Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One's CEO and President stated, “Third quarter results came in slightly softer than expected across the board. Core radio, excluding political, finished down 8.1%, and our Radio segment is currently pacing down 30.2% all-in and 6.4% ex political for the fourth quarter of 2025. Revenues at our Reach Media and Digital segments were down 40.0% and 30.0% respectively, which was on the lower end of expectations. Cable TV advertising was down 5.4% and affiliate revenue was down 9.1% driven by continuing subscriber churn. In light of the soft overall market conditions, we are reducing our full year guidance from $60.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA2 to $56.0 to $58.0 million. Our focus remains on controlling costs, managing debt, leverage and liquidity. During the third quarter of 2025, we repurchased $4.5 million of our 2028 Notes at an average price of approximately 52.0% of par, reducing our outstanding debt balance to $487.8 million.”

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 connected television (“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 September30, 2025, we recognized approximately $92.7 million in net revenue compared to approximately $110.4 million during the three months ended September30, 2024. These amounts are net of agency commissions. We recognized approximately $34.7 million of revenue from our Radio Broadcasting segment during the three months ended September30, 2025, compared to approximately $39.7 millionfor the three months ended September30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $5.0 million primarily driven by weaker overall market demand from the national and local advertisers and non-returning political revenues.We recognized approximately $6.1 million of revenue from our Reach Media segment during the three months ended September30, 2025, compared to approximately $10.2 millionfor the three months ended September30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $4.1 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in national sales. We recognized approximately $12.7 million of revenue from our Digital segment during the three months ended September30, 2025, compared to approximately $18.3 million during the three months ended September30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $5.6 million. This decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in direct revenue streams and political revenue.We recognized approximately $39.8 millionof revenue from our Cable Television segment during the three months ended September30, 2025, compared to approximately $42.8 million during the three months ended September30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $3.0 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the churn of subscribers and lower advertising sales.
The following charts indicate the sources of our net revenues for the three months and year ended September30, 2025:

(a)Effective January 1, 2025, segment information for the prior periods has been recast to include reclassification of a portion of revenues from our CTV offering from the Digital segment to the Cable Television segment.
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, were approximately $83.7 million for the three months ended September30, 2025, compared to approximately $87.4 million for the comparable period in 2024. The overall decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower expenses across most segments and lower third-party professional fees.
There was no impairment of goodwill and intangible assets during the three months ended September30, 2025. The Company recorded impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of approximately $46.8million for the three months ended September30, 2024. The impairment loss of approximately $46.8million during the three months ended September30, 2024 was associated with the impairment of broadcasting licenses within the Radio Broadcasting segment and the TV One Trade Name. The primary factors leading to the impairments were an increase in discount rate, continued decline of projected gross market revenues for Radio Broadcasting, projected revenues for TV One and a decline in operating profit margin.
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $6.1million for the three months ended September30, 2025, compared to approximately $1.2million for the three months ended September30, 2024, an increase of approximately $4.9million due to the TV One Trade Name amortization and radio broadcasting license amortization as a result of the Company's change from indefinite-lived to a finite-lived intangible asset in 2025.
Interest and investment income was approximately $0.5million for the three months ended September30, 2025, compared to approximately $1.1million for the three months ended September30, 2024. The decreasewas driven by lower cash and cash equivalents balances during the three months ended September30, 2025, than in the corresponding period in 2024.
Interest expense was approximately $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to approximately $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $4.5 million of its 2028 Notes at a weighted average price of approximately 52.0% of par, resulting in a net gain on retirement of debt of approximately $2.1 million.
For the three months ended September30, 2025, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $1.1million on the pre-tax loss of approximately $3.9million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 28.4%. For the three months ended September30, 2024, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $1.8million on pre-tax loss of approximately $33.2million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 5.5%. This rate includes $2.9 million of discrete tax expense primarily related to return to provision adjustments, changes in valuation allowance for certain of our state net operation losses, and stock-based compensation.
Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $3.1million and $1.6millionfor the three months ended September30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended September30, 2025, the Company repurchased 176,591 shares of Class A Common Stock of approximately $0.3million at an average price of $1.75 per share. During the three months ended September30, 2025, the Company repurchased 592,822 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.4million at an average price of $0.73 per share.During the three months ended September30, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,015,023 shares of Class A Common Stock in the amount of approximately $2.0 million at an average price of $2.01 per share and repurchased 586,989 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.8 million at an average price of $1.31 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 September30, 2025, the Company owned and/or operated 74 independently formatted, revenue producing broadcast stations (including 57 FM or AM stations, 15 HD stations, and the 2 low power television stations the Company operates), located in 13 of the most populous African-American 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 plus (1) depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on retirement of debt, corporate costs, non-recurring litigation settlement 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 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 “Corporate/Eliminations/ Other” line item in the reconciliation to the pre-tax income. 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. We also present Adjusted EBITDA as net revenue less (1) programming and technical, (2) sales and marketing, (3) general and administrative operating expenses, plus (4) severance-related costs, (5) non-recurring litigation settlement costs, and (6) other costs (income).3 For the three months ended September30, 2025 and 2024, Urban One had 44,366,979 and 47,105,290 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis (basic), respectively.
