Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect”, “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. Some of the key factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

risks related to our substantial indebtedness and/or our ability to raise capital;
provisions of our debt instruments, including the agreement dated as of March 17, 2023, or the 2023 Credit Agreement, which governs our current credit facility, or the 2023 Credit Facility, the terms of which restrict certain aspects of the operation of our business;
our continued compliance with all of our obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement, including compliance with financial covenants and ratios thereunder;
the impact of changing preferences, if any, among audiences favoring newer forms of media, including digital and other forms of such media, over traditional media, including television and radio;
the ability to keep up with rapid technological and other changes, and compete effectively, in new forms of media, including digital media;
the impact of existing and possible additional legislative and/or regulatory action, as well as evolving industry standards applying to our business;
the ability to manage our growth effectively, including the ability to integrate successfully recently acquired businesses, particularly with respect to the global expansion of our digital operations;
the ability to hire and retain qualified personnel;
the ability to establish and maintain internal financial and reporting systems that are of the type required of U.S. public companies;

Related Party

Substantially all of the Company’s television stations are Univision- or UniMás-affiliated television stations. The network affiliation agreement with TelevisaUnivision provides certain of the Company’s owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast TelvisaUnivision’s primary Univision network and UniMás network programming in their respective markets. Under the network affiliation agreement, the Company retains the right to sell no less than four minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast Univision network programming, and the right to sell approximately four and a half minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast UniMás network programming, subject to adjustment from time to time by TelevisaUnivision.

Under the network affiliation agreement, TelevisaUnivision acts as the Company’s exclusive third-party sales representative for the sale of certain national advertising on the Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations, and the Company pays certain sales representation fees to TelevisaUnivision relating to sales of all advertising for broadcast on its Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations.

 


 

During each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount the Company paid TelevisaUnivision in this capacity was $1.4 million. These amounts were included in Direct Operating Expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also generates revenue under two marketing and sales agreements with TelevisaUnivision, which give it the right to manage the marketing and sales operations of TelevisaUnivision-owned Univision affiliates in three markets – Albuquerque, Boston and Denver.

On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into the current affiliation agreement which superseded and replaced its prior affiliation agreements with TelevisaUnivision. Additionally, on the same date, the Company entered into a proxy agreement and marketing and sales agreement with TelevisaUnivision, each of which superseded and replaced the prior comparable agreements with TelevisaUnivision. The term of each of these current agreements expires on December 31, 2026 for all of the Company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations, except that each current agreement expired on December 31, 2021 with respect to the Company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations in Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C.

Under the Company’s current proxy agreement with TelevisaUnivision, the Company grants TelevisaUnivision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for its Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to the Company by TelevisaUnivision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with multichannel video programming distributors, (“MVPDs”). As of March 31, 2024, the amount due to the Company from TelevisaUnivision was $1.9 million related to the agreements for the carriage of its Univision and UniMás-affiliated television station signals. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, retransmission consent revenue accounted for $9.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of which $6.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively, relate to the TelevisaUnivision proxy agreement.

TelevisaUnivision currently owns approximately 10% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-converted basis. The Company’s Class U common stock, all of which is held by TelevisaUnivision, has limited voting rights and does not include the right to elect directors. Each share of Class U common stock is automatically convertible into one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or combinations) in connection with any transfer of such shares of Class U common stock to a third party that is not an affiliate of TelevisaUnivision. In addition, as the holder of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class U common stock, so long as TelevisaUnivision holds a certain number of shares of Class U common stock, the Company may not, without the consent of TelevisaUnivision, merge, consolidate or enter into a business combination, dissolve or liquidate the Company or dispose of any interest in any FCC license with respect to television stations which are affiliates of TelevisaUnivision, among other things.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures all stock-based awards using a fair value method and recognizes the related stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Restricted Stock Units

Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units ("RSUs") is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally between 1 to 4 years.

The following is a summary of non-vested restricted stock units granted (in thousands, except grant date fair value data):

Stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs was $4.9 million and $4.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $21.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to grants of RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Performance Stock Units

In connection with the hiring of the Company's CEO in July 2023, the Company has granted the CEO Performance Stock Units ("PSUs"), which are subject to both time-based vesting conditions and market-based conditions. Both the service and market conditions must be satisfied for the PSUs to vest. The PSUs consist of five equal tranches (each, a "Performance Tranche"), based on achievement of a share price condition if the Company achieves share price targets of $5.75, $7.25, $9.00, $11.20, and $13.75,

10


 

respectively, over 30 consecutive trading days during a performance period commencing on July 1, 2023 and ending on July 1, 2028. The fair value of each of the Performance Tranches was $0.8 million, $0.7 million, $0.7 million, $0.6 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, and have a grant date fair value per share of restricted stock of $3.98, $3.64, $3.31, $2.93, and $2.58, respectively. To the extent that any of the performance-based requirements are met, the Company's CEO must also provide continued service to the Company through at least July 1, 2024 to receive any shares of common stock underlying the PSUs and through July 1, 2028 to receive all of the shares of common stock underlying the PSUs that have satisfied the applicable market-based requirement. The maximum number of shares that can be earned under this PSU grant is 1,000,000 shares, with 20% of the total award allocated to each Performance Tranche. Between 0% and 100% of each Performance Tranche of the PSUs will vest on each of the tranche dates.

Additionally, in connection with the annual grant in January 2024, the Company has granted PSUs to certain employees, which are subject to both time-based vesting conditions and market-based conditions. Both the service and market conditions must be satisfied for the PSUs to vest. The PSUs consist of four equal tranches (each, a "Performance Tranche"), based on achievement of a share price condition if the Company achieves share price targets of $4.83, $5.65, $7.15, and $8.90, respectively, over 30 consecutive trading days during a performance period commencing on January 25, 2024 and ending on January 25, 2029. The fair value of each of the Performance Tranches was $0.6 million, $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, and have a grant date fair value per share of restricted stock of $4.16, $3.98, $3.66, and $3.32, respectively. To the extent that any of the performance-based requirements are met, the grantees must also provide continued service to the Company through at least January 25, 2025 to receive any shares of common stock underlying the PSUs and through January 25, 2029 to receive all of the shares of common stock underlying the PSUs that have satisfied the applicable market-based requirement. The maximum number of shares that can be earned under this PSU grant is 600,000 shares, with 25% of the total award allocated to each Performance Tranche. Between 0% and 100% of each Performance Tranche of the PSUs will vest on each of the tranche dates.

