If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be
material. A 10% change in our self-insurance liabilities at December 31, 2014 would have affected our net loss by approximately
$2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Asset Retirement Obligations
ASC 410-20 requires us to estimate our obligation upon the termination or nonrenewal of a lease, to dismantle and remove
our billboard structures from the leased land and to reclaim the site to its original condition.
Due to the high rate of lease renewals over a long period of time, our calculation assumes all related assets will be removed at
some period over the next 50 years. An estimate of third-party cost information is used with respect to the dismantling of the
structures and the reclamation of the site. The interest rate used to calculate the present value of such costs over the retirement period
is based on an estimated risk-adjusted credit rate for the same period. If our assumption of the risk-adjusted credit rate used to
discount current year additions to the asset retirement obligation decreased approximately 1%, our liability as of December 31, 2014
would not be materially impacted. Similarly, if our assumption of the risk-adjusted credit rate increased approximately 1%, our
liability would not be materially impacted.
Share-Based Compensation
Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718-10, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date
based on the fair value of the award. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires assumptions and
judgments about expected volatility and forfeiture rates, among other factors. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates,
our results of operations could be materially impacted.
