    Entravision Communications Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

    – Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.025 Per Share –

    SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
    Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC) today reported financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020.

    “Entravision had a strong third quarter compared to the second quarter with revenues improving across all three of our operating segments,” said Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “A key driver of our progress in the third quarter was our television and radio political advertising sales, which outpaced our expectations and have continued strong during the election cycle. We also continued to execute on our cost-cutting measures to ensure that our Company remains well positioned to weather the impacts of COVID-19. Operating expenses declined 21% for the quarter compared to the prior year period.”

    Mr. Ulloa continued, “Subsequent to quarter end, we announced a strategic majority investment in Cisneros Interactive, a digital advertising company serving over 2,000 brands and agencies each month across the United States and Latin America. We believe this investment will further advance our digital service offerings for our global client base, while positioning our combined platforms to become one of the largest premier digital advertising companies serving the U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets. Our balance sheet remains strong, and overall we are pleased with our third quarter results. Our operating segments are making progress in the right direction following the lows experienced in the second quarter, and we are cautiously optimistic about our future prospects.”

    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.

    (2)

    For purposes of presentation in this table, the operating expenses line item includes direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Also for purposes of presentation in this table, the operating expenses line item does not include corporate expenses, foreign currency (gain) loss, depreciation and amortization, impairment charge, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, other income (loss) and change in fair value of contingent consideration.

    (3)

    Corporate expenses include $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and $2.0 million and $2.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 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, 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, 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.

    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 December 31, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2020, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on December 15, 2020. 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 Majority Interest in Cisneros Interactive

    On October 13, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of a company engaged in the sale and marketing of digital advertising that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name Cisneros Interactive. The transaction, funded from the Company’s cash on hand, includes a purchase price of approximately $29 million in cash.

    Net revenue decreased to $63.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $68.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $5.8 million. Of the overall decrease, approximately $3.9 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to declines in international revenue and the continuing economic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline in digital revenue is being driven by a trend whereby revenue is shifting more to programmatic revenue. In addition, approximately $3.3 million of the overall decrease was attributable to our radio segment and was primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue. The decrease in local and national advertising revenue was primarily a result of the continuing economic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, ratings declines and competitive factors with other Spanish-language broadcasters, and changing demographic preferences of audiences. We have previously noted a trend for advertising to move increasingly from traditional media, such as radio, to new media, such as digital media, and we expect this trend to continue. The overall decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately $1.4 million attributable to our television segment and was primarily due to increases in political advertising revenue and retransmission consent revenue, partially offset by decreases in revenue from spectrum usage rights and local and national advertising revenue. The decrease in local and national advertising revenue was primarily a result of the continuing economic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, ratings declines, competitive factors with other Spanish-language broadcasters, and changing demographic preferences of audiences. We have previously noted a trend for advertising to move increasingly from traditional media, such as television, to new media, such as digital media, and we expect this trend to continue.

    Cost of revenue in our digital segment decreased to $7.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $9.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $2.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in revenue in our digital segment.

    Operating expenses decreased to $34.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $43.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $9.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salary expense, as a result of the company-wide reduction in salaries implemented effective April 16, 2020, and expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue.

    Corporate expenses decreased to $6.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $6.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salary expense, as a result of the company-wide reduction in salaries implemented effective April 16, 2020, and audit fees. These decreases were partially offset by expenses for legal and financial due diligence related to the acquisition of Cisneros Interactive.

    Our historical revenues have primarily been denominated in U.S. dollars, and the majority of our current revenues continue to be, and are expected to remain, denominated in U.S. dollars. However, our operating expenses are generally denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, and we have operations in countries other than the United States, primarily those operations related to our Headway business. As a result, we have operating expense, attributable to foreign currency, that is primarily related to the operations related to our Headway business. We had a foreign currency gain of $0.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to a foreign currency loss of $0.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019. Foreign currency gain was primarily due to currency fluctuations that affected our digital segment operations located outside the United States, primarily related to the Headway business.

    Net revenue decreased to $172.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $202.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $30.4 million. Of the overall decrease, approximately $8.8 million was attributable to our television segment due to decreases in revenue from spectrum usage rights and local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by increases in political advertising revenue and retransmission consent revenue. The decrease in local and national advertising revenue was primarily a result of the continuing economic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, ratings declines, competitive factors with other Spanish-language broadcasters, and changing demographic preferences of audiences. We have previously noted a trend for advertising to move increasingly from traditional media, such as television, to new media, such as digital media, and we expect this trend to continue. In addition, approximately $10.5 million of the overall decrease was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to declines in international revenue and the continuing economic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline in digital revenue is being driven by a trend whereby revenue is shifting more to programmatic revenue. In addition, approximately $11.1 million of the overall decrease was attributable to our radio segment and was primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue. The decrease in local and national advertising revenue was primarily a result of the continuing economic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, ratings declines and competitive factors with other Spanish-language broadcasters, and changing demographic preferences of audiences. We have previously noted a trend for advertising to move increasingly from traditional media, such as radio, to new media, such as digital media, and we expect this trend to continue.

    Cost of revenue in our digital segment decreased to $21.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $26.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $4.8 million, primarily due to a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in revenue in our digital segment.

    Operating expenses decreased to $107.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $129.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $21.8 million. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salary expense, as a result of the company-wide reduction in salaries implemented effective April 16, 2020, and expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue.

    Corporate expenses decreased to $18.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 from $20.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $1.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salary expense, as a result of the company-wide reduction in salaries implemented effective April 16, 2020, and audit fees. These decreases were partially offset by expenses for legal and financial due diligence related to the acquisition of Cisneros Interactive.

    Impairment charge related to certain FCC licenses in our television and radio reporting units was $23.5 and $8.8 million, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Impairment charge related to goodwill in our digital reporting unit was $0.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Impairment charges related to intangibles subject to amortization and property and equipment in our digital reporting unit was $5.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

    Our historical revenues have primarily been denominated in U.S. dollars, and the majority of our current revenues continue to be, and are expected to remain, denominated in U.S. dollars. However, our operating expenses are generally denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, and we have operations in countries other than the United States, primarily those operations related to our Headway business. As a result, we have operating expense, attributable to foreign currency, which is primarily related to the operations related to our Headway business. We had a foreign currency loss of $0.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to a foreign currency loss of $1.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Foreign currency loss was primarily due to currency fluctuations that affected our digital segment operations located outside the United States, primarily those related to the Headway business.
