1. Significant Accounting Policies

The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the ~~2011~~2012 Combined Form 10-K.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar ~~Advertising~~’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 13 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years and include 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant.

We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an aggregate of 441,~~600~~762,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013.

2010 Senior Credit Facility

On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media entered into a restatement agreement with respect to its existing senior credit facility in order to fund a new $100,000 Term loan A facility and to make certain covenant changes to the senior credit facility, which was entered into on April 28, 2010, as amended on June 11, 2010, November 18, 2010 and February 9, 2012 (the “senior credit facility”), for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as administrative agent. The senior credit facility consists of a $250,000 revolving credit facility, a $270,000 term loan A-1 facility, a $30,000 term loan A-2 facility, a $100,000 term loan A-3 facility, a $575,000 term loan B facility and a $300,000 incremental facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $200,000 based upon our satisfaction of a senior debt ratio test (as described below), of less than or equal to 3.25 to 1. Lamar Media is the borrower under the senior credit facility, except with respect to the $30,000 term loan A-2 facility for which Lamar Media’s wholly -owned subsidiary, Lamar Advertising of Puerto Rico, Inc. is the borrower. We may also from time to time designate additional wholly -owned subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers under the incremental loan facility that can borrow up to $110,000 of the incremental facility. Incremental loans may be in the form of additional term loan tranches or increases in the revolving credit facility. Our lenders have no obligation to make additional loans to us, or any designated subsidiary borrower, under the incremental facility, but may enter into such commitments in their sole discretion.

In addition to the amortizations of our Term facilities, Lamar Media may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding under the senior credit facility that would be applied first to any outstanding term loans. These payments, if any, will be calculated based on a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) at the end of each fiscal year. For fiscal years ending or after December 31, 2010, this percentage is subject to reduction to 0% if the total holdings debt ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal year.

As of March 31, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving senior facility. The revolving facility terminates April 28, 2015. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $6,989 letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2013 resulting in $243,011 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to maturity. The loans bear interest, at Lamar Media’s option, at the LIBOR Rate or JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate plus applicable margins, such margins being set from time to time based on Lamar Media’s ratio of debt to trailing twelve month EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit facility.

Lamar Advertising Company

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three ~~and~~ ~~nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, 2013 ~~2012~~ and ~~2011~~2012. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s net revenues are derived primarily from the ~~sale~~rental of advertising space on outdoor advertising displays owned and operated by the Company. ~~The Company relies on sales of advertising space for its revenues.~~ Revenue growth is based on many factors that include the Company’s ability to increase occupancy of its existing advertising displays; raise advertising rates; and acquire new advertising displays. ~~The~~and ~~Company’s~~its operating results are therefore affected by general economic conditions, as well as trends in the advertising industry. Advertising spending is particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions which affect the rates that the Company is able to charge for advertising on its displays and its ability to maximize advertising sales or occupancy on its displays.

Historically, the Company made strategic acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets to increase the number of outdoor advertising displays it operates in existing and new markets. While the Company has significantly reduced its acquisition activity over the last three years, it will continue to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise. The Company has financed its historical acquisitions and intends to finance any future acquisition activity from available cash, borrowings under its senior credit facility or the issuance of debt or equity securities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. During the ~~ten~~quarter ~~months~~ ended ~~October~~March 31, ~~2012~~2013, the Company completed acquisitions for a total cash purchase price of approximately $~~200~~5.3 million~~, which included the purchase of NextMedia Outdoor, Inc~~. ~~that closed October 31, 2012.~~

The Company’s business requires expenditures for maintenance and capitalized costs associated with the construction of new billboard displays, the entrance into and renewal of logo sign and transit contracts, and the purchase of real estate and operating equipment. The following table presents a breakdown of capitalized expenditures for the three months ~~and nine months~~ ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~ 2013 and ~~2011~~2012:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

~~Nine~~Three Months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 compared to ~~Nine~~Three Months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2011~~2012

Net revenues increased $3217.13 million or 36.85% to $~~877~~283.45 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 from $~~845~~266.2 million for the same period in ~~2011~~ 2012. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $2413.92 million, orwhich 3represents an increase of 5.35% over the prior period, an increase in logo sign revenue of $21.85 million, which represents an increase of 6 9.69% over the prior period, and a $42.46 million increase in transit revenue, which represents an increase of 1020.0% over the prior period.

