Honda Motor (HMC) Q1 FY25 (Apr-Jun 2025)
- Sales revenue fell 1.2% YoY to JPY 5,340.3 bn as weaker Financial Services and FX headwinds offset Automobile volume gains.
- Operating profit dropped 49.6% to JPY 244.2 bn; margin compressed to 4.6% (9.0% LY).
- Profit attributable to owners slid 50.2% to JPY 196.7 bn; EPS 46.80 yen vs 81.81 yen.
- Cash & equivalents down JPY 515 bn during the quarter; equity ratio eased to 39.5% after a JPY 364 bn share buyback.
- Guidance raised: FY26 sales 21.1 tn (+3.9% vs prior outlook), operating profit 700 bn (+40%), profit attributable 420 bn (+68% EPS to 105.07 yen) despite still trailing FY25 actuals.
- Dividend forecast lifted to 70 yen/share (vs 68 yen FY25).
Segment notes: Motorcycle profit grew, Automobile swung to a 楼29.6 bn loss on tariffs; Financial Services revenue -11% YoY. Comprehensive income turned negative (-楼3.8 bn) on currency translation.
Implication: A sharp Q1 earnings contraction highlights near-term margin pressure, yet the sizable upgrade to full-year guidance plus continued dividends/buybacks suggests management expects a strong H2 recovery.
Honda Motor (HMC) Q1 FY25 (Apr-Giu 2025)
- I ricavi delle vendite sono diminuiti dell'1,2% su base annua a 5.340,3 miliardi di JPY, poich茅 la debolezza dei Servizi Finanziari e le pressioni valutarie hanno compensato i guadagni di volume nel settore automobilistico.
- L'utile operativo 猫 calato del 49,6% a 244,2 miliardi di JPY; il margine si 猫 ridotto al 4,6% (9,0% nell'anno precedente).
- L'utile attribuibile ai proprietari 猫 sceso del 50,2% a 196,7 miliardi di JPY; l'EPS 猫 passato da 81,81 a 46,80 yen.
- La liquidit脿 e equivalenti sono diminuiti di 515 miliardi di JPY nel trimestre; il rapporto di capitale proprio si 猫 ridotto al 39,5% dopo un riacquisto di azioni per 364 miliardi di JPY.
- Previsioni riviste al rialzo: per l'anno fiscale 26 si prevedono vendite per 21,1 trilioni (+3,9% rispetto alla precedente stima), utile operativo di 700 miliardi (+40%), utile attribuibile di 420 miliardi (+68%, EPS a 105,07 yen), nonostante restino al di sotto dei risultati effettivi del FY25.
- Il dividendo previsto 猫 stato aumentato a 70 yen per azione (rispetto a 68 yen del FY25).
Note di segmento: l'utile del settore motociclistico 猫 cresciuto, mentre quello automobilistico ha registrato una perdita di 29,6 miliardi di yen a causa dei dazi; i ricavi dei Servizi Finanziari sono diminuiti dell'11% su base annua. Il reddito complessivo 猫 diventato negativo (-3,8 miliardi di yen) a causa della traduzione valutaria.
Implicazione: una forte contrazione degli utili nel primo trimestre evidenzia pressioni sui margini nel breve termine, ma il significativo aumento delle previsioni annuali insieme al mantenimento di dividendi e riacquisti suggerisce che la direzione si aspetta un solido recupero nella seconda met脿 dell'anno.

Honda Motor (HMC) Q1 GJ25 (Apr-Jun 2025)
- Der Umsatz sank im Jahresvergleich um 1,2 % auf 5.340,3 Mrd. JPY, da schw盲chere Finanzdienstleistungen und W盲hrungsgegenwinde die Volumenzuw盲chse im Automobilbereich ausglichen.
- Der operative Gewinn fiel um 49,6 % auf 244,2 Mrd. JPY; die Marge schrumpfte auf 4,6 % (9,0 % im Vorjahr).
- Der den Eigent眉mern zurechenbare Gewinn sank um 50,2 % auf 196,7 Mrd. JPY; das Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) betrug 46,80 Yen gegen眉ber 81,81 Yen.
- Barmittel und Zahlungsmittel盲quivalente gingen im Quartal um 515 Mrd. JPY zur眉ck; die Eigenkapitalquote sank nach einem Aktienr眉ckkauf von 364 Mrd. JPY auf 39,5 %.
- Prognose angehoben: F眉r das Gesch盲ftsjahr 26 werden Ums盲tze von 21,1 Billionen (+3,9 % gegen眉ber der vorherigen Prognose), ein operativer Gewinn von 700 Mrd. (+40 %) und ein den Eigent眉mern zurechenbarer Gewinn von 420 Mrd. (+68 %, EPS 105,07 Yen) erwartet, obwohl diese Werte noch unter den tats盲chlichen Zahlen des GJ25 liegen.
- Die Dividendenprognose wurde auf 70 Yen je Aktie erh枚ht (gegen眉ber 68 Yen im GJ25).
Segmenthinweise: Der Gewinn im Motorradsegment stieg, w盲hrend das Automobilsegment aufgrund von Z枚llen einen Verlust von 29,6 Mrd. Yen verzeichnete; die Erl枚se aus Finanzdienstleistungen sanken um 11 % im Jahresvergleich. Das Gesamtergebnis wurde durch W盲hrungsumrechnungen negativ (-3,8 Mrd. Yen).
Implikation: Ein starker Gewinnr眉ckgang im ersten Quartal hebt den kurzfristigen Margendruck hervor, doch die deutliche Anhebung der Jahresprognose sowie die Fortsetzung von Dividenden und Aktienr眉ckk盲ufen deuten darauf hin, dass das Management eine starke Erholung in der zweiten Jahresh盲lfte erwartet.
Positive
- Upgraded FY26 guidance: operating profit raised 40% to 楼700 bn; EPS +68% to 105.07 yen.
- Dividend per share forecast increased to 70 yen, signalling ongoing shareholder-return commitment.
- Substantial share repurchases (楼364 bn in Q1) reduce share count and can support future EPS.
Negative
- Q1 operating profit plunged 49.6%, with margin down to 4.6%.
- Profit attributable to owners fell 50.2%, halving EPS to 46.80 yen.
- Cash balance contracted by 楼515 bn, reflecting negative free cash flow and buybacks.
- Comprehensive income turned negative (-楼3.8 bn) due to FX translation losses.
- Automobile segment posted a 楼29.6 bn operating loss, reversing prior-year profitability.
Insights
TL;DR: Weak Q1 but bullish full-year guidance; mixed signal overall.
Honda鈥檚 50% profit drop underscores tariff and FX sensitivity, with Automobile now loss-making. However, management鈥檚 40% operating-profit upgrade and higher DPS show confidence that margin headwinds are transient. FY26 targets still sit 42% below FY25 actuals, so valuation upside hinges on execution. Liquidity remains adequate, though the 楼515 bn cash burn and aggressive buyback merit monitoring. Net impact: neutral until evidence of second-half rebound materialises.
TL;DR: Guidance lift and capital returns outweigh soft quarter鈥攎ildly positive.
The market typically prices forward earnings; a 68% EPS hike to 105 yen, plus a 3% yield on the new 70-yen dividend and continued buybacks, could drive re-rating despite disappointing Q1. Equity ratio near 40% and diversified cash flows offer balance-sheet comfort. I view the release as moderately accretive for sentiment, particularly if FX stabilises and tariff pass-through improves.

