Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
In an enterprise as large and complex as ours, a wide range of factors could affect our business and financial results. The factors described below are considered to be the most significant but are not completely exhaustive or listed in any particular order. There may be other currently unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The following discussion of risk factors described below should be read in conjunctiontogether with “Itemthe 7.other Management’sinformation Discussionset andforth Analysisin ofthis FinancialAnnual ConditionReport, andincluding Results of Operations” and theour consolidated financial statements and the related notesnotes, as well as in “Itemother 8.documents Financialthat Statementswe andfile Supplementarywith Data”the of this Form 10-K.SEC.
On February 11, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s Class D common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class D Common Stock”) had closed below $1.00 ( the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). On January 22, 2026, we effected a 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split of our Class D Common Stock in an effort to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On February 9, 2026, we received notice from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Class D Common Stock will proportionally increase the market price of our Class D Common Stock, it cannot be assured that the Reverse Stock Split will result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price, which depends on many factors, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions and prospects for future success. In addition, because we effected the Reverse Stock Split to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq rules limit our ability to cure a future deficiency in the Minimum Bid Price Requirement with a subsequent reverse stock split.
These rules (i) provide for the immediate delisting with no grace period of any listed company that falls out of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for the second time in a twelve-month period, (ii) provide for immediate delisting if a listed company effects a reverse stock split that causes it to fall out of compliance with certain other listing requirements, and (iii) limit the ratio of reverse stock splits to a cumulative ratio of 1-to-250 in any 2-year period. These Nasdaq rules limit our ability to affect a subsequent reverse stock split, including in the event our common stock fails to comply with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price Requirement in the future.
If we fail to meet the requirements, the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or any other Nasdaq listing requirement, we may become subject to delisting proceedings from Nasdaq. If our common stock were to be delisted, the liquidity of our common stock would be adversely affected, the market price of our common stock could decrease, institutional and other investor demand for the shares may decrease, securities analysts may not cover the Company, there may be less market making activity and information available concerning trading prices and volume, and fewer broker dealers may be willing to execute trades in our common stock. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if our common stock is not listed on a major exchange. In addition, delayed financial reports could expose us to the risk of litigation concerning any impact upon the price of our common stock. Any such litigation could distract management from day-to-day operations and further adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Internal Controls and Financial Statements
As discussed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of this Form 10-K and previous filings, management has concluded that certain internal controls over our financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 20242025 due to certain previously identified material weaknesses.
The control deficiencies resulting in the material weaknesses, in the aggregate, if not effectively remediated could also result in misstatements of accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that wouldmay not be prevented or detected. In addition, we cannot be certain that we will not identify additional control deficiencies or material weaknesses in the future. If we identify future control deficiencies or material weaknesses, these may lead to adverse effects on our business, our reputation, our results of operations, and the market price of our common stock.
AsIn notedthe above,past, we reachedhave a determination to reviserevised certain financial information and related footnote disclosures in certain of our previously issued consolidated financial statements. As a result, we have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, which may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures and may raise reputational issues for our business. We cannot assure you that all of these risks have been or will be eliminated or that general reputational harm will not persist. If one or more of the foregoing risks or challenges persist, our business, operations and financial condition are likely to be materially and adversely affected.
The delayed filings of our 2022 and 2023 annual reports and our first quarter 2024 quarterly report have made us currently ineligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the offer and sale of securities, which could adversely affect our ability to raise future capital or complete acquisitions.
As a result of the delayed filings of our 2022 and 2023 annual reports and our first quarter 2024 quarterly report with the SEC, we are not eligible to register the offer and sale of our securities using a short form registration statement on Form S-3 until one year from the date we regain and maintain status as a current filer. Should we wish to register the offer and sale of our securities prior to the time we are eligible to use a short form registration statement, both our transaction costs and the amount of time required to complete the transaction could increase, making it more difficult to timely execute any such transaction successfully and potentially harming our financial condition.
Volatility in the U.S. and global economies, macroeconomic events, market disruptions, changes in the U.S. or international political environment, and other events outside of our control, have had, and may in the future have, an unpredictable impact on our business and financial condition.
The state and condition of the global financial markets and fluctuations in the global and U.S. economies may have an unpredictable impact on our business and financial condition.
