CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “likely,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “predicts,” “estimates,” “forecast” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters.

•	Declines in advertising and general economic conditions;


•	Competition;


•	Government regulation;


•	Our inability to increase the number of digital advertising displays in our portfolio;


•	Our ability to implement our digital display platform and deploy digital advertising displays to our transit franchise partners;

•	Our failure to remain qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);


•	REIT distribution requirements;


•	Availability of external sources of capital;


•	We may face other tax liabilities even if we remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT;


•	Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to liquidate investments or forgo otherwise attractive opportunities;


•	Our ability to contribute certain contracts to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”);


•	Our planned use of TRSs may cause us to fail to remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT;


•	REIT ownership limits;


•	Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively;


•	Failure to meet the REIT income tests as a result of receiving non-qualifying income;


•	Even if we remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT, and we sell assets, we could be subject to tax on any unrealized net built-in gains in the assets held before electing to be treated as a REIT;


•	The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may deem the gains from sales of our outdoor advertising assets to be subject to a 100% prohibited transaction tax;


•	Establishing operating partnerships as part of our REIT structure; and


•	U.S. federal tax reform legislation could affect us in ways that are difficult to anticipate.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance.

For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

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 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. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and 140 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites such as the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York. 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.”

Using Geopath, the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, we provide advertisers with the size and demographic composition of the audience that is exposed to individual displays or a complete campaign. As part of our ON Smart Media platform, we are developing hardware and software solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting, and engaging ways to connect with consumers on-the-go. Additionally, our OUTFRONT Mobile Network allows our customers to further leverage location targeting with interactive mobile advertising that uses geofence technology to push mobile ads to consumers within a pre-defined radius around a corresponding billboard display or other designated advertising location.

We believe out-of-home advertising continues to be an attractive form of advertising, as our displays are ALWAYS ON™, 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, creative design support, print production and post-campaign tracking and analytics, as well as use of a real-time mobile operations reporting system that facilitates proof of performance to customers for substantially all of our business.

We generally (i) own the physical billboard structures on which we display advertising copy for our customers, (ii) hold the legal permits to display advertising thereon and (iii) lease the underlying sites. These lease agreements have terms varying between one month and multiple years, and usually provide renewal options. We estimate that approximately 75% of our billboard structures in the United States are “legal nonconforming” billboards, meaning they were legally constructed under laws in effect at the time they were built, but could not be constructed under current laws. These structures are often located in areas where it is difficult or not permitted to build additional billboards under current laws, which enhances the value of our portfolio. We have a highly diversified portfolio of advertising sites. As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately 21,500 lease agreements with approximately 17,300 different landlords in the U.S. A substantial number of these lease agreements allow us to abate rent and/or terminate the lease agreement in certain circumstances, which may include where the structure is obstructed, where there is a change in traffic flow and/or where the advertising value of the sign structure is otherwise impaired, providing us with flexibility in renegotiating the terms of our leases with landlords in those circumstances.

We currently manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing. International and Sports Marketing do not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, are both included in Other (see Note 17. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Prior to April 1, 2016, our International segment included our advertising businesses in Canada and Latin America. On April 1, 2016, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America (see Note 11. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

U.S. Media. Our U.S. Media segment generated 23% of its revenues in the New York City metropolitan area in 2017, 25% in 2016 and 27% in 2015, and generated 16% in the Los Angeles metropolitan area in each of 2017 and 2016, and 15% in 2015. Our U.S. Media segment generated Revenues of $1,406.5 million in 2017, $1,393.8 million in 2016 and $1,344.3 million in 2015, and Operating income before Depreciation, Amortization, Net (gain) loss on dispositions, Stock-based compensation, Restructuring charges and Loss on real estate assets held for sale (“Adjusted OIBDA”) of $478.1 million in 2017, $473.8 million in 2016 and $451.1 million in 2015.

Other (includes International and Sports Marketing). Other generated Revenues of $114.0 million in 2017, $120.1 million in 2016 and $169.5 million in 2015, and Adjusted OIBDA of $8.4 million in 2017, $17.8 million in 2016, and $24.3 million in 2015.

For additional information regarding our revenues, profits and assets by segment and by geographic area, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

History

Our corporate history can be traced back to companies that helped to pioneer the growth of out-of-home advertising in the United States, such as Outdoor Systems, Inc., 3M National, Gannett Outdoor and TDI Worldwide Inc. In 1996, a predecessor of CBS Corporation (“CBS”) acquired TDI Worldwide Inc., which specialized in transit advertising. Three years later, a predecessor of CBS acquired Outdoor Systems, Inc., which represented the consolidation of the outdoor advertising assets of large national operators such as 3M National, Gannett Outdoor (and its Canadian assets held in the name Mediacom) and Vendor (a Mexican outdoor advertising company) and many local operators in the United States, Canada and Mexico. In 2008, CBS acquired International Outdoor Advertising Holdings Co., which operated outdoor advertising assets in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.

On April 2, 2014, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of its common stock under the name “CBS Outdoor Americas Inc.” On July 16, 2014, CBS completed a registered offer to exchange 97,000,000 shares of our common stock that were owned by CBS for outstanding shares of CBS Class B common stock (“the Exchange Offer”). In connection with the Exchange Offer, CBS disposed of all of its shares of our common stock and as of July 16, 2014, we were separated from CBS (the “Separation”) and were no longer a subsidiary of CBS. On July 16, 2014, in connection with the Separation, we ceased to be a member of the CBS consolidated tax group, and on July 17, 2014, we began operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

On October 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of certain outdoor advertising businesses of Van Wagner Communications, LLC, for a total purchase price of approximately $690.0 million in cash, plus working capital adjustments (the “Acquisition”).

On November 20, 2014, the Company changed its legal name to “OUTFRONT Media Inc.”, and its common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “OUT.”

Acquisition and Disposition Activity

We regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions.

On April 1, 2016, we completed the Disposition and received $82.0 million in cash plus working capital, which was subject to post-closing adjustments.

On June 13, 2017, certain subsidiaries of OUTFRONT Media Inc. acquired the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of All Vision LLC (“All Vision”), which hold substantially all of All Vision’s existing outdoor advertising assets in Canada, and effectuated an amalgamation of All Vision’s Canadian business with our Canadian business (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, we paid approximately $94.4 million for the assets, comprised of $50.0 million in cash and $44.4 million, or 1,953,407 shares, of Class A equity interests of a subsidiary of the Company that controls its Canadian business (“Outfront Canada”), subject to post-closing adjustments (upward or downward) for closing date working capital and indebtedness, and for the achievement of certain operating income before depreciation and amortization targets relating to the acquired assets in 2017 and 2018.

For additional information regarding our acquisition and disposition activity, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Tax Status

Our qualification to be taxed as a REIT is dependent on our ability to meet various complex requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), related to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of our assets and the diversity of ownership of our shares. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT.” As long as we remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on REIT taxable income that we distribute to stockholders. To maintain REIT status, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement and qualify for taxation as a REIT but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined with the above modifications, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed net taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax if the amount that we actually distribute to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.

We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders in an amount not less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid).

We believe we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code and that our manner of operation will enable us to continue to meet those requirements. If we fail to qualify to be taxed as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates and will be precluded from re-electing REIT status for the subsequent four taxable years. Despite our status as a REIT, we will be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income or property and the income of our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) will be subject to taxation at regular corporate rates.

Prior to the Separation, we were a member of CBS’s consolidated tax group and were taxable as a regular domestic C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i.e., we were subject to taxation at regular corporate rates). Pursuant to the tax matters agreement that we entered into with CBS, we are liable to pay CBS for any taxes imposed on or related to us while we were a member of the CBS consolidated tax group. In addition, CBS is liable to pay us for any reductions in taxes paid related to us while we were a member of the CBS consolidated tax group.

Growth Strategy

Continue Increasing the Number of Digital Displays in our Portfolio. Increasing the number of digital displays in our most heavily trafficked 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 production 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. In 2017, we commenced deployment of state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises and are planning to increase deployments significantly over the coming years. Once the digital transit displays have been deployed at scale, we expect that revenue generated on digital transit displays will be a multiple of the revenue 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. See “—Renovation, Improvement and Development.”

Drive Enhanced Revenue Management. We focus heavily on inventory management and advertising rate pricing to improve revenue yield over time across our portfolio of advertising structures and sites. By carefully managing our pricing on a market-by-market and display-by-display basis, we aim to improve profitability. We believe that closely monitoring pricing and improving pricing discipline will provide strong potential revenue enhancement. We also explore alternative uses of our billboard locations as they arise to drive site profitability, including wireless attachment placement opportunities on our leased and owned assets.

Mobile Technology and Social Media Engagement. We believe there is potential for growth in the reach, effectiveness and amplification of-out-home advertising through mobile technology and social media engagement. For example, the OUTFRONT Mobile Network creates opportunities for advertisers to reach their target audience by enabling them to bundle geofenced mobile advertising with an out-of-home advertising display campaign. Consumer dependence on mobile devices, especially while out-of-home, makes out-of-home advertising displays and mobile advertising a natural fit for advertiser brand messaging, allowing consumer mobile activities such as search, social and e-commerce to be primed by the out-of-home advertising display. Additionally, we are in the early stages of incorporating social influence as an add-on component of our out-of-home advertising display campaigns.

Consider Selected Acquisition Opportunities. As part of our growth strategy, we frequently evaluate strategic opportunities to acquire new businesses and assets. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions, ranging from small transactions to larger acquisitions. See “—Acquisition and Disposition Activity.” There can be no assurances that any transactions currently being evaluated will be consummated or, if consummated, that such transactions would prove beneficial to us. Further, our national footprint in the United States and significant presence in Canada provide us with an attractive platform on which to add additional advertising structures and sites. Our scale gives us advantages in driving additional revenues and reducing operating costs from acquired billboards. We believe that there is significant opportunity for additional industry consolidation, and we will evaluate opportunities to acquire additional advertising businesses and structures and sites on a case-by-case basis.

Continued Adoption & Refinement of Audience Measurement Systems; Utilization of Data/Analytics. We believe the continued adoption and refinement of the out-of-home advertising industry’s audience measurement system, Geopath, will enhance the value of the out-of-home medium by providing customers with improved audience measurement and the ability to target by gender, age, ethnicity and income. New refinements, including the impact of speed (i.e. how quickly a vehicle passes an individual billboard unit), and the inclusion of transit metrics, are making the measurement system more robust. Additionally, as part of our ON Smart Media platform, we are developing hardware and software solutions for enhanced demographic and location targeting. By providing a consistent and standardized audience measurement metric, and overlaying increasingly available and reliable third-party data, we will be able to help advertisers target increasingly mobile audiences with effective media plans in the out-of-home environment for both static and digital displays.

(a)

Digital display amounts (1) include displays reserved for transit agency use and (2) exclude: (i) all displays under our multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions; (ii) 1,650 MetroCard vending machine digital screens in 2017 and 1,601 in 2016; and (iii) in-train advertising displays of 317 in each of 2017 and 2016, and 1,039 in 2015 which are scheduled to be taken out of service permanently. 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.

Most of our non-maintenance capital expenditures are directed towards new revenue-generating projects, such as the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital, the building of new digital displays and the enhancement of our billboard structures to enable us to charge premium rates. In 2017, we commenced deployment of state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises and are planning to increase deployments significantly over the coming years. We intend to incur significant equipment deployment costs and capital expenditures in coming years to continue increasing the number of digital displays in our portfolio. See “—Growth Strategy.”

We have built or converted 65 digital billboard displays in the United States and 21 in Canada in 2017, compared to 65 digital billboard displays in the United States and 11 in Canada in 2016, and 100 digital billboard displays in the United States, 23 in Canada and 2 in Latin America in 2015. Additionally, in 2017, we entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 36 digital billboard displays in the U.S. and 26 in Canada. In 2017, we have built, converted or replaced 238 digital transit and other displays in the United States. Our total number of digital displays is impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, management agreements and the net effect of new and lost billboards and the net effect of won and lost franchises. As of December 31, 2017, our average initial investment required for a digital billboard display is approximately $240,000.

In 2016, we initiated a multi-year project to improve the quality of the illumination of our static billboard displays and to reduce our utility costs through the use of the most current LED lighting technology. As of December 31, 2017, we completed 26 out of 45 markets planned for conversion to the most current LED lighting technology.

We routinely invest capital in the maintenance and repair of our billboard and transit structures. This includes safety initiatives and replaced displays, as well as new billboard components such as panels, sections, catwalks, lighting and ladders. Our maintenance capital expenditures were $19.9 million in 2017, $18.5 million in 2016 and $25.6 million in 2015.

In the opinion of management, our outdoor advertising sites and structures are adequately covered by insurance.

Contract Expirations

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 and are generally billed every four weeks. Since contract terms are short-term in nature, revenues by year of contract expiration are not considered meaningful.

Our transit businesses require us to 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. On December 8, 2017, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a definitive transit advertising and communications concession agreement for subway, commuter rail and buses with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”), effective as of November 1, 2017. The agreement is for a 10-year term, with an additional 5-year extension at our option, during which time we will be the exclusive seller of advertising on the MTA subway, commuter rail and buses. For further information about our agreement with the MTA, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 13, 2017.

For information about the property lease contracts relating to our advertising structures and sites, see “Item 2. Properties.”

Competition

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of a few companies operating on a national basis, including our company, Clear Channel Outdoor, Lamar, JCDecaux and Intersection, 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 (such as Facebook, Alphabet and Amazon) 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. Advertisers compare relative costs of available media, including average cost per thousand impressions or “CPMs”, particularly when delivering a message to customers with distinct demographic characteristics. In competing with other media, the outdoor advertising industry relies on its relative cost efficiency and its ability to reach specific markets, geographic areas and/or demographics.

Seasonality

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 cut back on spending following the holiday shopping season. We expect this trend to continue in the future.

Employees

As of December 31, 2017, we had 2,192 employees, of which 766 were sales personnel in the U.S. and 70 were Canadian sales personnel. As of December 31, 2017, 2,159 of our employees were full-time employees and 33 were part-time employees. Some of these employees are represented by labor unions and are subject to collective bargaining agreements.

Regulation

In the United States, the federal Highway Beautification Act of 1965 (the “HBA”) establishes a framework for the regulation of outdoor advertising on primary and interstate highways built with federal financial assistance. As a condition to federal highway assistance, the HBA requires states to restrict billboards on such highways to commercial and industrial areas, and imposes certain size, spacing and other requirements associated with the installation and operation of billboards. The HBA also requires the development of state standards, promotes the expeditious removal of illegal signs and requires just compensation for takings, on affected roadways. These state restrictions and standards, or their local and municipal counterparts, may be

modified over time in response to legal challenges or otherwise, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Municipal and county governments generally also have sign controls as part of their zoning laws and building codes, and many have adopted standards more restrictive than the federal requirements. Some state and local government regulations prohibit construction of new billboards and some allow new construction only to replace existing structures. Other state and local laws and regulations in the United States and Canada prohibit the relocation or modification of existing billboards, limit the ability to rebuild, replace, repair, maintain and upgrade “legal nonconforming” structures (billboards which conformed with applicable zoning regulations when built but which no longer conform to current zoning regulations), and impose restrictions on the construction, repair, maintenance, lighting, operation, upgrading, height, size, spacing and location of outdoor structures, and the use of new technologies such as digital signs. In addition, from time to time, third parties or local governments commence proceedings in which they assert that we own or operate structures that are not properly permitted or otherwise in strict compliance with applicable law.

Governmental regulation of advertising displays also limits our installation of additional advertising displays, restricts advertising displays to governmentally controlled sites or permits the installation of advertising displays in a manner that benefits our competitors disproportionately, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although state and local government authorities from time to time use the power of eminent domain to remove billboards, U.S. law requires payment of compensation if a state or political subdivision compels the removal of a lawful billboard along a primary or interstate highway that was built with federal financial assistance. Additionally, many states require similar compensation (or relocation) with regard to compelled removals of lawful billboards in other locations, although the methodology used to determine such compensation varies by jurisdiction. Some local governments have attempted to force removal of billboards after a period of years under a concept called amortization. Under this concept the governmental body asserts that just compensation has been earned by continued operation of the billboard over a period of time. In Canada, billboards may be expropriated for public purposes with compensation (or relocation) determined on a case-by-case basis. Thus far, we have generally been able to obtain satisfactory compensation for our billboards purchased or removed as a result of governmental action, although there is no assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future.

From time to time, legislation has been introduced in both the United States and Canada attempting to impose taxes on revenue from outdoor advertising or for the right to use outdoor advertising assets. Several jurisdictions have already imposed such taxes based on a percentage of our outdoor advertising revenue in that jurisdiction. In addition, some jurisdictions have taxed our personal property and leasehold interests in outdoor advertising locations using various other valuation methodologies. We expect the United States and Canada to continue to try to impose such taxes as a way of increasing their revenue. In recent years, outdoor advertising also has become the subject of other targeted taxes and fees.

These laws may affect prevailing competitive conditions in our markets in a variety of ways. Such laws may reduce our expansion opportunities or may increase or reduce competitive pressure from other members of the outdoor advertising industry. No assurance can be given that existing or future laws or regulations, and the enforcement thereof, will not materially and adversely affect the outdoor advertising industry. However, we contest laws and regulations that we believe unlawfully restrict our constitutional or other legal rights and may adversely impact the growth of our outdoor advertising business.

A number of federal, state and local governments in the United States and Canada have implemented taxes (including taxes on revenues from outdoor advertising or for the right to use outdoor advertising assets), fees and registration requirements in an effort to decrease or restrict the number of outdoor advertising structures and sites or raise revenues, or both.

Restrictions on outdoor advertising of certain products, services and content are or may be imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as contracts with municipalities and transit franchise partners. For example, tobacco products have been effectively banned from outdoor advertising in all of the jurisdictions in which we currently do business.

We intend to expand the deployment of digital billboards that display static digital advertising copy from various advertisers that change up to several times per minute. We have encountered some existing regulations in the United States and Canada

that restrict or prohibit these types of digital displays. Furthermore, as digital advertising displays are introduced into the market on a large scale, existing regulations that currently do not apply to digital advertising displays by their terms could be revised to impose specific restrictions on digital advertising displays due to alleged concerns over, among other things, aesthetics or driver safety.

Policies with Respect to Certain Activities

The following is a discussion of certain of our investment, financing and other policies. We intend to conduct our business in a manner such that we are not treated as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition, we intend to conduct our business in a manner that is consistent with maintaining our qualification to be taxed as a REIT. These policies may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of our board of directors without a vote of our stockholders.

Investment Policies

Investment in Real Estate or Interests in Real Estate. Our investment objective is to maximize income. We intend to achieve this objective by developing our existing advertising structures and sites, including through the digital modernization of such advertising structures and sites, and by building and acquiring new advertising structures and sites. We currently intend to invest in advertising structures and sites located primarily in major metropolitan areas. Future development or investment activities will not be limited to any specific percentage of our assets or to any geographic area or type of advertising structure or site. While we may diversify in terms of location, size and market, we do not have any limit on the amount or percentage of our assets that may be invested in any one property or any one geographic area. In addition, we may purchase or lease properties for long-term investment, improve the properties we presently own or other acquired properties, or lease such properties, in whole or in part, when circumstances warrant.

We may enter into multi-year contracts with municipalities and transit operators for the exclusive right to display advertising copy on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars, buses, benches, trams, trains, transit shelters, street kiosks and transit platforms. We may also enter into marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In addition, we may participate with third parties in property ownership through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. We will not, however, enter into a joint venture or other partnership arrangement to make an investment that would not otherwise meet our investment policies.

Investments in acquired advertising structures and sites, directly or in connection with joint ventures, may be subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or to new indebtedness that may be incurred in connection with acquiring or refinancing these properties. We do not currently have any restrictions on the number or amount of mortgages that may be placed on any one advertising site or structure. Debt service on such financing or indebtedness will have a priority over any distributions with respect to our common stock.

