    (1)      Cost of revenue – digital media consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party publishers. Media cost is classified as cost of revenue in the period in which the corresponding revenue is recognized. Cost of revenue – television (spectrum usage rights) consists primarily of the carrying value of spectrum usage rights surrendered in the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum.

    (2)      Operating expenses include direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.3 million and $0.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, foreign currency (gain) loss, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and other income (loss).

    (3)      Corporate expenses include $0.8 million and $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2.3 million and $1.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

    (4)      Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, 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 and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our 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 and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, 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 and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.

    (5)      Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, and capital expenditures plus non-cash cost of revenue – spectrum usage rights. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

    Commenting on the Company’s earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the third quarter, we achieved revenue growth driven by increases in our digital media segment attributable to the acquisition of Headway.  This growth in our digital media segment offset decreases in our television and radio segments, which were affected by decreases in local and national advertising revenue and the loss of political advertising revenue compared to 2016.  We also improved our free cash flow and net income over the third quarter of 2016, due primarily to our receipt of proceeds related to our participation in the Federal Communications Commission auction for broadcast spectrum.  We continued to build our digital footprint and, looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in further attracting Latino audiences, expanding our advertiser base to the benefit of our shareholders.”

    Quarterly Cash Dividend

    The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share of the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.5 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on December 29, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 14, 2017, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on December 13, 2017. As previously announced, 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.

    Acquisition of NBC Affiliate KMIR-TV and MyNetworkTV Affiliate KPSE-LD Serving Palm Springs, California

    On November 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of television stations KMIR-TV, the local NBC affiliate, and KPSE-LD, the local MyNetworkTV affiliate, both of which serve the Palm Springs, California area, for an aggregate $21 million. 

    New Univision Agreements

    On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into an affiliation agreement which supersedes and replaces the Company’s prior affiliation agreements with Univision.  Additionally, on the same date, the Company entered into a new proxy agreement and new marketing and sales agreements with Univision, each of which supersedes and replaces the Company’s prior such agreements with Univision.  The term of each of these new agreements expires on December 31, 2026 for all of the Company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations, except that each new agreement will expire on December 31, 2021 with respect to the Company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations in Orlando, Florida; Tampa, Florida; and Washington, D.C.

    Net revenue from advertising increased to $70.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $65.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $5.3 million. Of the overall increase, $11.4 million was attributable to our digital media segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of 100% of the stock of several entities collectively doing business as Headway (“Headway”) during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to net revenue in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our radio segment of $2.3 million due primarily to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017. Additionally, the overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our television segment of $3.8 million due primarily to a decrease in local and national revenue and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017, partially offset by an increase in retransmission consent revenue.

    Net revenue from spectrum usage rights was $263.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. We did not have revenue from spectrum usage rights in 2016.

    Cost of revenue related to revenue from spectrum usage rights was $12.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. We did not have revenue from spectrum usage rights in 2016.

    Cost of revenue in our digital media segment increased to $9.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $2.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $7.6 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to cost of revenue in prior periods.

    Operating expenses increased to $43.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $40.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.8 million. Of the overall increase, $4.3 million was attributable to our digital media segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to operating expenses in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue and a decrease in rent expense.

     Corporate expenses increased to $8.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $5.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.5 million. The increase was primarily due to increases in expenses associated with the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum, salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    Net revenue from advertising increased to $198.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $188.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $10.4 million. Of the overall increase, $20.3 million was attributable to our digital media segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to net revenue in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our radio segment of $5.8 million due primarily to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017. Additionally, the overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our television segment of $4.1 million due primarily to a decrease in local revenue and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017, partially offset by an increase in national advertising revenue and an increase in retransmission consent revenue.

    Net revenue from spectrum usage rights was $263.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. We did not have revenue from spectrum usage rights in 2016.

    Cost of revenue related to revenue from spectrum usage rights was $12.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. We did not have revenue from spectrum usage rights in 2016.

Of the overall increase, $7.2 million was attributable to our digital media segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to operating expenses in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by decreases in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue, rent expense, ratings service expense and event expense.

    Corporate expenses increased to $19.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 from $16.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $3.1 million. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum, legal and financial due diligence costs related to the Headway acquisition and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    (1)      Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party publishers. 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 $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and $0.5 million and $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, foreign currency (gain) loss, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and other income (loss).