- Barmittel und Zahlungsmittel盲quivalente gingen im Quartal um 515 Mrd. JPY zur眉ck; die Eigenkapitalquote sank nach einem Aktienr眉ckkauf von 364 Mrd. JPY auf 39,5 %.
- Prognose angehoben: F眉r das Gesch盲ftsjahr 26 werden Ums盲tze von 21,1 Billionen (+3,9 % gegen眉ber der vorherigen Prognose), ein operativer Gewinn von 700 Mrd. (+40 %) und ein den Eigent眉mern zurechenbarer Gewinn von 420 Mrd. (+68 %, EPS 105,07 Yen) erwartet, obwohl diese Werte noch unter den tats盲chlichen Zahlen des GJ25 liegen.
- Die Dividendenprognose wurde auf 70 Yen je Aktie erh枚ht (gegen眉ber 68 Yen im GJ25).
Segmenthinweise: Der Gewinn im Motorradsegment stieg, w盲hrend das Automobilsegment aufgrund von Z枚llen einen Verlust von 29,6 Mrd. Yen verzeichnete; die Erl枚se aus Finanzdienstleistungen sanken um 11 % im Jahresvergleich. Das Gesamtergebnis wurde durch W盲hrungsumrechnungen negativ (-3,8 Mrd. Yen).
Implikation: Ein starker Gewinnr眉ckgang im ersten Quartal hebt den kurzfristigen Margendruck hervor, doch die deutliche Anhebung der Jahresprognose sowie die Fortsetzung von Dividenden und Aktienr眉ckk盲ufen deuten darauf hin, dass das Management eine starke Erholung in der zweiten Jahresh盲lfte erwartet.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business
Townsquare is a community-focused digital and broadcast media and digital marketing solutions company principally focused outside the top 50 markets in the U.S. Townsquare Ignite, our robust digital advertising division, specializes in helping businesses of all sizes connect with their target audience through data-driven, results based strategies, by utilizing a) our proprietary digital programmatic advertising technology stack with an in-house demand and data management platform and b) our owned and operated portfolio of more than 400 local news and entertainment websites and mobile apps along with a network of leading national music and entertainment brands, collecting valuable first party data. Townsquare Interactive, our subscription digital marketing services business, partners with small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) to help manage their digital presence by providing a SAAS business management platform, website design, creation and hosting, search engine optimization and other digital services. And through our portfolio of local radio stations strategically situated outside the Top 50 markets in the United States, we provide effective advertising solutions for our clients and relevant local content for our audiences.
Current economic challenges, including high and sustained inflation and interest rates, and enacted and proposed tariffs have caused and could continue to cause economic uncertainty and volatility. These factors could result in advertising and subscription digital marketing solutions cancellations, declines in the purchase of new advertising by our clients, declines in the addition of new digital marketing solutions subscribers, and increases to our operating expenses. We monitor economic conditions closely, and in response to observed or anticipated reductions in revenue, we may institute precautionary measures to address the potential impact to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and liquidity, including wage reduction efforts and controlling non-essential capital expenditures.
The extent of the impact of current economic conditions will depend on future actions and outcomes, all of which remain fluid and cannot be predicted with confidence (including effects on advertising activity, consumer discretionary spending and our employees in the markets in which we operate).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K"). The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition as of the end of the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the Company’s financial condition as of such date are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition as of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates, including those related to assumptions used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, impairment testing of intangible assets, valuation and impairment testing of long-lived tangible assets and investments, the present value of leasing arrangements, share-based payment expense and the calculation of allowance for credit losses and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual amounts and results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies since December 31, 2024. For the Company's detailed accounting policies please refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Standards That Have Not Yet Been Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional categories of information about federal and state income taxes in the rate reconciliation table and to provide more details about reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires the disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal and state taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. As this update only requires additional disclosures, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires the disclosure in the notes to financial statements, information about certain costs and expenses including, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. The guidance also requires a qualitative description of amounts remaining in certain expense captions that are not separately disaggregated on a quantitative basis, as well as the disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating this new standard, but does not expect it to have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as its impact relates to additional disclosures.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized as an obligation until the terms of a customer contract are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control as we satisfy contractual performance obligations. Our contractual performance obligations include the performance of digital marketing solutions, placement of internet-based advertising campaigns, broadcast of commercials on our owned and operated radio stations, and the operation of live events. Revenue is measured at contract inception as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are at a fixed price at inception and do not include any variable consideration or financing components by normal course of business practice. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.
The primary sources of net revenue are the sale of digital and broadcast advertising solutions on our owned and operated websites, radio stations’ online streams, and mobile applications, radio stations, and on third-party websites through our in-house digital programmatic advertising platform. Through our digital programmatic advertising platform, we are able to hyper-target audiences for our local, regional and national advertisers by combining first and third-party audience and geographic location data, providing them the ability to reach a high percentage of their online audience. We deliver these solutions across desktop, mobile, connected TV, email, paid search and social media platforms utilizing display, video and native executions. We also offer subscription digital marketing solutions through Townsquare Interactive to small and medium-sized local and regional businesses in markets outside the top 50 across the United States, including, but not limited to the markets in which we operate radio stations. Our digital marketing solutions include a SAAS business management platform, traditional and mobile-enabled website development and hosting services, e-commerce platforms, search engine and online directory optimization services, online reputation monitoring, and social media management.
Political net revenue includes the sale of advertising for political advertisers. Contracted performance obligations under political contracts consist of the broadcast and placement of digital advertisements. Management views political revenue separately based on the episodic nature of election cycles and local issues calendars.
Net revenue for digital advertisements are recognized as the contractual performance obligations for Townsquare services are satisfied over the duration of the campaigns based on impressions delivered or time elapsed. Net revenue for broadcast advertisements are recognized when the commercial is broadcast. Live events revenue and other non-broadcast advertising revenue are recognized as events are conducted. We measure progress towards the satisfaction of our contractual performance obligations in accordance with the contractual arrangement. We recognize the associated contractual revenue as delivery takes place and the right to invoice for services performed is met.
Net revenue from digital subscription-based contractual performance obligations is recognized ratably over time as our performance obligations are satisfied. Subscription-based service fees are typically billed in advance of the month of service at a fixed monthly fee that is contractually agreed upon at contract inception. The measure of progress in such arrangements is the number of days of successful delivery of the contracted service.
Our advertising contracts are short-term (less than one year) and payment terms are generally net 30 -60 days for traditional customer contracts and net 60 -90 days for national agency customer contracts. Our billing practice is to invoice customers on a monthly basis for services delivered to date (representing the right to invoice). Our contractual arrangements do not include rights of return and do not include any significant judgments by nature of the products and services.
For all customer contracts, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) or the agent (i.e., report revenue on a net basis). Generally, we report revenue for advertising placed on Townsquare properties on a gross basis (the amount billed to our customers is recorded as revenue, and the amount paid to our publishers is recorded as a cost of revenue). We are the principal because we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by our sole ability to monetize the advertising inventory, being primarily responsible to our customers, having discretion in establishing pricing, or a combination of these factors. We also generate revenue through