18For the three months ended March 31, 2013, there was a $6.5 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which represents an increase of 2.4%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $6.5 million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $4.5 million increase in billboard revenue, a $1.1 million net increase in transit revenue and a $0.9 million increase in logo revenue over the acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable period in 2012.

The Company ~~recorded~~did not have any financing transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2013. However, during the same period in 2012, the Company recognized a ~~gain~~$30.0 million loss on ~~disposition~~debt ofextinguishment ~~assets~~related to the settlement of $a tender offer for Lamar Media’s then outstanding 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series B and 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series C.3 Approximately $14.4 million ~~for~~of the ~~nine~~loss recognized in the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, 2012 was a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discounts associated with the tendered notes.

~~Due~~Interest toexpense ~~the~~decreased ~~above factors, operating income increased~~ $~~13.~~3.2 million tofrom $~~153~~39.89 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, 2012, ~~compared~~ to $~~140~~36.5 7 million for the ~~same~~three ~~period~~months inended ~~2011~~March 31, 2013, primarily resulting from the Company’s refinancing transactions during 2012.

~~During~~The ~~the~~slight ~~nine~~increase ~~months~~in ~~ended~~operating ~~September 30,~~income ~~2012,~~and the ~~Company~~decreases ~~recognized~~in interest expense and loss on debt extinguishment resulted in a $3233.03 million decrease in net loss onbefore income taxes.

The increase in operating income and decrease in interest expense offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt discussed above resulted in a $6.0 million decrease in net income before income taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 48.0%, which is higher than the statutory rate due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible expenses and amortization, primarily non-deductible compensation expense related to stock based compensation calculated in accordance with ASC718.

As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $2.6 million, as compared to net income of $2.2 million for the same period in 2011.

Three Months ended September 30, 2012 compared to Three Months ended September 30, 2011

Net revenues increased $9.6 million or 3.2% to $306.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $296.7 million for the same period in 2011. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $6.9 million or 2.6% over the prior period, an increase in logo revenue of $0.7 million or a 5.0% increase over the prior period and a $2.0 million increase in transit revenue over the prior period, which represents an increase of 12.0% over the prior period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, there was a $6.0 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $6.0 million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $4.4 million increase in billboard revenue, a $0.3 million increase in logo revenue and a $1.3 million increase in transit revenue over the acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable periods in 2011. This increase in revenue represents an increase of 2.0% over the comparable period in 2011. See “Reconciliations” below.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $2.9 million or 1.7% to $169.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $166.7 million for the same period in 2011. There was a $0.9 million increase in operating expenses related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets and a $1.9 million increase in corporate expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the reduction in the number of non performing structures that were dismantled as compared to the same period ended in 2011.

Due to the above factors, operating income increased $8.1 million to $63.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $55.4 million for the same period in 2011.

Interest expense decreased $4.0 million from $42.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, to $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to a reduction in overall indebtedness over the comparable period in 2011.

The increase in operating income and decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $10.3 million increase in net income before income taxes. This increase in net income resulted in an increase in income tax expense of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 over the same period in 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 50.3%, which is higher than the statutory rate due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible expenses, primarily non-deductible compensation expense related to stock based compensation calculated in accordance with ASC718.

As a result of the above factors, the Company recognized net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $11.5 million, as compared to net income of $4.0 million for the same period in 2011.

Reconciliations:

Because acquisitions occurring after December 31, ~~2010~~2011 (the “acquired assets”) have contributed to our net revenue results for the periods presented, we provide ~~2011~~2012 acquisition-adjusted net revenue, which adjusts our ~~2011~~2012 net revenue for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2011~~2012 by adding to it the net revenue generated by the acquired assets prior to our acquisition of these assets for the same time frame that those assets were owned in the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013. We provide this information as a supplement to net revenues to enable investors to compare periods in ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012 on a more consistent basis without the effects of acquisitions. Management uses this comparison to assess how well we are performing within our existing core assets.

Acquisition-adjusted net revenue is not determined in accordance with GAAP. For this adjustment, we measure the amount of pre-acquisition revenue generated by the acquired assets during the period in ~~2011~~2012 that corresponds with the actual period we have owned the assets in ~~2012~~2013 (to the extent within the period to which this report relates). We refer to this adjustment as “acquisition net revenue.”