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to the PSUs using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs is based on a performance measurement of 100%. The compensation expense will not be reversed even if the performance metrics are not met.

Stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs was $0.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to PSUs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $4.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to grants of PSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

The grant date fair value for each PSU was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model that incorporates option-pricing inputs covering the period from the grant date through the end of the performance period.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, all dilutive securities have been excluded as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on loss per share. The number of securities whose conversion would result in an incremental number of shares that would be included in determining the weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share if their effect was not antidilutive was 1,235,452 equivalent shares of dilutive securities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, a total of 1,870,073 shares of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise prices of the dilutive securities were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Impairment

The Company has identified each of its three operating segments to be separate reporting units: digital, television, and audio. The carrying values of the reporting units are determined by allocating all applicable assets (including goodwill) and liabilities based upon the unit in which the assets are employed and to which the liabilities relate, considering the methodologies utilized to determine the fair value of the reporting units.

Goodwill and indefinite life intangibles are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The annual testing date is October 1.

As of the most recent annual goodwill testing date, October 1, 2023, there was $50.1 million of goodwill in the digital reporting unit. Based on the assumptions and estimates discussed in the Company's 2023 10-K, the fair value of the digital reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 28%, resulting in no impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2023.

On March 4, 2024, the Company received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its Authorized Sales Partners ("ASP") program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including the Company, by July 1, 2024. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 ASP revenue from Meta represented approximately 53% of the Company's consolidated revenue, and 63% of the Company's digital segment revenue. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, ASP revenue from Meta represented approximately 53% and 51%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue, and 62% and 62% of the Company's digital segment revenue, respectively. The Company expects a significant loss of future revenue due to the termination of the ASP by Meta. As a result, the Company updated its internal forecasts of future performance and determined that a triggering event had occurred during the first quarter of 2024 that required interim impairment tests.

As a result, the Company conducted a review of certain of its long-lived assets using a two-step approach. In the first step, the carrying value of the asset group is compared to the projected undiscounted cash flows to determine recoverability. If the asset carrying value is not recoverable, then the fair value of the asset group is determined in the second step using an income approach. The income approach requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and useful lives.

12


 

Based on the assumptions and estimates described above, the carrying values of long-lived assets in the digital reporting unit exceeded their fair values. As a result, the Company performed the second step analysis, resulting in intangibles subject to amortization impairment charge of $14.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, related to the impending termination by Meta of its ASP program.

The Company also conducted a review of the fair value of the digital reporting unit in the first quarter of 2024. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was determined by using a combination of a market approach and an income approach. The market approach estimates fair value by applying sales, earnings and cash flow multiples to the reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics to the Company’s reporting units. The market approach requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as selecting comparable companies and comparable transactions and transaction premiums.

The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit. The income approach also requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. The Company estimated the discount rate on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the digital media industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to the Company’s reporting units. The Company also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the digital media industries. The Company estimated its revenue projections and profit margin projections based on internal forecasts about future performance.

Based on the assumptions and estimates described above, the Company concluded that the digital reporting unit carrying value exceeded its fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $35.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

Treasury Stock

On March 1, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company's Class A common stock. Under this share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to purchase shares of its Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors.

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares of its Class A common stock under the new share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $11.3 million, or an average price per share of $6.43.

Credit Facility

On November 30, 2017, the Company entered into the 2017 Credit Facility pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Facility consisted of a $300.0 million senior secured Term Loan B Facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”), which was drawn in full.

The Company’s borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility bore interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 2.75%; or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 1.75%. As of March 16, 2023, the interest rate on the Company's Term Loan B was 7.38%. The Term Loan B Facility had an expiration date on November 30, 2024.

On March 17, 2023 (the “2023 Closing Date”), the Company entered into the 2023 Credit Facility, pursuant to the 2023 Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto as Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually each a “Lender”). The 2023 Credit Agreement amended, restated and replaced in its entirety the 2017 Credit Agreement.

On the 2023 Closing Date, the Company repaid in full all of the outstanding obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement and accounted for this repayment as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 470, "Debt". The repayment resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.6 million, which included a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in the amount of $1.1 million.

13


 

As provided for in the 2023 Credit Agreement, the 2023 Credit Facility consists of (i) a $200.0 million senior secured Term A Facility (the "Term A Facility"), which was drawn in full on the 2023 Closing Date, and (ii) a $75.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), of which $11.5 million was drawn on the 2023 Closing Date. In addition, the 2023 Credit Agreement provides that the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Credit Facility by an additional amount equal to $100.0 million plus the amount that would result in the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio (as such term is used in the 2023 Credit Agreement) not exceeding 2.25 to 1.0, subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions.

Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Facility were used on the 2023 Closing Date (a) to repay in full all of the outstanding obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2017 Credit Facility, (b) to pay fees and expenses in connection the 2023 Credit Facility and (c) for general corporate purposes. The 2023 Credit Facility matures on March 17, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”).

The 2023 Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and those subsidiaries’ assets.

The Company’s borrowings under the 2023 Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 2.50% and 3.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 1.50% and 2.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a rate per annum between 0.30% and 0.40%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio.

As of March 31, 2024, the interest rate on the Company's Term A Facility and the drawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 8.25%.

The amounts outstanding under the 2023 Credit Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, provided that certain limitations are observed, and subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a Term SOFR loan. The principal amount of the Term A Facility shall be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement, with the final balance due on the Maturity Date.

In March 2024, the Company made a prepayment of $10.0 million, of which $8.75 million was applied to the upcoming quarterly principal payments in 2024 under the Term A Facility, and $1.25 million was applied to the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.8 million associated with the 2023 Credit Facility. Debt outstanding under the 2023 Credit Facility is presented net of issuance costs on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt issuance costs are amortized on an effective interest basis over the term of the 2023 Credit Facility, and are included in interest expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The covenants of the Credit Agreement include customary negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens and make certain acquisitions, investments, asset dispositions and restricted payments. In addition, the 2023 Credit Facility requires compliance with financial covenants related to total net leverage ratio, not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00, and interest coverage ratio with a minimum permitted ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 (calculated as set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2024, the Company believes that it is in compliance with all covenants in the 2023 Credit Agreement.