Investments in Securities of or Interests in Persons Primarily Engaged in Real Estate Activities and Other Issuers. We have and may in the future invest in securities or interests of other issuers, including REITs and entities engaged in real estate activities, directly or in connection with joint ventures or other strategic transactions. However, because we must comply with various requirements under the Code in order to maintain our qualification to be taxed as a REIT, including restrictions on the types of assets we may hold, the sources of our income and accumulation of earnings and profits, our ability to engage in certain acquisitions, such as acquisitions of C corporations, may be limited. We have not and do not currently anticipate investing in securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control over such entities, acquiring any investments primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business, or holding any investments with a view to making short-term gains from their sale, but we may engage in these activities in the future.

Investments in Other Securities. We may in the future invest in additional securities such as bonds, preferred stock and common stock. We have no present intention to make any such investments, except for investments in cash equivalents in the ordinary course of business. Future investment activities in additional securities will not be limited to any specific percentage of our assets or to any specific type of securities or industry group.

Acquisitions and Dispositions. From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we have both acquired and disposed of advertising structures and sites in order to optimize our portfolio, and we intend to continue to do so in the future. See “—Acquisition and Disposition Activity” and “—Growth Strategy.”

Investments in Real Estate Mortgages. We have not invested in, nor do we have any present intention to invest in, real estate mortgages, although we are not prohibited from doing so.

Financing and Leverage Policy

We may, when appropriate, employ leverage and use debt as a means to refinance existing debt, to provide additional funds to distribute to stockholders, and/or for corporate purposes, including asset acquisitions. On January 31, 2014, our subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (“Finance LLC”) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (“Finance Corp.” and together with Finance LLC, the “Borrowers”) borrowed $800.0 million under a term loan due in 2021, and entered into a $425.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2019. On January 31, 2014, the Borrowers also issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022 and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 (together, the “Formation Notes”) in a private placement. In addition, on October 1, 2014, the Borrowers issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022 and $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 (together, the “Acquisition Notes”) in a private placement. On March 30, 2015, the Borrowers issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the “Add-on Notes” and, collectively, with the Formation Notes and the Acquisition Notes, the “Notes”) in a private placement. On March 16, 2017, the Company, along with the Borrowers, and other guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement and its related security agreement, each dated January 31, 2014 (together, and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) providing for, among other things, (i) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrowers’ existing revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) from January 31, 2019, to March 16, 2022, (ii) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrowers’ existing term loan (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”) from January 31, 2021, to March 16, 2024, (iii) an increase to the Revolving Credit Facility by $5.0 million to $430.0 million, and (iv) the incurrence of a $10.0 million incremental term loan primarily to cover transaction fees and expenses. In addition, on June 30, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a three-year $100.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”). We have, and from time to time we may, draw funds from the Revolving Credit Facility and/or the AR Facility for specific or general corporate purposes. For more information, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Other than as described above, we have not borrowed any money from third parties during the past three years.

The Company’s Charter (our “charter”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “bylaws”) do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness that we may incur, nor have we adopted any policies addressing this. The Credit Agreement, the agreements governing the AR Facility and the indentures governing the Notes contain, and any future debt agreements may contain, covenants that place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. Our board of directors may limit our debt incurrence to be more restrictive than our debt covenants allow and from time to time may modify these restrictions in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our properties, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, fluctuations in the market price of our common stock, growth and acquisition opportunities and other factors. If these restrictions are relaxed, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increased risk of default on our obligations and a related increase in debt service requirements. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Operations.”

Lending Policies

We do not intend to engage in significant lending activities, although we do not have a policy limiting our ability to make loans to third parties. We may consider offering purchase money financing in connection with the sale of properties. Other than loans to joint ventures in which we participate and loans to joint venture partners, subject to applicable laws, which we have made, and may continue to make, we have not made any loans to third parties.

Company Securities Policies

In the future, we may issue debt securities (including senior securities), offer common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities or options to purchase common stock in exchange for property, and/or repurchase or otherwise reacquire our common stock or other securities in the open market or otherwise. Except in connection with the IPO, the Exchange Offer, our earnings and profits purging distribution, the Notes and related exchanges of publicly registered Notes for privately issued Notes, equity private placements relating to a license and development agreement, the Transaction, the ATM Program (as defined in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources”) and stock-based employee compensation, in the past four years, we have not offered or issued debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities, options to purchase common stock or any other securities in exchange for property or

any other purpose. Our board of directors has the authority, without further stockholder approval, to amend our charter to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to authorize us to issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock, in one or more series, including senior securities, in any manner, and on the terms and for the consideration it deems appropriate, subject to applicable laws and regulations. We have not engaged in trading, underwriting or agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers and do not intend to do so.

We make available to our stockholders our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our audited financial statements, and other required periodic reports filed with the SEC. See “—Available Information.”

Conflict of Interest Policies

Policies Applicable to All Directors and Officers. The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all executive officers, employees and directors of the Company. In addition, the Company has adopted a Supplemental Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer and controller or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Conduct and Supplemental Code of Ethics are designed to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between our employees, officers and directors and us. However, there can be no assurance that these policies or provisions of law will always be successful in eliminating the influence of such conflicts.

Interested Director and Officer Transactions. Pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), a contract or other transaction between us and any of our directors or between us and any other corporation or other entity in which any of our directors is a director or has a material financial interest is not void or voidable solely on the grounds of such common directorship or interest, the presence of such director at the meeting of the board of directors or committee of the board of directors at which the contract or transaction is authorized, approved or ratified or the counting of the director’s vote in favor thereof, provided that: (1) the fact of the common directorship or interest is disclosed or known to our board of directors or a committee of our board, and our board or committee authorizes, approves or ratifies the transaction or contract by the affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested directors, even if the disinterested directors constitute less than a quorum; (2) the fact of the common directorship or interest is disclosed or known to our stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the transaction or contract is authorized, approved or ratified by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote other than the votes of shares owned of record or beneficially owned by the interested director or corporation, firm or other entity; or (3) the transaction or contract is fair and reasonable to us.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” before investing in the Company. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose all or a part of your investment. Certain statements in the following risk factors constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

Our business is sensitive to a decline in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control.

We derive our revenues from providing advertising space to customers on out-of-home advertising structures and sites. Our contracts with our customers generally cover periods ranging from four weeks to one year. A decline in the economic prospects of advertisers, the economy in general or the economy of any individual geographic market or industry, particularly a market or industry in which we conduct substantial business, such as the New York, Los Angeles and Miami metropolitan areas, and the retail, television and healthcare/pharmaceuticals industries, could alter current or prospective advertisers’ spending priorities. Disasters, acts of terrorism, political uncertainty, extraordinary weather events, hostilities and power outages could interrupt our ability to display advertising on our advertising structures and sites and lead to a reduction in economic certainty and advertising expenditures. Any reduction in advertising expenditures could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, advertising expenditures by companies in certain sectors of the economy represent a significant portion of our revenues. See “Item 1. Business—Our Portfolio of Outdoor Advertising Structures and Sites.” Any political, economic, social or technological change resulting in a reduction in these sectors’ advertising expenditures could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, advertising expenditure patterns may be impacted by any of these factors; for example, advertisers’ expenditures may be made with less advance notice and may become difficult to forecast from period to period.

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

The outdoor advertising industry is fragmented, consisting of a few companies operating on a national basis, such as our company, Clear Channel Outdoor, Lamar, JCDecaux and Intersection, 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 display locations. If our competitors offer advertising displays at rates below the rates we charge our customers, we could lose potential customers and could be pressured to reduce our rates below those currently charged to retain customers, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A majority of our display locations are leased, and a significant portion of those leases are month-to-month or have a short remaining term. If our competitors offer to lease display locations at rental rates higher than the rental rates we offer, we could lose display locations and could be pressured to increase rental rates above those we currently pay to site landlords, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms (such as Facebook, Alphabet and Amazon) and traditional 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. Advertisers compare relative costs of available media, including the average cost per thousand impressions or “CPM,” particularly when delivering a message to customers with distinct demographic characteristics. In competing with other media, the outdoor advertising industry relies on its relative cost efficiency and its ability to reach specific markets, geographic areas and/or demographics. If we are unable to compete on these terms, we could lose potential customers and could be pressured to reduce rates below those we currently charge to retain customers, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, as digital advertising technology continues to develop, our competitors may be able to offer products that are, or that are seen to be, substantially similar to or better than ours. This may force us to compete in different ways and incur additional costs and/or expend resources in order to remain competitive. If our competitors are more successful than we are in developing digital advertising products or in attracting and retaining customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Government regulation of outdoor advertising may restrict our outdoor advertising operations.

The outdoor advertising industry is subject to governmental regulation and enforcement at the federal, state and local levels in the United States and Canada. These regulations have a significant impact on the outdoor advertising industry and our business. See “Item 1. Business—Regulation.” Regulations and proceedings have made it increasingly difficult to develop new outdoor advertising structures and sites. If there are changes in laws and regulations affecting outdoor advertising at any level of government, if there is an increase in the enforcement of regulations or allegations of noncompliance or if we are unable to resolve allegations, our structures and sites could be subject to removal or modification. If we are unable to obtain acceptable arrangements or compensation in circumstances in which our structures and sites are subject to removal or modification, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, governmental regulation

of advertising displays could limit our installation of additional advertising displays, restrict advertising displays to governmentally controlled sites or permit the installation of advertising displays in a manner that benefits our competitors disproportionately, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our inability to increase the number of advertising displays in our portfolio could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to increase the number of digital advertising displays in our portfolio is subject to governmental laws and regulations. For example, in January 2013, Scenic America, Inc., a nonprofit membership organization, filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration alleging, among other things, that the Federal Highway Administration exceeded its authority when, in 2007, the Federal Highway Administration issued guidance to assist its division offices in evaluating state regulations that authorize the construction and operation of digital billboards. That case has reached a final, non-appealable decision, but if the Federal Highway Administration guidance is ever vacated as a result of a similar challenge or revised by the Federal Highway Administration, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any new governmental restrictions on digital advertising displays could limit our installation of additional digital advertising displays, restrict digital advertising displays to governmentally controlled sites or permit the installation of digital advertising displays in a manner that benefits our competitors disproportionately, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, as digital advertising displays are introduced into the market on a large scale, new or revised regulations could impose specific restrictions on the installation or use of such displays. See “Item 1. Business-Regulation.”

In addition, implementation of digital advertising displays by us or our competitors at a rate that exceeds the ability of the market to derive new revenues from those displays could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Implementing our digital display platform and the deployment of digital advertising displays to our transit franchise partners, may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits may not be fully realized.

The success of the digital display platform we are currently developing for our customers and the deployment of digital advertising displays to our transit franchise partners, such as the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, and the MTA, and the realization of any anticipated benefits, will depend, in part, on our ability to finalize and demonstrate the value-added capabilities of our digital display platform to our customers, and our ability to deliver and install digital displays to our transit franchise partners in satisfaction of our contractual obligations, including delivery and installation to scale and within complex transit infrastructures. If we fail to satisfy our contractual obligations and/or the digital display platform and/or the digital advertising displays that we provide to our customers and transit franchise partners do not meet their expectations or are found to be defective, or if we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits of these products due to reduced market demand for these products or digital advertising generally, then we may incur financial liability, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Implementing our digital display platform and deploying digital advertising displays to our transit franchise partners in satisfaction of our contractual obligations requires the Company to incur significant costs, which the Company may not be able to recover from its customer sales or transit franchise partners. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Any costs currently anticipated may significantly increase if we incur cost overruns due to technical difficulties, the increased costs of data, digital displays, materials and labor, delays in construction caused by us, our subcontractors and/or our transit franchise partners, insurance, bonding and litigation expenses or other factors beyond our control, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including cash flow timing and negative publicity. We currently expect to utilize third-party financing to fund these costs, which could subject the Company to additional costs, liabilities and risks. See —“Despite our substantial indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.”

Further, we rely on third parties to manufacture and transport digital displays, and if we are not able to engage third parties on reasonable pricing or other terms, due to the insufficient capacity of a particular manufacturer, market-wide supply shortages¸ logistics disruptions or otherwise, or if the third parties that we engage fail to meet their obligations to us, we may be unable to deploy digital advertising displays to our transit franchise partners in a timely manner or at all, and may fail to satisfy our contractual obligations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may incur material losses and costs as a result of product liability, warranty, and recall and intellectual property claims that may be brought against us.

We may be exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the event that our digital displays actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected, or the use of our digital displays results, or is alleged to result, in death, bodily injury, and/or property damage, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if any of our digital displays become subject to a recall, our customers may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of these digital displays under our contractual obligations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including negative publicity.

Further, we face the risk of claims that we have infringed third parties’ intellectual property rights with respect to our digital display platform and digital displays, which could be expensive and time consuming to defend, could require us to alter our digital display platform and/or digital displays, prevent us from selling advertising on our digital displays, and/or could require us to pay license, royalty or other fees to third parties in order to continue using our digital display platform and/or digital displays.

Taxes, fees and registration requirements may reduce our profits or expansion opportunities.

A number of federal, state and local governments in the United States and Canada have implemented or initiated taxes (including taxes on revenue from outdoor advertising or for the right to use outdoor advertising assets), fees and registration requirements in an effort to decrease or restrict the number of outdoor advertising structures and sites or raise revenue, or both. For example, a tax was imposed on the outdoor advertising industry in Toronto. These efforts may continue, and, if we are unable to pass on the cost of these items to our customers, the increased imposition of these measures could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The success of our transit advertising business is dependent on obtaining and renewing key municipal contracts on favorable terms.

Our transit businesses require us to obtain and renew contracts with municipalities and other governmental entities. All of these contracts have fixed terms and generally provide for payments to the governmental entity of a revenue share and/or a guaranteed minimum annual payment, and some may require us to incur capital expenditures. When these contracts expire, we generally must participate in highly competitive bidding processes in order to obtain a new contract. Our inability to successfully obtain or renew these contracts on favorable economic terms or at all could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Business Environment.” In addition, the loss of a key municipal contract in one location could adversely affect our ability to compete in other locations by reducing our scale and ability to offer customers multi-regional and national advertising campaigns. These factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Government compensation for the removal of lawful billboards could decrease.

Although federal, state and local government authorities from time to time use the power of eminent domain to remove billboards, U.S. law requires payment of compensation if a government authority compels the removal of a lawful billboard along a primary or interstate highway that was built with federal financial assistance. Additionally, many states require similar compensation (or relocation) with regard to compelled removals of lawful billboards in other locations, although the methodology used to determine such compensation varies by jurisdiction. Some local governments have attempted to force removal of billboards after a period of years under a concept called amortization. Under this concept, the governmental body asserts that just compensation has been earned by continued operation of the billboard over a period of time. Thus far, we have generally been able to obtain satisfactory compensation for our billboards purchased or removed as a result of governmental action, although there is no assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future, and, if it does not continue to be the case, there could be an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Content-based restrictions on outdoor advertising may further restrict the categories of customers that can advertise using our structures and sites.

Restrictions on outdoor advertising of certain products, services or other content are or may be imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as contracts with municipalities and transit franchise partners. For example, tobacco products have been effectively banned from outdoor advertising in all of the jurisdictions in which we currently do business. In addition, state and local governments in some cases limit outdoor advertising of alcohol, which represented 4% of our U.S. Media segment revenues in each of 2017 and 2016, and 3% in 2015. Further, certain municipalities and transit franchise partners limit issue-based outdoor advertising. Content-based restrictions could cause a reduction in our revenues from leasing advertising space on outdoor advertising displays that display such advertisements and a simultaneous increase in the available space on the existing inventory of displays in the outdoor advertising industry, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may limit or restrict some of our operations.

As the owner or operator of various real properties and facilities, we must comply with various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in the United States and Canada. We and our properties are subject to such laws and regulations related to the use, storage, disposal, emission and release of hazardous and nonhazardous substances and employee health and safety. Historically, with the exception of safety upgrades, we have not incurred significant expenditures to comply with these laws. However, additional laws that may be passed in the future, or a finding of a violation of or liability under existing laws, could require us to make significant expenditures and otherwise limit or restrict some of our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating results are subject to seasonal variations and other factors.

Our business has experienced and is expected to continue to experience seasonality due to, among other things, seasonal advertising patterns and seasonal 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 cut back on spending following the holiday shopping season. The effects of such seasonality make it difficult to estimate future operating results based on the previous results of any specific quarter, which may make it difficult to plan capital expenditures and expansion, could affect operating results and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisitions and other strategic transactions that we may pursue could have a negative effect on our results of operations.

We frequently evaluate strategic opportunities both within and outside our existing lines of business. We expect from time to time to pursue additional acquisitions of business and/or assets and other strategic transactions, including technology investments and/or the disposition of certain businesses and/or assets. These acquisitions or transactions could be material, and involve numerous risks, including:


•	acquisitions or other strategic transactions may prove unprofitable and fail to generate anticipated cash flows or gains;


•	integrating acquired businesses and/or assets may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits and costs savings of such acquisitions or transactions may not be fully realized, for example:


◦	we may need to recruit additional senior management, as we cannot be assured that senior management of acquired businesses and/or assets will continue to work for us, and we cannot be certain that our recruiting efforts will succeed;


◦	unforeseen difficulties could divert significant time, attention and effort from management that could otherwise be directed at developing existing business;


◦	we may encounter difficulties expanding corporate infrastructure to facilitate the integration of our operations and systems with those of acquired businesses and/or assets, which may cause us to lose the benefits of any expansion; and/or


◦	we may lose billboard leases, franchises or advertisers in connection with such acquisitions or transactions, which could disrupt our ongoing businesses;

•

we may not be aware of all of the risks associated with any acquired businesses and/or assets and certain of our assumptions with respect to these acquired businesses and/or assets may prove to be inaccurate, which could result in unexpected litigation or regulatory exposure, unfavorable accounting treatment, unexpected increases in taxes due, a loss of anticipated tax benefits or other adverse effects on our business, operating results or financial condition;


•	we may not be able to obtain financing necessary to fund potential acquisitions or strategic transactions;


•	we may face increased competition for acquisitions of businesses and assets from other outdoor advertising companies, some of which may have greater financial resources than we do, which may result in higher prices for those businesses and assets;


•	we may enter into markets and geographic areas where we have limited or no experience; and

•

because we must comply with various requirements under the Code in order to maintain our qualification to be taxed as a REIT, including restrictions on the types of assets we may hold, the sources of our income and accumulation of earnings and profits, our ability to engage in certain acquisitions or strategic transactions, such as acquisitions of C corporations, may be limited. See “—Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT—Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to liquidate investments or forgo otherwise attractive opportunities.”

Further, acquisitions and dispositions by us may require antitrust review by U.S. federal antitrust agencies and may require review by foreign antitrust agencies under the antitrust laws of foreign jurisdictions. We can give no assurances that the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or foreign antitrust agencies will not seek to bar us from the acquisition or disposition of additional advertising businesses in any market.

We are dependent on our management team, and the loss of senior executive officers or other key employees could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We believe our future success depends on the continued service and skills of our existing management team and other key employees with experience and business relationships within their respective roles, including landlord and customer relationships. The loss of one or more of these key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations because of their skills, knowledge of the market, years of industry experience and the difficulty of finding qualified replacement personnel. If any of these personnel were to leave and compete with us, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our board of directors has the power to cause us to issue additional shares of stock without stockholder approval.

Our charter authorizes us to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of common or preferred stock. In addition, our charter permits a majority of our entire board of directors to, without stockholder approval, amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. Our charter also permits our board of directors to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock and set the preferences, rights and other terms of the classified or reclassified shares. As a result, our board of directors will be able to establish a series of shares of common or preferred stock that could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for outstanding shares of stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Certain provisions of Maryland law may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us.