Reconciliations of ~~2011~~2012 reported net revenue to ~~2011~~2012 acquisition-adjusted net revenue for ~~each of~~ the three ~~and~~months ~~nine month periods~~ ended ~~September~~ March 3031, as well as a comparison of ~~2011~~2012 acquisition-adjusted net revenue to ~~2012~~2013 reported net revenue for ~~each of~~ the three ~~and~~months ~~nine month periods~~ ended ~~September~~March 3031, are provided below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

The Company has historically satisfied its working capital requirements with cash from operations and borrowings under the senior credit facility. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp., is the principal borrower under the senior credit facility and maintains all corporate operating cash balances. Any cash requirements of the Company, therefore, must be funded by distributions from Lamar Media.

Sources of Cash

Total Liquidity ~~at September 30, 2012~~. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 we had approximately $~~265~~318.75 million of total liquidity, which is comprised of approximately $3875.4 5 million in cash and cash equivalents and the ability to draw approximately $~~227~~243.30 million under the revolving portion of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility. We are currently in compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants under the senior credit facility and we would remain in compliance after giving effect to borrowing the full amount available to us under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility.

In addition, on October 30, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $535 million aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023. The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media, after the payment fees and expenses, of approximately $527.1 million. Lamar Media intends to use the proceeds of this offering to (i) repurchase in full its remaining 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 — Series B and remaining 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 — Series C and (ii) to fund the acquisition of NextMedia Outdoor, Inc., which closed on October 31, 2012 and other potential acquisitions that are currently being evaluated or that we may pursue in the future or to the extent not used to fund potential future acquisitions, to repay a portion of the indebtedness under our senior credit facility and (iii) for general corporate expenses.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally Generated Funds. The key factors affecting internally generated cash flow are general economic conditions, specific economic conditions in the markets where the Company conducts its business and overall spending on advertising by advertisers.

Credit Facilities and Other Debt Securities. Lamar must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to the senior credit facility and its outstanding debt securities.

Restrictions Under Debt Securities. Lamar must comply with certain covenants and restrictions related to its outstanding debt securities. Currently Lamar Media has outstanding, ~~in aggregate principal amount,~~ approximately $36.1 million 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 — Series B issued in August 2006 (the “6 5/8% Series B Notes”) and $101.1 million 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 — Series C issued in October 2007 (the “6 5/8% Series C Notes”), $350 million 9 3/4% Senior Notes due 2014 issued in March 2009 (the “9 3/4% Senior Notes), $400 million 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes ~~due 2018~~ issued in April 2010 ~~(the “7 7/8% Notes”)~~, $500 million 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes ~~due 2022~~ issued in February 2012 ~~(the “5 7/8% Notes”)~~ and $535 million 5% Senior Subordinated Notes ~~due 2023~~ issued in October 2012 ~~(the “5% Notes”)~~. The indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit the incurrence of indebtedness (including indebtedness under the senior credit facility), (i) if no default or event of default would result from such incurrence and (ii) if after giving effect to any such incurrence, the leverage ratio (defined as total consolidated debt to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA (as defined in the indentures)) would be less than (a) 6.5 to 1, pursuant to the 9 3/4% Notes indenture, and (b) 7.0 to 1, pursuant to the indentures related to the 6 5/8% Series B Notes, 6 5/8% Series C Notes, 7 7/8% Notes, 5 7/8% Notes and 5% Notes. Currently, Lamar Media is in compliance with these tests.

In19 addition to debt incurred under the provisions described in the preceding sentence, the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes permit Lamar Media to incur indebtedness pursuant to the following baskets:

The indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict its ability to incur additional indebtedness but permit the incurrence of indebtedness (including indebtedness under the senior credit facility), (i) if no default or event of default would result from such incurrence and (ii) if after giving effect to any such incurrence, the leverage ratio (defined as total consolidated debt to trailing four fiscal quarter EBITDA (as defined in the indentures)) would be less than (a) 6.5 to 1, pursuant to the 9 3/4% Senior Notes indenture, and (b) 7.0 to 1, pursuant to the 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and 5% Senior Subordinated Notes indentures. Currently, Lamar Media is not in default under the indentures of any of its outstanding notes and, therefore, would be permitted to incur additional indebtedness subject to the foregoing provisions.

