These excerpts taken from the CCO 8-K filed Dec 11, 2009. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if the Company believes it is more likely than not some portion or all of the asset will not be realized. As all earnings from the Companys foreign operations are permanently reinvested and not distributed, the Companys income tax provision does not include additional U.S. taxes on foreign operations. It is not practical to determine the amount of federal income taxes, if any, that might become due in the event the earnings were distributed. The operations of the Company are included in a consolidated federal income tax return filed by Clear Channel Communications, Inc. However, for financial reporting purposes, the Companys provision for income taxes has been computed on the basis that the Company files separate consolidated federal income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Income Taxes Our operations are included in a consolidated income tax return filed by Clear Channel Communications. However, for our financial statements, our provision for income taxes was computed on the basis that we file separate consolidated Federal income tax returns with our subsidiaries. The decrease in current tax expense of $84.6 million for 2008 when compared to 2007 is primarily the result of a decrease in Income (loss) before income taxes of $265.9 million which excludes the non-tax deductible impairment charge of $3.2 billion recorded in 2008. The deferred tax benefit increased $282.4 million to $247.4 million in 2008 compared to deferred tax expense of $34.9 million in 2007 primarily due to the $292.0 million of deferred tax benefit recorded in the post-merger period related to the impairment charges on permits and tax deductible goodwill. This deferred tax benefit was partially offset by additional tax depreciation deductions as a result of the bonus depreciation provisions enacted as part of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. Our effective tax rate for 2008 was 7.2%. The primary reason for the reduction in the effective tax rate from 2007 was the result of the impairment charge recorded in 2008. In addition, we did not record tax benefits on certain tax losses in our foreign operations due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those tax losses in the future. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 36%. The increase in current tax expense of $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 over 2006 was due primarily to an increase in Income (loss) before income taxes of $121.2 million. Deferred tax expense decreased $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to additional deferred tax expense of approximately $12.8 recorded in 2006 related to the filing of an amended tax return. The amendment was mainly due to a revised tax loss on the like kind exchange of certain
79
assets. In addition, the company recorded deferred tax expense of approximately $16.7 million in 2006 related to the uncertainty of our ability to utilize certain tax losses in the future for certain international operations. The changes noted above were partially offset by additional deferred tax expense of approximately $19.8 million recorded in 2007 as a result of tax depreciation expense related to capital expenditures in certain foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 42%. During 2006, we recorded current tax benefits of approximately $20.4 million related to tax losses on the disposition of certain operating assets and the filing of an amended tax return. The amendment primarily related to a revised tax loss on the like kind exchange of certain outdoor assets. This excerpt taken from the CCO 10-Q filed May 11, 2009. Income Taxes Current tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased $7.6 million compared to the same period of 2008, primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance on certain tax losses generated during the current period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was a negative 28.8%. The effective rate was impacted as a result of our inability to record tax benefits on net losses generated in the current period. Due to the uncertainty of future taxable income and limitations on net operating loss carryback claims allowed, we cannot realize deferred tax assets which arose in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and may arise as a result of future period net operating losses. Pursuant to the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred tax valuation allowances would be required on those deferred tax assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the tax expense recorded was at an effective tax rate of 8.3%, and was favorably impacted by the nonrecognition of tax on the $75.6 million book gain recognized from the sale of our 50% interest in Clear Channel Independent. Deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased $5.0 million compared to the same period of 2008, primarily due to additional valuation allowances recorded in certain foreign jurisdictions due to the uncertainty of the Companys ability to utilize deferred tax assets in the future.