Certain provisions of the MGCL may have the effect of delaying or preventing a transaction or a change in control of us that might involve a premium price for shares of our stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders, including:

•

“business combination” provisions that, subject to certain exceptions, prohibit certain business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock or an affiliate or associate of a corporation who, at any time during the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding stock of the corporation) or an affiliate of such an interested stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes two super-majority stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and

•

“control share” provisions that provide that, subject to certain exceptions, holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation (defined as voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned or controlled by the acquirer, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in the election of directors within one of three increasing ranges) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of issued and outstanding “control shares,” subject to certain exceptions) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by its stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.

Additionally, under Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL, our board of directors is permitted, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain takeover defenses.

Our board of directors has by resolution exempted from the provisions of the Maryland Business Combination Act, as described above, all business combinations between us and any other person, provided that such business combination is first approved by our board of directors (including a majority of our directors who are not affiliates or associates of such person). In addition, our bylaws contain a provision opting out of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, as described above. Moreover, our charter provides that vacancies on our board may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, and that any directors elected by the board to fill vacancies will serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies. Our charter provides that, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, members of our board of directors may be removed only for cause (as defined in our charter), and then only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. Our bylaws provide that our board of directors has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and to make new bylaws. There can be no assurance that these exemptions or provisions will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.

Our charter contains a provision that eliminates the liability of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. In addition, our charter authorizes us, and our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:


•	any present or former director or officer who is made or threatened to be made a party to, or witness in, a proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity; and

•

any individual who, while a director or officer of our company and at our request, serves or has served as a director, officer, trustee or manager of another corporation, REIT, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to, or witness in, the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of ours in any of the capacities described above and to any employee of our company or a predecessor of our company.

The indemnification and payment or reimbursement of expenses provided by the indemnification provisions of our charter and bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of or limit in any way other rights to which any person seeking indemnification, or payment or reimbursement of expenses may be or may become entitled under any statute, bylaw, resolution, insurance, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

In addition, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things, for indemnification as provided in the agreement and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by law and our charter and bylaws against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees. The indemnification agreements provide for the advancement or payment of expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such advancement.

Accordingly, in the event that any of our directors or officers are exculpated from, or indemnified against, liability but whose actions impede our performance, we and our stockholders’ ability to recover damages from that director or officer will be limited.

We have substantial indebtedness that could adversely affect our financial condition.

As of December 31, 2017, we had total indebtedness of approximately $2.3 billion (consisting of the Term Loan, the Notes and the AR Facility with outstanding aggregate principal balances of $670.0 million, $1.5 billion and $80.0 million, respectively), and undrawn commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility of $430.0 million, excluding $88.6 million of letters of credit issued against the Revolving Credit Facility. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Our level of debt could have important consequences, including:


•	making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes and our other debt;


•	requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, and strategic business development efforts and other corporate purposes;


•	increasing our vulnerability to and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the business, the industries in which we operate, the economy and governmental regulations;


•	restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;


•	exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities and the AR Facility are expected to be subject to variable rates of interest;


•	placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and


•	limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.

The terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to incur debt that we may need to fund initiatives in response to changes in our business, the industries in which we operate, the economy and governmental regulations.

The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Notes contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries and limit our ability to engage in actions that may be in our long-term best interests, including restrictions on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:


•	incur additional indebtedness;


•	pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock (other than dividends or distributions necessary for us to maintain our REIT status, subject to certain conditions);


•	make investments or acquisitions;


•	sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets;


•	change our accounting methods;


•	create liens;


•	enter into sale/leaseback transactions;


•	enter into agreements restricting the ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers;


•	consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our or our subsidiaries’ assets;


•	enter into transactions with affiliates;


•	prepay certain kinds of indebtedness;


•	issue or sell stock of our subsidiaries; and


•	change the nature of our business.

The agreements governing the AR Facility also contain affirmative and negative covenants with respect to our wholly-owned SPV (as defined below) holding our accounts receivables.

In addition, the Credit Agreement (and under certain circumstances, the agreements governing the AR Facility) has a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio (as described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources”). Our ability to meet this financial covenant may be affected by events beyond our control.

As a result of all of these restrictions, we may be:


•	limited in how we conduct our business;


•	unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns; or


•	unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

These restrictions could hinder our ability to grow in accordance with our strategy or inhibit our ability to adhere to our intended distribution policy and, accordingly, may cause us to incur additional U.S. federal income tax liability beyond current expectations.

A breach of the covenants under the Credit Agreement or either of the indentures governing the Notes, as well as a breach of the covenants under the agreements governing the AR Facility, including the inability to repay any amounts due and payable, could result in an event of default or termination event under the applicable agreement. Such a default or termination event would allow the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Purchasers (as defined below) under the AR Facility and the holders of the Notes to accelerate the repayment of such debt and may result in the acceleration of the repayment of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In the event our creditors accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. An event of default or termination event under the Credit Agreement and the agreements governing the AR Facility would also permit the applicable lenders, Purchasers and any other secured creditors to proceed against the collateral that secures such indebtedness, and terminate all other commitments to extend additional credit to us. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Despite our substantial indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.

We and our subsidiaries may incur significant additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness. Although the indentures governing the Notes and the Credit Agreement contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and additional liens, these restrictions will be subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the Notes and/or our Senior Credit Facilities, subject to collateral arrangements, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with existing holders of our debt in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of our business. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to existing shareholders. These restrictions also will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities and the AR Facility are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same, and our net income and cash flows will correspondingly decrease. At our level of indebtedness, as of December 31, 2017, each 1/4% change in interest rates on our variable rate Term Loan and AR Facility would have resulted in a $1.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, change in annual estimated interest expense. Our aggregate annual estimated interest expense will increase if we make any borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. In the future, we may enter into interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments in order to reduce future interest rate volatility. However, we may not elect to maintain such interest rate swaps with respect to any of our variable rate indebtedness, and any swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk.

To service our indebtedness, we require a significant amount of cash and our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make cash payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate significant operating cash flow in the future. Our ability to generate such cash flow is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition, our ability to generate cash flow may be affected by our REIT compliance obligations and any consequences of failing to remain qualified as a REIT. See “—Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT.”

Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including the Notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we cannot service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, selling assets or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments. Such actions, if necessary, may not be effected on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our ability to refinance or restructure our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at the applicable time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. Further, the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Notes restrict our ability to undertake or use the proceeds from such measures.

Our cash available for distribution to stockholders may not be sufficient to make distributions at expected levels, and we may need to borrow in order to make such distributions or may not be able to make such distributions in full.

Distributions that we make will be authorized and determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor. While we anticipate maintaining relatively stable distribution(s) during each year, the amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will be declared based upon various factors, including, but not limited to: future taxable income, limitations contained in our debt instruments (such as restrictions on distributions in excess of the minimum amount required to maintain our status as a REIT and on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to the Company), debt service requirements, our results of operations, our financial condition, our operating cash inflows and outflows, including capital expenditures and acquisitions, limitations on our ability to use cash generated in the TRSs to fund distributions and applicable law. We may need to increase our borrowings in order to fund our intended distributions. See “Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Dividend Policy” and “—Despite our substantial indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.”

Hedging transactions could have a negative effect on our results of operations.

We may enter into hedging transactions, including without limitation, with respect to interest rate exposure and foreign currency exchange rates and on one or more of our assets or liabilities. The use of hedging transactions involves certain risks, including: (1) the possibility that the market will move in a manner or direction that would have resulted in a gain for us had a hedging transaction not been utilized, in which case our performance would have been better had we not engaged in the hedging transaction; (2) the risk of an imperfect correlation between the risk sought to be hedged and the hedging transaction used; (3) the potential illiquidity for the hedging instrument used, which may make it difficult for us to close out or unwind a hedging transaction; (4) the possibility that our counterparty fails to honor its obligations; and (5) the possibility that we may have to post collateral to enter into hedging transactions, which we may lose if we are unable to honor our obligations. In addition, as a REIT, we have limitations on our income sources, and the hedging strategies available to us will be more limited

than those available to companies that are not REITs. See “—Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT—Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.”

We face diverse risks in our Canadian business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Canadian business contributed approximately $73.2 million to total revenues in 2017, approximately $67.3 million to total revenues in 2016 and approximately $71.7 million to total revenues in 2015. Inherent risks in our Canadian business activities could decrease our Canadian sales and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risks include potentially unfavorable Canadian economic conditions, political conditions or national priorities, Canadian government regulation and changes in such regulation, violations of applicable anti-corruption laws or regulations, potential expropriation of assets by the Canadian government, the failure to bridge cultural differences and limited or prohibited access to our Canadian operations and the support they provide. We may also have difficulty repatriating profits or be adversely affected by exchange rate fluctuations in our Canadian business.

If our security measures are breached, our services may be perceived as not being secure, users and customers may curtail or stop using our services, and we may incur significant legal and financial exposure.

Although we have implemented physical and electronic security measures and crisis management procedures designed to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of our websites, digital assets and proprietary business information as well as consumer, business partner and advertiser personally identifiable information, no security measures are perfect and impenetrable and we may be unable to prevent unauthorized access. Further, because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access and degrade or disable systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. A security breach could occur due to the acts or omissions of third parties, employee error, malfeasance, system errors or vulnerabilities, or otherwise. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, we could lose competitively sensitive business information or suffer disruptions to our business operations. In addition, the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures or services could be harmed, we could lose business partners and advertisers, and we could suffer significant legal and financial exposure in connection with remediation efforts, investigations and legal proceedings and changes in our security and system protection measures.

Changes in regulations and consumer concerns regarding privacy, information security and data, or any failure or perceived failure to comply with these regulations or our internal policies, could negatively impact our business.

We collect and utilize demographic and other information from and about consumers, business partners, advertisers and website users. We are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations as well as industry standards and regulations regarding privacy, information security, data and consumer protection, among other things. Many of these laws and industry standards and regulations are still evolving and changes in the nature of the data that we purchase and/or collect, and the ways that data is permitted to be collected, stored, used and/or shared may negatively impact the way that we are able to conduct business. In addition, changes in consumer expectations and demands regarding privacy, information security and data may result in further restrictions on the nature of the data that we purchase and/or collect, and the ways we collect, use, disclose and derive economic value from data that we purchase and/or collect, and may limit our ability to offer targeted advertising opportunities to our business partners and advertisers. Although we monitor regulatory changes and have implemented internal policies and procedures designed to comply with all applicable laws, rules, industry standards and regulations, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable regulatory requirements or our internal policies related to privacy, information security, data and/or consumer protection could result in a loss of confidence, a loss of goodwill, damage to our brand, loss of business partners and advertisers, adverse regulatory proceedings and/or civil litigation, which could negatively impact our business.

We could suffer losses due to asset impairment charges for goodwill.

A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill. We test goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual tests if events or circumstances require an interim impairment assessment. A downward revision in the estimated fair value of a reporting unit could result in a non-cash impairment charge. Any such impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our reported net income. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT

If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular corporation and could face a substantial tax liability, which would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Qualification to be taxed as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which only limited judicial and administrative authorities exist. Even a technical or inadvertent failure to comply with these provisions could jeopardize our REIT qualification. Our ability to remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. In addition, our ability to satisfy the requirements to remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT may depend in part on the actions of third parties over which we have no control or only limited influence.

In addition, the rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are continually under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”). Although the IRS has issued a private letter ruling with respect to certain issues relevant to our ability to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge our qualification to be taxed as a REIT in the future. Changes to the tax laws or interpretations thereof, or the IRS’s position with respect to our private letter ruling, with or without retroactive application, could materially and negatively affect our ability to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

If we were to fail to remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, and dividends paid to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income. Any resulting corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to holders of our common stock, which in turn could have an adverse impact on the value of our common stock and may require us to incur indebtedness or liquidate certain investments in order to pay such tax liability. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we would also be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.

To maintain REIT status, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement and qualify for taxation as a REIT but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and including any net capital gains, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed net taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax if the amount that we actually distribute to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders in an amount not less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid).

From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our cash flow as a result of differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash or the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow funds on unfavorable terms, sell assets at disadvantageous prices or distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions to make distributions sufficient to enable us to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may impact our ability to grow, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

To fund our growth strategy and refinance our indebtedness, we may depend on external sources of capital, which may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

As a result of the REIT organizational and operational requirements described above, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financing, solely from operating cash flows. Consequently, we expect to rely on third-party capital market sources for debt or equity financing to fund our business strategy. In addition, we will likely need third-party capital market sources to refinance our indebtedness at maturity. Turbulence in the United States or international financial markets and economies could adversely impact our ability to replace or renew maturing liabilities on a timely basis or access the capital markets to meet liquidity and capital expenditure requirements and may result in adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As such, we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital also depends, in part, on:


•	the market’s perception of our growth potential;


•	our then-current levels of indebtedness;


•	our historical and expected future earnings, cash flows and cash distributions; and


•	the market price per share of our common stock.

In addition, our ability to access additional capital may be limited by the terms of our outstanding indebtedness, which may restrict our incurrence of additional debt. See “—Risks Related to Our Business and Operations—Despite our substantial indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.” If we cannot obtain capital when needed, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities arise or refinance our debt, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if we remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow.

Even if we remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income and state or local income, property and transfer taxes. For example, in order to meet the REIT qualification requirements, we may hold some of our assets or conduct certain of our activities through one or more TRSs or other subsidiary corporations that will be subject to foreign, federal, state and local corporate-level income taxes as regular C corporations. In addition, we may incur a 100% excise tax on transactions with a TRS if the transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distribution to holders of our common stock.

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to liquidate investments or forgo otherwise attractive opportunities.

To remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must ensure that, at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and “real estate assets” (as defined in the Code), including certain mortgage loans and securities. The remainder of our investments (other than government securities, qualified real estate assets and securities issued by a TRS) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our total assets (other than government securities, qualified real estate assets and securities issued by a TRS) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 20% of the value of our total assets can be represented by securities of one or more TRSs. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to holders of our common stock.

In addition to the assets tests set forth above, to remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our stock. We may be unable to pursue investments that would be otherwise advantageous to us in order to satisfy the source-of-income or asset-diversification requirements for qualifying to be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to make certain attractive investments.

Complying with REIT requirements may depend on our ability to contribute certain contracts to a taxable REIT subsidiary.

Our ability to satisfy certain REIT requirements may depend on us contributing to a TRS certain contracts, or portions of certain contracts, with respect to outdoor advertising assets that do not qualify as real property for purposes of the REIT asset tests. Moreover, our ability to satisfy the REIT requirements may depend on us properly allocating between us and our TRS the revenue or cost, as applicable, associated with the portion of any such contract contributed to the TRS. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not determine that such contribution was not a true contribution between us and our TRS or that we did not properly allocate the applicable revenues or costs. Were the IRS successful in such a challenge, it could adversely impact our ability to qualify to be taxed as a REIT or our effective tax rate and tax liability.

Our planned use of taxable REIT subsidiaries may cause us to fail to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

The net income of our TRSs is not required to be distributed to us, and income that is not distributed to us generally will not be subject to the REIT income distribution requirement. However, there may be limitations on our ability to accumulate earnings in our TRSs and the accumulation or reinvestment of significant earnings in our TRSs could result in adverse tax treatment. In particular, if the accumulation of cash in our TRSs causes the fair market value of our securities in our TRSs and certain other non-qualifying assets to exceed 20% of the fair market value of our assets, we would fail to remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The ownership limitations that apply to REITs, as prescribed by the Code and by our charter, may inhibit market activity in the shares of our common stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.

In order for us to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of our stock may be owned, beneficially or constructively, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code to include certain entities, at any time during the last half of each taxable year after the first year for which we elect to qualify to be taxed as a REIT. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year (other than the first taxable year for which we elect to be taxed as a REIT). Subject to certain exceptions, our charter authorizes our board of directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification to be taxed as a REIT. Our charter also provides that, unless exempted by the board of directors, no person may own more than 9.8% in value or in number, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock or 9.8% in value of the aggregate outstanding shares of all classes and series of our stock. A person that did not acquire more than 9.8% of our outstanding stock may nonetheless become subject to our charter restrictions in certain circumstances, including if repurchases by us cause a person’s holdings to exceed such limitations. The constructive ownership rules are complex and may cause shares of stock owned directly or constructively by a group of related individuals to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. These ownership limits could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control of our company that might involve a premium price for shares of our stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.

The REIT provisions of the Code substantially limit our ability to hedge our assets and liabilities. Any income from a hedging transaction that we enter into primarily to manage risk of interest rate changes or to manage risk of currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made or to acquire or carry real estate assets does not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests that apply to REITs, provided that certain identification requirements are met. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions or fail to properly identify such a transaction as a hedge, the income is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both of the gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may be required to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRS may be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates that we would otherwise choose to bear. In addition, losses in our TRS will generally not provide any tax benefit, except that such losses could theoretically be carried back or forward against past or future taxable income in the TRS.

If we fail to meet the REIT income tests as a result of receiving non-qualifying rental income, we would be required to pay a penalty tax in order to retain our REIT status.

Certain income we receive could be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of the REIT requirements. Even if we have reasonable cause for a failure to meet the REIT income tests as a result of receiving non-qualifying income, we would nonetheless be required to pay a penalty tax in order to retain our REIT status.

Even if we remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT, we could be subject to tax on any unrealized net built-in gains in the assets held before electing to be treated as a REIT.

Following our REIT election, we owned appreciated assets that were held by a C corporation and were acquired by us in a transaction in which the adjusted tax basis of the assets in our hands was determined by reference to the adjusted tax basis of the assets in the hands of the C corporation. If we dispose of any such appreciated assets in a taxable transaction during the 5-year period following our acquisition of the assets from the C corporation (i.e., during the 5-year period ending July 17, 2019), we will be subject to tax at the highest corporate tax rates on any gain from such assets to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the assets on the date that they were acquired by us (i.e., at the time that we became a REIT) over the adjusted tax basis of such assets on such date, which are referred to as built-in gains. We would be subject to this tax liability even if we maintain our status as a REIT. Any recognized built-in gain will retain its character as ordinary income or capital gain and will be taken into account in determining REIT taxable income and our distribution requirement for the year such gain is recognized. Any tax on the recognized built-in gain will reduce REIT taxable income. We may choose not to sell in a taxable transaction appreciated assets that we might otherwise sell during the 5-year period in which the built-in gain tax applies in order to avoid the built-in gain tax. However, there can be no assurances that such a taxable transaction will not occur. If we sell such assets in a taxable transaction, the amount of corporate tax that we will pay will vary depending on the actual amount of net built-in gain present in those assets as of the time we became a REIT. The amount of tax could be significant.

The IRS may deem the gains from sales of our outdoor advertising assets to be subject to a 100% prohibited transaction tax.

From time to time, we may sell outdoor advertising assets. The IRS may deem one or more sales of our outdoor advertising assets to be “prohibited transactions” (generally, sales or other dispositions of property that is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business). If the IRS takes the position that we have engaged in a “prohibited transaction,” the gain we recognize from such sale would be subject to a 100% tax. We do not intend to hold outdoor advertising assets as inventory or for sale in the ordinary course of business; however, whether property is held as inventory or “primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business” depends on the particular facts and circumstances and there is no assurance that our position will not be challenged by the IRS especially if we make frequent sales or sales of outdoor advertising assets in which we have short holding periods.

We may establish operating partnerships as part of our REIT structure, which could result in conflicts of interests between our stockholders and holders of our operating partnership units and could limit our liquidity or flexibility.