agency relationships in which revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for advertisers that use agencies.

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; contract receivables are recognized in the period the Company provides services when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. Payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. Payment terms for amounts invoiced are typically net 30 -60 days.
Our contract liabilities include cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations and digital subscriptions in which payment is received in advance of the service and month. These contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the balance in the contract liabilities was $8.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The decrease in the contract liabilities balance at June 30, 2025 is primarily driven by $1.3 million and $7.6 million of recognized revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, offset by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $1.3 million and $7.1 million of revenue that was previously included in our deferred revenue balance. No significant changes in the time frame of the satisfaction of contract liabilities have occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Our capitalized contract acquisition costs include amounts related to sales commissions paid for signed contracts with perceived durations exceeding one year. We defer the related sales commission costs and amortize such costs to expense in a manner that is consistent with how the related revenue is recognized over the duration of the related contracts. We have evaluated the average customer contract duration (initial term and any renewals) to determine the appropriate amortization period for these contractual arrangements. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a balance of $8.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in capitalized contract acquisition costs and recognized $1.2 million and $2.3 million of amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $0.7 million and $2.2 million of amortization, respectively. No
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. When multiple performance obligations are identified, we identify how control transfers to the customer for each distinct contract obligation and determine the period when the obligations are satisfied. If obligations are satisfied in the same period, no allocation of revenue is deemed to be necessary. In the event performance obligations within a bundled contract do not run concurrently, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents the portion of accounts receivable that is not expected to be collected over the duration of its contractual life. Credit losses are recorded when the Company believes a customer, or group of customers, may not be able to meet their financial obligations. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Indefinite-lived assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses and goodwill.

