(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 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 income.” 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.

(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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on retirement of debt, corporate development 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 "Corporate/Eliminations/ Other" line item in the reconciliation to the pre-tax income. 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.

To determine the fair value of the broadcasting licenses, the Company utilized the income approach which values a license by calculating the value of a hypothetical startup company that initially has no assets except the asset to be valued (the broadcasting license). The Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis for broadcasting licenses across relevant radio markets. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis for broadcasting licenses include market revenue and projected revenue growth by market, mature market share, operating profit margin, terminal growth rate, and discount rate.

Due to industry and macro-economic conditions along with ongoing subscriber churn, and forecasted cash flows for TV One, the Company reassessed the useful life for the TV One Trade Name. As a result of the reassessment, the Company concluded the useful life should change from indefinite-lived to a definite-lived intangible asset effective January 1, 2025, and the Company has adopted an accelerated amortization method and will amortize this asset with a carrying value of $26.6 million over a 20-year period. This was considered a change in estimate, was accounted for prospectively, and resulted in amortization expense of $0.6 million included in depreciation and amortization, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Due to industry and macro-economic conditions along with ongoing declines in national and local radio listenership, and forecasted cash flows for the Radio Broadcasting segment, the Company reassessed the useful life for the broadcasting licenses. As a result of the reassessment, the Company concluded the useful life should change from indefinite-lived to finite-lived intangible assets effective June 1, 2025. The Company has adopted an accelerated amortization method and will amortize the assets with a carrying value of $129.9 million over a range of 9 to 18-year period This was considered a change in estimate, was accounted for prospectively, and resulted in amortization expense of $1.3 million included in depreciation and amortization, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
