Mixed Q4 results. Total company Q4 revenue of $320.1 million, an increase of 8.0%, was better than our $309.7 million estimate, driven by 19% growth in its Digital businesses. Both TV and Radio declined in the quarter due to the absence of year earlier Political advertising. Q4 adj. EBITDA of $16.2 million was slightly below our $19.0 million estimate.
Meta takes its business in-house. The recent financial results were overshadowed by a late announcement that Meta plans to take its advertising sales in-house, ending its relationship with Entravision and all its sales partners. Meta accounted for roughly 52% of total company revenues and 40% of adj. EBITDA in 2023.

Debt Offering. Last night after market close, CoreCivic announced an offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes due 2029. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be issued in the offering was increased to $500 million from the previously announced $450 million. The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be approximately $490.3 million.
Uses. CoreCivic intends to use the net proceeds, together with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to fund the concurrent cash tender offer for any and all of the $593.1 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes. Any remaining funds will be used to redeem 2026 Notes that remain outstanding thereafter. With excess cash on hand, the Company could pay most of the remaining principal with cash, modestly tapping into the revolver.

BTC Mining. Bit Digital produced 128.7 BTC during the month of January, a 11.7% decrease from 145.7 BTC in the prior month. An increase in network difficulty, modest decrease in transaction fees, and fewer days in the month were causes of the decrease. The Company’s active hash rate was approximately 2.73 EH/s compared to 2.50 EH/s. The Company is on its way towards the active mining fleet goal of around 6.0 EH/s during 2024, in our view.