In addition to debt incurred under the provisions described in the preceding paragraph, the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes permit Lamar Media to incur indebtedness pursuant to the following baskets:

•

up to $1.4 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility allowable under the 9 3/4% Senior Notes indenture (up to $1.5 billion of indebtedness under the senior credit facility allowable under indentures relating to the 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and 5% Senior Subordinated Notes indentures);

•

currently outstanding indebtedness or debt incurred to refinance outstanding debt;

•

inter-company debt between Lamar Media and its subsidiaries or between subsidiaries;

•

certain purchase money indebtedness and capitalized lease obligations to acquire or lease property in the ordinary course of business that cannot exceed the greater of $50 million or 5% of Lamar Media’s net tangible assets; and

• additional debt not to exceed $50 million ($75 million under the ~~indentures related to the~~ 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and 5% Senior Subordinated Notes indentures).

Restrictions under Senior Credit Facility. Lamar Media is required to comply with certain covenants and restrictions under the senior credit facility. If the Company fails to comply with these tests, the long term debt payments may be accelerated. At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 and currently, Lamar Media was in compliance with all such tests. We must be in compliance with the following financial ratios under our senior credit facility:

• a total holdings debt ratio, defined as total consolidated debt of Lamar Advertising Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of any date to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended asof ~~set~~6.00 ~~forth~~to ~~below:~~1.00;

Period	Ratio
March 31, 2012 through and including March 30, 2013		6.25 to 1.00
From and after March 31, 2013		6.00 to 1.00

•

a senior debt ratio, defined as total consolidated senior debt of Lamar Media and its restricted subsidiaries to EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters then ended of less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 and

•

a fixed charges coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA, as defined below, for the most recent four fiscal quarters to the sum of (1) the total payments of principal and interest on debt for such period, plus (2) capital expenditures made during such period, plus (3) income and franchise tax payments made during such period, plus (4) dividends, of greater than 1.05 to 1.

The definition of “EBITDA” under the senior credit facility is as follows: “EBITDA” means, for any period, operating income for the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis without duplication in accordance with GAAP) for such period (calculated before taxes, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash income or charges accrued for such period, one-time cash restructuring and cash severance changes in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 of up to $2,500,000 aggregate amount, charges and expenses in connection with the credit facility transactions and the repurchase or redemption of our 7 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and (except to the extent received or paid in cash by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries) income or loss attributable to equity in affiliates for such period) excluding any extraordinary and unusual gains or losses during such period and excluding the proceeds of any casualty events whereby insurance or other proceeds are received and certain dispositions not in the ordinary course. For purposes of calculating EBITDA, the effect on such calculation of any adjustments required under Statement of Accounting Standards No. 141R is excluded.

22Excess Cash Flow Payments. Lamar Media may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding under the senior credit facility that would be applied first to any outstanding term loans, commencing with the year ended December 31, 2010. These payments, if any, are determined annually and are calculated based on a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) at the end of each fiscal year. The percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow that must be applied to repay outstanding loans was set at 50% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. For fiscal years ending or after December 31, 2010, this percentage is subject to reduction to 0% if the total holdings debt ratio, as described above, is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal year. At December 31, 2012, the Company was not required to make a mandatory prepayment in respect of consolidated excess cash flow because there was a consolidated cash flow deficit, in accordance with the calculation as defined in the senior credit facility and the total holdings debt ratio was less than 5.00 to 1.00.

~~Excess~~The ~~Cash~~Company ~~Flow~~believes ~~Payments.~~that ~~Lamar~~its ~~Media~~current ~~may~~level beof ~~required~~cash ~~to make certain mandatory prepayments~~ on ~~loans outstanding~~hand, availability under the senior credit facility and ~~that~~future ~~would~~cash beflows ~~applied~~from ~~first~~operations ~~to any outstanding term loans, commencing with the year ended December 31, 2010. These payments, if any,~~ are ~~determined~~sufficient annually and are calculated based on a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) at the end of each fiscal year. The percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow that must be applied to ~~repay~~meet ~~outstanding~~its ~~loans~~operating ~~was~~needs ~~set~~through ~~at 50% for the~~ fiscal ~~year ended December 31, 2010~~2013. ~~For~~All ~~fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2012, this percentage is subject to reduction to 0% if the total holdings~~ debt ~~ratio,~~obligations asare ~~described~~reflected ~~above,~~on ~~is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of~~ the ~~last day of such fiscal year. At December 31, 2011, the~~ Company’s ~~was~~balance not required to make a mandatory prepayment since there was a consolidated cash flow deficit, in accordance with the calculation as defined in the senior credit facility and the total holdings debt ratio was less than 5sheet.00 ~~to 1.00.~~

The Company believes that its current level of cash on hand, availability under its senior credit facility and future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet its operating needs through fiscal 2012. All debt obligations are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.