The 2023 Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, as well as the following events of default, that are specific to the Company:

any revocation, termination, substantial and adverse modification, or refusal by final order to renew, any media license, or the requirement (by final non-appealable order) to sell a television or radio station, where any such event or failure is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect; or
the interruption of operations of any television or radio station for more than 96 consecutive hours during any period of seven consecutive days;

The 2023 Credit Agreement includes customary rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any event of default thereunder, including rights to accelerate the loans, terminate the commitments thereunder and realize upon the collateral securing the obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement.

The security agreement that the Company entered into with respect to its 2017 Credit Facility remains in effect with respect to its 2023 Credit Facility.

The carrying amount of the Term Loan A Facility as of March 31, 2024 approximated its fair value and was $186.5 million, net of $1.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Trade Receivables

14


 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. From time to time, the Company has had, and may have, bank deposits in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of March 31, 2024, the majority of all U.S. deposits are maintained in two financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. In addition, to the Company's knowledge, all or substantially all of the bank deposits held in banks outside the United States are not insured.

The Company’s credit risk is spread across a large number of customers in the United States, Latin America, Asia and various other countries, therefore spreading the trade receivable credit risk. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that it is managing its trade receivable credit risk effectively. Nonetheless, the Company faces some credit risk in connection with the termination by Meta of its ASP program. The Company is in the process of assessing the nature and extent of this risk but it cannot quantify any such risk at this time. Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.

Aggregate receivables from the largest five advertisers represented 9% and 7% of the Company's total trade receivables as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. No single advertiser represents more than 5% of the Company's total trade receivables.

Revenue from the largest advertiser represented 12% of the Company's total revenue for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. This advertiser is a global media company and pays on a frequent basis; therefore, management does not believe that this concentration of credit represents a significant risk to the Company. No other advertiser represented more than 5% of the Company's total revenue.

Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements through a charge to expense that aggregated $1.3 million and $0.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net charge off of bad debts aggregated $0.2 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company's accounts receivable consist of a homogeneous pool of relatively small dollar amounts from a large number of customers. The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. When the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.

Dependence on Global Media Companies

The Company is dependent on the continued commercial agreements with, as well as the financial and business strength of, the global media companies for which the Company acts as a commercial partner in the digital segment, as well as the companies from which it obtains programming in the television and audio segments. The Company could be at risk should any of these entities fail to perform its respective obligations to the Company or terminate its relationship with the Company. This in turn could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue related to a single global media company, Meta, for which the Company acts as a commercial partner, represented 53% and 51% of the Company's total revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. On March 4, 2024, the Company received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its ASP program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including the Company, by July 1, 2024.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date.

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below.

15


 

Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets; quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):

The Company’s money market account is comprised of cash and cash equivalents, which are recorded at their fair market value within Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s available for sale debt securities are comprised of corporate bonds and notes, asset-backed securities, and U.S. Government securities. The majority of the carrying value of these securities held by the Company are investment grade. These securities are valued using quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets (Level 2). Since these investments are classified as available for sale, they are recorded at their fair market value within Marketable securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and their unrealized gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available for sale securities are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and were determined on a specific identification basis.

The Company’s available for sale debt securities are considered for credit losses under the guidance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a credit loss allowance is not required.

Included in interest income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was interest income related to the Company’s available for sale securities of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

The fair value of the contingent consideration is related to the acquisitions of:

the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a digital advertising solutions company that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name Cisneros Interactive ("Cisneros Interactive").

As of December 31, 2023 the contingent consideration was $8.0 million, all of which is a current liability. As of March 31, 2024 the contingent liability was $7.1 million, all of which is a current liability. The decrease in the liability during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 of $0.9 million was due to a payment made to one of the sellers. The change in the fair value of the contingent liability during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, of $6.5 million income is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a digital advertising solutions company in Southeast Asia that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name MediaDonuts ("MediaDonuts").

As of December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration was $17.8 million, all of which is a noncurrent liability. As of March 31, 2024 the contingent liability was $16.6 million, all of which is a noncurrent liability. The change in the fair value of the contingent liability during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, of $1.2 million income and $1.7 million expense, respectively, is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

the remaining 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a digital marketing services company that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name Jack of Digital ("Jack of Digital").

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration was $0.3 million, all of which is a noncurrent liability.

100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a global mobile app marketing solutions company that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name BCNMonetize ("BCNMonetize").

 

As of December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration was $1.9 million, of which $1.2 million is a current liability and $0.7 million is a noncurrent liability. As of March 31, 2024, the contingent liability was $1.7 million, all of which is a current liability. The change in the fair value of the contingent liability during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, of $0.2 million income is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by applying the real options approach. Key assumptions include risk-neutral expected growth rates based on management’s assessments of expected growth in EBITDA, adjusted by appropriate factors capturing their correlation with the market and volatility, discounted at a cost of debt. These are significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which ASC 820-10-35 refers to as Level 3 inputs. The following table presents the changes in the contingent consideration (in millions):

Foreign Currency

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” and the related rate fluctuation on transactions is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the respective local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and equity and long-term assets are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive (income) loss.

Based on data reported by the International Monetary Fund, Argentina has been identified as a country with a highly inflationary economy. According to GAAP, a registrant should apply highly inflationary accounting in the first reporting period after such determination. Therefore, the Company transitioned the accounting for its Argentine operations to highly inflationary status as of July 1, 2018 and, commencing that date, changed the functional currency from the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue related to the Company’s digital segment consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party media companies.

Assets Held For Sale

Assets are classified as held for sale when the carrying value is expected to be recovered through a sale rather than through their continued use and all of the necessary classification criteria have been met. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less selling costs and classified as current assets. Depreciation is not recorded on assets classified as held for sale.

During 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement for a tower site in the Boston market for $1.3 million. The transaction met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and the carrying value of $0.3 million is presented as Assets Held for Sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024.

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or ASC 810, “Consolidation,” the Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (a "VIE"). An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics:(1) the entity has insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (2) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (3) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that the Company is the primary beneficiary of such entity.

