Mar 12 2026 12:00 BST

SILVER SPRING, Md. , March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban One, Inc. (NASDAQ: UONEK and UONE, referred to as, "Urban One," the "Company", "we", "our" and/or "us") today reported its results for the three months ended December 31, 2025. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net revenue was approximately $97.8 million, a decrease of 16.5% from the same period in 2024. The Company reported operating loss of approximately $54.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to operating loss of approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Broadcast and digital operating income¹ was approximately $23.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of 38.3% from the same period in 2024. Net loss was approximately $54.4 million or $(12.24) per share (basic) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to net loss of $35.7 million or $(7.81) per share (basic) for the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA² was approximately $15.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $26.9 million for the same period in 2024.

On December 18, 2025, the Company closed a private placement debt exchange with holders of the 7.375% Senior Secured Notes (the "2028 Notes") representing more than 97% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding. Pursuant to the private placement, the Company (i) tendered for $185.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes which the Company purchased for cancellation for $111.0 million and $1.1 million consent fee in cash, (ii) issued $60.6 million aggregate principal amount of 10.500% first lien senior secured notes due 2030 (the "2030 First Lien Notes"), and (iii) issued $291.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Second Lien Secured Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Second Lien Notes"). Following the transactions (collectively "2025 Refinancing"), $11.8 million of the 2028 Notes remained outstanding.

On December 18, 2025, the Company also entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among the Company, as the administrative borrower, together with the other borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement"). The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2021 and was also entered into facilitate the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, commitments in the aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, with incremental capacity to incur an additional principal amount of up to $25.0 million thereunder, with the proceeds thereof to be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, permitted investments and permitted dividends, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Urban One's CEO and President stated, "As expected, we had a tough fourth quarter due to a combination of non-recurring political advertising, soft radio markets and declining audience delivery in our cable television ("cable TV") business. Despite this, we were able to achieve full year Adjusted EBITDA within our previous guidance range at $56.7 million. The biggest revenue drag in the fourth quarter resulted from weak cable TV prime delivery, down approximately 20.0% from the third quarter, although we have seen a significant recovery in the first quarter 2026 as the revised Nielsen methodology has given us an approximate 40.0% - 50.0% lift compared to the fourth quarter 2025. Radio pacings in the first quarter of 2026 are currently (5.0)%, but we remain positive on the outlook for mid-term political revenues later in the year. I was pleased that we were able to repurchase a significant amount of our 2028 Notes at a discount, extend out the maturity on all but a small stub of the notes, and increase the size and term of our ABL Credit Agreement. This transaction sets up the company with a stable capital structure and extended maturity runway to allow us to continue to de-lever the business. In January 2026 we also regained compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements by effectuating a 1-for-10 reverse stock split."

2025 Refinancing

The Company performed an assessment of the 2025 Refinancing and determined it met the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standards Codification No. 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors ("ASU 470-60"). For each series of the 2028 Notes exchanged, the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the 2030 First Lien Notes and 2031 Second Lien Notes were compared to the carrying value of the 2028 Notes, including deferred issuance costs. As the undiscounted cash flows associated with the 2030 First Lien Notes and 2031 Second Lien Notes exceeded the carrying value of the applicable 2028 Notes exchanged, no gain was recorded.

In accordance with ASU 470-60, the carrying value of the 2030 First Lien Notes and 2031 Second Lien Notes was established at the carrying value of the applicable 2028 Notes. The difference between the principal amount of the 2031 Second Lien Notes and 2030 First Lien Notes and the carrying value of the applicable 2028 Notes was recorded as a premium and is included in long-term debt, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a premium of approximately $69.2 million on the 2031 Second Lien Notes and 2030 First Lien Notes as the difference between the principal balance of the 2031 Second Lien Notes and 2030 First Lien Notes and the carrying value of the 2028 Notes exchanged.

The premium will result in interest expense being recognized at an effective interest rate of approximately 2.68% and 3.91% through the term of the 2030 First Lien Notes and 2031 Second Lien Notes. The difference in the contractual interest payments and interest expense will reduce the premium.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized approximately $97.8 million in net revenue compared to approximately $117.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024. These amounts are net of agency commissions. We recognized approximately $35.1 million of revenue from our Radio Broadcasting segment during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $47.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $12.6 million, primarily driven by non-returning political revenues of $8.8 million and weaker overall market demand from the national and local advertisers. We recognized approximately $13.8 million of revenue from our Reach Media segment during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $9.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $4.2 million. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in event revenue due to the timing of the Fantastic Voyage Cruise in the fourth quarter of 2025 vs. the second quarter of 2024. We recognized approximately $14.7 million of revenue from our Digital segment during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $18.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $3.6 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in direct revenue streams and political revenue. We recognized approximately $34.9 million of revenue from our Cable Television segment during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $42.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $7.1 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the churn of subscribers and lower advertising sales.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, were approximately $90.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $91.1 million for the comparable period in 2024. Operating expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2025 include $7.7 million of debt refinancing costs as well as $6.7 million of expenses related to the Fantastic Voyage cruise, which took place in the fourth quarter of 2025 vs. the second quarter of 2024. Excluding these expense items, operating expenses were down by approximately 16.8%, driven mainly by revenue-related variable expenses such as commissions, sales rep fees, traffic acquisition costs as well as headcount related costs and third-party professional fees.

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets was approximately $55.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $24.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The impairment loss of $55.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 consists of impairment losses of $0.5 million within the Reach Media reporting unit, $53.1 million within the Cable Television reporting unit and $1.7 million within the Digital reporting unit.

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $6.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $4.5 million which is primarily driven by the additional TV One Trade Name and radio broadcasting license amortization of approximately $4.4 million.

Interest and investment income was approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by lower cash and cash equivalents balances in interest bearing accounts during the three months ended December 31, 2025, than in the corresponding period in 2024.

Interest expense was approximately $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $11.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.8 million. The decrease was driven by lower outstanding balance of the 2028 Notes due to repurchases of approximately $96.7 million of its 2028 Notes at an average price of approximately 53.6% of par, during the first nine months in 2025.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $9.2 million on the pre-tax loss of approximately $63.5 million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 14.4%. The difference between the effective rate and the Company's statutory rate relates primarily to the effect of state taxes, changes in our valuation allowance, and permanent differences associated with non-deductible expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $27.6 million on pre-tax loss of approximately $7.8 million resulting with an annual effective tax rate of 352.0%.

Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $3.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in capital expenditure is driven by the build-out of a studio in the Indianapolis radio market.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 13,773 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.1 million at an average price of $8.20 per share. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 138,654 shares of Class A Common Stock in the amount of approximately $2.1 million at an average price of $15.02 per share, of which 90,889 shares of Class A were held in treasury stock as of December 31, 2024. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 70,329 shares of Class D Common Stock in the amount of approximately $0.7 million at an average price of $10.22 per share. All share information and average share prices have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split that occurred on January 22, 2026.

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 30 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 December 31, 2025, we owned and/or operated 76 independently formatted, revenue producing broadcast stations (including 58 FM or AM stations, 16 HD stations, and the 2 low power television stations we operate), 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 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 goodwill and 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 goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on retirement of debt, employment agreement award and other compensation, corporate costs, non-recurring litigation settlement costs, non-recurring debt refinancing 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.
