SILVER SPRING, Md.,
Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Urban One, Inc. (NASDAQ: UONEK and UONE) today reported its
results for the quarter ended June 30,
2024. For the three months ended June
30, 2024, net revenues were approximately $117.7 million, a decrease of 9.2% from the same
period in 2023. The Company reported operating loss of
approximately $60.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2024,
compared to operating income of approximately $9.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2023. Broadcast and digital
operating income1 was approximately $34.2 million, a decrease of 27.7% from the same
period in 2023. Net loss was approximately $45.4 million or $(0.94) per share (basic) compared to income of
$70.4 million or $1.48 per share (basic) for the same period in
2023. Adjusted EBITDA2 was approximately
$28.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024, compared to
approximately $37.5 million for the
same period in 2023.
Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban
One's CEO and President stated, "On a same station basis our radio
division finished Q2 -5.6% excluding political, and -3.0% with
political. We saw a sequential improvement in national revenues vs.
Q1, which was offset by weaker local revenues. Q3 core radio
revenue is currently pacing down 6.9% on a same station basis, down
5.1% including political, and up 7.0% overall. We are starting to
see a significant uptick in political advertising revenues, and
remain optimistic for the remainder of the year, which should
benefit both our radio and digital divisions. Our Cable TV business
continues to suffer from subscriber churn and audience delivery
shortfall, impacting both advertising and affiliate revenues,
although we are seeing a bounce-back in ratings and delivery in Q3.
Our digital business experienced weaker advertising demand than
prior year, but remains well positioned for the second half of the
year, particularly with political and CTV advertising. During Q2 we
repurchased an additional $35.5
million of our 2028 notes at 78.0%, and we ended the quarter
with approximately $132.4 million of
cash."

During the three months ended June 30,
2024, we recognized approximately $117.7 million in net revenues compared to
approximately $129.7 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2023.
These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative
commissions. We recognized approximately $42.0 million of revenues from our radio
broadcasting segment during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately
$39.2 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2023, an increase of
approximately $2.8 million. This
increase was primarily due to the Houston station acquisition,
which was completed in August 2023,
offset by a decrease in national advertising. We recognized
approximately $18.9 million of
revenues from our Reach Media segment during the three months ended
June 30, 2024, compared to
approximately $20.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2023, a
decrease of approximately $1.2
million. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease
in overall demand and attrition of advertisers. We recognized
approximately $15.9 million of
revenues from our digital segment during the three months ended
June 30, 2024, compared to
approximately $18.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2023, a
decrease of approximately $3.0
million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in
national markets digital sales and lower demand from the Company's
advertisers. We recognized approximately $41.5 million of revenues from our cable
television segment during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately
$52.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of
approximately $10.9 million. The
decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in audience viewership
affecting advertising sales and the consistent churn in
subscribers.
The following charts indicates the sources of our net revenues
for the three and six months ended June 30,
2024:

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation, and impairment of goodwill, intangible
assets and long-lived assets, were approximately $93.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2024, down 0.4% from the
approximately $93.7 million for the
comparable period in 2023. The overall decrease in operating
expense was primarily due to a non-cash benefit related to change
in fair value of the Employment Agreement Award liability, offset
by higher third-party consulting and audit expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately
$3.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024, compared to
approximately $1.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2023, an
increase of approximately $1.1
million due to additional depreciation on leasehold
improvements and asset retirement obligation assets during the
three months ended June 30, 2024.
Impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets
was approximately $80.8 million
during the three months ended June 30,
2024, compared to $22.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The impairment loss of
$80.8 million in the second quarter
2024 was entirely associated with the impairment of broadcasting
licenses within the radio broadcasting segment. The primary factors
leading to the impairments were a decline in projected gross
market revenues and operating profits and an increase in discount
rate.
Interest income was approximately $1.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2023. The decrease was
driven by lower cash and cash equivalents balances in the three
months ended June 30, 2024, than in
the corresponding period in 2023.
Interest expense was approximately $12.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately
$14.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of
approximately $1.6 million. The
decrease was due to lower overall debt balances outstanding. During
the three months ended June 30, 2024,
the Company repurchased approximately $35.5 million of its 2028 Notes at an
average price of approximately 78.0% of par, resulting in a net
gain on retirement of debt of approximately $7.4 million.
Other income, net, was approximately $0.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $96.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2023. The decrease was
primarily due to the gain on sale of the Company's MGM Investment,
which was recognized in other income, net, during the three months
ended June 30, 2023.
For the three months ended June 30,
2024, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of
approximately $18.5 million. This
amount is based on the actual effective tax rate of 29.1%. This
rate includes $0.1 million of
discrete tax benefits primarily related to deferred rate changes.
For the three months ended June 30,
2023, we recorded a provision for income taxes of
approximately $23.2 million on
pre-tax income from consolidated operations of approximately
$94.4 million which results in an
effective tax rate of 24.6%. This rate includes $23.9 million of discrete tax expense primarily
related to the gain on our MGM investment.
Other pertinent financial information includes capital
expenditures of approximately $2.2
million and $2.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2024
and 2023, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30,
2024, the Company repurchased 449,277 shares of Class A
Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.9 million at an average price of $2.06 per share and repurchased 113,283 shares of
Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.2 million at an average price of $1.57 per share. During the three months ended
June 30, 2023, the Company did not
repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock and repurchased
18,459 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of
approximately $0.1 million at an
average price of $6.00 per share.

"Broadcast and
digital operating income": The radio broadcasting industry
commonly refers to "station operating income" which consists of net
income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, income taxes,
interest expense, interest income, non-controlling interests in
income of subsidiaries, other income, net, loss from unconsolidated
joint venture, corporate selling, general and administrative
expenses, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill,
intangible assets, and long-lived assets and (gain) loss on
retirement of debt. However, given the diverse nature of our
business, station operating income is not truly reflective of our
multi-media operation and, therefore, we use the term "broadcast
and digital operating income." Broadcast and digital operating
income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
Nevertheless, broadcast and digital operating income is a
significant measure used by our management to evaluate the
operating performance of our core operating segments. Broadcast and
digital operating income provides helpful information about our
results of operations, apart from expenses associated with our
fixed assets and goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived
assets, income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt
financings and retirements, corporate overhead and stock-based
compensation. Our measure of broadcast and digital operating income
is similar to industry use of station operating income; however, it
reflects our more diverse business and therefore is not completely
analogous to "station operating income" or other similarly titled
measures as used by other companies. Broadcast and digital
operating income does not represent operating income or loss, or
cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined
under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to those
measurements as an indicator of our performance.

"Adjusted EBITDA":
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net (loss) income plus (1) depreciation
and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, net income
attributable to non-controlling interests, impairment of goodwill,
intangible assets, and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation,
(gain) loss on retirement of debt, corporate costs,
severance-related costs, investment income, loss from
unconsolidated joint venture, less (2) other income, net and
interest income. Net (loss) income before interest income, interest
expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly
referred to in our business as "EBITDA." Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA
are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. We believe
Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company's operating
performance and is a significant measure used by our management to
evaluate the operating performance of our business. Accordingly,
based on the previous description of Adjusted EBITDA, we believe
that it provides useful information about the operating performance
of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our fixed
assets and goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets or
capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the
measures for comparing businesses in the broadcasting industry,
although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies, including, but not
limited to the fact that our definition includes the results of all
four of our operating segments (radio broadcasting, Reach Media,
digital and cable television). Business activities unrelated to
these four segments are included in an "all other" category which
the Company refers to as "All other - corporate/eliminations."
Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating
income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are
defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to
those measurements as an indicator of our performance.