As part of our REIT structure, we have established a “DownREIT” operating partnership, and we may in the future establish an “UPREIT” and additional “DownREIT” operating partnerships, whereby we acquire certain assets by issuing units in an operating partnership (or a subsidiary) in exchange for an asset owner contributing such assets to the partnership (or subsidiary). If we enter into such transactions, in order to induce the contributors of such assets to accept units in our operating partnerships, rather than cash, in exchange for their assets, it may be necessary for us to provide them additional incentives. For instance, the operating partnership’s limited partnership or limited liability company agreement may provide that any unitholder of the operating partnership may be entitled to receive cash or equity distributions on its units, as well as exchange units for cash equal to the value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock or, at our option, for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. We may also enter into additional contractual arrangements with asset contributors under which we would agree to repurchase a contributor’s units for shares of our common stock or cash, at the option of the contributor, at set times.

In connection with these transactions, persons holding operating partnership units (or similar securities) may have the right to vote on certain amendments to the partnership agreements of such operating partnerships, as well as on certain other matters. Unitholders holding these voting rights may be able to exercise them in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. As the sole member of the general partner of the operating partnerships or as the managing member, we would have fiduciary duties to the unitholders of the operating partnerships that may conflict with duties that our officers and directors owe to the Company.

In addition, if a holder of operating partnership units (or similar securities) received cash distributions on its units and/or required us to repurchase the units for cash, it would limit our liquidity and thus our ability to use cash to make other investments, distributions to stockholders, debt service payments, or satisfy other obligations. Moreover, if we were required to repurchase units for cash at a time when we did not have sufficient cash to fund the repurchase, we might be required to sell one or more assets to raise funds to satisfy this obligation. Furthermore, we might agree that if distributions the holder of operating partnership units (or similar securities) received did not provide them with a defined return, then upon redemption of the units, we would pay the holder an additional amount necessary to achieve that return. Such a provision could further negatively impact our liquidity and flexibility. Finally, in order to allow a contributor of assets to defer taxable gain on the

contribution of assets to our operating partnerships, we might agree not to sell a contributed asset for a defined period of time or until the contributor exchanged its operating partnership units (or similar securities) for cash or shares. Such an agreement would prevent us from selling those properties, even if market conditions made such a sale favorable to us.

U.S. federal tax reform legislation could affect REITs, trading of our stock, the markets in which we operate, and our business, financial condition and results of operations, in ways that are difficult to anticipate.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Code, including corporate and individual tax rates and the calculation of taxes, as well as international tax rules. While the changes in the Tax Act generally appear to be favorable with respect to REITs, the extensive changes to non-REIT provisions in the Code may have unanticipated effects on REITs, the Company and/or our stockholders. Moreover, Congressional leaders have recognized that the process of adopting extensive tax legislation in a short amount of time is likely to have led to drafting errors, issues needing clarification and unintended consequences that will have to be reviewed in subsequent tax legislation. At this point, it is not clear when Congress will address these issues or when the IRS will issue guidance on the changes made in the Tax Act. In addition, it is unclear how the Tax Act will affect state and local taxation, which often uses federal taxable income as a starting point for computing state and local tax liabilities. State and local tax laws may change in response to the Tax Act, which could have a significant impact on individuals and businesses within these state and local jurisdictions.

As a REIT, we are generally not required to pay federal taxes otherwise applicable to C corporations if we comply with the various tax regulations governing REITs. Our stockholders, however, are generally required to pay taxes on REIT dividends and distributions. The Tax Act could impact our stock price or how our stockholders and potential investors view investing in REITs. For example, the decrease in corporate tax rates in the Tax Act could decrease the attractiveness of the REIT structure relative to companies that are not organized as REITs. In addition, while certain elements of the Tax Act do not impact us directly as a REIT, they could impact the geographic markets in which we operate as well as our landlords, transit franchise partners and customers in ways, both positive and negative, that are difficult to anticipate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Tax Act will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

Our principal executive offices, which we lease, are located at 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10174. We and our subsidiaries also own and lease office and warehouse space throughout the United States and Canada. We consider our properties adequate for our present needs, and adequately covered by insurance.

In the United States and Canada, we primarily lease our outdoor advertising sites, but, in a few cases, we own or hold permanent easements on our outdoor advertising sites. These lease agreements have terms varying between one month and multiple years, with an average term of nine years, and usually provide renewal options. Our lease agreements generally allow us to use the land for the construction, repair and relocation of outdoor advertising structures, including all rights necessary to access and maintain the site. Approximately 68% of our outdoor advertising site leases will expire or be subject to renewal in the next 5 years, 21% will expire or be subject to renewal in 6 to 10 years and 11% will expire or be subject to renewal in more than 10 years. There is no significant concentration of outdoor advertising sites under any one lease or with any one landlord. An important part of our business activity is to manage our lease portfolio and negotiate suitable lease renewals and extensions. For further information regarding our outdoor advertising sites and structures, see “Item 1. Business—Our Portfolio of Outdoor Advertising Structures and Sites” and “Item 1. Business—Renovation, Improvement and Development.”

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in lawsuits and governmental proceedings and respond to various investigations, inquiries, notices and claims from national, state and local governmental and other authorities (collectively, “litigation”). Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in our opinion, none of our current litigation is expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Dividend Policy

To maintain REIT status, we must annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement and qualify for taxation as a REIT but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined with the above modifications, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed net taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax if the amount that we actually distribute to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders in an amount not less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid). See “Item 1. Business—Tax Status.”

Distributions that we make will be authorized and determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion out of assets legally available therefor. While we anticipate maintaining relatively stable distribution(s) during each year, the amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be at the sole discretion of the board of directors, and distributions will be declared based upon various factors, including but not limited to: future taxable income, limitations contained in our debt instruments (such as restrictions on distributions in excess of the minimum amount required to maintain our status as a REIT and on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to the Company), debt service requirements, our results of operations, our financial condition, our operating cash inflows and outflows, including capital expenditures and acquisitions, limitations on our ability to use cash generated in the TRSs to fund distributions and applicable law. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We may need to increase our borrowings in order to fund our intended

distributions. We expect that our distributions may exceed our net income, due, in part, to noncash expenses included in net income (loss).

We anticipate that our distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our stockholders, although we may designate a portion of the distributions as qualified dividend income or capital gain dividends or a portion of the distributions may constitute a return of capital or be taxable as capital gain. We furnish annually to each of our stockholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income dividends, return of capital, qualified dividends, income or capital gain dividends or non-dividend distributions. Approximately 84.5% of the dividends we distributed in 2017 should be considered ordinary income by our stockholders for tax purposes, approximately 1.3% should be considered a capital gain, and approximately 14.2% should be considered a return of capital. The capital gain distribution is subject to certain recapture provisions for both individual and corporate shareholders.

On February 22, 2017, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share on our common stock, which was paid on March 31, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2017.

On April 25, 2017, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share on our common stock, which was paid on June 30, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 9, 2017.

On July 25, 2017, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per share on our common stock, which was paid on September 29, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2017.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

The following table sets forth our selected historical consolidated financial data for the periods presented. The selected historical consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 and the selected historical consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for such years, which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The selected historical consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the selected historical consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been derived from our audited historical consolidated financial statements, which are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our historical consolidated financial data for 2013 have been presented on a “carve-out” basis from CBS’s consolidated financial statements using the historical results of operations, cash flows, assets and liabilities attributable to CBS’s Outdoor Americas operating segment and include allocations of expenses from CBS. These allocations reflect significant assumptions, and the selected historical consolidated financial information set forth below do not necessarily reflect what our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows would have been if we had operated as a stand-alone company during the periods presented, and, accordingly, such information should not be relied upon as an indicator of our future performance, financial condition or liquidity.

You should read the following information together with “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

(a)	In 2016, we sold all of our equity interest in certain of our subsidiaries, which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America. (See Item 8., Note 11. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements).


(b)	In 2015, we recorded a non-cash loss on real estate assets held for sale. This non-cash loss is primarily comprised of the impact of including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses in the carrying value of assets held for sale. (See Item 8., Note 11. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

(c)

Adjusted OIBDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For purposes of the above table, we calculate “Adjusted OIBDA” as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, loss on real estate assets held for sale and costs related to the Acquisition. Adjusted OIBDA is among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as it 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 presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, as a supplemental measure, is 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 this supplemental measure provides users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also makes 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. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” for further information about Adjusted OIBDA.


(d)	Stock-based compensation in 2014, excludes $5.6 million recorded as Restructuring charges.


(e)	Net income per weighted average share outstanding for 2014 and 2013 was calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding for 2014 of 114.3 million for basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) and 114.8 million for diluted EPS.

(f)

We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by NAREIT. FFO reflects net income (loss) 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, the non-cash effect of loss on real estate assets held for sale and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments, 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 costs related to the Acquisition and restructuring charges, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent and amortization of deferred financing costs, and the non-cash portion of income taxes, as well as 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. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” for further information about FFO and AFFO.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to FFO and AFFO:

Our net income (loss) reflects our tax status as a regular domestic C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes through July 16, 2014. On July 17, 2014, we began operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We incurred an income tax expense of $4.1 million in 2017, $5.4 million in each of 2016 and 2015, realized an income tax benefit of $206.0 million in 2014, and incurred an income tax expense of $96.6 million in 2013. Our cash paid for taxes during these periods were $6.8 million in 2017, $1.2 million in 2016, $5.8 million in 2015, $53.0 million in 2014 and $112.8 million in 2013. (See “Item 7.

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.”) and Canada. We currently manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing. International and Sports Marketing do not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, are both included in Other (see Item 8., Note 17. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Prior to April 1, 2016, our International segment included our advertising businesses in Canada and Latin America.

On April 1, 2016, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America. (See Item 8., Note 11. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) The operating results of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America through April 1, 2016, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2016 and 2015, 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. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and 140 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites such as the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York. 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.”

Economic Environment

Our revenues and operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in advertising expenditures, general economic conditions and other external events beyond our control.

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 customers, structures and display locations. We also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media advertising platforms and traditional platforms such as, broadcast and cable television, radio, print media and direct mail marketers.

Increasing the number of digital displays in our most heavily trafficked 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 production 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. In 2017, we commenced deployment of state-of-the-art digital transit displays in connection with several transit franchises and are planning to increase deployments significantly over the coming years. Once the digital transit displays have been deployed at scale, we expect that revenue generated on digital transit displays will be a multiple of the revenue 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. In 2017, we have built or converted 65 new digital billboard displays in the United States and 21 in Canada. Additionally, in 2017, we entered into marketing arrangements to sell advertising on 49 digital billboard displays in the U.S. and 26 in Canada. In 2017, we have built, converted or replaced 238 digital transit and other displays in the United States. The following table sets forth information regarding our digital displays.



	Digital Revenues (in millions) for the Year Ended December 31, 2017						Number of Digital Displays as of December 31, 2017^(a)
Location	Digital Billboard		Digital Transit and Other		Total Digital Revenues		Digital Billboard Displays	Digital Transit and Other Displays	Total Digital Displays	Percentage of Total Digital Displays
United States	$	159.1	$	44.8	$	203.9	822	871	1,693	88	%
Canada	14.6		0.2		14.8		160	63	223	12
Total	$	173.7	$	45.0	$	218.7	982	934	1,916	100	%


(a)	Digital display amounts (1) include displays reserved for transit agency use and (2) exclude: (i) all displays under our multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions; (ii) 1,650 MetroCard vending machine digital screens; and (iii) 317 in-train advertising displays which are scheduled to be taken out of service permanently.

We have a diversified base of customers across various industries. During 2017, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, healthcare/pharmaceuticals and television, each of which represented 8% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues. During 2016, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, television and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, which represented 9%, 8% and 7% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, respectively. During 2015, our largest categories of advertisers were retail, television and healthcare/pharmaceuticals, which represented 10%, 8% and 7% 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 2017, we generated approximately 43% of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns, compared to 46% in 2016 and 47% in 2015.

In November 2014, we were informed that we were not successful in the renewal of the New York City phone kiosk contract which we obtained as part of the Acquisition and our operation of these kiosks ceased during the first quarter of 2015. In 2015, we generated revenue of $1.6 million related to these operations.

Our contracts with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) represented 53% of our U.S. Media segment transit and other revenues, or 17% of our total U.S. Media segment revenues, in 2017. On December 8, 2017, we entered into a transit advertising and communications concession agreement with the MTA for subway, commuter rail and buses for a 10-year term, with an additional 5-year extension at our option. Under the agreement, we are obligated to deploy over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018, and the MTA is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Due to the change in the MTA’s revenue share percentage under the new agreement, we expect our transit franchise operating expenses to decline in year one of the new agreement as compared to prior historical periods, and gradually increase in subsequent years if our revenues increase over an annual base revenue amount. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system. Our currently estimated equipment deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these equipment deployment costs will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 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 recovered, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We expect to utilize third party financing to fund equipment deployment costs, and have increased our letters of credit for the benefit of the MTA from approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated.

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.



	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions, except percentages)	2017			2016			% Change
Revenues	$	1,520.5		$	1,513.9		—	%
Organic revenues^(a)(b)	1,501.6			1,493.2			1
Operating income	241.7			204.9			18
Adjusted OIBDA^(b)	444.1			449.0			(1	)
Adjusted OIBDA^(b) margin	29		%	30		%
Funds from operations (“FFO”)^(b)	277.3			280.4			(1	)
Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”)^(b)	277.6			294.5			(6	)
Net income	125.8			90.9			38

(a)

Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate, 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 (loss) to FFO and AFFO 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 loss on real estate assets held for sale. 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

We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) 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, the non-cash effect of loss on real estate assets held for sale and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments, 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 costs related to restructuring charges, as well as certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent and amortization of deferred financing costs, and the non-cash portion of income taxes, as well as 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, AFFO, and related per weighted average share amounts, 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 and, as applicable, related per weighted average share amounts, 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), revenues and net income (loss) per common share for diluted earnings per share, 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 in 2017 of $277.3 million decreased $3.1 million, or 1%, compared to 2016. AFFOin 2017 of $277.6 million decreased $16.9 million, or 6%, compared to 2016, primarily due to the impact of a reimbursement of historical tax payments received in 2016 from our former parent company, CBS Corporation, and lower depreciation and amortization, partially offset by higher net income.

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 as earned over the contract period.

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

(b)

Revenues on a constant dollar basis are calculated as reported revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates between periods. We provide constant dollar revenues to understand the underlying growth rate of revenue excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods, which are not under management’s direct control. Our management believes constant dollar 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 constant dollar revenues are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, revenues as an indicator of operating performance. Constant dollar revenues, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Total revenues increased $6.6 million and organic revenues increased $8.4 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016. In constant dollars, revenues increased $5.4 million and organic revenues increased $8.4 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016.

Non-organic revenues primarily reflects acquisitions and dispositions.

Total billboard revenues decreased $12.0 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016, principally driven by a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period, the impact of the Disposition and the impact of hurricanes in the Florida and Texas markets, partially offset by the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays, higher proceeds from condemnations and the impact of the Transaction (as defined in the “Segments Results of Operations: Other” section of this MD&A). The decrease in average revenue per display (yield) is primarily due to a reduction in national advertising revenues, partially offset by an increase in local advertising revenues. In constant dollars, billboard revenues decreased $13.0 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016.

The decrease in organic billboard revenues in 2017 compared to 2016, is due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), as discussed above, the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period, the impact of hurricanes in the Florida and Texas markets, and lower performance in Canada, partially offset by the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays and higher proceeds from condemnations.

Total transit and other revenues increased $18.6 million, or 4%, in 2017 compared to 2016, driven by the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period (primarily the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (the “MBTA”)), partially offset by lower revenues in New York due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), and the impact of the Disposition. The decrease in average revenue per display (yield) is primarily due to a reduction in national advertising revenues, partially offset by an increase in local advertising revenues.

The increase in organic transit and other revenues in the 2017 compared to 2016, is due to the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period (primarily the MBTA), partially offset by lower revenues in New York due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), as discussed above.

Total revenues increased $0.1 million and organic revenues increased $45.3 million, or 3%, in 2016 compared to 2015. In constant dollars, revenues increased $5.3 million and organic revenues increased $45.3 million, or 3%, in 2016 compared to 2015.

Non-organic revenues primarily reflect acquisitions and dispositions, and the discontinuation of business lines in 2015.

Total billboard revenues decreased $13.3 million, or 1%, in 2016 compared to 2015, principally driven by the impact of the Disposition, the effect of lost billboard leases in 2016, lower performance in Canada, foreign currency exchange losses of $4.6 million and the impact of the disposition of billboard advertising structures in the second quarter of 2015, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays. In constant dollars, billboard revenues decreased $8.7 million, or 1%, in 2016 compared to 2015.

Total transit and other revenues increased $13.4 million, or 3%, in 2016 compared to 2015, driven by stronger market conditions in local advertising, the impact of an acquisition and the net effect of won and lost franchises in 2016, partially offset by lower advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2016 from major sports entertainment events and the impact of the Disposition.

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 monthly 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 and are generally calculated based on a percentage of the revenues we generate under the contract, with a minimum guarantee. The costs that are determined based on a percentage of revenues are expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized, and the minimum guarantee 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.

(in millions, except percentages)	2017		2016		2015		2017 vs. 2016		2016 vs. 2015
Operating expenses:

Total operating expenses	$	835.2	$	818.1	$	833.1	2		(2	)

Billboard property lease expenses represented 35% of billboard revenues in 2017 and 34% in each of 2016 and 2015. The increase in billboard property lease costs in 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily due to an increase in Canada billboard property lease costs, primarily as a result of the impact of the Transaction, and an increase in U.S. Media segment billboard property lease costs, including a $1.5 million one-time true-up, partially offset by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $3.0 million compared to 2016). Excluding the impact of the Disposition in 2016, billboard property lease expenses increased 3% in 2017 compared to 2016. The decrease in billboard property lease expenses in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $12.2 million compared to 2015) and lost billboard leases in 2016, partially offset by increases in billboard property lease expenses in our U.S. Media segment. Excluding the impact of the Disposition in 2016, billboard property lease expenses increased 2% in 2016 compared to 2015.

Transit franchise expenses represented 63% of transit revenues in each of 2017, 2016 and 2015. The increase in transit franchise expenses in 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily due to the increase in transit revenues, primarily from new

contracts (primarily the MBTA), partially offset by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $0.8 million compared to 2016). The increase in transit franchise expenses in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to the increase in transit revenues, partially offset by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $3.6 million compared to 2015).

Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses increased by $13.4 million in 2017 compared to 2016. Billboard property lease and transit franchise expenses decreased by $1.0 million in 2016 compared to 2015.

Posting, maintenance and other expenses as a percentage of Revenues were 15% in each of 2017 and 2016 and 16% in 2015. Posting, maintenance and other expenses increased $3.7 million, or 2%, in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to higher expenses related to our Sports Marketing operating segment, higher compensation and benefits-related costs, and the impact of hurricanes in the Florida and Texas markets, partially offset by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $5.0 million compared to 2016). Excluding the impact of the Disposition, posting, maintenance and other expenses increased 4% in 2017 compared to 2016. Posting, maintenance and other expenses decreased $14.0 million, or 6%, in 2016 compared to 2015, principally due to the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $17.1 million compared to 2015). Excluding the impact of the Disposition, posting, maintenance and other expenses increased 1% in 2016 compared to 2015.

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

SG&A expenses represented 17% of Revenues in each of 2017, 2016 and 2015. SG&A expenses decreased $3.1 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to lower professional fees and the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $3.1 million compared to 2016), partially offset by higher expenses related to our Sports Marketing operating segment. Excluding the impact of the Disposition, SG&A expenses in 2017 were comparable to 2016. SG&A expenses increased $6.5 million, or 3%, in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to increased sales and other compensation-related expenses and one-time professional fees in 2016 of $3.8 million associated with implementing initiatives to improve our cost base and pricing/yield management, partially offset by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $11.5 million compared to 2015), lower administrative costs and non-recurring legal expenses in 2015 of $5.2 million. Excluding the impact of the Disposition, SG&A expenses increased 7% in 2016 compared to 2015.

