    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 $0.2 million and $0.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.8 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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, other income (loss) and change in fair value of contingent consideration. 

    (3)

    Corporate expenses include $1.1 million and $0.8 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $3.3 million and $2.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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), non-recurring cash expenses, 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. 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), non-recurring cash expenses, 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 revenue from FCC spectrum incentive auction less related cash expenses. 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 growth in advertising revenue, driven by increases in our digital media segment. This growth in our digital media segment offset decreases in our television and radio segments. Additionally, we had a decrease in spectrum usage rights revenue compared to last year’s third quarter, when we recorded our FCC auction results. We continue to maintain a solid balance sheet, and looking ahead, we remain well positioned to build on our success in further attracting Latino and other audiences worldwide, as we execute our multi-platform strategy 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 31, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 14, 2018, and the common stock will trade ex-dividend on December 13, 2018. 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.

    Net revenue from advertising and retransmission consent increased to $73.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $70.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $2.8 million. Of the overall increase, approximately $5.3 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to the growth in the Headway business, which we acquired in the second quarter of 2017. This overall increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $1.3 million that was attributable to our television segment and was primarily due to decreases in national and local advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017. In addition, the overall increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $1.1 million that was attributable to our radio segment and was primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in revenue from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017.

    Net revenue from spectrum usage rights decreased to $1.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $263.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $262.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to revenue earned in 2017 in connection with our participation in the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum, which revenue did not recur in the current year.

    We did not incur cost of revenue related to revenue from spectrum usage rights for the three- month period ended September 30, 2018. Cost of revenue related to revenue from spectrum usage rights was $12.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, related to the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum.

    Cost of revenue in our digital media segment increased to $13.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $9.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $3.3 million, primarily due to the increased revenue in our digital segment.

    Operating expenses increased to $44.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $43.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $1.1 million. This overall increase was primarily attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to the increase in revenue and an increase in salary expense. Additionally, the overall increase was attributable to our television segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of station KMIR-TV in the fourth quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to operating expenses in the prior year period. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue and a decrease in salary expenses in our television and radio segments.

    Corporate expenses decreased to $6.9 million for the three-month period September 30, 2018 from $8.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to expenses associated with the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum recorded in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, which expenses did not recur in 2018, partially offset by increases in salary expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    Net revenue from advertising and retransmission consent increased to $213.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $198.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $15.3 million. Of the overall increase, approximately $24.4 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to the growth in the Headway business, which we acquired in the second quarter of 2017, and which did not contribute to our results of operations for the full nine-month period in 2017. This overall increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $6.4 million that was attributable to our television segment and was primarily due to decreases in national and local advertising revenue, partially offset by increases in retransmission consent revenue and political advertising revenue, the latter of which was not material in 2017. In addition, the overall increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $2.7 million that was attributable to our radio segment and was primarily due to decreases in local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in revenue from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2017.

    Net revenue from spectrum usage rights decreased to $1.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $263.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $262.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to revenue earned in 2017 in connection with our participation in the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum, which revenue did not recur in the current year.

    We did not incur cost of revenue related to revenue from spectrum usage rights for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2018. Cost of revenue related to revenue from spectrum usage rights was $12.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, related to the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum.

    Cost of revenue in our digital media segment increased to $35.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $20.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $14.8 million, primarily due to the growth in the Headway business, which we acquired in the second quarter of 2017, and which did not contribute to our results of operations for the full nine-month period in 2017.

    Operating expenses increased to $132.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $123.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $8.9 million. This overall increase was primarily 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 for the full nine-month period in 2017. Additionally, the overall increase was attributable to our television segment and was primarily due to the acquisition of station KMIR-TV in the fourth quarter of 2017, which did not contribute to operating expenses in the prior year period. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue and a decrease in salary expenses in our television and radio segments.

    Corporate expenses decreased to $19.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 from $19.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to expenses associated with the FCC auction for broadcast spectrum recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, which expenses did not recur in 2018, and due to due diligence costs related to the Headway acquisition during the second quarter of 2017, partially offset by increases in salary expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and due diligence costs related to the acquisition of Smadex, S.I. in the second quarter of 2018.

    Mario M. Carrera to Step down as Chief Revenue Officer of Entravision Communications Corporation

    SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC), a diversified global media and advertising technology company serving Latino consumers, today announced that Mario M. Carrera has decided to step down as Chief Revenue Officer.  Entravision has commenced a search for a successor and Mr. Carrera will remain in his position until a replacement is named. 

    “For the past 15 years, Mario has been a valuable member of the Entravision team and a tremendous resource as we executed on our strategic initiatives,” said Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entravision.  “On behalf of everyone at Entravision I want to personally thank him for his service and dedication to our company, our employees and the Latino community.  We hold Mario in the highest regard and wish him all the best as he embarks on the next chapter of his life.”

    “I am proud to have been part of Entravision, an outstanding organization that continues to play a critical role in the development of the Hispanic media industry, and more importantly in our local communities,” said Carrera.  “This was truly a difficult decision, but one made with the input and support of my family.  I want to express my appreciation to Walter for his leadership, friendship, and belief in my abilities, and it has been my pleasure to serve with an exceptional team of colleagues and dedicated professionals.”

    Mr. Carrera joined Entravision in 2003 and served as the Vice President and General Manager leading Entravision’s radio, television and interactive assets in Colorado.  Under his tenure in Colorado, Entravision’s Noticias Univision Colorado won 14 Emmys, in addition to KCEC-TV winning the Best 2010 Public Service Award Campaign from the Colorado Broadcasters Association.  In 2012, Carrera was elevated into corporate roles, serving first as Entravision’s Senior Vice President of Spanish Language Television, and then as Chief Revenue Officer from August 2012 to present.  Carrera is a graduate of Harvard University.