From time to time, including as a result of tariffs and other trade barriers, inflation, changes in interest rates, recession or public health crisis, threatened or actual acts of war, and other geopolitical and economic events the global equity and credit markets experience high levels of volatility and disruption. At various points in time, the markets have produced upward and/or downward pressure on stock prices and limited credit capacity or finance or refinance opportunities for certain companies without regard to those companies’ underlying financial strength. In addition, advertising is a discretionary and variable business expense which may be reduced as companies contend with lower revenues or higher expenses, including higher costs of capital and as government spending priorities change. Spending on advertising tends to decline disproportionately during an economic recession or downturn as compared to other types of business spending. Consequently, a downturn in the United States economy generally has an adverse effect on our advertising revenue and, therefore, our results of operations. A recession or downturn in the economy of any individual geographic market, particularly a major market in which we operate, also may have a significant effect on us. Radio revenues in the markets in which we operate may also face greater challenges than in the U.S. economy generally. Finally, volatility in the markets and our degree of leverage could negatively impact our ability to financeobtain, on favorable terms, in a timely manner, or at all, financing for strategic transactions or could negatively impact upon our plans to refinance our current indebtedness in the future.indebtedness.
Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices we charge our customers. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience, cost increases. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of these increases, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Inflation may also dampen consumer demand, thus, dampening demand for advertising by our customers. This dampened demand could adversely impact our revenues.
In general, demand for certain consumer products may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates and the reduced availability of consumer financing. Also, bankcommercial failures,or consumer loan defaults and/or other trends in the financial industry which influence the requirements used by lenders to evaluate potential consumers can result in reduced availability of financing. If interest rates or lending requirements increase andand, consequently, the ability of prospective consumers to finance purchases of products is adversely affected, the demand for advertising may also be adversely impacted and the impact may be material. In addition, our borrowing costs could be impacted, and such cost changes could reduce the expected returns on certain of our corporate development and other investment opportunities.
The terms of our indebtedness and the indebtedness of our direct and indirect subsidiaries may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in market conditions or to take some actions.
Our debt instruments impose operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions may condition, limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, incur liens, pay dividends, enter into asset purchase or sale transactions, merge or consolidate with another company, dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or make certain other payments or investments. These restrictions could limit our ability to grow our business through acquisitions and could limit our ability to respond to market conditions or meet extraordinary capital needs.
We have historically incurred net losses which couldmay resumecontinue in the future and may impact upon other aspects of our operations.
More recently, we have had certain impairment indicators with respect to other parts of our operations, in particular our Cable Television segment. Certain future events and circumstances, including deterioration of general economic conditions, a decrease in audience acceptance of our content or programming, a shift by advertisers to competing advertising platforms and/or changes in consumer behavior could result in a downward revision in the estimated fair values of any of our reporting segments such as our syndication, cable or digital operations, which could result in non-cash impairment charges. Any such impairment charge for goodwill, intangible assets and/or programming could have a material adverse effect on our reported net earnings and other financial results.
We currently pay royalties to song composers and publishers through Broadcast Music, Inc (“BMI”), American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (“ASCAP”), SEASAC,SESAC, Inc. (“SESAC”) and Global Music Rights Inc. (“GMR”) but not to record labels or recording artists for exhibition or use of over the air broadcasts of music. We must also pay royalties to the copyright owners of sound recordings for the digital audio transmission of such sound recordings on the internet. We pay such royalties under federal statutory licenses and pay applicable license fees to Sound Exchange, the non-profit organization designated by the United States Copyright Royalty Board to collect such license fees. The royalty rates applicable to sound recordings under federal statutory licenses are subject to adjustment. The royalty rates we pay to copyright owners for the public performance of musical compositions on our radio stations and internet streams have recently increased and could further increase as a result of private negotiations and the emergence of new performing rights organizations ("“PRO"”), which could adversely impact our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, from time to time, Congress considers legislation which could change the copyright fees and the procedures by which the fees are determined. The legislation historically has been the subject of considerable debate and activity by the broadcast industry and other parties affected by the proposed legislation. It cannot be predicted whether any proposed future legislation will become law or what impact it would have on our results from operations, cash flows or financial position.