Restructuring Charges

In 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $6.4 million for severance charges primarily associated with the Transaction. In 2016, we recorded restructuring charges of $2.5 million for severance charges associated with the reorganization of our sales management and administrative functions. In 2015, we recorded restructuring charges of $2.6 million associated with the elimination of management positions and the elimination of positions in connection with the sale of assets and the consolidation of leased locations.

Loss on Real Estate Assets Held for Sale

In connection with the Disposition, the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America had been classified as Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2015. It is required that we measure assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value (including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses) or fair value less cost to sell. The impact of including unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment losses in the carrying value of assets held for sale resulted in a non-cash loss on real estate assets held for sale of approximately $1.3 million in 2016 and $103.6 million in 2015. Upon completion of the Disposition in 2016, the unrecognized foreign currency translation adjustment loss was reclassified to earnings from Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Net (Gain) Loss on Dispositions

Net gain on dispositions was $14.3 million in 2017, which includes a gain of $14.1 million from the acquisition of digital billboards in the Boston, Massachusetts, DMA in exchange for static billboards in four non-metropolitan market clusters, and $1.9 million in 2016. Net loss on dispositions in 2015 was $0.7 million.

Depreciation

Depreciation decreased $19.2 million, or 18%, in 2017 compared to 2016, due primarily to the increase in fully-depreciated advertising billboards and the impact of the Disposition, partially offset by higher depreciation associated with the increased number of digital billboards. Depreciation decreased $4.8 million, or 4%, in 2016 compared to 2015, due primarily to the impact of the Disposition, partially offset by higher depreciation associated with the increased number of digital billboards. Both digital and static billboards are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 5 years to 20 years.

Amortization

Amortization decreased $15.2 million, or 13%, in 2017 compared to 2016, principally driven by lower amortization of intangible assets. Amortization decreased $0.1 million in 2016 compared to 2015, principally driven by lower amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by increased direct lease acquisition costs in 2016 compared to 2015. Amortization expense includes the amortization of direct lease acquisition costs of $40.0 million in 2017, $38.2 million in 2016 and $36.3 million in 2015. Capitalized direct lease acquisition costs were $40.4 million in 2017, $38.0 million in 2016 and $36.3 million in 2015.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net, was $116.9 million (including $6.1 million of deferred financing costs) in 2017, $113.8 million (including $6.4 million of deferred financing costs) in 2016 and $114.8 million (including $6.3 million of deferred financing costs) in 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Provision for income taxes was $4.1 million (including a $2.1 million effect from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on net deferred tax assets) in 2017 and $5.4 million in each of 2016 and 2015. Excluding the Loss on real estate assets held for sale of $103.6 million in 2015, the effective income tax rate was 3.3% for 2017, 5.9% for 2016 and 7.2% for 2015.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $125.8 million in 2017, an increase of $34.9 million compared to 2016, primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization, a gain of $14.1 million from the acquisition of digital billboards in the Boston, Massachusetts, DMA in exchange for static billboards in four non-metropolitan market clusters, lower professional fees and the impact of the Disposition. In 2016, Net income was $90.9 million compared to a Net loss of $29.4 million in 2015, primarily due to the impact of the Disposition, and a Loss on real estate assets held for sale and non-recurring legal expenses in 2015, partially offset by higher sales and other compensation-related expenses and one-time professional fees in 2016 of $3.8 million associated with implementing initiatives to improve our cost base and pricing/yield management.

Segment Results of Operations

We present Adjusted OIBDA as the primary measure of profit and loss for our operating segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) guidance for segment reporting. (See the “Key Performance Indicators” section of this MD&A and Item 8., Note 18. Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of April 1, 2016, we manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing. International and Sports Marketing do not meet the criteria to be a reportable segment and accordingly, are both included in Other. Our segment reporting therefore includes U.S. Media and Other.

The following table presents our Revenues, Adjusted OIBDA, Operating income (loss) and Depreciation and Amortization by segment, in 2017, 2016 and 2015. Historical financial information by reportable segment has been recast to reflect the current year’s presentation. On April 1, 2016, we completed the Disposition. Historical operating results for our advertising business in Latin America are included in Other.

(a)	Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures (“non-organic revenues”).

Total U.S. Media segment revenues increased $12.7 million, or 1%, and U.S. Media segment organic revenues increased $11.3 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016. Non-organic revenues primarily reflect an acquisition.

Total U.S. Media segment revenue grew in 2017 compared to 2016, reflecting the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period (primarily the MBTA), the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays and higher proceeds from condemnations, partially offset by a decrease in average revenue per display (yield) in billboards and transit, the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period, and the impact of hurricanes in the Florida and Texas markets. We generated approximately 43% in 2017 and 46% in 2016 of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns. We have seen a softening of advertising revenues from national accounts across a variety of industry categories, primarily automotive, travel/leisure and retail.

Revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards decreased $7.7 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016, reflecting a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period, and the impact of hurricanes in the Florida and Texas markets, partially offset by the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays and higher proceeds from condemnations. The decrease in average revenue per display (yield) is primarily due to a reduction in national advertising revenues, partially offset by an increase in local advertising revenues.

Organic revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards decreased $9.2 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), as discussed above, the net effect of new and lost billboards in the period, and the impact of hurricanes in the Florida and Texas markets, partially offset by the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays and higher proceeds from condemnations.

Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $20.4 million, or 5%, in 2017 compared to 2016, reflecting the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period (primarily the MBTA), partially offset by lower revenues in New York due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield). The decrease in average revenue per display (yield) is primarily due to a reduction in national advertising revenues, partially offset by an increase in local advertising revenues.

Organic transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $20.5 million, or 5%, in 2017 compared to 2016, reflecting the net effect of won and lost franchises in the period (primarily the MBTA), partially offset by lower revenues in New York due to a decrease in average revenue per display (yield), as discussed above.

U.S. Media segment operating expenses increased $15.2 million, or 2%, in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to increased transit franchise expenses resulting from an increase in transit revenues, primarily from new contracts, increased billboard property lease costs, including a $1.5 million one-time true-up, and higher compensation and benefits-related costs. In the U.S. Media segment, billboard property lease expenses represented 35% of billboard revenues in 2017 and 34% in 2016, and transit franchise expenses represented 63% of transit revenues in each of 2017 and 2016. U.S. Media segment SG&A expenses decreased $6.8 million, or 4%, in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to lower professional fees.

U.S. Media segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $4.3 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared to 2016.

(a)	Organic revenues exclude revenues associated with significant acquisitions and divestitures, and revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate (“non-organic revenues”).

Total U.S. Media segment revenues increased $49.5 million, or 4%, and U.S. Media segment organic revenues increased $42.0 million, or 3%, in 2016 compared to 2015.

Non-organic revenues primarily reflect acquisitions and dispositions, and revenues associated with business lines we no longer operate.

Total U.S. Media segment revenue grew in 2016 compared to 2015, reflecting stronger market conditions in local advertising, an increase in average revenue per display (yield) in billboards, growth attributable to the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays and the impact of an acquisition, partially offset by the impact of the disposition of billboard advertising structures in the second quarter of 2015, the loss of the New York City phone kiosk contract in the first quarter of 2015, the net impact of won and lost billboard leases and franchises in 2016, and lower advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2016 from major sports entertainment events. We generated approximately 45% in 2016 and 47% in 2015 of our U.S. Media segment revenues from national advertising campaigns.

Revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards increased $35.8 million, or 4%, in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily reflecting stronger market conditions in local advertising, an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays, partially offset by the impact of lost billboard leases in 2016 and the disposition of billboard advertising structures in the second quarter of 2015.

Organic revenues from U.S. Media segment billboards increased $33.2 million in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to an increase in average revenue per display (yield) and the conversion of traditional static billboard displays to digital billboard displays, partially offset by the impact of lost low-margin billboard leases in 2016.

Transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $13.7 million, or 4%, in 2016 compared to 2015, reflecting stronger market conditions in local advertising, the net effect of won and lost franchises in 2016 and the impact of an acquisition, partially offset by lower advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2016 from major sports entertainment events.

Organic transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment increased $8.8 million, or 2%, in 2016 compared to 2015. This increase was driven by the net effect of won and lost franchises.

U.S. Media segment operating and SG&A expenses increased $16.9 million and $9.9 million, or 2% and 6%, respectively, in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to higher billboard property lease expenses, increased transit franchise expenses resulting from an increase in transit revenues, increased sales and other compensation-related expenses, increased strategic business development expenses of $3.3 million and higher professional fees of $2.4 million, partially offset by lost billboard leases in 2016 and lower administrative costs. In the U.S. Media segment, billboard property lease expenses represented 34% of billboard revenues in each of 2016 and 2015, and transit franchise expenses represented 63% of transit revenues in each of 2016 and 2015.

U.S. Media segment Adjusted OIBDA increased $22.7 million in 2016 compared to 2015.

(a)	Revenues on a constant dollar basis are calculated as reported revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates between periods.

Total Other revenues decreased $49.4 million, or 29%, in 2016 compared to 2015. In constant dollars, total Other revenues in 2016 decreased 27% compared to 2015, driven by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $47.5 million) and lower performance in Canada of 3%, partially offset by stronger results in our Sports Marketing operating segment.

Other operating expenses decreased $31.9 million, or 29%, in 2016 compared to 2015, driven by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $32.9 million), partially offset by higher expenses related to our Sports Marketing operating segment. Other SG&A expenses decreased $11.0 million, or 32%, in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily driven by the impact of the Disposition (a decrease of $11.2 million), foreign currency exchange rates and lower expenses in Canada, partially offset by higher expenses related to our Sports Marketing operating segment.

Corporate

Corporate expenses primarily include expenses associated with employees who provide centralized services. Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, were $42.4 million in 2017, $42.6 million in 2016 and $37.8 million in 2015. Corporate expenses in 2017 decreased slightly compared to 2016, primarily reflecting lower professional fees, partially offset by costs incurred in connection with the Amendment (as defined in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A). The increase in corporate expenses in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily reflects increased compensation-related expenses and one-time professional fees in 2016 of $3.8 million associated with implementing initiatives to improve our cost base and pricing/yield management, partially offset by non-recurring legal expenses in 2015 of $5.2 million.

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 cut back on spending following the holiday shopping season. Further, certain of our municipal transit contracts, as well as our marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges and universities, require guaranteed minimum annual payments to be paid at the beginning of the year.

Our short-term cash requirements primarily include payments for operating leases, guaranteed minimum annual payments, capital expenditures, equipment deployment costs, interest 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 borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), the AR Facility (as defined below) or other secured credit facilities that we may establish.

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 borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility or other secured credit facilities that we may establish.

Our decline in working capital during 2017 is due to short-term borrowings primarily used to finance the Transaction and due to the change in timing of transit franchise payments to the MTA under the short-term extension of our previous contracts for transit advertising services.

Under the MTA agreement, we are obligated to deploy over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018, and the MTA is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Due to the change in the MTA’s revenue share percentage under the current agreement, we expect our transit franchise operating expenses to decline in year one of the current agreement as compared to prior historical periods, and gradually increase in subsequent years if our revenues increase over an annual base revenue amount. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system. Our currently estimated equipment deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these equipment deployment costs will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 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 recovered, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We expect to utilize third party financing to fund equipment deployment costs, and have increased our letters of credit for the benefit of the MTA from approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated. For the full year of 2018, we expect our equipment deployment costs to be approximately $100.0 million.

As of December 31, 2017, we had total indebtedness of approximately $2.3 billion.

On March 16, 2017, 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 other guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement and its related security agreement, each dated January 31, 2014 (together, and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment provides for (i) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrowers’ existing revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) from January 31, 2019, to March 16, 2022, (ii) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrowers’ existing term loan (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”) from January 31, 2021, to March 16, 2024, (iii) an increase to the Revolving Credit Facility by $5.0 million to $430.0 million, (iv) the incurrence of a $10.0 million incremental term loan primarily to cover transaction fees and expenses, which increases the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to $670.0 million, and (v) revisions to certain provisions of the Credit Agreement to, among other things, lower the interest rate floor for all loans to 0.0% and update covenants for greater operational and financial flexibility to the Company (including incurrence of additional indebtedness), as well as include other ministerial changes to the Credit Agreement. The remaining terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, are substantially the same as the terms under the existing Credit Agreement, including with respect to events of default and loan acceleration. The letter of credit sublimit that is part of the Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement remains at $100.0 million.

On November 17, 2017, the Company, the Borrowers and other guarantor subsidiaries party thereto entered into another amendment to the Credit Agreement to reduce the interest rate margin applicable to the Term Loan from 1.25% to 1.00%, in the case of base rate borrowings, and from 2.25% to 2.00% in the case of London Interbank Offered Rate borrowings. The remaining terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, are substantially the same as the terms under the existing Credit Agreement, including with respect to events of default and loan acceleration.

On June 30, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a three-year $100.0 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”).

Term Loan

The interest rate on the Term Loan was 3.6% per annum as of December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, a discount of $2.2 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, 2017, 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 $1.5 million in 2017, $1.8 million in 2016 and $1.9 million in 2015. As of December 31, 2017, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $88.6 million against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Standalone Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2017, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $119.5 million under our aggregate $150.0 million standalone letter of credit facilities. The total fees under the letter of credit facilities in 2017, 2016 and 2015, were immaterial.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

On June 30, 2017, we entered into the AR Facility. The AR Facility provides up to $100.0 million in borrowing capacity, which is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the AR Facility. In connection with the AR Facility, Outfront Media LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will sell and/or contribute its existing and future accounts receivable and certain related assets to Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a special purpose vehicle and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “SPV”). The SPV will transfer an undivided interest in the accounts receivable to certain purchasers from time to time (the “Purchasers”). Outfront Media LLC will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPV for a fee. The SPV has granted the Purchasers a security interest in all of its assets, which primarily consist of the accounts receivable relating to the Company’s qualified REIT subsidiaries, in order to secure its obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of Outfront Media LLC, in its capacity as originator and servicer, of its obligations under the agreements governing the AR Facility. Neither Outfront Media LLC nor the SPV guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility. In addition, the SPV is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPV’s assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPV’s 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 SPV may be remitted to the Company.

The AR Facility is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, (ii) our Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense related to pledged accounts receivable (a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of December 31, 2017, there were $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.3%, which were primarily used to repay previously outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, the total borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility was approximately $14.9 million based on approximately $192.2 million of eligible accounts receivable used as collateral for the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was immaterial in 2017. As of February 26, 2018, there were $55.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.4%.

As of December 31, 2017, a discount of $0.4 million on $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of December 31, 2017, a premium of $2.6 million on $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes, due 2024, remains unamortized. The premium is being amortized through Interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Debt Covenants

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 limit the Company’s and our 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 (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany or third-party transfers.

Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2017, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.7 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to an acquisition, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2017, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of December 31, 2017, we had deferred $29.4 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 the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, AR Facility and our senior unsecured notes.

At-the-Market Equity Offering Program

On November 21, 2017, we entered into 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. As of February 26, 2018, no shares of our common stock have been sold under the ATM Program and accordingly, as of February 26, 2018, $300.0 million remained available to be sold under the sales agreement.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows in 2017, 2016 and 2015.



	Year Ended December 31,									% Change
(in millions, except percentages)	2017			2016			2015			2017 vs. 2016		2016 vs. 2015

*	Calculation is not meaningful.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $37.8 million in 2017 compared to 2016, principally as a result of the timing of payments made under the MTA agreement and lower net income, as adjusted for non-cash items. As a result of a change in the payment terms under the extensions to our previous MTA contracts, during 2017, we made payments to the MTA for percentage of revenues transit franchise fees due in excess of the guaranteed minimum payments related to both 2016 and 2017. The additional payment made in 2017 was $20.9 million. Additionally, we incurred $4.7 million of equipment deployment costs that are expected to be recouped against future revenues under the terms of our new MTA agreement and are recorded as a prepaid expense as of December 31, 2017. Cash provided by operating activities decreased $6.0 million in 2016 compared to 2015, due primarily to the timing of interest payments on our debt and the timing of commissions and other expense payments, partially offset by higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items.

Cash used for investing activities increased $98.6 million in 2017 compared to 2016 and decreased $25.7 million in 2016 compared to 2015. In 2017, we completed several acquisitions for total cash payments of approximately $70.1 million, incurred $70.8 million in capital expenditures and received $5.6 million in proceeds from dispositions. In 2016, we completed several acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $67.9 million, incurred $59.4 million in capital expenditures and received $90.6 million in proceeds from dispositions, primarily related to the Disposition. In 2015, we incurred $59.2 million in capital expenditures, completed several acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $12.1 million and received $8.9 million in proceeds from dispositions, primarily related to the disposition of substantially all of our assets in Puerto Rico.

The following table presents our capital expenditures in 2017, 2016 and 2015.



	Year Ended December 31,						% Change
(in millions, except percentages)	2017		2016		2015		2017 vs. 2016		2016 vs. 2015
Growth	$	50.9	$	40.9	$	33.6	24	%	22	%
Maintenance	19.9		18.5		25.6		8		(28	)
Total capital expenditures	$	70.8	$	59.4	$	59.2	19		—

Capital expenditures increased $11.4 million, or 19%, in 2017 compared to 2016, driven by an increase in digital billboard and/or transit display spending. Capital expenditures increased $0.2 million in 2016 compared to 2015, driven by installation of the most current LED lighting technology to improve the quality and extend the life of our static billboards and an increase in digital display spending, partially offset by decreased expenditures related to the Disposition and the renovation of certain office facilities.

For the full year of 2018, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $75.0 million, which will be used primarily for maintenance, growth in digital displays, installation of the most current LED lighting technology to improve the quality and extend the life of our static billboards, and to renovate certain office facilities. This estimate does not include equipment deployment costs that will be incurred in connection with the MTA agreement, which we anticipate will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as applicable. For the full year of 2018, we expect our equipment deployment costs to be approximately $100.0 million.

Cash used for financing activities decreased $155.0 million in 2017 compared to 2016 and increased $137.9 million in 2016 compared to 2015. In 2017, we drew net borrowings of $80.0 million on our short-term borrowing facilities, received net proceeds from an incremental borrowing on our Term Loan of $8.3 million, paid cash dividends of $201.8 million and incurred additional deferred financing costs of $8.5 million. In 2016, we paid cash dividends $188.6 million and made discretionary payments totaling $90.0 million on the Term Loan. In 2015, we paid cash dividends of $196.3 million, prepaid $50.0 million on the Term Loan and incurred debt, including a premium, of $103.8 million.

Cash paid for income taxes was $6.8 million in 2017, $1.2 million in 2016 and $5.8 million in 2015. The increase in 2017 was due primarily to higher income from taxable REIT subsidiaries in 2017 and the impact of a reimbursement of historical tax payments received in 2016 from our former parent company, CBS Corporation.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2017, our significant contractual obligations and payments due by period were as follows:



	Payments Due by Period
(in millions)	Total		2018		2019-2020		2021-2022		2023 and thereafter

Total	$	5,423.5	$	433.7	$	785.0	$	1,244.5	$	2,960.3

(a)

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. Franchise rights are generally paid monthly, or in some cases upfront at the beginning of the year.

(b)

We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. Under most of these agreements, the school is entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of the relevant revenue, net of agency commissions, or a specified guaranteed minimum annual payment.


(c)	Consists of non-cancellable operating leases with terms in excess of one year for billboard sites, office space and equipment. Total future minimum payments of $1.1 billion include $1.0 billion for our billboard sites. Excludes rent on cancellable leases and leases with terms of under one year, as well as contingent rent.


(d)	As of December 31, 2017, we had long-term debt of approximately $2.2 billion. Interest on the Term Loan is variable. For illustrative purposes, we are assuming an interest rate of 3.6% for all years, which reflects the interest rate as of December 31, 2017. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in the interest rate will change the annual interest expense by $1.7 million.