The U.S. job market continues to display remarkable resiliency, even as the blistering pace of hiring has started to moderate from the torrid levels seen over the past couple of years. The latest employment data suggests that while businesses may be tapping the brakes on their aggressive hiring sprees, the overall labor landscape remains favorable for job seekers.
According to the ADP National Employment Report released on March 6th, private sector employment increased by 140,000 jobs in February. While this figure fell short of economists’ projections of 150,000 new jobs, it represents a solid uptick from the upwardly revised 111,000 jobs added in January. The leisure and hospitality sector led the way, tacking on 41,000 positions, followed by construction (28,000) and trade, transportation and utilities (24,000).
The ADP report, which is derived from payroll data, serves as a precursor to the highly anticipated monthly Employment Situation report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Economists anticipate that the BLS data, set for release on March 10th, will reveal an even more robust job gain of around 198,000 for February.
This sustained momentum in hiring underscores the enduring strength of the U.S. labor market, even as the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes aimed at taming inflation have stoked concerns about a potential economic downturn. The resilience of the job market has been a crucial bulwark against recessionary forces, buttressing consumer spending and overall economic growth.
However, there are signs that the once-blazing hot job market is starting to cool, albeit in a relatively controlled and gradual manner. The number of job openings, a key indicator of labor demand, has steadily declined from its peak of 12 million in March 2022 but remains elevated at nearly 8.9 million as of January, according to the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) report.
This gradual tapering of job openings suggests that employers are becoming more judicious in their hiring practices, potentially a reflection of the broader economic uncertainty and the lagging effects of the Fed’s rate hikes. Nevertheless, the fact that openings remain well above pre-pandemic levels highlights the continued tightness of the labor market.
Moreover, the JOLTS data revealed a modest decline in the number of voluntary quits, often viewed as a barometer of workers’ confidence in their ability to secure better employment opportunities. While still historically high, the dip in quits could signal that some of the exceptional job-hopping dynamics that characterized the pandemic era are beginning to normalize.
From an investor’s perspective, the persistent strength of the job market, coupled with gradually decelerating inflation, presents a Goldilocks scenario – an economy that is neither running too hot nor too cold. This environment could potentially extend the current economic expansion, providing a favorable backdrop for corporate profitability and stock market performance.
However, investors should remain vigilant for any signs of a more pronounced slowdown in hiring or a significant uptick in layoffs, which could presage a broader economic downturn. Moreover, the Fed’s policy path remains a crucial variable, as overly aggressive rate hikes aimed at vanquishing inflation could potentially undermine the job market’s resilience.
Overall, the latest employment data depicts a job market that, while losing some of its blistering momentum, remains remarkably sturdy and continues to defy expectations of an imminent downturn. For investors, this Goldilocks scenario could prolong the economic cycle, but close monitoring of labor market dynamics and the Fed’s policy trajectory will be essential in navigating the road ahead.
In a world of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, gold has once again proven its mettle, reaching unprecedented heights and capturing the attention of investors worldwide. On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, the precious metal achieved a historic milestone, with its price soaring to an all-time high of $2,141.79 per ounce, surpassing the previous record set just three months ago.
This remarkable rally, fueled by a confluence of factors, serves as a reminder of gold’s enduring appeal as a safe-haven asset and a hedge against market volatility. As investors navigate the ever-changing landscape of financial markets, the demand for gold has surged, driven by expectations of a potential pivot by the Federal Reserve toward monetary easing, geopolitical tensions, and the looming risk of a stock market correction.
At the heart of gold’s ascent lies the anticipation of a shift in monetary policy by the Fed. With signs indicating a potential easing of interest rates on the horizon, investors have flocked to the precious metal, which typically benefits from lower borrowing costs. Swaps markets currently reflect a 64% chance of a rate cut in June, a higher probability than early last month, further fueling speculation and driving gold’s allure.
Moreover, the world stage has been characterized by escalating geopolitical tensions, with conflicts and uncertainties on various fronts. The attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, highlighting the volatile situation in the Middle East, have underscored the need for safe-haven assets like gold. As investors seek refuge from these turbulent times, the precious metal’s role as a hedge against turmoil has been reinforced.
The specter of a potential stock market correction has also played a significant role in gold’s ascent. With weak U.S. manufacturing data on Friday serving as a warning sign, investors have sought to mitigate risk by diversifying their portfolios and turning to the time-honored stability of gold.
While the surge in gold prices has been remarkable, it is important to note that this rally has highlighted a growing disconnect between spot prices and outflows from bullion-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Persistent central bank demand for the precious metal and robust physical demand from gold bars and coins have helped offset these outflows, underscoring the broad-based appeal of gold across various investor segments.
As we look ahead, the factors driving gold’s recent success show no signs of abating. The upcoming U.S. presidential election, coupled with China’s economic woes, create a potentially volatile environment ripe for safe-haven investments. Additionally, gold’s role as an inflation hedge cannot be overlooked, as the precious metal has historically served as a bulwark against eroding purchasing power.
For investors seeking to capitalize on this golden opportunity, a well-diversified portfolio that includes exposure to gold can offer a measure of protection against market turbulence and geopolitical uncertainties. Whether through physical holdings, gold-backed ETFs, or mining stocks, there are numerous avenues to gain exposure to this precious commodity.
However, it is crucial to approach gold investments with a long-term perspective and a thorough understanding of the market dynamics. While gold has surpassed its previous nominal highs, its inflation-adjusted peak from 1980 would equate to more than $3,000 in today’s dollars, highlighting the potential for further upside.
In conclusion, gold’s record-breaking performance serves as a testament to its enduring value and resilience in the face of economic and geopolitical uncertainties. As investors navigate the complexities of today’s financial landscape, the precious metal’s allure as a safe-haven asset and a hedge against volatility remains undimmed. By carefully considering gold’s role within a diversified portfolio, investors can position themselves to weather potential storms and capitalize on the opportunities that arise in times of uncertainty.