For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, approximately 35.0% of our net revenue was generated from the sale of advertising in our core radio business, excluding Reach Media. We consider our Radio Broadcasting segment to be our core radio business. Within our core radio business, seven of the 13thirteen markets in which we operated radio stations throughout 20242025 (Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Cleveland, Houston, Indianapolis, and Washington, DC) or a portion thereof accounted for approximately 77.2%78.6% of our radio station net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024.2025. Revenue from the operations of Reach Media, along with revenue from the seven significant contributing radio markets, accounted for approximately 38.9%37.5% of our total consolidated net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024.2025. Adverse events or conditions, including reductions in government spending and/or employment, in one or more of the seven significant contributing radio markets or impacting Reach Media could have a material adverse effect on our overall financial performance and results of operations.
Our media properties compete for audiences and advertising revenue with other radio stations and station groups and other media.media and technology such as artificial intelligence (“AI”). Fragmentation of audiences and/or adverse changes in audience behavior, ratings, internet traffic, and market shares could have a material adverse effect on our revenue. Larger media companies, with more financial resources than we have, may target our core audiences or enter the segments or markets in which we operate, causing competitive pressure. Further, other media and broadcast companies may change their programming format or engage in aggressive promotional campaigns to compete directly with our media properties for our core audiences and advertisers. Competition for our core audiences in any of our segments or markets could result in lower ratings or traffic and, hence, lower advertising revenue for us, or cause us to increase promotion and other expenses and, consequently, lower our earnings and cash flow. Changes in population, demographics, audience tastes and other factors beyond our control, could also cause changes in audience ratings or market share.
Consolidation among our competitors and other market participants has risen recently resulting in increased competitive pressures, such as limited availability of licensable content. Our competitors include vertically integrated media businesses, as well as companies in adjacent sectors with significantly more financial, marketing and other resources, greater efficiencies of scale, fewer regulatory burdens and more competitive pricing power. Such competitors could also have preferential access to programming and content, emergent technologies, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”),AI, and more robust customer data and competitive information. Our competitors may also enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions. Failure by us to respond successfully to these developments could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.
Risks related to developments in AI.
We face emergent risks related to AI including generative AI and automated content creation which could significantly alter audience behavior, degrade the perceived authenticity of our brand, and increase competitive fragmentation, any of which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. The rapid evolution of AI technologies presents unique risks to our core business model, which relies on the human-centric connection between our on-air talent and our listeners. We are increasingly subject to the following risks:
•Audience Preference for Authenticity and Human Interaction: Our competitive advantage is built on “live and local” engagement. The increasing use of AI-generated voices, automated personalities, and synthetic content across the industry may lead to a shift in audience behavior where listeners prioritize or are unable to perceive “human authenticity.” If our listeners perceive our content as overly automated or lacking genuine human empathy, we may experience significant audience attrition and a diminished ability to charge premium rates for localized advertising.
•Fragmentation of Audio Discovery and Consumption: Generative AI search engines and AI-enabled virtual assistants are increasingly acting as intermediaries in audio discovery. As audience behavior shifts toward AI-curated personalized streams and “voice-first” discovery, traditional broadcast radio may be bypassed. If AI “gatekeepers” prioritize non-broadcast or algorithmic content over our stations, our reach and brand relevance could decline.
•Lowered Barriers to Entry and Content Saturation: AI enables competitors with significantly lower cost structures to produce high-quality, “media-like” experiences, including localized news and entertainment. This may lead to a saturated marketplace where audience attention is further diluted. Our ability to maintain market share depends on our ability to differentiate our content from a growing sea of low-cost, AI-generated alternatives.
•Regulatory and Reputational Risks of AI Disclosure: New and evolving regulations, including potential FCC mandates for AI-disclosure in political and commercial advertisements, could impact listener engagement. Mandatory disclosures may cause “listener confusion” or reflexive distrust of our broadcast stream, potentially leading to increased “tune-out” during revenue-generating commercial breaks.
If we fail to successfully navigate these behavioral shifts or if our own implementation of AI technologies alienates our core demographic, our advertising revenue, brand equity, and financial condition could be materially harmed.
We host internet services that enable individuals to exchange information, generate content, comment on our content, and engage in various online activities. The law relating to the liability of providers of these online services for activities of their users is currently unsettled both within the United States and internationally. While we monitor postings on our platforms, claims may be brought against us for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, unlawful activity, tort, including personal injury, fraud, or other theories based on the nature and content of information that may be posted online or generated by our users. Further, in times of economic instability, infringement claims may increase as rights holders become more proactive in enforcing their rights as other opportunities to monetize their rights diminish. Our defense of such actions could be costly and involve significant time and attention of our management and other resources.