The above table excludes $0.6 million of reserves for uncertain tax positions and the related accrued interest and penalties, as we cannot reasonably predict the amount of and timing of cash payments related to this obligation.

In 2018, we expect to contribute $2.5 million to our pension plans. Contributions to our pension plans were $2.0 million in 2017 and $2.0 million in each of 2016 and 2015.

For further information about our contractual obligations, including the MTA agreement, see Item 8, Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of operating lease arrangements and guaranteed minimum annual payments. (See Item 8, Note 16. 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 its 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.

Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on October 31 of each year and between annual tests should factors or indicators become apparent that would require an interim test. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting-unit level. We elected to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test in 2017 and 2016.

The first step of the goodwill impairment test examines whether the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We compute the estimated fair value of each reporting unit by adding the present value of the estimated annual cash flows over a discrete projection period to the residual value of the business at the end of the projection period. This technique requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions such as growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures 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 residual 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 are determined based on the weighted average cost of capital of comparable entities. A downward revision of these assumptions would decrease the fair values of our reporting units.

If the fair value of a reporting unit falls below its carrying value, excluding any impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in conformity with GAAP, we would then perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of any non-cash impairment charge. Such a charge could have a material effect on our consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of financial position.

The estimated fair value of our reporting units significantly exceeded their respective carrying values, except for our Canadian reporting unit, for which the fair value exceeded the carrying amount by approximately 2.9%. As of December 31, 2017, goodwill associated with our Canadian reporting unit was $68.1 million.

Revenue in this reporting unit is projected to grow 15.7% in 2018 before trending down to 2.5% in the terminal period. These increases are due to the impact of the Transaction and specific digital billboard display development projects. Our revenue

projections include the successful conversion or new development of approximately 70 digital displays between 2018 and 2020. Our operating costs are expected to decline as a percentage of revenue over the next two years, principally due to the expiration of an unfavorable transit contract, after which point costs are projected to grow in line with revenue. We utilized a discount rate of 8.8%.

We performed a sensitivity analysis to determine how our assumptions impact the impairment assessment. Our plan to grow revenues is highly dependent on our ability to deliver projected results on the assets acquired in the Transaction and to execute on the digital development projects. The inability to fully execute those plans would result in an impairment. In addition, holding all other assumptions constant, an increase in the discount rate to 9.0% or above would result in an impairment.

While these projections supported no impairment of goodwill in this reporting unit, given the sensitivities to the assumptions used in the calculation of the projected cash flows, it is possible that an impairment could be incurred 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 five 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.

Long-lived assets are assessed for 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.

Asset Retirement Obligation

We record an asset retirement obligation for our estimated future legal obligation, upon termination or nonrenewal of a lease, associated with removing structures from the leased property and, when required by the contract, the cost to return the leased property to its original condition. These obligations are recorded at their present value in the period in which the liability is incurred and are capitalized as part of the related assets’ carrying value. Accretion of the liability is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The obligation is calculated based on the assumption that all of our advertising structures will be removed within the next 50 years. The significant assumptions used in estimating the asset retirement obligation include the cost of removing the asset, the cost of remediating the leased property to its original condition where required and the timing and number of lease renewals, all of which are estimated based on historical experience.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of accounting. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). (See Item 1. Business—Tax Status). Accordingly, we have not provided for U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. We have elected to treat our subsidiaries that participate in certain non-REIT qualifying activities, and our foreign subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). As such, we have provided for their federal, state and foreign income taxes.

Accounting Standards

See Item 8., Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for information about adoption of new accounting standards and recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk related to commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, and to a limited extent, interest rates and credit risks.

Commodity Price Risk

We incur various operating costs that are subject to price risk caused by volatility in underlying commodity values. Commodity price risk is present in electricity costs associated with powering our digital billboard displays and lighting our traditional static billboard displays at night.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk. However, we do enter into contracts with commodity providers to limit our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, such contracts accounted for 13.5% of our total utility costs. As of December 31, 2017, we had active electricity purchase agreements with fixed contract rates for locations throughout Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas, which expire at various dates until July 2018.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign currency translation risk is the risk that exchange rate gains or losses arise from translating our Canadian business’ statements of earnings and statements of financial position from functional currency to our reporting currency (the U.S. Dollar) for consolidation purposes. Any gain or loss on translation is included within comprehensive income and Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is their respective local currency. As of December 31, 2017, we have $1.9 million of unrecognized foreign currency translation gains included within Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Substantially all of our transactions at our Canadian subsidiary is denominated in their local functional currency, thereby reducing our risk of foreign currency transaction gains or losses.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency risk, although we may do so in the future.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we have variable-rate debt outstanding including under our Senior Credit Facilities and the AR Facility.

As of December 31, 2017, we had a $670.0 million variable-rate Term Loan due 2024 outstanding, which has an interest rate of 3.6% per year. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in our interest rate on the Term Loan will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $1.7 million.

As of December 31, 2017, we had $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our variable rate AR Facility, at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.3%. An increase or decrease of 1/4% in our interest rate on the AR Facility will change our annualized interest expense by approximately $0.2 million. As of February 26, 2018, there were $55.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.4%.

We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risk, although we may do so in the future.

Credit Risk

In the opinion of our management, credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers and advertising agencies utilized. We perform credit evaluations on our customers and agencies and believe that the allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate. We do not currently use derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate credit risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of OUTFRONT Media Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, including the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

OUTFRONT Media Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us” or “our”) 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. 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. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and 140 markets across the U.S. and Canada. We currently manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing.

On April 1, 2016, we sold all of our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries (the “Disposition”), which held all of the assets of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America (see Note 11. Acquisitions and Dispositions: Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The operating results of our outdoor advertising business in Latin America through April 1, 2016, are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2016 and 2015.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of our management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years presented. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current 2017 presentation.

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and short-term (maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase) highly liquid investments.

Receivables—Receivables consist primarily of trade receivables from customers, net of advertising agency commissions, and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical bad debt experience, the aging of accounts receivable, industry trends and economic indicators, as well as recent payment history for specific customers.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:



Buildings and improvements	20 to 40 years
Advertising structures	5 to 20 years
Furniture, equipment and other	3 to 10 years

For advertising structures associated with a contract, the assets are depreciated over the shorter of the contract term or useful life. Maintenance and repair costs to maintain property and equipment in their original operating condition are charged to

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

expense as incurred. Improvements or additions that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the associated cost and accumulated depreciation are removed and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.

Construction in progress includes all costs capitalized related to projects which have yet to be placed in service.

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions—We routinely acquire out-of-home advertising assets, including advertising structures, permits and leasehold agreements. We determine the accounting for these transactions by first evaluating whether the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, constitute a business using the guidelines in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for business combinations. If the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values with the excess of the purchase price over those estimated fair values recorded as goodwill. If the acquired assets do not constitute a business, we allocate the purchase price to the individual tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their relative fair values.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets are assessed for 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. 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.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units. Intangible assets, which primarily consist of acquired permits and leasehold agreements and franchise agreements, are amortized by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from five to 40 years. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at the reporting-unit level annually for impairment on 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. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized as a non-cash charge.

Revenue Recognition—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 as earned over the contract period. For space provided to advertisers through the use of an advertising agency whose commission is calculated based on a stated percentage of gross advertising spending, our Revenues are reported net of agency commissions.

Deferred revenues primarily consist of revenues paid in advance of being earned.

Revenues derived from a single contract that contains multiple site locations are allocated based on the relative fair value of each delivered item and recognized in accordance with the applicable revenue recognition criteria for the specific unit of accounting.

Concentration of Credit Risk—In the opinion of management, credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers and advertising agencies utilized. We perform credit evaluations on our customers and agencies and believe that the allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.

Billboard Property Lease and Transit Franchise Expenses—Our billboards are primarily located on leased real property. Lease agreements are negotiated for varying terms ranging from one month to multiple years, most of which provide renewal options. Lease costs consist of a fixed monthly amount and certain lease agreements also include contingent rent based on the revenues we generate from the leased site. Property leases are generally paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months.

The fixed component of lease costs is expensed evenly over the non-cancellable contract term, and contingent rent is expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized.

Transit franchise agreements generally provide for payment to the municipality or transit operator of the greater of a percentage of the revenues that we generate under the related transit contract and a specified guaranteed minimum payment. The costs

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

which are determined based on a percentage of revenues are expensed as incurred when the related revenues are recognized, and the minimum guarantee is expensed over the contract term.

Direct Lease Acquisition Costs—Variable commissions directly associated with billboard revenues are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related customer lease term, which generally ranges from four weeks to one year. Amortization of direct lease acquisition costs is presented within Amortization expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions—The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while results of operations are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. Any gain or loss on translation is included within other comprehensive income (loss) and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in Other income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes—As of July 17, 2014, we began operating as a REIT. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. We have elected to treat our subsidiaries that participate in certain non-REIT qualifying activities, and our foreign subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). As such, the taxable income of our TRSs will be subject to federal, state and foreign income taxation at regular corporate rates.

We have applied the FASB’s guidance relating to uncertainty in income taxes recognized. Under this guidance we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods.

Asset Retirement Obligation—An asset retirement obligation is established for the estimated future obligation, upon termination or non-renewal of a lease, associated with removing structures from the leased property and, when required by the contract, the cost to return the leased property to its original condition. These obligations are recorded at their present value in the period in which the liability is incurred and are capitalized as part of the related assets’ carrying value. Accretion of the liability is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset.

Stock-based Compensation—We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Stock Compensation

During the first quarter of 2017, we adopted the FASB’s guidance that simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as the classification in the statement of cash flows. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, which we adopted on a modified retrospective basis and resulted in an increase of $0.5 million to Additional paid in capital, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million to Distribution in excess of earnings on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Equity as of December 31, 2017.

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Business Combinations

During the first quarter of 2017, we adopted the FASB’s guidance clarifying the definition of a business for acquisitions and dispositions. The guidance is being applied on a prospective basis. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

During the third quarter of 2017, we adopted the FASB’s guidance clarifying presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is being applied on a retrospective basis. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements

Goodwill

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not expect this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance addressing the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. Lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. This guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.

As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately 21,500 lease agreements in the U.S. and approximately 3,200 lease agreements in Canada, the majority of which will be classified as operating leases under the new guidance. We are currently evaluating our lease contracts and planning for the implementation of this standard. This standard will require us to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for the present value of minimum lease payments for operating leases with a term greater than 12 months and will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our billboard lease revenues will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over their respective lease terms.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014 (updated in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016), the FASB issued principles-based guidance addressing revenue recognition issues. The guidance will be applied to all contracts with customers regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. The guidance requires that the amount of revenue a company should recognize reflect the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods and services. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. Our billboard lease revenues are recognized under the lease standard as described above. The revenue recognition guidance will be primarily applicable to our multi-year transit advertising contracts with municipalities in the U.S. and Canada, and marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions. We have assessed the changes to our accounting policies under the new standard and this

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

guidance does not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We are in the process of preparing the expanded disclosures required under the new standard in 2018 and will apply the modified retrospective method of adoption.

All of our intangible assets, except goodwill, are subject to amortization. Amortization expense was $100.1 million in 2017, $115.3 million in 2016 and $115.4 million in 2015, which includes the amortization of direct lease acquisition costs of $40.0 million in 2017, $38.2 million in 2016 and $36.3 million in 2015. Direct lease acquisition costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related customer lease term, which generally ranges from four weeks to one year.

We expect our aggregate annual amortization expense for intangible assets, before considering the impact of future direct lease acquisition costs, for each of the years 2018 through 2022, to be as follows:

Note 5. Asset Retirement Obligation

The following table sets forth the change in the asset retirement obligations associated with our advertising structures located on leased properties. The obligation is calculated based on the assumption that all of our advertising structures will be removed within the next 50 years. The estimated annual costs to dismantle and remove the structures upon the termination or non-renewal of our leases are consistent with our historical experience.

As of December 31, 2017, there were $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.3%, which were primarily used to repay previously outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, the total borrowing capacity remaining under the AR Facility was approximately $14.9 million, based on approximately $192.2 million of eligible accounts receivable used as collateral for the AR Facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Facility was immaterial in 2017. As of February 26, 2018, there were $55.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility at a borrowing rate of approximately 2.4%.

Senior Unsecured Notes

Debt Covenants

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 4.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2017, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.4 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to an acquisition, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires that, in connection with the incurrence of certain indebtedness, we maintain a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2017, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.7 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to an acquisition, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2017, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.

Deferred Financing Costs

Fair Value

Under the fair value hierarchy, observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are defined as Level 1; observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability are defined as Level 2; and unobservable inputs for the asset or liability are defined as Level 3. The aggregate fair value of our debt, which is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar liabilities, was approximately $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2017, and $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2016. The fair value of our debt as of both December 31, 2017 and 2016 is classified as Level 2.

Note 9. Equity

In 2016, we issued 79,690 shares, valued at approximately $1.9 million and in 2015, we issued 442,922 shares, valued at approximately $12.2 million to J&M Holding Enterprises, Inc. (“J&M”), an affiliate of Videri Inc. (“Videri”), or Videri, as applicable, in connection with licenses and services received under a development and license agreement (the “Videri Agreement”) with J&M and Videri. We have capitalized the payments, which are related to the development of software and equipment to be utilized within digital displays, within Property and equipment, net, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

On June 13, 2017, certain subsidiaries of OUTFRONT Media Inc. acquired the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of All Vision LLC (“All Vision”), which hold substantially all of All Vision’s existing outdoor advertising assets in Canada, and effectuated an amalgamation of All Vision’s Canadian business with our Canadian business (the “Transaction”) (see Note 11. Acquisitions and Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In connection with the Transaction, the Company issued 1,953,407 shares of Class A equity interests of a subsidiary of the Company that controls its Canadian business (“Outfront Canada”).

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Class A equity interests are entitled to receive priority cash distributions from Outfront Canada at the same time and in the same per share amount as the dividends paid on shares of the Company’s common stock. The Class A equity interests may be redeemed by the holders in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to anti-dilution adjustments) or, at the Company’s option, cash equal to the then fair market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock commencing (i) one year after closing, with respect to 55% of the Class A equity interests, and (ii) 18 months after closing, with respect to the remaining 45% of the Class A equity interests. In connection with the Transaction, the Company has agreed to limitations on its ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the assets acquired from All Vision for a period of five years, unless it pays holders of the Class A equity interests in Outfront Canada an amount intended to approximate their resulting tax liability. During 2017, we made distributions of $1.4 million to holders of the Class A equity interests, which are recorded in Dividends on our Consolidated Statements of Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of December 31, 2017, 450,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were authorized; 138,644,917 shares were issued and outstanding; and 50,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, were authorized with no shares issued and outstanding.

On November 21, 2017, we entered into 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. As of February 26, 2018, no shares of our common stock have been sold under the ATM Program, and accordingly, as of February 26, 2018, $300.0 million remained available to be sold under the sales agreement.

Note 10. Restructuring Charges

In 2015, we recorded restructuring charges of $2.6 million in our U.S. Media segment associated with the elimination of management positions and the elimination of positions in connection with the sale of assets and the consolidation of leased locations. In 2016, we recorded restructuring charges of $2.5 million in our U.S. Media segment for severance charges associated with the reorganization of our sales management and administrative functions. In 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $6.4 million, of which $4.1 million was recorded in Other for severance charges primarily associated with the Transaction and $2.3 million was recorded in our U.S. Media segment for severance charges associated with the reorganization of our sales management and administrative functions. As of December 31, 2017, $4.4 million in restructuring reserves remained outstanding and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Note 11. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions

In connection with the Transaction, the Company paid approximately $94.4 million for the assets, comprised of $50.0 million in cash and $44.4 million, or 1,953,407 shares, of Class A equity interests of Outfront Canada, subject to post-closing adjustments (upward or downward) for closing date working capital and indebtedness, and for the achievement of certain operating income before depreciation and amortization targets relating to the acquired assets in 2017 and 2018. The issued Class A equity interests of Outfront Canada are redeemable non-controlling interests and are included in Non-controlling interests on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position based on actual foreign currency exchange rates on the closing date of the Transaction compared to the negotiated foreign currency exchange rate used in the valuation described above.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of approximately $94.4 million is based on management’s estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of the Transaction, which was $68.0 million of identified intangible assets, $34.3 million of goodwill, $17.0 million of deferred tax liabilities and $9.1 million of other assets and liabilities (primarily property and equipment). These preliminary estimates may be revised in future periods as we obtain additional information regarding fixed assets, intangible assets and certain liabilities. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Including the Transaction, we completed several acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $114.7 million in 2017, $67.9 million in 2016 and $12.1 million in 2015.

Dispositions

On April 1, 2016, we completed the Disposition and received $82.0 million in cash plus working capital, which was subject to post-closing adjustments. We recorded a loss on real estate assets held for sale of approximately $1.3 million in 2016 and $103.6 million in 2015 on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In the second quarter of 2015, we disposed of substantially all of our assets in Puerto Rico and recorded a loss of $0.9 million in Net (gain) loss on dispositions on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Asset Swap

On July 1, 2017, in exchange for static billboards in four non-metropolitan market clusters, we acquired digital billboards in the Boston, Massachusetts, DMA and $3.2 million in cash, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $14.1 million.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

Under the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), we have 8,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved for the issuance of stock-based awards. Under the Stock Plan, the board of directors is authorized to grant awards of options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, restricted share units (“RSUs”), dividend equivalents, performance awards, including performance-based restricted share units (“PRSUs”), and other equity-related awards and cash payments to all of our employees and non-employee directors and employees of our subsidiaries. In addition, consultants and advisors who perform services for us and our subsidiaries may, under certain conditions, receive grants under the Stock Plan.

RSUs and PRSUs accrue dividend equivalents in amounts equal to the regular cash dividends paid on our common stock and will be paid in either cash or stock. Accrued dividend equivalents payable in stock shall convert to shares of our common stock on the date of vesting.

Compensation expense for RSUs is determined based upon the market price of the shares underlying the awards on the date of grant and expensed over the vesting period, which is generally a three- to four-year service period. For PRSU awards, the number of shares an employee earns may range from 0% to 120% based on the outcome of a one year performance condition. Compensation expense is recorded based on the probable outcome of the performance condition. On an annual basis, our board of directors will review actual performance and certify the degree to which performance goals applicable to the award have been met. Forfeitures of RSUs are recorded as incurred. On an annual basis, adjustments are made to compensation expense based on actual forfeitures and the forfeiture rates are revised as necessary.

The following table summarizes our stock-based compensation expense for 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Note 13. Retirement Benefits

We sponsor two defined benefit pension plans covering specific groups of employees in Canada and the U.S.

The benefits for the pension plan in Canada are based primarily on an employee’s years of service and an average of the employee’s highest five years of earnings. Participating employees in the pension plan in Canada are vested after two years of service or immediately, depending on the province of their employment. We fund the pension plan in Canada in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Pension Benefits Act of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Canada pension plan assets consist principally of equity securities, corporate and government related securities, and insurance contracts.

The pension plan in the U.S. covers a small number of hourly employees. The investments of the pension plan in the U.S. consist entirely of the plan’s interest in a trust, which invests the assets of this plan. The pension plan in the U.S. is funded in accordance with requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

We use a December 31 measurement date for all pension plans.

The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation for our pension plans.



	As of December 31,

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic cost:
Discount rate	4.0		4.0
Expected long-term return on plan assets	5.1		5.1
Rate of compensation increase	3.0		3.0

For each pension plan, the discount rate is determined based on the yield on portfolios of high quality bonds, constructed to provide cash flows necessary to meet the expected future benefit payments, as determined for the projected benefit obligation. The expected return on plan assets assumption was derived using the current and expected asset allocation of the pension plan assets and considering historical as well as expected returns on various classes of plan assets.

