    SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban One, Inc. (NASDAQ:UONEK) today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net revenues were approximately $117.7 million, a decrease of 9.2% from the same period in 2023. The Company reported operating loss of approximately $60.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to operating income of approximately $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Broadcast and digital operating income1 was approximately $34.2 million, a decrease of 27.7% from the same period in 2023. Net loss was approximately $45.4 million or $(0.94) per share (basic) compared to income of $70.4 million or $1.48 per share (basic) for the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA2 was approximately $28.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $37.5 million for the same period in 2023.

    (PRNewsfoto/Urban One, Inc.)

    Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One's CEO and President stated, "On a same station basis our radio division finished Q2 -5.6% excluding political, and -3.0% with political. We saw a sequential improvement in national revenues vs. Q1, which was offset by weaker local revenues. Q3 core radio revenue is currently pacing down 6.9% on a same station basis, down 5.1% including political, and up 7.0% overall. We are starting to see a significant uptick in political advertising revenues, and remain optimistic for the remainder of the year, which should benefit both our radio and digital divisions. Our Cable TV business continues to suffer from subscriber churn and audience delivery shortfall, impacting both advertising and affiliate revenues, although we are seeing a bounce-back in ratings and delivery in Q3. Our digital business experienced weaker advertising demand than prior year, but remains well positioned for the second half of the year, particularly with political and CTV advertising. During Q2 we repurchased an additional $35.5 million of our 2028 notes at 78.0%, and we ended the quarter with approximately $132.4 million of cash."

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

    Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, were approximately $93.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, down 0.4% from the approximately $93.7 million for the comparable period in 2023. The overall decrease in operating expense was primarily due to a non-cash benefit related to change in fair value of the Employment Agreement Award liability, offset by higher third-party consulting and audit expenses.

    Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $1.1 million due to additional depreciation on leasehold improvements and asset retirement obligation assets during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

    Impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets was approximately $80.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The impairment loss of $80.8 million in the second quarter 2024 was entirely associated with the impairment of broadcasting licenses within the radio broadcasting segment. The primary factors leading to the impairments were a decline in projected gross market revenues and operating profits and an increase in discount rate.

    Interest income was approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by lower cash and cash equivalents balances in the three months ended June 30, 2024, than in the corresponding period in 2023.

    Interest expense was approximately $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $1.6 million. The decrease was due to lower overall debt balances outstanding. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately $35.5 million of its 2028 Notes at an average price of approximately 78.0% of par, resulting in a net gain on retirement of debt of approximately $7.4 million.

    Other income, net, was approximately $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $96.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the gain on sale of the Company's MGM Investment, which was recognized in other income, net, during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

    For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $18.5 million. This amount is based on the actual effective tax rate of 29.1%. This rate includes $0.1 million of discrete tax benefits primarily related to deferred rate changes. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $23.2 million on pre-tax income from consolidated operations of approximately $94.4 million which results in an effective tax rate of 24.6%. This rate includes $23.9 million of discrete tax expense primarily related to the gain on our MGM investment.

    Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 449,277 shares of Class A Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.9 million at an average price of $2.06 per share and repurchased 113,283 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.2 million at an average price of $1.57 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock and repurchased 18,459 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.1 million at an average price of $6.00 per share.

    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 59 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 August 09, 2024, 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 income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, interest income, non-controlling interests in income of subsidiaries, other income, net, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets and (gain) loss on retirement of debt. However, given the diverse nature of our business, station operating income is not truly reflective of our multi-media operation and, therefore, we use the term "broadcast and digital operating income." Broadcast and digital operating income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Nevertheless, broadcast and digital operating income is a significant measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our core operating segments. Broadcast and digital operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations, apart from expenses associated with our fixed assets and goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets, income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt financings and retirements, corporate overhead and stock-based compensation. Our measure of broadcast and digital operating income is similar to industry use of station operating income; however, it reflects our more diverse business and therefore is not completely analogous to "station operating income" or other similarly titled measures as used by other companies. Broadcast and digital operating income does not represent operating income or loss, or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.





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