“Clear Channel Outdoor’s results in 2007 were outstanding,” commented Mark P. Mays, Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor. “Once again, we chalked up double digit gains in revenue and OIBDAN with superior performance by our Americas and International operations. We exceeded our forecast for the roll-out of digital boards last year and are on course to accelerate the roll-out this year. Results like these don’t occur without a great team at the helm. We are proud of their performance in 2007 and are confident in their leadership as we capitalize on the many opportunities presented in 2008.”

“We are pleased with the continued revenue and OIBDAN growth in our Americas business in 2007.” stated Paul Meyer, Global President and COO. “As we look into 2008, we will continue to enhance our structures to provide advertisers with additional opportunities to reach their target consumers, including conversion to digital displays, which we believe will play an important role in our revenue and profit growth going forward. We also are pleased with the broad progress made across our International markets in improving profitability, from large, more mature markets like Spain and Italy to smaller developing markets, like Turkey and Poland. This momentum should continue in 2008, led by the strength of our Chinese business.”
