Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SBGI), the "Company" or "Sinclair," today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The results reflect the deconsolidation of the local sports segment comprised of the regional sports networks (RSNs), which are owned and operated by Diamond Sports Group ("DSG") and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, from the Company's financial statements and accounted for under equity method of accounting, effective March 1, 2022. As such, the year-to-date 2022 consolidated financial results only include two months results of operations of the local sports segment, while the consolidated financial results for the comparable 2021 periods include results of operations of the local sports segment for the full periods.

Third Quarter Highlights:

Third quarter Broadcast & Other total advertising revenue of $374 million increased 14% from the same period a year ago
Third quarter political advertising of $88 million
Approximately 500 thousand common shares repurchased

CEO Comment:

"Strong political revenues continued to drive results in the quarter, and we believe this year we will easily set a mid-term election year record for political advertising revenue," said Chris Ripley, Sinclair's President & Chief Executive Officer. "While we saw political displacement this quarter and expect it as well next quarter, we see positive signs for core advertising in certain categories including the legal category and the auto category, which began to grow again this quarter, but overall we are seeing some general ad market weakness from macro conditions."

Ripley continued, "At our recent Investor Day, we highlighted the future growth plans we are undertaking as an organization to make Sinclair less reliant on its two current main sources of revenue - retransmission fees and linear advertising revenues. These future forward initiatives range from creating original multi-platform content and building an omni-channel marketing services enterprise to driving totally new revenue sources from community and interactivity initiatives and data distribution capabilities. For example, in the content area, we recently announced a creative partnership with Anthony Zuiker, creator of the CSI franchise, to create content across a range of formats and subjects."

Ripley concluded, "We have been assembling the pieces of these future drivers of our business over the last several years and look forward to our work in these areas beginning to generate meaningful revenues and profits as we move into the future. Given our growth strategies, investment portfolio, and sizeable cash flow, Sinclair is well-capitalized and well-positioned to continue to develop into a more diversified company with numerous revenue streams and assets."
