Digital Represents 55% of September YTD Total Net Revenue and Total Segment Profit

Reduced Debt by $17 million Since the February 2025 Refinancing

PURCHASE, N.Y., Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Townsquare Media, Inc. (NYSE:TSQ) ("Townsquare", the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"I am pleased to share that Townsquare's third quarter results met our previously issued net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance, reflecting our team's hard work in the current macroeconomic environment. In the third quarter, net revenue decreased -4.5% year-over-year excluding political, and -7.4% in total, meeting our guidance, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased -2.0% year-over-year excluding political, and -13.5% in total, also meeting our guidance. Importantly, due to our strong expense management, Adjusted EBITDA margins excluding political improved year-over-year, despite revenue declines. In addition, our third quarter net loss was $5.5 million," commented Bill Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Townsquare Media, Inc. "In the first nine months of 2025, Townsquare's total Digital net revenue increased +2.1% year-over-year, representing 55% of the Company's total net revenue, and Digital Segment Profit increased +3.6% year-over-year, operating at a 26% profit margin, and representing 55% of our total Segment Profit. In particular, I'd like to highlight the strong performance of our Direct Digital Advertising revenue streams (including the direct sales of our owned and operated digital properties and our programmatic offering), which increased +7% year-over-year in the third quarter, partially offsetting the significant short-term headwinds we are currently facing due to the deterioration in online audience trends; and the strong profit performance of Townsquare Interactive, which delivered Segment Profit growth of +21% year-over-year in the third quarter (+$1.1 million) and +19% year-over-year in the September year-to-date period (+$3.0 million)."

Mr. Wilson continued, "Despite numerous headwinds that we have encountered, we are proud that the execution of our Digital First Local Media strategy has allowed us to deliver excellent results for our clients, while also producing strong cash flow from operations due to the thoughtful and deliberate management of our expense base. Since our successful February refinancing, we have applied our cash flow towards organic investment in our digital growth engine and debt repayment, while also maintaining our high yielding dividend. Since the refinancing, we have reduced our outstanding debt by $17 million, including $6 million of Term Loans which we repurchased at a discount in the third quarter. Looking forward, we remain confident in our ability to build shareholder value for our investors through long-term net revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow growth, net leverage reduction, and future dividend payments," concluded Mr. Wilson.

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend will be payable on February 2, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 26, 2026. As of the last closing price that reflects a dividend yield of approximately 13%.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2024

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $8.6 million, or 7.4%, to $106.8 million as compared to $115.3 million in the same period in 2024. Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $7.5 million, or 13.8%, and Digital Advertising net revenue decreased $0.6 million, or 1.5%, due to decreases in the purchases of advertising by our clients and political revenue, and Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net revenue decreased $0.4 million or 2.3%, due to reduced sales velocity as a result of lower headcount.

Excluding political revenue of $0.2 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, net revenue decreased $5.0 million, or 4.5%, to $106.6 million, Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $4.1 million, or 8.1%, to $46.8 million, and Digital Advertising net revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 1.2%, to $40.2 million.

Net (Loss) Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we reported net loss of $5.5 million, a decrease of $16.8 million as compared to net income of $11.3 million in the same period last year. The decrease was due to the $8.6 million decrease in net revenue, a $6.2 million increase in transaction and business realignment costs and a $3.4 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in direct operating expenses and a $4.0 million decrease in the income tax benefit. Adjusted Net Income decreased $5.2 million to $0.9 million, as compared to $6.1 million for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $3.4 million, or 13.5%, to $22.0 million, as compared to $25.5 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Political) decreased $0.4 million, or 2.0%, to $21.9 million, as compared to $22.3 million in the same period last year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased $12.3 million, or 3.7%, to $320.9 million as compared to $333.2 million in the same period in 2024. Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $16.6 million, or 10.8%, due to decreases in the purchases of advertising by our clients and political revenue. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in Digital Advertising net revenue of $3.0 million, or 2.6%, an increase in Other net revenue of $0.8 million, or 11.6%, and an increase in Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net revenue of $0.6 million, or 1.1%.