FCC Broadcast Licenses
FCC licenses represent a substantial portion of the Company’s total assets. The FCC licenses are renewable in the ordinary course of business, generally for a maximum of eight years . The fair value of FCC licenses is primarily dependent on the future cash flows of the radio markets and other assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue growth rates, profit margins and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company has selected December 31st as the annual testing date.
The Company evaluates its FCC licenses for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Due to changes in third-party forecasted traditional broadcast revenues in the markets in which we operate, the Company quantitatively evaluated the fair value of its FCC licenses at June 30, 2025.
The key assumptions used in applying the direct valuation method are summarized as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | ||||||||
| Discount Rate | ||||||||
| Long-term Revenue Growth Rate | ( | |||||||
| Low | High | |||||||
| Mature Market Share* | ||||||||
| Operating Profit Margin | ||||||||
Based on the results of the interim impairment assessments of our FCC licenses, as of June 30, 2025 we incurred impairment charges of $1.5 4 74 local markets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The impairment charges were primarily driven by decreases in third-party forecasts of broadcast revenues. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $28.4 million and $29.7 million for FCC licenses in 26 74 local markets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our FCC licenses are dependent upon the expected performance and growth of our traditional broadcast radio operations. In the event broadcast radio revenue experiences actual or anticipated declines, such declines will have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of our FCC licenses, and the Company could recognize additional impairment charges, which could be material.
Unfavorable changes in key assumptions utilized in the impairment assessment of our FCC licenses may affect future testing results. For example, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 100-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital as of the date of our last quantitative assessment would cause the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses to decrease by $20.5 million which would have resulted in an incremental impairment charge of $3.2 million as of June 30, 2025. Further, a 100-basis point decline in the long-term revenue growth rate would cause the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses to further decrease by $10.4 million which would have resulted in an impairment charge of $3.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Finally, a 100-basis point decline in operating profit margins would result in a decrease in the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses of $20.2 million which would result in an incremental impairment charge of $6.0 million. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our FCC licenses are also dependent upon the expected performance and growth of our traditional broadcast radio operations. In the event broadcast radio revenue experiences actual or anticipated declines, such declines will have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of our FCC licenses, and the Company could recognize additional impairment charges, which could be material.
Goodwill
For goodwill impairment testing, the Company has selected December 31st as the annual testing date. In addition to the annual impairment test, the Company regularly assesses whether a triggering event has occurred, which would require interim impairment testing. As of December 31, 2024, the fair values of our National Digital, Townsquare Ignite, Analytical Services, and Townsquare Interactive reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values by approximately 39 %, 59 %, 149 %, and 128 %, respectively. The Local Advertising, Amped, and Live Events reporting units had no
13
The Company considered whether any events have occurred or circumstances have changed from the last quantitative analysis performed as of December 31, 2024 that would indicate that the fair value of the Company's reporting units may be below their carrying amounts. Based on such analysis, the Company determined that there have been no indicators that the fair value of its reporting units may be below their carrying amounts as of June 30, 2025.
Definite-lived intangible assets
The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets were acquired primarily in various acquisitions as well as in connection with the acquisition of software and music licenses.

Note 6. Investments
Long-term investments consist of minority holdings in various companies. As management does not exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investees, the investments are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The initial valuation of equity securities is based upon an estimate of market value at the time of investment, or upon a combination of valuation analyses using both observable and unobservable inputs categorized as Level 2 and Level 3 within the ASC 820 framework.
In accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, the Company measures its equity securities at cost minus impairment, as their fair values are not readily determinable and the investments do not qualify for the net asset value per share practical expedient. The Company monitors its investments for any subsequent observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same investee, at which time the Company would adjust the then current carrying values of the related investment. Additionally, the Company evaluates its investments for any indicators of impairment.

On February 19, 2025, the Company entered into a $490 million Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders and financial institutions party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year , $470 million senior secured Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan") and a five-year , $20 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver"), together the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Company used the approximately $453 million of net proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility (after giving effect to original issue discount, fees, expenses and $10 million of the Revolving Credit Facility that was drawn at closing), together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes on February 19, 2025, and to pay fees and expenses related thereto.
The Company incurred approximately $5.5 million of fees and expenses in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, along with an original issue discount of $23.5 million, using the effective interest method. The Company recognized a $1.5 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2025, comprised of unamortized deferred financing fees previously capitalized in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes.
The Term Loan Facility and revolving loans incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility mature on February 19, 2030. The initial per annum interest rate applicable to the Term Loan Facility is based on current SOFR levels with a 0.50 % per annum SOFR floor and an applicable margin of 500 basis points (or an alternative base rate and an applicable margin of 400 basis points). The per annum interest rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is based on current SOFR levels and an applicable margin of 375 basis points (or an alternative base rate and an applicable margin of 275 basis points). As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 9.32 %, based on current SOFR levels and the applicable margin of 500 basis points. As of June 30, 2025, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility had an interest rate of approximately 8.00 %, based on then current SOFR levels and the applicable margin of 375 basis points.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Secured Credit Facility will be subject to mandatory pre-payments in amounts equal to (1) 100 % of the net cash proceeds from issuances or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of the subsidiary guarantors (other than with respect to certain permitted indebtedness); (2) 100 % of the net cash proceeds from certain sales or other dispositions of assets by the Company or any of the subsidiary guarantors in excess of a certain amount and subject to customary reinvestment provisions and certain other exceptions; and (3) 75 % (with step-downs to 50 %, 25 % and 0 % based upon achievement of specified first lien net leverage ratios) of annual excess cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to exceptions and limitations.
The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, pursuant to a security agreement, dated as of February 19, 2025 (the “Security Agreement”), by and between the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as collateral agent.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and each guarantor’s tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions).
The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and the guarantors to: (1) incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); (2) incur liens; (3) engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; (4) sell certain property or assets; (5) pay dividends or other distributions; (6) make acquisitions, investments, loans and advances; (7) prepay certain indebtedness; (8) change the nature of their business; (9) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (10) incur restrictions on contractual obligations limiting interactions between the Company and its subsidiaries or limit actions in relation to the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including with respect to nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross-default to other indebtedness in an amount equal to the greater of $15 million or 15 % of the Company’s four quarter consolidated EBITDA; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults in an amount equal to the greater of $15 million or 15 % of the Company’s four quarter consolidated EBITDA; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation; and change of control.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, with $20.0 million of available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2025.
The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, based on available market information, the estimated fair value of the Term Loan was $415.7 million. The Company used Level 2 measurements under the fair value measurement hierarchy established under Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).