    (3)      Corporate expenses include $0.8 million and $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

    (4)      Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, 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 and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our 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 and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, 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 and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.

    (5)      Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

    Commenting on the Company’s earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the second quarter, we achieved revenue growth driven by increases in our digital media segment attributable to the acquisition of Headway.  This growth in our digital media segment offset decreases in our radio segment and television segment, which were affected by the loss of political advertising revenue compared to 2016.  We continued to build our digital footprint and, looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in further attracting Latino audiences, expanding our advertiser base and monetizing our reach to the benefit of our shareholders.”

    Quarterly Cash Dividend

    The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share of the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.5 million, which represents an increase from the prior quarter’s dividend, which was $0.03125 per share. The quarterly dividend will be payable on September 29, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 14, 2017, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on September 13, 2017. As previously announced, 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.

    Share Repurchase Program

    On July 13, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $15 million of the Company’s common stock.  Under the new share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors.  On the same date, the Board terminated the Company’s previous share repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company’s common stock.

    Receives Proceeds from FCC Auction for Broadcast Spectrum

    On July 21, 2017, the Company received proceeds of $263.6 million related to its participation in the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) auction for broadcast spectrum. The proceeds reflect the FCC’s acceptance of one or more bids placed by the Company during the auction to modify and/or relinquish spectrum usage rights for certain of the Company’s television stations. The Company does not expect that the modification and/or relinquishment of the spectrum usage rights will result in material changes in the operations or results of the Company. The proceeds of the auction were deposited into the account of a “qualified intermediary” to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 requirements to execute a like-kind exchange.

    Acquisition of NBC Affiliate KMIR-TV and MyNetworkTV Affiliate KPSE-LD Serving Palm Springs, California

    On July 20, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with OTA Broadcasting (PSP), LLC to acquire television stations KMIR-TV, the local NBC affiliate, and KPSE-LD, the local MyNetworkTV affiliate, serving the Palm Springs, California area, for an aggregate of $21 million.  The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, including the prior consent of the FCC, is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

    Amendment of Bank Credit Facility

    The Company has entered into an amendment to its bank credit facility.  The amendment increases the amount of certain restricted payments that the Company can make under the terms of the credit facility.  Additional details regarding the amendment are provided in the company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 2, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Net revenue increased to $70.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $64.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $5.7 million. Of the overall increase, $9.5 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to net revenue in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our radio segment of $2.4 million due primarily to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017, and a decrease in our television segment of $1.4 million due primarily to a decrease in local revenue and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017.

    Cost of revenue, which we incur in our digital segment, increased to $8.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $2.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $6.4 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to cost of revenue in prior periods.

    Operating expenses increased to $41.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $39.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $2.0 million. Of the overall increase, $2.2 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to operating expenses in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue, a decrease in expense for ratings services, a decrease in event expense and a decrease in bad debt expense.

    Corporate expenses increased to $5.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $5.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $0.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    (1)      Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party publishers. 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 $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and $0.5 million and $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, foreign currency (gain) loss, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and other income (loss).

    (3)      Corporate expenses include $0.8 million and $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.5 million and $1.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

    (4)      Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, 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 and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our 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 and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, 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 and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.

    (5)      Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

    Commenting on the Company’s earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the second quarter, we achieved revenue growth driven by increases in our digital media segment attributable to the acquisition of Headway.  This growth in our digital media segment offset decreases in our radio segment and television segment, which were affected by the loss of political advertising revenue compared to 2016.  We continued to build our digital footprint and, looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in further attracting Latino audiences, expanding our advertiser base and monetizing our reach to the benefit of our shareholders.”

    Quarterly Cash Dividend

    The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.05 per share of the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.5 million, which represents an increase from the prior quarter’s dividend, which was $0.03125 per share. The quarterly dividend will be payable on September 29, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 14, 2017, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on September 12, 2017. As previously announced, 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.

    Share Repurchase Program

    On July 13, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $15 million of the Company’s common stock.  Under the new share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors.  On the same date, the Board terminated the Company’s previous share repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company’s common stock.

    Receives Proceeds from FCC Auction for Broadcast Spectrum

    On July 21, 2017, the Company received proceeds of $263.6 million related to its participation in the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) auction for broadcast spectrum. The proceeds reflect the FCC’s acceptance of one or more bids placed by the Company during the auction to modify and/or relinquish spectrum usage rights for certain of the Company’s television stations. The Company does not expect that the modification and/or relinquishment of the spectrum usage rights will result in material changes in the operations or results of the Company. The proceeds of the auction were deposited into the account of a “qualified intermediary” to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 requirements to execute a like-kind exchange.