18


 

In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; and the significance of the Company’s investment and other means of participation in the VIE’s expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis. See Note 7 for more details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting pronouncements that were issued or became effective since the issuance of the 2023 10-K that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting standards that were adopted since the issuance of the 2023 10-K.

3. REVENUES

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount equal to the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

Digital Advertising. Revenue related to the Company's digital segment is recognized when display or other digital advertisements record impressions on the websites and mobile and Internet-connected television apps of media companies on whose digital platforms the advertisements are placed or as the advertiser’s previously agreed-upon performance criteria are satisfied. In the Company’s arrangements with media companies for which it acts as commercial partner, the Company has concluded that it is the principal in the transaction and therefore recognizes revenue on a gross basis, because (i) the Company is responsible for fulfillment of the contract, including customer support, resolving customer complaints, and accepting responsibility for the quality or suitability of the product or service; (ii) the Company has pricing discretion over the transaction; and (iii) the Company carries inventory risk and is required to pay the media companies for which it acts as commercial partner for all inventory purchased regardless of whether the Company is able to collect on a transaction.

Broadcast Advertising. Revenue related to the sale of advertising in the television and audio segments is recognized at the time of broadcast. Revenue for contracts with advertising agencies is recorded at an amount that is net of the commission retained by the agency. Revenue from contracts directly with the advertisers is recorded as gross revenue and the related commission or national representation fee is recorded in operating expense.

Retransmission Consent. The Company generates revenue from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs"). The Company grants the MVPDs access to its television station signals so that they may rebroadcast the signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. Revenue is recognized as the television signal is delivered to the MVPD.

Spectrum Usage Rights. The Company generates revenue from agreements associated with its television stations’ spectrum usage rights. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the contractual fees over the term of the agreement or when the Company has relinquished all or a portion of its spectrum usage rights for a station or have relinquished its rights to operate a station on the existing channel free from interference.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations when (i) contracts have an original expected length of one year or less, which applies to essentially all of the Company's advertising contracts, and (ii) variable consideration is a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property, which applies to retransmission consent revenue.

The Company expenses contract acquisition costs, such as sales commissions generated either by internal direct sales employees or through third party advertising agency intermediaries, when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct operating expenses.

The Company records deferred revenues within Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance, including amounts which are refundable. The change in the

19


 

deferred revenue balance is primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, offset by revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance in the prior period.

The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is typically 30 days. For certain individual customers and customer types, the Company generally requires payment before the services are delivered to the customer.

4. LEASES

The Company’s leases are considered operating leases and primarily consist of real estate such as office space, broadcasting towers, land and land easements. The operating leases are reflected within the consolidated balance sheet as Operating leases right of use asset with the related liability presented as Operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, lease terms include options to renew or extend the lease. Unless the renewal option is considered reasonably certain, the exercise of any such options has been excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s management has determined that the Company operates in three reportable segments as of March 31, 2024, based upon the type of advertising medium, which segments are digital, television and audio. The Company’s segments results reflect information presented on the same basis that is used for internal management reporting and it is also how the chief operating decision maker, who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), evaluates the business.

Segment operating profit (loss) is defined as operating profit (loss) before corporate expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, impairment charge, other operating (gain) loss, and foreign currency (gain) loss. The Company generated 79% and 80% of its revenue outside the United States during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The accounting policies applied to determine the segment information are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on separate financial data for each operating segment as provided below (in thousands):

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various outstanding claims and other legal proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any liability of the Company that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

7. ACQUISITIONS

Adsmurai

On August 5, 2022, the Company made a loan (the "Adsmurai Loan") in the principal amount of €12,535,000 ($12.8 million as of that date) to an entity affiliated with owners of a majority interest in Adsmurai, S.L. (“Adsmurai”), a company engaged in the sale and marketing of digital advertising. The loan had a two-year term, an interest rate of 5% annually, and could be converted into 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Adsmurai at the Company’s sole discretion. If the Company elected not to convert the loan, the borrower had the option to repay the loan at maturity either in cash or with 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Adsmurai.

As of that date, the Company determined for accounting purposes that (i) Adsmurai was a VIE because the equity investors at risk, as a group, lacked the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; and (ii) the Company was the primary beneficiary because the conversion right gave it the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impacted the entity’s economic performance.

The Company determined that Adsmurai was a business and accounted for its consolidation under the provisions of ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, and included Adsmurai's results of operations since the date of the loan in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following is a summary of the final purchase price allocation (in millions):

The fair value of the trade receivables is $11.9 million. The gross amount due under contract is $12.3 million, of which $0.4 million is expected to be uncollectable.

The goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, is assigned to the Company’s digital segment and is attributable to Adsmurai’s workforce and synergies from combining Adsmurai’s operations with those of the Company.

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Adsmurai Acquisition Agreement”) among the Company and the selling stockholders of Adsmurai (the “Adsmurai Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company acquired a 51% equity interest in Adsmurai (the “Adsmurai Acquisition”) on the same date.

The Company acquired 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Adsmurai by means of conversion of the Adsmurai Loan, for total purchase consideration of €13.0 million ($14.2 million as of April 3, 2023), including interest. The Adsmurai Acquisition Agreement also contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties thereto.

In connection with the Adsmurai Acquisition, on April 3, 2023 the Company made a loan to entities affiliated with owners of the remaining 49% interest in Adsmurai in the principal amount of €7,355,000 ($8.1 million as of April 3, 2023) and a second loan on July 11, 2023 in the principal amount of €4,993,344 ($5.6 million as of July 11, 2023) based on Adsmurai’s EBITDA for calendar year 2022 (the “New Adsmurai Loans”). The New Adsmurai Loans have a seven-year term, bear interest at a rate of 5% annually and can be repaid upon the exercise of the option rights set forth in the Adsmurai Options Agreement (defined below). The loan receivable is recorded within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In connection with the Adsmurai Acquisition, the Company and the Adsmurai Sellers also entered into an Options Agreement (the “Adsmurai Options Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Adsmurai Options Agreement, for a purchase price based on a

23


 

predetermined multiple of Adsmurai’s EBITDA in the trailing four fiscal quarters, plus amounts outstanding under the Adsmurai Loan:

the Adsmurai Sellers have the right to cause the Company to purchase:
o
10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai stock between January and March 2024, 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai stock between January and March 2025, and all of the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai stock between July and September 2027; or
o
all of the issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai owned by such Adsmurai Seller each January, in the sole discretion of such Adsmurai Seller; or
o
all of the issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai owned by such Adsmurai Seller, in the event such Adsmurai Seller's employment is terminated by the Company; and
the Company has the right to purchase all of the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Adsmurai stock between January and June 2027.

