Adjusted EBITDA2 was approximately $26.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $27.1 million for the same period in 2023.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One’s CEO and President stated, “Our Adjusted EBITDA of $103.5 million came in at the mid-point of guidance, helped by strong political advertising revenues in the radio division. The radio outperformance was offset by declines in both advertising and affiliate revenues at the cable TV segment, as audience delivery continued to underperform expectations. We are however seeing some stabilization in the first quarter cable TV delivery, which should help to mitigate the continuing decline of linear TV subscribers. First quarter core radio revenue demand weakened, with pacings down 13.6%, although the second quarter is showing signs of improvement, with core pacings currently down 1.7%. Our digital segment posted solid fourth quarter results, despite the challenging environment, with Adjusted EBITDA up 50.7% for the quarter. Cost containment and continued de-levering remains the focus for 2025, and the company remains in a strong position in terms of liquidity, with $137.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at year-end.”
