NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and
reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation
have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. The enclosed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 1999.
Certain reclassifications were made to the 1998 financial statements to
conform with the 1999 presentation.
NOTE 2 -- INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is
computed based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during each period and includes shares issuable upon exercise
of stock options except in those circumstances where such options would be
anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average
shares.

NOTE 3 -- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133") which is
effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999, and requires all
derivative contracts to be carried on the balance sheet at their fair values.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 133 on its financial
statements.
NOTE 4 -- FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
In accordance with the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the Company is using
the local currency as the functional currency of its Canadian and Mexican
operating subsidiaries. Accordingly, assets and liabilities held outside the
United States are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect
at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated from the
functional currency into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate
prevailing during the period.

OUTDOOR SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income in the
stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are reflected currently in the consolidated statements of
operations.
NOTE 5 -- SEGMENTS
The Company has operations in 147 metropolitan markets throughout North
America which have similar operations, but are managed independently. No single
customer accounts for 10% or more of any segment's revenue. None of these
markets, individually, account for a significant portion of the Company's
assets, revenues or net income and, therefore, they have been aggregated by
geographical region as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion of the consolidated results of operations of the
Company for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and financial condition at
March 31, 1999 should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1998
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the related Notes included
therein.
USE OF EBITDA
The performance of an outdoor advertising business, such as the Company, is
measured by its ability to generate EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as operating
income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and
foreign currency transaction gain (loss). Although EBITDA is not a measure of
performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, the Company believes that EBITDA is accepted by the outdoor
advertising industry as a generally recognized measure of performance and is
used by analysts who report publicly on the performance of outdoor advertising
companies. Nevertheless, this measure should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating
activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating
performance or liquidity which is calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating results for the first quarter of 1999 include the operations of
the several acquisitions completed during 1998 (collectively the "1998
Acquisitions"), including Philadelphia Outdoor, completed on April 7, 1998,
Gator Outdoor Advertising, Inc., completed on May 19, 1998 and the acquisition
of Vendor, S.A. de C.V. and MM Billboard, S.A. de C.V. completed on July 1,
1998.
Comparison of Three Months ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998
Gross revenues increased by 16.0% to $189.9 million in the first quarter of
1999 compared to $163.7 million in the first quarter of 1998. Gross revenues
increased approximately 8% during the first quarter of 1999 compared to the
first quarter of 1998 for markets where the Company operated both in the 1999
and 1998 periods due to increased utilization. The balance of the increased
revenues were a result of the 1998 Acquisitions.
Agency commissions were 11.8% and 12.9% of gross revenues in the first
quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively, and decreased primarily as a result of a
slightly lower proportion of revenues generated through advertising agencies in
the 1999 period.
Net revenues increased by 17.4% to $172.2 million in the first quarter of
1999 from $146.7 million in the first quarter of 1998, primarily as a result of
the increase in gross revenues combined with the lower agency commissions as a
percentage of gross revenues for the first quarter of 1999.
Direct advertising expenses increased to $82.6 million in the first quarter
of 1999 compared to $74.9 million in the first quarter of 1998. This was
primarily a result of the 1998 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues,
direct advertising expenses were approximately 48.0% in the first quarter of
1999 compared to 51.0% in the first quarter of 1998 because of efficiencies
realized from economies of scale.
General and administrative expenses increased to $9.8 million in the first
quarter of 1999 compared to $8.6 million in the first quarter of 1998. This was
primarily a result of the 1998 Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues
general and administrative expenses decreased to
7
<PAGE> 10
approximately 5.7% in the first quarter of 1999 from 5.8% in the first quarter
of 1998 because of efficiencies realized from economies of scale.
As a result of the above factors, EBITDA increased by 26.1% to $79.8
million in the first quarter of 1999 from $63.3 million in the first quarter of
1998.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $35.4 million for the
first quarter of 1999 compared to $27.0 million in the first quarter of 1998,
primarily due to the 1998 Acquisitions, offset in part by certain assets
becoming fully depreciated during the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of
net revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 20.6% from
18.4% in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998.