Applicable accounting guidance requires an equity instrument that is redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if it is redeemable (a) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the holder, or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer.

As a result of the put and call option redemption feature, and because the redemption is not solely within the control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest is considered redeemable, and is classified in temporary equity within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets initially at its acquisition date fair value. The noncontrolling interest is adjusted each reporting period for income (or loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest as well as any applicable distributions made. In addition, because the noncontrolling interest is not currently redeemable, but is probable that it will become redeemable, and because the Company has elected the immediate method to recognize changes in the redemption value as they occur, each reporting period a measurement period adjustment, if any, is recorded to adjust the noncontrolling interest to the higher of either the redemption value, assuming it was redeemable at the reporting date, or its carrying value. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, which includes the Adsmurai Options Agreement, recognized on the acquisition date was $43.6 million. The fair value was estimated by applying the real options approach. Key assumptions include risk-neutral expected growth rates based on management’s assessments of expected growth in EBITDA, adjusted by appropriate factors capturing their correlation with the market and volatility, discounted at a cost of debt rate.

Jack of Digital

On August 3, 2022, the Company acquired 15% of the issued and outstanding stock of Jack of Digital, a digital marketing services company that serves as the exclusive advertising sales partner of ByteDance Ltd. in Pakistan, for $0.1 million.

As of that date, the Company determined for accounting purposes that (i) Jack of Digital was a VIE because the equity investors at risk, as a group, lacked the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; and (ii) the Company was the primary beneficiary because it had the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impacted the entity’s economic performance.

On April 3, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining issued and outstanding stock of Jack of Digital for $1.1 million. Of that amount, the Company paid an initial installment payment of $0.5 million in 2023, an additional installment payment of $0.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, and the balance will be paid in January 2025. Additionally, the transaction includes a contingent earn-out payment based upon the achievement of an EBITDA target in calendar year 2026, calculated as a predetermined multiple of EBITDA for that year. The total purchase price for the acquisition, including the fair value of the contingent consideration, was $1.4 million.

BCNMonetize

On May 19, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of BCNMonetize, a global mobile app marketing solutions company headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. The acquisition, funded from the Company’s cash on hand, included an initial purchase price of $6.0 million in cash, which amount was adjusted at closing to $7.2 million due to customary purchase price adjustments for cash, indebtedness and estimated working capital. Additionally, the transaction includes contingent earn-out payments based upon the achievement of certain EBITDA targets in calendar years 2023 through 2026, calculated as a predetermined multiple of EBITDA for each of those years. The total purchase price for the acquisition, including the fair value of the contingent consideration, was $8.8 million.

The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $2.8 million. The gross amount due under contract was $2.9 million, of which $0.1 million was expected to be uncollectable.

The goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, is assigned to the Company’s digital segment and is attributable to BCNMonetize's workforce and expected synergies from combining BCNMonetize's operations with the Company's operations.

As noted above, the acquisition of BCNMonetize includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the selling stockholders of BCNMonetize, based on a pre-determined multiple of BCNMonetize's 12-month EBITDA in calendar years 2023 through 2026. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $1.6 million was estimated by applying the real options approach. Key assumptions include risk-neutral expected growth rates based on management’s assessments of expected growth in EBITDA, adjusted by appropriate factors capturing their correlation with the market and volatility, discounted at a cost of debt rate ranging from 8.2% to 8.4% over the three-year period. These are significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which ASC 820-10-35 refers to as Level 3 inputs.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared to give effect to the Company’s acquisition of BCNMonetize as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023. This pro forma information was adjusted to exclude acquisition fees and costs of $0.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, which were expensed in connection with the acquisition. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been had this acquisition occurred on such date, nor does it purport to predict the results of operations for any future periods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company. Our operations encompass integrated, end-to-end advertising solutions across multiple media, comprised of digital, television and audio properties. For financial reporting purposes, we report in three segments based upon the type of advertising medium: digital, television and audio.

Our digital segment, whose operations are primarily located in Europe, Latin America, Asia, the United States and Africa, reaches a global market, with a focus on advertisers that wish to advertise on digital platforms owned and operated primarily by global media companies. We have commercial partnerships with Meta, ByteDance Ltd., or ByteDance, which owns the TikTok platform, X Corp., or X (formerly known as Twitter), Spotify AB, or Spotify, Snap Inc., or Snap, and Pinterest, Inc., or Pinterest. Additionally, marketers can use our Smadex programmatic ad purchasing platform to deliver targeted advertising to audiences around the globe.

Our digital operations are comprised of three business units:

Entravision Global Partners, our digital commercial partnerships business;
Smadex, our programmatic ad purchasing platform; and
Adwake, our mobile growth solutions business.

On March 4, 2024, we received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its authorized sales partner, or ASP, program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including us, by July 1, 2024. We expect that the termination of this program will have a material effect on our digital operations and results of operations and that our consolidated and digital segment revenue and cash flow from operations will be materially and adversely affected in future periods. As a result, we have initiated a thorough review of our current digital strategy, operations and cost structure, which may include, among other things, the nature and extent to which we remain involved in this business and the timing thereof. The discussion regarding our digital operations throughout this report, including all references to our commercial relationship as an ASP with Meta, and the impact that the termination by Meta of the ASP program is expected have on our business, including our results of operations, consolidated and digital segment revenue and cash flow from operations, should be read in consideration of this development.

Our television and audio operations reach and engage U.S. Hispanics in the United States. We own and/or operate 49 primary television stations. Our television operations comprise the largest affiliate group of both the top-ranked Univision television network and TelevisaUnivision’s UniMás network, with TelevisaUnivision-affiliated stations in 15 of the nation’s top 50 U.S. Hispanic markets. We own and operate one of the largest groups of primarily Spanish-language radio stations in the United States. We own and operate 44 radio stations, consisting of 37 FM and 7 AM stations, in 14 U.S. markets. We own and/or operate media properties in 13 of the 20 highest-density U.S. Hispanic markets.

