SALEM COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Information with respect to the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 is unaudited. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Salem Communications Holding Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Subsidiary), for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Supplemental Report included as an exhibit to the annual report on Form 10-K of Salem Communications Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2000.
NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that all derivatives be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value and that changes in fair value be recognized currently in earnings, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Certain provisions of SFAS No. 133, including its required implementation date, were subsequently amended. We adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended, in the first quarter of 2001 and its adoption did not have a material effect on our results of operations or our financial position.
NOTE 3. CONTINGENCIES
The Subsidiary and its subsidiaries, incident to our business activities, are parties to a number of legal proceedings, lawsuits, arbitration and other claims, including the Gospel Communications International, Inc. (GCI) matter described in more detail below. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Also, we maintain insurance which may provide coverage for such matters. Consequently, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact with respect to these matters as of March 31, 2001. However, we believe, at this time, that the final resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon the our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 6, 2000, GCI made a demand for arbitration upon Salem Communications Corporation (Salem). The demand, pending before an arbitration panel of the American Arbitration Association, alleges Salem and our subsidiary OnePlace failed to provide certain e-commerce software to GCI pursuant to a written contract between GCI and OnePlace, for which GCI seeks $5.0 million in damages. Salem has filed an answer to the demand, denying the factual basis for certain elements of GCIs claims and has asserted counterclaims against GCI for breach of contract. Although there can be no assurance that the GCI matter will be resolved in favor of Salem or OnePlace, each will vigorously defend the action and pursue the counterclaims against GCI.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Salems Report to which this Supplemental Report is attached as an exhibit, as well as our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Supplemental Report. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable from period to period because of our acquisition and disposition of radio stations and our acquisition of other media businesses.
6
The Subsidiary has substantially the same business operations as is reported for Salem in the Report, however, Salems unrestricted subsidiaries Salem Communications Acquisition Corporation (AcquisitionCo) and AcquisitionCos subsidiary SCA License Corporation (SCA) own and operate several radio stations, the results of which are excluded from the results of operations of the Subsidiary. The results of operations of radio stations WYLL-AM, WWTC-AM, WYLO-AM, WFIA-AM and WHKW-AM are included in the results of operations of Salem for the period they were owned or operated by AcquisitionCo or SCA and are presented in the information included in the Report, but are excluded from the results of operations of the Subsidiary and are excluded from the information included in this Supplemental Report.
The sections Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources are restated in this Supplemental Report to replace those sections contained in the Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET BROADCASTING REVENUE. Net broadcasting revenue increased $7.1 million or 31.4% to $29.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $22.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The growth is attributable to the increase in same station revenue and the acquisitions of radio stations and a network during 2000, partially offset by the sales of radio stations during 2000. On a same station basis, net broadcasting revenue improved $1.9 million or 12.2% to $17.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $15.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to an increase in network revenue due to increased network affiliations and quality programming, an increase in net revenue at radio stations we acquired in 1998 and 1999 that previously operated with formats other than their current format, an increase in program rates and increases in advertising time and improved selling efforts at both the national and local level. Revenue from advertising as a percentage of our gross broadcasting revenue increased to 40.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 35.2% for the same quarter of the prior year. Revenue from block program time as a percentage of our gross broadcasting revenue decreased to 43.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 51.8% for the same quarter of the prior year. This change in our revenue mix is primarily due to our continued efforts to develop more advertising revenue in all of our markets as well as the launch of our contemporary Christian music format in several markets.
OTHER MEDIA REVENUE. Other media revenue increased $0.2 million or 11.1% to $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $1.8 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase is due primarily to our increased revenue from banner advertising and streaming services, offset by the loss of revenues from the sale of certain assets which generated revenue from the sale of advertising in print and online catalogs.
BROADCASTING OPERATING EXPENSES. Broadcasting operating expenses increased $6.9 million or 54.3% to $19.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $12.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is attributable to operating expenses associated with the acquisitions of radio stations and a network during 2000 and 2001, promotional expenses associated with the launch of the contemporary Christian music format in several markets, and an increase in music license fees, partially offset by the operating expenses associated with three radio stations sold during 2000. On a same station basis, broadcasting operating expenses increased $1.1 million or 12.8% to $9.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $8.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to incremental selling and production expenses incurred to produce the increased revenue in the period.
OTHER MEDIA OPERATING EXPENSES. Other media operating expenses decreased $1.6 million or 39.0% to $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $4.1 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease is attributable primarily to the reduction of operating expenses incurred due to the sale of certain software products, assets and contracts. .
BROADCAST CASH FLOW. Broadcast cash flow increased $0.3 million or 3.0% to $10.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $9.9 million for the same quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of net broadcasting revenue, broadcast cash flow decreased to 34.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 43.8% for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the effect of stations acquired during 2000 that previously operated with formats other than their current format and the effect of the launch of the contemporary Christian music format in several markets. Acquired and reformatted radio stations typically produce low margins during the first few years following conversion. Broadcast cash flow margins improve as we implement scheduled program rate increases and increase advertising revenue on our stations. On a same station basis, broadcast cash flow improved $0.8 million or 11.4% to $7.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $7.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year.
8
CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses increased $1.3 million or 52.0% to $3.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $2.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to additional overhead costs associated with the acquisitions of radio stations and a network during 2000 and 2001.