Interest expense increased to $37.3 million in the first quarter of 1999
compared to $31.9 million in the first quarter of 1998, as a result of interest
expense related to obligations incurred in connection with the 1998
Acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenue, interest expense decreased to
21.6% for the first quarter of 1999 compared to 21.7% for the first quarter of
1998.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.9 million for the first
quarter of 1999 and $2.1 million for the first quarter of 1998. The overall
effective tax rate declined due to the Mexico acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital decreased to $16.3 million at March 31, 1999
compared to $37.8 million at December 31, 1998. This decrease resulted primarily
from the increase in accrued interest relating to the timing of interest
payments on subordinated debt and the increase in the current portion of
long-term debt, offset by the increase in accounts receivable and prepaid lease
rents relating to the 1998 Acquisitions.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $15.6 million to
$41.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $25.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily due to the increase
in net income, changes in working capital accounts and the effect of a larger
depreciation and amortization expense as a component of net income. Net cash
used in investing activities increased to $45.5 million in the first quarter of
1999 from $16.5 million in the first quarter of 1998, primarily because of
several small acquisitions made in the first quarter of 1999 and because most of
the 1998 Acquisitions did not occur until after the first quarter of 1998. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 million for the first three
months of 1999 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $14.5
million for the first three months of 1998, primarily because of net borrowings
under the senior credit facility used for acquisitions in the 1999 period.
The Company made approximately $10.2 million of capital expenditures during
the first quarter of 1999, an increase from approximately $7.2 million during
the first quarter of 1998. Currently, the Company has no material commitments
for capital expenditures, although it anticipates ongoing capital expenditures
in the ordinary course of business, other than for acquisitions, will be
approximately $38.0 million to $40.0 million in each of the next two years.
The Company believes that internally generated funds and available
borrowings under the senior credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy its
operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve to twenty-four months.
The Company may, however, require additional capital to consummate significant
acquisitions in the future and there can be no assurance that such capital will
be available.
8
<PAGE> 11
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company recognizes the need to ensure that its operations will not be
adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. The Company has identified
all significant internal information technology systems ("IT Systems") that will
require modification to ensure Year 2000 compliance ("Year 2000 Compliance").
Internal and external resources are being used to make the required
modifications and test Year 2000 Compliance for these IT Systems as well as
non-IT Systems (i.e., telephone, security, etc.) (collectively "Business
Systems"). The incremental cost to make the Business Systems year 2000 compliant
is estimated to be no more than approximately $700,000 of which approximately
$400,000 has been spent to date. The Company plans on completing all upgrades by
the end of the third quarter of 1999. These costs and the date on which the
Company plans to complete the Year 2000 modification and testing processes are
based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous
assumptions of future events including the continued availability of certain
resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However, there can
be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could
differ from those plans.
In addition, the Company has communicated with others with whom it does
significant business, primarily banks and suppliers of electricity, to determine
their Year 2000 Compliance readiness and the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to any third party Year 2000 issues. There can be no guarantee that
the systems of other companies on which the Company relies will be timely
converted, or that a failure to convert by another company would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
Based on the results of its review of the Year 2000 issues to date, the
Company does not believe that a contingency plan to handle Year 2000 problems is
necessary at this time and has not developed such a plan. The Company will,
however, continue to monitor the Year 2000 compliance program and evaluate the
need for a contingency plan to handle the most reasonably likely worst case Year
2000 scenario, which might be disruptions in service from suppliers in a few
isolated places in North America.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
When used in this report, the words "estimate", "expect", "anticipate",
"believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. The Company cautions that reliance on any forward-looking statement
involves risk and uncertainties, and that although the Company believes that the
assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are based
are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a
result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be
incorrect. The uncertainties in this regard include, but are not limited to,
those identified in the risk factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in the
Company's Prospectus dated July 24, 1997 included in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (Reg. No. 333-30957).
9
<PAGE> 12
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company carries some floating rate debt and thus is exposed to the
impact of interest rate changes. The Company mitigates this exposure through the
use of an interest rate protection agreement which allows it to manage its mix
of variable rate and fixed rate debt. There have been no significant changes in
the Company's interest rates or in its mix of variable rate and fixed rate debt
since December 31, 1998. The Company does not enter into derivative arrangements
for trading purposes. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates,
management would likely take actions to further mitigate its exposure.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
The Company's earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the
U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies as a result of its operations in
Canada and Mexico. Both the Canadian and Mexican currencies strengthened in
relation to the U.S. dollar during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Although the Company continues to evaluate derivative financial
instruments, including forwards, swaps and purchased options, to manage foreign
currency exchange rate changes, the Company does not currently hold derivatives
for managing these risks or for trading purposes.