Our net revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was $277.4 million. Of this amount, revenue generated by our digital segment accounted for approximately 86%, revenue generated by our television segment accounted for approximately 10%, and revenue generated by our audio segment accounted for approximately 4% of total revenue.

Highlights

On March 4, 2024, we received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its authorized sales partner, or ASP, program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including us, by July 1, 2024. We expect that the termination of this program will have a material effect on our digital operations and results of operations and that our consolidated and digital segment revenue and cash flow from operations will be materially and adversely affected in future periods. As a result, we have initiated a thorough review of our current digital strategy, operations and cost structure, which may include, among other things, the nature and extent to which we remain involved in this business and the timing thereof.
We prepaid $10 million of our 2023 Credit Facility in March 2024.

Relationship with TelevisaUnivision

Our network affiliation agreement with TelevisaUnivision provides certain of our owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast TelevisaUnivision’s primary Univision network and UniMás network programming in their respective markets. We also generate revenue under a marketing and sales agreement with TelevisaUnivision, which give us the right to manage the marketing and sales operations of TelevisaUnivision-owned Univision affiliates in three markets – Albuquerque, Boston and Denver. Under our proxy agreement with TelevisaUnivision, we grant TelevisaUnivision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements with multichannel video programming distributors, or MVPDs, for our Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals. Revenue generated from retransmission consent agreements represents payments from MVPDs for access to our television station signals so that they may rebroadcast our signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. The term of each of these current agreements expires on December 31, 2026 for all of our Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations. TelevisaUnivision

27


 

also owns approximately 10% of our common stock on a fully-converted basis. For more information regarding these agreements and the stock that TelevisaUnivision owns, see Note 2 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consolidated EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, net interest expense, other operating gain (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses, syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments, revenue from the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, spectrum incentive auction less related expenses, expenses associated with investments, EBITDA attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, acquisitions and dispositions and

certain pro-forma cost savings. We use the term consolidated EBITDA because that measure is defined in both the 2017 Credit Agreement and the 2023 Credit Agreement, and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses, syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments, revenue from FCC spectrum incentive auction less related expenses, expenses associated with investments, EBITDA attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, acquisitions and dispositions and certain pro-forma cost savings.

Because consolidated EBITDA is a measure governing several critical aspects of our 2023 Credit Facility, and since our ability to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility is subject to compliance with a consolidated EBITDA financial covenant, we believe that it is important to disclose consolidated EBITDA to our investors. Our 2023 Credit Facility contains a total net leverage ratio financial covenant. The total net leverage ratio, or the ratio of consolidated total debt (net of up to $50.0 million of unrestricted cash) to trailing-twelve-month consolidated EBITDA, affects both our ability to borrow from our Revolving Credit Facility and our applicable margin for the interest rate calculation. Under our 2023 Credit Agreement, our maximum total leverage ratio may not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. In addition, our 2023 Credit Agreement contains interest coverage ratio financial covenant (calculated as set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement), with a minimum permitted ratio of 3.00 to 1.00.

While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income (loss) and net income (loss). Consolidated EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important financial line items as noted above. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.

Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to consolidated EBITDA is cash flows from operating activities. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to cash flows from operating activities follows (in thousands):

Consolidated Operations

Net Revenue. Net revenue increased to $277.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $239.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in advertising revenue from our digital business units in our digital segment, and political advertising revenue in our television and audio segments, partially offset by decreases in national advertising revenue, spectrum usage rights revenue and retransmission consent revenue in our television segment, and decreases in local and national advertising revenue in our audio segment.

Cost of revenue-Digital. Cost of revenue in our digital segment increased to $203.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $167.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the increase in digital advertising revenue.

30


 

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses increased to $35.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $29.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in advertising revenue, and an increase in salaries.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $26.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $22.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to our digital segment, primarily due to an increase in salaries, partially offset by a decrease in rent expense.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased to $12.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $10.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation and an increase in salaries, partially offset by a decrease in audit fees.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $7.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to $6.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of BCNMonetize, which did not contribute to our financial results in the comparable prior period.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration. As a result of the change in fair value of the contingent consideration related to our various acquisitions, we recognized income of $1.4 million and $4.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Impairment. We incurred a goodwill impairment charge of $35.4 million and intangible assets subject to amortization impairment of $14.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, in our digital segment, related to the impending termination by Meta of its ASP program. See Note 2 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign currency (gain) loss. We had a foreign currency loss of $0.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to a foreign currency gain of $1.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. Foreign currency gains and losses are primarily due to currency fluctuations that affect our digital segment operations located outside the United States.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net increased to $3.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $3.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a higher interest rate on our debt, partially offset by higher interest income.

Gain (loss) on debt extinguishment. We recorded a de minimis loss on debt extinguishment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 due to prepayment of $10.0 million of our 2023 Credit Facility. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 due to the refinancing of our previous credit facility with our 2023 Credit Facility.

Realized gain (loss) on marketable securities. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 we recorded $0.1 million of realized loss, related to our available for sale securities. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 we recorded a de minimis amount of realized loss, related to our available for sale securities.

Income Tax Expense or Benefit. Income tax benefit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was $7.8 million. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was different from our statutory rate due to foreign and state taxes, changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, non deductible executive compensation, changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, goodwill impairment, and non-taxable non-territorial income. Income tax expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was $0.2 million, or 12% of our pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was different from our statutory rate due to foreign and state taxes, changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, non deductible executive compensation, changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, and non-taxable non-territorial income.

Our management periodically evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are, or are not, realizable, adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. Valuation allowances are established and maintained for deferred tax assets on a “more likely than not” threshold. The process of evaluating the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the amount maintained in any such allowance is highly subjective and is based on many factors, several of which are subject to significant judgment calls.