Uses of Cash

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions were approximately $7725.78 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013. We anticipate our ~~2012~~2013 total capital expenditures will be approximately $100 million.

Acquisitions. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013, the Company financed its acquisition activity of $545.73 million with cash on hand. In addition, on October 31, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of NextMedia Outdoor, Inc., for a cash purchase price of $145 million. In the future, the Company will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities as they arise.

Tender Offers. On January 26, 2012, Lamar Media commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash, up to $700 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6 5/8% Notes. On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media accepted tenders for approximately $483.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6 5/8% Notes, out of approximately $582.9 million tendered, in connection with the early settlement date of the tender offer. On February 27, 2012, Lamar Media accepted tenders for approximately $99.2 million previously tendered and not accepted for payment and an additional $0.2 million tendered following the early settlement date. The holders of the notes tendered on or before midnight on February 8, 2012 received a total consideration of $1,025.83 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered; holders of notes tendered after such date received a total consideration of $1,005.83 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered. The total cash payment to purchase the tendered 6 5/8% Notes on February 9, 2012, including accrued interest up to but excluding February 9, 2012 was approximately $511.6 million and the total cash payment to purchase the tendered notes on February 27, 2012, including accrued interest up to but excluding February 27, 2012 was approximately $102.3 million, resulting in an aggregate payment in respect of the 6 5/8% Notes tender offer of approximately $613.9 million.

Note Redemption. On July 30, 2012, Lamar Media provided notice of its intent to redeem in full all $122.76 million of its 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 at a redemption price equal to 101.104% of the principal amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date of August 29, 2012. The redemption price will be due and payable on the redemption date upon surrender of the 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the notes. Lamar Media used cash on hand and borrowings under its senior credit facility to fund the redemption. Following the redemption, Lamar Media had approximately $137.2 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series B and 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series C outstanding.

On October 9, 2012, Lamar Media provided notice of its intent to redeem on November 8, 2012, an aggregate amount of approximately $66.1 million of its 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 consisting of $36.1 million of its 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series B and $30 million of its 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series C at a redemption price equal to 101.104% of the principal amount of outstanding notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date.

On October 30, 2012, Lamar Media provided notice of its intent to redeem in full on November 29, 2012, the remaining $71.1 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018—Series C at a redemption price equal to 101.104% of the principal amount of outstanding notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date.

Lamar Media Corp.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lamar Media for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Lamar Media and the related notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

~~Nine~~Three Months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 compared to ~~Nine~~Three Months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2011~~2012

Net revenues increased $3217.13 million or 36.85% to $~~877~~283.45 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 from $~~845~~266.2 million for the same period in ~~2011~~in 2012. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in billboard net revenues of $2413.92 million, orwhich 3represents an increase of 5.35% over the prior period, an increase in logo sign revenue of $21.85 million, which represents an increase of 6 9.69% over the prior period, and a $42.46 million increase in transit revenue, which represents an increase of 1020.0% over the prior period.

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~ March 3031, ~~2012~~2013, there was a $276.15 million increase in net revenues as compared to acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2011~~2012, which represents an increase of 2.4%. See “Reconciliations” below. The $276.15 million increase in revenue primarily consists of a $214.2 5 million increase in billboard revenue, a $1.91 million net increase in ~~logo~~transit revenue and a $4.0.9 million increase in ~~transit~~logo revenue over the acquisition-adjusted net revenue for the comparable period in ~~2011~~2012. ~~This increase in revenue represents an increase of 3.2% over the comparable period in 2011. See “Reconciliations” below.~~

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of assets, increased $1815.3 million or 39.70% to $~~509~~184.42 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 from $~~491~~168.09 million for the same period in ~~2011~~2012, which is primarily due to an $8.1 ~~There~~million ~~was~~increase ain non-cash compensation expense resulting from options granted during the period. Excluding the $128.32 million increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from non-cash compensation for the period, operating expenses related to the operations of our outdoor advertising assets increased $6.1 million and acorporate expenses increased $61.0 million or a 4.3% increase inover ~~corporate~~the ~~expenses~~same period in 2012.

