SILVER SPRING, Md., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban One, Inc. (NASDAQ:UONEK) today reported its results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net revenue was approximately $92.2 million, a decrease of 11.7% from the same period in 2024. The Company reported operating income of approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to operating income of approximately $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Broadcast and digital operating income¹ was approximately $23.0 million, a decrease of 28.1% from the same period in 2024. Net loss was approximately $11.7 million or $(0.26) per share (basic) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net income of $7.5 million or $0.15 per share (basic) for the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA² was approximately $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $22.3 million for the same period in 2024.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One's CEO and President stated, "First quarter results were broadly in line with expectations: core radio advertising finished at (12.4)% excluding digital, and Cable TV advertising was (6.3)%. Our cable TV ratings stabilized significantly in the first quarter of 2025 and are performing in line with our 2025 budget. Second quarter core radio advertising pacings have weakened over the past several weeks, and are now (8.7)%. Our first quarter 2025 digital revenues were down (16.1)% driven by expected weakness in streaming and podcasting revenues. Based on our year to date performance, we reaffirm our full year guidance of $75 million in Adjusted EBITDA². Our cumulative debt repurchases so far in 2025 are $88.6 million at an average price of 53.9%, resulting in reduced gross debt of $495.9 million, and we currently have approximately $79.8 million of cash on hand. In a challenging marketplace, our focus remains on controlling costs, managing leverage and retaining a strong liquidity position."

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company modified the composition of two of our reportable segments to reflect changes in how they operate their business. The Company transferred the CTV offering within our Digital segment to our Cable Television segment. This change aligns the CTV offering with the results of operations within our Cable Television segment. Prior period Cable Television and Digital segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, prior period segment information has been recast between the Sales and marketing and the General and administrative to conform the presentation of significant segment expenses used to evaluate performance by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized approximately $92.2 million in net revenue compared to approximately $104.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. These amounts are net of agency commissions. We recognized approximately $32.6 million of revenue from our Radio Broadcasting segment during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $36.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $3.8 million, primarily driven by weaker overall market demand from the national advertisers and lower political revenues. We recognized approximately $5.9 million of revenue from our Reach Media segment during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.6 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in overall demand and attrition of advertisers. We recognized approximately $10.2 million of revenue from our Digital segment during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $12.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.0 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in national digital sales offset by an increase in podcast revenue. We recognized approximately $44.2 million of revenue from our Cable Television segment during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $48.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $3.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the churn of subscribers.

The following charts indicate the sources of our net revenues for the three months and year ended March 31, 2025:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Net revenue	$ 92,235	$ 104,410	$ (12,175)	(11.7) %

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of intangible assets, were approximately $80.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $88.3 million for the comparable period in 2024. The overall decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower expenses across most segments, lower third-party professional fees, and lower office space lease costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $0.5 million due to the TV One Trade Name amortization as a result of the Company's change from indefinite-lived to a finite-lived intangible asset during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Impairment of intangible assets was approximately $6.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to no impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The impairment loss of $6.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by approximately $6.4 million of impairment of broadcasting licenses within the Radio Broadcasting segment. The primary factors leading to the impairment was a continued decline of projected gross market revenues and a decline in operating profit margin.

Interest and investment income was approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by lower cash and cash equivalents balances during the three months ended March 31, 2025, than in the corresponding period in 2024.

Interest expense was approximately $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $28.2 million of its 2028 Notes at a weighted average price of approximately 58.0% of par, exhausting the June 2024 Authorization and leaving $56.4 million remaining under the March 2025 Authorization.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $15.7 million on the pre-tax income of approximately $3.9 million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 399.5%. This rate includes $14.6 million of discrete tax expense related to valuation allowance for net operating losses, and $0.2 million of discrete tax expense related to stock-based compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $2.5 million on pre-tax income of approximately $10.6 million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 23.5%. This rate includes $0.3 million of discrete tax benefits primarily related to deferred rate changes.

Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 449,252 shares of Class A Common Stock of approximately $0.7 million at an average price of $1.48 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 303,622 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.3 million at an average price of 0.87 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of Class A common stock and repurchased 396,052 shares of Class D Common Stock for approximately $1.4 million at an average price of $3.50 per share.

Urban One Inc. (urban1.com), together with its subsidiaries, is the largest diversified media company that primarily targets Black Americans and urban consumers in the United States. The Company owns TV One, LLC (tvone.tv), a television network serving more than 35 million households, offering a broad range of original programming, classic series and movies designed to entertain, inform, and inspire a diverse audience of adult Black viewers. As of March 27, 2025, we owned and/or operated 72 independently formatted, revenues producing broadcast stations (including 57 FM or AM stations, 13 HD stations, and the 2 low power television stations) branded under the trade name "Radio One" in 13 urban markets in the United States. Through its controlling interest in Reach Media, Inc. (blackamericaweb.com), the Company also operates syndicated programming including the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, and the DL Hughley Show. In addition to its radio and television broadcast assets, Urban One owns iOne Digital (ionedigital.com), our wholly owned digital platform serving the African American community through social content, news, information, and entertainment websites, including its Cassius, Bossip, HipHopWired and MadameNoire digital platforms and brands. Through our national multi-media operations, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African American and urban audiences.

Notes:

¹	"Broadcast and digital operating income": The radio broadcasting industry commonly refers to "station operating income" which consists of net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, interest and investment 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 intangible 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 and intangible 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.

²	"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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on retirement of debt, employment agreement award and other compensation, corporate development costs, severance-related costs, investment income, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, loss from ceased non-core business initiatives less (2) other income, net and interest and investment 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 and intangible 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.
