The Company reported operating loss of approximately $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to operating income of approximately $91.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One's CEO and President stated, "our Adjusted EBITDA for FY23 came in just above the high-end of our previous guidance at $128.4m. As expected, we suffered a drop in radio division broadcast cash flow as a result of reduced political advertising compared to Q4 2022. Other divisions performed broadly in line with expectations, although the continuing churn in cable television subscribers remains an industry-wide concern. For Q1 our national radio revenues were hit by tough comparatives on a handful of large clients plus a general softness in the market. Second quarter radio pacing's are sequentially better, with same station core revenues down mid-single-digits and low-single digits including political. Cable television affiliate fees continue to be a drag, with Q1 down 12.8% year over year. Demand for some of our digital products was soft in Q1, with net digital segment revenue down 7.3%. National direct digital revenue was down double digits, partially offset by growth in VOD, streaming audio and podcast. We are optimistic about political advertising revenues for the remainder of the year, which should benefit both our radio and digital divisions. During Q1 we repurchased $75.0 million of our 2028 notes at 88.3%, and we ended the quarter with approximately $155.7 million of cash."

These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative commissions. We recognized approximately $156.2 million of revenue from our radio broadcasting segment during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately $156.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million, primarily due to lower political revenue offset by new stations in the Indianapolis and Houston markets. Based on reports prepared by Miller Kaplan, the markets we operate in decreased 5.5% in total revenues. We experienced net revenue reduction in all of our existing radio markets, with the exception of Cleveland and Columbus. We recognized approximately $52.9 million of revenue from our Reach Media segment during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately $43.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $9.8 million.

This increase was primarily due to the Houston station acquisition, which was completed in August 2023, offset by a decrease in national advertising.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of long-lived assets, increased to approximately $362.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, up 9.0% from the approximately $332.9 million incurred for the comparable period in 2022. The overall operating expense increase was driven by higher programming and technical expenses and higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher corporate selling, general and administrative expenses. There was an increase of approximately $12.4 million in Radio broadcasting's programming and technical expenses and selling and general expenses primarily related to acquisitions in our Indianapolis and Houston markets. There was an increase in Cable television's programming and technical expenses due to higher content amortization expense and increased payroll expenses. Reach Media's selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.2 million primarily due to the Fantastic Voyage cruise. There was an increase of approximately $3.7 million in corporate selling, general and administrative expenses relating to higher third-party consulting fees.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of long-lived assets, increased to approximately $88.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, up 11.6% from the approximately $79.1 million incurred for the comparable period in 2023. The overall increase in operating expense was due to an uptick in third-party consulting fees and an increase in expenses resulting from the Houston station acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately $2.9 million. This decrease is due to capitalized assets becoming fully depreciated.

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of approximately $0.7 million due to capitalized assets becoming fully depreciated.

Impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets was approximately $129.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $40.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $88.6 million. The impairment loss of $129.3 million in 2023 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 throughout 2023 and an increase in discount rate during the first three quarters in 2023.

There was no impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was driven by an impairment loss associated with the sale of the KROI-FM radio broadcasting license.

Interest income was approximately $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $6.0 million. The increase was primarily due to higher cash and cash equivalents balances during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Interest income was approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by higher cash and cash equivalents balances in the three months ended March 31, 2024 than in the corresponding period in 2023.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $56.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately $61.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately $5.6 million. The decrease is due to lower overall debt balances outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately $25.0 million of its $825.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2028 ("2028 Notes") at an average price of approximately 89.1% of par.

Other income, net increased $80.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the gain on sale of the Company's MGM Investment, which was recognized in other income, net, during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized income related to the MGM investment as well as the Paycheck Protection Program loan program ("PPP") and related accrued interest that was forgiven in other income, net.

Other income, net, was approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to other expense, net of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $7.9 million on the pre-tax income of $17.6 million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 45.0%. The difference between the effective rate and the Company's statutory rate relates primarily to the effect of state taxes, uncertain tax positions, Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 382 adjustments, and permanent differences associated with non-deductible officer compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $16.4 million on pre-tax income of $53.1 million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 30.9%. This rate primarily reflects taxes at statutory tax rates, and the impact of permanent differences associated with non-deductible officer compensation, and non-taxable PPP Loan income forgiveness. In general, permanent book to tax differences have a greater impact on pre-tax income when the income is lower in the given period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $2.5 million. This amount is based on the actual effective tax rate of 23.5%. This rate includes $0.3 million of discrete tax benefits primarily related to deferred rate changes. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $1.2 million on pre-tax loss from consolidated operations of approximately $3.6 million which results in an effective tax rate of 32.5%. This rate includes $0.1 million of discrete tax benefits primarily related to statutory state tax rate changes.

Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $9.1 million and $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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 June 07, 2024, we owned and/or operated 72 independently formatted, revenue producing broadcast stations (including 57 FM or AM stations, 13 HD stations, and the 2 low power television stations) branded under the tradename "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, noncontrolling 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 income (loss) plus (1) depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived 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, less (2) other income, net and interest income. Net 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.