BOE Disclosure. The term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

Provides Update on Digital Commercial Partnership with Meta Platforms
Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.05 Per Share Payable on March 29, 2024
Company to Cancel Today’s Conference Call
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 twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2023, and provided an update on its digital commercial partnership with Meta Platforms. Entravision is canceling the conference call scheduled for 5 p.m. Eastern Time today.
Digital Commercial Partnerships Business Update
Through Entravision Global Partners, our digital commercial partnerships business, the Company acts as an intermediary between primarily global media companies and advertisers. These global media companies include Meta, for whom the Company acts as an Authorized Sales Partner (ASP), ByteDance, X Corp., Spotify, Snap and Pinterest, as well as other media companies, in 31 countries throughout the world.
On March 4, 2024, the Company received a communication from Meta that it intends to wind down its ASP program globally and end its relationship with all of its ASPs, including Entravision, by July 1, 2024. For full year 2023, the Company estimates Meta’s ASP program represented approximately $23.8 million of the Company’s $57.7 million total consolidated EBITDA and $586.4 million of the Company’s $1,106.9 million of total consolidated revenue. Entravision has initiated a review of its operating strategy and cost structure and will provide an update on associated plans as soon as practicable.
As of December 31, 2023, Entravision reported $118.9 million of cash and marketable securities. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants under its current credit facility and, except for quarterly principal scheduled payments, has no maturities under that facility until March 17, 2028.
“While we are disappointed in Meta’s decision, we are confident in Entravision’s long-term opportunities given the strength of our advertising and marketing platforms and the need for our solutions globally. We are conducting an extensive review of our strategy and cost structure to reinforce our operating foundation and ensure we are best positioned to capitalize on Entravision’s global, market leading advertising, media and technology solutions.

Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has once again captured the attention of investors worldwide by setting a new all-time high price of nearly $69,000. This remarkable achievement serves as a reminder that even in the ever-evolving landscape of finance, there are always opportunities to be found – often in unexpected places.
The recent surge in Bitcoin’s value can be attributed to the launch of several spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) earlier this year. These ETFs have provided everyday investors with unprecedented access to the cryptocurrency market, fueling a surge in demand that has outpaced the available supply. With institutional investors and ETFs scooping up more Bitcoin than is being mined daily, a supply crunch has emerged, further driving up prices.
While the crypto market has been the center of attention, this event also highlights the potential for overlooked investment opportunities in other sectors. Just as Bitcoin was once dismissed by many as a passing fad, there are countless emerging growth companies and innovative technologies that are currently being underestimated by the broader market.
Small-cap stocks, in particular, often fly under the radar of mainstream investors, yet they can offer significant upside potential for those willing to conduct thorough research and identify promising ventures. From groundbreaking medical innovations to disruptive technologies reshaping entire industries, the small-cap universe is brimming with hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
The key to successful investing in these often-overlooked areas lies in taking a long-term perspective and maintaining a diversified portfolio. Just as the crypto market has experienced its fair share of volatility over the years, emerging growth companies can be subject to significant price fluctuations as they navigate the challenges of scaling their operations and gaining market share.
However, for those with the patience and risk tolerance to withstand these ups and downs, the potential rewards can be substantial. Many of today’s industry titans, from Amazon to Tesla, were once small-cap companies with ambitious visions and innovative products that captured the imagination of forward-thinking investors.
As the Bitcoin story continues to unfold, it serves as a powerful reminder that investment opportunities can arise in unexpected places. By keeping an open mind, conducting thorough research, and maintaining a disciplined approach, investors can position themselves to capitalize on the next big thing – whether it’s in the realm of cryptocurrencies, cutting-edge technologies, or any other sector ripe for disruption.
Take a moment to take a look at Bitcoin Depot and Bit Digital who are exploring and pioneering the cryptocurrency sector.

