    Net revenue in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $221.7 million, up 24% from $178.4 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $44.2 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue growth from our digital commercial partnerships business and our acquisitions of MediaDonuts and 365 Digital during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, both of which did not contribute to net revenue in the comparable period. In addition, of the overall increase, approximately $0.8 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to increases in local advertising revenue and political advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in national advertising revenue. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $1.7 million attributable to our television segment, primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising 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 was partially offset by increases in political advertising revenue and spectrum usage rights revenue.

    Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $145.0 million, up 33% from $109.0 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 our acquisitions of MediaDonuts and 365 Digital during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, both of which did not incur cost of revenue for us in the comparable period.

    Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $47.4 million, up 14% from $41.4 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $5.2 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 our acquisitions of MediaDonuts and 365 Digital during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, both of which did not incur operating expenses for us in the comparable period. In addition, of the overall increase in operating expenses, approximately $0.2 million was attributable to our television segment primarily due to an increase in salaries and bad debt expense, 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 $0.5 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in advertising revenue.

    Corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $8.5 million, up 16% from $7.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increases in non-cash stock-based compensation and salaries.

Through its business unit, Entravision Cisneros Interactive, Entravision will provide support, consulting, training and billing in local currency to help businesses achieve their advertising goals.

    “We are very pleased to expand our alliance with Meta into Honduras and El Salvador, further strengthening our partnership and foothold in Latin America,” said Byron Cabrera, Country Manager of Honduras and El Salvador for Entravision Cisneros Interactive. “This expansion within Latin America will enable us to continue our mission of providing companies with strategic support, creative expertise and content development that facilitates the use of new tools which take full advantage of all that the Meta suite has to offer and are geared toward boosting their business in the region.”

In 2021, we trained more than 5,000 people, including advertisers and agencies, to leverage the Meta platform. This educational investment has allowed us to help advertisers increase their sales, minimize their customer service expenses and reduce their cancellation rates, along with many other core business objectives. It is this experience that provides us with the utmost confidence that we will achieve a similar impact on companies in Honduras and El Salvador by extending the top-notch experience we provide to our other clients in Latin America.”

    “Meta is dedicated to expanding our stronghold in Latin America, and the expansion of our alliance with Entravision Cisneros Interactive in Honduras and El Salvador is a key sign of our commitment to the region,” said Christian Pretelt, Regional Reseller Leader for Meta in Latin America. “We are very excited to extend the reach of this successful program, helping advertisers and agencies create more meaningful connections with their consumers.
