Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased $4.4 million, or 23.4%, to $14.4 million, as compared to $18.8  million in the same period last year, primarily driven by non-cash impairment charges to our FCC licenses, intangible assets,  and investments of $31.1 million, partially offset by an increase in net revenue.

Adjusted Net Income increased $24.4 million,  primarily driven by the increase in net revenue and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $16.3 million.

The increase in Broadcast  Advertising Revenue of $8.3 million, or 3.8% was due in part to increases in the purchase of new advertising by our clients  and an increase in political broadcast advertising revenue of $3.5 million. The increase in Other net revenue of $4.7 million is  due to an increase in live events held during 2022.

Excluding political revenue of $7.5 million and $3.5 million for the years  ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, net revenue increased $41.1 million, or 9.9% to $455.6 million, Digital  Advertising net revenue increased $23.1 million, or 19.7%, to $139.9 million, and Broadcast Advertising net revenue  increased $4.8 million, or 2.2%, to $216.8 million. 

Net Income

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased $4.4 million, or 23.4%, to $14.4 million, as compared to $18.8  million in the same period last year, primarily driven by non-cash impairment charges to our FCC licenses, intangible assets,  and investments of $31.1 million, partially offset by an increase in net revenue.

Adjusted Net Income increased $24.4 million,  primarily driven by the increase in net revenue and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $16.3 million. 

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $8.6 million, or 8.2% to $113.7 million, as compared to $105.1 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Political) increased $5.2 million, or 5.1%, to $107.3 million, as compared to $102.1 million in the same period last year.

In addition, we generated significant cash flow from operations of $50 million, ending the year with over $43  million of cash, and net leverage declined to an all-time low of 4.29x,” commented Bill Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of  Townsquare Media, Inc. “2022 was a significant inflection point for our Company.

It marked the first year where radio no  longer comprised the majority of our revenue and profit, further separating Townsquare from our local media peers, and  placing a spotlight on our world-class team and our unique and differentiated strategy, assets, platforms and solutions.

Our  growth engine has been and will continue to be our digital solutions, which were the primary driver of our 2022 growth. Total  digital revenue increased +16% year-over-year (and +12% in the fourth quarter) to $231 million, and total digital Adjusted  Operating Income increased +12% year-over-year to $69 million, representing a 30% profit margin.

We believe  Townsquare’s ability to drive profitable, sustainable digital growth is a key differentiator for our Company, and we reaffirm  our expectation that our digital revenue will grow to at least $275 million by 2024.” 

Mr. Wilson continued, “We are uniquely positioned as a Digital First Local Media Company focused principally on markets  outside of the Top 50 in the United States, with a resilient digital growth engine supported by both a recurring subscription  digital marketing solutions business, with a large addressable market and limited competition, and a highly differentiated  digital advertising technology platform.

We believe that our business model and strategy position us to weather the current  economic environment better than most. We will continue to grow and support our local teams during these periods of  macroeconomic challenges so that we can continue to be a resource to our local clients and audiences, and be well positioned  to capture accelerated growth when economic tailwinds return.

Our success has been and will continue to be the result of the  Townsquare Team focusing on what we do best: creating high quality, local original content for our audiences and delivering  creative and cost-effective marketing solutions for our local clients with strong return on investment.”

Townsquare Media, Inc. (NYSE: TSQ) (“Townsquare”, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or  “our”) announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. 

TSQ Reports Record

“I am proud to report that Townsquare’s transformation into a Digital First Local Media Company allowed us to deliver  record results in 2022 despite a progressively challenging economic landscape. In 2022, we drove net revenue and Adjusted  EBITDA to new highs with strong net revenue growth of +11% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA growth of +8% year over-year.

In addition, we generated significant cash flow from operations of $50 million, ending the year with over $43  million of cash, and net leverage declined to an all-time low of 4.29x,” commented Bill Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of  Townsquare Media, Inc. “2022 was a significant inflection point for our Company.

It marked the first year where radio no  longer comprised the majority of our revenue and profit, further separating Townsquare from our local media peers, and  placing a spotlight on our world-class team and our unique and differentiated strategy, assets, platforms and solutions.

Our  growth engine has been and will continue to be our digital solutions, which were the primary driver of our 2022 growth. Total  digital revenue increased +16% year-over-year (and +12% in the fourth quarter) to $231 million, and total digital Adjusted  Operating Income increased +12% year-over-year to $69 million, representing a 30% profit margin.

We believe  Townsquare’s ability to drive profitable, sustainable digital growth is a key differentiator for our Company, and we reaffirm  our expectation that our digital revenue will grow to at least $275 million by 2024.” 

Mr. Wilson continued, “We are uniquely positioned as a Digital First Local Media Company focused principally on markets  outside of the Top 50 in the United States, with a resilient digital growth engine supported by both a recurring subscription  digital marketing solutions business, with a large addressable market and limited competition, and a highly differentiated  digital advertising technology platform.

We believe that our business model and strategy position us to weather the current  economic environment better than most. We will continue to grow and support our local teams during these periods of  macroeconomic challenges so that we can continue to be a resource to our local clients and audiences, and be well positioned  to capture accelerated growth when economic tailwinds return.

Our success has been and will continue to be the result of the  Townsquare Team focusing on what we do best: creating high quality, local original content for our audiences and delivering  creative and cost-effective marketing solutions for our local clients with strong return on investment.” 

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share. The dividend will be payable on May 1, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 27, 2023.

“The Board’s decision to approve a dividend reflects confidence in our current capitalization, the strength of our balance et, and our free cash flow generation. Our quarterly cash dividend of $0.1875 per share, or $0.75 per share on an annual basis, commences in May 2023,” concluded Mr. Wilson.