Note 8. Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately 75.8 % and 62.7 %, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately 86.7 % and 67.3 %, respectively.
The change in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, is driven by the valuation allowance for interest expense carryforwards and non-deductible compensation costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted a budget reconciliation package known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 ("OBBBA"). The Act includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying various provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and expanding certain incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act while accelerating the phase-out of other incentives. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions effective in 2026 and subsequent years.
The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements, and expects an increase in its interest expense deduction which will decrease the deferred tax asset and corresponding valuation allowance related to the interest expense carryforward.
The effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period, and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to the statutory rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has operations and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to certain non-deductible items, state and local income taxes and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
Note 9. Stockholders' Deficit
Stock Options
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, eligible option holders tendered 104,034 options to purchase 104,034 shares of Townsquare common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 72,521 and 149,573 options with grant date fair values of $1.03 and $1.16 and vesting periods of four-years and three-years , respectively, each with ten-year 148,528 options with grant date fair values of $1.09 to $1.27 , respectively. These options contain

market conditions whereby the options will vest and become exercisable subject to the achievement of a specified volume weighted average trading price ("VWAP") over a specified period and continued employment through the performance period each as observed and summarized below, respectively:

| VWAP | Number of Options that Vest | |||||||||||||||||||
| $ | ||||||||||||||||||||
| $ | ||||||||||||||||||||

No portion of the grants will vest unless the VWAP targets are achieved during the respective performance period.
The grant date fair value of stock options with market conditions is estimated using the Monte Carlo option pricing model, while stock options containing only service conditions is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Each model requires an estimate of the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock price, dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. The below table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the equity options granted:
| Monte Carlo Model | Black-Scholes Model | ||||||||||||||||
| Expected volatility | |||||||||||||||||
| Expected term | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk free interest rate | |||||||||||||||||
| Expected dividend yield | |||||||||||||||||
For options only containing service conditions, the expected term was calculated using the simplified method, defined as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of each award, due to the lack of sufficient and meaningful historical exercise data. For options with market-based conditions, the expected term was estimated based on when the options are expected to be exercised. The expected volatility was based on market conditions of the Company. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant which most closely corresponds to the expected term of the option.

Stock Repurchase Plan
On December 10, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase plan, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $50 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock over a three-year period (the "Stock Repurchase Plan"). Repurchases of common stock under the repurchase plan may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, debt covenants and other considerations. Any such repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or other transactions, and may be funded from cash on hand, available borrowings or proceeds from potential debt or other capital markets sources. The Stock Repurchase Plan has substantially the same terms as, and was intended to replace, the 2021 Stock Repurchase Plan, which expired on December 16, 2024.