    Acquisition of NBC Affiliate KMIR-TV and MyNetworkTV Affiliate KPSE-LD Serving Palm Springs, California

    On July 20, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with OTA Broadcasting (PSP), LLC to acquire television stations KMIR-TV, the local NBC affiliate, and KPSE-LD, the local MyNetworkTV affiliate, serving the Palm Springs, California area, for an aggregate of $21 million.  The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, including the prior consent of the FCC, is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

    Amendment of Bank Credit Facility

    The Company has entered into an amendment to its bank credit facility.  The amendment increases the amount of certain restricted payments that the Company can make under the terms of the credit facility.  Additional details regarding the amendment are provided in the company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 2, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Net revenue increased to $70.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $64.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $5.7 million. Of the overall increase, $9.5 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to net revenue in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in our radio segment of $2.4 million due primarily to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017, and a decrease in our television segment of $1.4 million due primarily to a decrease in local revenue and a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017.

    Cost of revenue, which we incur in our digital segment, increased to $8.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $2.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $6.4 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to cost of revenue in prior periods.

    Operating expenses increased to $41.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $39.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $2.0 million. Of the overall increase, $2.2 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of Headway during the second quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to operating expenses in prior periods. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue, a decrease in expense for ratings services, a decrease in event expense and a decrease in bad debt expense.

    Corporate expenses increased to $5.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 from $5.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $0.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    (1)      Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party publishers. Media cost is classified as cost of revenue in the period in which the corresponding revenue is recognized.

    (2)      Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.2 million and $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and other income (loss).

    (3)      Corporate expenses include $0.8 million and $0.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

    (4)      Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, 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 and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our 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 and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, 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 and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.

    (5)      Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

    Commenting on the Company’s earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our first quarter results were impacted by the absence of political advertising revenue in the first quarter compared to the prior year.  We grew our television advertising revenue, but this increase was offset by decreases in our radio and digital segments.  We also improved our free cash flow and net income over last year’s fourth quarter.  Additionally, we continued to build our digital footprint through our announced acquisition of Headway, a leading provider of mobile, programmatic, data and performance digital marketing solutions primarily in the United States, Mexico and other parts of Latin America.  Looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in further attracting Latino audiences, expanding our advertiser base and monetizing our reach to the benefit of our shareholders.”

    Quarterly Cash Dividend
    The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.03125 per share of the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.8 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on June 30, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2017, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on June 13, 2017. As previously announced, 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.

    FCC Auction for Broadcast Spectrum
    On April 13, 2017, the Federal Communication Commission finalized the “incentive auction” for broadcast spectrum, which resulted in anticipated proceeds of approximately $264 million for the Company. The anticipated proceeds reflect the FCC’s acceptance of one or more bids placed by the Company during the auction to modify and/or relinquish spectrum usage rights for certain of the Company’s television stations. The Company does not expect that the modification and/or relinquishment of the spectrum usage rights will result in material changes in the operations or results of the Company. The proceeds of the incentive auction are expected to be received in the second half of 2017.

    WJAL-TV to Relocate from Hagerstown, Maryland to Washington, D.C.
    On April 20, 2017, the Company exercised its rights under an agreement pursuant to which a full-power station in Washington, D.C. will permit the Company’s television station WJAL-TV to broadcast on a portion of such station’s broadcast channel, on a jointly shared and licensed basis, and relocate its broadcast location from Hagerstown, Maryland to Washington, D.C., subject to Federal Communications Commission approval, in exchange for payment from the Company of $32.5 million.

    Acquisition of Headway
    On April 4, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the business of Headway, a provider of digital marketing solutions primarily in the United States, Mexico and other parts of Latin America. The transaction was funded from the Company’s cash on hand.

    Net revenue decreased to $57.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 from $58.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $0.6 million. Of the overall decrease, approximately $1.2 million was attributable to our radio segment and was primarily due to a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017, and decreases in local and national advertising revenue. Additionally we had a decrease of $0.6 million in the digital segment primarily attributable to a decrease in national revenue. The overall decrease was partially offset by an increase in the television segment of approximately $1.1 million. The increase was primarily due to increases in national and local advertising revenue and an increase in retransmission consent revenue, partially offset by a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017.

