     Puerto Rico Radio Assets: NOL Utilization & Illustrative Valuation

 

The below reflects a summary of Hawkeye Management’s views of potential future Puerto Rico NOL utilization combined with the loss of foreign tax credits

 

OVERVIEW & COMMENTARY

 

 

Following the Talon transaction, Hawkeye’s advisors have forecasted that $82mm of NOLs will be available after utilization assuming the transaction closes by 9/30/2022

 

Hawkeye management and its tax advisors believe these NOLs should be able to be utilized to shield income in PR

 

The reduction in PR taxes is partially offset by an increase in tax liability in the US as Hawkeye will generate less foreign tax credits (from the reduction in PR taxes paid)

  Potential Lease Liability Detail

 

 

Talon is now requesting that the buyer of the radio assets assume its Guaynabo, PR facility lease

 

LEASE SUMMARY

 

 

Talon currently leases 92,584 SQF of real estate in Guaynabo, PR from the city of Guaynabo
The lease term runs until 2059 (including extensions) and the rent is $1.0mm per year through 2034
Talon subleases 76% of the SQF (excluding shared space) to Liberman
Through June 2024, Liberman pays only $100k per year in rent; beginning in July 2024, Liberman’s monthly rent will increase to $608k per year
In order to renew the lease in January 2026, Liberman will be required to make a $1.25mm payment in December 2025; Sparrow assumes that the likelihood of Liberman making this payment is low and that Liberman is likely to terminate the lease instead
The radio financials presented to us included $700k in facility expenses in 2022E, and the QoE included a $125k expense for allocated lease expenses to radio
The incremental cost to Hawkeye consists of the incremental lease expense through 2059 plus incremental facility costs of $885k per year through 2059, less payments from Liberman (through 2025), and then applies a discount rate to calculate a present value
Hawkeye Management believes there are a number of strategies to mitigate the financial impact of assuming the lease including:
Lease renegotiation with Liberman
Lease buyout / renegotiation with Guaynabo
Sublease opportunities
Relocated WAPA operations to Guaynabo and sell existing WAPA facility
