through the issuance of new debt or equity to raise the necessary funds to repay the Notes. The Series B preferred stock litigation and the foreign ownership issue have complicated our efforts at a successful refinancing of the Notes. The resolution of the recapitalization or restructuring of our balance sheet, the litigation with the purported holders of our Series B preferred stock and the foreign ownership issue are subject to several factors currently beyond our control. Our efforts to effect a consensual refinancing of the Notes, the Series B preferred stock litigation and the foreign ownership issue will likely continue to have a material adverse effect on us if they are not successfully resolved. On December 16, 2019, we announced in a press release that we had received a letter from a bank stating that it was highly confident of its ability to arrange secured debt financing for up to $300 million that, in combination with a possible additional first lien asset-based financing, would be used to repay our outstanding Notes and to make cash purchases of our Series B preferred stock. We cannot assure you that the bank will be successful in raising that financing, that we will be able to raise the additional contemplated first lien asset-based financing or that we will be able to reach agreement that will be acceptable to us. We face various risks regarding these matters which are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net revenue excluding political and Adjusted OIBDA excluding political are not measures of revenue, performance or liquidity determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Political sales and their effect are subject to political cycles and timing of campaigns; both have been excluded to allow for comparability between the periods.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization, Gain (loss) on the Disposal of Assets, Recapitalization Costs, Executive Severance Expenses, Impairment Charges and Other Operating Income excluding non-cash stock-based compensation (“Adjusted OIBDA”) is not a measure of performance or liquidity determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. However, we believe that this measure is useful in evaluating our performance because it reflects a measure of performance for our stations before considering costs and expenses related to our capital structure and dispositions. This measure is widely used in the broadcast industry to evaluate a company’s operating performance and is used by us for internal budgeting purposes and to evaluate the performance of our stations, segments, management and consolidated operations. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Operating Income, Net Income, Cash Flows from Operating Activities or any other measure used in determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted OIBDA does not present station operating income as defined by our Indenture governing the Notes. In addition, because Adjusted OIBDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Included below are unaudited tables, in thousands, that reconcile Adjusted net revenue excluding political to net revenues for each segment and consolidated net revenue, and both Adjusted OIBDA excluding political and Adjusted OIBDA to operating income (loss) for each segment and consolidated operating income (loss), which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
