SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC), a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company, today announced financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Record quarterly advertising revenue
  • Net revenue up 14% over the prior-year quarter
  • Net income attributable to common stockholders down 71% compared to the prior-year quarter
  • Consolidated EBITDA down 45% compared to the prior-year quarter
  • Operating cash flow up 45% over the prior-year quarter
  • Free cash flow down 74% compared to the prior-year quarter
  • Quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share

“We achieved a record quarterly advertising revenue of $274.4 million, up 14% year-over-year, led by strength in our Digital segment, which now comprises 84% of total revenue,” said Chris Young, Chief Financial Officer. “We continued to execute on our Digital transformation strategy during the quarter with the signing of two new partnerships with Match and Pinterest to further diversify our portfolio of digital solutions. While non-returning political revenue and sales mix contributed to the year-over-year decline in our Consolidated EBITDA, we anticipate increased political spending ahead of the 2024 elections will benefit our Television and Audio segments and Consolidated EBITDA in the quarters to come.”

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share on the Company’s Class A and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of $4.4 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on December 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 2023, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on December 14, 2023. The Company currently anticipates that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis; however, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to approval by the Board.

Net revenue in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $274.4 million, up 14% from $241.0 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, $42.6 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to various acquisitions, which did not fully contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of $6.1 million attributable to our television segment, primarily due to decreases in political advertising revenue and national advertising revenue, partially offset by increases in local advertising revenue and spectrum usage rights revenue. In addition, the overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of $3.1 million attributable to our audio segment, primarily due to a decrease in political advertising revenue, and decreases in local and national advertising revenue.

Cost of revenue in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $199.3 million, up 27% from $157.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased cost of revenue related to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to various acquisitions, which did not fully contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $53.8 million, up 9% from $49.3 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, $4.1 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the timing of the 2023 annual restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant to certain employees, which was made in February 2023 compared to the 2022 annual grant, which was made in December 2022, and due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue, an increase in salary expense, and due to various acquisitions, which did not fully contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, $0.5 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the 2023 annual RSU grant timing mentioned above, and due to an increase in salaries. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million attributable to our television segment.

Corporate expenses in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $13.3 million, up 40% from $9.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the 2023 annual RSU grant timing mentioned above and RSU grant to our new CEO, and increases in professional service fees.

Of the overall increase, $140.9 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to various acquisitions, which did not fully contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period.

In addition, the overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of $4.9 million attributable to our audio segment, primarily due to a decrease in political advertising revenue, and decreases in local and national advertising revenue.

Cost of revenue for the nine-month period of 2023 totaled $562.9 million, up 30% from $432.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase was due to increased cost of revenue related to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to various acquisitions, which did not fully contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period.

Operating expenses for the nine-month period of 2023 totaled $163.1 million, up 16% from $140.5 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, $18.2 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the 2023 annual RSU grant timing mentioned above, and due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue, an increase in salary expense, and due to various acquisitions, which did not fully contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period. Additionally, of the overall increase in operating expenses, $0.9 million was attributable to our television segment primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the 2023 annual RSU grant timing mentioned above, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, $3.5 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the 2023 annual RSU grant timing mentioned above, and due to an increase in salaries and increased rent expense in the temporary office space until the move to our new permanent offices, which was completed in June 2023.

Corporate expenses for the nine-month period of 2023 totaled $35.8 million, up 34% from $26.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the 2023 annual RSU grant timing mentioned above and RSU grant to our new CEO, and increases in professional service fees, audit fees and rent expense.
