Scripps to report fourth-quarter 2024 operating results on March 11, new earnings call date and time March 12
CINCINNATI, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ:SSP) will now report fourth-quarter 2024 operating results after the markets close on Tuesday, March 11. The call with the company's senior management team will take place at 9 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, March 12.
The company is delaying the release because it continues to actively negotiate refinancing transactions relating to its term loan and revolving credit facility with existing lenders and potential new debt capital providers. The company expects to be able to provide an update on the refinancing transaction and the results of those negotiations on its rescheduled conference call. The release had been scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 27, and the call for Friday morning, Feb. 28.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management's current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of the industry and the economy, the company's plans and strategies, anticipated events and trends, and other future conditions.

The company's actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the company's actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: change in advertising demand, fragmentation of audiences, loss of affiliation agreements, loss of distribution revenue, increase in programming costs, changes in law and regulation, the company's ability to identify and consummate strategic transactions, the controlled ownership structure of the company, and the company's ability to manage its outstanding debt obligations. A detailed discussion of such risks and uncertainties is included in the company's Form 10-K, on file with the SEC, in the section titled "Risk Factors." Any forward-looking statement made in this document is based only on currently available information and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.
