We have enhanced our digital segment organically, as well as through strategic partnerships, geographic expansion and accretive acquisitions to bolster our suite of digital services in the large and growing advertising industry. Our complementary non-digital businesses, while a smaller percentage of our revenue portfolio, continue to be an important contributor to our growth. We will continue to leverage our tools, reach, technology and world-class team to meet our clients’ evolving needs and deliver enhanced shareholder value." Paul Zevnik, Interim Chair and co-founder said, “The Entravision team mourns the sudden and tragic loss of our late CEO, founder and dear friend, Walter Ulloa. Walter passed unexpectedly on the last day of the most successful year in the company's history. Since we founded Entravision in 1996, we have developed a clear vision to build a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company serving diverse demographics with diverse media. Through Walter’s leadership and with the support of a strong leadership team and dedicated entrepreneurs across each of Entravision’s business platforms, we have achieved tremendous growth and transformed the Company’s geographical breadth and media portfolio. Most importantly, we created a company that is a great place to work with a focus on engagement, trust, open communications, community service and involvement, and long-lasting relationships with our key partners. I miss our friend dearly, and the Board is committed to working with management to advance Walter’s vision and execute on our roadmap to deliver enhanced value for our stakeholders and partners." Quarterly Cash Dividend As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share on the Company's Class A and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.4 million. This is double the Company's previous quarterly dividend of $0.025 in 2022 and returns the dividend to its pre-pandemic level. The quarterly dividend will be payable on March 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 16, 2023, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on March 15, 2023. The Company currently anticipates that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis; however, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to approval by the Board.

Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $296.3 million, up 27% from $233.9 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $52.6 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business. In addition, the increase in net revenue in our digital segment was due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase, approximately $5.6 million was attributable to our television segment, primarily due to an increase in political advertising revenue, partially offset by decreases in local and national advertising revenue. These decreases were mainly attributed to the expiration of our Univision and UniMás network affiliation agreements in Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. on December 31, 2021. Additionally, of the overall increase, approximately $4.2 million was attributable to our audio segment, primarily due to increases in political advertising revenue and national advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in local advertising revenue. Cost of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $192.0 million, up 29% from $148.4 million in the prior-year period.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $57.2 million, up 19% from $48.1 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $7.0 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue, an increase in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation, and an increase due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $1.1 million was attributable to our television segment primarily due to an increase in rent expense, an increase in bad debt expense and an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in local and national advertising revenue. Additionally, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $1.0 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in national advertising revenue and an increase in rent expense. Corporate expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $22.6 million, up 101% from $11.2 million in the prior-year period.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Highlights Record fourth quarter and annual revenue Record fourth quarter and annual consolidated adjusted EBITDA Record political advertising revenue compared to prior election cycles, including presidential Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.9 million in the prior-year quarter Net income attributable to common stockholders for the full year down 38% compared to the prior-year Consolidated adjusted EBITDA up 11% and 17% compared to the prior-year quarter and full year, respectively Operating cash flow down 93% and up 21% compared to the prior-year quarter and full year, respectively Free cash flow down 37% and 20% compared to the prior-year quarter and full year, respectively Quarterly cash dividend increase to $0.05 per share “We are pleased with our 2022 performance, which marks a record year for Entravision for revenue and consolidated adjusted EBITDA,” said Entravision Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Chris Young. “Our results demonstrate the resiliency and strength of our business through challenging macro conditions, and the successful execution of our strategic plan to create a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company. We have enhanced our digital segment organically, as well as through strategic partnerships, geographic expansion and accretive acquisitions to bolster our suite of digital services in the large and growing advertising industry. Our complementary non-digital businesses, while a smaller percentage of our revenue portfolio, continue to be an important contributor to our growth. We will continue to leverage our tools, reach, technology and world-class team to meet our clients’ evolving needs and deliver enhanced shareholder value." Paul Zevnik, Interim Chair and co-founder said, “The Entravision team mourns the sudden and tragic loss of our late CEO, founder and dear friend, Walter Ulloa. Walter passed unexpectedly on the last day of the most successful year in the company's history. Since we founded Entravision in 1996, we have developed a clear vision to build a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company serving diverse demographics with diverse media. Through Walter’s leadership and with the support of a strong leadership team and dedicated entrepreneurs across each of Entravision’s business platforms, we have achieved tremendous growth and transformed the Company’s geographical breadth and media portfolio. Most importantly, we created a company that is a great place to work with a focus on engagement, trust, open communications, community service and involvement, and long-lasting relationships with our key partners. I miss our friend dearly, and the Board is committed to working with management to advance Walter’s vision and execute on our roadmap to deliver enhanced value for our stakeholders and partners." Quarterly Cash Dividend As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share on the Company's Class A and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.4 million. This is double the Company's previous quarterly dividend of $0.025 in 2022 and returns the dividend to its pre-pandemic level. The quarterly dividend will be payable on March 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 16, 2023, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on March 15, 2023. The Company currently anticipates that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis; however, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to approval by the Board.

