Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One's CEO and President stated, “Second quarter results were impacted by weaker than expected performance in our Reach Media and Digital segments. Some of this is due to the timing of our annual Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage, which generated $9.6 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2024 and will take place in fourth quarter this year. Additionally, client attrition and lower CPM's at Reach Media meant the segment was loss-making for the quarter. Our Digital business experienced a combination of lower advertising demand and reduced streaming CPM's compared to the second quarter of 2024. Core radio advertising finished down 11.8% excluding digital, as we continue to experience double-digit declines in national radio advertising demand. Core radio pacings for the third quarter are currently (8.3)% or (5.6)% excluding political, with local pacing flat year-over-year, so we are seeing some sequential improvement in radio. Cable TV advertising was down 4.2% and affiliate revenue was down 11.7% driven by continuing subscriber churn. Based on the broad economic headwinds being experienced, we are reducing our full year guidance to $60.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA2. In a challenging marketplace, our focus remains on controlling costs, managing leverage and retaining our strong liquidity position. During the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $64.0 million of our 2028 Notes at an average price of approximately 51.8% of par, reducing our outstanding debt balance to $492.3 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 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 June30, 2025, we recognized approximately $91.6 million in net revenue compared to approximately $117.7 million during the three months ended June30, 2024. These amounts are net of agency commissions. We recognized approximately $36.7 million of revenue from our Radio Broadcasting segment during the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $42.0 million for the three months ended June30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $5.3 million, primarily driven by weaker overall market demand from the national advertisers and lower event revenues. We recognized approximately $5.3 million of revenue from our Reach Media segment during the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $18.9 million for the three months ended June30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $13.6 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in overall demand and the timing of the Fantastic Voyage cruise sailing that took place in May 2024. The 2025 Fantastic Voyage cruise is scheduled to take place in October 2025. We recognized approximately $10.3 million of revenue from our Digital segment during the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $14.1 million during the three months ended June30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $3.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in national digital sales and direct revenue streams. We recognized approximately $40.1 millionof revenue from our Cable Television segment during the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $43.3 million during the three months ended June30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $3.2 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the churn of subscribers.

(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, wereapproximately $78.1 million for the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $93.3 million for the comparable period in 2024. The overalldecrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower expenses across most segments and lower third-party professional fees.
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets was approximately $130.1million during the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to $80.8million for the three months ended June30, 2024. The impairment loss of $130.1million during the three months ended June30, 2025 was driven by approximately $121.3million of impairment of radio broadcasting licenses within the Radio Broadcasting segment, impairment loss of $4.9 million within the Digital reporting unit, and impairment loss of $3.9million in the Radio Broadcasting reporting units. The primary factors leading to the impairment was a continued decline of projected gross market revenues and a decline in operating profit margin. Due to industry and macro-economic conditions along with ongoing declines in national and local radio listenership, the Company reassessed the useful life of our Radio Broadcasting licenses. On June 1, 2025, the Company prospectively changed the useful life of these broadcasting licenses from indefinite-lived to finite-lived intangible assets and recorded amortization expense of $1.3million for the three months ended June30, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $3.5million for the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $3.0million for the three months ended June30, 2024, an increase of approximately $0.5million 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, offset by additional depreciation on leasehold improvements during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest and investment income was approximately $0.6million for the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $1.8million for the three months ended June30, 2024. The decreasewas driven by lower cash and cash equivalents balances during the three months ended June30, 2025, than in the corresponding period in 2024.
Interest expense was approximately $9.7million for the three months ended June30, 2025, compared to approximately $12.4million for the three months ended June30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.7million. During the three months ended June30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $64.0million of its 2028 Notes at a weighted average price of approximately 51.8%of par, resulting in a net gain on retirement of debt of approximately $30.3million.
For the three months ended June30, 2025, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $21.4million on the pre-tax loss of approximately $99.4million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 21.5%. This rate includes $6.4million of discrete tax expense related to the change of accounting estimate for radio broadcasting licenses that impacted our valuation allowance. For the three months ended June30, 2024, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $18.5million on pre-tax loss of approximately $63.6million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 29.1%. This rate includes $0.1 million of discrete tax benefits primarily related to deferred rate changes.
Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $1.2millionand $2.2millionfor the three months ended June30, 2025and 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended June30, 2025, the Company repurchased 226,041 shares of Class A Common Stock of approximately $0.4million at an average price of $1.63 per share. During the three months ended June30, 2025, the Company repurchased 200,549 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.1million at an average price of $0.59 per share.During the three months ended June30, 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.

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 June30, 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) 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. 3 For the three months ended June30, 2025 and 2024, Urban One had 44,738,306 and 48,483,639 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis (basic), respectively.