Based on our analysis, we determined that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized for all jurisdictions with the exception of certain of our digital operations and certain U.S. Foreign Tax Credit carryovers. As a result of historical losses from our digital operations primarily in Spain, Uruguay, Mexico and Argentina and certain U.S. Foreign Tax Credit carryovers, management has determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets of $6.3 million at March 31, 2024 will not be realized and therefore we have established a valuation allowance in that amount on those assets.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar 2 guidelines address the increasing digitalization of the global economy, re-allocating taxing rights among countries. The OECD, many other member states and various other governments have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, Pillar 2 which calls for a global minimum tax of 15% to be effective for tax years beginning in 2024. The OECD guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax. The Company is monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on its tax rate, including eligibility to qualify for these safe harbor rules.

Segment Operations

Digital

Net Revenue. Net revenue in our digital segment increased to $237.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $196.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in advertising revenue from our various digital business units, and due to the acquisition of BCNMonetize, which did not contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable prior period.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue in our digital segment increased to $203.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $167.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the increase in advertising revenue.

We have previously noted a trend in our digital operations globally whereby revenue is shifting more to programmatic revenue. As a result, advertisers are demanding more efficiency and lower cost from intermediaries like us. In response to this trend, we have been offering our programmatic purchasing platform, Smadex, to advertisers. We are also experiencing lower margins related to revenue generated from our Entravision Global Partners business, as a result of relative negotiating strength and industry trends generally. We expect these trends will continue in future periods, likely further resulting in a more pronounced lower margin business in our digital segment. For example, beginning in the second half of 2023, we have begun receiving a lower rate of payment on our sales made on behalf of Meta, resulting in further lower margins. The digital advertising industry remains dynamic and is continuing to undergo rapid changes in technology, customer expectation and competition. We expect this trend to continue and possibly accelerate. We must continue to remain vigilant to meet these dynamic and rapid changes including the need to further adjust our business strategies accordingly. No assurances can be given that such strategies will be successful.

On March 4, 2024, we received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its authorized sales partner, or ASP, program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including us, by July 1, 2024. We expect that the termination of Meta’s ASP program will have a material effect on our digital operations and results of operations and that our consolidated and digital segment revenue and cash flow from operations will be materially and adversely affected in future periods. As a result, we have initiated a thorough review of our current digital strategy, operations and cost structure, which may include, among other things, the nature and extent to which we remain involved in this business and the timing thereof.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses in our digital segment increased to $10.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $8.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our digital segment increased to $17.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, from $13.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in salary expense.

Television

Net Revenue. Net revenue in our television segment decreased to $28.5 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, from $30.3 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in national advertising revenue, spectrum usage rights revenue and retransmission consent revenue, partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue.

In general, our television segment faces declining audiences, which we believe is present across the industry, competitive factors with the other major Spanish-language broadcasters, and changing demographics and preferences of audiences, particularly younger audiences, in terms of the media they prefer to view, including streaming and social media. We anticipate that these changes in viewer habits will persist at least for the foreseeable future and possibly permanently. Additionally, we have previously noted a trend for advertising to move increasingly from traditional media, such as television, to new media, such as digital media, and we expect this trend will also continue.

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our television segment increased to $16.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $14.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in salaries as a result of expanding our local news operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment increased to $6.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $5.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in salaries.

32


 

Audio

Net Revenue. Net revenue in our audio segment decreased to $11.4 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, from $12.2 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue.

In general, our audio segment faces declining audiences, which we believe is present across the industry, competitive factors with other major Spanish-language broadcasters, and changing demographics and preferences of listening audiences, particularly younger audiences, including podcasts and other streaming services. We anticipate that these changes in listener habits will persist at least for at least for the foreseeable future and possibly permanently. Additionally, we have previously noted a trend for advertising to move increasingly from traditional media, such as radio, to new media, such as digital media, and we expect this trend will also continue. While we believe that none of these new technologies and services can completely replace local broadcast radio stations due to the element of localism that broadcast radio offers, the challenges we face in our radio operations from new technologies and services will continue to require attention from management.

Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our audio segment increased to $7.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $7.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to increases in salaries.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our audio segment decreased to $3.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from $3.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in rent expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

While we have a history of operating losses in some periods and operating income in other periods, we also have a history of generating significant positive cash flows from our operations. We had net loss attributable to common stockholders of $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and net income attributable to common stockholders of $18.1 million and $29.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We had positive cash flow from operations of $75.2 million, $78.9 million and $65.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We had positive cash flow from operations of $33.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. For at least the next twelve months, we expect to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness, with cash on hand and cash flows from operations.

We currently believe that our cash position is capable of meeting our operating and capital expenses and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of this report. We believe that our position is strengthened by cash and cash equivalents on hand, in the amount of $128.4 million, and available for sale marketable securities in the additional amount of $4.3 million, as of March 31, 2024.

On March 4, 2024, we received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its authorized sales partner, or ASP, program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including us, by July 1, 2024. We expect that the termination of Meta’s ASP program will have a material effect on our digital operations and results of operations and that our consolidated and digital segment revenue and cash flow from operations will be materially and adversely affected in future periods. As a result, we have initiated a thorough review of our current digital strategy, operations and cost structure, which may include, among other things, the nature and extent to which we remain involved in this business and the timing thereof. To the extent that our then current liquidity is insufficient to fund business activities or if we do not remain in compliance with our financial covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreement, whether as a result of the termination of the Meta ASP program or otherwise, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future to satisfy capital requirements. There is no guarantee that any such capital would be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain any required capital could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

Our liquidity is not materially affected by the amounts held in accounts outside the United States. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents is held outside the United States, primarily in Uruguay, Spain and Singapore, none of which countries have foreign currency controls. We hold smaller amounts of cash in certain countries that do have foreign currency controls, including Argentina, Brazil, India and Pakistan, which could impact our ability to freely repatriate such funds from those countries to the United States

Credit Facility

On March 17, 2023, we entered into the 2023 Credit Facility, pursuant to the 2023 Credit Agreement, by and among us, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto as Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually each a “Lender”). The 2023 Credit Agreement amended, restated and replaced in its entirety our previous credit agreement (the "2017 Credit Agreement"). For detailed information regarding certain terms of our 2023 Credit Agreement and Credit Facility, see Note 2 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2024, we made a prepayment of $10.0 million, of which $8.75 million was applied to the upcoming quarterly principal payments in 2024 under the Term A Facility, and $1.25 million was applied to the Revolving Credit Facility.