Future asset impairment to the carrying values of our FCC licenses, goodwill across our various reporting units and TV One Trade Name could adversely impact our results of operations.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $257.8 million in radio broadcasting licenses and $30.0 million in goodwill within the Radio Market reporting unit, which totaled $287.7 million and represented approximately 30.5% of our total assets. Therefore, we believe estimating the fair value of goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses is a critical accounting estimate because of the significance of their carrying values in relation to our total assets.
We are required to test our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, which we have traditionally done as of October 1 each year, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances suggest impairment may have occurred. Impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible asset over its fair value. Impairment may result from deterioration in our performance, changes in anticipated future cash flows, changes in business plans, adverse economic or market conditions, a decrease in audience acceptance of our programming, a shift by advertisers to competing advertising platforms and/or changes in consumer behavior, adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations, or other factors beyond our control. The amount of any impairment must be expensed as a charge to operations. Fair values of FCCgoodwill licenseswithin the Radio Broadcasting reportable segment have been estimated using the income approach, which incorporates several judgmental assumptions over a 10-year model including, but not limited to, market revenue and projected revenue growth by market, mature market share,assumptions, operating profit margins, discount rate and terminal growth rate. Fair values of goodwill within the Radio Market reporting unit have been estimated using the income approach, which incorporates several judgmental assumptions over a 10-year model including, but not limited to, revenue growth rates of each radio market, operating profit margins, discount rate and terminal growth rate. We also utilize a market-based approach to evaluate our fair value estimates. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions and our judgment in applying them to the impairment analysis.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $26.6 million in the TV One Trade Name, which represented approximately 2.8% of our total assets. We believe estimating the fair value of the TV One Trade Name is a critical accounting estimate due to the subjective nature of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset.
The Company tests TV One's Trade name for potential impairment using the relief from royalty approach, which values a trade name by calculating the present value of royalty payments avoided given the continued use. The key assumptions used in the analysis for the trade name include cumulative probability of continued use, percentage of royalty payments avoided, projected revenue growth, terminal growth rate, and discount rate.
The Company tests the TVCable OneTelevision reporting unit for potential impairment using the Guideline Public Company ("“GPC"”) and income approach that estimates the fair value of the reporting unit, which involves, but is not limited to, judgmental estimates and assumptions about revenueprojected growth rates,revenues, operating profit margins, discount rate,rates, and the average recurring EBITDA multiple.multiples.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had approximately $144.9$92.4 million of goodwillgoodwill, net associated with the TVCable OneTelevision reporting unit,segment, which represented approximately 15.3%15.6% of our total assets. Therefore, we believe estimating the fair value of the TVCable OneTelevision reporting unitsegment is a critical accounting estimate because of the significance of its carrying value in relation to our total assets and the subjective nature of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset.
The Company tests the iOne reporting unit for potential impairment using the income approach that estimates the fair value of the reporting unit, which involves, but is not limited to, judgmental estimates and assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating profit margins and discount rate.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $7.2 million of goodwill associated with the iOne reporting unit, which represented approximately 0.8% of our total assets. We believe estimating the fair value of the iOne reporting unit is a critical accounting estimate due to the subjective nature of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset.
Within our core radio business, we are required to maintain radio broadcasting licenses issued by the FCC. These licenses are ordinarily issued for a maximum term of eight8 years and are renewable. Currently, subject to renewal, our radio broadcasting licenses expire at various times beginning October 2027 through August 1, 2030. While we anticipate receiving renewals of all of our broadcasting licenses, interested third parties may challenge our renewal applications. During the periods when a renewal application is pending, informal objections and petitions to deny the renewal application can be filed by interested parties, including members of the public, on a variety of grounds. In addition, we are subject to extensive and changing regulation by the FCC with respect to such matters as programming, indecency standards, technical operations, employment and business practices. If we or any of our significant stockholders, officers, or directors violate the FCC’s rules and regulations or the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”), or is convicted of a felony or found to have engaged in certain other types of non-FCC related misconduct, the FCC may commence a proceeding to impose fines or other sanctions upon us. Moreover, FCC oversight, regulations and enforcement priorities may change over time, and there can be no assurance that changes would not adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Examples of possible sanctions include the imposition of fines, the renewal of one or more of our broadcasting licenses for a term of fewer than eight8 years or the revocation of our broadcast licenses. If the FCC were to issue an order denying a license renewal application or revoking a license, we would be required to cease operating the radio station covered by the license only after we had exhausted administrative and judicial review without success.