EBITDA. EBITDA increased $0.7 million or 13.7% to $5.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $5.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, EBITDA decreased to 18.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 20.9% for the same quarter of the prior year. EBITDA was negatively impacted by the results of operations of our other media businesses acquired in 1999, which generated a net loss before depreciation and amortization of $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $2.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Broadcast EBITDA excluding the other media businesses decreased $1.1 million or 14.7% to $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $7.5 million for the same quarter in the prior year. As a percentage of net broadcasting revenue, broadcast EBITDA excluding the other media business decreased to 21.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 33.2% for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the effect of stations acquired during 2000 that previously operated with formats other than their current format, the effect of the launch of the Contemporary Christian music format in several markets and increased corporate expenses.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million or 42.9% to $7.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $4.9 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of radio stations and a network in 2000.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income increased $1.8 million to $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $0.3 million for the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to interest earned on a promissory note due from Salem. Interest expense increased $4.0 million or 160.0% to $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $2.5 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is due to interest expense associated with borrowings on our credit facility to fund acquisitions in 2000. Other expense, net decreased $0.3 million from $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 primarily due to decreased bank commitment fees.
BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. Benefit for income taxes as a percentage of loss before income taxes and extraordinary item (that is, the effective tax rate) was 35.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and 29.8% for the same quarter of the prior year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory income rate of 34.0% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
NET LOSS. We recognized a net loss of $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in broadcast cash flow.
AFTER-TAX CASH FLOW. After-tax cash flow remained unchanged at $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. After-tax cash flow was negatively impacted by the after-tax cash flow of our other media businesses. After-tax cash flow excluding our other media losses (net of income tax) decreased $1.0 million or 21.3% to $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $4.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in interest expense and corporate expenses, offset by interest income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents was $2.7 million and working capital was $8.8 million at March 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents was $3.6 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to cash used for capital expenditures and provided to related parties, offset by cash provided by operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $8.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to $2.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable.
Net cash used in investing activities was $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to $30.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cash used is due to cash used for acquisitions in 2000 ($26.5 million to purchase ten radio stations and a network for the quarter ended March 31, 2000), partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1.9 million for the same period of the prior year due to a cash provided to related parties during 2001, partially offset by payment of long-term debt associated with the purchase of the KRLA-AM transmitter site in February 2000.
We have historically funded, and will continue to fund, acquisitions of radio stations through borrowings, including borrowings under bank credit facilities and, to a lesser extent, from operating cash flow and selected asset dispositions. We have historically funded, and will continue to fund, expenditures for operations, administrative expenses, capital expenditures and debt service required by our credit facility and senior subordinated notes from operating cash flow. We believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit facility and proceeds from the sale of some of our existing radio stations will be sufficient to permit us to meet our financial obligations, fund our pending acquisitions and fund operations for at least the next twelve months.
At March 31, 2001 we have $100.0 million principal amount of 9 1/2% senior subordinated notes due 2007. In August 2000, we assumed the obligations of Salem as successor issuer under the indenture for the senior subordinated notes, in connection with the assignment of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Salem to the Subsidiary. The indenture for the senior subordinated notes contains restrictive covenants that, among others, limit the incurrence of debt by us and our subsidiaries, the payment of dividends, the use of proceeds of specified asset sales and transactions with affiliates. The senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries.
At March 31, 2001, we had $187.1 million outstanding under our credit facility. Since August 2000, we amended our credit facility to increase our borrowing capacity from $150 million to $225 million, lower the borrowing rates and modify current financial ratio tests to provide us with additional borrowing flexibility. The credit facility matures on June 30, 2007. Aggregate commitments under the credit facility begin to decrease commencing March 31, 2002.
Amounts outstanding under our credit facility bear interest at a base rate, at our option, of the banks prime rate or LIBOR, plus a spread. For purposes of determining the interest rate under our credit facility, the prime rate spread ranges from 0% to 1.5%, and the LIBOR spread ranges from 0.875% to 2.75%.
The maximum amount that we may borrow under our credit facility is limited by a ratio of our existing adjusted debt to pro forma twelve-month cash flow (the Adjusted Debt to Cash Flow Ratio). Our credit facility will allow us to adjust our total debt as used in such calculation by the lesser of 50% of the aggregate purchase price of acquisitions of newly acquired non-religious formatted radio stations that we reformat to a religious talk, conservative talk or religious music format or $30.0 million and the cash flow from such stations will not be considered in the calculation of the ratio. The maximum Adjusted Debt to Cash Flow Ratio allowed under our credit facility is 6.50 to 1 through December 30, 2001. Thereafter, the maximum ratio will decline periodically until December 31, 2005, at which point it will remain at 4.00 to 1 through June 2007. The Adjusted Debt to Cash Flow Ratio at March 31, 2001 was 4.74 to 1, resulting in a borrowing availability of approximately $12.4 million.
Our credit facility contains additional restrictive covenants customary for credit facilities of the size, type and purpose contemplated which, with specified exceptions, limits our ability to enter into affiliate transactions, pay dividends, consolidate, merge or effect certain asset sales, make specified investments, acquisitions and loans and change the nature of our business. The credit facility also requires us to satisfy specified financial covenants, which covenants require the maintenance of specified financial ratios and compliance with certain financial tests, including ratios for maximum leverage as described, minimum interest coverage, minimum debt service and minimum fixed charge coverage. The credit facility is guaranteed by all of Salems subsidiaries, except the Subsidiary which is the borrower under the credit facility, and is secured by pledges of all of the capital stock of Salems subsidiaries.
