2 Safe Harbor Statement Forward Looking Language Certain statements in this presentation constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of iHeartMedia, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words or phrases "guidance," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimates," "forecast" and similar words or expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, such as statements about expectations regarding economic recovery and the recovery of advertising revenue, expectations regarding the Company's digital transformation, financial performance of our segments, our expected costs and savings of our modernization initiatives and other capital and operating expense reduction initiatives, our business plans, strategies and initiatives, our expectations about certain markets and our anticipated financial performance, liquidity and net leverage, are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Various risks that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this presentation include, but are not limited to: weak or uncertain global economic conditions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; increased competition; dependence upon the performance of on-air talent, program hosts and management; fluctuations in operating costs; technological changes and innovations; shifts in population and other demographics; impact of our substantial indebtedness; impact of acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions; legislative or regulatory requirements; impact of legislation, ongoing litigation, or royalty audits on music licensing and royalties; regulations and concerns regarding privacy and data protection; risk associated with our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases; risks related to our Class A common stock; and regulations impacting our business and the ownership of our securities. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on the Company's future results, performance or achievements. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this presentation may not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this presentation. Additional risks that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by any forward-looking statement are described in the Company's reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors" of iHeartMedia, Inc.'s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise stated in this presentation, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes information that does not conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as (i) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, (ii) Free cash flow, (iii) Free cash flow including net proceeds from real estate sales, and (iv) revenue excluding the effects of political revenue. Since these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as an indicator of operating performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies. This data should be read in conjunction with previously published company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These reports are available on the Investor Relations page of www.iheartmedia.com. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included at the end of this presentation. In addition, herein we have provided Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2022 and net leverage (as defined below) guidance for December 31, 2022, which reflects anticipated Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2022 and anticipated net debt as of December 31, 2022. A full reconciliation of the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net debt on a non-GAAP basis to its most-directly comparable GAAP metric, Operating Income and total debt, respectively, cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying with reasonable accuracy significant items required for the reconciliations. This presentation should be read in conjunction with the Q2 2022 earnings release of iHeartMedia, Inc. and Form 10-Q filing of iHeartMedia, Inc. available at www.iheartmedia.com Numbers may not sum due to rounding. In this presentation, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated Operating income adjusted to exclude restructuring expenses included within Direct operating expenses and Selling, General and Administrative expense, ("SG&A") and share-based compensation expenses included within SG&A expenses, as well as the following line items presented in our Statements of Operations: Depreciation and amortization; Impairment charges; and Other operating income (expense), net. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues. Free cash flow from (used for) continuing operations is defined as Cash provided by (used for) operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, which is disclosed as Purchases of property, plant and equipment by continuing operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Free Cash Flow including net proceeds from real estate sales is Free cash flow further adjusted to include net proceeds from real estate sales. See reconciliations in the Appendix. Net debt is Total debt less Cash and cash equivalents. Net leverage is defined as Net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. ¡Heart MEDIA