The use of technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations gives rise to cybersecurity risks. Our industry is prone to cyber-attacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to our data or users’ data. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions around the world have increased. We suffered cyber-attacks in each of 2019 and 2025. These incidents did not have a material impact on our business, operations, or financial results. However, despite every measure we take to address cybersecurity matters, and although we have not experienced any material losses relating to any cyber-attack, we cannot assure you that we will not suffer losses related to cyber-attacks in the future, particularly due to the rapid changes in AI technology. Any failure to prevent or mitigate security breaches and improper access to or disclosure of our data or user data could result in the loss or misuse of such data, which could harm our business and reputation and diminish our competitive position. In addition, computer malware, viruses, social engineering (predominantly spear phishing attacks), and general hacking have become more prevalent in general. Our efforts to protect our company’s data or the information we receive may be unsuccessful due to software bugs or other technical malfunctions; employee, contractor, or vendor error or malfeasance; government surveillance; or other threats that evolve. In addition, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or users to disclose information in order to gain access to our data or our users’ data on a continual basis.
Any internal technology breach, error or failure impacting systems hosted internally or externally, or any large scalelarge-scale external interruption in technology infrastructure we depend on, such as power, telecommunications or the internet, may disrupt our technology network. Any individual, or repeated failure of technology could impact our operations and result in increased costs or reduced revenues. Our technology systems may also be vulnerable to a variety of sources of interruption due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers and other security issues. Our technology security initiatives, disaster recovery plans and other measures may not be adequate or implemented properly to prevent a business disruption and its adverse consequences, financial or otherwise.
In addition, as a part of our ordinary business operations, we may collect and store sensitive data, including personal information ofabout our clients, listeners and employees. The secure operation of the networks and systems on which this type of information is stored, processed and maintained is critical to our business operations and strategy. Any compromise of our technology systems could result in the loss, disclosure, misappropriation of or access to clients’, listeners’, employees’ or business partners’ information. Any such event could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personal information, disruption of our operations and damage to our reputation, any or all of which could adversely affect our business. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect our data and user data, to prevent data loss, and to prevent or detect security breaches, we cannot assure you that such measures will provide absolute security.
The Communications Act and FCC rules and policies limit the number of broadcasting properties that any person or entity may own (directly or by attribution) in any market and require FCC approval for transfers of control and assignments of licenses. The FCC’s media ownership rules remain subject to further agency and court proceedings. As a result of the FCC media ownership rules, the outside media interests of our officers and directors could limit our ability to acquire stations. The filing of petitions or complaints against Urban Oneus or any FCC licensee from which we are acquiring a station could result in the FCC delaying the grant, refusing to grant, or imposing conditions on its consent to the assignment or transfer of control of licenses. The Communications Act and FCC rules and policies also impose limitations on non-U.S. ownership and voting of our capital stock.
Deregulation could have an impact upon our internet business.
Changes in government regulations and the deregulation of broadcast ownership rules may increase competitive pressures and adversely affect our business and financial condition. Our operations are subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC, which possesses the authority to modify or eliminate existing regulations governing the radio broadcasting industry. While the deregulation of broadcast ownership limits, including the potential relaxation of local radio ownership caps and the elimination of cross-ownership restrictions, may provide us with opportunities for growth and consolidation, such changes also present significant risks. Specifically, deregulation may allow existing or new competitors to acquire a larger number of stations in our key markets, creating dominant clusters that could significantly enhance their competitive position in attracting listeners and advertisers. Increased competition for a limited number of desirable broadcast signals could lead to higher acquisition prices, making it more difficult or expensive for us to execute our own growth strategy. Furthermore, if deregulation leads to a more concentrated market or a significant change in the industry landscape, it could result in increased scrutiny from other regulatory bodies or the imposition of new, burdensome “public interest” obligations as a condition of continued deregulation. Any such regulatory shifts could increase our compliance costs, reduce our operational flexibility, or devalue our FCC licenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our Cable Television segment is dependent upon the maintenance of affiliation agreements with cable and direct broadcast distributors for its revenues, and there can be no assurance that these agreements will be renewed in the future on terms acceptable to such distributors. The loss of one or more of these arrangements could reduce the distribution of TV One’s and/or CLEO TV’s programming services and reduce revenues from subscriber fees and advertising. Further, the loss of favorable packaging, positioning, pricing or other marketing opportunities with any distributor could reduce revenues from subscribers and associated subscriber fees. In addition, consolidation among cable distributors and increased vertical integration of such distributors into the cable or broadcast network business have provided more leverage to these distributors and could adversely affect our Cable Television segment’s ability to maintain or obtain distribution for its network programming on favorable or commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The results of renewals could have a material adverse effect on our Cable Television segment’s revenues and results andof operations. We cannot assure you that TV One and/or CLEO TV will be able to renew their affiliation agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The loss of a significant number of these arrangements or the loss of carriage on basic programming tiers could reduce the distribution of our content, which may adversely affect our revenues from subscriber fees and our ability to sell national and local advertising time.
