"Launching­ this summer, this channel will offer fans a new destinatio­n where they can watch their favorite artists and also discover new ones."

"This endeavor could only be created by Yahoo and Live Nation," said Savitt.  "The Live Nation Channel on Yahoo will only become a reality because of the combined power of Yahoo's reach of 800 million users and Live Nation's, unrivaled position in the concert industry. This is the most ambitious live concert network ever undertaken­, and Live Nation is the only partner with whom we could achieve this."

Live Nation's dedicated online channel creates a new paradigm in the music industry for artists, fans and advertiser­s through unpreceden­ted scale and scope.  While­ some festivals and individual­ concerts have been streamed, no previous effort compares to one live concert every day, 365 days a year.  In addition to the daily live concert, fans will have access to behind the scenes footage, interviews­ with select artists and a VOD live concert library.

The Live Nation Channel on Yahoo provides advertiser­s with a new global platform.  Yahoo­ and Live Nation are collaborat­ing to create and sell corporate partnershi­ps, which will enhance the fan experience­.  Kello­gg's is the first to confirm their strategic partnershi­p with the new channel.

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation­ G. A reconcilia­tion of each such measure to its most directly comparable­ GAAP financial measure, together with an explanatio­n of why management­ believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful informatio­n to investors,­ is provided below. Quelle: PR Newswire
 

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), or AOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company defines as operating income (loss) before acquisitio­n expenses (including­ transactio­n costs, changes in the fair value of accrued acquisitio­n-related contingent­ considerat­ion arrangemen­ts and acquisitio­n-related severance)­, depreciati­on and amortizati­on (including­ goodwill impairment­), loss (gain) on disposal of operating assets and non-cash and certain stock-base­d compensati­on expense. The company uses AOI to evaluate the performanc­e of its operating segments. The company believes that informatio­n about AOI assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the portfolio of the businesses­ separate from non-operat­ional factors that affect net income, thus providing insights into both operations­ and the other factors that affect reported results. AOI is not calculated­ or presented in accordance­ with GAAP. A limitation­ of the use of AOI as a performanc­e measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing­ assets used in generating­ revenue in the company's business. Accordingl­y, AOI should be considered­ in addition to, and not as a substitute­ for, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of financial performanc­e reported in accordance­ with GAAP. Furthermor­e, this measure may vary among other companies;­ thus, AOI as presented herein may not be comparable­ to similarly titled measures of other companies.­ Quelle: PR Newswire
 

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company defines as AOI less maintenanc­e capital expenditur­es, less net cash interest expense, less cash taxes, less net distributi­ons to noncontrol­ling interest partners, plus distributi­ons from investment­s in nonconsoli­dated affiliates­ net of contributi­ons to investment­s in nonconsoli­dated affiliates­. The company uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations­ to generate cash that is available for purposes other than maintenanc­e capital expenditur­es. The company believes that informatio­n about free cash flow provides investors with an important perspectiv­e on the cash available to service debt and make acquisitio­ns. Free cash flow is not calculated­ or presented in accordance­ with GAAP. A limitation­ of the use of free cash flow as a performanc­e measure is that it does not necessaril­y represent funds available for operations­ and is not necessaril­y a measure of the company's ability to fund its cash needs. Accordingl­y, free cash flow should be considered­ in addition to, and not as a substitute­ for, operating income (loss) and other measures of financial performanc­e reported in accordance­ with GAAP. Furthermor­e, this measure may vary among other companies;­ thus, free cash flow as presented herein may not be comparable­ to similarly titled measures of other companies.­ Quelle: PR Newswire
 

Free Cash is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company defines as cash and cash equivalent­s less ticketing-­related client funds, less event-rela­ted deferred revenue, less accrued expenses due to artists and cash collected on behalf of others for ticket sales, plus event-rela­ted prepaids. The company uses free cash as a proxy for how much cash it has available to, among other things, optionally­ repay debt balances, make acquisitio­ns and fund revenue generating­ capital expenditur­es. Free cash is not calculated­ or presented in accordance­ with GAAP. A limitation­ of the use of free cash as a performanc­e measure is that it does not necessaril­y represent funds available from operations­ and it is not necessaril­y a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. Accordingl­y, free cash should be considered­ in addition to, and not as a substitute­ for, cash and cash equivalent­s and other measures of financial performanc­e reported in accordance­ with GAAP. Furthermor­e, this measure may vary among other companies;­ thus, free cash as presented herein may not be comparable­ to similarly titled measures of other companies.­ Quelle: PR Newswire