2024 Guidance:
Establishing full-year 2024 guidance with revenue and adjusted EBITDA1 growth of 5% at mid-point
MCLEAN, Va., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — V2X, Inc. (NYSE:VVX) announced fourth quarter and full-year 2023 financial results.
“I’m pleased to report a strong finish to 2023, with record revenue and strong operational performance which drove significant cash generation and net debt reduction,” said Chuck Prow, President and Chief Executive Officer of V2X. “I’d like to thank our teams that demonstrated agility and excellent performance, delivering 8% pro forma revenue1 growth for the full-year and 6% for the quarter. We made significant progress advancing V2X as a leader in the operational segment of the federal services market while continuing to position the company for long-term growth. The leading indicators for our business remain strong with a backlog of approximately $13 billion, $9 billion of bids submitted currently under evaluation, and a robust pipeline of opportunities valued at $15 billion expected to be submitted over the next twelve months. Our capabilities and position in an expanding market, present opportunities to drive continued growth and value for our shareholders and clients.”
“V2X achieved several milestones during the fourth quarter, which includes our first substantial foreign military sales (FMS) win valued at approximately $400 million over the next five years,” said Mr. Prow. “This program is a long-term aviation support and training contract in the Middle East and was a direct result of our multi-year FMS campaign. Importantly, our evolution as a company has been an enabler to participate in this market. With this opportunity, the total value of V2X FMS’ portfolio is approximately $700 million with accretive margins. We plan to build on this success and continue pursuing FMS opportunities that leverage our geographic footprint, strong partnerships, and core capabilities.”
Mr. Prow continued, “Our ability to provide full life cycle solutions from concept to fielding and sustainment is a significant differentiator that’s yielding results. During the quarter, we demonstrated our capabilities through the fielding of a defense platform that modernized existing systems. This program launched as an engineering development and prototyping effort with a new client and today has yielded a brand-new product that’s designed, produced, and sustained by V2X. Additionally, our engineering, integration, modernization and sustainment solutions resulted in approximately $70 million of awards to V2X in the fourth quarter.”
Mr. Prow concluded, “I’d like to thank our teams for their contributions in 2023 and progress executing our strategic framework: Expand the Base, Capture New Markets, Deliver with Excellence, and Enhance Culture. Looking ahead, V2X continues to transform to deliver enhanced capabilities in an expanding market. We have strong momentum, robust backlog, a highly aligned pipeline, limited recompetes, and high free cash generation that provides an excellent fundamental profile to support value creation.”
Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
“V2X reported revenue of $1.0 billion in the quarter, which represents 6.4% year-over-year growth,” said Shawn Mural, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Revenue growth in the quarter was achieved through exceptional team performance delivering milestones ahead of schedule, expansion on existing programs, and new business. This solid execution resulted in year-over-year revenue growth of 31% in the Pacific and 18% in the Middle East.”
“For the quarter, the Company reported operating income of $38.5 million and adjusted operating income1 of $76.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $82.1 million with a margin of 7.9%. Fourth quarter GAAP diluted EPS was ($0.02), due primarily to merger and integration related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and interest expense. Adjusted diluted EPS1 for the quarter was $1.22.”
“V2X’s ability to generate strong cash flow with low capital expenditures is an important attribute of our business and one that we are extremely focused on as a primary avenue to enhance value for shareholders. I’m pleased to announce that during the quarter, our teams demonstrated outstanding performance in all aspects of cash conversion, driving significant collections, a record low DSO, and operating cash flow that exceeded our guidance. Net cash provided by operating activities was $188.0 million year to date. Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities1 year to date was $159.5 million, adding back $26.9 million of M&A and integration costs with $13.4 million of CARES act payments, and removing the contribution of the master accounts receivable purchase or MARPA facility of $68.8 million.”
“Solid cash generation enabled net debt reduction of $137.1 million for the year. At the end of the quarter, net debt for V2X was $1,083.6 million. Net consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA1 (net leverage ratio) was 3.3x, improved from 3.7x at the end of 2022. Additionally, we believe our strong fundamentals will allow V2X to achieve a net leverage ratio at or under 3.0x by the end of 2024.”
“Total backlog as of December 31, 2023, was $12.8 billion. Funded backlog was $2.8 billion. Bookings in the quarter were $0.6 billion, resulting in a trailing twelve-month book-to-bill of 1.1x. It’s important to note that backlog and bookings do not include the full performance period of the $400 million FMS program as the contract is being definitized and the $458 million F-5 Adversary aircraft award, discussed last quarter, as it remains in protest,” said Mr. Mural.
Full-Year 2023 Results
Full-year revenue was $3.963 billion, up 8% pro forma year-on-year. The Company reported full-year operating income of $124.4 million and adjusted operating income1 of $271.4 million. Full-year EBITDA1 was $293.9 million with a margin of 7.4%. Full-year GAAP diluted EPS was ($0.73), due primarily to merger and integration related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and interest expense. Adjusted diluted EPS1 for 2023 was $3.74.
2024 Guidance
Mr. Mural concluded, “Based on the positive trends in our business we are setting the mid-point of our guidance for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1 at $4.150 billion and $308 million, respectively, representing approximately 5% year-over-year growth. We expect revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be weighted more heavily in the second half of the year. Importantly, guidance at the mid-point assumes approximately 90% of revenue from existing contracts and less than 5% from recompetes.”