Plan Assets

Our plan assets are included in a trust in Canada and a trust in the U.S. The asset allocations of these trusts are based upon an analysis of the timing and amount of projected benefit payments, projected company contributions, the expected returns and risk of the asset classes and the correlation of those returns. As of December 31, 2017, we invested approximately 31% in fixed income instruments, 59% in equity instruments, and the remainder in cash, cash equivalents and insurance contracts.

The following tables set forth our pension plan assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. These assets have been categorized according to the three-level fair value hierarchy established by the FASB which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Level 1 is based on quoted prices for the asset in active markets. Level 2 is based on inputs that are observable other than quoted market prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for the asset in inactive markets or quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset.

Our insurance contracts classified as Level 3 are valued based on a discount rate determined by reference to the market interest rates prevailing on high quality debt instruments with cash flows that match the timing and amount of expected benefit payments under the pension plan in Canada, as well as a mortality assumption based upon the current mortality table, CPM2014 generational projected using mortality improvement scale CPM-B. As a result, the fair value of the insurance contract is equal to the defined benefit obligation in respect of the members covered under the insurance contract.

Money market investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments. Investments in equity securities are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices on national security exchanges. The fair value of investments in common collective funds are determined using the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is determined by each fund’s trustee based upon the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, less liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding units. The fair value of government related securities and corporate bonds is determined based on quoted market prices on national security exchanges, when

Future Benefit Payments

Estimated future benefit payments for pension plans	1.6	1.7	1.8	2.0	2.1	13.3

We expect to contribute $2.5 million to our pension plans in 2018.

Multi-Employer Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

We contribute to multi-employer plans that provide pension and other postretirement benefits to certain employees under collective bargaining agreements. Contributions to these plans were $3.3 million in 2017, $2.9 million in 2016 and $2.7 million in 2015. Based on our contributions to each individual multi-employer plan relative to the total contributions of all participating employers in such plan, no multi-employer plan was deemed to be individually significant to us.

Defined Contribution Plans

Employer contributions for defined contribution plans sponsored by us were $4.8 million in 2017, $4.5 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2015.

Note 14. Income Taxes

We are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code and, accordingly, we have not provided for U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. We have elected to treat our subsidiaries that participate in certain non-REIT qualifying activities, and our foreign subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). As such, we have provided for their federal, state and foreign income taxes.

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits and deductions. The Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate and transitions from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system including a one-time deemed repatriation on corporate earnings held offshore. The Tax Act also adds many new provisions including changes to bonus depreciation, the deduction for executive compensation and interest expense. From an international tax perspective, a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and a base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) were added. While most of the provisions will not be effective until 2018, two items that are effective for 2017 are the adjustments to our deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the above reduction in the tax rate and the one-time taxable income inclusion of our post-1986 unremitted foreign earnings. The effects of these two items are reported below.

Cash paid for income taxes was $6.8 million in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2016 and $5.8 million in 2015.

The U.S. and foreign components of Income (loss) before provision for income taxes and equity in earnings of investee companies were as follows:

As of December 31, 2017, we had net operating loss carryforwards for Canadian jurisdictions of $8.3 million, which expire in various years from 2018 through 2037.

Our undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries not includable in our federal income tax returns that could be subject to additional income taxes if remitted was approximately $4.1 million as of December 31, 2017, and $25.0 million as of December 31, 2016. No provision was recorded for taxes that could result from the remittance of such undistributed earnings since we intend to declare dividends to our shareholders in an amount sufficient to offset such distributions and intend to reinvest the remainder outside of the U.S. indefinitely. The determination of the unrecognized U.S. federal deferred income tax liability for undistributed earnings is not practicable.

We recognize interest and penalty charges related to the reserve for uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense. These charges were not material for any of the periods presented.

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2017, tax returns for 2016, 2015 and 2014 are open to examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2017, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet commitments primarily consist of operating lease arrangements and guaranteed minimum annual payments. These arrangements result from our normal course of business and represent obligations that are payable over several years.

OUTFRONT Media Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Contractual Obligations

We have long-term operating leases for office space, billboard sites and equipment, which expire at various dates. Certain leases contain renewal and escalation clauses.

On December 8, 2017, we entered into a transit advertising and communications concession agreement with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) for subway, commuter rail and buses for a 10-year term, with an additional 5-year extension at our option. Under the agreement, we are obligated to deploy over 50,000 digital displays for advertising and MTA communications across the transit system over a number of years, commencing in 2018, and the MTA will be entitled to receive the greater of a percentage of revenues or a guaranteed minimum annual payment. Incremental revenues that exceed an annual base revenue amount will be retained by us for the cost of deploying advertising and communications screens throughout the transit system. Our currently estimated deployment costs will be approximately $800 million for the full 15-year term and approximately $600 million for the first eight years of the term, and we anticipate these deployment costs will be recorded as Prepaid lease and transit franchise costs and Intangible assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We expect to utilize third party financing to fund deployment costs, and have increased our letters of credit for the benefit of the MTA from approximately $30.0 million to $136.0 million, which is subject to change as equipment installations are completed and revenues are generated.

As of December 31, 2017, minimum rental payments under non-cancellable operating leases with terms in excess of one year and guaranteed minimum annual payments are as follows:



(in millions)	Operating Leases		Guaranteed Minimum Annual Payments

Rent expense was $377.7 million in 2017, $372.1 million in 2016 and $376.4 million in 2015, including contingent rent amounts of $84.7 million in 2017, $88.1 million in 2016 and $87.5 million in 2015. Rent expense is primarily reflected in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and includes rent on cancellable leases and leases with terms under one year, as well as contingent rent, none of which are included in the operating lease commitments in the table above.

Letters of Credit

We have indemnification obligations with respect to letters of credit and surety bonds primarily used as security against non-performance in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2017, outstanding letters of credit were approximately $208.1 million and outstanding surety bonds were approximately $23.9 million, and were not recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Note 19. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

Our revenues and profits experience seasonality 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 cut back on spending following the holiday shopping season.

Effective April 1, 2016, we changed the segments that we use to review operating results and make decisions regarding segment performance and resource allocation. Historical financial information by reportable segment has been recast to reflect the changes in segment reporting with no impact to previously reported consolidated financial statements. (See Note 17. Segment information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

1.Term. (a) OUTFRONT shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment as OUTFRONT’s Executive Vice President, Chief Revenue Officer until one of the events stated in paragraph 1(b) occurs. The period during which Executive is employed by OUTFRONT shall be referred to herein as the “Term.” Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive will be an at-will employee of OUTFRONT, and Executive or OUTFRONT may terminate Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT for any reason or no reason at any time.

(b) The Term shall end upon the first to occur of any of the following events:

(i) Executive’s death;

(ii) OUTFRONT’s termination of Executive’s employment due to Executive’s Disability (as defined in paragraph ‎7);

(iii) OUTFRONT’s termination of Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined in paragraph ‎8(a));

(iv) a Termination Without Cause (as defined in paragraph ‎8(b)) or Executive’s termination of Executive’s employment for Good Reason (as defined in paragraph ‎8(g)); or

(v) Executive’s voluntary termination without Good Reason.

(c) Executive agrees to take all actions necessary during the Term to maintain the validity of Executive’s work visa. OUTFRONT will provide assistance in maintaining Executive’s visa, including the payment of all legal fees and costs associated therewith.

2. Duties and Duty of Loyalty. (a) Executive agrees to devote his entire business time, attention and energies to the OUTFRONT business. Executive will be Executive Vice President, Chief Revenue Officer of OUTFRONT and Executive agrees to perform all duties reasonable and consistent with that office and related to the OUTFRONT business, as the Chief Executive Officer

of OUTFRONT (the “CEO”) (or other individual designated by the CEO) may reasonably assign to Executive from time to time.

(b) During the Term, Executive assumes a duty to perform the obligations of Executive’s position with OUTFRONT in a loyal and diligent manner, including, among other things, avoiding conflicts of interest (e.g., leveraging business relationships, contacts or other assets for any personal gain or advantage or the gain or advantage of any person or entity other than OUTFRONT) and promptly informing OUTFRONT of any business opportunities Executive has been offered and that may be of interest to OUTFRONT. Executive represents and agrees that it shall be a violation of the obligations of this Agreement to, among other things, engage in or prepare to engage in competitive activity while employed by OUTFRONT (e.g., to plan, coordinate or prepare to start to engage in any competitive activity). If Executive desires to engage in outside business activities during the scope of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT, such activities must be fully disclosed in writing in advance to a member of OUTFRONT’s Legal Department so that OUTFRONT may evaluate whether such outside business activities violate the terms of this Agreement, with such evaluation and determination being made by OUTFRONT in its sole discretion. This paragraph shall not in any way limit any common law or statutory duties owed by Executive to OUTFRONT.

3. Compensation.

(a) Salary. For all the services rendered by Executive in any capacity under this Agreement, OUTFRONT agrees to pay Executive a base salary (“Salary”) at the rate of Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($620,000) per annum, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, in accordance with OUTFRONT’s regular payroll practices as they may exist from time to time. During the Term, Executive’s Salary may be increased, and any increase shall be made at a time, and in an amount, that OUTFRONT shall determine in its sole discretion.

(b) Bonus Compensation. Executive shall be eligible to receive annual bonus compensation (“Bonus”) during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT under this Agreement, determined and payable as follows:

(i) OUTFRONT agrees that Executive shall be eligible to be considered for participation in OUTFRONT’s Executive Bonus Plan (the “EBP”), i.e., OUTFRONT’s current bonus plan, or any successor plans to the EBP. Executive shall have an annual bonus target equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of his Salary (“Target Bonus”). Since the EBP is administered under procedures that are not subject to contractual arrangements, eligibility for consideration is no guarantee of actual participation (or of meeting any target amounts), and the precise amount, form and timing of the awards under the EBP, if any, shall be determined on an annual basis at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of OUTFRONT (the “Board”), or the appropriate committee of such Board. The Bonus for any calendar year may be subject to proration for the portion of such calendar year that Executive was employed by OUTFRONT.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s Bonus for any calendar year shall be payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, by no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Bonus was considered earned.

(c) Long-Term Incentive Compensation. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to be considered for participation in the OUTFRONT Media Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), or any successor plan to the LTIP, and shall be recommended for an annual grant with a Target Long-Term Incentive value equal to Eight Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($825,000). If OUTFRONT’s U.S. budgeted revenue for 2018 (excluding sports marketing and Canada-related revenue and adjusted for significant acquisitions or events) is exceeded, an increase in Executive’s Target Long-Term Incentive value beginning in 2019 by $175,000 shall be considered. However, since the LTIP is administered under procedures that are not subject to contractual arrangements, eligibility for consideration is no guarantee of actual participation (or of meeting any target amounts), and the precise amount, form and timing of the awards under the LTIP, if any, shall be determined on an annual basis at the sole discretion of the Board, or the appropriate committee of such Board.

4. Benefits. Executive shall participate in such vacation, medical, dental, life insurance, long-term disability insurance, retirement, long-term incentive and other plans as OUTFRONT may have or establish from time to time in which similarly situated senior executives participate and in which Executive would be entitled to participate under the terms of the plan. This provision, however, shall not be construed to either require OUTFRONT to establish any welfare, compensation or long-term incentive plans, or to prevent the modification or termination of any plan once established, and no action or inaction with respect to any plan shall affect this Agreement. Executive shall be eligible for five (5) weeks of vacation each year.

5. Business Expenses. During Executive’s employment under this Agreement, OUTFRONT shall reimburse Executive for such reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in the performance of Executive’s duties as are customarily reimbursed to OUTFRONT’s executives at comparable levels. Subject to paragraph ‎18, any such travel and other expenses shall be reimbursed by OUTFRONT as soon as practicable in accordance with its established guidelines, as may be amended from time to time, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the related expenses.

6. Non-Competition, Confidential Information, Etc.

(a) Non-Competition. Executive agrees that Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT is on an exclusive basis and that, while Executive is employed by OUTFRONT, Executive will not engage in any other business activity which is in conflict with Executive’s duties and obligations (including Executive’s commitment of time) under this Agreement. Executive further agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period (as defined below), Executive shall not directly or indirectly engage in or participate in, whether as an owner, partner, stockholder, officer, employee, director, agent of or consultant for, any business which at such time is competitive with any business, division, operation or other activity of OUTFRONT or any of its subsidiaries (i) with respect to which Executive had any responsibility, involvement or supervision, (ii) with respect to which

Executive had access to any Confidential Information (as defined below) that could benefit such competitor’s business or harm OUTFRONT’s business or (iii) where Executive would provide services of the same or similar nature as services performed by Executive for OUTFRONT, without the written consent of OUTFRONT, as applicable; provided, that this provision shall not prevent Executive from investing as less than a one (1%) percent stockholder in the securities of any company listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system. The Non-Compete Period shall cover the period during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT and shall continue following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, including by expiration of the Term, for the greater of (A) six (6) months or (B) for so long as any payments are to be made to Executive pursuant to paragraph ‎8(c) of this Agreement, unless Executive requests and OUTFRONT accepts a written request pursuant to paragraph ‎6(j) of this Agreement, if any.

(b) Confidential Information. Executive agrees that, during the Term and at any time thereafter, (i) Executive shall not use for any purpose or disclose to any third party, other than in performance of the duly authorized business of OUTFRONT, any information relating to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies which is non-public, confidential or proprietary to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies (“Confidential Information”), including any trade secret or any written (including in any electronic form) or oral communication incorporating Confidential Information in any way (except as may be required by law or in the performance of his duties under this Agreement consistent with OUTFRONT’s policies); and (ii) Executive will comply with any and all confidentiality obligations of OUTFRONT to a third party, which have been made known to Executive, whether arising under a written agreement or otherwise. Information shall not be deemed Confidential Information which (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Executive or at Executive’s direction or by any other person who directly or indirectly receives such information from Executive, or (B) is or becomes available to Executive on a nonconfidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to Executive. For purposes of this paragraph ‎6(b), the term “third party” shall be defined to mean any person other than OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies (and any of their respective directors and senior officers).

(c) No Solicitation. Executive agrees that, while employed by OUTFRONT and for the greater of: twelve (12) months thereafter or for so long as OUTFRONT is making any payments to Executive pursuant to paragraph ‎8(c), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) employ or solicit the employment of any person who is then or has been within six (6) months prior thereto, an employee of OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies; or

(ii) do any act or thing to cause, bring about, or induce any interference with, disturbance to, or interruption of any of the then-existing relationships (whether or not such relationships have been reduced to formal contracts) of OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies with any customer, employee, consultant or supplier.

Should OUTFRONT have reason to believe Executive is violating the terms of this paragraph ‎6(c), OUTFRONT may contact any individual(s) necessary to (A) determine the existence of a violation

and (B) enforce this paragraph ‎6(c), without being deemed to have violated the confidentiality terms of any written agreement between Executive and OUTFRONT.

(d) OUTFRONT Ownership. The results and proceeds of Executive’s services under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any works of authorship resulting from Executive’s services during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT and any works in progress resulting from such services, shall be works-made-for-hire and OUTFRONT shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all rights of every nature in such works, whether such rights are now known or hereafter defined or discovered, with the right to use the works in perpetuity in any manner OUTFRONT determines, in its discretion, without any further payment to Executive. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds are not legally deemed a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any rights in such results and proceeds which do not accrue to OUTFRONT under the preceding sentence, then Executive hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of Executive’s right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and/or other rights of every nature in the work, whether now known or hereafter defined or discovered, and OUTFRONT shall have the right to use the work in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner OUTFRONT determines, in its discretion, without any further payment to Executive. Executive shall, as may be requested by OUTFRONT from time to time, do any and all things which OUTFRONT may deem useful or desirable to establish or document OUTFRONT’s rights in any such results and proceeds, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate copyright, trademark and/or patent applications, assignments or similar documents and, if Executive is unavailable or unwilling to execute such documents, Executive hereby irrevocably designates the General Counsel of OUTFRONT (or his or her designee) as Executive’s attorney-in-fact with the power to execute such documents on Executive’s behalf. To the extent Executive has any rights in the results and proceeds of Executive’s services under this Agreement that cannot be assigned as described above, Executive unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights. This paragraph ‎6(d) is subject to, and does not limit, restrict, or constitute a waiver by OUTFRONT of any ownership rights to which OUTFRONT may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of being Executive’s employer.

(e) Litigation.

(i) Executive agrees that, to the fullest extent legally permissible, during the Term, and for the greater of: (A) twelve (12) months thereafter; or (B) during the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding, (x) Executive shall not communicate with anyone (other than Executive’s own attorneys), except to the extent necessary in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving OUTFRONT, other than any litigation or other proceeding in which Executive is a party-in-opposition, without giving prior notice to OUTFRONT; and (y) in the event that any other party attempts to obtain information or documents from Executive with respect to such matters, either through formal legal process such as a subpoena or by informal means such as interviews, Executive shall promptly notify OUTFRONT’s counsel before providing any information or documents.

(ii) Executive agrees to cooperate with OUTFRONT and its attorneys, both during and after the termination of Executive’s employment, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to matters in which Executive was involved prior to the termination of Executive’s employment. Executive’s cooperation shall include, without limitation, providing assistance to OUTFRONT’s counsel, experts or consultants, and providing truthful testimony in pretrial and trial or hearing proceedings. In the event that Executive’s cooperation is requested after the termination of Executive’s employment, OUTFRONT will (A) seek to minimize interruptions to Executive’s schedule to the extent consistent with its interests in the matter; and (B) reimburse Executive for all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by Executive in connection with such cooperation upon reasonable substantiation of such expenses within sixty (60) calendar days following the date on which OUTFRONT receives appropriate documentation with respect to such expenses, but in no event later than December 31 of the year following the year in which Executive incurs the related expenses.

(iii) Executive agrees that during the Term and at any time thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive will not testify voluntarily in any lawsuit or other proceeding which directly or indirectly involves OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies, or which may create the impression that such testimony is endorsed or approved by OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies, without advance notice (including the general nature of the testimony) to and, if such testimony is without subpoena or other compulsory legal process, the approval of the General Counsel (or equivalent position thereof) of OUTFRONT.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not preclude Executive from participating in any governmental investigation of OUTFRONT, including providing any information to governmental authorities about possible legal violations, and Executive is not obligated under this Agreement to provide any notice to OUTFRONT regarding Executive’s participation in any governmental investigation of OUTFRONT.

(f) No Right to Give Interviews or Write Books, Articles, Etc. During the Term, except as authorized by OUTFRONT, Executive shall not (i) give any interviews or speeches, or (ii) prepare or assist any person or entity in the preparation of any books, articles, television or motion picture productions or other creations, in either case, concerning OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, suppliers or customers.

(g) Return of Property. All documents, data, recordings, or other property, whether tangible or intangible, including all information stored in electronic form, obtained or prepared by or for Executive and utilized by Executive in the course of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall remain the exclusive property of OUTFRONT. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, OUTFRONT reserves the right, to the extent

permitted by law and in addition to any other remedy OUTFRONT may have, to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to Executive the following: (i) all amounts Executive may owe to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies at the time of or subsequent to the termination of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT; and (ii) the reasonable value of OUTFRONT’s property which Executive retains in Executive’s possession after the termination of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT. In the event that the law of any state or other jurisdiction requires the consent of an employee for such deductions, this Agreement shall serve as such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph ‎6(g) to the contrary, OUTFRONT will not exercise such right to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to Executive to the extent such offset would be a violation of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”).

(h) Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that, during the Term and for one (1) year thereafter, Executive shall not, in any communications with the press or other media or any customer, client or supplier of OUTFRONT or any of OUTFRONT’s affiliated companies, criticize, ridicule or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of OUTFRONT or any of OUTFRONT’s affiliated companies or any of their respective directors or senior officers or employees.