Media cost is classified as cost of revenue in the period in which the corresponding revenue is recognized. (2) Operating expenses include direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $2.8 million and $2.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $5.7 million and $3.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (3) Corporate expenses include $9.2 million and $4.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $14.3 million and $6.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in the agreement governing our current credit facility (“the 2017 Credit Facility”) and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses, syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments, revenue from FCC spectrum incentive auction less related expenses, expenses associated with investments, EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling and redeemable noncontrolling interest, acquisitions and dispositions and certain pro-forma cost savings. (5) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, capital expenditures and non-recurring cash expenses plus dividend income, and other operating gain (loss). Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $296.3 million, up 27% from $233.9 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $52.6 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business. In addition, the increase in net revenue in our digital segment was due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase, approximately $5.6 million was attributable to our television segment, primarily due to an increase in political advertising revenue, partially offset by decreases in local and national advertising revenue. These decreases were mainly attributed to the expiration of our Univision and UniMás network affiliation agreements in Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. on December 31, 2021. Additionally, of the overall increase, approximately $4.2 million was attributable to our audio segment, primarily due to increases in political advertising revenue and national advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in local advertising revenue. Cost of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $192.0 million, up 29% from $148.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased cost of revenue related to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $57.2 million, up 19% from $48.1 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $7.0 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue, an increase in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation, and an increase due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $1.1 million was attributable to our television segment primarily due to an increase in rent expense, an increase in bad debt expense and an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in local and national advertising revenue. Additionally, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $1.0 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in national advertising revenue and an increase in rent expense. Corporate expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $22.6 million, up 101% from $11.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to $8.1 million of severance related expense incurred upon the passing of our late Chief Executive Officer, and due to increases in non-cash stock-based compensation and an increase in salaries.

Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $956.2 million, up 26% from $760.2 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $191.8 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business. In addition, the increase in net revenue in our digital segment was due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022 and our acquisitions in 2021, which did not contribute to our results of operations for the full prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase, approximately $6.4 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to increases in political advertising revenue and local advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in national advertising revenue. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $2.1 million attributable to our television segment, primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, a decrease in spectrum usage rights revenue, and a decrease in retransmission consent revenue. These decreases were mainly attributed to the expiration of our Univision and UniMás network affiliation agreements in Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. on December 31, 2021. The decrease in our television segment revenue was partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $623.9 million, up 34% from $466.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased cost of revenue related to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022 and our acquisitions in 2021, which did not contribute to our results of operations for the full prior-year period. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $197.8 million, up 14% from $173.0 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $22.5 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue, an increase in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation, and an increase due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022 and our acquisitions in 2021, which did not contribute to our results of operations for the full prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $0.6 million was attributable to our television segment primarily due to an increase in rent expense, an increase in bad debt expense and an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in local and national advertising revenue. Additionally, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $1.7 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in local advertising revenue and an increase in rent expense. Corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $49.4 million, up 50% from $33.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to $8.1 million of severance related expense incurred upon the passing of our late Chief Executive Officer, and due to increases in non-cash stock-based compensation and an increase in salaries. Balance Sheet and Related Metrics Cash and marketable securities as of December 31, 2022 totaled approximately $155.2 million. Total debt under the Company’s credit agreement was $209.3 million.

Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC), a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company, today announced financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2022. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Highlights Record fourth quarter and annual revenue Record fourth quarter and annual consolidated adjusted EBITDA Record political advertising revenue compared to prior election cycles, including presidential Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.9 million in the prior-year quarter Net income attributable to common stockholders for the full year down 38% compared to the prior-year Consolidated adjusted EBITDA up 11% and 17% compared to the prior-year quarter and full year, respectively Operating cash flow down 93% and up 21% compared to the prior-year quarter and full year, respectively Free cash flow down 37% and 20% compared to the prior-year quarter and full year, respectively Quarterly cash dividend increase to $0.05 per share “We are pleased with our 2022 performance, which marks a record year for Entravision for revenue and consolidated adjusted EBITDA,” said Entravision Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Chris Young. “Our results demonstrate the resiliency and strength of our business through challenging macro conditions, and the successful execution of our strategic plan to create a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company. We have enhanced our digital segment organically, as well as through strategic partnerships, geographic expansion and accretive acquisitions to bolster our suite of digital services in the large and growing advertising industry. Our complementary non-digital businesses, while a smaller percentage of our revenue portfolio, continue to be an important contributor to our growth. We will continue to leverage our tools, reach, technology and world-class team to meet our clients’ evolving needs and deliver enhanced shareholder value." Paul Zevnik, Interim Chair and co-founder said, “The Entravision team mourns the sudden and tragic loss of our late CEO, founder and dear friend, Walter Ulloa. Walter passed unexpectedly on the last day of the most successful year in the company's history. Since we founded Entravision in 1996, we have developed a clear vision to build a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company serving diverse demographics with diverse media. Through Walter’s leadership and with the support of a strong leadership team and dedicated entrepreneurs across each of Entravision’s business platforms, we have achieved tremendous growth and transformed the Company’s geographical breadth and media portfolio. Most importantly, we created a company that is a great place to work with a focus on engagement, trust, open communications, community service and involvement, and long-lasting relationships with our key partners. I miss our friend dearly, and the Board is committed to working with management to advance Walter’s vision and execute on our roadmap to deliver enhanced value for our stakeholders and partners." Quarterly Cash Dividend As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share on the Company's Class A and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.4 million. This is double the Company's previous quarterly dividend of $0.025 in 2022 and returns the dividend to its pre-pandemic level. The quarterly dividend will be payable on March 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 16, 2023, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on March 15, 2023.

We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in the agreement governing our current credit facility (“the 2017 Credit Facility”) and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses, syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments, revenue from FCC spectrum incentive auction less related expenses, expenses associated with investments, EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling and redeemable noncontrolling interest, acquisitions and dispositions and certain pro-forma cost savings. (5) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, capital expenditures and non-recurring cash expenses plus dividend income, and other operating gain (loss). Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $296.3 million, up 27% from $233.9 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $52.6 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business. In addition, the increase in net revenue in our digital segment was due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase, approximately $5.6 million was attributable to our television segment, primarily due to an increase in political advertising revenue, partially offset by decreases in local and national advertising revenue. These decreases were mainly attributed to the expiration of our Univision and UniMás network affiliation agreements in Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. on December 31, 2021. Additionally, of the overall increase, approximately $4.2 million was attributable to our audio segment, primarily due to increases in political advertising revenue and national advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in local advertising revenue. Cost of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $192.0 million, up 29% from $148.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased cost of revenue related to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $57.2 million, up 19% from $48.1 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $7.0 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue, an increase in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation, and an increase due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022, which did not contribute to our results of operations in the comparable prior-year period. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $1.1 million was attributable to our television segment primarily due to an increase in rent expense, an increase in bad debt expense and an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in local and national advertising revenue. Additionally, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $1.0 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in national advertising revenue and an increase in rent expense. Corporate expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $22.6 million, up 101% from $11.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to $8.1 million of severance related expense incurred upon the passing of our late Chief Executive Officer, and due to increases in non-cash stock-based compensation and an increase in salaries.

The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $2.1 million attributable to our television segment, primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, a decrease in spectrum usage rights revenue, and a decrease in retransmission consent revenue. These decreases were mainly attributed to the expiration of our Univision and UniMás network affiliation agreements in Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. on December 31, 2021. The decrease in our television segment revenue was partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $623.9 million, up 34% from $466.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased cost of revenue related to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to our investments in variable interest entities in 2022 and our acquisitions in 2021, which did not contribute to our results of operations for the full prior-year period.
