    First Quarter 2022 Highlights

    • All-time first quarter record revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow
    • Net revenue up 32% over the prior-year quarter
    • Net income attributable to common stockholders down 65% over the prior-year quarter
    • Consolidated adjusted EBITDA up 28% over the prior-year quarter

    “Entravision begins 2022 on very solid footing, with net revenue for the first quarter totaling $197.2 million, up 32% year-over year. Adjusted EBITDA also improved to total $18.1 million, an increase of 28% over the prior-year period,” said Walter Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Importantly, even as our top line continues to grow, we have maintained a lean, efficient cost structure, helping to drive our cash flow as well as our ability to provide consistent returns to our shareholders.”

    Mr. Ulloa continued, “Our strength during the first quarter was largely driven by revenue growth of 51% in our digital segment, which comprised 78% of consolidated revenue. Our broadcast businesses, and, in particular, audio, helped drive our strong margins and cash flow. Simultaneously, our strategic expansion of our commercial partnerships with some of the world’s leading technology platforms has positioned us at the forefront of digital innovation across emerging economies, including Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Pakistan when we complete our investment in Jack of Digital. We are excited about the enormous opportunities that lie in front of us and look forward to sharing our progress throughout the year.”

    Quarterly Cash Dividend

    The Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.025 per share on the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class U common stock, in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.1 million. The quarterly dividend will be payable on June 30, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 16, 2022, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on June 15, 2022. 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 March 1, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $20 million of the Company’s common stock. Under this 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 the Company’s common stock. During the first quarter the Company repurchased $7.1 million of its Class A common stock.

    Investment in Jack of Digital

    As previously announced, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a strategic stake in Jack of Digital, a digital marketing services company that serves as the exclusive advertising sales partner of TikTok in Pakistan. Subject to regulatory approvals and other pre-closing conditions, the Company anticipates that the investment will be completed during the second quarter of 2022. With this investment, the Company enhances its presence in South Asia.

    Net revenue in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $197.2 million, up 32% from $148.9 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $52.2 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 ended March 31, 2021. In addition, of the overall increase, approximately $1.3 million was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to increases in local advertising revenue and political advertising revenue. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $5.2 million attributable to our television segment, primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, which was 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, the decrease in our television segment was attributed to a decrease in revenue from spectrum usage rights, and a decrease in retransmission consent revenue, partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue.

    Cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $129.9 million, up 53% from $84.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased costs 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 ended March 31, 2021.

    Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $43.9 million, up 9% from $40.4 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $4.4 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 ended March 31, 2021. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.7 million that was attributable to our television segment primarily due to a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in local and national advertising revenue, and a decrease of approximately $0.3 million that was attributable to our audio segment primarily due to a decrease in rating services expense.

    Corporate expenses in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $8.7 million, up 22% from $7.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increases in non-cash stock-based compensation, salaries, and audit fees.

    Balance Sheet and Related Metrics

    Cash and marketable securities as of March 31, 2022 totaled approximately $211.6 million. Total debt was $211.8 million. Net of $75 million of cash and marketable securities, total leverage as defined in the Company’s credit agreement was 1.5 times as of March 31, 2022. Net of total cash and marketable securities, total leverage was 0.0 times.

    SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    Entravision (NYSE: EVC) (“Entravision” or “the Company”), a leading global advertising, media and ad-tech solutions company, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a strategic stake in Jack of Digital, a digital marketing services company that serves as the exclusive advertising sales partner of TikTok in Pakistan.

    Founded in 2020 by ad tech and marketing industry veteran Faisal Sheikh, Jack of Digital specializes in international platform partnerships with some of the world’s top advertising, marketing and data platforms. With strong local leadership experience in Pakistan, Jack of Digital provides marketing and communication, advertising sales and relationship management services to a growing client base. Jack of Digital maintains exclusive advertising and data sales representations in Pakistan with short-form video platform TikTok, full-stack programmatic platform Eskimi, app entertainment tool SHAREit and ad fraud protection service Spider AF.

    “We are very excited to announce our strategic investment in Jack of Digital, opening the door for Entravision to the South Asian market,” said Juan Saldívar, Chief Digital, Strategy and Accountability Officer of Entravision. “Jack of Digital’s exclusive partnership with TikTok in Pakistan builds upon our recent exclusivity with TikTok in South Africa through our acquisition of 365 Digital this past November. With this investment, Entravision now provides creative digital advertising and marketing services in over 35 countries as we continue to strategically expand our global footprint.”