33


 

Consolidated EBITDA

Consolidated EBITDA decreased to $4.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to $13.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. As a percentage of net revenue, consolidated EBITDA decreased to 2% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 from 5% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

Consolidated EBITDA, which is defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement, is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of consolidated EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see page 30.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $33.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $36.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. We had net loss of $51.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, which included non-cash items such as deferred income taxes of $4.2 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $7.1 million, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $5.4 million, change in fair value of contingent consideration of $1.4 million, and impairment charge of $49.4 million. We had net income of $1.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, which included non-cash items such as deferred income taxes of $0.2 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $6.5 million, change in fair value of contingent consideration of $4.1 million, non-cash stock-based compensation of $4.1 million, and loss on debt extinguishment of $1.6 million. We expect to have positive cash flow from operating activities for the 2024 year.

Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $6.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of $0.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, we spent $2.7 million in net capital expenditures, and received $8.8 million from the sale of marketable securities. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we spent $9.4 million on purchases of marketable securities, spent $6.8 million in net capital expenditures, and received $15.7 million from the sale of marketable securities. We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $6.0 million during the full year 2024. The amount of our anticipated capital expenditures may change based on future changes in business plans and our financial condition and general economic conditions. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash on hand and net cash flow from operations.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was $16.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of $5.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, we made debt payments of $10.3 million, dividend payments of $4.5 million, distributions to noncontrolling interest of $1.1 million, and payments of contingent consideration of $0.9 million. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we made debt payments of $211.7 million, dividend payments of $4.9 million, payments of $1.3 million of debt issuance costs, payments for taxes related to shares withheld for share-based compensation plans of $0.1 million, and received $212.4 million proceeds from borrowings on debt and $0.3 million related to the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Credit Risk

We have credit risk in our digital segment insofar as we are required to pay the media companies for which we act as commercial partner for all inventory purchased regardless of whether we are able to collect on a transaction from the local advertiser. We believe that we manage this credit risk effectively, in part by analyzing the creditworthiness of these customers; however, we can give no assurance that this will continue to be the case in future periods. Nonetheless, we face some credit risk in connection with the termination by Meta of its ASP program, which will occur on or before July 1, 2024. Whenever that actually occurs, we will have accounts receivable from certain advertisers who used our services while we were still an ASP of Meta, but with whom we will not have ongoing business after we cease being an ASP of Meta. We are in the process of assessing the nature and extent of this risk but we cannot quantify any such risk at this time.

Additionally, we have been dependent upon one single global media company, Meta, for the majority of our consolidated revenue, which amounted to approximately 53% and 51% of our consolidated revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. On March 4, 2024, we received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its ASP program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including us, by July 1, 2024. The loss of all or a substantial part of this revenue will have a significant adverse effect on our cash flow and liquidity.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

Market risk represents the potential loss that may affect our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows due to adverse changes in the financial markets. We are also exposed to market risk from changes in the base rates on our 2023 Credit Facility.

Interest Rates

As of March 31, 2024, we had $197.8 million of variable rate bank debt outstanding under our 2023 Credit Facility. Our borrowings bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 2.50% and 3.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 1.50% and 2.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a rate per annum between 0.30% and 0.40%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio.

Because our debt is subject to interest at a variable rate, our earnings will be affected in future periods by changes in interest rates. If the SOFR were to increase by a hypothetical 100 basis points, or one percentage point, from its March 31, 2024 level, our annual interest expense would increase and cash flow from operations would decrease by $2.0 million based on the outstanding balance of our term loan as of March 31, 2024.

Foreign Currency

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Historically, our revenues have primarily been denominated in U.S. dollars, and the majority of our current revenues continue to be, and are expected to remain, denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we have operations in countries other than the United States, primarily related to our digital business, and as a result we expect an increasing portion of our future revenues to be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso, Argentine peso, certain other Latin American currencies and various Asian currencies. The effect of an immediate and hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on foreign-denominated accounts receivable at March 31, 2024 would not be material to our consolidated results of operations or overall financial condition.

Our operating expenses are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, certain of our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, such as Spain, Latin American countries and other countries. Increases and decreases in our foreign-denominated revenue from movements in foreign exchange rates are partially offset by the corresponding decreases or increases in our foreign-denominated operating expenses.

Based on inflation data, the economy in Argentina has been classified as highly inflationary. As a result, we applied the guidance in ASC 830 by remeasuring non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates and monetary-assets and liabilities using current exchange rates (see Note 2 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

We maintain certain cash and cash equivalents in certain countries, including Argentina, Brazil, India and Pakistan, which has foreign exchange controls that could impact our ability to freely repatriate such funds to the United States.

To the extent that our international operations continue to grow, our risks associated with fluctuation in currency rates will become greater and we will continue to reassess our approach to managing this risk. In addition, currency fluctuations or a weakening U.S. dollar can increase the amount of operating expense of our international operations, which are primarily related to our digital business. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts, since exchange rate fluctuations historically have not had a material effect on our operating results and cash flows.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The

35


 

design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

We are subject to various outstanding claims and other legal proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any liability that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We face credit risk in connection with the termination of our business with Meta.

We face certain credit risk in connection with the termination of Meta’s ASP program, which will occur on or before July 1, 2024. Whenever that actually occurs, we will have accounts receivable from certain advertisers who used our services while we were still an ASP of Meta, but with whom we will not have ongoing business after we cease being an ASP of Meta. There is risk, which we cannot quantify at this time, that certain such receivables may be uncollectible.

We may need to raise capital if our current liquidity is insufficient to fund business activities.

To the extent that our then current liquidity is insufficient to fund business activities or if we do not remain in compliance with our financial covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreement, whether as a result of the termination of the Meta ASP program or otherwise, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future to satisfy capital requirements. There is no guarantee that any such capital would be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain any required capital could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $20 million of our Class A common stock. Under this share repurchase program, we are authorized to purchase shares of our Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors.

We did not repurchase any shares of our Class A common stock during three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. As of March 31, 2024, we have repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares of our Class A common stock under the current share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $11.3 million, or an average price per share of $6.43. All such repurchased shares were retired as of March 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