Pursuant to the terms of employment with our President and CEO, Mr. Alfred C. Liggins, III, in recognition of Mr. Liggins’ contributions in founding TV One on our behalf, he is eligible to receive an award amount equal to approximately 4.0%4.2% of any proceeds from distributions or other liquidity events in excess of the return of our aggregate investment in TVCable OneTelevision (the “Employment Agreement Award”). Our obligation to pay the award was triggered after our recovery of the aggregate amount of capital contribution in TVCable One,Television, and payment is required only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event in excess of such invested amount. Mr. Liggins’ rights to the Employment Agreement Award (i) cease if he is terminated for cause or he resigns without good reason and (ii) expire at the termination of his employment (but similar rights could be included in the terms of a new employment agreement or arrangement). As a result of this arrangement, the interest of Mr. Liggins’ with respect to TVCable OneTelevision may conflict with your interests as holders of our debt or equity securities.
We are a “smaller reporting company” and, thus, have certain decreased disclosure obligations in our SEC filings, including, among other things, simplified executive compensation disclosures and only being required to provide two2 years of audited consolidated financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects and may make our common stock a less attractive investment. While we do make certain disclosures beyond what is required for a “smaller reporting company”, we do not make any assurances that we will continue such additional disclosures in the future.
As a result of delayed filings of periodic financial reports with the SEC in each of calendar years 2023 and 2024, we fell out of compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c) (the “Periodic Filing Rule”). That rule requires NASDAQ listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. In addition, on February 11, 2025, we received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of NASDAQ notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s Class D common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class D Common Stock”) had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the NASDAQ Stock Market pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c) (3) (A), we have a period of 180 calendar days, or until August 11, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our Class D Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days as required under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c) (3) (A) (unless the NASDAQ staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c) (3) (H)) during the 180-day period prior to August 11, 2025. In the event the Company does not regain compliance prior to August 11, 2025, we may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The NASDAQ Stock Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, NASDAQ will inform us that we have been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, NASDAQ will provide notice that the Company’s Class D Common Stock will be subject to delisting.
We intend to actively monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and will consider all reasonable available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which may include seeking stockholder approval to affect a reverse stock split. While we may take actions to cure any Minimum Bid Price Requirement deficiency, the market price for our common stock may remain depressed as a result of such factors as: (i) low trading volumes; (ii) our indebtedness and perceptions of our ability to service that debt; (iii) conditions and trends in the advertising and broadcasting industries; (iv) actual or anticipated variations in our operating and/or financial results; (v) estimates of our future performance and/or operations; (vi) changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; (vii) technological innovations; (viii) competitive developments; and (ix) general market conditions and other factors. If we fail to meet the requirements of the Periodic Filing Rule, the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or any other NASDAQ listing requirement, we may become subject to delisting proceedings from NASDAQ. If our common stock were to be delisted, the liquidity of our common stock would be adversely affected, and the market price of our common stock could decrease. In addition, delayed financial reports could expose us to the risk of litigation concerning any impact upon the price of our common stock. Any such litigation could distract management from day-to-day operations and further adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

(b)Broadcast and digital operating income: The radio broadcasting industry commonly refers to “station operating income” which consists of net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, interest and investment income, non-controlling interests in income of subsidiaries, other income, net, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and (gain) loss on retirement of debt. However, given the diverse nature of our business, station operating income is not truly reflective of our multi-media operation and, therefore, we use the term “broadcast and digital operating incomeincome.”. Broadcast and digital operating income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Nevertheless, broadcast and digital operating income is a significant measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our core operating segments. Broadcast and digital operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations, apart from expenses associated with our fixed assets and goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt financings and retirements, corporate overhead and stock-based compensation. Our measure of broadcast and digital operating income is similar to industry use of station operating income; however, it reflects our more diverse business and therefore is not completely analogous to “station operating income” or other similarly titled measures as used by other companies. Broadcast and digital operating income does not represent operating income or loss, or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.
