Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE:EVC), a media and advertising technology company, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"Net revenue in our Media segment increased 4% in first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025 due to an increase in digital advertising revenue and retransmission fees which were partially offset by lower broadcast advertising revenue and revenue from spectrum usage rights. Local advertising revenue increased 6% and national advertising revenue decreased 18%, excluding political revenue," said Michael Christenson, Chief Executive Officer. "Net revenue in our Advertising and Technology Services segment increased 204% in first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025. The ATS segment had higher monthly active advertisers and higher revenue per monthly active advertiser. These results were driven by the investments in the AI capabilities of our platform and our expanded sales capacity."

Mr. Christenson continued, "We repaid $5 million on our bank term loan in the first quarter of 2026, and we remain committed to reducing our debt and maintaining a strong balance sheet."

Highlights

Entravision reports its operating results for two segments. The Media segment provides video, audio and digital marketing services to local and national advertisers in the U.S. The Advertising Technology & Services ("ATS") segment provides programmatic advertising technology and services to advertisers and mobile app developers on a global basis.

Consolidated net revenue increased 114% for first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025.
- Media segment net revenue increased 4% for first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025, primarily due to an increase in digital advertising revenue and an increase in retransmission consent revenue, partially offset by a decrease in broadcast advertising revenue and a decrease in spectrum usage rights revenue.
- ATS segment net revenue increased 204% for first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025, primarily due to increases in monthly active advertisers and revenue per monthly active advertiser, which were driven by investments we made in the AI capabilities of our platform and increased sales capacity.
Segment operating profit was $29.1 million for first quarter 2026, compared to operating profit of $3.9 million for first quarter 2025.
- Media segment operating loss was $5.2 million for first quarter 2026, compared to operating loss of $2.6 million for first quarter 2025.
- ATS segment operating profit was $34.3 million for first quarter 2026, compared to operating profit of $6.5 million for first quarter 2025.
Corporate expenses decreased 8% for first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025, primarily due to expense reductions in rent and professional services, partially offset by an increase in bonus expense and non-cash stock-based compensation.
The company made a $5.0 million scheduled debt payment and paid a dividend of $4.6 million in first quarter 2026.
The company had $71.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and $162.2 million of long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt as of March 31, 2026.
