    Entravision Announces New Employment Inducement Grants under NYSE Listing Rule 303A.08

    SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    Entravision (NYSE: EVC) (“Entravision” or the “Company”), a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company, today announced that the Board of Directors of Entravision granted restricted stock unit awards covering an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “RSU Award”) and performance unit awards covering 1,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “PSU Award” and together, the “Awards”) to Michael Christenson effective as of July 1, 2023, the date that he joins Entravision as its Chief Executive Officer.

    The Awards were granted under the recently adopted Entravision Communications Corporation 2023 Inducement Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) as an inducement material to Mr. Christenson entering into employment with Entravision in accordance with New York Stock Exchange Listing Rule 303A.08. The Inducement Plan may be used exclusively for the grant of equity awards to individuals who were not previously employees of Entravision, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to such individuals’ entering into employment with Entravision, pursuant to New York Stock Exchange Listing Rule 303A.08.

    The RSU Award will vest over five years, with 20% of the RSUs vesting on July 1, 2024, and the remaining 80% of the RSUs vesting in eight equal semi-annual installments thereafter. The foregoing vesting is subject to Mr. Christenson’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date, except that vesting is fully accelerated in the event of Mr. Christenson’s death or disability or his termination of service within three months prior to or two years after a change of control by either the Company without cause or by Mr. Christenson for good reason.

    The PSUs will vest by a combination of both market-based vesting conditions based on total shareholder return hurdles and time-based vesting, both of which must be satisfied before the PSUs will be deemed vested, subject to his continuous service through the applicable vesting dates. The market-based vesting conditions will be satisfied in five equal tranches, in each case if the Company’s average closing price over 30 consecutive trading days prior to July 1, 2028 equals or exceeds the specified hurdle price for such tranche. For each tranche, the time-based vesting conditions will be satisfied over five years, with 20% of each tranche satisfying the time-based vesting conditions on July 1, 2024, and the remaining 80% of such tranche satisfying the time-based vesting conditions in eight equal semi-annual installments thereafter. The foregoing vesting is also subject to Mr. Christenson’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date, except that time-based vesting conditions are fully accelerated in the event of Mr. Christenson’s death or disability or his termination of service within three months prior to or two years after a change of control by either the Company without cause or by Mr. Christenson for good reason. In addition, in the event of a change of control of the Company, the PSUs will convert into a time-based award with market-based conditions deemed to be achieved if the sale price equals or exceeds the applicable hurdle prices.

    SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC), a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

    First Quarter 2023 Highlights

    “Entravision saw continued growth in the first quarter of 2023, with revenue up 21% year-over-year,” said Chris Young, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “Growth for the quarter was led by our digital segment, which is impressive given difficult macro conditions and decreased political advertising revenue from last year.”

    Mr. Young continued, “With a solid balance sheet in place, strong free cash flow generation, and an acute focus on expense management, Entravision is well-equipped to navigate the current economic environment. As we progress through additional quarters, we will continue to seek out opportunities, including acquisitions, that will enhance our digital offerings and strengthen our ability to compete internationally.”

    Quarterly Cash Dividend

    The Company announced today that its 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 $4.4 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on June 30, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 16, 2023, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on June 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.

    $275 Million Credit Facility

    On March 17, 2023, the Company entered into the 2023 Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the “2023 Credit Facility”), which consists of a $200 million senior secured Term A Facility, which was drawn in full, and a $75 million Revolving Credit Facility, of which $11.5 million was drawn. In addition, the 2023 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) provides that the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Credit Facility by an additional amount equal to $100 million plus the amount that would result in the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio (as such term is used in the 2023 Credit Agreement) not exceeding 2.25 to 1.0, subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions.

    Net revenue in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $239.0 million, up 21% from $197.2 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, $42.8 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business, and due to our VIEs, which did not contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million attributable to our television segment, primarily due to decreases in political advertising revenue and national advertising revenue, partially offset by increases in local advertising revenue, spectrum usage rights revenue and retransmission consent revenue. In addition, the overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million attributable to our audio segment, primarily due to a decrease in political advertising revenue, and decreases in local and national advertising revenue.

    Cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $167.8 million, up 29% from $129.9 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 VIEs, which did not contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period.

    Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $52.6 million, up 20% from $43.9 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, $6.3 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to our VIEs, which did not contribute to our financial results in our digital segment in the comparable period, an increase in salary expense, an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, and an increase in expenses associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue. Additionally, of the overall increase in operating expenses, $0.9 million was attributable to our television segment primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, increased rent expense in the temporary office space until the move to our new permanent offices is completed, and an increase in bad debt expense. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, $1.6 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to increases in salaries and music license fees, and increased rent expense in the temporary office space until the move to our new permanent offices is completed. The increases in non-cash stock-based compensation are mainly a result of the 2023 annual restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant, which was made in February 2023 compared to the 2022 annual grant, which was made in December 2022.

    Corporate expenses in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $10.5 million, up 20% from $8.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation, which is mainly a result of the 2023 annual RSU grant, which was made in February 2023 compared to the 2022 annual grant, which was made in December 2022, an increase in professional service fees, and an increase in audit fees.

    Balance Sheet and Related Metrics

    Cash and marketable securities as of March 31, 2023 totaled $179.8 million. Total debt under the Company’s credit agreement was $211.5 million. Net of $50 million of cash and marketable securities, total leverage as defined in the Company’s credit agreement was 1.7 times as of March 31, 2023. Net of total cash and marketable securities, total leverage was 0.3 times.

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.

    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 operating gain (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 the Federal Communications Commission, or 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. 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.

    Cost of revenue, operating expenses and corporate expenses are defined on page 2.

    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.

    Entravision (NYSE: EVC), a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company, today announced that Walter F. Ulloa, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, passed away of a sudden heart attack on December 31, 2022. He was 74 years old.

    Entravision’s Board of Directors issued the following statement:

    “We are profoundly saddened by the sudden passing of Walter Ulloa and extend our heartfelt condolences to Walter’s wife, son and entire family. Since founding Entravision more than 25 years ago, Walter has been an exceptional leader who transformed the company from a traditional multi-linear Spanish-language company that currently owns and operates approximately 100 domestic television and radio stations, to a global digital media powerhouse with a footprint that today reaches across more than 40 countries. Well-known and respected throughout the media industry, Walter’s passion, energy, and devotion to our company will be greatly missed. We have lost a leader and a friend.

    Thanks to Walter’s dynamic leadership, Entravision has assembled an experienced management team that will continue to drive the company’s long-term growth strategy as we serve our customers, our partners, and our shareholders.”

    The Board also announced today that it has appointed Chris Young, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Young has over two decades of experience in banking and corporate finance across the media, advertising and technology industries and has served as Treasurer and CFO of Entravision since 2008.

    The Board of Directors will continue to meet to discuss matters related to the orderly transition and is currently conducting a search for a full-time replacement for the role of Chief Executive Officer.

    Mr. Ulloa was a visionary in Spanish language broadcasting with nearly five decades of experience in television, radio and digital media. He co-founded Entravision in 1996, becoming the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, roles he held until his passing.
