This excerpt taken from the CCO 8-K filed Nov 10, 2008. International Revenue increased approximately $12.5 million during the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 including the positive impact in foreign exchange of $18.5 million. Also contributing to the increased revenue was growth in China principally from the effects of the Olympics. Partially offsetting the revenue growth was a decline in France mostly from the loss of a contract for advertising on railways. Revenues in the United Kingdom also declined in the third quarter of 2008. The top five international advertising categories were retail, food products, telecommunications, automotive and entertainment. Leading markets during the quarter included China, Finland, Romania, Turkey, Poland, Russia and the Baltics. Operating expenses increased $21.1 million primarily from an increase of $16.9 million from movements in foreign exchange. This excerpt taken from the CCO 8-K filed May 9, 2008. International Revenue increased approximately $68.4 million, with roughly $46.4 million from movements in foreign exchange. The remainder of the revenue growth was primarily attributable to growth in China, Italy, Spain, Romania and Australia, partially offset by a revenue decline in the United Kingdom. The Company experienced weak advertising markets in both France and the United Kingdom during the quarter. China, Italy, Spain and Australia all benefited from strong advertising environments. The Company acquired operations in Romania at the end of the second quarter of 2007, which contributed to the revenue growth in 2008. The Company also benefited from political spending for the national elections in Italy. The revenue growth in Spain was primarily a result of the Barcelona bike contract, which the Company began operating in 2007. Operating expenses increased $68.2 million. Included in the increase is approximately $40.6 million related to movements in foreign exchange. The remaining increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in site lease and selling expenses as well as other operating expenses associated with the increase in revenue.