The incentive compensation to be paid to each employee is fixed at the time of election to participate in the program and the number of shares to be issued is determined based on the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on the settlement date, typically in the fourth quarter of the performance year or during the first quarter following each respective performance year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, a total of $1.2 million and $2.2 million of expense was recognized as a component of stock-based compensation in connection with the stock bonus program, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, a total of $1.8 566,359 shares were granted under the Stock Bonus Program for the performance year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 10. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is generally calculated as income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is generally calculated as income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents. Stock-based compensation awards that are out-of-the-money and stock options and restricted stock units in which the market-based performance criteria have not been met as of the end of the respective reporting period are omitted from the calculation of Diluted EPS.
The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Note 12. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are organized internally by type of products and services provided. Based on the information reviewed by the Company's CEO in his capacity as Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), the Company has identified three segments: Digital Advertising, Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions, and Broadcast Advertising. The remainder of our business is reported in the Other category.
The Company operates in one geographic area. The Company's assets and liabilities are managed within markets outside the top 50 across the United States where the Company conducts its business and are reported internally in the same manner as the Consolidated Financial Statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments is produced for the Company's CEO or included in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Intangible assets consist principally of FCC broadcast licenses and other definite-lived intangible assets and primarily support the Company’s Broadcast Advertising segment. For further information see Note 5, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.
Segment profit is the primary measure the CODM utilizes in assessing segment performance and determining the allocation of resources. Segment Profit is defined as revenue less direct operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. The CODM is the primary individual in control of resource allocation, and the allocation determinations are made in consultation with each respective segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with the CODM to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The most significant allocation determinations made by the CODM pertain to sales accounts and support, capital spending and employee resource allocation. Segment profit is used to monitor budgeted versus actual results and is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing compensation. These determinations are made through regular reviews throughout the year, and on a weekly basis, the CODM considers actual results, as compared to budget and the prior period, when evaluating the allocation of resources.
Direct operating expenses represents our significant expense category and aligns with the segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Segment profit excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments' underlying operating performance, and primarily includes expenses related to corporate stewardship and administration activities, transaction related costs and non-cash impairment charges.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following management’s discussion and analysis is intended to provide the reader with an overall understanding of our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and sources and uses of cash. This section also includes general information about our business and a discussion of our management’s analysis of certain trends, risks and opportunities in our industry. In addition, we also provide a discussion of accounting policies that require critical judgments and estimates. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Note About Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results that are “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 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements often discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “projection,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “can,” “can have,” “likely,” the negatives thereof and other words and terms. Actual events or results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us include the impact of general economic conditions in the United States, or in the specific markets in which we currently do business including supply chain disruptions, inflation, labor shortages, tariffs, and the effect on advertising activity, industry conditions, including existing competition and future competitive technologies, the popularity of radio as a broadcasting and advertising medium, cancellations, disruptions or postponements of advertising schedules in response to national or world events, our ability to develop and maintain digital technologies and hire and retain technical and sales talent, our dependence on key personnel, our capital expenditure requirements, our continued ability to identify suitable acquisition targets, and consummate and integrate any future acquisitions, legislative or regulatory requirements, risks and uncertainties relating to our leverage and changes in interest rates, our ability to obtain financing at times, in amounts and at rates considered appropriate by us, our ability to access the capital markets as and when needed and on terms that we consider favorable to us and other factors discussed in this section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and under “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as other risks discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance. The cautionary statements referred to in this section also should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by us or persons acting on our behalf. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof or as of the date specified herein. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Format of Presentation
Townsquare is a community-focused digital and broadcast media and marketing solutions company principally focused outside the top 50 markets in the U.S. Townsquare Ignite, our robust digital advertising division, specializes in helping businesses of all sizes connect with their target audience through data-driven, results based strategies, by utilizing a) our proprietary digital programmatic advertising technology stack with an in-house demand and data management platform and b) our owned and operated portfolio of more than 400 local news and entertainment websites and mobile apps along with a network of leading national music and entertainment brands, collecting valuable first party data. Townsquare Interactive, our subscription digital marketing services business, partners with small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) to help manage their digital presence by providing a SAAS business management platform, website design, creation and hosting, search engine optimization and other digital services. And through our portfolio of local radio stations strategically situated outside the Top 50 markets in the United States, we provide effective advertising solutions for our clients and relevant local content for our audiences.
We believe that our diversified product offering substantially differentiates us from our competition. This diversification allows us to provide superior solutions to our advertisers and engaging experiences for our audience, underpins our growth strategy and, we believe, helps to mitigate the risks associated with advertising revenue dependency.
26
The Company has identified three segments, which are Digital Advertising, Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions, and Broadcast Advertising, and the remainder of our business is reported in an Other category.
Digital Advertising
Our Digital Advertising segment, marketed externally as Townsquare Ignite, is a combination of our proprietary digital programmatic advertising platform and our owned and operated digital properties, and an in-house demand and data management platform collecting valuable first party data.
Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions
Our Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions segment encompasses Townsquare Interactive, our subscription digital marketing solutions business. Townsquare Interactive offers digital marketing solutions, on a subscription basis, to SMBs in markets outside the top 50 across the United States, including but importantly not limited to the markets in which we operate radio stations. We offer a variety of digital marketing solutions, which enables SMBs to choose the optimal features for their specific business.
Broadcast Advertising
Our Broadcast Advertising segment includes our portfolio of 341 local terrestrial radio stations. Our primary source of Broadcast Advertising net revenue is the sale of advertising on our local radio stations primarily to local and regional spot advertisers and, to a lesser extent, national spot and national network advertisers. We believe we are the largest and best-capitalized owner and operator of radio stations focused solely on markets outside the top 50 markets in the United States. Given the stability of radio’s audience, its broad reach and its relatively low cost as compared to competing advertising media such as television, we believe radio continues to offer an attractive value proposition to advertisers. The price point for radio advertising on a cost per thousand basis is lower than most other local media that deliver similar scale. This makes radio more affordable and accessible for the type of small and mid-sized businesses typically found in our local markets outside the top 50 markets in the U.S.
Other
We report the remainder of our revenue in the Other category, and it includes revenue from our live events, which includes concerts, expositions, and other experiential events. Our live events portfolio includes iconic local events such as WYRK’s Taste of Country, the Boise Music Festival, the Red Dirt BBQ & Music Festival and Taste of Fort Collins. Our primary source of live events net revenue is ticket sales. Our live events also generate revenue through the sale of sponsorships, food and other concessions, merchandise and other ancillary products and services.
Overall
We generate a majority of our advertising revenue by selling directly to local advertisers, as well as to local and regional advertising agencies which affords us the opportunity to better present our products, cross-sell products and more directly influence their advertising and marketing expenditure decisions. A significant percentage of our advertising revenue is generated from the sale of advertising to the automotive, financial services, health services, entertainment, and retail industries.
Our most significant expenses are sales personnel, programming, digital, marketing and promotional, engineering, and general and administrative expenses. We strive to control these expenses by closely monitoring and managing each of our local markets and through efficiencies gained from the centralization of finance, accounting, legal and human resources functions and management information systems. We also use our scale and diversified geographic portfolio to negotiate favorable rates with vendors where feasible.
A portion of our expenses are variable. These variable expenses primarily relate to sales costs, such as commissions and inventory costs, as well as certain programming costs, such as music license fees, and certain costs related to production. Other programming, digital, engineering and general and administrative expenses are primarily fixed costs.
27
Seasonality
Our revenue varies throughout the year. Typically, we expect that our first calendar quarter will produce the lowest net revenue for the year, as advertising expenditures generally decline following the winter holidays. During even-numbered years, net revenue generally includes increased advertising expenditures by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups. Political spending is typically highest during the fourth quarter. Our operating results in any period may be affected by the incurrence of advertising and promotion expenses that typically do not have an effect on net revenue generation until future periods, if at all.
Macroeconomic Indicators
Current economic challenges, including high and sustained inflation and interest rates, and proposed and enacted tariffs have caused and could continue to cause economic uncertainty and volatility. These factors could result in advertising and subscription digital marketing solutions cancellations, declines in the purchase of new advertising by our clients, declines in the addition of new digital marketing solutions subscribers, and increases to our operating expenses. We monitor economic conditions closely, and in response to observed or anticipated reductions in revenue, we may institute precautionary measures to address the potential impact to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and liquidity, including wage reduction efforts and controlling non-essential capital expenditures.
The extent of the impact of current economic conditions will depend on future actions and outcomes, all of which remain fluid and cannot be predicted with confidence (including effects on advertising activity, consumer discretionary spending and our employees in the markets in which we operate).
OVERVIEW OF OUR PERFORMANCE
Changes in Our Business
Recent Developments
On February 19, 2025, the Company entered into a $490 million Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders and financial institutions party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $470 million senior secured Term Loan Facility (the "Term Loan") and a five-year, $20 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver"), together the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Company used the approximately $453 million of net proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility (after giving effect to original issue discount, fees, expenses and $10 million of the Revolving Credit Facility that was drawn at closing), together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes on February 19, 2025, and to pay fees and expenses related thereto.
The Company incurred approximately $5.5 million of fees and expenses in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, along with an original issue discount of $23.5 million, using the effective interest method.

Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $2.8 million, or 2.3%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $4.9 million, or 9.2%, due to decreases in the purchases of advertising by our clients. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Digital Advertising net revenue of $1.0 million, or 2.4%, and a $0.3 million or 1.4% increase in Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net revenue, each as compared to the same period in 2024, due to purchases of new advertising. Our Other net revenue increased $0.9 million, or 19.9%, due to the performance of certain events as compared to 2024.
Direct Operating Expenses
Direct operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $2.7 million, or 3.1%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Broadcast Advertising direct operating expenses decreased by $3.6 million, or 9.6%, and Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions direct operating expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 4.4%, each due to lower compensation as compared to the same period a year ago. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.1 million, or 3.7%, increase in Digital Advertising direct operating expenses due to higher inventory and compensation costs, partially offset by lower bad debt as compared to the same period in 2024.
Segment Profit
Segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.3%, when compared with the same period in 2024, essentially flat. Broadcast Advertising segment profit decreased $1.3 million, or 8.4%, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the decrease in net revenue, partially offset by an increase in Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions segment profit of $0.8 million, or 15.2% as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the increase in revenue and decrease in compensation discussed above. Other segment profit increased $0.5 million, or 201.5%.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $4.5 million, or 54.5%, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to $3.8 million of expense recognized for the cash settlement of options in 2024 that did not reoccur in 2025, and a $0.6 million decrease in expense related to the stock bonus program. For further discussion, see Note 9, Stockholders' Deficit, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company incurred $1.5 million in impairment charges related to FCC licenses 4 of our 74 local markets during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to impairment charges of $28.4 million in 26 of our 74 local markets in the same period a year ago. The impairment charges during the three months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily driven by decreases in third-party forecasts of broadcast revenues. For further discussion, see Note 5, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Unfavorable changes in key assumptions utilized in the impairment assessment of our FCC licenses may affect future testing results. For example, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 100-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital as of the date of our last quantitative assessment would cause the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses to decrease by $20.5 million which would have resulted in an incremental impairment charge of $3.2 million as of June 30, 2025. Further, a 100-basis point decline in the long-term revenue growth rate would cause the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses to further decrease by $10.4 million which would have resulted in an impairment charge of $3.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Finally, a 100-basis point decline in operating profit margins would result in a decrease in the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses of $20.2 million which would result in an incremental impairment charge of $6.0 million. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our FCC licenses are also dependent upon the expected performance and growth of our traditional broadcast radio operations. In the event broadcast radio revenue experiences actual or anticipated declines, such declines will have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of our FCC licenses, and the Company could recognize additional impairment charges, which could be material.
31
During the second quarter of 2024, in connection with an interim goodwill impairment assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of the National Digital and Live Events reporting units exceeded their fair values, resulting in the recognition of a non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million related to certain of its equity securities, which are measured at cost minus impairment.
Net (Gain) Loss on Sale and Retirement of Assets
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized net gains on the sales of assets of $5.9 million, which includes a $5.6 million gain on the sale of land in the Boise, ID market.