Depreciation and ~~amortization~~ amortization expense ~~decreased~~and ~~$2.2~~gain ~~million~~on ~~for~~sale ~~the~~of ~~nine~~assets ~~months~~remained ~~ended~~relatively ~~September 30,~~unchanged ~~2012~~for ~~as compared to~~ the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2011~~2013, ~~primarily due to a reduction in the number of non-performing structures that were dismantled during the period~~ as compared to the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2011~~2012.

~~Due~~Lamar toMedia did not have any financing transactions during the ~~above~~three ~~factors~~months ended March 31, ~~operating~~2013. ~~income~~However, ~~increased~~during the same period in 2012, Lamar Media recognized a $1330.30 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the settlement of a tender offer for its then outstanding 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series B and 6 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015—Series C. Approximately $~~154~~14.04 million ~~for~~of the ~~nine~~ loss recognized in the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, 2012 ~~compared~~was toa ~~$140.7~~non-cash ~~million~~expense ~~for~~attributable to the ~~same~~write ~~period~~off inof ~~2011~~unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discounts associated with the tendered notes.

~~During~~21 the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Lamar Media recognized a $32.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the settlement of the tender offer for its 6 5/8% Notes. Approximately $15.0 million of the loss is a non-cash expense attributable to the write off of unamortized debt issuance fees and unamortized discounts associated with the tendered notes. See – “Uses of Cash – Tender Offers” for more information.

Interest expense decreased approximately $12.4 million from $129.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $117.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to the reduction in total debt outstanding as well as a decrease in interest rates resulting from Lamar Media’s recent refinancing transactions. See – “Uses of Cash Tender Offers” for more information.

The increase in operating income and decrease in interest expense offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt discussed above resulted in a $6.1 million decrease in net income before income taxes. Lamar Media recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 47.9%, which is higher than the statutory rate due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible expenses and amortization, primarily non-deductible compensation expense related to stock based compensation calculated in accordance with ASC 718.

As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $2.8 million, as compared to net income of $2.4 million for the same period in 2011.

Due to the above factors, operating income increased $8.1 million to $63.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $55.5 million for the same period in 2011.

The increase in operating income and decrease in interest expense described above resulted in a $10.3 million increase in net income before income taxes. This increase in net income resulted in an increase in income tax expense of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 over the same period in 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 50.1%, which is higher than the statutory rate due to permanent differences resulting from non-deductible expenses, primarily non-deductible compensation expense related to stock based compensation calculated in accordance with ASC 718.

As a result of the above factors, Lamar Media recognized net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $11.6 million, as compared to net income of $4.1 million for the same period in 2011.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Lamar Advertising Company and Lamar Media Corp.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with variable rate debt instruments issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Lamar Media. The information below summarizes the Company’s interest rate risk associated with its principal variable rate debt instruments outstanding at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012,~~2013 and should be read in conjunction with Note 8 of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the ~~2011~~ 2012 Combined Form 10-K.

Loans under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility bear interest at variable rates equal to the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Because the JPMorgan Chase Prime Rate or LIBOR may increase or decrease at any time, the Company is exposed to market risk as a result of the impact that changes in these base rates may have on the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the senior credit facility. Increases in the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the senior credit facility would result in increased interest expense and a reduction in the Company’s net income.

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012,~~2013 there was approximately $~~702~~376.25 million of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the senior credit facility, or approximately 3321.82% of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt on that date, bearing interest at variable rates. The aggregate interest expense for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 with respect to borrowings under the senior credit facility was $193.2 million, and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under this credit facility during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 was 3.30%. Assuming that the weighted average interest rate was 200-basis points higher (that is 5.30% rather than 3.30%), then the Company’s three ~~nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012~~2013 interest expense would have been approximately $101.49 million higher resulting in a $61.41 million ~~decrease~~increase in the Company’s ~~nine~~ net loss for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2012 net income~~2013.

The Company attempted to mitigate the interest rate risk resulting from its variable interest rate long-term debt instruments by issuing fixed rate, long-term debt instruments and maintaining a balance over time between the amount of the Company’s variable rate and fixed rate indebtedness. In addition, the Company has the capability under the senior credit facility to fix the interest rates applicable to its borrowings at an amount equal to LIBOR plus the applicable margin for periods of up to twelve months, (in certain cases, with the consent of the lenders), which would allow the Company to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in market interest rates. In the event of an increase in interest rates, the Company may take further actions to mitigate its exposure. The Company cannot guarantee, however, that the actions that it may take to mitigate this risk will be feasible or that, if these actions are taken, that they will be effective.