(i) Injunctive Relief. OUTFRONT has entered into this Agreement in order to obtain the benefit of Executive’s unique skills, talent, and experience. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any violation of paragraphs ‎6(a) through ‎(h) of this Agreement may result in irreparable damage to OUTFRONT, and, accordingly, OUTFRONT may seek to obtain injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of such paragraphs, in addition to any other remedies available to OUTFRONT, and Executive hereby consents and agrees to personal jurisdiction in any state or federal court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan.

(j) Survival; Modification of Terms. Executive’s obligations under paragraphs ‎6(a) through ‎(i) shall remain in full force and effect for the entire period provided therein notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement for any reason or the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that Executive’s obligations under paragraph ‎6(a) (but not under any other provision of this Agreement) shall cease if: (i) OUTFRONT terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined in paragraph 8(a)) or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason (as defined in paragraph 8(g)) and (ii) Executive provides OUTFRONT a written notice indicating Executive’s desire to waive his right to receive, or to continue to receive, termination payments and benefits under paragraphs ‎8(c)(i) through ‎(iii) and (iii) OUTFRONT notifies Executive that it has, in its sole discretion, accepted Executive’s request. Executive and OUTFRONT agree that the restrictions and remedies contained in paragraphs ‎6(a) through ‎(i) are reasonable and that it is Executive’s intention and the intention of OUTFRONT that such restrictions and remedies shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall find that any such restriction or remedy is unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application reduced, then such restriction or remedy shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable. Executive acknowledges that OUTFRONT conducts its business operations around the world and has invested considerable time and effort to develop the international brand and goodwill associated

with the “OUTFRONT” name. To that end, Executive further acknowledges that the obligations set forth in this paragraph ‎6 are by necessity international in scope and necessary to protect the international operations and goodwill of OUTFRONT and its affiliated companies.

7. Disability. In the event that Executive becomes “disabled” within the meaning of such term under OUTFRONT’s Short-Term Disability (“STD”) program and its Long-Term Disability (“LTD”) program while employed during the Term (such condition is referred to as a “Disability”), Executive will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment with OUTFRONT and its subsidiaries as of the date Executive first becomes eligible to receive benefits under the LTD program in which OUTFRONT’s senior executives are eligible to participate or, if Executive does not become eligible to receive benefits under such OUTFRONT LTD program, Executive has not returned to work by the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s Disability onset date. Except as provided in this paragraph ‎7, if Executive becomes Disabled while employed during the Term, Executive will exclusively receive compensation under the STD program in accordance with its terms. Thereafter, Executive will be eligible to receive benefits under the LTD program in accordance with its terms. If Executive has not returned to work by December 31st of a calendar year during the Term, Executive will receive bonus compensation for the calendar year(s) during the Term in which Executive receives compensation under the STD program, determined as follows:

(a) for the portion of the calendar year from January 1st until the date on which Executive first receives compensation under the STD program, bonus compensation shall be determined in accordance with the EBP (i.e., based upon OUTFRONT’s achievement of its goals and OUTFRONT’s good faith estimate of Executive’s achievement of Executive’s personal goals) and prorated for such period; and

(b) for any subsequent portion of that calendar year and any portion of the following calendar year in which Executive receives compensation under the STD program, bonus compensation shall be in an amount equal to Executive’s Target Bonus and prorated for such period(s).

Subject to paragraph ‎18 hereof, bonus compensation under this paragraph ‎7 shall be paid, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, by February 28th of the year(s) following the year as to which such bonus compensation is payable. Executive will not receive bonus compensation for any portion of the calendar year(s) during the Term while Executive receives benefits under the LTD program. For the periods that Executive receives compensation and benefits under the STD and LTD programs, such compensation and benefits and the bonus compensation provided under this paragraph ‎7 are in lieu of Salary and Bonus under paragraphs ‎3(a) and ‎(b).

8. Termination.

(a) (i) Termination for Cause. OUTFRONT may, at its option, terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement forthwith for Cause and OUTFRONT thereafter shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay Executive’s Salary or Bonus or provide benefits. “Cause” shall mean: (i) dishonesty; (ii) embezzlement, fraud or other conduct which would constitute a felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud or perjury; (iii) willful unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information; (iv) Executive’s

failure to obey a material lawful directive that is appropriate to Executive’s position from an executive(s) in Executive’s reporting line; (v) Executive’s failure to comply with the written policies of OUTFRONT, including OUTFRONT’s Code of Conduct or successor conduct statement as they apply from time to time; (vi) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement (including any representations herein); (vii) Executive’s failure (except in the event of his Disability) or refusal to substantially perform Executive’s material obligations under this Agreement; (viii) willful failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities or the destruction or failure to preserve documents or other material reasonably likely to be relevant to such an investigation, or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to destroy or fail to produce documents or other material; or (ix) conduct which is considered an offense involving moral turpitude under federal, state or local laws, or which might bring Executive to public disrepute, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably upon any of OUTFRONT’s businesses or those who conduct business with OUTFRONT and its affiliated entities. OUTFRONT will give Executive written notice prior to terminating Executive’s employment pursuant to (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) of this paragraph ‎8(a), setting forth the nature of any alleged failure, breach or refusal in reasonable detail and the conduct required to cure if capable of cure. Except for a failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, Executive shall have ten (10) business days from the giving of such notice within which to cure any failure, breach or refusal under (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) of this paragraph ‎8(a); provided, however, that, if OUTFRONT reasonably expects irreparable injury from a delay of ten (10) business days, OUTFRONT may give him notice of such shorter period within which to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances.

(ii) Voluntary Termination without Good Reason. Executive may, at his option, resign from his employment under this Agreement at any time without Good Reason (as defined below) by providing OUTFRONT with at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice, in which case, Executive shall be paid the Accrued Obligations (as defined in paragraph ‎8(c)), and such resignation shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement.

(b) Termination Without Cause; Termination for Good Reason. OUTFRONT may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time during the Term by written notice to Executive (“Termination Without Cause”). Furthermore, Executive may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Good Reason (as defined in paragraph 8(g) and in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 8(g)) at any time during the Term by written notice to OUTFRONT.

(c) Termination Payments/Benefits. In the event that Executive’s employment terminates under paragraph ‎8(b) during the Term hereof, subject to paragraph ‎18, Executive shall thereafter receive, less applicable withholding taxes, (x) any unpaid Salary through and including the date of termination, any unpaid Bonus earned for the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which Executive is terminated, any business expense reimbursements incurred but not yet approved and/or paid and such other amounts as are required to be paid or provided by law (the “Accrued Obligations”), payable within thirty (30) days following Executive’s termination date,

and (y) subject to Executive’s compliance with paragraph ‎8(f) hereunder, the following payments and benefits:

(i) a severance amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s then current base Salary described in paragraph ‎3(a), payable in accordance with OUTFRONT’s then effective payroll practices (the “Severance Payment”);

(ii) a prorated bonus for that portion of the year of such termination during which Executive actively rendered services, paid in accordance with the EBP (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”). The precise amount of bonus payable, if any, will be determined in a manner consistent with the manner bonus pay determinations are made for comparable OUTFRONT executives, and such bonus, if any, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, shall be payable by March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the termination occurs in accordance with EBP guidelines;

(iii) to the extent that the Termination Without Cause or termination for Good Reason is considered a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, and which results in the Executive’s loss of eligibility for medical and/or dental benefits under OUTFRONT’s then effective benefit plans, Executive shall be eligible for continued coverage under the existing plans applicable to Executive and/or continued medical and dental coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 1161 et seq. (“COBRA”) until the earlier of (A) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date of Executive’s termination, or (B) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for medical and dental coverage from a third-party employer. If Executive elects to continue Executive’s coverage under OUTFRONT’s medical and/or dental plans under COBRA or other applicable state law, and if Executive signs the release described in paragraph ‎8(f) hereof, OUTFRONT will provide Executive’s coverage at no cost for a time period up to twelve (12) months (assuming Executive does not become covered under another group plan sooner). Any COBRA or analogous state law coverage beyond this time period will be at Executive’s own cost. The amount OUTFRONT will pay for continued medical and/or dental COBRA coverage following Executive’s Termination Without Cause or termination for Good Reason, if any, will be treated as taxable income to the extent required by law and will be reported on a Form W-2, and OUTFRONT may withhold taxes from Executive’s compensation for this purpose. The parties agree that, consistent with the provisions of Section 409A, the following in-kind benefit rules shall also apply: (x) the amount of in-kind benefits paid during a calendar year will not affect the in-kind benefits, if any, provided to Executive in any other calendar year; and (y) Executive’s right to in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and

(iv) all outstanding equity awards granted to Executive on or after the date of this Agreement in connection with Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall accelerate and vest immediately in full on the date of Executive’s termination of

employment and be settled as soon as administratively feasible (but no later than ten (10) business days thereafter); provided, however, that with respect to awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on Executive’s termination date, in the event, and limited to the extent, that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception is required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such award under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (“Section 162(m)”), such awards shall vest if and to the extent the Compensation Committee of the Board certifies that a level of the performance goal relating to such awards has been met, or, if later, the Release Effective Date (as defined in paragraph 8(f)), and shall be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, further, that with respect to awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on Executive’s termination date, in the event and to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), is not required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such award, such award shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter.

The Severance Payment is in lieu of any other severance or income continuation or protection under any OUTFRONT plan, program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist (unless the terms of such plan, program or agreement expressly state that the payments and benefits payable thereunder are intended to be in addition to the type of payments and benefits described in this paragraph ‎8(c)).

Each payment under this paragraph ‎8(c) shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A. Any payment under this paragraph ‎8(c) that is not made during the period following Executive’s Termination Without Cause or termination for Good Reason because Executive has not executed the release described in paragraph ‎8(f), shall be paid to Executive in a single lump sum on the first payroll date following the last day of the Release Effective Date (as defined in paragraph ‎8(f)); provided that Executive executes and does not revoke the release in accordance with the requirements of paragraph ‎8(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined pursuant to procedures adopted by OUTFRONT) and has actually, or is deemed to have, incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Termination”) and if any portion of Executive’s Salary or Pro-Rata Bonus that would be paid to the Executive (for Termination Without Cause or termination for Good Reason) during the six-month period following such 409A Termination constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), such portion shall be paid to Executive on the earlier of (A) the first business day of the seventh month following the month in which Executive’s 409A Termination occurs or (B) Executive’s death (the applicable date, the “Permissible Payment Date”) rather than as described in the prior sentence, and remaining payments of Salary and/or Pro-Rata Bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive or to Executive’s estate, as applicable, by payment of Executive’s Salary on regular payroll dates commencing with the payroll date that follows the Permissible Payment Date and by payment of any Pro-Rata Bonus on the first payroll date that follows the Permissible Payment Date.

(d) Termination of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except as otherwise provided in paragraph ‎8(c) with respect to medical and dental benefits), participation in all OUTFRONT benefit plans and programs (including, without limitation, vacation accrual, all retirement and related excess plans and LTD) will terminate upon the termination of Executive’s employment except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such plans or programs and subject to any vested rights he may have under the terms of such plans or programs. The foregoing shall not apply to the LTIP and, after the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive’s rights under the LTIP shall be governed by the terms of the LTIP award agreements or certificates and the applicable LTIP plan(s) and this Agreement.

(e) Resignation from Official Positions. If Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT terminates for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned at that time from any and all officer or director positions that Executive may have held with OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies and all board seats or other positions in other entities Executive held on behalf of OUTFRONT, including any fiduciary positions (including as a trustee) Executive holds with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established by OUTFRONT. If, for any reason, this paragraph ‎8(e) is deemed insufficient to effectuate such resignation, Executive agrees to execute, upon the request of OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies, any documents or instruments which OUTFRONT may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such resignation or resignations and Executive hereby authorizes the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary of OUTFRONT or any of its affiliated companies to execute any such documents or instruments as Executive’s attorney-in-fact.

(f) Release and Compliance with Paragraph ‎6.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to payment by OUTFRONT of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to paragraph ‎8(c), within sixty (60) days following Executive’s termination of employment, (A) Executive shall have executed and delivered to OUTFRONT a general release in a form satisfactory to OUTFRONT and (B) such general release shall have become effective and irrevocable in its entirety (such date, the “Release Effective Date”); provided, however, that if, at the time any cash severance payments are scheduled to be paid to Executive pursuant to paragraph ‎8(c) Executive has not executed a general release that has become effective and irrevocable in its entirety, then any such cash severance payments shall be held and accumulated without interest, and shall be paid to him on the first regular payroll date following the Release Effective Date. Executive’s failure or refusal to sign and deliver the release or his revocation of an executed and delivered release in accordance with applicable laws, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in the forfeiture of the payments and benefits under paragraph ‎8(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the sixty (60) day period does not begin and end in the same calendar year, then the Release Effective Date shall occur no earlier than January 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which his termination occurs.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the payments and benefits described in paragraph ‎8(c) shall immediately cease, and OUTFRONT shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto, in the event that Executive materially breaches any provision of paragraph ‎6 hereof.

(g) “Good Reason” means, with respect to Executive and without Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following at any time during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT or any of its subsidiaries (including the actual termination date) by virtue of management outsourcing or otherwise:

(i) (A) a material reduction in Executive’s Salary or Target Bonus percentage in effect prior to such reduction; (B) a material reduction in Executive’s positions, titles, authorities, duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (C) the assignment to Executive of duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with Executive’s authorities, duties or responsibilities as they shall exist as of the commencement of the Term or that materially impair Executive’s ability to function as Executive Vice President, Chief Revenue Officer of OUTFRONT;

(ii) the material breach by OUTFRONT of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between it and Executive; or

(iii) the requirement that Executive relocate more than a 50 mile radius outside the Borough of Manhattan.

A termination of employment by Executive for Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement will be effective only if Executive gives OUTFRONT written notice of the termination setting forth in reasonable detail the specific conduct of OUTFRONT that constitutes Good Reason and the specific provisions of this Agreement on which Executive relied (“Notice of Termination for Good Reason”) no more than sixty (60) days after Executive first learns of the event constituting Good Reason. The termination of employment by Executive for Good Reason will be effective on the 30th day following the date when the Notice of Termination for Good Reason is given, unless OUTFRONT remedies the Good Reason condition within such 30-day period or elects to terminate Executive’s employment before the end of the 30-day period.

9. Death. In the event of Executive’s death prior to the end of the Term while actively employed, Executive’s beneficiary or estate shall receive (a) Executive’s Salary up to the date on which the death occurs; (b) any Bonus earned in the prior year but not yet paid; and (c) bonus compensation for the calendar year in which the death occurs, determined in accordance with the EBP (i.e., based upon OUTFRONT’s achievement of its goals and OUTFRONT’s good faith estimate of Executive’s achievement of Executive’s personal goals) and pro-rated for the portion of the year through the date of death, payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, by February 28th of the following year in accordance with EBP guidelines. In the event of Executive’s death after the termination of Executive’s employment while Executive is entitled to receive compensation under paragraph ‎8(c), Executive’s beneficiary or estate shall receive (i) any Salary payable under paragraph ‎8(c)(i) up to the date on which the death occurs; and (ii) bonus

compensation for the calendar year in which the death occurs in an amount equal to Executive’s Target Bonus and pro-rated for the portion of the year through the date of death, payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, in a lump sum no later than February 28th of the following year.

10. Equal Opportunity Employer; Employee Statement of Business Conduct. Executive acknowledges that OUTFRONT is an equal opportunity employer. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has read and fully understands the OUTFRONT Equal Employment Opportunity (“EEO”) policy and that Executive is in full compliance with the terms of the EEO policy. Executive further represents and warrants that Executive will comply with the EEO policy and with applicable Federal, state and local laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, alienage or citizenship status, sexual orientation, veteran’s status, gender identity or gender expression, marital status, height or weight, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by law or OUTFRONT policy during the Term. Executive also acknowledges that Executive has been furnished a copy of OUTFRONT’s Code of Conduct. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has read and fully understands all of the requirements thereof, and that Executive is in full compliance with the terms of such code. Executive further represents and warrants that at all times during the Term hereof, Executive shall perform Executive’s services hereunder in full compliance with the code and other applicable OUTFRONT policies, as may be amended from time to time, and with any revisions thereof or additions thereto.

11. Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given if served personally or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at their addresses above indicated or any other address designated in writing by either party, with a copy, in the case of OUTFRONT, to the attention of the General Counsel of OUTFRONT. Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed to have been given three (3) days following such mailing.

12. Assignment. This is an Agreement for the performance of personal services by Executive and may not be assigned by Executive or OUTFRONT except that OUTFRONT may assign this Agreement to any affiliated company of or any successor in interest to OUTFRONT or any of its affiliates, provided such successor agrees to assume OUTFRONT’s obligations under this Agreement.

13. New York Law, Etc. Executive acknowledges that this Agreement has been executed, in whole or in part, in New York, and Executive’s employment duties are primarily performed in New York. Accordingly, Executive agrees that this Agreement and all matters or issues arising out of or relating to Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely therein.

14. No Implied Contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation on OUTFRONT or Executive to renew this Agreement or any portion thereof. The parties intend to be bound only upon execution of a written agreement and no negotiation, exchange of draft or partial performance shall be deemed to imply an agreement. Neither the

continuation of employment nor any other conduct shall be deemed to imply a continuing agreement upon the expiration of the Term.

15. Entire Understanding. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter contained in this Agreement, and can be changed only by a writing signed by both parties.

16. Void Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to either party or to any circumstances, shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application were reduced, then such provision shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable, and shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

17. Supersedes Prior Agreements. With respect to the period covered by the Term, this Agreement supersedes and cancels all prior agreements and arrangements relating to Executive’s employment by OUTFRONT, a predecessor or any of its affiliated companies, whether formal or informal, written or oral, including, without limitation, Executive’s letter employment agreement, dated October 6, 2014.

18. Deductions and Withholdings; Payment of Deferred Compensation – Section 409A.

(a) To the extent applicable, it is intended that the compensation arrangements under this Agreement be in full compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement shall be construed in a manner to give effect to such intention. In no event whatsoever (including, but not limited to as a result of this paragraph ‎18 or otherwise) shall OUTFRONT nor any of its affiliates be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive (or Executive’s beneficiaries, successors or representatives) under Section 409A. Neither OUTFRONT nor any of its affiliates have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Executive harmless from any or all such taxes, interest or penalties, or liability for any damages related thereto. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection with Section 409A.

(b) Executive’s right to any in-kind benefit or reimbursement benefits pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or pursuant to any plan or arrangement of OUTFRONT covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for cash or another benefit. In addition, if any reimbursements would constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, the amount to be reimbursed will be limited to Executive’s lifetime and the lifetime of Executive’s eligible dependents and the amount eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.

19. Arbitration. If any disagreement or dispute whatsoever shall arise between the parties concerning this Agreement (including the documents referenced herein) or Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT, the parties hereto agree that such disagreement or dispute shall be submitted to arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures

(“Rules”). Such arbitration shall be confidential and private and conducted in accordance with the Rules. Any such arbitration proceeding shall take place in New York City before a single arbitrator (rather than a panel of arbitrators). The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages and waive, to the full extent permitted by law, any right to recover such damages in such arbitration. Each party shall bear its respective costs (including attorneys’ fees, and there shall be no award of attorneys’ fees). Judgment upon the final award rendered by such arbitrator, after giving effect to the AAA internal appeals process, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, OUTFRONT shall be entitled to seek injunctive, provisional and equitable relief in a court proceeding as a result of Executive’s alleged violation of the terms of paragraph ‎6 of this Agreement, and Executive hereby consents and agrees to exclusive personal jurisdiction in any state or federal court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan.

20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile, and all of the counterparts shall constitute one fully executed agreement. The signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.

21. Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the prior written consent of OUTFRONT and Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement.