Broadcast and digital operating income decreased to approximately $92.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $140.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $47.7 million or (34.1)%. This decrease was due to lower broadcast and digital operating income at each of our segments except our Cable Television segment. Our Radio Broadcasting segment generated approximately $21.2 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $39.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower radio and political revenues offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Reach Media generated approximately $1.4 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $15.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower advertising and political revenues offset by lower programming and technical expenses. Our Digital segment generated approximately $2.4 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $18.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower digital advertising revenues offset by lower programming and technical and selling, general and administrative expenses. Finally, our Cable Television segment generated approximately $67.5 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to approximately $67.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower programming and technical and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Broadcast and digital operating income decreased to approximately $140.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $168.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of approximately $28.2 million or (16.7)%. This decrease was due to lower broadcast and digital operating income at each of our segments except our Radio Broadcasting segment. Our Radio Broadcasting segment generated approximately $39.2 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $34.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, of approximately, primarily due to higher political revenues. Reach Media generated approximately $15.5 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $17.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to lower expenses offset by lower revenue. Our Digital segment generated approximately $18.1 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $20.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to decrease in net revenues and reduced expenses. Finally, our Cable Television segment generated approximately $67.0 million of broadcast and digital operating income during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to approximately $95.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, with the decrease primarily due to lower net revenues and higher expenses.
(c)Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA consists of net (loss) income plus (1) depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on retirement of debt, employment agreement award and other compensation, corporate developmentcosts, non-recurring litigation settlement costs, non-recurring debt refinancing costs, severance-related costs, investment income, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, loss from ceased non-core business initiatives less (2) other income, net and interest and investment income. Net (loss) income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as “EBITDAEBITDA.”. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company’s operating performance and is a significant measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. Accordingly, based on the previous description of Adjusted EBITDA, we believe that it provides useful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our fixed assets and goodwill and intangible assets, or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the measures for comparing businesses in the broadcasting industry, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including, but not limited to the fact that our definition includes the results of all four of our operating segments (Radio Broadcasting, Reach Media, Digital, and Cable Television). Business activities unrelated to these four segments are included in an “all other” category which the Company refers to as “All other - corporate/eliminationseliminations.”. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.
The reconciliation of net (loss) incomeattributable to common stockholders to broadcast and digital operating income is as follows:
(1) Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses consists of expenses associated with our corporate headquarters and facilities, including personnel as well as other corporate overhead functions.
The reconciliation of net (loss) incomeattributable to adjustedcommon stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

(c) Debt refinancing costs include third-party transaction costs related to the First Lien Senior Secured Notes and Second Lien Senior Secured Notes. (see Note 13 - Debt)
(2) Investment income from MGM National Harbor is included in other income, net.
(3) In 2024, we made an immaterial change to the definition of adjusted EBITDA by adding back the loss from ceased non-core operations. All historical periods were recast to reflect this immaterial change.
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, borrowings available under our asset-backed credit facility. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance is approximately $137.6$26.4 million as of December 31, 2024.2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received $8.8 million representing the Company’s annual distribution from MGM National Harbor with respect to fiscal year 2022.
From time to time, the Company may repurchase its outstanding debt and/or equity securities in open market purchases.

If not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Second Lien Notes outstanding are purchased pursuant to a 2031 Second Lien Notes Change of Control Offer by the Company or a third party, the Company or such third party will have the right to redeem all 2031 Second Lien Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption.
