Commenting on fourth quarter and full year 2012 results, the Company’s
President and Chief Executive Officer Vincent L. Sadusky said: “2012 was
a year of record-setting results at LIN Media. We closed on the largest
acquisition in our company’s history, achieved historic political and
digital advertising revenues and benefited from a rebound in the
automotive industry. As a result, we delivered record revenue, EBITDA
and EBITDA margin in both the fourth quarter and full year. Most
recently, we completed the first of two transactions to remove the NBC
joint venture overhangs, which is a significant positive development for
our company. Looking ahead, we are cautious about the state of the
economy and excited about the evolution of our company, continued growth
of our digital business and the contributions of our recent
acquisitions.”

solutions to clients nationwide. LIN Mobile targets clients who need
to effectively market their products and services to an increasingly
mobile-centric population by delivering targeted and localized media

Subsequent Event and Special Items
On February 12, 2013, the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries LIN
Television Corporation (“LIN Television”) and LIN Television of Texas,
L.P. (“LIN Texas”) entered into and closed a transaction agreement with
Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”), affiliates of NBCUniversal Media, LLC
(“NBC”), General Electric Company and General Electric Capital
Corporation (“GECC”) pursuant to which LIN Texas exited its joint
venture with NBC and the Company was released from its guarantee of the
$815.5 million note payable by the joint venture to GECC (the “GECC
Guarantee”). In exchange, LIN Texas made a $100 million capital
contribution to the joint venture, financed by a combination of cash on
hand, borrowings under LIN Television’s revolving credit facility, and a
new $60 million incremental term loan under LIN Television’s existing
senior secured credit facility (the “Comcast / GE Transaction”).
As a result of the Comcast / GE Transaction, the Company recognized a
taxable gain of $715.5 million (the majority for which the Company had
previously recognized a deferred tax liability). The Company estimates
that approximately $142 million of this gain will be characterized as
ordinary income and the remaining gain of $573 million as capital gains.
The Company intends to use its federal net operating loss carryforwards
(“NOLs”) (as of December 31, 2012, the Company has approximately $273
million of federal NOLs) to shelter the ordinary income. In order to
offset, in whole or in part, the tax liability related to such capital
gains, concurrently with the closing of the Comcast / GE Transaction,
the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with a newly
formed, wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary (“LIN Media
LLC”). Subject to stockholder approval and pursuant to the merger
agreement, the Company will be merged with and into LIN Media LLC with
LIN Media LLC continuing as the surviving entity (the “LLC Conversion”).
The LLC Conversion will have the effect of converting the Company’s form
of organization from a corporation to a limited liability company
structure with such conversion treated as a tax liquidation of the
Company for federal and state income tax purposes. The LLC Conversion is
expected to allow the Company to recognize a capital loss between its
tax basis in the stock of LIN Television and the fair market value of
this stock at the closing date of this transaction and use such capital
loss to offset, in whole or in part, the capital gains recognized in the
Comcast / GE Transaction.
The Company reflected the financial impact of the Comcast / GE
Transaction in its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012
results by recognizing a $94 million charge, which reflects the net
effect of the $100 million capital contribution noted above and the
reversal of a $6 million shortfall loan obligation to the joint venture
that had previously been recognized by the Company. In addition, the
Company recorded a $34 million income tax benefit associated with the
$94 million net charge, as well as a $28.4 million income tax expense
associated with the Company’s exit from the joint venture.

Access to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other
Supplemental Financial Data
The Company reports and discusses its operating results using financial
measures consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) and believes this should be the primary basis for evaluating
its performance. The preceding discussion of our results includes a
discussion of net loss per share, including a charge for a special item,
and includes a section detailing this item. Net loss per share,
including a charge for a special item, is a non-GAAP financial measure
and is not intended to replace net loss per share, a directly comparable
GAAP financial measure. Special items are items that are significant,
and unusual or infrequent and provide more comparable information about
the Company’s operating performance. Additionally, non-GAAP financial
measures such as Broadcast Cash Flow (“BCF”), Adjusted Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Free Cash
Flow (“FCF”) should not be viewed as alternatives or substitutes for
GAAP reporting. However, BCF, Adjusted EBITDA and FCF are common
supplemental measures of performance used by investors, lenders, rating
agencies and financial analysts. As a result, these non-GAAP measures
can provide certain additional insight about the market value of the
Company and its stations; the Company’s ability to fund acquisitions,
investments and working capital needs; the Company’s ability to service
its debt; the Company’s performance versus other peer companies in its
industry; and other operating performance trends for its business. The
Company makes available reconciliations of its operating income (loss),
a GAAP reporting measure, to BCF, Adjusted EBITDA and FCF on the
Company’s web site. In addition, the Company provides additional
information on its web site, at the same location, regarding historical
revenue by source, pro forma income statement information and certain
other components of cash flow. Interested parties should go to the
Investor Relations section of www.linmedia.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
The information discussed in this press release, particularly in the
section with the heading “Business Outlook,” includes forward-looking
statements about the Company’s future operating results within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company based these
forward-looking statements on its current assumptions, knowledge,
estimates and projections about factors that could affect its future
operations. Although the Company believes that its assumptions made in
connection with the forward-looking statements are reasonable, no
assurances can be given that those assumptions and expectations will
prove to be correct. Statements in this press release that are
forward-looking include, but are not limited to, local, national and
political advertising growth; changes in interactive, network
compensation, barter and other revenues; changes in direct operating,
selling, general and administrative, amortization of program rights and
corporate expenses; and cash programming, cash capital expenditures,
cash interest expense and principal amortization, cash tax payments and
effective tax rates. These forward-looking statements are subject to
various risks, uncertainties and assumptions which may cause these
expectations and assumptions not to occur or to differ materially from
those outcomes projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic
uncertainty; restrictions on the Company’s operations as a result of the
Company’s indebtedness; global or local events that could disrupt TV
broadcasting; softening of the domestic advertising market; further
consolidation of national and local advertisers, and the national sales
representation market; risks associated with acquisitions, and the
integration of any acquired businesses; changes in TV viewing patterns,
ratings and commercial viewing measurement; increases in news and
syndicated programming costs, and capital expenditures; changes in
television network affiliation agreements and retransmission consent
agreements; changes in government regulation; competition; seasonality;
effects of complying with accounting standards; potential influence of
certain stockholders, including HM Capital Partners I, LP and its
affiliates, and other risks discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (which are available on the Investor Relations section of www.linmedia.com,
or at www.sec.gov),
which are incorporated in this release by reference. The Company

forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, unless otherwise required to by applicable
law.