Provision for income taxes
We recognized provision for income taxes of $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $18.8 million for the same period in 2024. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately 75.8% and 62.7%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is driven by the valuation allowance for interest expense carryforwards during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the income tax provision is primarily driven by the valuation allowance for interest expense carryforwards resulting from higher non-cash impairment charges and non-deductible compensation costs recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Our effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to statutory rates in the jurisdictions where we have operations and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily relates to certain non-deductible items, state and local income taxes and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $3.7 million, or 1.7%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $9.1 million, or 9.2%, due to decreases in the purchases of advertising by our clients. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Digital Advertising net revenue of $3.6 million, or 4.8%, and an increase in Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net revenue of $1.0 million, or 2.8%, each as compared to the same period in 2024. Other net revenue increased $0.7 million, or 11.5%, due to the performance of certain events as compared to 2024.
Direct Operating Expenses
Direct operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $3.8 million, or 2.3%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Broadcast Advertising direct operating expenses decreased by $5.9 million, or 8.1%, primarily driven by lower compensation costs and music license fees. Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions direct operating expense decreased by $0.9 million or 3.5% due to lower compensation, partially offset by higher software costs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in Digital Advertising direct operating expenses of $2.9 million, or 5.0%, due to higher inventory and compensation costs, partially offset by lower bad debt. Additionally, Other direct operating expenses increased $0.2 million, or 3.9%.
Segment Profit
Segment profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was essentially flat as compared with the same period in 2024. Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions segment profit increased $1.9 million, or 18.6%, Digital Advertising segment profit increased $0.7 million, or 4.1%, and Other segment profit increased $0.5 million, or 71.6%, each as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the increases in net revenue discussed above. These increases were offset by a $3.2 million, or 12.0%, decrease in Broadcast Advertising segment profit, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the decrease in net revenue discussed above.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $3.2 million, or 28.7%, as compared to the same period in 2024 due to $4.6 million of expense recognized for the cash settlement of options in 2024 that did not reoccur in 2025 and a $0.4 million decrease in expense related to the stock bonus program, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in expense recognized for grants during the first half of 2025. For further discussion, see Note 9, Stockholders' Equity, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impairment of Intangible Assets, Investments, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
The Company incurred $1.5 million in impairment charges related to FCC licenses 4 of our 74 local markets during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to impairment charges of $29.7 million related to FCC licenses in 26 of our 74 local markets during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily driven by decreases in third-party forecasts of broadcast revenue. For further discussion, see Note 5, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, in connection with an interim goodwill impairment assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of the National Digital and Live Events reporting units exceeded their fair values, resulting in the recognition of total non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $2.7 million.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $1.5 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt. The $1.5 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt is comprised of the write-off of $1.5 million of unamortized deferred financing fees previously capitalized in connection with the 2026 Notes. For further discussion, see Note 7, Long-Term Debt, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other expense (income), net
AG真人官方ized Gain on Investment
In February of 2024, one of the Company’s investees announced the completion of its acquisition by a third-party. The Company recognized a $4.0 million gain on this transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Insurance Recoveries
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded total insurance recoveries of $0.3 million related to construction and flood damages in two of its local markets.
Unrealized Gain on Investment
Other expense (income), net included unrealized gains related to measuring the fair value of one of the Company's former investees. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company recorded an unrealized net gain of $0.2 million.
Provision for income taxes
We recognized a provision for income taxes of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $19.0 million for the same period in 2024. Our effective tax rate for the period was approximately 86.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 67.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is driven by the valuation allowance for interest expense carryforwards. The decrease in the income tax provision is primarily driven by the valuation allowance for interest expense carryforwards resulting from higher non-cash impairment charges and non-deductible compensation costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
35
Our effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period and can be influenced by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes to statutory rates in the jurisdictions where we have operations and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily relates to certain non-deductible items, state and local income taxes and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (29,484) | $ | (32,531) | |||||||
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $10.7 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily related to higher cash interest payments in 2025, due in part to the timing of the refinancing in February 2025 and the quarterly interest payment requirements for the Term Loan, partially offset by changes in working capital balances, particularly accrued expenses, accounts payable, and accounts receivable.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared $4.0 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to net cash proceeds of $5.8 million related to the sale of land in Boise, ID, as compared to cash proceeds of $4.0 million received in 2024 related to the acquisition of one of the Company's investments by a third party.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $37.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $39.2 million for the same period in 2024. The primary differences in net cash used in financing activities in 2025 as compared to 2024 include: $1.5 million of shares repurchased to cover employee tax withholdings on restricted stock that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $22.1 million for repurchases of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024; the repayment of $467.4 million of principal amount of the 2026 Notes, offset by proceeds from the Term Loan of $441.7 million, net of fees and expenses in 2025, as compared to voluntary repurchases of 2026 Notes in the amount of $13.6 million in 2024, and a $4.1 million decrease in proceeds from stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period a year ago.
36
Sources of Liquidity and Anticipated Cash Requirements
We fund our working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from our operating, investing, and financing activities. Based on current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from our operating, investing, and financing activities will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, and other funding requirements for at least one year from the date of this report. Future capital requirements may be materially different than those currently planned in our budgeting and forecasting activities and depend on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. We have focused on and will continue to monitor our liquidity in response to current and future economic challenges and uncertainty.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $439.7 million of outstanding indebtedness, net of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs of $27.3 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, with $20.0 million of available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2025.
Based on the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2025, we expect our debt service requirements to be approximately $54.9 million over the next twelve months. See Note 7, Long-Term Debt, in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Senior Secured Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2025 we had $3.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $59.8 million of receivables from customers, which historically have had an average collection cycle of approximately 50 days.
On April 29, 2025, the board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend of $3.3 million was paid to holders of record as of July 18, 2025, on August 1, 2025.
On August 4, 2025, the board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend will be payable on November 3, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 27, 2025.
Our anticipated uses of cash in the near term include working capital needs, interest payments, debt amortization payments, dividend payments, excess cashflow payments that may be required under the terms of the Credit Agreement, other obligations, and capital expenditures. The Company believes that the cash generated by its operations should be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments, dividend payments, other obligations, capital expenditures, and to comply with financial covenants under our debt agreements, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow, which are in turn subject to prevailing economic conditions, increases or decreases in advertising spending, changes in the highly competitive industry in which we operate, which may be rapid, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, while the incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations. Such debt instruments could introduce covenants that might restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that we could obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all.
Additionally, on a continuing basis, we evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions and divestitures to enhance our strategic and competitive position as well as our financial performance. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions may require additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.
We closely monitor the impact of capital and credit market conditions on our liquidity and our ability to refinance in the future. We also routinely monitor the changes in the financial condition of our customers and the potential impact on our results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
37
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant estimates, including those related to determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, impairment testing of intangible assets, valuation and impairment testing of long-lived tangible assets, the present value of leasing arrangements, share-based payment expense and the calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and any such changes will be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
We believe the accounting policies and estimates discussed within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K reflects our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as filed in such report.
Recent Accounting Standards
For a discussion of accounting standards updates that have been adopted or will be adopted in the future, please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), with the assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this review, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement. An evaluation of effectiveness is subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may decrease over time.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any control system, including the potential for human error and the possible circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Additionally, judgments in decision-making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. An effective control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the system are adequately met. Accordingly, the management of the Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the control system can prevent or detect all error or fraud. Finally, projections of any evaluation or assessment of effectiveness of a control system to future periods are subject to the risks that, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in an entity’s operating environment or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There is no current material pending litigation to which we are a party and no material legal proceedings were terminated, settled or otherwise resolved during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

These matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. However, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Please refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding known material risks that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
