Debt costs stable and leverage declining for public OOH companies

Here are two tables, prepared by Moorgate Capital Partners, which calculate the weighted average cost of debt and leverage (net debt/adjusted cashflow) for the public out of home companies as of June 2024.  Some observations:

  • Debt costs were stable at the three public OOH companies during the second quarter of 2024.  Lamar has the cheapest weighted average debt costs at 5.0%.  Clear Channel Outdoor has the most expensive weighted average debt at 7.4%.
  • Debt/cashflow declined at all three public out of home companies during the second quarter of 2024.  Billboard Insider thinks a sustainable Debt/Cashflow is 5-6 times cashflow for out of home companies.  Clear Channel Outdoor is almost twice the sustainable level.
