Townsquare Media, Inc. (NYSE: TSQ) (“Townsquare”, the "Company,"
"we," "us," or "our") announced today its financial results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“I am pleased to share that Townsquare’s third
quarter results met our previously issued guidance. In the third
quarter, net revenue excluding political revenue declined -4%
year-over-year (and decreased -5% year-over-year in total), and
Adjusted EBITDA decreased -12% year-over-year. Our Digital
Advertising segment delivered revenue and profit growth once again
in the third quarter, as September year-to-date revenue and
Adjusted Operating Income increased +10% and +19%, respectively,
each as compared to the prior year. In total, Digital now
represents 52% of Townsquare’s total September year-to-date net
revenue and 57% of our total September year-to-date Adjusted
Operating Income,” commented Bill Wilson, Chief Executive Officer
of Townsquare Media, Inc. “Our performance this year, and
particularly the growth of our Digital Advertising segment, has
reinforced our confidence in our Digital First Local Media
Strategy, our deliberate focus on markets outside of the Top 50,
and the long-term, profitable growth potential of our digital
platform.”
Mr. Wilson continued, “The strong cash
generation characteristics of our assets allowed us to produce $39
million of cash flow from operations in the first nine months of
2023, an increase of $7 million as compared to the prior year. We
could not be more pleased to share that given our strong cash
position, we were able to repurchase and retire approximately
$14 million of our Unsecured Senior Notes at a discount during
the third quarter, bringing our year-to-date total bond repurchases
to $27 million. In addition, we repurchased approximately
94,000 Class A shares in the third quarter (in total, we’ve
repurchased 1.7 million shares in 2023), and continue to pay a
high-yielding dividend while also investing in our business. We
also ended the quarter with a strong cash balance of
$38 million and net leverage of 4.49x, retaining financial
flexibility moving forward.”
The Company announced today that its Board of
Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share.
The dividend will be payable on February 1, 2024 to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on January 2, 2024.

Quarter Ended
September 30, 2023 Compared to the
Quarter Ended September 30, 2022
Net RevenueNet revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $5.5 million, or
4.6%, to $115.1 million as compared to $120.6 million in the same
period in 2022. Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $5.1
million, or 8.6%, and Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net
revenue decreased $2.9 million, or 12.6%, as compared to the same
period in 2022. These revenue declines were partially offset by
Digital Advertising net revenue which increased $2.0 million, or
5.5%, and Other net revenue which increased $0.5 million, or 42.4%,
as compared to the same period in 2022. Excluding political revenue
of $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, net revenue decreased
$4.6 million, or 3.8%, to $114.5 million, Digital Advertising net
revenue increased $2.1 million, or 5.6%, to $38.9 million, and
Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $4.2 million, or 7.2%,
to $53.6 million.
Net (Loss) IncomeFor the
quarter ended September 30, 2023, we reported a net loss of
$36.5 million, as compared to net income of $2.8 million
in the same period last year, primarily due to a $20.7 million
increase in non-cash impairment charges, a $15.2 million increase
in the provision for income taxes and a $5.5 million decrease in
net revenue, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in direct
operating expenses, due in part to lower compensation. Adjusted Net
Income was approximately flat as compared to the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA
for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased
$3.7 million, or 12.1%, to $27.2 million, as compared to $30.9
million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding
Political) decreased $2.9 million, or 9.9%, to $26.6 million,
as compared to $29.6 million in the same period last year.
Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2023 Compared to the
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022
Net RevenueNet revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased $3.4 million, or
1.0%, to $339.4 million as compared to $342.8 million in the same
period in 2022. Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased $10.7
million, or 6.5%, and Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions net
revenue decreased $4.9 million, or 7.3%. These declines were
partially offset by Digital Advertising net revenue which increased
$10.5 million, or 10.1%, and Other net revenue which increased $1.8
million, or 26.4%, as compared to the same period in 2022.
Excluding political revenue of $1.2 million and $3.5 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively,
net revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 0.3% to $338.2 million,
Digital Advertising net revenue increased $10.6 million, or 10.3%,
to $113.7 million, and Broadcast Advertising net revenue decreased
$8.6 million, or 5.3%, to $152.7 million.
Net (Loss) IncomeNet income for
the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $51.6 million,
or 493.4%, to a net loss of $41.1 million, as compared to net
income of $10.5 million in the same period last year, primarily
driven by a $45.5 million increase in non-cash impairment
charges, a $4.4 million increase in the provision for income
taxes, a $3.7 million increase in direct operating expenses
and a decrease in net revenue of $3.4 million. Adjusted Net
Income decreased $6.7 million, primarily driven by higher direct
operating expenses and the decrease in net revenue, partially
offset by a lower provision for income taxes.
Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA
for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $10.1
million, or 11.8% to $75.2 million, as compared to $85.3 million in

$503.6 million of outstanding indebtedness, representing 4.86x
and 4.49x gross and net leverage, respectively, based on Adjusted

StatementsExcept for the historical information contained
in this press release, the matters addressed are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements often discuss our
current expectations and projections relating to our financial
condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future
performance and business. You can identify forward-looking
statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. These statements may include words
such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,”
“outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “projection,” “plan,” “intend,”
“seek,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “should,”

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,

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

other risks discussed from time to time in our filings with the
SEC. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or
control. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our
past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication
of future performance. The cautionary statements referred to in
this section also should be considered in connection with any
subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be
issued by us or persons acting on our behalf. The forward-looking
statements included in this report are made only as of the date

obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and
DefinitionsIn this press release, we refer to Adjusted
Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding
Political), Adjusted Net (Loss) 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 Operating Income as operating
income before the deduction of depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation, corporate expenses, transaction costs,
business realignment costs, impairments and net (gain) loss on sale
and retirement of assets. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income
before the deduction of income taxes, interest expense, net, gain
on repurchases of debt, transaction and business realignment costs,
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation,
impairments, net loss (gain) 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, change in fair value of investment, net (gain) loss on
sale and retirement of assets, gain on repurchases of debt, gain on
sale of digital assets, gain on insurance recoveries and net income
attributable to non-controlling interest, net of income taxes.
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, 2023, divided by our Adjusted
EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023. 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
non-recurring items. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not
be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other
companies.
We use Adjusted Operating Income to evaluate the
operating performance of our business segments. 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 transaction costs,
net (gain) loss on sale and retirement of assets, business
realignment costs and certain impairments. Further, while
discretionary bonuses for members of management are not determined
with reference to specific targets, our board of directors may
consider Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA (Excluding Political), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net
Income Per Share, and Net Leverage when determining discretionary
bonuses.