Excluding political revenue of $1.3 million and $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, net revenue decreased $7.4 million, or 2.3% to $319.6 million, Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $11.9 million, or 8.0%, to $136.5 million, and Digital Advertising net revenue increased $3.2 million, or 2.7%, to $119.3 million.

Net (Loss) Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we reported net loss of $5.0 million, an improvement of $31.0 million as compared to a net loss of $36.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net loss was due to a $31.7 million decrease in non-cash impairment charges, an $8.8 million decrease in direct operating expenses, a $7.5 million increase in gain on sale and retirement of assets, an $11.7 million decrease in the income tax provision and a $3.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation. These variances were partially offset by an $8.1 million increase in interest expense and a $5.2 million decrease in other (expense) income primarily due to a $4.0 million gain on the third-party acquisition of an investee in 2024. Adjusted Net Income decreased $5.3 million to $3.6 million as compared to $8.9 million for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $2.6 million, or 3.8% to $66.6 million, as compared to $69.2 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Political) increased $1.6 million, or 2.4%, to $65.5 million, as compared to $63.9 million in the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2025, we had a total of $3.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $463.4 million of outstanding indebtedness, representing 4.74x and 4.71x gross and net leverage, respectively, based on Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, of $97.8 million.

Actual events or results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us include the impact of general economic conditions in the United States, or in the specific markets in which we currently do business including supply chain disruptions, inflation, labor shortages and the effect on advertising activity, industry conditions, including existing competition and future competitive technologies, the popularity of radio as a broadcasting and advertising medium, cancellations, disruptions or postponements of advertising schedules in response to national or world events, our ability to develop and maintain digital technologies and hire and retain technical and sales talent, our dependence on key personnel, our capital expenditure requirements, our continued ability to identify suitable acquisition targets, and consummate and integrate any future acquisitions, legislative or regulatory requirements, risks and uncertainties relating to our leverage and changes in interest rates, our ability to obtain financing at times, in amounts and at rates considered appropriate by us, our ability to access the capital markets as and when needed and on terms that we consider favorable to us and other factors discussed in this section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this report and under "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025, as well as other risks discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions

In this press release, we refer to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Political), Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share which are financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before the deduction of income taxes, interest expense, net, (gain) loss on repurchases and extinguishment of debt, transaction and business realignment costs, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairments, net (gain) loss on sale and retirement of assets and other expense (income), net. We define Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Political) as Adjusted EBITDA less political net revenue, net of a fifteen percent deduction to account for estimated national representative firm fees, music licensing fees and sales commissions expense. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income before the deduction of transaction and business realignment costs, impairments, gain on sale of investment, change in fair value of investment, net (gain) loss on sale and retirement of assets, (gain) loss on repayments, repurchases and extinguishment of debt, gain on insurance recoveries and net income attributable to non-controlling interest, net of income taxes stated at the Company's applicable statutory effective tax rate. Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding. We define Net Leverage as our total outstanding indebtedness, net of our total cash balance as of September 30, 2025, divided by our Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. These measures do not represent, and should not be considered as alternatives to or superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. You should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses or charges that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation, and we do not infer that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Political) to facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), taxation and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance, and to facilitate year over year comparisons, by backing out the impact of political revenue which varies depending on the election cycle and may be unrelated to operating performance. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share to assess total company operating performance on a consistent basis. We use Net Leverage to measure the Company's ability to handle its debt burden. We believe that these measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of loss (gain) on extinguishment and repurchases of debt, transaction costs, net (gain) loss on sale and retirement of assets and investments, business realignment costs and impairments. Further, while discretionary bonuses for members of management are not determined with reference to specific targets, our board of directors may consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Political), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Net Leverage when determining discretionary bonuses.
