ITEM 2.02.                      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The Company issued a press release setting forth the results for its quarter ended March 31, 2013.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
 

ITEM 8.01.                      Other Events.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase authorization in addition to its prior $2 million authorization announced in February of this year. The Company has been authorized, but is not obligated, to repurchase up to an additional $1.5 million worth of its Class A and/or Class D common stock.  Repurchases will be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The timing and extent of any repurchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s Class A and/or Class D common stock and other factors, and subject to restrictions under applicable law. Radio One expects to implement this stock repurchase program in a manner consistent with market conditions and the interests of the stockholders, including maximizing stockholder value. Based on the closing stock prices of Radio One’s Class A and Class D common stock on May 13, 2013, the newly authorized repurchase would represent approximately 1.5% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

RADIO ONE, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Washington, DC: - Radio One, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROIAK and ROIA) today reported its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  Net revenue was approximately $99.1 million, a decrease of 3.7% from the same period in 2012, resulting primarily from a timing difference of two annual special events.  Station operating income1 was approximately $35.9 million, an increase of 8.6% from the same period in 2012. The Company reported operating income of approximately $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to operating income of $13.8 million for the same period in 2012. Net loss was approximately $18.1 million or $0.36 per share compared to a net loss of $79.2 million or $1.58 per share, for the same period in 2012.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One’s CEO and President stated, “I was pleased with our Q1 core radio revenue growth of 4.9% in a flat market, which helped us to grow the radio division's adjusted EBITDA by 10.7%. Our two largest travel based events, the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage and One Love Gospel Getaway, are both taking place in Q2 2013 compared to Q1 in 2012, which effectively moves approximately $7.6 million of revenue and $594,000 of station operating profit from Q1 to Q2 compared to prior year. Our Cable Television segment had Q1 revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth of 11.6% and 27.7%, respectively, and continues its positive growth momentum. During the first quarter we integrated our syndicated shows and corporate sales into Reach Media, and I expect a strong return to profitability for that business unit in the second quarter. The Company repurchased almost 1.0 million shares at an average price of $1.59 during the quarter, and I believe that will generate a great long term return for shareholders. Core radio pacings for Q2 are currently up low single digits; we are seeing strong national performance, particularly in larger markets, but widespread softness in local business.”

Net revenue decreased to approximately $99.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, from approximately $103.0 million for the same period in 2012, a decrease of 3.7%. Adjusting for the impact of moving our syndicated programming to Reach Media, net revenues from our Radio Broadcasting segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, increased 1.4% from the same period in 2012. Furthermore, adjusting for the timing difference for the Company’s annual Gospel Cruise event held in March 2012 versus during the second quarter of 2013, our core radio revenue from our stations increased 4.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Adjusting for the impact of moving our syndicated programming to Reach Media, Reach Media’s net revenues decreased 44.0% in the first quarter 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the timing of the “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage” which took place during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and generated revenue of approximately $5.9 million for Reach Media during that time. Further, adjusting for the timing difference for the “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage,” Reach Media’s revenue decreased 13.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. We recognized approximately $36.0 million and $32.2 million of revenue from our Cable Television segment during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Net revenues for our internet business decreased 12.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation decreased to approximately $72.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, from approximately $79.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of 8.6%. The decreased expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012 is primarily due to timing of the Company’s annual Gospel Cruise event and Reach Media’s “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage” event, both held in March 2012. Reach Media’s event and the One Love Gospel Getaway generated expenses of approximately $7.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to approximately $9.5 million compared to approximately $9.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease was due to the completion of amortization for certain intangible assets and the completion of useful lives for certain assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013, increased to approximately $1.4 million and related to a non-cash impairment charge recorded to reduce the carrying value of our Cincinnati radio broadcasting licenses.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $22.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, from approximately $23.7 million for the same period in 2012, a decrease of 6.3%. The Company made cash interest payments of approximately $20.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to cash interest payments of approximately $15.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The primary driver of the decrease was that through May 15, 2012, interest on the Company’s 12½%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) was payable, at our election, partially in cash and partially through the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes (a “PIK Election”) on a quarterly basis.  The PIK Election expired on May 15, 2012, and interest accruing on the Senior Subordinated Notes from and after May 15, 2012, accrued at a rate of 12½% and was payable in cash.

The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, was approximately $6.7 million, primarily attributable to the deferred tax liability (“DTL”) for indefinite-lived intangible assets. Because our income tax expense does not have a correlation to our pre-tax earnings, changes in those earnings can have a significant impact on the income tax expense we recognize. As a result, we believe the actual effective tax rate best represents the estimated effective rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. Accordingly, the Company used the actual effective tax rate as of March 31, 2013. This is a change from the method used for the $65.3 million recognized during the period ended March 31, 2012, which was based on the estimated annual effective tax rate.  The Company paid $8,000 and $60,000 in taxes for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the results of operations for our sold radio stations (or stations made the subject of a local marketing agreement). Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $903,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $15,000 for the same period in 2012. The activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013, resulted primarily from the sale of our Columbus, Ohio radio station, WJKR-FM (The Jack, 98.9 FM) in February 2013 which resulted in a gain of $893,000.  The income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes no tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

The increase in noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries is due primarily to greater net income generated by TV One during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

Supplemental Financial Information:
 
For comparative purposes, the following more detailed, unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are included.  These detailed, unaudited and adjusted statements of operations include certain reclassifications associated with accounting for discontinued operations.  These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or loss, or any other previously reported statements of operations, balance sheet or cash flow amounts.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Radio Broadcasting segment contributed the assets and operations of its Syndication One urban programming line-up to Reach Media. We consolidated our syndication operations within Reach Media to leverage that platform to create the leading syndicated radio network targeted to the African-American audience.  In connection with the consolidation, we shifted our syndicated programming sales to an internal sales force operating out of Reach Media.  Segment data for the three months ended March 31, 2012, has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Notes:

1           “Station operating income” consists of net loss before depreciation and amortization, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation, equity in income of affiliated company, income taxes, noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of subsidiaries, interest expense, impairment of long-lived assets, other (income) expense, loss (gain) on retirement of debt, (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, interest income and gain on purchase of affiliated company. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless station operating income is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets because station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our fixed assets and long-lived intangible assets, income taxes, investments, debt financings and retirements, overhead, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, and asset sales. Our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies as our definition includes the results of all four segments (radio broadcasting, Reach Media, internet and cable television). Station operating income does not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to station operating income has been provided in this release.

2           Certain reclassifications associated with accounting for discontinued operations have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on any other previously reported or consolidated net income or loss or any other statement of operations, balance sheet or cash flow amounts. Where applicable, these financial statements have been identified as “as adjusted.”   In addition, certain reclassifications have been made associated with the transfer and consolidation of our syndication operations within Reach Media.  These reclassifications occurred between the Radio Broadcasting segment, Reach Media segment and Corporate/Eliminations/Other.

3           For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Radio One had 49,861,964 and 49,994,974 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis for both basic and diluted, respectively.

4           “Adjusted EBITDA” consists of net loss plus (1) depreciation, amortization, income taxes, interest expense, noncontrolling interest in income of subsidiaries, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, loss on retirement of debt, loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, less (2) equity in income of affiliated company, other income, interest income, gain on retirement of debt and gain on purchase of affiliated company. Net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as “EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business because Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financing, our taxes, impairment charges, as well as our equity in (income) loss of our affiliated company, gain on retirements of debt, and any discontinued operations. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our fixed assets and long-lived intangible assets, capital structure or the results of our affiliated company. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in this release.
