| DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) is a publicly traded company that sells out-of-home advertising on billboards, street furniture, airport advertising displays and other displays that it owns or operates in key markets worldwide. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CCO.” All references in these financial statements to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company has four reportable segments: America, which consists of operations in the United States (“U.S.”) excluding airports; Airports, which includes revenue from U.S. and Caribbean airports; Europe-North, which consists of operations in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), the Nordics and several other countries throughout northern and central Europe; and Europe-South, which consists of operations in Spain and, prior to their sales on March 31, 2023, May 31, 2023 and October 31, 2023, respectively, Switzerland, Italy and France. The Company’s remaining operations in Latin America and Singapore, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable segments, are disclosed as “Other.” Refer to Note 4 for additional details on the Company’s segments. During 2023, the Company’s plan to sell the businesses comprising its Europe-South segment met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and results of discontinued operations are reported as a separate component of Consolidated net loss in the Consolidated Statements of Loss, for all periods presented, resulting in changes to the presentation of certain prior period amounts. Refer to Note 3 for additional discussion of discontinued operations. All other notes to these consolidated financial statements present the results of continuing operations and exclude amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