The 2031 Second Lien Notes and related guarantees are the Company’s and the guarantors’ respective senior secured obligations and are secured on a second-lien priority basis by the collateral (and on a third-lien basis by the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the 2030 First Lien Notes Indenture) owned by the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions, limitations, permitted liens and the intercreditor agreements (the “Intercreditor Agreements”) providing for the relative priorities of the respective security interests in the assets securing the 2031 Second Lien Notes, the 2030 First Lien Notes (as defined below), obligations under the Current ABL Facility (as defined below) and any future secured debt of the Company and guarantors, and certain other matters relating to the administration of security interests. The 2031 Second Lien Notes are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company’s material subsidiaries. Under the terms of the 2031 Second Lien Notes Indenture and subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the 2031 Second Lien Notes and related guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors, including the obligations of the Company and the guarantors under the 2030 First Lien Notes and the Current ABL Facility and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of the Company and each guarantor. The 2031 Second Lien Notes and related guarantees are effectively senior to any unsecured indebtedness of the Company and each guarantor and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, indebtedness of the Company and each guarantor secured by liens junior to the liens securing the 2031 Second Lien Notes.

If Nasdaq’s proposed $5 million minimum Market Value of Listed Securities continued listing requirement becomes effective, or if we fail to maintain compliance with other exchange listing standards, our Class A Common Stock may be delisted, which would materially and adversely affect its liquidity, market price, and our access to capital.
Our Class A Common Stock (UONE) and Class D Common Stock (UONEK) are each separately listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, where an issuer maintains multiple distinct classes of listed securities, each class must independently satisfy all applicable continued listing requirements. On July 22, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a new Nasdaq continued listing rule requiring all listed issuers to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) of at least $5.0 million for each listed class, calculated as the consolidated closing bid price multiplied by the total listed securities outstanding of that class. Unlike other Nasdaq continued listing standards, the new $5.0 million MVLS standard carries no compliance or cure period. If a listed class remains below $5.0 million MVLS for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will immediately issue a Staff Delisting Determination, resulting in the immediate suspension of trading without an automatic stay upon appeal.
Although implementation of this rule was automatically stayed on July 29, 2026, pursuant to SEC Rule of Practice 431(e) pending full Commission review, there can be no assurance that the SEC will modify or reverse the approval order, or that the rule will not become effective in its current form. Because our Class A Common Stock has a smaller publicly traded float and lower total share count than our Class D Common Stock, its MVLS has historically fluctuated near or below the $5.0 million threshold. If the proposed rule becomes enforceable upon the lifting or resolution of the SEC stay, and the market price or share count of our Class A Common Stock does not sustain an MVLS above $5.0 million:
•No Cure Window: We will not be granted a 180-day cure period to regain compliance, and trading in our Class A Common Stock will be immediately suspended by Nasdaq.
•Limited Appeal Standards: The Nasdaq Hearings Panel’s discretion to grant an exception upon appeal is strictly limited to instances of factual calculation errors or our ability to demonstrate compliance with all initial (rather than continued) listing standards across our equity tiers.
•Remedial Structural Actions: To maintain or restore compliance, we may be required to pursue corporate restructurings, such as reclassifying or consolidating our stock classes, converting unlisted shares held by insiders into listed Class A shares, or executing equity issuances. Such actions may require charter amendments, board or shareholder approvals, or cause dilution or market volatility.
If our Class A Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, trading would likely be conducted on an over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. OTC trading generally involves significantly reduced liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads, decreased institutional investor coverage, and heightened price volatility.

(c)Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA consists of net (loss) income plus (1) depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, gain on sale of business, (gain) loss on retirement of debt, employment agreement award and other compensation, corporate costs, non-recurring litigation settlement costs, non-recurring debt refinancing costs, severance-related costs, investment income, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, loss from ceased non-core business initiatives less (2) other income, net and interest and investment income. Net (loss) income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as “EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company’s operating performance and is a significant measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. Accordingly, based on the previous description of Adjusted EBITDA, we believe that it provides useful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our fixed assets and goodwill and intangible assets, or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the measures for comparing businesses in the broadcasting industry, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including, but not limited to the fact that our definition includes the results of all four of our operating segments (Radio Broadcasting, Reach Media, Digital, and Cable Television). Business activities unrelated to these four segments are included in an “all other” category which the Company refers to as “All other - corporate/eliminations.” Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.
(a) Corporate costs primarily include professional fees related to the material weakness remediation efforts as well as legal cost related to acquisition activities.