    Cost of revenue was $1.8 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

    Operating expenses decreased to $38.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 from $39.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $0.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional services, non-cash stock based compensation, bad debt expense and a decrease in expense for ratings services, partially offset by an increase in salary expense.

    Corporate expenses increased to $5.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 from $5.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $0.3 million. The increase was primarily due to legal and financial due diligence costs related to a pending acquisition and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party publishers. Media cost is classified as cost of revenue in the period in which the corresponding revenue is recognized.

    (2)

    Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.6 million and $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $1.3 million and $1.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment and other income (loss).

    (3)

    Corporate expenses include $1.8 million and $1.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $3.7 million and $3.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

    (4)

    Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, 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 and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our 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 and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, 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 and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions.

    (5)

    Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

    Commenting on the Company’s earnings results, Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the fourth quarter, we achieved revenue growth driven by increases in our television, radio and digital media segments. We also improved our free cash flow and net income over the fourth quarter of 2015.  Additionally, we continued to grow our digital segment revenue and build our digital footprint through Pulpo Media, which provides us with an integrated platform to connect advertisers and marketers with Latino audiences. Looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in further attracting Latino audiences, expanding our advertiser base and monetizing our reach to the benefit of our shareholders.”

    FCC Auction for Broadcast Spectrum

    The Federal Communication Commission recently completed the reverse auction for broadcast spectrum which resulted in anticipated proceeds of approximately $264 million for the Company. The anticipated proceeds reflect the FCC’s acceptance of one or more bids placed by the Company during the auction to modify and/or relinquish spectrum usage rights for certain of its television stations.  We do not expect that the modification and/or relinquishment of the spectrum usage rights will result in material changes in the operations or results of the Company.  The Company expects to receive the proceeds in the second half of 2017.

    Quarterly Cash Dividend and Prepayment of Outstanding Debt

    The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.03125 per share of the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.8 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on March 31, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 14, 2017, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on March 10, 2017. As previously announced, 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.

    During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company voluntarily prepaid $20.0 million of term loans under its senior secured term loan credit facility.

    Definitive Agreement to Acquire the Digital Performance Marketing Provider Headway

    The Company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the business of Headway, a leading provider of mobile, programmatic, data and performance digital marketing solutions focused primarily in the United States, Mexico and Latin America.  The transaction, which will be funded from the Company’s cash on hand, is expected to close early in the second quarter.

    Net revenue increased to $70.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $65.4 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $4.9 million. Of the overall increase, approximately $3.6 million was attributed to our television segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2015, partially offset by decreases in local and national advertising revenue. Additionally we had an increase of $0.9 million in the radio segment primarily attributable to an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2015, and an increase in national advertising revenue partially offset by a decrease in local advertising revenue.  The remaining $0.4 million was attributed to our digital segment and was primarily attributable to increases in local and national revenue.

    Cost of revenue increased to $3.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $2.6 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $0.4 million, due to increased online media costs associated with generating increased net revenue in our digital segment.

    Operating expenses increased to $41.1 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $39.6 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to expenses associated with generating increased advertising revenue and increases in salary expense, insurance expense and promotional expense. 

    Corporate expenses increased to $7.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $6.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to legal and financial due diligence costs related to the pending acquisition of Headway and increases in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    Operating expenses and corporate expenses are defined on page 1.

    Net revenue increased to $258.5 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $254.1 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $4.4 million. Of the overall increase, $4.3 million was attributed to our digital media segment and was primarily attributable to increases in local and national advertising revenue. Additionally, approximately $0.4 million of the overall increase was attributed to our television segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in political revenue, which was not material in 2015, and an increase in national advertising revenue. This increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $10.5 million of revenue associated with television station channel modifications made by the Company in order to accommodate the operations of a telecommunications operator in 2015, which did not recur in 2016. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million that was attributed to our radio segment, primarily attributable to a decrease in local advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2015

    Cost of revenue increased to $9.5 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $7.2 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $2.3 million, due to increased online media costs associated with generating increased net revenue in our digital media segment.

    Operating expenses increased to $160.2 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $153.1 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $7.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to expenses associated with generating increased advertising revenue and increases in salary expense and insurance expense. 

    Corporate expenses increased to $24.5 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 from $22.5 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $2.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to legal and financial due diligence costs related to the pending acquisition of Headway and increases in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
