HAMILTON, BERMUDA, July 23, 2019 - Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ/Prague Stock Exchange - CETV) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Operational and financial highlights:
•
TV advertising revenues in the quarter were broadly flat at actual rates, but increased 7% at constant rates.
•
Carriage fees and subscription revenues in the quarter increased 3% at actual rates and 11% at constant rates.
•
Costs charged in arriving at OIBDA in the quarter decreased 9% at actual rates and 3% at constant rates.
•
OIBDA margin in the quarter increased by 650 basis points to 40%.
•
Cash generated from continuing operating activities in the first half of 2019 increased 76% at actual rates to US$ 140.3 million.
•
Unlevered free cash flow in the first half of 2019 increased 52% at actual rates to US$ 146.0 million.
•
CME repaid a total of EUR 100 million of debt in the first half of 2019 using cash generated by the business.
•
Net leverage ratio declined to 2.6x at the end of June, down from 3.5x at the start of the year.

Michael Del Nin, Co-Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We could not have hoped for a stronger set of results this quarter. This unique portfolio of assets has delivered another impressive performance, once again exceeding our expectations and demonstrating the extraordinary growth potential of our businesses. In fact, in terms of constant currency revenue and OIBDA growth, this was the company’s strongest Q2 in four years. OIBDA margins expanded in every one of our country operations and reached a remarkable 40% across the group. But even more impressive was the greater than 50% surge in cash generation so far this year, which allowed us to further reduce our debt, bringing total repayments in 2019 to EUR 100 million and pushing our borrowing cost to its lowest level ever."

Christoph Mainusch, Co-Chief Executive Officer, added: "We were selective and strategic when designing our program grids so costs were lower overall while the main channel in each territory increased its audience share in prime time this year, and we increased the gap between us and our closest commercial competitor in prime time audience share in four markets. The TV ad market in the Czech Republic saw its strongest first half of the year since 2015 and spending on advertising rebounded in Romania during the second quarter. Year-to-date, we have seen double digit growth in carriage fees and subscription revenues in three of our segments."

In this release we refer to several non-GAAP financial measures, including OIBDA, OIBDA margin, free cash flow, unlevered free cash flow and constant currency percentage movements. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional information, including definitions and reconciliations to US GAAP financial measures.

For all forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy or are otherwise beyond our control and some of which might not even be anticipated.  Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and because our business is subject to such risks and uncertainties, actual results, our strategic plan, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could differ materially from those described in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release we refer to several non-GAAP financial measures, including OIBDA, OIBDA margin, free cash flow and unlevered free cash flow. We believe that each of these metrics is useful to investors for the reasons outlined below. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, US GAAP financial measures.
We evaluate our consolidated results and the performance of our segments based on net revenues and OIBDA. We believe OIBDA is useful to investors because it provides a meaningful representation of our performance, as it excludes certain items that do not impact either our cash flows or the operating results of our operations. OIBDA and unlevered free cash flow are also used as components in determining management bonuses.
OIBDA includes amortization and impairment of program rights and is calculated as operating income / loss before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and impairments of assets and certain unusual or infrequent items that are not considered by our co-Chief Executive Officers when evaluating our performance. Our key performance measure of the efficiency of our consolidated operations and our segments is OIBDA margin. We define OIBDA margin as the ratio of OIBDA to net revenues.
Following a repricing of our Guarantee Fees in March 2017 and April 2018, we pay interest and related Guarantee Fees on our outstanding indebtedness in cash. In addition to this obligation to pay Guarantee Fees in cash, we expect to use cash generated by the business to pay certain Guarantee Fees that were previously paid in kind. These cash payments are all reflected in free cash flow; accordingly we believe unlevered free cash flow, defined as free cash flow before cash payments for interest and Guarantee Fees, best illustrates the cash generated by our operations when comparing periods. We define free cash flow as net cash generated from continuing operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, net of disposals of property, plant and equipment and excluding the cash impact of certain unusual or infrequent items that are not included in costs charged in arriving at OIBDA because they are not considered by our co-Chief Executive Officers when evaluating performance. For additional information regarding our business segments, see Item 1, Note 19, "Segment Data" in our Form 10-Q.
While our reporting currency is the dollar, our consolidated revenues and costs are divided across a range of European currencies and CME Ltd.’s function currency is the Euro. Given the significant movement of the currencies in the markets in which we operate against the dollar, we believe that it is useful to provide percentage movements based on actual percentage movements (“% Act”), which includes the effect of foreign exchange, as well as like-for-like percentage movements (“% Lfl”). The like-for-like percentage movement references reflect the impact of applying the current period average exchange rates to the prior period revenues and costs. Since the difference between like-for-like and actual percentage movements is solely the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates, our discussion in this release includes constant currency percentage movements in order to highlight those factors influencing operational performance. The incremental impact of foreign exchange rates is presented in the tables accompanying such analysis.
