Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in the attachments to this press release) are non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., they are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles) and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.   Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  For definitions of and additional information regarding Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see the attachments to this press release.

 Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating performance of companies, including broadcast companies.  Accordingly, Barrington believes that Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful in assessing Barrington’s operating performance and its ability to meet its debt service requirements.  Barrington also believes that these measures allow a standardized comparison between companies in the broadcast industry, while minimizing the differences from depreciation policies, financial leverage and tax strategies.

• Gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 3.7% to $66.1 million from $63.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in local revenues of $1.9 million, or 5.0%, to $39.1 million and an increase in national revenues of $0.8 million, or 5.8%, to $14.3 million.  Political revenues decreased $1.3 million to $0.8 million.  Retransmission revenues increased $0.9 million, or 21.6%, to $5.0 million, and other revenues increased $0.1 million, or 1.7%, to $7.0 million.

• Net revenues (gross revenues less agency commissions and other direct costs) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 4.0%, or $2.2 million, to $56.8 million from $54.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. 

• Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, not including depreciation and amortization, were unchanged at $38.5 million.   

• Broadcast Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 5.7% to $20.7 million from $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010

 “Our continued focus on local sales produced sales that more than offset the slowdown in national sales during the quarter as well as the decrease in political revenues from 2010.  We remain committed to the Company’s three key priorities of re-engineering of our station-level operations, development of direct local sales strategies, and the growth of the stations’ local digital platforms.  Our focus on these areas contributed to record second quarter Broadcast Cash Flow results,” said K. James Yager, Chief Executive Officer of Barrington Broadcasting.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in the attachments to this press release) are non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., they are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles) and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.   Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  For definitions of and additional information regarding Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see the attachments to this press release. 

Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating performance of companies, including broadcast companies.  Accordingly, Barrington believes that Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful in assessing Barrington’s operating performance and its ability to meet its debt service requirements.  Barrington also believes that these measures allow a standardized comparison between companies in the broadcast industry, while minimizing the differences from depreciation policies, financial leverage and tax strategies.
